Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says, In a factory, it is found that the number of units x produced in a day depends upon the number of workers n and is obtained by the relation x equal to 7n into nq plus 22. The whole to the power of minus 1 upon 2, the demand function of the product is p equal to 5 upon 3 plus x determine the marginal revenue when m is equal to 3 also show that the marginal revenue decreases with increase of x. If we have that p is the price per unit and x is the number of units demanded then we have the demand function is given as x equal to f of p or p equal to f of x the total revenue R is equal to p into x then the average revenue AR is equal to the total revenue upon the number of units sold that is R upon x then we have the marginal revenue MR is equal to the rate of change of the total revenue with respect to the quantity sold that is dr upon dx is the marginal revenue MR. This is the key idea that we use for this question. Let's now proceed with the solution. In the question we are given that in a factory number of units x are produced in a day and this depends on the number of workers n and the relation between x and n is given by this we are also given the demand function we have to determine the marginal revenue when n is equal to 3 and we also have to show that the marginal revenue decreases with increase of x. Now first of all we have the demand function given as p equal to 5 upon 3 plus x as we know that the total revenue capital R is equal to p into x so total revenue capital R is equal to p that is 5 upon 3 plus x the whole into x and from here we have R is equal to 5x upon 3 plus x this is the total revenue. Now marginal revenue is dr upon dx so let's now find out the marginal revenue MR which is equal to dr by dx that is d by dx of 5x upon 3 plus x so this is equal to in the denominator we have 3 plus x the whole square minus the numerator we have 3 plus x the whole into d by dx of 5x which is 5 minus 5x into d by dx of 3 plus x which is 1 so this is equal to 15 plus 5x minus 5x the whole upon 3 plus x the whole square 5x minus 5x cancels and we have the marginal revenue MR is equal to 15 upon 3 plus x the whole square let this be 1 now the relation between x and n is given as x equal to 7n into n cube plus 22 we hold to the power of minus 1 upon 2 now putting n equal to 3 in this we get x is equal to 7 into 3 the whole into 3 cube plus 22 the whole to the power of minus 1 upon 2 that is we have x is equal to 21 into 27 plus 22 we hold to the power of minus 1 upon 2 or further we have x equal to 21 upon square root of 49 which is equal to 21 upon 7 now 7 3 times is 21 so this gives us x equal to 3 thus we can say for n equal to 3 we get x also as 3 as we are supposed to find out the marginal value when n is equal to 3 so for this we will put x as 3 in relation 1 since x is equal to 3 when n is equal to 3 so now putting x equal to 3 in 1 we have marginal revenue MR is equal to 15 upon 3 plus 3 the whole square that is 15 upon 6 whole square which is 36 now 3 5 times is 15 and 3 12 times is 36 so we have the marginal revenue when n is equal to 3 is 5 upon 12 so we have got this value now next we are supposed to show that the marginal revenue decreases with increase in x for this we now find out d by dx of the marginal revenue MR now as MR is equal to 15 upon 3 plus x the whole square so now d by dx of MR would be equal to 15 into d by dx of 1 upon 3 plus x the whole square or we have d by dx of the marginal revenue MR is equal to 15 into minus 2 upon 3 plus x whole cube so this is equal to minus 30 upon 3 plus x the whole cube is d by dx of the marginal revenue MR now x will take only positive values so we can say for all values of x 3 plus x whole cube is positive only positive values as x denotes the number of units so as for all values of x this denominator would be positive so we can say that d by dx of the marginal revenue MR would be less than 0 as this is less than 0 hence we can say that the marginal revenue decreases with increase of x this is what we were supposed to show so this completes the session hope you have understood the solution of this question


I feel most free on the track. It's hard to describe, it's almost like poetry. I'm at complete aggression, but at complete peace at the same time and I'm running down the track. It's like almost I'm outside of my body and I'm just flying past my competition. It kind of takes me back to when I was a kid and I used to race my big brother. He was always really athletic and I looked up to him. We used to race in the streets of our old neighborhood and I started beating him when I was getting a little older and then he used to get upset about it but I eventually started beating him and I was the fastest kid in the neighborhood. Thinking back on the 2008 Olympics, that was a great honor. It truly was.  I was traveling and I was running. That's the moment I'll never forget. I always remember and it was a beautiful moment. But now I'm looking forward to a new experience in my life. Hence why I joined the Navy. To represent the country in any magnitude I believe is a blessing to be able to give back to your country through your service is a blessing for any man. I'm YNS and Rodney Martin and I'm currently pursuing the Navy's world-class athlete program with hopes to one day represent the Navy and track and field.  They're amazing people. I kind of grew up hard as a kid, kind of like in public housing what people would call the projects but I wouldn't call it that because it was houses. I remember people say it takes a community to raise a child and that's true even if you're in a bad one. I can honestly truly say that track and field saved my life. I'm thinking I'm 30 years old now. I've been running track and field my whole life but I still felt that I haven't done enough where I can do more, I can give more. So the ultimate way to give is through service. So that's what led me to wanting to serve my country in the military. What goes through my mind when I put on my Navy uniform is the history behind it. Like the people that put that uniform on and literally went out to the fleet to protect our country and didn't come back home. When I think about how the Navy has changed me I would more so say it made me more aware of the sacrifices that the military makes for our country. I'm up close and personal with what it really means to serve this country and it's more than just thank you for your service. It's like without you what I did in the Olympics wouldn't even be possible. When it's all said and done I'm a sailor first and I wear that title with just as much or more pride that I wore the title of an Olympian or a world champion. So if this program don't work out I'm more than happy to go serve with my fellow shipmates in the fleet.


Now, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Femiq Bajabiamila, has charged Nigerian youth and the proper use of the social media. Bajabiamila made a call at the 2022 Commonwealth Day, celebrated in Abuja, with a theme that living a common future, organized by the management of the National Assembly. The speaker admonished youths to improve themselves in order to be responsible citizens that will contribute to nation-building. You must use the various social media platforms to learn and improve yourselves in order to be responsible citizens that will contribute to nation-building. As future leaders, the future begins now and you must avail yourselves of these rare opportunities to play responsible roles in your immediate environment. Three testing times, it is my hope that you can draw strength and inspiration from what we share as we work together towards a healthy, sustainable and prosperous future for all. All we need is now that the Commonwealth should help us come to our schools, tell us as a student that this is how we're going to build our future because if they don't come to the nations and the countries, it all dies in their own arena. It doesn't come to the future generation. The Commonwealth can achieve its goals to protecting its natural resources, good governance as well as boosting trade.


