Good morning. We'll give folks a few more minutes to come on in. I know that Liz said that she had a conflict for today, so we have moved some pieces off the schedule. The intention was to be able to have a conversation around graduation requirements, but we kind of need Liz and a few more people who are out of the office for that. So that one's going to be postponed. So sorry for anybody wanted to come talk about that. That's not on the agenda today. All right, seeing folks coming on in. We're up to 30 people in here, so giving a little longer. I see Elena. I see Jeff Brewer here. I see Matt Klein. I see Sheng. Just kind of like circling around the room to make sure that I've got the Katie's here as well.  All right, so I will go ahead and get us started here. I'm anticipating a pretty short meeting today. So again, Liz couldn't make it here today, but our normal pre-meeting pieces here. You have made it to this particular meeting, the July 21st meeting. And anticipating kind of a short meeting today, frankly, because the conversation is really being able to look at our sandbox annual reviews that are currently outstanding. And a note about a new CNCF office hour meeting for projects for folks that want to be able to come by and kind of conversation about that. So with that, I will drop in towards here are our current annual reviews. They are currently being tracked on the projects board at this eight link over here. And right now these have been sitting out here for a while and I'd really like to be able to get some eyes on it or have maybe conversation about why maybe things just aren't moving as quickly. Network service mesh kind of needs three to see sponsors we've got cube edge that needs one to be able to push across the line. Telepresence is in the same boat as is brigade open EBS so being able to get eyes on these would be great. And what we really need is for to see people to be able to come and put a, hello, Michelle. Hello. Excellent. A just just a looks good to me on here and this is a chance to be able to close these out because these are kind of the bulk of our annual reviews right now. So, with that, I will leave the floor open for to see members to unmute conversations. Michelle I know that you had some pieces around how we wanted to be able to improve this process moving forward. The sandbox annual review process. Yeah. Yes. Same approach as, as the sandbox process in terms of like, you know, just like follow the form, answer some questions, and then the TOC can kind of go through them in one meeting. Just kind of go down the list so we can go through all the reviews at a particular cadence. And therefore, you know people wouldn't have to wait. So I think we can describe this proposal in the TOC mailing list and I don't think there were any objections so don't so the question is, do we want to go ahead and start that, or do we want to continue doing reviews the way that we have been doing until we go to this new process. So my, my hope is that we can actually implement this fairly soon. The challenge has actually been finding a meeting time to be able to do that and since we had to move the graduation requirements off of that I figured here is a great opportunity to be able to release some of these annual reviews, clear some of this off, and probably start that process in the next month. So if we can get these taken care of, then from there I think we can move towards being able to say, yes, in one of these meetings we just do like a very quick review, and it goes towards either a simple majority, or a two thirds majority. Yeah, that sounds good to me. So, yeah, looking forward to being able to like hey look these are going to be easy and quick to be able to say, yes, we intend for these projects to be able to continue here's ways that we can help support you. And some of them have actually moved on to be able to apply for incubation as well. And those two processes are totally separate. I know there's been some confusion about this. This is really just designed to be able to make sure that we are maintaining the sandbox. Elena, go ahead. Yeah, I had a question of just about that as from the comments to the PR is that there was a confusion from the users of how how it should be done the incubation filing for incubation and filing for the sandbox annual reviews. So those are completely independent processes. And I try to be able to let everybody know these are totally like separate things, applying for incubation is a much higher bar than just the sandbox annual reviews the annual reviews are being able to talk about. What are you done in the last year, what are your goals, what are things going on and how can we help really. And the sandbox annual review can be like a step to the incubation review at least for the reference is a reference. Yeah, other questions on here comments. I have a question. This is Ricardo. So if a project is admitted into incubation and PR for sandbox reviews still open does you just need to close that PR or, I mean, or do they still need to go through that process. Are you talking about the mechanics of being able to actually like the here's here's how things work as far as the annual reviews, like something has to be closed before the incubation can happen or am I missed for hearing. Well, I'm talking about Cube Edge, they're applying for incubation. And right now, the public comment period is going on. And yeah, and this PR is open here for sandbox review annual sandbox review and, and then what happens if after the vote is complete. And this PR is still open. Right. And, and this is for Cube Edge, but they might apply for some other projects too. So I think, you know what I want to know is like whether do they need to close this PR after it gets admitted into incubation or do they still need to do the sandbox process. So, like, because they've already put in their, their PR that the projects work here is complete. The project can move on towards being able to do incubation and all of that. Now it's kind of on us over on like to see and like CNCF staff side to be able to make sure that like that gets like completed as far as like here's your annual review, this is taken care of, and we move on to incubation. Michelle, my hearing. Oh, I mean, you might be speaking correctly here but I just think the process should be if you're applying for incubation, we're already doing like review and due diligence and things like that. So I think the annual review PR is a little bit redundant. And we should close that out. One TOC sponsor will do it, basically. That makes sense. Yeah, no, I mean, and part of what we're saying is like this is a new process here so I did want to be able to highlight in this morning's meeting to be able to walk through here are the things currently outstanding. And it seems like the projects are getting things on time we're just taking a long time to be able to kind of close it out on our end. So, I like the suggestion of being able to use the next TOC meeting to go through these. And our SIG update is the next public meeting. And that is August, as I bring things up August 4. So, yeah, if for whatever reason these don't get closed before that time. I'm perfectly happy to help put that on schedule. That would be awesome. Thank you. What I would love is to be able to have all of them closed before then, but if they're not That's good. The sandbox reviews. This week I should have more time on Thursday and Friday for that. For Brigade like I was part of that project at the very beginning. So I'm just wondering. Yeah, I think we need like a formal conflict of interest thing. Just to, like, there are some different opinions on the TOC about, you know, whether someone on a project should or should not be able to vote. I think we need to like move along the conflict of interest thing just so it's, it's super clear. I'm putting that down on the future agenda items. Here. For projects. Great. Thank you much appreciated. Alright, anything else around sandbox reviews any other questions anything that people have around this. Okay, I will move us on towards a very quick note. We have a new CNC of staff office hours piece as part of the new sandbox process. We would normally have had a meeting like that we would try to schedule with like the sandbox projects coming in and you'd be able to talk to CNC of staff.  So we have a new staff office hours this is not limited to sandbox projects this can be any project to come by and come by and ask questions about like annual reviews incubation graduation like anything else. Also cube con questions also happy to answer those so for Thursday of the month this is now a repeating meeting. So just a note for that and I will see some of you there. That is all I had on the agenda today. Go ahead, Michelle. Now I'm just going to say that it's really cool. I'm glad people are taking advantage of that. I'm hoping we can scale better as far as being able to talk to all of the projects because there are a few of us and there are a lot of you. So, floor is open for other comments questions people wanted to be able to talk about anything else. I'm just watching chat and seeing if anybody on mute. I see a hand you said go ahead. You're still on mute. Maybe I can force on the mute. All right, I'll consider the the hand be a mistake. Anything else people wanted to be able to bring up this morning. Yeah. Yeah. There was just like a bunch of confusion around the annual review process and I was talking to Priyanka, our new ED. And we were just talking about how we kind of need to do a little revamp of the TOC repo. So I feel like maybe we should open up a GitHub issue around that. I think it means a little bit of a higher level. So, I think we should be able to get a little bit of a thought around like how the TOC repo should be structured and where things should go. Because I think we've been trying to like iteratively make things better, but I, I'm getting feedback that people are still confused or can't find certain documents. So Priyanka was willing to maybe have someone prank and Chris were maybe willing to have someone come and look at that maybe like a tech doc writer. What things they're confused about just so we can give a description of what we need to Priyanka and Chris. So I'll just open that issue up and in GitHub. I'm actually pretty certain that a few folks on the line will have opinions. We have Alex here who's been the SIG storage chair, Ricardo and Lee from both SIG. runtime and SIG network respectively pieces that working that aren't working for the repo Alex go ahead. I think it's from my point of view, the, the information is there. It's just distributed in lots of places. I think what it could do it is having a page that kind of tied everything together. So, so kind of along the lines of, you know, if you are going to apply. Here's a link to the application process. Once you have reviewed the application process, here's a link to where you need to apply a PR to. This is where the reviews go, you know, and just and just and just have like an index or or or or how to guide if you wish to actually follow through because I think if you look at the TSE repo, there are documents for just about everything. It's just, it's not obvious which ones to follow in which order. That that's my personal view. Right, definitely 100% agree with your approach here. We also talked about maybe putting that kind of workflow and all the forms on the CNCF website. I think we need to start with the repo first but since we're kind of moving towards the form. It might be nice to like have on the CNCF website like an application page and like some flow charts and stuff like that and make it pretty, but I think that can come after we organize the repo. Yeah, definitely Ricardo I saw you when you. Go ahead. Yeah.  I mean, I would been putting some stuff there but there are no guidelines so so that may actually make some people confused about what you know they need to what information they need to find where right so maybe have the I would suggest and have having some central page where basically provides that information where you know people can just say okay I need to go to the single repo for this and I need to go to the TOC repo for that and, you know, so forth. Yeah, it's a really good, really good point. Thanks.  What was that thing that dumpers mother said. I will hold until I have better better forms of question I think I there is some confusion on my end. But I don't know how to best articulate that or make suggestions just yet. That's completely fair. Mostly because this is yet kind of like an open question time here. So, all right, I will watch for that issue to come through and we'll. I'm not sure the best way to be able to actually do a good working meeting with folks here around that but happy to be able to look to that Michelle. I'm saying I'm saying some just submitting this issue now. It's issue for any seven. Perfect. Okay. All right, if there is nothing else that people want to be able to bring up. Excellent. I see that link. Perfect. I can give you all a few minutes back to be able to go look at the annual reviews again would love to be able to have these closed by the next TOC meeting. We'll definitely work on that. Yeah, good to see you all. Yes, always a pleasure. Thank you, Amy. Yeah, good fun.


