When I found out that the right Honorable William Earl of Dartmouth was appointed to the Secretary of the State for the Colonies, I felt a sense of refuget pride. I felt a plethora of emotions. He was a known friend of abolition. I felt it was actually possible to be released from tyranny. I felt thankful. And I felt that the world will soon be in a much better place with someone like the right Honorable William Earl of Dartmouth in place to bring a voice to democracy. I was compelled to write a poem dedicated to him to the right Honorable William Earl of Dartmouth by Phyllis Wheatley. Hail happy day when smiling like the morn fair freedom rolls to England to adorn. The northern climb beneath her genial ray. Dartmouth congratulates thy blissful sway. He laked with hope her race no longer mourns. Each soul expands, each grateful bosom burns, While in thine hand with pleasure we behold The silken rains and freedom's charms unfold. Long lost to realms beneath the northern skies, She shines supreme while hated faction dies. Soon as appeared the goddess long desired. Sick at the view she languished and expired. Thus from the splendors of the morning light The owl in sadness seeks the caves of night. No more America in mournful strain of wrongs And grievance unredressed complain. No longer shall thou dread the iron chain Which wanton tyranny with lawless hand had made, And with it meant enslaved the land. Should you, my lord, while you peruse my song, Wonderful whence my love of freedom sprung, Whence flow these wishes from the common good, By feeling hearts alone best understood. I, young in life, by seeming cruel fate, Was snatched from Africa's fancied happy seat. What pangs excruciating must molest, What sorrows laboured in my parents' breast, Steal was that soul, and by no misery moved That from a father seized his bay beloved. Such, such my case, And can I then but pray others may never feel tyrannic sway. For favours pass, great sir, our thanks are due, And thee we ask thy favours to renew, Since in thy power, as in thy will before, To soothe the griefs, which thou didst once deplore, May heavenly grace, the sacred sanction, Give to all thy works, and thou for ever live Not only on the wings of fleet and fame, Though praise immortal crowns the patriot's name, But to conduct to heaven's refulgent feign, May fiery curses sweep thy ethereal plain, And bear thee upwards to thy blest abode, Where like the prophet thou shalt find thy God. A year after I wrote this poem, I had the honour to meet the right honourable William Earl of Dartmouth. I travelled to London with the Wheatley's son, Nathaniel. Nathaniel was there to take care of the family business. I went along to personally take my poems to be bound and published by the Countess of Huntington. The Countess of Huntington was a good friend of the Wheatley's minister, Revan Whitefield. Mrs. Wheatley got to know the Countess through Revan Whitefield. After Revan Whitefield died, the Countess and Mrs. Wheatley corresponded often. While in London, our itinerary was filled with social engagements every day. This particular night, everyone attended a ball. The list read like the who's who of the royalty world. Each of the royalties and dignitaries were introduced, and when they introduced the right honourable William Earl of Dartmouth, it read, The right honourable William Earl of Dartmouth, abolitionists and patron. Later on, he asked me to dance, and when we chatted afterwards, I felt like a princess at the ball that night. When I was talking to some of the guests, I overheard Nathaniel Wheatley and several others talking. The question was posed to him, Phyllis is so brilliant, gifted and such a talented writer and is about to publish a book of poetry. Why on earth is she still your servant? I did not quite hear the answer, but I knew most of the royalties at the ball were a part of a network of abolitionists and belonged to philanthropic societies. Everyone danced the night away. I was given several gifts by the dignitaries. The right honourable William Earl of Dartmouth gave me five guineas. After we sailed back to America, I was granted my freedom. I pray that my brothers and sisters still in bonds will all soon know the blessing of liberty in this land. These past few years have seen many grumblings and mumblings by the free folks in this town. They complain about taxation without representation, about a king in a distant land having absolute control over them, about a parliament making laws that they haven't the right to make because the Americans have no compact with parliament. Just the crown. My name is Felix. I am what you call a slave, a man owned by another man. I live, I work, I go to meetings on Sundays and holy days and I want to know where is the passion for liberty for a man like me? Contrary to what you may have heard, some of us enslaved folks can read too. I do. And in the greatest book, The Good and Holy Bible, there is nothing I can see that justifies my condition. As long as great folks like James Otis, Dr. Joseph Warren, John Hancock and Samuel Adams are going to make speeches for liberty for Americans, I will add my voice to the petition for independence, for my independence as an American. I wrote this letter and I am sending it to the governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Hutchinson, to the Honorable His Majesty's Council and to the Honorable House of Representatives in General Court assembled at Boston the sixth day of January 1773. The humble petition of many slaves living in the town of Boston and other towns in the province is this, namely that your excellency and honors and the honorable, the representatives will be pleased to take their unhappy state and condition under your wise and just consideration. We desire to bless God, who loves mankind, who sent his son to die for their salvation and who is no respecter of persons, that he hath lately put it into the hearts of multitudes on both sides of the water to bear our burdens, some of whom are men of great note and influence who have pleaded our calls with arguments which we hope will have their weight with this honorable court. We presume not to dictate to your excellency and honors, being willing to rest our calls on your humanity and justice, yet would beg leave to say a word or two on the subject. Although some Negroes are vicious, who doubtless may be punished and restrained by the same laws which are enforced against other of the king's subjects. There are many others of a quite different character and who have made free would soon be able as well as willing to bear a part in the public charges. Many of them of good natural parts are discreet, sober, honest and industrious and may it not be said of many that they are virtuous and religious, although their condition is in itself so unfriendly to religion and every moral virtue except patience. How many of that number have there been and now are in this province who have had every day of their lives embittered with this most intolerable reflection that let their behavior be what it will.  No, not even life itself, but in a manner as the beasts that perish. We have no property, we have no wives, no children, we have no city, no country, but we have a father in heaven and we are determined as far as his grace shall enable us and as far as our degraded contemptuous life will admit to keep all his commandments, especially will we be obedient to our masters. So long as God and his sovereign providence shall suffer us to the holding and bondage, it will be impudent, if not presumptuous in us, to suggest to your excellency and honors any law or laws proper to be made in relation to our unhappy state, which, although our greatest unhappiness is not our fault. And this gives us great encouragement to pray and hope for such relief as is consistent with your wisdom, justice and goodness. We think ourselves very happy that we may thus address the great and general court of this province, which great and good court is to us the best judge under God of what is wise, just and good. We humbly beg leave to add but this one thing more. We pray for such relief only, which by no possibility can ever be productive of the least wronger injury to our masters, but to us will be his life from the dead, signed Felix. The Lord said to Pharaoh through Moses, Let my people go that they may worship me. Well, I ask the Massachusetts legislature only that, but what God asks for his faithful.