Okay, thank you everyone for joining today. My name's Adrian Ma, I'm from Cloud Dynamics. Today I'm going to talk about how we have interpreted and interfaced into OpenStack and made it available for use for enterprises. First thing is a little bit of background on Cloud Dynamics. We are a Canadian technology innovator. What we build today is what we call Cloud DC. It is a zero touch modular high density data center and it's fully term key in the sense that it's delivered and designed for service providers. Our goal ultimately is really to drive business value and increase I guess profitability and reduce costs for our customer base. So Cloud DC comes three main segments. At the very first layer is EcoDC. EcoDC is our own creation. It is a physical data center envelope data center facility. We use free cooling technology and we've done research over at Ryerson University to improve the cooling capabilities. We can bring our PUE down to approximately 1.1 or below using that data center fabric and we can deploy as small as two racks for our service provider customers. In the center is our SIF Flare. The SIF Flare is essentially the cloud infrastructure fabric that's normal, standard hardware you would get off the shelf from Cisco, HP, Dell and Juniper, et cetera. And that's where the different stacks would sit as well. So OpenStack will sit in there, CloudStack sits there. We have versions that work with Microsoft as well as VMware. And what sits on top of all of that is what we call CDOS. CDOS is our I guess presentation layer. It also provides capability for us to integrate everything into a single unified fabric. So we bring capability from SDN into CDOS and we're one of the few companies today that can deliver SDN in this scenario where it's not only within the data center but between data centers. And this is very critical because we can actually build data centers that are very small and now we can distribute them across the city without consuming an additional data center footprint. By doing so, we also have the capability of moving workloads around and the IP space around with it. And that's very critical in CDOS. So again, just a very quick overview of the things that we interface with in CDOS. On the left side is our CIF hardware stack that we talked about. That's where all this industry standard hardware is coming from. We are looking to integrate OCP into our technology stack as well. And that will be coming very shortly. The various virtualization stacks. Today we started out, I guess a few years ago building on cloud stack. And the reason for that was because of the enterprise type capabilities. OpenStack has come a long way in the last little while. So we are here today announcing that we are integrated with OpenStack as well. And on the far right, you'll see public clouds. So we have capability to integrate and present all the public clouds under the same interface. And we'll go through that interface in a minute here. I talked a little bit about SDN. Really, the key factor is that we're working and contributing also into OpenContrail. And Contrail is a product that we selected to deliver SDN and to provide the engine for being able to move our IP spaces around. And that's quite critical in our model because the bottom line is we want to move the data closer to the people. We want the data centers closer to the people. So having the ability to move workloads around is quite critical. Another capability that's interesting that we created is really the ability to actually subdivide resources within a cloud and to create a hierarchical cloud structure. So you'll see in the demo to follow that we can actually subdivide into different departments. Each department can further subdivide into different application groups or user groups and we can provide a detailed billing on each of these layers. Role-based access control, again, this is a very critical feature in the enterprise world and it's around being able to deliver I guess user partitioning. So you don't want necessarily a billing user to be able to access and provision cloud infrastructure and vice versa. So having different user profiles and at different layers of the cloud is quite critical. So this is just a kickoff into the demo. I was going to do the demo live today but I was worried about the internet connectivity. So what I did was I made a recording last night. I'm just going to pull that back and I'll walk you guys through it here. So the screen here that you see is actually our login portal. We're just logging in to create some cloud. Now, at the very first login, what you'll see here is a dashboard. It tells you all the resources that are available to you within that level of the cloud and it tells you what's allocated and also if there's multiple sites within your cloud that will be displayed. Also, here you have different events that you can see in the last 100 events. So for security purposes, you'll want to know what's always happening in your cloud. And I think basically that's the cloud just to refer to the diagram there. We're going to switch over to a sub-cloud right now. So essentially there's two sub-clouds. I'm going to pick sub-cloud number two. And in sub-cloud number two, what you'll notice is it looks exactly the same as a top-level cloud. You can do everything you can do at the top level. The only thing different is the number of CRU or the resources that are available to you. So the number of sites and everything are the same and you'll still have access to the same servers. The first thing we do in a cloud architecture is to create a VPC. This is the equivalent of a VLAN and that's a partition within your data center to be able to house all your VMs. So there's a default VPC with the account but we can create a brand new one. Just click through here. So the VPC is relatively quick. Actually OpenStack we've noticed is much faster than CloudStack in creating things. So I've created OpenStack Summit as a VPC. We are now going into the next layer where we're going to create some security zones. With security zones we can create different VLANs, essentially our subnets within the VPC. Now when you create the first VPC there's a default subnet that's created and that can be one you keep or it can be one you delete and you can add a different one. We've simplified this and this is designed to be able to support enterprise customers who want a simplified experience. So we're going to create a subnet here as an example for it. And just to show you some subnet ranges that we can support. Okay we're going to move on to servers now. So to create a server, I think what we're going to do today is to create a web server. So we're going to the server tab and under servers I'm just going to hit create. Pick the site that I want the server running on and it'll take a few minutes, there we go. So now we get to select our templates, what type of OS you're running. Here we can actually pre-provision different platforms as well. So it's not only just OS level and we're going to select a medium size template. Give the server a name and I'm going to stick it inside the VPC that we just created. I'm just going to put it in the web zone for the security group and we'll open up the security rules for that shortly. What's unique about our capability is that we not only handle what OpenStack does natively but we actually add additional capabilities, things like perimeter firewalls, hardware firewalls, load balancers. And all of this is actually being orchestrated by the same interface that you see here. So the server takes a few minutes to spin up, I actually recorded this live last night. You'll notice the time in the corner there so it just takes a few seconds. And all this is actually the same amount of time you would have in real time. So I'll get you some details on the server, gives you an IP address, the size, the OS template that we used, et cetera. Okay. So next thing we're going to do is actually make this server available within our cloud infrastructure. We've designed the system to be extremely secure. Our standard architecture is designed to be PCI compliant. So there's multiple layers of firewalls and security. So first thing we have to do is enable it for internet access. So before you can do anything to go out and communicate out to the internet that has to be enabled. So now it's enabled. We have a yes in the subnet. And the next thing we're going to do is actually go into the server and map it to a cloud IP. A cloud IP is actually making it publicly available within our cloud infrastructure. So this is one step before making it available to the public internet. So it's another layer of security that happens here. Now you see in the top right, it says reboot. This is a requirement in OpenStack after the NAT has been created. So we're just going to reboot the server. And just a couple more steps and we'll have a live server on the internet. Now again, this is because all these different layers of security are designed because they're meant to be supporting and mimicking enterprise infrastructure. So the multiple layers of security, multiple zones for or tiers within our security zones. Those are all flexible things that can be created in our environment. So you'll see now there's a cloud IP that has been created. And the next thing we're going to go is go to the perimeter firewall. So this is where we assign a public IP and we start creating some rules on the, this is actually going out to a hardware firewall on the outside of the cloud stack. So we're just, I think this particular firewall is a Juniper SRX series firewall. So now we have a public IP and I believe the next thing we do is we're going to add some rules to make it available on the internet. It's a great rule. It automatically selects the VM that's running. If there were more VMs, you'd have a bigger list. And actually I called the SSH but I think I came back afterwards and changed it to web on port 80. So you can check off the check mark and you can rename it if you need to. Okay, so one more layer of security in terms of firewall that we have to go through is actually the security zone. We have to add port 80 into the security zone itself so that maps all the way through into our infrastructure on the back end firewall. So we put it into one of the default security groups called web and in there we're gonna add a rule for port 80. So that is essentially how we created a web server. We opened up two layers of firewalls and we essentially started it up live. So what you'll see going forward, happy to give you more demos at the booth. We're over at E37 and yeah, I'd love to talk to you some more about that. Okay, thank you everyone.


In this presentation we will calculate the bond price explaining how this can be done using present value formulas within Excel. Support accounting instruction by clicking the link below giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website broken out by category further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical reasonable fashion making it much more easy to find what you need then can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Remember that the bonds is going to be a great tool for both accounting and finance to describe the present value calculations. That's why it's going to be used often times it had two cash flows related to it. One's going to be the face amount of the bond that's going to be due at the end of the term of the bond. In our case it's going to be two years semi-annual or four time periods and the other is the flow of interest. So bonds are a great example because they have the two types of present value problems that we need in one area. So even if you're not in an area where you're dealing with bonds all the time they're still going to be used and useful to understand present value types of calculations. So here we've got the bond is going to have one cash flow of 100,000 at the end of four periods or two years and we need to figure out what the present value is in order to price it back here at time period zero. And then we have these four payments in terms of the annuity 4,000 and we need to take those and present value them. We could take each period and present value each payment and present value it but the easier thing to do is to present value an annuity when it's applicable and present value the one amount when it's applicable and therefore think of that about these as two basically separate cash flows that we're going to have present value separately. So we can do this multiple different ways and it just depends on what tools you have and where you are in order to know how to do it. What you want to know is just that there's different tools to do it anytime someone uses a different tool what are they doing the same thing and when can you apply these tools and what's actually happening here. So that's what's actually happening we're present value in this information. We could do that with a formula. We could simplify this process by using a calculator or using Excel as we'll do here or tables. It's all the same stuff that we're doing. Just be aware of those different kinds of ways you may be asked to do it depending on what you're where you are if you're taking a test. Typically they give you tables and it's an accounting test. If they're not as nice to you they'll make you do the math. If they if you're somewhere not taking a test of course you'll have Excel hopefully or or a calculator to do this information. So the present value within Excel what we're going to do is we're going to we're going to do this two different ways again we're going to take the present value of the payment that's due at the end of the four time periods or two years and then we're going to present value the interest. So to do this we're if we have Excel we're just going to go to the formulas here. We're going to do this by by rather than just typing in the formula by going to this insert functions which will give us a formula box and make it a little bit easier some descriptions. We're going to type in present value and then get present value that's what we're looking for if you type in present value the entire word present value then you'll still find the same formula and that's going to be the present value formula as it explains down here that's the one we want. So we're going to say OK and then we'll just enter our data here and it'll give us some descriptions as we go through each of these down here if we click into this item it'll give us a description but we're just going to enter our data so the rate is the first thing it asks for we want to take the rate of ten percent because we're looking at the market rate to present value this thing and we're going to divide it by two so 0.1 or 0.1 ten percent divided by two to get the market rate for a semi-annual period and then we're going to take the number of payments which is going to be four and that's going to be the two years and we're going to pay every six months so we'll take that and multiply it times two to get four periods so that's the most confusing thing here is we're saying four periods not four years every six months and therefore the yearly rate is not ten percent which is given but ten percent divided by two because it's a rate for