Mystery House. Mystery House, that same publishing firm owned by Dan and Barbara Glenn, where each new novel is acted out by the Mystery House staff before it was accepted for publication. Mystery House. Oh, we pay the part of husband and wife tonight, huh, Barb? An objection? Of course not. I haven't been talking about the role in real life, have I? Well, you better not.  You don't need to worry about Dan, Mrs. Glenn. He's one husband in a minute. Oh, that's alright, Dan.  And here's a tip for others who want to get the most out of things. Okay, Tom, set the scene for tonight's story, huh? A short life for Mary. Tonight's story opens in the luxurious apartment of Alton Merrill, an elderly man with young ideas. A slightly dressed young man who seems out of place in the apartment has just come in. No one ever seems anxious to talk to him. Well, Morgan, have bad news again, Mr. Merriweather. What? You mean Miss LeVon LeRue ain't really in love with you? She's in love with the idea of getting a myth on your goal, Mr. Merriweather. Wait for the prophecy. Hookline and sinker. A high full of life to me, that babe.   If you want me. Well, I got nothing less than Mr. Merriweather. And I wanted her all of life. Ah, no, sir, Mr. Morgan. Somewhere there's a beautiful young woman who appreciates real character and brains. And I think I found her, too. There we go again. Her name is Mary. You were pretty new, huh? Yeah, pretty as a picture, too. Mary Delafield. After the last night. She said I could out-dance into the young spuggers that she'd run around with. I see. Then we got along here good. She called me Alton and I called her Mary. Ah, you're a fast worker all right, Mr. Merriweather. Eh, Mr. Morgan, if you're making fun of me. Oh, no, sir. And if you want to think I'm an oldie, too, because I want a young pretty wife, that's your privilege. But don't ever let all like you think of it. I pay you pretty good, don't I? Honest Mr. Merriweather, it's a shame to take the money. Because I know always what the enough is gonna be. I worked like a dog, building up the Merriweather Steel Company. I never had any time to dance, and laugh when you're pretty girls. I always said they'd come later. Well, it's getting awful late. But why, you couldn't stand the pace of one evening with me. Out till four o'clock with that Miss Della for your last night. Huh? Yeah, you give her the plan now and see what happens. You know, I kind of take maybe two if there to be the one. Ha, ha, ha, ha! I stopped buying my way to work. I have much time, but I had to see it. You were out with that old Merriweather now last night again, weren't you? Really Frank, I'm too tired and sleepy to talk to you. Now, I'm not gonna take long.  Giving me the go-by for a dollar and a two or to be in a wheelchair. Oh, thank you to mind your own business. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm in love with you, Merri. How interesting. You'll be late for that job of yours if you don't hurry. We've been around together for nearly three years. Run it on? Say that's what you call it. Well, that's some good time together. Going to the movie? Listen, Frank, I'm going to the movie cast. I graduated. Mr.  Is that all you're in the rest of the morning? It's kind of nice to have it out. If I were to marry, I'd be Merriweather. Marry him? I was joking. Getting married to a million dollars is no joking matter. I thought you were a busy kid. You've no right to talk to me this way. And though with anybody I choose, it's none of your business. If I were to marry, I'd be Merriweather. I guess that's up to me. Not all together. Why I should be in love with you, I don't know. But that's how things are.  How do you like to try it for a million dollars? You're not yourself. You talk about the lilies. I'm a very practical person. Not only a magic tool, I too. I know, there's a lot farther than you do. What's for you? A friend of yours, baby. Practically a dream of a magic lamp. I don't know. Just a minute, baby. It ain't polite to go on a guy's date. It's not until you've heard your sales talk anyway. So you're sending something? Well, I don't know anything. I figure maybe you do, baby. That's why I waited for you already to leave for work and then for your boyfriend. I wanted to talk to you private. What about? About money, mainly. Lots of money.  You've seen lots of me before with you, baby. Good moron's the name, Merri. You know my name? Sure, I know all about you. You and the kid down the street. And I know about Mr. Orton Merriweather. Particularly all about him. What do you want? You can invite me in with a cork nice and quiet. I can tell you. I ain't going to bite. All right. Come in. Make it quick. I'm a private detective, Merri. I've never done anything. I worked for Orton Merriweather. I'm trying to find him a girl that really loves him. Yeah. He ain't going to trust me. I've told him five or six times that something more after his money. So now I'm all ready to take the easiest sucker in the world. And the juicer. An old guy with dough and young ideas. I'll take it out of here.  I'm giving you a real date. Without me, you can't land him. Not ever.  What are you talking about? There's tricks, baby. Tricks you don't know. Orton wants a beautiful young bride. But if one will have any, he figures there must be a catch in it. And he's right. You can marry her. They can love with me. Oh, sure. But he was involved with money a long time before he met you, sister. Don't forget that.  Now get out of here. You don't want his money, huh? You could get every dime of it. With me. Without me, you get nothing. But how do I get the money? That's the $50,000 secret, baby. All you gotta do is to leave it to me and follow instructions. You don't invest a thin dime. And once you get the money, they give me $50,000. I... It's ridiculous. Deposit. Sure it is. Things like this just don't happen. Or do they? You read in the papers every day about some young dame getting a heavy load of sugar from some old daddy? You don't have to tell me. I tell you nothing. I take all the risks. All you do is follow instructions. And collect. If you don't collect, I don't get a leg nickel. Is it a deal? I think they're talking to your hat that... If it could work out like you said, I guess I'd be willing to give you $50,000. That's all I wanted to hear, baby. I'll start to work. Well, Morgan, you hit the jackpot this time, Mr. Maryweather. What's that? You mean she's really in love with me? She's nuts about you. You may be awful about getting my money without having to marry me, huh? I nearly got thrown out of her apartment. She's so head over heels in love with you it ain't even funny. Oh, my little Mary. I tell you, Morgan, I'm a swap man. It's worked. It's really worked. She thinks you're wonderful. Yes, yes, I know you. I'll give her everything under the sun. You know you're the coolest you'll be. All the money she wants, everything anybody could ever need to be happy.  Hmm, I'd still be kind of careful if I was you, Mr. Maryweather. What? How do you know?  Yeah, but I won't make out any insurance there, even so. Why not? Well, maybe she's not the boss. You're the secret relative. And they might get ideas for getting a lift on your dough by you having an accident. Well, that should have a right to my money. If I was you, I'd give her a nice chunk of dough now and say maybe a quarter of a million. That way she won't marry you for your money and there's no temptation for her relative. Oh, you would, would you? And you can throw a quarter of a million dollars around off her lettuce. But I won't. No, no, Mr. Morgan. I will marry her first. Mr. Morgan. Yeah. I've been waiting for you and Alton to get back from your honeymoon. I want to be the first to offer my congratulations. Is Alton here? No, he's down at the camp. Oh, wow. Then I can relax. Eh, you got the perfect plan for me, baby? You said you'd get the money without my marry. I said maybe I would. It didn't work. Then I don't see why I tell you anything. Mary, a copper welter and a bride split with me once and they found them in the ditch the next morning. I don't know you anything. Now, listen here. You never in the world could have married him if I hadn't given it the okay. I've got to stop that wedding in a minute by telling him the truth. Baby, you can't stop it now. It's too late. We made a deal. Fair and square. A deal for 50 grand. It wasn't fair and it wasn't square. It's like I had to marry him to get it. Now, look, baby. I ain't gonna argue with you. You'd get me that 50,000 bucks for you the deadest boy that ever got fitted for a coffin. Ha! Very funny, that is. What's so funny about it? You're asking me for 50,000 dollars. I can't even get my hands on 50 cents. You know what I have to do to get any spending money? Take something out and sell it. What the old man said? I don't care what he said. Only vying me all the presents in the world puts me tight. It shows me off like a prize polo pony. I have an exhibition. But I haven't got a dime. A fine miss you got me into. Back in that dingy apartment line, I should at least go down to the corner and buy a paper with my own free sense. Are you in love with me? You bet I am. Then we gotta do something about all of them. Are you kidding? He ain't got long to live anyway. But no, no, look, I'm not getting mixed up in any money. That's what I'm in now. It's bad enough that... Oh, dear. Oh, you... You're psyching me out. I thought you were dying of pain. Mr. Martin just came in to offer you congratulations. Yes. Yes, I know. I've been listening to him. Just outside. I haven't tested you anyway, Morgan. Too smart, you were. You don't know me, Barbara. Oh, don't worry, Mary. Get out of here, Morgan. And if I ever see you on the premises again, I'll have you thrown in jail. Yes, sir. Where? I didn't say anything. What are you going to do to me? I thought you were really sweet, Mary. I was crazy about you. Because I think you're really lovely. I should have known that. But I guess there's no feeling like a lady to it. What are you going to do? I guess maybe I better not tell you, Mary. If not, accept my poems.  