So what is the schedule of a medical resident in this episode of the TMJ show? Guys, I'm going to walk you step by step through my schedule hour per hour. Let's get into it. All right, guys, what is going on? Luxury for the journey helping you succeed on your medical journey with less stress. If you're new to the channel, quick welcome. My name is Lux. I'm an internal medicine resident. I've been making videos now podcast episodes for individuals just like you to help you succeed on your medical journey with less stress. So if you enjoy the concepts and message of the channel, then definitely encourage you to go ahead and subscribe to us on YouTube or in podcast wherever you're listening. But today I want to continue the raw format of the TMJ show where basically I am answering the questions that you guys are sending me through email, through YouTube comments and just putting them in the form of a YouTube video or podcast episode. So again, if you have pressing questions, you feel like I can answer them, then go ahead and drop them in the comment section or send me an email at themdjourney.com at gmail.com. But today we are going to be talking a little bit more selfishly about me and basically what my schedule as a resident looks like. So as we get into my schedule, it really breaks down to two different styles. One is an inpatient schedule and one is going to be an outpatient schedule. Inpatient is kind of like a hospital rotation for me since I'm internal medicine that includes things like ICU, normal general wards. We've just admitted patients with typical diseases, things like pneumonia, heart failure and then there's things that are more advanced. So cardiology ICU, medical ICU. So those are inpatient rotations and then outpatient rotations are a good way to think about them is just like clinics. So your general primary care clinics and then specialty clinics.  So the schedule really varies depending on which one I'm doing.  Now this is going to be similar for a lot of residents, but obviously if you're doing more time intensive specialties like surgery, your hours are probably going to start earlier and you're unfortunately going to end earlier. That's just how it is. But let's get into inpatient schedule. Now obviously this is going to vary from residency to residency and specialty to specialty. So the surgeons that are going to have much worse hours and come earlier than I do and likely stay longer. That's just kind of the nature of the beast and there are going to be other specialties that will have later hours. They're going to be leaving earlier. So let's start with the inpatient rotations. I'm going to walk you through in two phases. One is going to be the morning and the one is going to be the afternoon. Now the morning is going to start anywhere from 530 to 630 depending on the day. Sometimes depending on the rotation, your specific team is in charge of admitting new patients that get presented to the emergency room or are sick or in the hospital that require your care and for those days, you may have to come a little bit earlier because you would take care of the old patients you already had on your list and then be ready to be responsible for new ones. But on other days, while other teams are on call, you may be able to come in later because then all the patients that you have to worry about are the ones who have already been on your list. So again, 530 to 630 depending on the day and now anywhere from 530, I would say to about eight or nine is where you get to see your old patients, make sure you look at their vitals, their labs, document everything that's happened to them, come up with a plan, what you want to change and then you're going to meet with usually you're supervising attending and talk to them about each and every single patient. So if you're a medical student, you know this is called rounds and this is basically where you get to present the progress overnight and give an H&P and things of that sort. So then from 9 to 12 is typically where you're going to be rounding on all your old patients that attending who's going to be looking over all the patients is going to give their recommendations on what medications, what treatments or imaging, etc. I need to be done on each patient and then basically after that from 12 to 1, take a lunch break if you have time and then from 1 to whenever the day ends is going to be the afternoon session is where you're going to basically be spending majority of your time basically carrying out all those recommendations that were given to you at the start of the day. That means, you know, getting in touch with specialists. If you have a patient with heart disease and you're not really sure how to manage it or if you have somebody with an interesting infection, maybe you want to call the infectious disease doctor to help you out. Those are going to be doctors that you get in touch with in the afternoon, get their recommendations, apply them to your patient and then if you have any sicker patients that you need to monitor that have kind of taken a course for the worst, then you can go ahead and monitor them and make sure they're stabilized before you go home. Now going home really depends on the rotation the day again, but typically I would say on a general internal medicine rotation you would go home or out 3, 4, or 5. Again, sometimes you can have lighter days or make a home a little bit earlier, but I would say that's the average and then on your call days where you're admitting patients till later or on a more intensive rotation like ICU, you may not be going home until later maybe like 7 or 8 because you have to make sure that all the new patients are tucked in, all your histories and physical notes are in, that takes some time. Now let's get into the outpatient schedule, which honestly in terms of hours is much nicer. Usually start a little bit later, usually finish a little bit earlier and it really just depends on the style and if you choose to do this in the future. This is a good example of where I can easily wake up, have an extra hour to my day and then still find some time to record a YouTube and TMT show episode for you guys. But typically an outpatient schedule will start I would say about 8 to 9 is when clinic starts. You'll go all the way to about 12 or when you're finished seeing your last patient for the morning and then typically you'll have a lunch break from 12 to 1. You'll come back from 1 to about 5 or 4 and see the rest of your afternoon patients and then finish writing your notes and then you're good for the day. So yesterday for example had a full day of clinic which I came in at about 8 o'clock, saw patients all the way to 12, had a lunch break and then about 1 to 4, 4.30 is when I saw my evening of patients and then I spent about an extra 30 minutes to finish all my notes about 5 o'clock and I spent an extra 10, 15 minutes just kind of wrapping up things and looking up patients for future dates, that way I wouldn't have to do it the day before. Now those are basically my inpatient and outpatient schedules and a lot of questions that I get is how often do you get off in residency? Do you feel like you have enough days off? Now the answer may vary depending on who you ask and what rotation you ask them on but typically my schedule works out to where I get every 4 to 5th weekend off like where I have a golden weekend, 2 days in a row protected where I can make a trip outside, go see family and things of that sort. But typically within every rotation I have about every 4 to 6 days off. So about 1 day, 1 to 2 days average per week off and it may work out certain rotations where I'm working several days in a row and then finally get a day off and I'm kind of burnt out. But 4 to 6 days I would say is pretty average and so that gives me enough time to basically get some more sleep as well as work on other projects that I'm interested in. Now a little bit of a personal note on days that I'm on an outpatient schedule or where I don't have to get in until like 6, 30 or 7 or 8 like today then it gives me a little bit of more leeway to wake up still on my early hours like 4, 30, 5, 30 and still get an extra time to do some reading, work on some medical projects or work on projects for the MD journey like this podcast episode. So that just goes to show you that you can still enjoy your priorities, your hobbies, the things that are important to you and fit them into a busy residency schedule. You just have to find those open hours and sometimes it may just be an open hour and fit in your priority whether or not maybe working out or spending time with a loved one, it's totally possible. And lastly we have to talk about sleep. You know, how much sleep do I get? What time do I go to bed? Now in terms of what time I sleep, I go to bed around 10 or 11. I was as pretty average. Sometimes I knock out much quicker after a busy ICU day, for example.  In terms of hours of sleep, I would sleep anywhere from about 10 to about 5, 30 or 5 o'clock. So that gives me on average about 6 hours per day and some days I may increase that to kind of compensate for days where I haven't been able to sleep as much. Now I personally prefer to get maybe 30 minutes less of sleep to be able to kind of get a jump start my day, do a little bit of productive tasks before I head to work. But I know a lot of you guys may enjoy that extra 30 minutes or that hour and all power to you. That guys is basically my schedule as an intern, my first year of residency. It is busy, but again, it gives you still enough flexibility to focus on other elements of your life. So if you guys have more questions of what residency is like, I'm going to go ahead and link down below a playlist on YouTube that I have basically of what residency is like, what my schedules are like, as well as different vlogs that I've recorded during my residency. So definitely check those out. If you are listening to this on a podcast form, definitely go ahead and subscribe to the TMJ show. Leave a review to be considered for a weekly giveaway for a free e-book or a course. And also drop your comments down below on YouTube to be considered for future Q and A sessions that I do on the TMJ show. But thank you guys so much for listening or watching and hopefully I've been a little help to you on your journey. I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace.


Computers keep changing the world, but their power and safety is limited by their rigid design. The T2TILE project works for bigger and safer computing using living systems principles. Follow our progress here on T Tuesday Updates. This is the 45th T Tuesday Update. Let's get into it. Last time we were back from the ALIFE conference in the UK, talked about people instead of official nerd stuff. That was a strange thing, but it actually did pretty well. Talk about that briefly. Since then, I've been back to working on the T2TILE actually running events. Well, it's been running events, but actually running events that have effects between one tile and another. And that involves two steps. One is to get locks from one tile requesting the other tiles nearby to say, please don't do anything to this area of the grid because I'm having an event there and I'm relying on the current contents of what you have there so that I can decide what to do next. I'll tell you what changes I made and then I'll release the locks and you can go ahead. So it needs the locking step one. We've been working on that a few weeks before we went to the UK. And there's also the cache updates, which is the part in the middle there when we're holding the locks and saying, okay, here's what I did. I changed this. I changed this. I changed this. There's also an adaptive robustness feature in the cache update protocol. I haven't talked about before where even the parts of the event window, the 41 sites that may be affected, even ones that haven't been affected every so often, the cache update protocol will just randomly send one of the ones along, even though the receiver shouldn't need it. The receiver should already have that information, but they flag it as the fact that the receiver should see it and ends up becoming a check. And if it turns out that there was an error, that the receiver who was told that it should be this in site 50, site 35, whatever it is, and it turns out they had something else in there, they'll send back a request saying we have an inconsistency and then the sender will automatically note that and will start sending complete event windows adaptively until everything starts checking out again and then it'll automatically drain back towards efficiency. So that's one of the aspects of the cache update protocol that we get about being willing to have some round trip protocols rather than sort of a fire and forget approach to telling the neighbors what has happened. So we're getting closer to having cache updates move from one tile to the next. We're not quite there. I'll tell you where we're at. So, okay, so last week's video is number one of the last 10 videos. That's the way the new YouTube analytics wants to show it to us by number of views. Now, of course, you know, in T2 land, that means like 180 views. But, you know, that's more typically at about a week out. I'm lucky to have 150 views. And so we're 20% over the what used to be a normal high. Well, or what was a normal high over the last 10 episodes or so. So new folks, if you're here or put it this way, if you're back, welcome. And so that's what we've got here. I really have serious questions about the new. So here it is. So when you go to the new analytics for YouTube creators, this is on your dashboard. You can't avoid this. It tells you about, well, at least if you release videos regularly, it tells you this, ranking by views, number one out of 10, number one out of the last 10 videos, 180 views, which is up 43% compared to something. Although the average watch time, the average view duration is only seven and change. And the total watch time is also down.   