every six months rate and then we're going to take the future value that's what this is now the most confusing thing about this formula is that we use the same thing for an annuity and for a present value of one but it's the difference between these two fields that we use so we just kind of know on the annuity tables when we looked at tables we had different tables that we used in Excel we're going to say this number here represents payments how many payments we make so if it were an annuity as we will see when we do the interest portion we would put payments here but in our case we're only making one amount at the end of the time period one payment in our case at the end of the time period but we're really just trying to present value one amount so in other words we know the future amount we know what we're going to pay at the end of four time periods or two years it's a hundred thousand that hundred thousand is the future value because it's the actual dollar amount at the end of four time periods so we call that the FV or the future value so that's what we have notice that this is a required field because it's highlighted it seems like so it looks a little it's a little confusing to use this whereas this is not highlighted and therefore you would think it would not be a required field but in this case because we're using the same kind of box for Excel to do present value of an annuity or one these two are the most confusing components so this is how we're going to do this we're going to assume the calculation actually does it for us down here and that'll give us the idea of course that if there was nothing else going on if we're paying out one hundred thousand at the end of the time period and there's no interest then we would expect to get eighty two thousand two seventy now for a market a fair market transaction so that would be the eighty two thousand now if we hit okay here you could type this just in excel and it would look like this it's worth going through here and and looking at this uh... for excel it's equals present value that'll be the formula and then brackets and if we click on this item it'll give us the rate which we had point oh i mean point one divided by two or five percent and then comma just like it says here and then we're on here number of periods and then two commas what what is going on there that means that we're skipping over the payment remember we didn't have a payment so we could put a zero in there or just two commas that it's nothing and then we put the negative one hundred thousand that negative just to flip the sign that's the only reason you have a negative otherwise it would result in a negative answer so it has a positive answer it would be negative okay so then we put the hundred thousand that gives us the eighty two okay so then we have the present value of the annuity which is this form this formula we're going to do that in excel same thing we go to the same but this time we're going to take the rate same rate ten percent divided by two same number of periods four time periods and then the amount that we're going to pay is the one hundred thousand times point oh eight the stated rate on the bond divided by two because we're paying it every six months that four thousand that's how much we're going to pay every six months it's not the future value this time it's an annuity payment stands for payment so we're going to pay that each of those four time periods that's what this is saying there is no we don't need the future value or the type so this is the trick between these two this is the trick and knowing that the number of payments does not mean years but payments and knowing that the rate has to be the rate per period not per year then we're going to say okay and then this will be our present value formula here is going to get us the fourteen one eighty four which makes sense because we're going to pay four thousand four times which would be sixteen thousand if we present value it we expect an amount greater than four thousand less than sixteen thousand if we see the formula in this format we got present value times the rate point one divided by two and then we've got the number of periods four and in the payments we have this time four thousand we don't have any future value or any type not needed and that's what gives us our our calculation so if we add up our components then we've got the present value the hundred thousand eighty two two seventy the present value of the payments fourteen one eighty four or present value ninety six four fifty four now we're going to do this one other way that you could easily do in excel just to give us a better idea of what's happening here we could try to present value each time period which is an easy thing to do when using formulas in excel and it's it's going to be something that hopefully makes it uh... look a little bit different be able to see things it from a different angle so we're gonna put the number of periods here and we're gonna try to say what's the cash flow happening and then present value each time period and you'll see we'll get to the same result here so we're gonna say that uh... the bonds in period one at the end of the first year uh... there's there's no cash flow happening the interest however at the end of period one we're gonna pay four thousand now the period one is every six months so after six months after the first period we're not paying back the bond we are paying interest so the total zero plus four thousand is four thousand now if we were to present value just this four thousand not doing an annuity but just present value each time period at the end of six months we use the present value formula to present value one at the end of this time period and we would bring that that would be worth three thousand eight hundred and if we did that for period two six months later one year later now we'd say the bonds still we're not going to pay back any bond no cash flow there we are going to pay four thousand at the end of year two again and that means that the total zero plus four thousand is four thousand if we were to present value this four thousand at the end of one year or two six month time periods it would only be worth three thousand six twenty eight this is easy to do with with a formula in excel so and then if we go in in three and it's the same four formula the present value formula we can copy it down we don't even have to type it in there and then we've got the bond we pay another four thousand for the total zero plus four thousand but this four thousand at three years or a year and a half three time periods or a year and a half it's only worth three thousand four fifty five so of course the values going down as the time period increases time zero where we are now and then period four now we're going to pay back the bond because that's the end of two years a hundred thousand is going to be paid back we're paying that four thousand of interest that we pay every six months so total then one hundred and four thousand if we if we present value this whole one hundred and four thousand which is four time periods out or two years it's only worth eighty five thousand five sixty one so if we sum this up then we're going to say the cash flow is a hundred thousand that we're going to pay back at the end of the bond sixteen thousand that we're going to pay an interest in dollars a total of one hundred and sixteen which could be calculated here or here to get that one sixteen and then the present value however is the three thousand eight ten plus the three thousand six twenty eight three thousand four fifty five eighty five five sixty one or that sixty or that ninety six thousand five forty five this is often a useful way to see it in excel easy to do in excel when doing things by hand however you'll notice more tedious for us to present value each year it's easier for us to present value the annuity portion using an annuity table and then present value the bond portion that's going to be due at the end of time period separately and then add them together if you use an excel this is nice because you get to see uh... the cash flow on a yearly basis and present value on uh... a yearly basis so again that the transactions just going to be cash is going to go up when we record this we're going to sell it for ninety six four fifty four the bond goes on the books for the hundred thousand the discount is the difference three thousand five forty six cash is increasing bond on the books discount carrying value hundred thousand minus the discount


Hi everyone, my name is Steph, this is Little Bookish Teacher and welcome or welcome back to my channel. Today I'm here to talk to you about the Young Adult Shortlist for the Victorian Premiers Literary Awards for 2024. So last week I shared my thoughts on the Children's Shortlist and this week we're going to talk about the Young Adult Shortlist. So I do own all four books that were on the shortlist and the highly commended list but I couldn't find one of them, so I've only got three of them physically here with me. Just like in the last video, I'm going to start with the highly commended book and I'm kind of disappointed that this didn't make the actual physical shortlist but I'm glad that it was highly commended and that is We Didn't Think It Through by Gary Lonsborough. So this is a Young Adult Queer Contemporary Story. Hi guys, editing Steph here. I didn't realise when I started filming this video or when I filmed this video even though I say it in just about every single review of the book but every book in this shortlist is a Queer Young Adult title and I think that is absolutely wonderful. I think that is such great representation to see in a book prize shortlist for kids. About an Indigenous teen called Jamie who gets into trouble with some friends and finds himself in the youth justice system and it really looks at how the system is broken and very much geared towards and how the system is really stacked against Indigenous teens in particular and how there need to be more systems in place to stop reoffending perpetuating in the future and this is really Jamie having to make a lot of decisions about how he wants to live his life, how he wants people to see him and whether or not he can actually move past the decisions that he's made and it is very hard-hitting. It is an incredibly well-told story. Gary Lonsborough is just incredible. I can't say that I enjoyed reading it because it can be a very confronting read but the actual experience of it is just very powerful and it is a really great book particularly if you want to look at the realities of the justice system in Australia. Then we move into the three books that are in the shortlist so I'll start off with one that I couldn't find my physical copy of and that is We Could Be Something by Wilka Starkis. Wilka Starkis is an incredible Australian Young Adult author.  So we start off with Harvey who lives with his two dads and his two dads are currently in the process of separating and Harvey and one of his dads are moving back to Darlinghurst to live with his yaya and this kind of upsets Harvey's world and so he's having to adjust to being in a new place, having to make new friends etc. And then the second point of view is Satyrus and this one is set in the past and Satyrus had a very successful book published when he was 17 and now he's still chasing that high and trying to chase that success and his career is starting to stall and then he meets Gem who is a young bookseller and the two start a relationship and both Satyrus and Harvey's stories converge on Darlinghurst and we get to see how they're connected and how they're relevant to each other. I won't say why because that would be a spoiler. It's very much a story about generations coming together. It is about learning from your mistakes and sometimes taking many many many many years to learn from your mistakes and it was just a really interesting read. Wilka Starkis has a great writing style that's very easy to read. There is also The Quiet and the Loud by Helena Fox. I recently read this one so The Quiet and the Loud is a young adult contemporary fiction story with a slight romantic subplot in there that's rather messy and it is also set during a wildfire season. George lives with her mom and her and her stepmom. Both George and her mom lived through domestic violence situations with her father who was an alcoholic and who she no longer sees but hasn't really dealt with the after effects of that. She's also trying to support her best friend who is pregnant, her best friend will be a teen mother. It's a really interesting story because her friend deliberately got herself pregnant thinking that a child would make her life better and we rapidly learned that her best friend has a lot of mental health issues that she needs to work through as well. So there is a really complicated codependent friendship happening here. They also have another friend who is a climate activist who is obviously deeply affected by the wildfires and Australia's response to environmentalism and alongside all of this George meets a new girl in town who she begins to fall for but because George hasn't dealt with a lot of the things in her life it makes that relationship really really complex. There is a lot that goes on in here. It is a very very complicated, very messy at times story about growing up, about anxiety and working through your past trauma. So it's definitely an upper YA story because there is a lot that goes on in here that needs to be unpacked. And then there is a hunger of thorns by Lily Wilkinson which is a fantasy story and I really enjoyed this one when I read it. This is a book that I do have an individual review for so I'll leave that on the screen and link down below. So this is the story of Maud whose friend goes missing while investigating a out of bounds area part of the town called Sicklehurst and Maud decides to try and track her down. This is a book that's all about wild magic. It has an incredible girl gang who are just these wild girls who do not conform to what society expects them to. We learn a lot about Sicklehurst which is a place that is basically a character in this story. It is an intriguing and terrifying place where strange things happen when you go in there.  It does have complex relationships and it does look at how Maud's family have kept some secrets from her and how she begins to unravel those and learn a lot more about herself as she goes. So if you're interested in a dark creepy YA fantasy story with some really incredible female protagonists this is definitely a book to pick up. So those are the books that made it to the premieres literary awards for the Young Adult category. I'll leave links to where you can find out more information about all of them down below as well as any video reviews that I have for specific books. In the comments I'd love to know if you have read any of these books or if you're planning on picking any up or if there are any other Australian Young Adult titles that you feel should have made this list. If you want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment feel free to leave a rose emoji down below otherwise I hope that we're on the world just staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone.