What kind of play are you going to know what they had for the ride? And really needed to work it. I will find out in the second act of tonight's story. Here's a brief message from our sponsor. And now, act two of... a short life for Mary. Mary and Alton Merrill, whether they are suited in the living room or they're luxurious apartments. Alton is smiling, and Mary seems sparkly by the minute. What are you smiling about? Isn't it funny? You know all about it now, so you can have a divorce. No, no, Mary, no, no. That would be pretty nice for you, that word. Get a lot of ballymoney and get rid of me at the same time. You'll have to get a divorce. There's nothing else you can do. Oh, yes. I can do quite a little bit. Oh, you're calling? Hello? Morgan, do you take your leave, you see? Let me talk to Skip Morgan, please. Yes. Here. Oh, Morgan. This is Alton Merrill, whether... No, no, now, now, Morgan. Don't be apologizing. Mary and me got things all fixed up. It's not a recent understanding. I just gave her $250,000. I want to start this time with a clean slate. So you can get your $50,000, Morgan. Mm-hmm. Any time you like. Goodbye. You mean you're really going to give me $250,000? I need no such thing. What did you say? What are you calling now? Your old boyfriend, Frank. Hello? A boyfriend? Hey, this is Alton Merrill, whether... No, no, no, no, no. You've no cause to get nasty with me. No. And Mary would like for you to come over. Mm-hmm. I guess maybe she kind of made a mistake, Mary and me, and she wants to see you. Yes. The sooner the better. Goodbye. What did you do in that event? Did you think you were going to get evidence to get a divorce from me? No, I don't want any divorce. And let's see now. I've got one more number to call. Oh, what is her name anyway? Oh, yes, yes. Susan. Susan's there. Stage name, I bet. I've got a number here somewhere. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Who is she? What does she have to tell you about? Ah, you see. Hello? Susan? Hey, Susan, this is Alton. Alton Merrill, whether. I haven't seen you for quite a spell. I know I'm a bad boy.   Oh, no, no, I'm not. I mean that. That's right. You're the one I should have made. Divorce? Yeah. Well, it's going to be fine if Mary could be talked into it. But I can't do a thing here. I was wondering if maybe if you were to talk to her and explain how things are with her. You know? Oh, now that's standing. I have to see to the better. Goodbye, dear. What are you trying to do? You want a divorce? I'd be glad to give it to you. I don't want one. You know what I was doing when I talked to Susan? I was lying. Yes, man. Just playing downright lying. I was getting here real fast. I wonder which one this is. What? How do you do, Mr. Brent? I never had the pleasure of meeting you before. Oh, you do? Mary, is it true? Did you really want me to come here? I... If you made a mistake, Mary and me, Mr. Brent, we both admit it. But then you're going to give her a divorce? Well, that's up to her. If she wants it, then what goes with it? Oh, she won't need money. I can take care of her. If you've learned your lesson, Mary. I... Yes, yes, I've learned my lesson. Then we'll start making arrangements for the divorce right away. Thank you. And now, don't start arguing about the settlement. We agreed on it and it's fair. What are you trying to do to me? Well, man, looks like we've got more company. Oh, no, no, stay right where you are, Mr. Brent. Hey, Susan Sarah. Oh, Susan, darling. And come right in, Susan. This is Mary, my wife. And this is Frank Brent, Susan Sarah. How do you do? How do you do? How do you do? How do you do? Oh, Mary, she's all right, Susan. Mr. Brent here, he's Mary's own boyfriend. Oh, unfortunately for me.  Oh, could you say the nicest thing? Thank you, dear. Oh, you're lovely, Mr. Brent. Mr. Mary, whether... Oh, listen, this is very odd. Hey, don't tell Mary. Control yourself.  Well, this is a party. Excuse me, please. Skip Morgan, the great detective. And come right in, Morgan. Is this on the level, Mr. Mary, whether... Oh, come in, come in, come in. Well, if it is on the level, that would be something new and different, wouldn't it? If you're planning some kind of a trip of me with the gold, Mr. Mary, whether you can forget it. I know most of the angles. Yes, including ways to double-cross your employer. Oh, don't try to explain. Now that we're all here, we can get down to business. Listen, all I want... I know you're $50,000. Well, that shouldn't be difficult. She has the money. All you have to do is get it from her. Hey, what do you talk about, anyway? Your job shouldn't be too difficult. This is who? Because Mr. Brent here will help you. He wants Mary to get her divorce, too. Listen, Mr. Mary, whether you told him she was already getting a divorce, but you'd agree that there'd been a settlement. Now, just a minute, don't tell her just a moment. Don't be excited.  What? Yes. Susan, I told you that if you could persuade Mary to divorce me, I'd get married to you. Didn't I? Oh, you sure did, darling. And what more had my roommate left me in? I imagine the world. Now, you're going to try things in my affections, and you'll find that it's going to cost you a lot of money. Well, there's quite a lot of no doubt in that. The big idea is... you've got a motive for Mary's murder. What? Yes, get Mary out of the way, and Susan, you could marry me. You can have her with this. You left us something, Mary Weller. You've got a pretty good motive yourself, Mr. Morgan. Huh? She owes you $50,000, and she hasn't paid it. People get angry about it, not most of that.  If you think you're going to frame me... I am not framing anybody. Mr. Brent, your motive is the weakest of the lot. That did you do. You think I'd have any reason to kill Mary? You're crazy. Well, when you find out the kind of tricks she played on me, you may change your mind.  It was a matter of courting text. Hey, I don't like this. I'm getting out of here. I don't know what's going on, but I don't want any part of it. No, Susan, no, no. The only person who's going to leave there is Lou. I'm going out for a little walk, and this gun says that nobody's going to try to go with me. You're going to have a chance to talk things over. Give me that 50 grand, baby. I don't have it, I tell you. He didn't give me any money. You know, Ryan, I just want to know one thing, Mary.  I don't know. I'd make up my mind if I was you, darling. Are you too? Can't you see? He's too tall of you.  He wants you to stop this. I kind of think I'd take old Mary with his word before I would yours, baby. You too. You couldn't tell your constrain if you held four races.   Put them on somebody. Afraid, Mary? Okay. Yes. Yes, I'm back, Mary. How does it feel to be in a dark room locked in with four people who want to kill you? You're still awake, honey. Ah, but I'm not the only one to worry about, Mary. There are three others. Morgan and Miss Sair after money.  And Judy. Four people to worry about, Mary. It's not true. I've never done anything to any of you. No. You don't even believe that yourself. I think you've got to help me. Get me out of here. I was already the one I came here. But you wouldn't even say you'd leave Mary with her. That you divorced him. No, Mary. I guess this is your problem. I'll do anything to stay up. I guess it's too late, Mary. I think you don't want me. I guess that's about it.  I don't have it, I said. Oh, you're sad. All you have to do is tell her when you can have a divorce. Do that and you don't have a thing to worry about. No, no. I'm afraid you're wrong, season two. That isn't all I want. I want satisfaction for the way I've been cheated and deceived. My friends, you're about to be in on a perfect crime. A perfect murder. You have too much to do. One of the three people I invited here tonight is a Confederate, my Mary. Only that person and I know which one it is.  Can I? Yes. I want to rejoin the rest of the performance, Mary. And the murderer has to see what he's doing. I have to get the gun off the coffee table now, then. Well, you are... No, no, no. No. I have to get to it. Got a money for $50,000 for you, Mary. I'll show you how to buy it. You look heavy. The guy's playing with me.  Good point. Don't run at me. Mary, please.  I'll show you. It's not the best. It's not the best. It's not the best. No. Mary! No. I don't... It's a nice job, Mary. Well, I guess that takes care of everything. What? Yes.  I hadn't hired anybody. More than you were the two I wanted to suffer. I put that gun closer to you than the room, so you'd be sure to get it.   You'll be convicted of murder. And I'm all taken care of. Pretty slick all around, ain't it? Yes. It's slick all right. You've got over not one thing, aren't you? When you're hooked anyway, you don't have to worry about freezing... Yes. Yes, I should have known. You can't even lose her. You get the tear for this. I might have been able to help you on Morgan, but not this one, Mary. Nobody could help you now. I know. Go ahead. Call the police.