Now, it's always the case where there's people that just watch like the first 10 seconds and go, whoops, either number one, this is not what I wanted or number two. I didn't even want to be here at all. I just sort of fell on the keyboard and the things started playing so they bail out. So there's a huge drop off at the beginning. But there's also this trade off that if social networking actually manages to work, if the click through rate gets up to 7% to 10%, whatever it is, which is great for a T Tuesday update video, that usually means that it's bringing in some folks that are not actually that interested. So in a way, I feel okay about this. I feel like it's supposed to be that way. And so it's good. So I should probably talk about people more, but then I have to do stuff. Well, we'll see what happens when coming up. Anyway, that's in the propaganda division. Also, we now, thanks to Andrew Walpole, he and I got together and said, why don't we just do this? There's all of these terrible things. There's robust.cs. There's the Gitter. There's the GitHub things that are all over the place. We had a discussion that was like, you know, and everybody's been talking about this, you know, that we really need a place to pull it all together. So we said, let's just do it. So I went out and I bought teachutile.org and teachutile.com. They're pointing at the same place. And Andrew got this, you know, whole thing set up over this past week. And it's really nice. He's got this great logo. I really, I really like this logo and even the rectangle aspect ratio matches the rectangle aspect ratio of the grids that are going to run on these tiles. And at the moment, it's really minimal. There's links to the T Tuesday Update YouTube channel where we are here. There's links to the GitHub for the super nerds. There's links to the chat room to get to Gitter. We need more text. I want a vision section to go in there.   You know, imagine a world where computers are constantly healing, repairing themselves. Imagine a world where computers, your computer gets to know you. Not because of passwords, but because of shared history, because of experience, because of working together to accomplish things. That is the world that the T2 tile project is doing the lowest level of research to build a computational stack that could actually do that in a robust way, rather than just sort of Hollywood false front set a world 100 miles wide and one pixel deep, which is what we have with traditional computing focusing on efficiency. So we have a place to pull it together. It's all wired up into GitHub so that just committing to master releases to the thing live. It's great. Andrew also set up a dev branch that has a different URL. I'll put it in the thing that we have more stuff that is sort of not ready for master yet. And it's got all this automatic stuff.  And after it was happy, then bam, it was on master. It's really great. Okay, so that's the propaganda division. We need more content there. And of course we need a lot of written content. We need kind of a lot of written content for me, but I'm really conflicted between trying to write code and trying to write English. I want to make intertile events happen. So mostly this week, despite my best intents, I didn't write much text. I wrote code. All right. So that's the propaganda division in, oh, yes, in the 3D division. Even though, so haven't printed anything. Well, hardly anything. I printed some, some just little feet to stand up my little grid that I work with here. But the 3D printer was turned off for a couple of weeks solid while we were traveling. And I get back and I find this some kind of good. Some kind of goo corrosion glue loosening up something getting under the film, the PEI on the print bed. There's another angle on it. It's all around the thing. The thing was turned off. What the heck? I don't know what to say about it. I've just discovered it yesterday when I did go to do these feet. The print area in the middle seems to print fine.  Not that it is. So one thing after another. Of course, this is my own thinking, right? That, you know, I have a new 3D printer still in the box. But it's a build it yourself. And I'm still afraid of it. I haven't done it. I haven't broken the box open yet. So maybe this is a little hint that going to have to budget some time for that. We'll wait until we get to the next sort of actual 3D printing go, which, you know, will probably be in a week or two. When we get back to doing facing the feet and how we're going to attach a power zone, a grid of four by four tiles to something that'll make it more rigid and make it hang together so that we can slap around groups of 16 tiles as a unit. That's coming up. So that's the 3D printing issue. The software division, that's the main thing I want to talk about. Of course, I've already blown half the time. So we'll see how long we've got here. Locks are actually really solid now. And that's great. And I've had just a spike working that was trying to do it. Now, actually, the FFMT2 is actually when it thinks it's trying to ask if intertile locks are necessary, which as far as the simulated version of the tile is concerned, no locks are ever necessary because it's only got one tile being simulated. And all of the locks that it would think were necessary would actually be simulated inside it as well. So there's only one. So as far as it knows, it never needs the locks, but now it's actually calling out to T2 code, which is actually grabbing locks between them at the rate that events are happening and so forth. And that's all working great. So the question is, can we move on to actual cache updates to actually get packets moving inside it? This picture, sorry for the glare, is a hack that I'm using because I kind of want to get the key master. That's the guy with the white case connected in all six directions so that I don't have to worry about when I have an event on an edge that's unconnected and deal with the edge cases, the literal edge cases too soon. But the problem is I also want to make sure I can get an ethernet cable in which has to go in through the west edge because that's the only place to access it. So this is my solution. I've chained two ribbon cables together. So the west side of the key master goes all the way over and joins up to the east side of this guy. Why this guy? Because he's the nearest guy that isn't already touching. I could plug into this guy up here, for example. He's got an east guy that's closer to it. That guy is already talking. He's already the northeast of the key master. So the goal is to have six different tiles. And this actually has it. And in fact, this is an example where I was just pushing out a new version of MFM using the Common Data Manager. And now it's actually saying west, northeast, northwest, northeast, east, southwest, southeast. It's actually pushing in six directions at once. And you can see it. There it is. So the big blue arrows means lots outbound. The smaller yellow arrows means less inbound and in each direction. So 2000 curly 10 means it's sent 2000 bytes in 10 packets. And the reason it's curly is because this is reporting statistics on the bulk rate, the curly out and the curly in. The right curly is output. The left curly is input of bulk rate, the stuff that we use to Common Data Manager use. And it's going in all six directions at once, you know. And it's good to remind myself every so often the progress that we have made because I'm always focused on the next bug. The next bug, it's not working. It's not working like that. So this stuff actually feeling pretty solid at the moment. So, all right. But how do we get cash packets done? We have to say, okay, we've grabbed the locks to the neighbors. Now we've done a thing. We've made some changes. We've made drag. Who knows? We did something. We need to tell the neighbor what has happened. All right. This is some stuff from the notes file. So it's time to go to England. That was two weeks ago plus. And then we're back. Boom. That's how files work. And so, you know, we've now got all of the hardware locks being handled by the Linux kernel module, which now has an interface to the software. And the way that we were doing it was we had this fake event thing, which was just a function, the temporary function I put in. That was trying to grab locks in reasonable ways. We've now gone beyond that and actually are getting the actually needed locks for the events that are actually happening in principle. So then the question is, is how do we do this? And this is something I've been going back and forth around and around on for weeks. That, you know, the MFMS simulator has this whole complex structure of there's a grid that contains tiles. Each tiles contain an event window plus six cash processors that connect into other tiles. And each of those cash processors has channels and so forth. And, you know, where am I supposed to come in? And I've been finding it incredibly difficult. This is part of why it's taken so long to get to cash packets actually traveling is that every time I try to say, OK, let's do it the MFMS way. I get into it and I find some mismatch. Like, for example, the cash processors expect to be dealing point to point with the neighboring tile, whereas everything, in fact, all the packets go through a single Linux kernel module and it's better to deal with them as a lumped abstraction rather than as six different individual ones and so forth. So I keep ending up going, screwing myself up and instead just building spikes, little test code, using what I have climbing up into slight more complexity. And that's what fake event does. It's just putting in a top on it to make it go. All right. So I worked on it over the last week and fake events started becoming slightly less fake and eventually I kind of figured out, you know, what I could do is I'll make sort of a delegate that represents the hardware, the T2 tile hardware and the delegate will be a class that has methods in it and the existing code wherever it seems I have to cut out and do something different from the T2. Instead of doing it directly, I'll call the delegate, let the delegate do it, and then MFMS can have a delegate that just calls back and does the original stuff, whereas the T2 delegates do something new. And that's what we actually managed to do. It took forever to, but we got to the point where we're actually going to take a cache update packet and send it to a neighboring tile. Now it turns out, because like I said, this whole hierarchy of stuff that already exists in MFMS, that each packet ends up being this tiny little thing, which was a real question because, you know, way back when, when I was first getting bytes moving through the proves, the inner tile communications and I was doing loopback tests to see what kind of speed I could get it in, the speed in terms of bytes per second was helped by having big packets. Having little packets was really slow. But the way things are set up, they're sipping little packets, which is like one atom. These things are like six bytes to get started or 10 bytes. When to get a good bandwidth to get good total information moving between the tiles, it was better to have 100, 150 byte packets. But I didn't, I left it as it was because the goal is just to get it working. And in addition, I've started to think, you know, again, I keep saying this, it's not about bandwidth. It's about latency. How quick can you get that first packet from one tile to the next? And by doing these tiny little packets, they're all pipeline that it could actually be the case that the neighboring tile is working on the earlier parts of a cache update while the later while the sending tile is still sending them. If we bashed them up into one big bulk, one big packet containing many little updates, then it would be a higher bandwidth. But the remote tile would have to wait until the entire packet arrived. So here's an example of, you know, we have this ship buffer as packet. This is when we've gotten the next little atom or whatever it is all the way forwarded down into a packet buffer. And the goal is just to move it from one tile to the next. Now we've replaced the direct call ship buffer as packet MFMS. That's the original version. But now we have our delegate, ITC delegate that we call a method on and let it deal with it. One of the things I ran into was that we already have these flash traffic, the stuff that allows you to say, you know, grid reset, grid shutdown. That's going as these flash traffic packets that were defined by these drive ops a couple of weeks ago. And it turns out once I went and looked to see what was going on, they were kind of inconsistent. The numbering was wrong that according to the document, you know, the special MFM packets are supposed to have a one in the first bit. And the MFM guys are supposed to have a zero there, but the driver ops were in the wrong place. So the driver ops were cancel op was at zero one, two, three, four, five and so on. So I went back and I renamed all of these guys and programming an awful lot of programming renaming things. It really is. I used to think that that was a waste of time. But now I think that's actually the meat and potatoes of what programming is. God's task to Adam is to name the fish in the sea and everything like that. Give everything name. That's what programming is to it's giving things proper names. And then once you evolve what the thing is doing, you figure out the names really aren't quite right. You're really not allowed to leave them the old things. They always remember that said really means clear. No, you can't. So renamed them. So we did it and we actually got to sending a packet and. We actually got to sending a cash update packet. Now it's just one out of it's not a complete cash updates. That takes a bunch of packets and so forth, but we actually did it. We actually sent a cash update packet for the first time just a few hours ago, really. So, you know, I was really crushing because I wanted to have it all working today. That's not all working, but we sent the first packet and and you can see it. So here's a picture. It's not the greatest picture, but if you look, we just zoom in here. So here west we've got 62. That's a curly bracket. That's bulk traffic. Curly curly bulk traffic in and out, but the angle bracket. That's MFM priority traffic. Six bytes outbound on northeast six bytes outbound on east in one packet each. The six bytes I happen to know is the begin packet where the guy is saying this is a begin packet and here is where the event is centered a little 16 bit six four byte coordinate of where in the coordinate space the event center is because all the cash updates that come afterwards won't say it. So there it is. And if we look over here, where is it? There it is. The guide of the west recognized it. So progress, progress. I'm glad you're here. The next update will be out in a week. Have a good week.