I've been begging them all the Africans once said that they're going to sue your show for you having them out toward me here.  But I've asked them, look, send me a picture where you live. I ain't got a picture yet. I got all this talking. I got all this. This is Alexander. This is 2023. Whoa. This is one of the biggest slums in South Africa.  Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. No stranger to what we do. This guy right here, man, a lot of people. I got a lot of inboxes from Africa about this guy right here. They was telling me, you don't know, you don't know. I couldn't understand what they were saying far as if it was not text, but it was, it was, it was pretty living. They sent me a lot of videos. I get tagged in every African video now. Anything they got going that they feel like they want Boss Talk 101 to know, they tagging me in it on YouTube, on Instagram. Well, he's here again, and he's going to tell us why he said what he said about Africa. I told them, Marvin's in the building. In the building. We are in your city now. We're in Los Angeles. I forgot you from Compton. I'm from Compton, but I'm from California. We're in Babylon. We're here. Glad to know. Glad to know. I'm here in California, man, and I'm loving it, man. What's going on with you, man? How you looking good? Man, I took a bath and everything. I heard you had a birthday. Man, just had one on the fourth. Really? Yes, sir. What'd you do, man? You weren't even in the city, man. Yeah, I was. I was here. You made it back. I was in Meridian, Mississippi with Freeway Rick Scorancho. They did a comedy show in Meridian, went really well. It was really nice, man. I had experience and I learned a lot about Freeway and I learned a lot about, you know, his moves and his mechanism. So it was an educational experience for me dealing with Brian, his business mind. Genius. Valid, really solid dude, you know, and I really appreciated the experience him in the Gaelan Smith. Yeah. Shout out to Gaelan and Freeway. Look here, bro. I'm going to move to Meridian. You're going to move to Meridian? I'm going to stay there, but I'm going to move there. What was the good thing about it? Girls. They should be fresh. And then I could lie to them before they lie to me. Wow, man. I was there like a celebrity. Last time when you was on the show, I got to get this off, man. Yeah, I got to, man.  I didn't know you were going to say it. I'm glad you didn't know it. I didn't know it. I called me by surprise. You don't like Africa. I'm like, what Africa? Whatever, what made you say that? I said it in the pretest and I came back on my podcast. I got a lot of flak off of it.  I was kind of being facetious in one way, but I was being what I had learned and what I experienced. And I got on my podcast when I told them off and I apologized for the monkey and the gorilla. It was a monkey gorilla and something else. Oh, my mother had to tell me that tigers wasn't in Africa like they in the zoo.  I just said that. I said that. And I was really, because I don't want nobody to really say, you know, nothing about Compton and take offense to where you live, but the truth is the truth. You dig it. I'm saying so you're trying to elaborate that Africa. Yeah, I got all the man. I cuss some of them back out and me and we was going at it. But one thing about it in all of Texas and everything that they sent you, I've been bagging them. All Africans once said that they're going to sue your show for you having out toward me here.  But I've asked them, look, send me a picture where you live. I ain't got a picture yet. I got all this talking. I got all this. This is Alexander. This is 2023. Whoa. This is one of the biggest slums in South Africa.  But that's not showing, but that's not showing anything bad from what I've seen in the TV show. It's bad when you're walking around houses on top of houses. They're not houses. There's houses that are close together. Oh, yeah, this here. Where is that? New York has houses close together. Okay. Yeah, but that doesn't look too promising. I ain't moving around. Yeah, that one don't look so okay. Here you go. Let me show you what they rested in 2023. Since you said they ain't nobody doing that in New York. Where are they doing that at? That's South Africa. This from old, gotta be a long time ago. No, that's not. That's 2023, bro. Okay. What part of Africa is that? This in South Africa. That's in Alexandria because but in the comment that you said, you spoke about Johannesburg in particular. Johannesburg is South Africa, dear. Okay, I don't know. I'm just asking. Well, I'm going to let you know. I'm going to let you know. Saitan is Shantan. That's the rich part. This is a mile and a half away from right in the backyard of all these rich peckerwoods. This is the ghetto. This is the slum. But it's a certain part of because you know, it's a certain part of everywhere. Exactly. Cause everywhere you go, even here, you have certain parts of the ghetto and I agree with that 100%. And when you, if I take you on a fantastic voyage and take you all apart of Beverly Hills and right now, we're in downtown. Have you been to the east side of downtown? No. We'll go over there and see how they live and over there. These high rises. That's where all the homeless people are. This is the biggest. This is the Johannesburg of south central. So everybody got them. You dig what I'm saying?  And do you know why Nigeria is successful? Why? Because the last 26 years, they dealt with China instead of China. China started going into the ghettos and building schools and they deal with communism and socialism. Johannesburg, South Africa, they're trying to deal with democracy. With democracy does not take care of capitalism is capitalism and the one percenters run everything. So you're 20% of your nation and 20, 80% of your nation and 20% runs everything you have. So if you want to be the only way that they can get any justice is one or two systems. Totalitarianism or utilitarianism. The greatest good for the greatest number. So I've went and researched everything and how Africa got where it was and who it is. And they talk about the billionaires they have in Africa. It's Nicky Offenheimer. She's the billionaire in Africa. This is the white family that owns 90% of the country and the diamonds Offenheimer's. This is a white man. This is a white family. They don't have no black billionaires. One and his name is Patrice Mosin B. He's the he's the only black African in Africa. John Rupert is the third white billionaire. These are South Africa's billionaires, the wealthiest billionaire, $650 billion, only four blacks. So your number don't add up.  So if you call Africa the motherland in America, it would be a crackhead mother because they left it. We talk about the Northwest Passage and Southwest Passage. What white folks got us there? Other niggas put us on them boats. They were having wars and tribalism and they sent the stronger ones and the weaker ones stayed there. But one thing about Africa, they never come to get us, did they? You don't have nobody in the line trying to get to Africa, but Africa is always trying to get to America. You got to open up for buildings. I know people who said they would move to Africa now. They would. They ain't gone.  I don't know. Tell me, I'll wait. How many of you know that moved over there and stayed? The people that told you. They just say they're going to move. Going to Africa is like waiting on Jesus. Okay. I'll wait. So what you're saying is this a much better living condition in America than it is to go over there to Africa? It's apparent.


So it seems as though the dogs in the Prestige raid are a little confused, I mean why seek them out when they come to you, good game bungee, good game indeed. I will bring you guys a video with my thoughts on this raid that will arrive tomorrow. As always guys don't expect me to hold back, but yes this is one of many many glitches that are still in the raid which we have experienced running through it and really they shouldn't be there. Other but at the time we found this one in particular hilarious, at the end of the day it really shouldn't be happening. Also remember guys to win some epic loot in the form of emblem codes, sparrow codes, gift cards and much much more, simply drop a like and a video leave a comment down below and join my discord server linked within the video description. But on that note guys I am out, how's your experience with the hard mode raid being so far? Let me know down below within that comment section but thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of this crazy video and I'll catch you on that next one.