Windows 11 is finally here and what does it mean for us as gamers? How is gaming improved on Microsoft's latest operating system? I've got a lot of devices here, so let's go ahead and find out. All right, welcome back guys, Thundie here and thank you for joining me on this video talking about Windows 11. Now if you're joining me for the very first time, go ahead and hit the subscribe button and notification icon to get notified with more videos like this. I've been using Windows 11 through the preview beta for a while and it's finally here. Go ahead, download it, it's stable, it runs well, but you're asking the question, what are the benefits I'm going to get as a gamer? I'm going to start off with one of the best benefits there is direct storage. Now direct storage is something we've seen from the Xbox that is going to be applied to Windows machine. As long as you have a fast capable NVMe, basically you know fast storage drive within your machine, just like what I have here with the Razer Blade 14, then you can take advantage of direct storage, which means it allows faster load times allowing for your machine to basically dump quickly to the graphics card. All that jargon doesn't mean anything other than while you're playing games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it loads faster and you can go ahead and enjoy those games and assets continue to load as fast as possible, especially games that have large scenery to render or very luscious environments, like you can see here on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. By the way, this Razer Blade 14 is an awesome laptop. It is running the AMD Ryzen 5900H and RTX 3080. You can get in a couple, I think a couple of configurations, but combined with the NVMe here, you're getting that kind of smooth gameplay experience that you're seeing because Windows 11 is taking advantage of the hardware finally. And that's something as PC gamers, we have been waiting for and absolutely love it. So definitely a kicker here. And honestly, this is a great laptop to check out to overall. I use it for my trip to London, I did some editing on here, solid. Now, the other thing, of course, is just the smooth transition of what Windows has actually done. So moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11, that's great. I mean like it doesn't, you don't have a lot of hiccups or any issues there. And while I'm gaming on the device like the MSI GE76, which has a little power performance, by the way, I mean, games just run really well. And I think also the UI feels a little bit smoother for this gaming needs. Now, the one thing you will note, and I actually noted with this device is that if you're running an RTX machine with an NVIDIA GPU, you do have to download the latest drivers that are optimized for Windows 11. And you see some of that smooth gameplay and performance you see here. So I did that on all my devices, including my desktop, where I was able to take advantage of one of the key features that Microsoft is adding, which is auto HDR. So HDR is, it's been on Windows for a while, it's been a little bit wonky. Now auto HDR has set things, basically proper is what I would say, which means that if you've got a HDR capable monitor like I have here with my LG monitor, you can go ahead and take advantage of your system and run games on HDR. It'll auto detect the games for you once you set auto HDR. And then boom, you're good to go. These games look vibrant, they look luscious. You can see it quite well, it's sharp.  Now, when you want to summarize what Windows 11 gaming is right now, simply put Microsoft is trying to make it easier, better and faster for you to enjoy your games. So things that I mentioned, like auto HDR and direct storage, allow you to use your hardware that you spent a lot of money for, whether it's a PC rig or a gaming laptop like the basically 14 on MSI G76 to its full advantage. And that is the most important thing, which means all you need to do is sit back either with your laptops or your desktop and game as much as you want. Anyway guys, if you have any questions about gaming on Windows 11 or any of the Windows 11 features and you're interested to find out more, leave your thoughts down below and ask me your questions. I'll try and ask them as much as I can. Otherwise, don't forget to like, share, subscribe and always enjoy entertainment.

Okay so let's get into this reading Virgo. So I'm just going to do a general love reading to see what's coming for you in July and see what the messages are and if you want to get a personal reading for me or Brandy I will have a July special. I'll be posting that up soon. Okay. Alright so you've got a heart to heart conversation with a new love coming in. Okay so that's good Virgo. Looks like you know I was thinking to myself don't want to do a singles reading. I mean most of all y'all are single anyway so but here you go. There's going to be a new person stirring your romantic feelings and you guys will be having a very nice conversation to start. So I'm going to do a Celtic cross to see what the energies are. We're present and coming towards you. Okay the past you have the sun. Alright let's see Leo energy. So there was something that came out into the open in the past. Something was exposed. Let's try to get more clarity on that for you Virgo. Something was exposed. Okay they're giving me two cards. Alright so some communication from a air sign. Okay this person brought you some really good positive news in the past or you got some clarity on something that was very positive that came to you. Let me see. Alright so there was something definitely hidden that came out into the open. Some messages or information you received or some news in the past that brought you some clarity.  Okay about a person, place or a thing. Okay so whatever that was it looks like it caused you to see things presently in a different light. Okay so right now it looks to me like you you have a different perspective about a past situation. Let me see. Show Virgo. What's the challenge about this situation? Okay so the challenge is letting go. Okay it's hard. The challenge is to get into some kind of acceptance about something painful or even if it's not painful the challenge is to accept that something wasn't fulfilling in the past. You know so this is kind of like a progress here. It feels like in the past you came to realize something but now you're seeing it differently and now the challenge is to accept that maybe something isn't going to be what you thought it was. Okay in regards to some type of a relationship. Let me see what is driving you right now. What's driving you forward? Where are you getting your own from Virgo? What's causing you to be in this situation right now? Why are you seeing this situation differently? Why is Virgo looking at this differently? Okay. Huh okay you might have thought someone was your soulmate. Okay let's see. Also your past memories. Yeah you're thinking back on the past. That's what's driving you to see something differently. I feel like the overall message here for you Virgo is what maybe you thought was really wasn't and I don't know exactly what that means but what you thought was something in the past might not. I don't know you're just getting some clarity about it. Look there's something in the past was very sad or something in the past of five of cups. You might have some remorse or a regret about something in the past but you're dealing with it. You're accepting it. You're dealing with it. You know it's it's it's a challenge for you to grieve it but it's a benefit for you to do that. It's going to help you. If you didn't get some kind of closure give yourself the closure by accepting something and then forgiving and letting it go. That's that's the message right here but it's a little bit of a challenge for you. Now what's crowning down above you? Like what's in your thought process? What's in Virgo's thoughts process? What's in their mind? Okay all right awesome. So you've got the magician. This is manifesting. So your headspace you're kind of like all right dealing with the past accepting something letting something go but the magician in your headspace crowning down is trying to magically create something new for yourself. That's your headspace which is good. This is like you've already taken some kind of leap of faith in your life because a full card is before the magician so you've already done this. You've already taken the first step right. So the first step is pretty much like okay let me just let go of something here. Let me try to grieve it whatever it is and then the next step is the magician where now I'm focused on what I what it is that I do want and what it is that I do need. So I like that energy. I like where you're at okay. You're transitioning here in July for sure. Now what's coming towards you? Oh wow you've got temperance. So this is reaching a place of neutrality reaching a place of yeah they're just telling me neutrality balance being at peace. This is coming towards you in July so this is great. So whatever you were dealing with in the past whatever the issue is it looks like you're working through it and you're doing good Virgo you're doing good and you also have excitement. You may even have like some kind of exciting messages coming to you in July accepting dates making dates doing something fun yes okay I feel like your springboard gets set and in July you just come to this this like temperate place like you're moderate you've moderated things you're good you found you find a way to like balance the negative with the positive so it's a very good energy coming towards you and that just means to me Virgo like you're coming to this place of acceptance at peace and now you're finally able to start getting excited about something going forward now let's take a look at your advice right here okay your advice here is a nine-and-one so put your boundaries up keep your boundaries in place be persistent lesson learned be persistent protect your heart okay you've got the death card yeah so the endings and new beginnings right see this ending your advice here is to take a look and see this this at some type of ending as an actual new beginning okay now let me see what's external to you other people places and things external to you okay so you've got someone external to you an emperor who seems to be very sneaky okay this is someone who is very sneaky this is a person in a position of authority or someone who you know it's strange because the emperor is not generally a sneaky kind of person but some of their for some reason this emperor's got this seven of swords energy behind them where they kind of have this just deceptive deceptive thing about them let me see what else is going on here what else is going on with this this emperor why is this emperor showing up with that negative trait so I feel like they're saying that everything the emperor does is generally positive and above board and real and true and good but there is some deception in the words in the communication okay telling some lies the tendency so lies not necessarily to harm okay so they're just saying that this the lies that this emperor tells us white lies to say face I don't know what that means this could be somebody coming towards you a new lover where there's some type of communication and I feel like there will be a heart-to-heart conversation but some of the things that this emperor will say to you they skirt over the details okay so it's lie by omission I feel like this emperor they're not ready to tell you certain things okay so when you meet this person going forward because I do feel like this is the new love coming towards you can be an Aries or someone in that Mars energy someone they're just leaving some things out when you have this heart-to-heart conversation let me say why why are they going to leave some things out they might have been a little tricky in the past oh this person's wealthy as f okay for some of you this person's got a lot of money how they get their money could be through gambling maybe