Many of you who have been following the ups and downs of the Dhani story since the Hindenburg report hit the headlines, might have come across the term short selling for the first time in your lives. If you want to know what short selling is, watch this video, it will take just 5 minutes of your time. First, let's quickly understand what the buying and selling of shares is all about. Companies go to the stock markets to sell shares to the general public and raise money from them. Anyone investing in a company's shares is technically part owner of that company. For instance, if a company has issued 10 lakh shares and you own a thousand of them, then you effectively own 0.1% of the company. Of course, that's not enough for you to have any say in the way the company is run or what it produces, but by owning 0.1% of the stock, you're theoretically entitled to 0.1% of the company's profit. Now, the reason why people invest in a company's stock is because they're betting on the business. They're hoping that the company will grow, its products will sell in newer markets and its sales will increase and this will help it make profits and build new assets which will increase its net worth and as that happens, the stock price will also rise to reflect the company's growing valuation. So if a company's total worth is 1 crore rupees and it has issued 10 lakh shares, then each share is worth 10 rupees. Let's assume that the company's earnings grow at 10.5% per year, then in 7 years, its valuation will double to 2 crores and each share will also double in value to 20 rupees. So, a normal transaction in the stock market bets on the share price of a company going up. This is called going long in stock market parlance. Going short or short selling is the exact opposite. A short seller is someone who bets that a company's shares or even the entire market itself will go down instead of rising, but you will ask how is that even possible to do that. I mean, if you buy a stock and its price goes down, you're going to lose money, right? Why would anyone go short or to ask the same question differently? How can you make money when the stock price drops? You can if you sell first and buy later. Now that sounds impossible, right? How can you sell a stock before you buy it? You can if you borrow the shares from someone else who already owns it. Typically, this will be a broker who has access to shares held by their clients. Now imagine the scenario. Let's think of a hypothetical cotton supplying company and call it Ajanta cotton. In this hypothetical world, each share of Ajanta cotton is selling for 100 rupees in the market. Now you live in a cotton crop growing area and you get early information that there's going to be a bumper cotton crop this year which means cotton prices are likely to crash. So, you anticipate that Ajanta cotton will have problems. Its profits would drop sharply. It might even make losses. Your bet is that this earnings crisis will drive the share price of Ajanta cotton down in the immediate future. So you go to your broker and say, I would like to borrow 1000 shares of Ajanta cotton from you and I will return them in one month from now. Your broker says, alright but I will charge you interest for this one month. 1000 shares at 100 rupees each is 1 lakh rupees. Interest on that for a month will be let's say 1000 rupees. You agree and take the shares and immediately sell them in the market and get that 1 lakh rupees from the market. Now you wait for the share price to fall. In 25 days your prediction comes true and the share price of Ajanta cotton drops from 100 to 80 rupees. You now buy back the 1000 shares from the market. All you paid now is 80,000 or 80,000 rupees. Now remember you made 1 lakh rupees when you sold the shares you had borrowed 25 days ago. 1 lakh minus 80,000 is 20,000 rupees. So you made a profit of 20,000 rupees by betting on the share price going down. Of course you have to pay the 1000 rupees as interest to your broker when you return the 1000 shares. So net of the interest paid you still make 19,000 rupees on a falling stock. This is what is known as shorting a stock or short selling. This is exactly what Hindenburg has bet on that the Adani companies are over bloated. That the market value is much more than they should be and they will fall sooner or later. And till now the Hindenburg attack has succeeded. It has wiped out more than half of the market capitalization of the Adani conglomerate and pushed Gautam Adani far down in the global rich list. The short seller is winning right now but we'll have to wait and see how long that lasts. That's the show today. Press the like button and comment on this video.

In this video we're going to get right into the information and what I think could be one of the next Amazon stops now I'm not saying it's going to be a successful, but it's certainly going to have exponential explosive growth that could lead to potential Huge gains on the stock market. We'll look into this though We'll look into the information the evidence to research of this company and again There is a bit of speculation on this so we've got to preface that with that fact I've also got to say I'm not a financial advisor. I'm a business teacher in my daily life, but I'm by no means an expert on the stock market Okay So let's get right into the information just to respect your time And if you like this direct approach of just getting right into it and do the video like it at some point So let's go right into it So first of all, it's Turcopedia. Okay, which is a SPAC merger rumour at the minute It's a speculation. Okay, and Turcopedia might be set to go public through a SPAC Which is a special acquisition company and let's have a look more into this. So merger rumour here So Indian Indonesian e-commerce company platform Turcopedia There's confirmed that is working towards an initial public offering So they have the intention to you know go public and what the saying is is that There's a statement that comes out after merger rumours with Blank check company Bridgetown Holdings LTD ticker symbol BTWN Emerged earlier this week the spokesperson added that a special papers acquisition company like Bridgetown Bridgetown is a potential option That we could consider Okay, according to Bluebeck a transaction value of Turcopedia as high as 10 billion USD Okay So there is rumours going around that BT BTWN One of the potential SPAC mergers with Turcopedia Okay, and that's what is it's a speculation player But I said think that this has got a lot of potential to run up as a company or even on these speculations and rumours Okay, but let's just look into the company because they are saying that they are going to go public now It may not be with BTWN or it could be But if it's not them it will be someone because they have plans and intentions to go public So let's get ahead of the game here. I think what what is the information about Turcopedia? Okay, so first of all what I want to mention is is the massive Explosive amount of people that are absolutely Buying and using this this particular app and also look at the reviews 3.6 million reviews and almost all It's almost overall five stars at about four and a half stars nearly five stars So this company is well liked, you know, it's well respected in terms of when people use it They're happy with the service they get and I think that was just an important side note to mention before we get into some of the You know fundamental information So first of all, it's an Indonesian technology company with a mission to democratize commerce through technology. It's in 98 percent districts in Indonesia 100 million monthly active users Okay, so that is a lot of potential profit profitability 9.9 million merchants An 80.86.5 percent merchants and new entrepreneurs It's created two point nine nine million jobs 22% sales increase here 90% sellers now enjoy digital transactions and 21% Price cheaper so in terms of actually getting certain products that you made it cheaper for people Which is a good unique selling proposition in the fact that it's offering cheaper prices okay the impact so What was good to mention here? I think that with this company being so big already and so massive It's really important that they maintain the reputation and they're seen as some company that is potentially ethical And and that's what they seem to be trying to do by looking at their website here So they've got CSR a section here Which CSR stands for corporate social responsibility, which is essentially what ethical aspects are they getting involved with Here so we use technology to unlock opportunities to the local community to make their lives better the impact we made is why we come back to work every day and and Ultimately, essentially they're trying to offer that corporate social responsibility trying to be ethical trying to offer people opportunities And at a glance you can see some of the information here So it's an Indian Indian easier and technology company Stat it was actually founded in 2009 and it's been a force that pioneers digital transformation in the country Our vision is to build a super ecosystem where everyone can start and discover anything So you got my marketplace and digital goods. Okay, they've got shipping and Integrated systems with the shipping as well much like Amazon FinTech payments so you can actually has a digital wallet and you can pay digitally and Okay, and they've got an app as well so 100 million active users over five hundred thousand payment points of a four hundred million products listed Okay, so they've got a lot of them about wide variety of products that people can buy on this platform as well Which is 98% of districts in Indonesia. So this is Amazon level of growth here that they're doing just on a smaller scale Potentially, but this stock has got a lot of potential to grow So some of the benefits of it when I'm looked into this stop So first of all, it's the reputation. So they are addressing CSI corporate social responsibility And they are massive in their industry. They've got a huge market share already as a company So they've got a strong reputation in terms of people know about them as well They've got huge active user there user base. So users that are coming back every month to buy more goods Okay, they've got a loyal customer