This video is sponsored by Audible. Stick around for a special offer. Damn cut down to level one. What do we have? Standard stabbing victim? Anything but. This was an expert assassination in broad daylight. Hidden chain armor, no witnesses, and yet every major organ has been punctured. So whoever did this was incredibly skilled or incredibly lucky? Very true. They really split the party. There's not really a party. He's the only victim. Right, sorry. I forgot you hadn't seen the rest of it yet. The rest of... What could have done this? Fireball. My gut says wizard. Never met one that could resist a good evocation spell. Add that to our stealthy stabber and we've got ourselves an adventuring party in the making. Adventuring parties are the good guys though. I mean they can be rough around the edges but they wouldn't just attack civilians. Tell that to the other guy. Oh my god! Yet another victim of senseless looting. He's been chopped into pieces! They were thorough. A little too thorough. They must not have gotten what they wanted and they'll be back. They always come back. I can't even tell which part is his head. Doesn't matter. He's dressed like a metrosexual genie which means he owned a magic shop in the middle of town. He must have had a rare item that our suspects couldn't afford and it looks like crime didn't pay. Why do you keep doing that? Because I know who the killers are. Cool knights of the 420.  That describes like 80% of all adventuring parties. We have to move fast. Alert the guards, print wanted posters and hire more eccentric shop owners. Because we're down one. Detective, wait! This doesn't make any sense. I've heard of this group. They've protected people from monsters and saved towns. Why would they do something like this? Listen, rookie. These people may paint themselves as heroes but I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Civilian lives traded for treasure. Massive collateral damage just for the sake of making battles look cool. Bears. Disguised as people. No one would listen. So they're criminals. Will we treat them like heroes? I had no idea. Don't worry. Once we catch up to them, the party's over. Yes! That's him! That's the bard! Get him! Ta-da! Oh, that sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. There's a lot of monkey locusts out there him letting him work in days. How much does that cost? Well, here's the thing. If you go to the URL www.audible.com slash door monster, you get a 30-day free trial and a free audiobook that you can keep after the free trial's over. A free is pretty good. I can afford free. You can even text door monster to 500-500 for the same results. I don't know what that means but that sounds very convenient and then I can listen to stories about heroes who stop raids of monkey locusts before they eat people's families. Hey, you can even listen to stories without monkey locusts in them at all like Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. No, no, that sounds highly unrelatable. Come on, just think of all the inspirations all the youngsters could get for their role-playing tabletop games. That's a good point. We gotta make sure they have a better life than us. Hey, give me a favorite. Help me plug up the chimney so we can eat our emergency bananas in peace. Sounds good.


This is Professor Kevin Ksu, he is a professor at Louisiana State University, and Kevin will talk about shelf sediment transport during hurricanes Katrina and Marita. Thank you, Edward. Can you hear me? Yeah. Okay. Good morning, everyone. My name is Kevin. I'm a sushi professor from SU. I also serve as the interim director of Coastal Studies Institute. So today, I'd like to talk about a paper published in 2016. At the beginning, I'd like to acknowledge my co-authors, including Ranjalee Meike, who is now in USGS SMP, Jim Chen from Northeastern, Corny Harris from WIMS, Rob Hetland from Texas NM, Colleen Hu, who is now at Tulane University, as well as Jiaze Wang, who is at UM CES, and she's also in the meeting. So why do we care about hurricane-induced sediment transport? Well, this has been a very hot topic over the past several decades. Many scientists would like to know the seabed erosion and deposition during the passage of hurricanes. Unfortunately, the observation of a hurricane-induced sediment transport is very, very limited. If you use the numerical model, in many situations, the model can blow up due to the extreme condition in the passage of hurricanes. So we have used a modeling system, which is based on regional ocean modeling system, and the sediment part was developed by CSTMS. Back in 2011, we published a paper on continental shelf research to look at the dispersal of the Mississippi and Achafalaya river sediment, so based on that work, we look at the seabed response during the passage of two hurricanes, Katrina and Rita. So we are fortunate to have some very exciting observations from Gurney et al. 2007. They actually went out after the passage of hurricanes to collect the sediment cores, and then they did some really new collide and X-ray analysis to quantify the post-hurricane sediment deposit. So when we run the numerical models, we had to do more than 22 sensitivity tests. The parameters we looked at were mainly on settling velocity, critical shear stress, as well as erosional rates. So now let's take a look at the model setup. So the top figure is the model grid, which was developed by Rob Hetland from Texas A&M, and you can actually see the passage of the track lines of two hurricanes. So here I'm using a red circle as a laser pointer. This is Hurricane Katrina, and this is Hurricane Rita. And then regarding the seabed sediment, we actually interpolated the mud fraction using U.S. seabed database, and we actually got some help from Chris Jenkins. So as you can see in the inner Louisiana shelf, you have lots of red area, which is very muddy, but we do have some coarser area, which is composed of lots of sand, including several major submarine shoals. And the southern boundary is in blue, and this is artificial. We actually just added lots of coarser sediment along the model boundary to minimize some artifacts. And let's take a look at the model validation. So we selected four stations, going from east to west. If you see those five-digit numbers, they are actually from the NOAA and DBC BOE stations. And BURL1 is right on the Mississippi Delta. So during the passage of Hurricane Katrina, you can actually see almost a 50 meter per second of wind speed, which is a huge number. And then after the passage, about one month later, there was Hurricane Rita, and Hurricane Rita also caused a lot of energetic wind in the western part of the model domain. And in general, our model matched the observation very well. But you can see that in panel B and C, we did not have much of observed data due to the damage of the Hurricane Katrina. And then we also compared the modeled wave height with observed wave height. During the passage of Katrina, you can actually see almost 18 meters tall of waves. And this is actually a huge number. And then in another station at CSI-6, we also saw a significant number of wave height, which was around six meters. And then during the passage of Hurricane Rita, we actually saw a really, really large number. You can also see a wider peak, which is in response to the slow movement of the Rita. So now let's take a look at some modeling results. We have a total of six panels. Left three panels are for Katrina, right three panels are for Rita. So if you look at the wind field, the maximum wind field are actually those warm colors over here for Katrina, over here for Rita, but I want to draw your attention to the asymmetrical wind field. In general, east of a hurricane track, you would normally see stronger winds and taller waves, as well as very large, near-bed wave orbital velocity. In Katrina, as an example, we even saw almost a three meter per second for maximum near-bed wave orbital velocity. In fair weather or moderate condition, normally the wave orbital velocity is like a 0.1 or 0.2 meter per second. So this is a very, very extreme condition. And now let's take a look at the conditions during the peak of the hurricane. Left two panels for Katrina, right two panels for Rita. So during the passage of the hurricane Katrina, this is right before the hurricane made the landfall, you can actually see very large wind field, very strong, very tall wave, east of the track line. But if you look at the bottom shear stress, you actually can see lots of high bottom shear stress in the inner and the middle part of the continental shelf. So to some degree, the bottom shear stress is mainly controlled by the topography of the symmetry. So now let's take a look at some numbers on the seabed. So we actually extracted information from a total of four stations. Going from east to west, we have four triangles. We have the MISS, which is a station near Mississippi. And we have AB5, 10B, 8C. And those are actually three stations mainly used for hypoxia studies by many, many scientists. So to the left, we have wind speed on top, which indicated a very, very strong wind during the passage of the hurricane Katrina, a very large shear stress generated here near Mississippi Delta, the black line indicated that the shear stress is almost a 50 Pascal. And if we compare this number with a fair weather condition, you know, fair weather condition, you probably have a number somewhere between 0.1 and 0.5 Pascal. And because of very extreme and energetic condition, we saw huge seabed erosion. So if we look at the black line, the Mississippi River Delta, about a one and a half meter sediment was eroded in the shallow water and transported into the deeper part of ocean. And then we also saw some centimeter to up to a meter level of a seabed change during the passage of Rita. So to wrap up, we have three major concurrence. So if we compare two hurricanes, Katrina followed a very short perpendicular track. It was moving very fast and the energy dissipated only within two days. In contrast, Rita followed a more short oblique track. So it went across the entire Gulf of Mexico and it actually moved a little bit slower over a longer distance in the Gulf area. Because of that, you will see a longer impact from Rita. And then if we think about the superficial variations, if you are used of the hurricane trip lines, most likely you will experience stronger winds, taller waves and deeper erosion and a thicker post-hurricane deposition as well. There are still lots of uncertainties in the model, but based on our sensitivity test, we believe that the hurricanes can actually disturb the sea flow at centimeter to meter level of change. And that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Kevin.