doing some illegal things it could be a gambler you know or someone I'm not seeing like addiction here but they're not gonna tell you there's something being left out about some wealth or fortune they don't want you to know for some of you I feel like this person doesn't want you to know that they come from a lot of money or are the way they get there how they have their wealth because they want you to like them for who they are okay so they're not that's what they're gonna leave out and they're not gonna tell you oh yeah by the way I have millions they are I have all this money tied up in assets assets I'm like filthy rich or I have a lot of money or I get my money through you know the Wheel of Fortune can like I'm a risk-taker they do maybe betting of some sort they have all this money I'm not gonna tell you because they don't want you to be bedazzled by that I'm just hearing this is a new love coming in so they're gonna pretty much tell you a lot of heart to heart they may reveal it though they might at some point I feel like this is something new someone new coming in okay they're giving me all these cards that just fell what do they want to say all right so for some of you this at definitely Aries Leo Sagittarius Queen of Wands yeah sitting here with the wealth male or female energy definitely sitting they've been looking for the right person look at this they've been looking for the right person doing that search putting the energy out there see who's available this person is is filthy rich they're wealthy they're hiding their money they don't want anyone to know they don't want you to know they don't want anyone to know they're not gonna put that out there right away they're basically just gonna be like oh yeah like I'm a beekeeper that's what I that's how I make my money I'm a bee keeper but they might be like filthy rich from all the honey that they import or export okay they're not gonna tell you I mean that's okay now you know but either way oh they just I feel like this person just is like get to know me don't get to know my bank account just yet they come from some kind of wealth okay it's reading it's so funny I don't know it's so specific let me see all right what are your hopes and fears Virgo Virgo's hopes and fears okay so you've got oh my card was stuck to my nail so you have a ton of ones all right Virgo now this is good both ways like you fear you're gonna struggle but at the same time you're hoping that's the end of this is the end of the struggle whatever your struggle is it's also for some of you it's the end of physical labor I mean I feel like this person is so wealthy I mean sugar mom and sugar dad or whatever but I think this person is so they've got so much money for some of you not gonna have to work anymore which is crazy for Virgo's cuz Virgo's like I love to work Virgo you will always work even if someone like puts you up you will always find a way to work you run your own business you have to stay busy okay so even if somebody has tons of money Virgo's don't are not generally like they don't Virgo's don't look for people like Virgo's don't like to be kept Virgo's don't look for people in that way to like put them up that it's just not really a Virgo trait Virgo's are just always out in the field you know supporting themselves are very independent they love to work I mean but Virgo doesn't want to struggle either you know so if somebody wants to pitch in that's great and I feel like there will be that opportunity here with someone who's coming in they just I also want to say this person was a little deceitful in their past but they've they've changed as well that that behavior they may hold that back as well to you and not tell you their past history and it's funny because with this heart-to-heart conversation I feel like they're gonna want to though open up and tell you everything don't push them I guess that's the message they eventually will open up and have that conversation eventually they will tell you you know as you get to know each other that you know as the bond deepens as you get to know each other that you know they get some skeletons in their closet or they just have some things they just want to get to know you that's what I feel like that energy is going to be playing out in July okay okay so you also have okay some of you are hoping for a renewal with a water sign and that a struggle the struggle with that that is over and that there maybe is some healing but some of you might be fearing that a water sign is going to want to try to reunite with you okay it's not saying that they are or that they're not it's just I hope in a fear for you what is the outcome with this new with this new love coming in okay so there's a decision that's gonna get made let me see what is this decision oh there's the Nine of Pentacles again oh Virgo I do feel like this person's like financial status is going to weigh heavily on you about a decision if for you I feel like you're gonna be standing at the crossroad about whether or not to actually date this person or to you know go forward with them or whether or not just to be single you know an independent solo and on your own financially stable on your own hmm I don't know why that's gonna be a decision for you but yeah I see you I see you kind of like coming up to this thing like well you know if this person has a lot of money or you might want to just kind of just not let them know keep it kind of like secret about your own financial situation I feel like this find I feel like money is going to play a huge role in your decision about connecting with this person this feels like something very different and it doesn't feel like something you might be used to maybe you are I don't know but I feel like finances independence luxury all of that is going to play a huge role in this relationship in the decision about whether or not to accept this new love or to keep something going for some of you you might fear or just feel uncomfortable that somebody makes more money than you that could be something or if this person was deceitful in their past and they tell you there might be a fear whether you know hmm should I trust should I take a chance or not yeah I feel like at the end is like a crossroad here for you Virgo the end of the at the end of July especially I feel like you're gonna come up on this hmm hmm you know Virgo is gonna be going down the rabbit hole with their analytics thinking as well let me see what other messages there are here for you Virgo and I you know we're having a thunderstorm I recorded this right after the live stream I think I'm gonna bolt out quick because I'm afraid I'm gonna lose my power here all right you've got yeah you've got the star card your hope faith and wishes are being restored make a wish right now and believe it is yours okay so there is some type of healing happening you're getting some type of hope back in July okay your wishes will be coming okay you've been probably a little bored with something or just in your life in general so whatever you've been hoping for or wishing for I feel like your prayers are being answered praying about when it comes to love definitely all right yeah you've got that twin soul connection coming in victory recognition applause like you're meeting someone communicate your love to the divine be thankful for this twin soul you've been chosen for one another even when times are tough and seem back and forth this love is meant to be and for some of you it's time to reconcile so reconcile could this could be somebody you're reconciling with that you you know have finally put an end to that and there's a new start with this person and for others this is like to reconcile your heart and to figure out if you're ready for this connection if you guys you know like if you're really ready for this because it feels to me like you've got some pretty fantastic energy showing up and like I said the end of July and there's definitely a big question mark looming over your head about whether or not you are going to go forward with someone because I do feel like there's going to be somebody showing up here yeah I do I do let's see what your messages of love are what are Virgo's messages of love let me say Virgo's the messages of love integrity does this situation align with your values and morals that's going to be a one of the questions you're going to be asking yourself for somebody this is past life thing sorry listen I'm this is not scripted you guys the way it comes out is the way it comes out so for some of you there is some kind of reconciliation where there's some type of change with someone that they've made a change may not it could have the money part of it could play out too this person showing up who's made a change and coming in correctly okay like I said could be Aries it could be cancer Scorpio Pisces let me see what other message is they're here for you now for others it's not a past person which I kind of feel like it is but for others the person the one percent of you that it's not a past person there's a recognition of a soul kind of thing do you know I mean like a familiarity comes in as well you also have trust so this person might look like someone that you've let go of there could be similarities between them but it feels more like an energetic thing there's a familiarity okay trust it is safe to trust in the situation Virgo what else do you have oh yep you've got a decision that's what I said you've got a decision is coming up there's going to be something coming in for you here detach with love to clearly see the truth you're definitely going to have some kind of an approach by someone in July past or new new love stirring up feelings are re-stirring up some old feelings again and now you're gonna be presented with a situation like a decision what am I gonna do do I want to should I do or do I just want to stay on my own or stay single definitely that energy is playing out Virgo so like I said I'm gonna end this here I know this was short I am I can't help it there's lightning and thunder and I don't want to get cut off because if I get cut off I'm not coming back to redo it just who knows when it'll be all

Good morning once again and come back, I told you that we'd be back with the discussion about education today being World Education Day and we are going to discuss alternative education, alternative or complementary educations. No people are used to, what we are used to is 844, like 8 years in primary, 4 years in secondary, then 4 years in university. But now there are other ways that people can attain education without following that or people can maybe get a career or get a livelihood without going through this education system. My name is Sankaraka Esu and I'm not alone in studio. I am with the guest who are going to help me demystify or dissect this. One of them is called Beria Wawera and another is called Walter O'Donnelly both from Zizi Africa, the agonization that deal with education. So Wawera, how are you? I'm very fine, thank you. You are going to tell me more about yourself or tell me more about yourself now. Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to come and share about education here at your studios. We are grateful for that. We are from Zizi Africa Foundation, working with the TVETS space in the education sector. We are here to unfold and discuss further all that is coming in terms of alternatives of education and the TVETS space in general. More about your social media platforms. Alright, my social media, I'm only on Facebook as Beria Wawera and also LinkedIn as Beria Wawera.  