base, which is important because they're maintaining those customers And they're buying over and over again, which improves the profitability And then that leads on to this point about there is massive revenue growth The e-commerce industry is a growing industry. So so with that fact Variety they've got a lot of products that the selling on the platform Which means that there's a wide variety of options for customers to buy which is good to see in an e-commerce platform Market share they've got a massive market share already Okay, and it's also a growing industry as I say e-commerce digital payments This sort of area is a continuously growing industry At the minute it sat at $16 and 20 cent Okay, and after hours is actually up to $16 80 And this is BTWM that it might be merging with but it might not it likes a speculation. There's rumors going round But upon the rumors you can see the stock going up and up just upon these rumors. I think it's got its potential to run up past $20 Okay, so again, this might dip slightly And you can get it in on a dip and get a cheaper price But overall I think that this has got very much a lot of potential to run up to $20 very very soon You're not a financial advisor do your own research and due diligence So I just wanted to get through the information in a direct and straightforward approach and getting right into it So if you appreciated that please leave the video like and I've also got to say Thank you for all the support. We've been growing massively. So to all the new subscribers. We've had exponential growth on the channel We've been getting like 50 hundred subscribers a day at sometimes and which is a ridiculous amount of growth Okay, so thank you for everybody you subscribed and thanks for helping the channel grow Okay, and I will speak to everybody in the next video which I will do later


Hi, I'm Paul Stevens, Chief Engineer for Blackstone Amplification and today we're going to be looking at some of the exciting features on HT Venue Mark III. If not known previously, HT stands for high tension, which is just another way of saying high voltage. We use that just to basically differentiate these products from other products which aren't high voltage, hence they run valves. The design philosophy of HT Venue has always been to provide really versatile products and we've basically taken that philosophy and taken it to the next level with more modern features and more versatility throughout the range. In addition to this, we've also upgraded the cosmetics throughout the range as well with a smarter, more modern look. We used Mark II HT Venue as the benchmark and then decided we want to add in some of the developments that we've been working on with other products since Mark II was released. We've done numerous improvements to other products as far as tightening up the sound, fine-tuning certain parts of the EQ and adding in modern features as well. One of the major features on Mark III cannot be seen directly from the front, it's on the rear panel, but this is the addition of cab rig technology. This is something we've introduced into several other products over the last few years and it's the easiest way to get great recorded tones out of your valve amp and also for live use as well. In addition to cab rig technology, we've also improved the actual electronics that drives these outputs. This is the headphone output, which has now been increased in level, and also the XLR DI output, which has been given a proper professional type balanced output. As well as improving the outputs of cab rig, we've also improved the analog to digital conversion which takes the signal from the analog world into the DSP. This is also helped with lower noise and just general better signal integrity. These amplifiers also now feature a USB-C output, enabling you to record four channels simultaneously. All of the HT Venue Mark III range feature switchable power reduction to go from full power down to approximately 10% power. This is a circuit that actually controls the internal voltages within the power amplifier rather than adding an attenuation after the actual power amplifier. So this means that you're literally turning the amplifier from, for example, 100 watt amplifier into a 10 watt amplifier. And it enables the connection between the actual valves and the speaker via the output transformer to not be messed with because it's really important that our valve amp actually drives the speakers in a particular way to get a particular sound. Adding an attenuation between these actually flattens out the sound which is another popular way of doing it but it just doesn't really sound the same. So this is a much more natural way of doing it to get a really overdriven power amp sound at a lower volume. All these products feature a series effects loop with a switchable level to enable rack use or pedal use. The send is driven from a low impedance source which means it keeps your effects loop nice and quiet. Other improvements to the DSP sections is the way that reverb is used. We have different reverb on the clean channel compared to the overdrive channels and using the architect software that you can connect the amplifiers to you can adjust the tower lengths of the reverbs and assign them differently for overdrive and clean channels and then save them within the amplifier itself. I'm just going to talk about the clean channel specifically on these amplifiers and it's got some quite unique features. There's two voices on all of these clean channels. The first is a high headroom American sounding clean channel very bright but with a strong bottom end. The second voice is more of a mid-60s British sounding channel so it crunches up well and has a looser bottom end and when you switch from one voice to another it isn't just some subtle EQ that is going on the whole of the actual tone stack is being shifted from earlier on in the signal chain which it does on the more American sound which means that it actually attenuates your signal and also prevents much overdrive and then when you switch to the voice 2 then it shifts the whole of the tone stack further on in the signal path so it's after the valves which allows the valves to overdrive a bit more and it also shapes then the tone of the overdrive more which is a completely different way of processing the signal just within the actual clean channel itself. In addition to that there are changes going on in the power amp as well as through the negative feedback to more closely simulate the tones we're trying to achieve. The overdrive channels on these amplifiers is based on the generic black star topology where we use cascaded ECC83 gain stages to produce all of the overdrive. It also features the ISF control on all channels of overdrive to have more control over the shape of your mid-range. Each of the overdrive channels also has two voice options obviously the voice 1 is a slightly less overdrive sound and voice 2 is slightly more overdrive but also again there are changes going on in the power amp with the negative feedback on each of those sounds as well so one is a tighter overdrive and the other one is a bit more of a looser bottom end. As mentioned all the overdrive channels feature our patented ISF circuitry which stands for Infinite Shape Feature. This is a special control which works within the mid-range of the tone stack and it basically shifts the sound from a more American sounding tone stack to a more British sounding tone stack with a continuously variable control enabling you to get any sound from one extreme to another. It's really helpful for dialing in the particular sound that you want your mid-range to be which obviously is really important within a mix for both recording and for live use and gives the basically the player a bit much bigger tonal palette to work with. All of these channels and voices are all very well but obviously you need to control them live so all the models come with a two-way foot switch to enable you to switch between the basic channels and most of the voices. However, using the FS14 enables you to switch between all of the channels all of the voices, the reverb and also the extra boost which works on all channels and all voices. This gives you a preset 6 dB boost which is really useful for solos. Due to the inherent safety systems built into amplifiers whereby they can be run on standby without being connected to an external load then any of these amplifiers can be used in a silent stage situation or for silent recording just by using them in standby and taking outputs from the cabrig outputs either the XLR or the headphone output. Other subtle design changes which aren't always noticeable when you're actually playing but are quite nice features to keep everything nice and clean is we've improved the switching noise on all of these products so it's as minimal as possible. During development of other products between Mark II and Mark III we've found certain circuits needed more upgraded components for more consistency so we've applied all of these changes throughout Mark III as well certain capacitors for example have been upgraded and you'll find that the consistency of tone will be far higher on these amplifiers depending on where you're playing what temperature, humidity, all sorts of variables so they'll be much more consistent. General design philosophy at Blackstar is to overwrite our components where needed to enable the products to withstand excessive use and excessive temperatures for example being played all weekend at a festival in a hot country like Mexico with raised mains, unpredictable mains situations and still be able to work throughout. Another electronic feature that's often reserved only for high end valve amplifiers is the use of DC heaters. We've used DC heaters for all of the pre-out valves throughout this range to keep all the noise levels down especially on overdrive channels. Speaking of valves, within the pre-amp on this range they are exclusively ECC83s which other people will know as 12AX7 and this particular range will come standard with EL34s in the output stage however the output stage on all models has been designed to enable the use of 6L6s if that is the user preference with merely a small change in the bias setting. All the speakers throughout the range are 12 inch Celestians.