We are honoured to be here at the Wiki Workshop 2023 to present our work entitled developing a community-related research structure in developing countries where we present our experience in creating the data engineering and semantics research unit at the University of Spaksa, Tunisia. Research structure should closely work with the industry and with government as a civil society within the framework of what is called the triple edict collaboration. However, in reality, every stakeholder is working in its own bubble without looking at the other stakeholders. However, socially engaged structure that actually looked at what the other stakeholders have done actually have achieved more in less time. We can name the grassroots organisations that actually work with industry, with research communities and with civil societies to achieve participatory research across the African continents. For example, we can name deep learning in Daba for deep learning, sisonchibiotic for machine learning and healthcare, masakana for natural language processing, and bisu for computation in neuroscience. As well, there are several startups that have looked at the AI ecosystem and collaborated with the civil society and government to achieve African customized computer applications like InstaDeep and the Lapa AI, and they have actually raised a lot of income across the continent over the last few years. As Wikimedia Odysseus and open science advocates, we're aware of such a problem. That's why we decided to enter the supervision of Dr. Mohammed Benawisha as a side professor of computer science at the University of Svax, one of the most published universities in African computer science research, to actually create a socially engaged Wikimedia community focused on research in Svax, Tunisia. Our adventure began in 2011 when the University of Svax had published its first Wikimedia research paper. In 2016, the University of Svax had its first feature at the Wikimedia Research News letter. In 2018, at the Wikimedia conference, the Wikimedia researchers at the University of Svax presented their work at the first time, and since that, they are regularly participating in Wikimedia conferences such as Wikimania, Wikimedia Hackathon, etc. In 2019, they actually organized their first Wikimedia funded research training, and in 2020, they have had their first ever government funded Wikimedia research project. All these efforts have been very efficient in actually convincing the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to recognize our research community as the research structure in 2021. We have been participating in Wikimedia-related research venues, and in 2022, we have had our first Wikimedia funded research project related to the use of Wikidata in the medical practice. Our work as a research structure is mainly based on open collaboration. Some materials allocated to us through Wikimedia research projects are integrated into the data center so that they can be shared among all of our members using virtual machines. The development of our research and development projects is mainly based on brainstorming with Wikimedia affiliates, active Wikimedians and Wikimedia researchers, industry, research communities, government, and even the data engineering and semantics research unit itself. This consists of conception through meetings and literature review, implementation with source code and data sharing on GitHub, testing using our data center, and deployment on Wikimedia cloud services, particularly Toolforge. Thanks to our Covernance model, we have succeeded to issue 27 peer-reviewed publications during the last 10 years, making our community the most published one in Africa. Seven of these publications were issued after the creation of the data engineering and semantics research unit. We are now growing in size, and we have 19 members, a website detailing our activities and projects, the building and the data center at the Faculty of Sciences of SPACS, and we also had the opportunity to reach undergraduate and graduate research students and build collaborations with Wikimedia affiliates, particularly Wikimedia Tunisia, Wikimedia Medicine, and Wikimedia and library user group. Beyond that, we have been successful to gather major research publications with active Wikimedia researchers and Wikimedia contributors from all over the world. Finally, we have to recognize that all what we have achieved would not be done without the generous funding of the Wikimedia Foundation, of the Wikicredit Grant Initiative, and of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Tunisia. That being said, we are honored to have you on a quick tower of our research structure to see the infrastructure that we have made available for Wikimedia researchers in Tunisia to work on Wikimedia-related research projects. So that's all. If you have any questions to ask, please feel free to reach out to me now or ask the head of our research structure, Dr. Mohamed Benawisha, through his email address or his phone number shown here. Thank you.


Did you know that you can catch a level 100 magic cop in Pokemon Scholar and Violet Teal Mask DLC? What's even crazier about this super strong rare spawn is that it can also be shiny. Done this Pokemon come to this location in Ketokami. Once here drop a save and then set up a picnic and create a sandwich to give you sparkling and encounter power level 3 for water type Pokemon. Once set up take your picnic down to get new magic cop spawns in. If no shiny appears set up your picnic to despawn everything on the field and repeat this process. Eventually you should get a shiny magic cop appear. When you do encounter it and if you're lucky there's a chance you'll be able to get yourself the elusive shiny level 100 magic cop for your collection in Pokemon Scholar and Violet.


Your Excellency, the Minister of Science and ICT of the Republic of Korea, Honourable Young Yimin, Your Excellency, the Mayor of Busan, the Secretary-General of the ITU, Mr. Haulin Zew, Ministers and representatives of different government present, leaders of the industry and regulatory bodies, ladies and gentlemen. Firstly, I must extend our great appreciation to our host, the Minister and the Government of the Republic of Korea for the warm welcome which is beyond our expectations. Thank you. Secondly, I must thank my dear friend Mr. Zaw of the ITU for the unflinching professionalism and innovation that the ITU telecom world team continue to apply to the organization of this prestigious event. This is what we expect from our organization as a responsible organization for the ICT sector within the United Nations system. We have an excellent program ahead of us. Over the next few days, we have an opportunity to reflect and engage in debates on technologies and innovations that continue to shape our world, to consider the best policy and regulatory responses and determine the investments we must make as we continue to strive to develop our economies, transform our industry, support innovation and respond to new disruptive business models. In this regard, I must commend the ITU for using this global event, for ensuring that this global event has provided a platform for small medium enterprises to connect with the international audiences. In the development context, SMMEs have an important role to play. One of the reasons for this is that their business models tend to be based on their innovation. They do not have to seek innovation to suit the business models. Instead, their entrepreneurial spirit is focused on building on the successful business model around their innovation, especially to address our daily common challenges and limitations. This forum has never been more significant. ICTs provide the fastest medium for different countries of the world to connect and to access new ideas and information. They have the power to help us reduce the barriers and enable businesses and human interaction from anywhere and everywhere. Ladies and gentlemen, there is one blight on the history of ITU telecoms world. This global event cannot be truly global until it comes to Africa. Following discussions with the Secretary-General on this issue, I held a number of high-level discussions in South Africa and I have a great honor to convey to you our willingness as a country to host the ITU telecoms world 2018. We do so not because of South Africa, but because it is now the time for this event to be held in Africa. Now is the time Africa is on the move. Most of our countries prioritize ICTs as a key driver of socio-economic development. And many are backing up this with forward-thinking policies and programs and investment projects in infrastructure, innovation and skills development. Yes, there are many interesting and exciting innovations taking place in Africa. We believe that hosting the telecoms world in Africa will open up a wide range of possibilities for investment, trade and partnership between African countries and the global ICT community. We'd love to have an honor to welcome you to the world of Africa in the warm, beautiful, culture-rich and rising metropolitan digital hub of Durban at Itegui in Iwazulunata in South Africa. Our message to this forum is to say, come to Africa, invest, develop partnership, find new solutions, share your ideas and enjoy the potential we have as a continent. If we work together, I can promise you an interesting and exciting journey ahead. Together we'll be inspiring new ways ahead. Our vast continent remains full of untapped potential and hidden treasures. Africa remains number one investing destination. For South Africa, ICT innovation and technology change is at the heart of our economic development strategy. As we continue to advocate and support the African Union Agenda 2063 calling for Africa's advancement through industrialization and innovation. We are open to business. We are open to do business with you. Together we want to start investment partnership with you now. I hope that as part of our outcomes of the ITU telecoms world would be partnership to advance innovation and development in Africa. I thank you.


Alright, I think we're live. Hold on. This is awkward. Tell me if it's live. Eric, did it work? Oh man, I got fingerprints on this. Welcome to vlog Thursday episode. Is it 94? Yes, 94. 