Yes, I have not explored social media so much but I'm getting there in time. Okay, nice. Walter? Good morning. My name is Walter O'Donnelly, a program officer at Zizi Africa. You can find me on social media platforms on Facebook as Walter O'Donnelly. On Instagram, Walter Waulment 1 and also on Twitter, which is the serious one. But you are more serious on Twitter. Yes, Walter Onyango 1. There's another guy in this studio called Walter. I'll tell you who he is after that. Yes, Walter is a serious name. My belief is that education is actually an equalizer so that's my tagline. Achieving greatness once a time. Yes, you guys look educated. You are here to advocate for the other alternative way of education. Did you go through that other way or you just went through the formal 844? Well, I went through the normal 844. And at my time, I'm not so old or younger but at the time there was no such advocacy as we have today as when we were learning about tibet otherwise that would have been my best solution to have though I went through a 844 and completed. So you are saying if you knew maybe there was somewhere where you could have gone through that. Yes. So you were going to talk to us about it. Yes. Walter, you also went through it. I would say mine is a mix of both because actually when we did our fong fo, the first thing our parents thought of was computer packages and that we did in tibet. After fong. Yes, and also driving school which is also done in tibet institutions. I believe I did a little bit of tibet because tibet is actually everything. Everything we do, the heart you are wearing, the seats you are sitting on, everything here is tibet. So I would say in one way or the other we went through tibet and also went through the formal 844. So mine has a complementary of both. I have not thought of that. Everything here is tibet. Okay. Now it's like some people are wondering what this tibet is. But here maybe you can help us explain what exactly is tibet. Yeah. So tibet in full I know most are wondering what is this tibet that you are talking about. Yes. So tibet is technical vocational education and training. Yes. So this vocational training in what we are discussing about. As my colleague Walter has said all this we are sitting on is tibet. There is someone who came in and built or made this seat we are sitting on. So these hands on skills we want to discuss and discuss more into it. Yes. Because tibet is about skills, hands on. Yes. So there are institutions that just teach this. Yes. What I will add also from what my colleague has said is that there are different levels of tibet. There is tibet at the lowest level which is run by the county government which is called the vocational training center. And this you don't really need to have any qualification as long as you have an idea and you want to learn. Because around 90% of the examination they do is practical and another 10% which is theory. Then the next step is the TTIs the technical training institutes which is now which is national. Then there is now the national polytechnic like Kabete National Polytechnics. Then we have at the highest level the technical universities like Tuk and Tum. KIMC is also a tibet institution. People feel that technical is only like manufacturing and all that but also the film industry. You guys having us here, the camera is all tibet. The tibet looks like what we are being told about CBC. That now people will go to class and maybe do exactly what they want to do or what they want to specialise in. From childhood so that they start specialising early. Will CBC now kill tibets? No actually CBC is a complementary because CBC is the foundation because that is where you are finding the learners now in school. Whatever they are understanding the knowledge they have and what they are being given as homework or take homes are the skills they need to apply. So those skills are the ones we are elevating to the tibet space now. Because wakenda kwa tibet that is where now they are able to actually use the same skills. If you are told to draw for instance as a homework in the CBC. Which is now the child is being given homework or assignments that they can work with the parents to nacha their skills. So those same skills are now elevated in the tibet. That child now at the tibet level is able to actually continue with the same skill they had and improve on them. So for instance if it's like the camera person who is taking us today. If that was their passion or that was their skill now they are able to enhance that as they move on. So tibet is CBC and tibet they are complementing each other. Is it complementing each other more than it for its doing? I would say there is CBC for the lower level which is the basic education. But then also there is CBC, competence based education and training. So we wouldn't say that CBC is going to kill tibet because there is also a CBC curriculum for tibet. So CBC is what will be the market pool for tibet institutions. And now before we had also like technical secondary where institutions had the normal lessons and then an additional cap entry or welding for the students which was dropped at some point. But then there are some institutions like Don Bosco Ambu that is still doing that. So as I think the CBC now is more focused on yes we will have the knowledge but also have the skills for people to learn. The issue for me with the CBC I think one, so not really an issue. One thing I think about CBC is that it's now bringing in the parent who had left their students to the teachers. Nyi nyi ndeni shule tutawonana for one month. But now the role of the parent is being enhanced to a way that the children and the parents are connecting. I had your discussion earlier and you were saying that there is no assessment. But you see that is what education had taught us before in Kenya that we only study for exams. So someone would be even in university so people were doing that. But you would not attend lectures but like ten days to exams you cram everything. So you only have the knowledge, the information but you can't apply it. But with that removal of exams you are now able to focus on what you really want. And then it's also a lot of pressure starting to assess students at this lower level. Just let them try and get their footing so that by the time they are joining they are having these assessments then they are ready for it. The only issue I have with CBC like I said was one I think there should have been more awareness of the parent and also the issue of blanketing it so that the assignment we are giving in Nairobi should it be the same assignment we are giving to someone in Marsabit, those far flung areas. How do we ensure that those assignments we are giving are community focused and based on the available resources. How do you also skill the teachers who are giving this training so that they are not training based on the lessons they had from 844 but from the skills that will enable them to do the CBC. And also the issue of it being expensive is also because they have not utilized the local materials to propel CBC. Otherwise I think it's a really nice concept that if well handled then we are going to see a lot of... It's a pity that we import even toothpicks. Yes, yes. And you see with this like skills focused kind of training CBC you are training people to work on their skills. We are training them for the industry and we are also not trying to kill the issue where the employers are saying that there is mismatch of training we are getting raw baked, those who are half baked employees to our job so we have to retrain them. So if we have those kind of engagement or also partnership with industry so that we know what they want and then train what they want. Okay. I think to just add on what my colleague is saying. The CBC incorporating the parental engagement is very, very key. That way the parent is able to understand what skills or what expertise this child is having so that now as they progress they are able to nurture them better so that they even probably build on their skills. So that by the time they are finishing we are not probably having people only just doing computers and with the skills they have probably received from the experience they have had. A person is passionate about cut entry. Even before they join probably the Tivet space or even before they join the tertiary education they could be even be making this child and selling them. So those skills enhance them to be employable or even to employ people. Okay, okay. Just brief about you. We are coming back to you. Walter, what do you do at Zizi Africa to promote Tivet education? Zizi Africa is an education research organization that envisions a world where every children learn and thrive. So in this learning under the Tivet space we are providing access to the youth who are farthest left behind. So those really need the kids, really need the youth who want to train but they don't have the finances. So through a program we call the Safari Con Foundation Scholarship Program we are offering scholarships to around 1000 students to train on skills food and beverage, plumbing, electrical and welding. But also under that Holiu Development Department we are also building the capacities of instructors and institutions so that they are able to train youth not only for the technical skills but they can train the head, the heart and the hands. It's unfortunate the issues of Prof. Kiche who we are talking about, the immediate former Masayimara Vice Chancellor. Students get to suffer because institutions were not compliant. But then if you build the capacities of these institutions to know that this is what is required for you to be accredited then they are able to train students and also not give them like those pains like on that the guy is having but also the due diligence is important. We are also ensuring quality by supporting them in curricular development so there is a lot of research evidence based and also a lot of advocacy. We are engaging a lot with government to ensure that issues in tivet like the 100% transition is not only academic where you are saying from primary to secondary. But also looking at how do we ensure that someone who is coming to primary can also go to tivet and gain skills because we are not formed in a way to go for academics. There are those who want apprenticeship and there are those who also want to go to technical skills. And lastly is transition to work. How do we engage with the employers, with others, take hold us under programs. I know you've heard of the hands of the future that was done under permanent working group which we are members to, there's the values and life skills working group. We are trying to ensure that there is that connection between the industry, linking industry with academia so that the training is customized in a way that people are trained to fit the needs of the industry. That looks nice or sounds nice. But now Berya, if maybe you want to, there's somebody watching for us, engaged us in our social media platform who did his class 8 and have not gone to any institution. There's also one who went to secondary and got a D minor. They don't know what to do next. And they lack funds maybe to go on or they don't know they are just not cancelled on where to go after that. They consider themselves failures. What can you tell them? One we need to have this mindset that tivets is not for failures.  