A baby chamele's Again echoing what we heard earlier today and just tell me gentlemen if I'm blocking a baby's view from the camera perspective But you know you were just bemoaning the fact that the evidence linking aid and employment is almost nil And in fact you said you tried to look for it on Google and what happened Well The hits I try to find if you just connect official development assistance and employment is zero Zero hits. Okay, so that means there's masses out there. Nonetheless. You have been combing through a Number of reports. Could you tell us exactly what you've been doing and and under very difficult? Circumstances I might add the African Development Bank is based in Tunis and Tunis has had its own share of Civil unrest over the past couple of months. So well done for having gotten it together But tell us a little bit about the study and what its aims were. Yeah, thanks Hilary Let me take one minute of my time a lot to me first to thank the audience with the distinguished audience to for being here for to listen to our story and then of course to Finn who has been generous enough to Invite adb to this project. So we have been collaborating for quite some time now and actually this idea was initiated by Tony and Finn So what we try to do is as exactly have said the evidence linking aid and employment To my knowledge is very difficult to track even in Martin's presentation. We could see after a going through hundreds of household surveys and then you have aid and to say, okay aid works or not That conclusion will be difficult to attend. So However, what we try to do is also not conventional in that sense. It's just illustrative. It could be controversial So I tried to put this in context. So what we've done is we have gone through adb's Completion reports that what we call them of development projects that we have financed in the last 20 years That's 350 or something over 350 projects. So a lot. So a pen is taking process And then just see whether any story in those documents about employment about jobs So the story we got is interesting in some ways And probably lust rates the link between between the two One we found that at least on the average on the average for the adb financed projects For 1.5 million us a dollar we spent. It was possible to link with about 400 jobs but this is Has a lot of variation within the sectors where we have gone through Okay, so what was the sector where you saw the most direct influence the most jobs coming up? Yes, I mean more or less to the story of Gary's Financing micro credit micro insurance projects We got the highest Employment generating in those sectors So that was the most immediate return the fact of it. Exactly. Okay, and Just to for the benefit of the audience the sectors adb financed were agriculture and allied activities infrastructure education and the holds and of course financing micro credit micro insurance Activities, but also I would like to mention we have also looked at our financing to the private sector Which which started quite recently but has been growing in importance Where also the job creation in those sectors were significant Okay, and I just want to come back to some some of the kinds of numbers we're talking about but before we we get into We've heard about the most successful, which was the finance. Where were the areas the least successful? Well at least I mean because I don't want to draw a Very healthy conclusion on this so the audience also not to be misled But in areas like education and the health it seems we have quite a weak link with employment That's where the least we're able to find now I'm assuming you're not saying do not invest in Education and health is that because it's a longer term to see the return? Yes. I mean the Everybody here knows to be in the labor market to have to be healthy But also to get a good job you have to have skills which you acquire through education basic skills This is these are quite straightforward argument. However in the sense of investing in Catalyzing jobs the education and employment sector is The fruits you get it after after long years The immediate job implication would be like for instance if you build a school or if you build a health station then So it's the same with infrastructure. Basically, you're looking at the same thing with infrastructure But infrastructure is much better. I'm just gonna ask you to I know this is a deadly word for an economist but to speculate, but Do you think it will be possible at some point to do research? Because obviously there are places where you need to build infrastructure where you need to invest in health where there are Issues that have to be addressed Because it's a short-term major problem. But is there any way eventually of being able to measure? what the returns are because I've heard a lot from a Lot of you, you know the the skills issue is is basic I know with illness in just my own work as a journalist and then doing a lot of these conferences You know when you've got a population that's devastated by AIDS It's very difficult for people to go to work So is there any way or is it just pie in the sky to think that eventually you might actually be able to look for The data that will link the benefits of different things be they Development aid or the countries that ultimately getting to the point where they can invest in these things But where you can see a return or is that just an impossibility? Sorry, this is coming out of the yeah No, I think you're right Probably I take even a step back and look at the perception of the audience here Which believes it should be seen more as an investment than anything else But also 97% say They support it So in my view if you see it as an investment there is a return. There is a risk to it As investment I see for instance what's the return is exit from aid Country should just be on their feet and do their own things without relying on others What's the risk is probably it could be more harmful than Being useful. Yeah, so within this bounds what we are trying to do in this exercise is to illustrate if you scale up for instance some of the adb type of projects at those countries we covered and then Replicate it all over Africa and look at the amount of total aid Odds that has flown into the economy of Africa then what is the order of magnitude of employment you might expect and About 10 million jobs every year would be expected. So the reason we don't find the evidence is because of the data like lack of data lack of monitoring and proper tracking But what we are saying is that the evidence is out there Okay, well, I want to come back to you one thing on that because you mentioned exit strategy and Exit strategy for aid is I think something that is very much on Many donors minds because they don't want it to become just continuous and eb. I know this is something you've mentioned So yeah, I Think it's important That we get out of this notion that aid is here for the next 50 years And and therefore we have another face when this face is over not to say that every time that we start We didn't expect to be out again five years from from from now or seven years from now but I think we should put into the Work in preparing that what results would be achievable within five years if We were to exit if you understand I think we need to because we're not going to be there forever So we need to put that into the equation Okay coming back because I didn't mean to rain on your parade there a baby But you're basically saying and I realized that this is our hypothesis now The big picture was that if you looked at everything and rolled it out you would have seen how many jobs being created Yeah, close to ten million jobs every year. That's quite a quite a big number now I'm just going to take a couple of questions, but first of all Stefan Isaacson. I'm just going to ask you Stefan is with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sweden. Okay Stefan Anderson This whole concept of exit strategies Investments, I know that we've discussed it. So I just wanted to bring you into the conversation early No, I think that's a very good point And I think that I mean in the long term We are not in a position to see that development is sustainable over time and hence the question to Martin before that Where do we actually put our money to be catalytic and actually make the difference today to exit perhaps not tomorrow But in the short term, we need to see where we can be adding the extra bucks to make the difference I mean, we've been talking a lot now about about Microfinancing Taking the risk out of some investments and of course these are things we could do easily in Denmark and Sweden Both could provide guarantees for instance It's that the way we should go and withdraw ODA. Is that what you're saying or and then sort of stay only with financing research Okay, and maybe this is necessarily a question you need to answer I'm throwing it into a general conversation. However, I'm Anders Nash and I'm going to take three. So I've got Anders pool Book Hansen and Peter Dam. So in that order first of all Anders Nash Can you hear me now? Good Where are you way about me?  Absolutely. And don't forget the clock on me either Because I will go on A lot of interesting points today. Thanks very much and a lot of discussions about Employment that's been created. Sorry if I deviate slightly but my questions relate to direct and indirect employment and Also to the formal and informal sectors now We have the ambassador from Bolivia here and it mentioned the project in Bolivia I was fortunate enough to work on the impact. I know from that I'm going to give you the mic as soon as we start hearing from them But if you have a question for a baby right now, and it's directly related to that.  There's a lot of informal jobs created in some of these economies we mentioned and also direct employment you mentioned through some of the Projects you're working on vis-a-vis indirect employment A baby Thanks Give him a clock, please. Yeah, very quickly the employment We have document today's directing indirect, but I want to really Remind us that These projects were never intended to create jobs anyway The primary objectives depending on the sectors of intervention were for something else like for instance If it is building a dam the whole engineering concept goes into that, but then We picked how much employment has been created as a result of that. So there was no really intentional Discrimination between formal informal jobs, etc. This is just an illustrative exercise If there is any evidence out there to link between jobs and aid then tracks the projects and then get some illustration and some ideas about What's the money spent has has managed to create opportunities? Okay, cool big Hansen and please pronounce your name if I've massacred it Okay, thank you very much. I just want to ask you a question related to value chains With something a concept we are talking about part a lot these days in relation to The job creation and they are different value types of value chains domestic value chains international value chains Different sectors different products. So my question is does your material give you data to go into the question of which? Value chains are most productive in creating Employments depending on which context Thank you. Oh, this is a difficult one. Maybe the audience also can join me anyway notice a very interesting question because this is as you said one of the Topics of interest these days even in the bank in the agriculture sector. There is now money going Into enhancing what we call the value chain agro industry processing, etc So, I mean within within that perspective What I can share with you now is we have a few private sector financed projects that have Exactly this kind of concept and create quite a lot of jobs, especially agro processing industries Okay, and the next one and last one for now is Peter dam right Hello, my question is regarding education if I understood correctly then education didn't show a Very good return of investment, and I'm wondering if this I mean it depends on the setting and the country region Of course family traditions community a little bit further away from you. I thought okay, sorry I didn't take this where the education Is not they can't utilize it in the setting that they come from and so do they ever do the experience brain-drain do they leave believe that They're homes behind to to use your education or this is sometimes not can they even utilize it in their settings I Would like to you to reference the question what Okay, I think what it was was maybe that and you're talking about people that have completed tertiary education I'm assuming yeah, so those that have completed tertiary education is one of the reasons Perhaps there is not a return in the country because they couldn't find a job that paid well enough or they found a job Elsewhere that paid better so brain drain Did well I don't call it by the by the expression on his face I would say that was probably not the focus of when they were doing the education. So let us assume no for