94. Alright. Audio works. Hello. I got a hi from David. First from David. Hello first. Hi from London. Hi from London. Do we like London? Hi from Corey. London and France. Anyways, we are live today and I'm wondering around the office with my cell phone because I can't stay here very long. I have no idea how long it's gonna last from leaving here till it breaks. But I'm actually gonna try and leave here on this. Okay. That would be it. Yeah, I wonder if that'll work. Are you on the Wi-Fi now? I'm on the Wi-Fi now. I think it'll fail over to 4G. I think it'll fail over to 4G. We have failover support with phones. Think about that. We got some beef jerky here. But does your business have failover support? The business needs from hi from Seattle. Awesome. What is this stuff called? What is the Nitro Methane Ask Kicker? This is the Nitro Methane Ask Kicker beef jerky because we can't just have normal hot or extra hot beef jerky. We got to have Nitro Methane Ask Kicker. Have an arrow. Have an arrow powder. Have an arrow powder. Lots of have an arrow. Lots of have an arrow powder. I haven't done a hot sauce video in a while. We definitely have one coming because we just actually did. If you follow me on other social media places like Facebook, we just posted a Facebook video and we ate some hot challenges with friends. Those videos, I don't know how they fit into my channel all the time so I'm always trying to figure out how to post them on there. What am I doing a secure SSH video soon? I did mention before we have Jay who's done a great video on SSH. Jay has Learn Linux TV. I did a co-opt video with him. He's done a great tutorial on SSH. I'll do some other best practice stuff over here. Eric's because I can't see messages. Eric is over here and hopefully going to answer messages or people if I can. I'm trying to read them all but if I miss them, he'll learn back to me. We've been just way busier than usual. We've got Steve fixing, I don't know, what are you fixing? Alright, beef jerky. Beef jerky and computers over here. We've had just, you know, we don't even advertise the retail store at all anymore and we actually pretty much 2018 has not been advertising your retail store. It's been non-stop for us. Just absolutely, you just people keep coming in. Oh look, and another custom gaming computer is coming in. I'm not going to put customers on live streams. So I'm going to wander around back over here. So let me walk back over here, securing private keys to be a great video. I will be talking about that because apparently that's reactivate my Windows 10. Delete it, install Linux. Is that the best way to activate Windows 10? For you, yes. For me, yes, okay. For the average user, maybe not. That is a problem. So this is Kyle's area and he's also enjoying beef jerky. One of our clients is next to the beef jerky. I just fell off the phone. I've been dying for beef jerky. He's been dying for beef jerky. He's been on support calls all day. So he's been dying for the beef jerky. What we have going on too, and over here, kind of bouncing around before I have to leave to go to another event. I have been doing so many events and speaking engagements. It's been really a uh, yeah. Linux 4k, a high DPI such probably. We have another pile. This is just another job going in, another unified job. And these are all one, two, three, four, 48 port switches that are going in. This job is a new building, which is great. As soon as you buy me tickets, I fly to Tokyo. I seen someone ask when I'm coming out there. The good news is this other job, I may actually be able to film what we do there because it's a brand new building. And with a brand new building means there's no employees and privacy concerns.  Here, that video is so fresh. The switch is still warm. We just reassembled it and it's right here. Here's the camera. If you, if you ever look at the other side of my studio, I'm gonna do a studio tour soon. But back to, I'm gonna be able to film at this location because an example is gonna be Corey just finished another job at a bank. You know what you can't do at a bank is bring a camera and wander around showing the equipment he's hooking up at a bank. And this is the problem with a lot of clients between medical and everything else that they do. It's just not always feasible for me to film everything everywhere. As much as I want to, I know you love the videos being on site. I would love to strap a camera to my head, but the privacy concerns alone would just, it eats us up a little bit. I'm hooking up a 10G to the Q NAP switch. Oh, looking at 10G or the Q NAP. I have not directly reviewed the Q NAP. But man, I really like this Unify having been testing with it and having used it to clients just it's a it's a great setup. So I did look the Q NAP switch, at least one I seen briefly don't know technical details. I noticed it was sharing ports. And I thought, well, I kind of like dedicated ports like they have on the Unify. Secondly, because the Unify is already a platform we're using, it integrates well into all the other switching fabric we have here at our office. And when we set these up a client, so all the VLANs and everything else, even though it's 10 gig, they just work like magic. So there's not any real thought that has to go into provisioning and planning. It just matches our network. And once again, once you scale out with switches and start having more and more of around your office, having one central platform to manage those switches makes your life a little bit easier. Computer see me like 30 second delay probably is a 30 second delay doesn't surprise me at all. Definitely an issue. Hey, while I'm here, you want to see the other side of the studio. So we usually stare at this side. This is the view you guys usually have a blog Thursday. This is what we look at. We look at the orange wall. So and there's our studio camera. Let's see. Yeah, I'm trying to respond right away when I'm streaming from a phone. It is not easy. Because the messages disappear very quickly is what do I think about the end of life on a square ubiquity AP? It's old. I mean, I the company supports these things for a long time. Let me point something real quick. Above my head here is a five year old access point that still gets updates. Thank you, Unify for supporting a product for five years. That's actually quite a while. So yeah, that's definitely a great thing there. Just set up DNS over TLS native PFSense support without needing to so editing checks boxes, cloud fairs so you can go update that video. Yes, there's a couple things that need to be updated since the new PFSense. So for sure. Hey, awesome. Love it. And thank you very much for the Yeah. Thank you very much because I do love helping all the community. There's some bigger projects. There's some bigger projects that we're going to be talking about sharing me and some friends are building a hacker space details to come. But we have an idea. And that's all we have is ideas and a building in a house and and a hacker space in Detroit where it might be working on. So there's hopefully some stuff coming in or we just don't have anything to share right now. But I do if you've heard me mention it DC 313 is a project we're doing here local. And we're going to be doing more and more talks about how we're going to be help community and only stuff is completely video. We have some ideas to provide wireless to areas of Detroit that don't really have it. So there's all kinds of fun stuff we're going to be doing. So that's definitely hacker hacker space stuff near and dear to my heart comes directly related this channel. I love sharing knowledge and helping people out. So hey, Willie's here. And yes, definitely great to use your family had to turn my phone off there. Quick tour of the studio. So this is our camera that we film most of log. There's a Canon mark to see 100 cinema camera up here at camera geek with XLR inputs and fanciness.  So you notice the cameras over here, but all the cables plug into the wall because we wall fished all the cables. So they actually come back out over here to the TV and everything else. So kind of an idea is the studio is pretty clean. I'm going to do a detailed, detailed studio thing here. Sorry, sorry if the voice got loud. Unfortunately, I didn't mute my phone before this started. That was my bad. Let me see if there's so customers in here.  So as they leave, I want to go sit down. I don't want to wander around and give you guys like dizziness. So Steve's the guy we want to talk to you. Because Steve's exhausted because corporate idiots, is that what we wanted to call today?   The first way I know you're an IT guy.  I work in corporate. Therefore I must be smart. No, no, no, no, no. I enabled the printer on port 9100. I can't see it when I do trace route. Yes. Well, that's ICMP. That's not TCP 9100, like I told you. Yes, the guy kept trying to trace route to port 9100, not tell that like he told them. Now, what was this guy's title at the company? I don't remember. It was something very, very technical, a long title. And we looked him up in LinkedIn. We're like, How does this guy have this title? He has no idea what he's doing. He couldn't fix understand VPNs. And we've been pulling our hair out with this company. So this involvement is because of a partnership that one of our transportation clients have with one of their providers that broker freight to them. It's a disaster.  I mean, I don't I've dealt with end users who are less painful. And I understand end users not knowing but these guys all have titles. Well, they got a guy in Seattle and he's like, Well, let me get the other guy in on the call. I'm like, I'd rather you not. I'm less than thrilled with him right now. Yeah. So he told the client. I'm not responsive. I pulled the phone logs said, Here's the time. Here's all the times he tried to reach out to me all one phone call. And there's my call back two hours later because I was out of the office. For those of you that don't know, we have free PBX, we run our own free PBX system, we have all the logs. So if you called me, I know I have a listing. If I called you, we know we have a listing.  He was petty. He has my thumbs up for being petty when we get called out. And our clients like, Look, we know you guys respond. Yeah, she said that today. Like, I she goes, I read that. And she's like, I know they were lying. We know they're lying right away. You guys respond like, and anyone who knows us, I reply to reply to clients like it's this is not a problem for us. So yeah, always keep your logs and not be afraid to screenshot. I mean, it seems like this seems petty, but it's definitely getting emailed. I'm like, Oh, yeah, I know we responded. I see we see see them every reply. The general reply time is what about seven days from their company? No, 30, sometimes longer. Yeah. Oh, even the client acknowledges when they ask something. It's 30 days. Yeah. So it's it's one of those things like yeah, it is just a could I make a free pbx setup? I have a video on free pbx setup is on my channel. I walk you through from start to finish on it. Me and Chris from crosstalk, they go here done. Steve's got to go back. So one of the reasons we're here late is because we work in out of state and Steve's got some California work to go do now. And more beef jerky. And we have print here. One black leopard.  Nitromethane.  Is this is this like a vlog? Yeah, we got 139 people. Hey there, everybody. How's it going? Yeah, see, hold on. Thanks for your videos discovered a week when searching for pf sense videos. Poor poor number. Awesome. I'm glad I was able to help you out with that. Yeah, me and Brett are gonna go hang out at a business event next. Yes, we are. That's why I'm wandering around on a phone. And me and Brett are gonna be doing we've done a few business videos. If you look at my business playlist, you'll see me and him and some other stuff that we've talked about on all this. So hold on. What's that? So random question. More interested in reaching out to noob or enthusiasts with your tutorials or anything else on your channel. I just like sharing knowledge and my my it's very broad. So I have some basic windows stuff that I done videos on. I've have a bunch of start to finish pf sense firewall tutorials that will not appeal to people who are probably running windows. And then this guy doesn't know what a firewall is for. We got an idea. I know what a firewall is. I actually called you about one today. Yeah, he did. Actually, I got him to plug things in over the phone. But we cover business video topics. So I cover just topics that I'm passionate about. I don't necessarily I have a tech enthusiast audience than a business enthusiast. So it's just all the different things that I do. I'm just sharing all my passions. So I'm sharing where my passions are. You won't find videos about cars on here because I'm not really passionate about cars. Motorcycles maybe maybe motorcycles. People have asked I do. I do have a lot of motorcycles and I think in my last blog I was drinking and I wandered around in my motorcycles in my garage. So there's nothing wrong with the motorcycles. You know, no, no, no, no. Yeah. So most of this channel is more focused on sharing my business knowledge and technology is kind of my bigger focus on here. One, I want to be able to make you a better technician and I want to be able to make you have a lot of reviews of technology because there's a lot of gaps and why should I just take my time to take something apart and learn how it works? Why not share it with everybody else? So that's a lot of the driving force for that. Brett, if you want to die. Can you read that for me? This is the. Okay. So, so, so. We shared this already. It's nitro. So for all my, my, my professional friends out there, I'm looking at, I'm reading, just reading it.  