We have people who have imaged senior professors and big persons. So that is the first one. The second one is we have to, in our communities the tivets are there. Most of actually almost all counties, actually all the counties in Kenya as we are having now have tivet institutions in them. You can go in and enroll, enroll for hands-on skill or a course that you can take. May it be in hairdressing, in massage, in electrical, in plumbing, in welding, all these courses. These courses will actually enable you even to propel you to an advanced stage. Because it is true you starting at the basic level of say grid 3 of doing electrical welding that you are able to actually go work out there because that is something with your hands you are able to actually do so much. You are actually able to go door to door seeking for. Everyone in our houses we will all agree here that we need a plumber. We need someone to fix our electricity. We need someone to fix one or two things in our houses. And these are the people we are looking for. Right now if you ask me for a plumber perhaps I will not have one at a callaway but then these are skills we need and our own demand. No, these are not jobs or skills that you sit in and you are jobless. No, you actually get jobs with these skills. So you can go enroll in the courses. It only takes about one year or less in some of the institutions and actually you are able to get these skills and employ yourself or even get employment in the industries around. So you should not give up because you got a D or a grid that has not given you a leeway to maybe a university. Actually that D should propel you to start at grade three so that you are able to actually improve yourself and actually get into grade two and grade one which is the highest level. So after grade one you can do certificates? No, actually the starting point is grade three. Then you proceed to grade two. Then grade one is the highest certification. Can you use a grade one certificate to go to another level? Yes. So pathways are designed in a way that you can move from one to the other. So after grade one you can either go to diploma and I wish I had carried that alternative pathway map because then it shows that you can move from high school directly to a tivet diploma or from high school to grade three to grade two, grade one and then certificate which is craft. Then from craft you move to diploma and they are shorter. Or they are short courses? They are short courses also. So grade three takes around one year. Grade two is another I think around six months. Grade one is roughly another one year. So maybe in two and a half years you would have done all the grades. And maybe to also just add to what Beria was saying are you talking about people who have grade D or people who have just done their closet and can't proceed. 70% of the youth are not made for universities and that we know by the exams result that we get and that's like a big number. So this 70% who can't get to university they can't go through parallel because it's expensive also. So I would recommend tivet because in a year the fees is around 56,000 and in this 56,000 if government is giving you around 30,000 grants. So this is a capitation for every student that has joined a tivet institution that is 30,000. So the remaining balance is around 26,000. This 26,000 this is how you get it. Help is now in tivet and help gives around 40,000 per year. So they pay 26,000 to the school account and then the 30,000 is given to you for your help. So it means that a student can get to tivet completed while self funding rather than disturb the parents that need money for this. So it's a cheap option. That's one. Number two, because I know people don't like this a lot of academics. If you go the tivet, the need away you will have like 90% practical as exam. So even one who has not done who is not really conversant with English and all that can still pass. And then the other thing about tivet that is good and important is that it's easy to complete. So you can even do it in Swahili. As long as you understand your practical then another thing that I like about tivet is you know we've had people in the industry the joakali sector who are really good. You give someone a speaker to make they'll make it well but then they don't have paper so sometimes they can't go outside there. And I like what now the Kenya National Qualification Framework is doing. It's called recognition of prior land. You can go to an institution with your skill and just take an exam. So based on the results you get then they place you. So someone might have done like been an apprentice for like 15 years 4 or 10 and then they just go and take an exam to be certified. As we wrap up, I know you want to add but you will add to this question of Masi Awar. Masi Awar is asking that let me read her statement. I finished from 4 but didn't do well. I want to join polytechnic. I don't know what that is tivet now and do electricity. I am requesting that you link me with these people from Zizi so that they can give me scholarship. What can you tell Masi? Thanks Masi for your question. Now under the Safari Conf foundation scholarship we are taking very needy youth in the various partnership institutions we've had. We have 14 institutions all over the country. We have partnered to taking the needy youth. The scholarships as of now one was in January. They go as per the semester. So there was one in January. We are still in January. So there is one in January. The institutions advertised in December. So they are already taking in their students now. We have quite several actually scholarship currently going on. There is a KCB foundation scholarships funding the tivet students. So all you need to do perhaps maybe you could follow us on our social media handles and actually see because we actually post some of the scholarships happening there. So when Masi is particular that she wants Zizi scholarship when she should come back or when she should follow? Perhaps maybe I think what she should do is just check our social media sites because we always post. What we know is that for now this month we have already taken and then it also depends on the intakes of the institutions that we are partnering with. So based on the next intake if she goes to our social media platform Zizi Africa and for us we have made it easy. So in all platforms Zizi Africa including YouTube you will find our opportunities there. Our communication guys is really fast and he keeps updating them. Additionally even as she is looking up for the scholarship opportunities she could be joining our platforms actually just go on our website and see we have youth mentorships we have every month. This is to also equip the youth. You see other than the practicals other than the skills we need soft skills and those values those are the ones we are also preaching and telling the youth. Other than the practicals you have there are also soft skills that you need even in the workplace. Like respect communication and also in the tivet space yes I know as my colleague here was saying once we finished our form for the one thing we were asked to do is go for computers you can actually get into a tivet institution because right now they have incorporated digital literacy as part of their learning and also the skills the life skills. So you are able to actually get more than just computer packages out of that. So I think there is more to explore just look out on our platforms Zizi Africa Foundation and see the opportunities that are there see the youth mentorship hangouts and actually conduct every month and watch out and take part in them. Okay okay Walter finally as we finish my last question would you encourage somebody who has gone through the formal education it for to go also learn some hands on skilled jobs somebody like Thomas Obari who went through the University of Nairobi and passed with the first class. I think the evidence are there if you look at the last intake around 15,000 I think 15,000 youth who were qualified for University who chose tivet or they chose tivet and you see now tivet you can be selected for tivet through the KUCCPS so most of them chose tivet that number and it's not because it's not because they were influenced it's not because they were forced into it but because they sat down and realized that we don't have a lot of these white college jobs there are a lot of the blue college jobs yeah so then you'd rather go to a tivet institution get your skills also the employers are moving away from having people interviewed what are you bringing to our organization how good are you your personality giving you a task to do so the one who is good at making this table will get that job compared to someone who has learned theory in University that to make a table you need this inch of a table and this size of glass so the tivet institution is more practical so with that practicality I would really really encourage anyone to take a tivet tivet course because you'll need electricity if you don't get the job of course if you're not going for it to get a job you'll be saving yourself some money if you want to repair your electricity at home you'll be sparing yourself a lot of cash by making your own table so please give us your closing remarks yes thank you thank you so much so for every young person who has completed 844 and is wondering what next I would emphasize and encourage them to enroll in a tivet institution tivet you will find any tivet any vocational institution in your county in your area where you in your communities learn a skill even if you want to do any other course you have a skill that you can confidently go with in the market may it be entrepreneurial skills have an extra skill that you can actually be competitive out there and that is going to make you it will add an advantage to your skills I would encourage that your final word Walter skills development for life and work let's get skilled as young people because tivet is one of the reasons ones of the things that will make SDGs be attained thank you from me but once I'm through with what I'm doing now I'll go learn mechanics and electricity yes I'll do them to the highest level so that I will spare what I will have to spend on repairing my cars and all that and you can also do that maybe to make extra cash and all that so I think you are educated to move forward to making your life better this has been why in the morning and next we are coming up with youth and politics and MCM


Hi, my name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food, and today I'm sharing a quick and easy recipe for red velvet banana bread. So let me show you what you're going to need. You are going to need a box of red velvet cake mix, some pecans, vegetable oil, eggs at room temperature. I have one really ripe banana that I have mashed. The original recipe actually calls for three bananas, but we're not huge banana people. So I always use one banana and banana recipes, and it turns out just fine. You're going to need some chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. So let's get started. Okay, so the first thing we're going to do is add our cake mix, eggs, and oil to a large bowl. And I'm just going to combine everything with my mixer. And now I'm just going to add in my bananas and mix it well. And now I'm going to stir in my chocolate chips and my pecans. And I'll make sure of course to leave the recipe in the description box. And just give it a good stir. And now I'm just going to pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. I'm using a nine and a half inch loaf pan. Okay, so I've got all of the batter in the muffin pan. And I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees. I'm going to bake this for 30 to 40 minutes or until that center is done. Okay, so I just took the banana bread out of the oven. I'm going to let it cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes. And then I'm going to flip it over and let it cool on a cooling rack until it is completely cool. And then we'll do the icing. Okay, so it's been several hours and my bread is completely cool. And what I'm doing now is just kind of drizzling that white chocolate all over the top. Okay, so I'm just about done here. And of course I could have taken a piping bag and it would have looked prettier, but I didn't want to go through all that trouble. And also wanted to mention that it did take a lot longer for my cake to bake. And I think it's of course, because I baked it in a larger pan. And so mine took about an hour and 10 minutes to bake. All right, so now I'm just going to let this harden. And then I will cut a slice so you can see what it looks like on the inside. Okay, so that white chocolate has hardened up and I cut a slice so you all can see what it looks like on the inside. You can see those chocolate chips and those pecans throughout. This is such a quick and easy recipe. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. And if you haven't subscribed to our channel, we'd love to have you. And also wanted to let you know I have an entire playlist of quick and easy desserts that I will link in the description box. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.