We are here with TJ Hunt. TJ, always a pleasure hanging out. Thank you, thank you. Standing behind us is your new Supra. Yep. You unveiled this yesterday. Yep. It's perfect. It's flawless. Thank you. People went bonkers over it. Thank you. I know it's a tough question, but what are your favorite things about this car? You know, the favorite thing about this car so far is the fact that we got to reveal the Street Hunter to the world for the first time. I'm humbled and honored to be able to work with the team. I was able to get this done in time. Yeah. By the time this thing got printed from through your printer, we had the kit painted on, mounted in 10 days. So the fact that we were able to have this be our first release, our first showing to the world, the favorite thing is that it's epic. It's everything I wanted to be and I think it represents what we have coming forth in the future. That's awesome. And I know you've been coming to SEMA for a few years. So being here, having cars here, what does SEMA mean to you? SEMA to me, it's kind of like the World Series. Yeah. It's where every brand in the industry is here to flex. They're here to show their best thing of the year that SEMA represents, or they're here to say, hey, here's a teaser of what we're going to do next year. And everyone's right next to each other.  And there's no full people here. So it's very visceral. It's very in your face. And I just love it. It's like the World Series here. That's awesome. So CJ actually has three cars here, one being the BRZ, which we've been working with you all year. And you've seen that. And that's out of their truck with Joseph right, your Ferrari, which is another unveiling. Yes. So let's go take a look at that real quick. Let's go. So three cars in SEMA. Yeah. BRZ, which you've seen. Yep. Two unveilings. The Supra and the Ferrari. Yes. Now, you were hiding a lot about this when you were building it, the kit, the color, especially the color. You talked to us a little bit about that. Yeah. So the color was the one of the hardest choices about this car. I really wanted to find a color that was unique. You know, every Ferrari these days is white, red, or black. So I wanted to get a color that you just don't really see. And I feel like this shade of green is slept on a lot. So the inspiration was British Racing Green. But we actually, this is our own color. We used a couple of different aspects to create this exact color. And it's red. It's like just darkened up in the shade. But when you hit it in that sunlight, it actually brightens up before like a turquoisey color. And the response in the internet has been like through the roof. So I feel like we had a home ride. And I feel a bit about it. And yeah, I'm excited to have a unique color out there that things can get a lot popular in the next couple of years. Well, man, obviously it requires beautiful colors. It's beautiful. We love it. Thank you. Great job on it. Thank you. And thank you for the time. Absolutely. So here we are at our truck. We've got one, two, three, four, five different cars in our truck. I'm here with Jack. Jack Off-Motive. Jack, thanks so much for being here. This is his beautiful Audi R8. Now the first thing when I notice it is delivery. Yeah. It feels like there's a story behind it. So you guys know me as the Forza guy. And what's cool is that I went into the game myself. And I basically designed it all in the livery editor and all that.  And I basically turned that render that I had in Forza into reality all spread out on the car. So this car has been seen on screens now. It's real. Exactly, exactly. It's here. And then another thing that you notice in reality is just the beautiful red paint. It's so hard to capture that on camera. And that's something that's unique about most R8s are silver and white and stuff. And I really wanted that true exotic kind of really bright red flashy car that just makes me like it just makes me so happy to see it every time. Well, being in person, you did an incredible job. Thank you. You nailed it. This is your second year of Seema, right? Yes, indeed. Okay. And the first year with the car here. Yep. We want to thank you so much for being a part of the... Yeah. It's an honor to be here with this. So what does Seema mean to you? Especially your young guy, right? Yeah. What does Seema mean to you? I mean Seema compared to all the other shows is a place where you can basically take your personality and put it out on a car and share it with others. In other shows, they'll be like auto shows. They'll have stock cars or they won't have anything that has very much interesting value to it. But with Seema, it's either a team or a person. They all have completely different modifications. And it's all just kind of art pieces that are all spread out, all differently designed. And you can basically tell what kind of personality that person has based on the car. And I think that's really cool to have a show that displays all of that. Perfectly said, man. Well, again, we just want to appreciate you having this beautiful R8 and making for your time. Yeah, thank you. So I'm here with Victor Marni-Grad. What's going on, man? So good to meet you. You're the builder of this process. Correct. So yeah, I'm the painter slash builder obviously with my team. Yeah. What are some aspects of this thing? Because it looks incredible. One of them is going to be the leather woven seats that Maureen Chao took this up with. That's definitely a one-off, one-type deal. You don't see that very often. It was especially custom made for us. So it's definitely one of the things that I like to highlight on this build. You don't see that a lot. It is very cool looking for sure. Awesome. And another one for sure I'm going to have to go with is the 5.0 Toyota motor under the hood. That's so cool. I mean, when you drive this thing, this thing hauls. It takes off.  It was a great experience driving her. So yeah, it's definitely another one of the things that I wanted to highlight on this build. That's cool. So for you as a builder, as a painter, you kind of do it all. I'm curious, what does SEMA mean to you? Maybe as a builder or just personal? So yeah, no. SEMA, definitely I go back with SEMA. You know, I started attending SEMA in 2004. And so this is definitely something that's just became a tradition for me now that I have to attend it every year. And what better way than attend it with cool builds that you were, you took part of with your team, you know, making sure we're out here representing what we do, what is our passion. You know, it's everyone at the shop definitely is very passionate about what we do. And I hope it just reflects on our work. It definitely does. So really appreciate you taking the time. Yeah, no problem, man. So good to meet you, man. Likewise. You guys into the show. This is Lance Uchida. Lance, thank you so much for having a car in the booth. This thing's insane. Right off the gate, the front end. It just looks mean. Can you tell me a little bit about it? It's a little bit different. So I added a splitter on the front end to create some downforce. I do plan on tracking this vehicle after SEMA, of course, so I don't ruin too much of the paint on the vehicle. Because the paint is beautiful. Thank you. Obviously that deep black that you love, the wires. Absolutely. So Lance, you've been coming to SEMA for years. You've had cars here. Obviously you have a car with us. Uh-huh. What does SEMA mean to you? SEMA is something that I look forward to at the end of the year. The best part about it is I get to meet new vendors. I get to see new products for the year. And I get to see how people reflect their passion through their vehicles. That's awesome. Yeah. Again, I appreciate you having the car in the booth. Of course. Thank you. I'm with World Famous Automotive Designer, John Sabal. John, thanks so much for taking the time. Thank you. Not only is he one of the greatest, he might be the nicest guy here at SEMA. So I'm just, I'm going to put that out there. That's a good job. That's true. Okay, thank you. I'll take it. So you don't have a personal car here, but you have how many cars in the show that you've designed for? So this year we got to design, I think around 16 cars this year. They're kind of like all over the place. So you've had a pretty busy year. Busy year. You know, it's good because you got bills to pay so. Thank you, McGuire. And how many years have you been coming to SEMA?  Right. So my earlier days of SEMA is around like 94, 95, 96. I don't really get to go consistently every year, but since 2012, I think it's been pretty consistent up to now. Okay. So it's 23, 24 years since the very beginning. So it's a good amount of time to see this show evolve. So what I want to ask you is, what does SEMA mean to you?  Whether it be from a wheel design to a full barricade that you know, a one-off or even just simple livery graphics that they want to just reflect their brand. And I appreciate SEMA for putting something together that we can all be at and have such a wide range of variety of cards available just to see from each call it's all different. Yeah, I love SEMA. Well done. I appreciate you taking the time. One of the best. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I'm here with Peter Fitzpatrick.  Yeah, I've known Bruce since I started in Australia for almost 30 years now. Wow. McGuire's been a big part of my car culture in Australia. And yeah, other people have tried to elevate what McGuire's is but you'll have to be used to know what McGuire's is. And to me, it's still the best product you can find.  What's one aspect of this car that's really stuck out to you? Well, the first thing is it was built right-hand drive in 1935 and I believe it's one of 17 built. And being the three-winder suicide dog poop is very rare. They only made like 3,000 of them and this is one of 16. So because it's right-hand drive, everyone says why right-hand drive? It was built right-hand drive and C6 called that transactile running gear up. So it goes? Yeah, it goes quite well. And you've been coming to SEMA for a couple of years so we kind of want to know what does SEMA mean to you? Well, SEMA is probably the pinnacle of the aftermarket industry anywhere in the world and to come to SEMA is an honor to have been in the Battle of the Builders, which was great and even being recognized by the Chevrolet design team came over to the car, which was amazing. So I had the head engineer from design from Chevrolet and the car was amazing. That's pretty awesome. Well, Peter, I appreciate you taking the time. Thanks so much. So we've been filming cars, showing cars and now we're here with Christy, who does that for living and killed it. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course, thank you. Not only do you film cars, but this is your car. This is a beautiful machine. It is. So tell us a little bit about it. 2005 Super Legacy GT Wagon Limited that I used to film out of the back of that now is a full blown race car show car inside and out. Favorite aspect? Favorite aspect of the car is not one in particular one, but if I were to sum up my favorite part about the car is that so many cool companies came together to make it happen from Area 1320 building the motor to DID building the entire interior at Alcantara to serious innovations doing the trunk set up for circling with the headlights. So many people came together to make this one thing happen for me to have it here at SEMA. And that's my favorite thing overall. So many people helping myself to have this. It's just crazy. It's crazy.  Never had a car at SEMA. I've been to SEMA a few years, but I've never had my own car here and to have my own car here is again just mind blowing and it's just it's a whole new experience. It's opened up my eyes to what SEMA is really here for. And that leads me to the next question we've been asking people, what does SEMA mean to you? Realistically, it's just it's another realm to get not only myself and my brand out there, but at the same time to meet more companies. I've been able to now meet like Toyota tires. I've been able to meet all these people I've been working with in person chat with them, meeting everyone from Garrett, shaking hands, kissing babies, all that good stuff just seeing them in person and then they get to come and see the car now because normally cars in New York, those sponsors are all over at SEMA, they're all here together. So they all get to see the car and appreciate what I get to appreciate every day now. We appreciate you taking time to talk with us, step in front of the camera for a little bit. So as promised, we showed you the booth, we showed you the truck, all the cars that we have going on, we interviewed their owners, their designers, their builders. It's been an incredible SEMA 2019. We have one last question. What does SEMA mean to you?