So Brett's gonna see if he can handle on that right there. Holy cow. I don't know. I'm gonna cut a piece. I'm gonna cut a piece here and I don't know if I'm gonna try to handle the whole thing. The knives would be your scissors. The scissors are right here. All right. We use scissors to cut them. Alright.  Oh, let's see. I think in generally speaking, sharing knowledge is just importing customers in here. No. Alright, yeah, left. I'm loud again. That's why Steve's loud again. Anyways, just generally speaking, my passion isn't sharing a lot of the stuff. I guess like I started to say before Brett grab the beach jerky is if I take the time to learn something, I like to share it with others. And I found some big gaps in a lot of enterprise or even mid level and homelab people. And I'm reviewing that like you just can't always find good information. So I was like, well, I put it all together. If there's a market gap, why not fill it? There's definitely a demand for it. As I proved by them, we've got almost 40,000 people on here. So yeah, that's, you know, really been an exciting thing to do. And here's the thing. I have people argue about this.  And I'm like, you really don't understand what I'm doing. And this this is an example. I had a guy, a friend of mine, and he learned from my videos, XT PNG. And he's like, wow, this is really neat. And by the way, his day job is working in corporate it for a big company, very big company with offices or place within only a few months of him playing with it. He is now migrated. So it started it in his homelab that he does that he homelab where he builds out and test things. It is now expanded to him replacing all these servers at a very high level with XT PNG. I just met with another client who's also looking at it. And it's because of my videos, he's been playing with it as homelab, and he's responsible for 17 very large locations and a couple of data centers.  Once again, they're going, Hey, you know, we kind of like this whole XT PNG. So what I do scales, that's part of the part, part of the thing I want to make sure everyone knows what I'm doing is not just for I want to be able to support people who are just learning and getting starting out.  This is the greatest product ever. We have the best idea ever. And that doesn't help. But it's I've run the same problem myself. I have my reviews of SolarWinds or not because SolarWinds gives me anything I pay for the service and tell you how it works. Because the sales job for every one of the RMM tools I've ever done told me his was the best. Well, he can't all be right. So some testing needs to be done and some honesty needs to be done. I'll be doing pretty soon a rack review. This is getting rewired this weekend. So when you go back here in the back office, let's see whoops IPTV not a lot. And the other related to this, the other thing that's important to me is that I want to see more and more people getting into technology. We need more people in tech. Just that's there's enough too many people think they're scared of it. I'm like, I've got so many good stories of people that even when they were 30 years old, they're not talking like young, we're talking like they were already into one career and did a complete career change based on tech. They go, man, I discovered I was really good at it. One of my friends who is went from a psychology degree to a Python programmer in a matter of a couple of years to leading entire team of Python programmers and traveling and doing all this stuff. And she's like, this is amazing. I never knew I was good at it. I picked it up and go, wow, look at this. So it's really interesting. I think there's a lot of opportunity there. But we installed let's encrypt servers. Let's see. We've been adding more and more stickers to the pile here. We're going to be doing a tour suit of what's inside this. Yes, a sushi sticker. There's all the way down all the way down to the bottom here with all of them. And then the big J-Bot of stuff here. Lots of things, lots of stickers. Stickers are important. So yes, I'll be putting my rack. We're going to be re-railing this rack, too. And this rack is going to get railed and we got more stuff going in here. So I don't do anything with alienware. Sorry. Yeah, it does look like a fridge. This is actually, if anyone wants to know where this came from, this whole rack was in a phone system. And this company came out with an IP phone system back in like the early 2098. Like the earliest days of it.  Their name used to be up here under the plastic. And I peeled it off. But we got this rack for like 50 bucks because they had oodles of them. The company had a great idea but couldn't, it was so early in the game they were ahead of the curve for building these. So these were custom built frames with an entire data center they built out here in Michigan to build out a new IP phone company. But they didn't have a real solid plan. And of course IP phones 18 years ago, people were like, huh, what's and the whole company tanked and all their gear went up for nothing.  Now the thing that I will only briefly show you because it's a little embarrassing is back here. We need to do a little bit of wiring cleanup. We've shifted a lot of servers in this weekend. We're tearing this down and rebuilding it all because, well, I care about the wiring. I'm not a person who says, hey, it works. We're done. No, we take the time to redo them, re clean them up. And actually something we're going to do we didn't do before is we're going to color code it all the wiring when we do it to make sure it's even cleaner than it is now because we didn't color code it the first time. And so now we will, you know, make it a little bit nicer. I think that's all I have back here. But I'll be covering a video because there's also like the way we have the cable chases. This is the umbilical cord as we call it. This is a service loop for the cable, which we didn't put it in the umbilical cord. And this is the umbilical cord because this has wheels and this allows the rack to move. And that way the umbilical cord can slide around. And we keep everything in the split tubing because the advantage of putting it on the split tubing is you don't see any wires, but it's easy to, let me just split it a little bit here. It's easy enough to see what's in the split tubing. So it's one of those keeping it really, really clean when we do it. We'll do a whole video on that part of it. So we'll, we'll get all that for you. So awesome. Well, I think we're going to wrap this up here. Brett's making some faces. I think he's dying a little inside. I think the whole thing almost. Isn't that good? It's really good. It's really hot, but it's really good. Oh, uh, for reasons that I don't know, Cory has decorated his area with Rick and Morty. So this is Cory's area, if you ever wonder. This is where he works. Cory only needs, Cory's the only guy here that doesn't have triple monitors. He's a dual monitor kind of guy because Cory does, Cory manages all the physical contract work. So Cory is the guy who does the wiring, the cave and the stuff like that. Also, we're going to be reviewing Cory's box of tricks. I have a whole series of videos I plan on doing for doing tool reviews.  We got an entire big part of that. So yes, I am going to be doing a video on installing Zen Orchestra and a fun fact where we're going to do me and Jay because Jay converted from Proxmox to Zen Orchestra and he's going to tell you why. And he's not someone who kind of lightly did this. Like he's rebuilding all of these networks with it. He's got some reason that I don't know exactly, but he definitely will be doing that. So I don't need help with video editing. Video editing is easy. It's a video shooting his problem. That's my biggest changes or biggest trouble is getting all the videos shot. Editing, I do really quick. I do them quick because I edit it myself, but it's just a it's a timing thing. I have been absolutely swamped. I have a few large scale projects I'm working on. Some of them, well a couple of them are under NDA. So I can't really do this, but they've been sucking up a lot of my time. And because I'm the one who produces the videos that slows down the video production process. The other people are the workers that things done. But the drones, my drones are here. My drones are doing things like building firewalls and things like that. I asked you to look at those. I didn't look at those. I told you if you get them installed, I can do it remotely. So, but I can look at them tomorrow morning. So these are things that Tom didn't do because he was doing other things. But I just, Steve messes me the details, slacked me the details, and I will make sure or if they're in the wiki. Where they belong in the wiki? They're where they belong in the wiki. The only thing that has not been figured is the static address for the top one yet. Because what clearly it'll stop working here. Yeah. All right. You just need to talk to each other? Yeah, I just confirmed I did the VPN setup on that. The failover's done. I did that. Okay. Confirm that I did the VPN right on the top one and the bottom one will talk to it. Got it. I've never done the point to point without the dual static addresses. Got it. What this is right here is another project that's going out. What we do is we'll pair these and we're going to mail them to the clients, pre-configured, and because we're mailing them to have them plug them in, we won't have any technical people on site because it's that we're their outside IT and they're in Chicago, we're in Detroit. So when we mail everything we tell, we have labels on it for them to plug it in, including the failovers. So before we mail something out, we make sure we double check everything. We have a two-person policy of, you know, before you mail it, you should check those settings, Tom. I'm going to delegate to this guy to check it. It works. Okay. No, not that, this. Oh, I don't, okay. It's one USB's work. He's, whatever. Yes, tools in the van video, that's what that's related to. We've been pulling all the tools out of the van and Cory's been with the van so much doing work and so have I. There's not been really time to do tools in the van video, but we plan to do it. It's really harder to do. What custom PC case is that? I don't know. Cyber power PC. Oh, that's, yeah, it is an iBuyPower. Or whatever, yeah. That one's CyberPower. This one's iBuyPower. This one's a CyberPower. This one's an iBuyPower. Just brought in today. So, just came in today. And these are all, these are all customer stuff. That's why we flip these up so we can't see what's on it. Sorry, you can't have my customer names. I mean, it's a privacy thing. I see, I will tell you Cusper that doesn't, you know, whether you can know their name, I don't care, but I don't release private details of any Cusper. We, we care a lot about that. Anyways, I'm going to conclude vlog Thursday here. It's been wonderful. I went 26 minutes. Me and him, he's got his jacket on. He didn't die from eating the stuff. So, I'm going to conclude this here. Is it different to the world around the van? Are you indifferent? We're all indifferent now. I'm drinking a lot of water right now. That's what I'm doing. We need beer. I lost my water bottle. We got, we're going to an event because networking and beer go together. Kyle, say goodbye to everyone. Bye, everyone. All right, cool. And Kyle did a great job today. He programmed all the UniFi stuff for us today. So, whoo-hoo. All right, awesome. More videos coming. I am, trust me, working as hard as they can. At some point, I just need to hire another, I need to hire probably one more person and I'll be able to do more videos as much as, but I like doing the work.  Thanks to you. Thank you for everyone. Awesome. Yeah, check Daniels and networking. That's a different video. All right, thanks.