Hi, we are discussing piecewise polynomial interpolations. We have seen that piecewise polynomial interpolations give good approximations to our functions. However, they are not differentiable at the node points right. In order to rectify this disadvantage, in this lecture we will discuss another type of piecewise polynomial interpolations called spline interpolations. We will first define spline interpolations and then we will learn to construct cubic spline interpolant of a given function. Let us see what is mean by a spline interpolating function. A spline interpolation function of degree d at the nodes x naught, x 1 up to x n for a given function f is a function which we denote by s of x with the following properties. Note that the degree of this plane is nothing to do with the number of nodes that are chosen. In polynomial interpolation, the degree of the interpolating polynomial depends on the number of nodes that is chosen right. So, we should not get confused with the degree of the plane with the degree of the interpolating polynomials. Let us go to see what are all the properties that this function s should satisfy in order to be a spline interpolating function of the given function f at these node points. The first property is that when you restrict to each sub interval x i minus 1 to x i, then the function s of x should be a polynomial of degree less than or equal to d. Up to here you can see that s of x is a piecewise polynomial and of course, if you also impose the interpolation condition, then it will become a piecewise polynomial interpolation that is what we have learned in one of our previous lectures. In addition to that, spline also demands certain smoothness of the function s in the entire interval a to b. Remember, since s is a polynomial in each of the sub intervals, this smoothness should be mainly achieved on the node points x i's. However, as a definition we say that s of x is continuously differentiable up to order d minus 1 in the interval a to b in which we are interested in approximating the function f by this plane. And the last condition is of course, the interpolation condition that the function s should satisfy the interpolation condition with the function f at all the node points. Therefore, the first condition and the third condition together will say that s is a piecewise polynomial interpolation and the additional condition that it should be d minus 1 times continuously differentiable on the interval x naught to x 1 is what is demanded in addition to the piecewise polynomial interpolation. In our course, we will restrict ourselves to d is equal to 3 in which case we call this plane as cubic spline interpolation. We will use a rather direct method to construct cubic splines. There are also other methods with which we can also construct higher degree spline interpolations, but we will only restrict to this simple case. Let us see how to construct cubic spline interpolation. Remember, we are given n plus 1 node points x naught x 1 up to x n. Let us have a notation m i to denote the second derivative of s at the i th node point x i. And the idea is to first obtain an expression for s of x in terms of m i's and then we will go to find precisely the values of this m i's. Now, once you take this notation, you can see that since s is a cubic polynomial in the interval x i minus 1 to x i, you can see that s double dash of x is a linear polynomial on this interval. Therefore, you can easily find the equation for s double dash in the interval x i minus 1 to x i because we know that it is a straight line joining the points x i minus 1 comma m i minus 1 and x i comma m i. With this, you can immediately write the expression for s double dash of x like this for all x in the interval x i minus 1 to x i. Now, once you have this, you can get s of x by integrating s double dash twice. So, that is what we will do. We will integrate s double dash two times with respect to x and that gives us this expression. Note that when you integrate for the first time, you will get an integrating constant because it is an indefinite integral. We will denote it by k 1 and then when you go to integrate it for the second time, we will get another integrating constant which we will denote by k 2. Therefore, in the interval x i minus 1 to x i, you need to now find k 1 k 2 m i minus 1 and m i. There are four unknowns to be determined in the interval x i minus 1 to x i and we have to do this in each of the subintervals. Let us first try to find k 1 and k 2. Remember, how are we going to find all these unknowns? We of course have certain conditions imposed in the definition of spline interpolation. One is it is a polynomial of degree d in each of the subintervals. In our case, d equal to 3. So, we have already used that condition that is s is a cubic polynomial in each of the subintervals. We have already used that condition in order to arrive at this expression for s in each subinterval. Now, what are all the other conditions we have? We have to use the interpolation conditions at the node points. In this interval, the node points are x i minus 1 and x i and we have certain smoothness conditions also. Let us see how to use these conditions in order to obtain all these unknowns. First, let us use the interpolation condition at the node points x i and x i minus 1. So, if you put x equal to x i minus 1, then on the left hand side, you will have f of x i minus 1, which is assumed to be known to as and now you have to put x i minus 1 here and x i minus 1 here. That will make the second term 0 and you will have x i minus 1 here. Similarly, you have another equation when you put x equal to x i and that will make this first term to become 0, but you will have the second term plus k 1 into x i plus k 2. So, you have two equations with of course, four unknowns, but now our aim is to only find k 1 and k 2 in terms of m i and m i minus 1. Therefore, we will not touch upon this m i's while evaluating k 1 and k 2. So, we will just treat k 1 and k 2 as unknowns and we will solve this linear system of two equations with unknowns as k 1 and k 2 and you can get k 1 as this expression and k 2 as this expression. So, you can easily check these conditions. Therefore, we got two unknowns k 1 and k 2 by imposing the interpolation conditions. Now, we have to get m i's that is m i and m i minus 1 in the interval x i minus 1 to x i. How are we going to do that? Well, for that let us consider the expression for S of x. Now, we have eliminated k 1 and k 2 in the expression of S by substituting these two expressions into it and we got this expression. In this, we are yet to find m i minus 1 and m i and we will use the continuity of S dash of x. Remember, we have used the fact that S is a cubic polynomial. We also use the fact that S double dash is continuous. How we did that? Because that is the way we have constructed S double dash. You can see that S double dash coincides at the boundary points because at x i whether you approach from this side or this side S double dash of x i has to be m i. So, in that way the continuity of S double dash is already used in this step and we have used S is a cubic polynomial. That is how we have taken the expression for S double dash as a straight line joining two points and we also used the condition that it is an interpolating polynomial. So, that is how we got k 1 and k 2. Now, we are left out with only one condition that S dash is continuous. We will use this condition in order to get the values of m i and m i minus 1. Let us see how to do that. What you do is at every node x i, you have a polynomial from this side and you have another polynomial from this side because S is a piecewise polynomial interpolation. Therefore, in each sub interval x i minus 1 to x i and x i to x i plus 1, you have different polynomials. Now, you take this polynomial say p 1 and p 2 and you find the derivative of this polynomial. Then you have to equate them in order to achieve the continuity of p dash at this node. So, what you do is you have S in this interval that is given by this expression in the interval x i minus 1 to x i. Similarly, you write S of x in this interval. Then take the derivative of S in these two intervals and then equate them. So, you just have to equate them and this has to be done for all the sub intervals. Note that you can do this at x 1 because you have the interval x naught to x 1 and x 1 to x 2. You can approach from the left and you can approach from the right for the function S dash to get a condition at this point. Similarly, to get a condition at x 1, you approach from left and you approach from right from this interval x 1 to x 2 and that will give you one condition here. Similarly, you can get up to x n minus 1. Note that at the points x naught and x n, you cannot impose this idea because we only have the polynomial approaching from one side from the other side. You do not have a polynomial to obtain m naught and similarly, you do not have the polynomial to approach from the right in order to get m n. Therefore, m naught and m n are excluded from this idea. Otherwise, for all i equal to 1 to n minus 1, you can find the corresponding values or m i using this continuity property of S dash and you can see that imposing the continuity property of S dash at each node x 1, x 2 up to x n minus 1 will give us a tridiagonal system of linear equations. You can derive and see, I will not show you the derivation. It is little lengthy, but very simple to do. I leave it to you to see how to bring this tridiagonal system. You can see that for each i, you have non-zero entries only on the tridiagonal positions. Otherwise, all other entries are zeros and this is a tridiagonal system with unknowns as m 1, m 2 up to m n minus 1. By solving this tridiagonal system, we can get all these constants except m naught and m n. We cannot get them using this idea. So, what we will do is we will take m naught is equal to 0 and m n equal to 0. There is no reason for why we choose like this. This is the way we choose the constants m naught and m n and we will call the resulting plane as natural plane. So, this is the construction of cubic natural plane interpolation of a given function. Cubic plane because we have imposed the smoothness of degree 2 at the nodes and also from the way it is constructed, you can see that s is a piecewise cubic polynomial and the name nature is because we have chosen m naught and m n like this. There are other ways to choose these constants. Different way of choosing these constants will lead to different planes, but natural plane means you have to choose m naught and m n as 0. There is no reason for why it is like this. This is the way in the literature people have used it. Let us see an example. Let us try to construct the natural cubic plane interpolation for the data set given to us. You can see there are four node points and the value of the function at these node points are given like this. From here you can see that the function that we are considering is f of x equal to 1 by x. Let us see how to construct the natural cubic plane. Since it is natural, first thing is you simply take m naught is equal to m 3 equal to 0. Here n is equal to 3 because we start from x naught, then x 1, x 2 and x 3. So, n is equal to 3. So, you have to take m 3 as 0, but you have to find m 1 and m 2 by constructing a system of linear equations. It is just a 2 by 2 system. Therefore, there is no clear tridiagonal structure is visible in this case. However, to construct the system, you can use this formula which we have derived in our construction. You just plug in the values of x i and f of x i given in this data set. You can see that for each i, this is just 1 and you have the corresponding values for this. Therefore, for i is equal to 1 and 2, you can get two equations for m 1 and m 2. They are linear equations given by this for i is equal to 1 and this equation for i is equal to 2. You can see that it is a linear system with two equations. Since it is only two, you do not see this tridiagonal structure in this system. However, you can easily solve this system by using Gaussian elimination method also and thereby, you will get the value of m 1 and m 2. Already, you have the values of m naught and m 3.  Now, you have to plug in those constants into the expression of the cubic plane interpolation. Remember, you have to do this in each of the subintervals. From x naught to x 1, you have to plug in m naught, m 1 and you will get this cubic polynomial. Similarly, you have to do it for the interval x 1 to x 2, that is 2 to 3. Here, you have to plug in m 1 and m 2 and you will get this polynomial. Similarly, you will get this polynomial. Similarly, in the last subinterval, you get the polynomial as this. Here, you can see that S is a piecewise cubic polynomial. Here, cubic means the degree is at most 3, not exactly 3. So, this is how we generally define the interpolating polynomials. In the first interval, it is a cubic polynomial. In the second interval also, it is a cubic polynomial. But in the third interval, it is only a linear polynomial, but that does not matter. We want S to be a polynomial of degree less than or equal to 3 in each of the subinterval. Therefore, this is fine and this is the natural cubic plane interpolation for the given data set. With this, we will close this class. Thank you for your attention.