What's the very first book that changed your life? Forever. This is Anne Lamott and a book that changed my life forever was Pippi Longstockings. I was an early reader and found literal salvation in chapter books.  He had floated off somewhere. I don't remember if we know what happened to her mother, but she lived alone next to slightly priggish, sweetest girls whose names I think are Tommy and Annika and she radicalizes them. She gets them to do things that are way scarier than I would ever do. She teaches them to go a little farther beyond their garden than they've ever gone before. She makes them laugh. Sometimes she just picks up her horse and carries them out to the front porch for a little fresh air. And when I read that book I saw there's a place in this world for me, for odd, strange, strong me. And I thank the author every few days. We had this one funky little window seat or what we call the window seat which was kind of a very, very small space jammed up against the window and that was my safety spot. That was if I was there and if you were reading you could get away with it. You know if you were sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out all of life because you'd just been hanging out with like Catholics or some other strange family a grown-up would come along and say, don't you have something to do?  But if you had a book in your hands they'd come by and smile at you. And I remember the cover.  She was always making pancakes and flipping them and some and they got stuck on the ceiling all the time. She was like Ruth Gordon and Harold and Maude, you know and Harold and Maude was a movie that changed my life forever, forever. I had this kinky short nappy whitish blonde hair so I couldn't do the braids and other girls would do the braids for Halloween. They put wire in their braids so of course I was completely bitter and jealous about that. But you know we didn't have enough money ever and so sometimes my socks would kind of not match. They'd be the same color but they wouldn't be from the same pair. One does what one can. We all loved Pippi Longstocking but maybe not quite as much as Anne Lamotte.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Matt Rogers and welcome to the trailer discussion for the 2017 remake of Death Note. Now, to say this Netflix original is controversial is a bit of an understatement. At the time of filming this, the trailer on YouTube had just as many dislikes as it did likes, which I think is saying a lot about the critical reception that this movie has got so far. I don't know, we might be surprised, it may be amazing, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are incredibly doubtful. But anyway, they've dropped a teaser trailer so far, not giving too much away, sort of giving us a taste, but today they dropped the full trailer, which is giving us a closer look at, I guess, the storyline and some of the characters. So let's take a look. In the opening scene here, we see Light witnessing a bullying attack, I suppose, which I guess inspires him to start using the Death Note. Now, next to him we see his girlfriend, which in the original Death Note's name is Misa, but in this they've changed her name to Mia, which I guess is just to Americanize it, which makes sense. She is going to be played by Margaret Quali, and Light's last name has also changed. In the original Death Note, his last name was Yegami, but in the 2017 version, his last name is Turner, again, probably just for the Americanization of the whole thing. And it's probably worth mentioning that Mia, or Misa, is a cheerleader in this one, whereas in the original Death Note anime she was obviously a pop star, so they're obviously making it a more high school thing, making her popular in a high school rather than popular worldwide. We've got Ryuuk's famous Red Apples there before the book drops from the skies. Obviously the first time that Light picks up the Death Note, and obviously reads it and finds out what it actually does. Now here we see our first look at Ryuuk, which everyone was wondering whether he would be live-action, just played by Willem Defoe, which is a great casting choice, by the way. When I was watching the original anime, he actually did sound like Willem Defoe. I thought that before he was even cast, but now that he's casted it, that's probably the only casting choice that is not getting as much of an argument. We'll go more into that later, but as I was saying, the Ryuuk's character, people were wondering whether he would be live-action or whether he would be a CGI character. Now on IMDb, Willem Defoe is credited only for the voice and not actually for the performance, which is interesting because later on we'll see a bit more of a realistic looking, like it could be an actor portraying it, may not even be Willem Defoe, but it does definitely look like a person with CGI effects obviously put onto the face and maybe with the little horns and spikes that he has on his back and his head. There's a closer look at Ryuuk there, as I was saying, CGI looking face as of this point. What people are worried about with this is that they're making it a bit too grounded, a bit too like high school-y, drama-teen, drama-type thing, which is definitely an interesting choice. There's lots of ways to interpret Death Note, but this one is probably not one of the most popular opinions. Like as we can see here, we've got Light talking to Mia, explaining himself saying that, oh, we can make a better world, killing all the criminals. There's a lot more to Death Note than just a teen with a notebook and I feel like they're concentrating a lot on that. The main focus for me, at least, of Death Note was the whole chase between Light and Elle, which we'll talk about Elle a bit more later, but it looks like they're concentrating too much on the teen drama, him trying to be a godside of it rather than all the other stuff that goes on, because Death Note obviously is a very full universe, lots of stuff going on, lots of things to concentrate on instead of just Light and Mia's story. Got some criminals dying there. This is interesting. Obviously, we have a few Kira worshippers, which was from the manga and the anime. If we move forward here, we can see that he's actually reveling in the people worshipping him. It looks like he's watching them from the candlelit glow that we can see on their faces. Mia looks like she's a big part of this. She's obviously encouraging him pretty much every step of the way, which Misa in the anime and the manga, she sort of got into that point just because she loves Light so much, but Mia looks like she's just genuinely enjoying the process here. And here we have a close up of Elle, one of the most controversial parts of this Netflix original. The casting obviously was the main cause of the controversy. LaKeith Stanfield was cast. We've most recently seen him in the movie Get Out, which he was quite good in. He didn't have a major role in that, but that was probably his most recent notable role. I'm very skeptical about his portrayal of Elle. I just think they needed someone to look like Elle at least. People were saying it's because he's black that it's not a racist thing. It's just because usually in movies they cast someone that at least resembles the original character. And obviously they've gone completely different way with this, which may work out. I'm very doubtful of that as I said before, but I'm at least willing to give LaKeith a chance just to see how he goes, but yeah, he sort of has the world against him with this role. I do like this detail as much as everyone hates the casting of Elle. At least he still has the mannerisms.  Now we saw a bit of this Ferris wheel scene in the teaser. We see that Light and Mia seem to have some sort of disaster going on during it, whether that's his own causing or whether someone else gets a death note and causes this to happen. I think it's obviously something to do with the death note, but we have Ryuk looking over the scene here. We have LaKeith walking down a hallway as Elle here. I don't know how I feel about the face mask either. That obviously was never a thing that Elle had, but he was hiding his identity in the anime, but in a completely different way. The face mask was an interesting choice so he can just see his eyes, but again I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not liking it so far. Now as we can see here, another call back to the original. We have Elle eating what seems to be like some sort of multicolored candies, whether they're smarties or M&Ms, just something. At least that's another character trait that they've brought back with this one. It'd be interesting to see if we constantly see him eating desserts throughout the Netflix original, but I doubt we'll be seeing him eating sweets and cakes and all those things he did throughout the anime. I have to mention the cover of Bitter Sweets Symphony throughout this is beautiful. I hope they actually released this officially, whether it's on the soundtrack or not. Typical example of trailers using haunting covers of pop songs, which I am not against at all. It's definitely overdone, but not a bad thing. I love the scary versions of popular songs. It's great. And there we have it ladies and gentlemen, that is Death Note Trailer 1. I guess leading up to August 25th we might see another trailer. Usually Netflix is known for doing at least a few teases before it comes out just to get people in the mood for it. But there we have it. So let me know what you think in the comments.  But let us know what you think. Tell us what you're excited for. I know you may hate it, but what are you looking forward to? Are you looking forward to Death Note being a new pop culture thing that's getting a new generation of fans into this? Or do you just hate the whole thing altogether? I wish they'd just leave it as the manga and the anime. I can understand both points of view, but let us know what you think. But thanks so much for hanging out. If you had a good time, then spank that like button. And if you subscribe during this video, then walk on my board. This is Matt Rogers, signing off.
