So we're here at Melbourne Christian Fellowship in Mwonga Park conducting a three-hectare plan burn to remove a large portion of the fuel hazard, the extreme fuel hazard that exists on this block. This is our third burn here on site and over the last few years we conducted some smaller ones just through a very slow process, giving the size, giving the complexity that exists here at this burn. It was really impressive to see, you know, one of the key functions that they play is helping keep communities safe through burn-offs and so it was a really great opportunity for me to see that firsthand. For our newer crews, they actually get to see and touch and feel the heat, the smoke and see fire in the landscape, how it behaves and we can talk and learn and share that not just from the newer firefighters but right through all our ranks and time in CFA.


Daily Tech News Show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including Paul Teeson, Ollie Sanjabi, and Andrew Bradley. Coming up on DTNS, the Large Hadron Collider has switched back on, and Dr. Nicky tells us about its new discoveries, plus opposition to Microsoft Acquiring Activision and new standards for quantum proof encryption. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, July 6th, 2022 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. In Salt Lake City, I'm Scott Johnson. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And joining us, of course, are science correspondent, Dr. Nicky Ackermans. From New York City. How's it going, Dr. Nicky? Roger, put your line in the Introduce column, so I introduced you. I apologize. We should have just let you introduce yourself, huh? It's okay. People might forget about me. I'm not here every day. And we will never forget about you after today. We would never, never forget. Sure. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Apple announced a new feature for iPhones called Lockdown Mode coming in the autumn. So when activated, it blocks attachments and link previews in messages, certain attackable web browsing features, and incoming FaceTime calls from unknown numbers. It also requires the device to be unlocked to accept accessory connections like headphones and blocks installations of remote management software as well. The mode is only meant for users who feel they may be a target of a sophisticated attack such as the Pegasus software from NSO Group that can infect phones with little or no action required with the target. A developer version is being tested now and Apple plans to expand Lockdown Mode over time. According to a new report from Nikkei, Nintendo saw switch sales decline 33% from April through June on the year to around 840,000 units. Part of that appears to be supply chain related. They just can't make it off of them. A Nintendo spokesperson said quote, the shortage of chip materials resulted in a 10% decline in switch production on the year during that quarter. Microsoft split its beta channel for Windows 11 as part of a transition period. One group will have majority of testers and include an enablement package of new features on by default. The others will have new features on off by default. This may result in some testers losing access to beta features. Testers can choose to install a Windows update to add the enablement package with new features. Amazon announced a partnership with Grubhub owner Justy Takeaway to offer a free Grubhub Plus membership for one year to U.S. members of Amazon Prime. Grubhub Plus ordinarily costs you $10 a month and gets you free delivery. You don't have to pay the fee. Last year Amazon offered Grubhub Plus for a year to Amazon Prime student members. Bloomberg sources say that the U.S. proposed expanding its existing ban on sale of advanced chip making systems to China pressuring the Netherlands to ban the company ASML from selling its older deep ultraviolet lithography machines. The Dutch government would need to agree to the restrictions which could cut ASML sales by 5 to 10%. The U.S. already banned sales of more advanced extreme ultraviolet tools to China. U.S. officials also reportedly pressured Japan to stop deep ultraviolet shipments as well. Alright, let's talk quantum computers. Let's do it. Quantum computers could totally break all current encryption someday. Thankfully, we're getting prepared. Really, some people are. So quantum computers are not a 100% replacement for current so-called classical computers. Those are the computers that we probably have at home, but they're far superior at certain things. One of those things is math, and math is used to make sure encryption is secure. Here's a short lesson from Tom Merritt on encryption and apologies to those who already study encryption for some of our shortcuts here. Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to oversimplify. The product of two large prime numbers is really hard to figure out. The larger the number, the more difficult it is to figure out what primes were used to make it. And if you know the primes, you can decrypt your data easily because you know what went into it. Suffice it to say, that's the kind of really hard math that goes into encryption. Easy to do if you know the answer, hard to figure out if you don't. Another way to protect encryption is something called an integer discrete logarithm, also very hard math. Humans can't do it in lifetimes if it's sufficiently complex. Computers can, but it's really hard, and it takes a lot of resources. The largest key ever solved was a 795-bit RSA 240 key in 2019. The same team that broke that also computed a discrete logarithm from a key the same size. Both those efforts took the equivalent of 4,000 core years using Intel Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs. So if you only had one core, it would have taken you 4,000 years. Obviously, they had more cores than that, but suffice to say, you need a lot of machines using a lot of power to spend a lot of time to crack that kind of encryption. It's pretty secure. However, a quantum computer theoretically can do it instantly. The math is there as long as you can make the quantum computer work. You could try making the keys even bigger, but that won't help. Quantum computing uses the superposition of bits to essentially try a lot of possible solutions all at once rather than cranking through the attempts. So you could make it bigger, it still should solve it instantly. Thankfully, though, quantum computers are still in the experimental stage, and so they can't practically do that yet. We do have some things that should go to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, which on Tuesday announced the first four candidates for Post-Quantum Cryptography, or PQC. Those are algorithms that can't easily be broken by quantum or classical computers at all. Four more will be announced at a later date, so let's walk you through these candidates now. Yeah, you're going to love these names, folks. The first one is CrystalsKyber, like Star Wars kyber crystals. CrystalsKyber is used to establish digital keys for two computers that have never interacted before to be able to encrypt their communications. So that'll be the one that'll get used the most. CrystalsDialytheum, so Star Trek gets a little love, is for digital signatures and identity verification. So, like what's used in email encryption, it's the companion to CrystalsKyber. Both are considered to be strong enough and have excellent performance for most uses.  And Dialytheum is also the easiest of the digital signature algorithms to implement. However, they offered two others for consideration as a standard. Falcon is harder to implement and it might not even work on all devices, but it's included for use where CrystalsDialytheum signatures are a little too large. So you're talking about sensors, Internet of Things devices, things that have a small amount of space. And then SphinxPlus, but it's spelled S-P-H-I-N-C-S-Plus, is larger and slower than these other algorithms, but it's based on different math, which is good to have as a backup in case someday somebody discovers a weakness in the lattice approach they used on the other three algorithms. So SphinxPlus uses a hash function instead of structured lattices. It's just good policy to have a diverse number of ways to encrypt. To that point, NIST has four other algorithms under consideration that don't use lattices or hash functions. They'll announce one or two of those as additional candidate standards within the next year, so they say. But this is a huge step for multiple reasons. One is that while companies can use whatever they want, NIST is seen as a guidepost around the world. And a lot of companies want to know their choices before they hop on board. The second point is that while quantum computers can't break current encryption just yet, malicious actors are capturing encrypted data and then holding that data for the day where they can decrypt it using quantum computers. So the faster new encryption goes into place, the better protected data is for the future. Still, NIST advises organizations not to make these into their systems quite yet as they may change slightly before the standards are finalized, which is expected to happen by 2024. Yeah, when I first saw the story, I was like, oh good, we're getting ahead of the game. And it's kind of true, but we're also kind of behind the game because there's data out there that's still useful that's encrypted that a quantum computer could eventually break. So the hope is we get this in place fast enough and it takes long enough for quantum computers to get practical that that data becomes useless because the older it gets, the less useful it is. I take it from somebody who knows precious little about how quantum computing actually works to hear that there are at least eyeing standards, because that's really what this comes down to is, you know, let's let's all decide on some good practices now ahead of time before, you know, we're faced with issues we learned a lot from the last big wave of what we did with computing. Now as we enter this new phase, let's be a little more prepared for what's to come and I see that as only positive even if it's not finalized. Yeah, and these look at finalize pretty soon to be honest. So yeah, so yeah, it just seems like it's better. I just imagine the malicious computer has like the same but the LEDs are red. There you go. If only it were that easy. Right. Hold on, my computer's been hacked. All the lights turned red. Well, away from quantum computers and into the realm of humans, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, the CMA said it will consider whether Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard will harm competition. Is it going to raise prices? Is it going to reduce quality? Is it going to reduce choice? That's the kind of stuff they're going to look at. The CMA said a September 1st deadline for its decision. They could do it anytime before them but they say they'll have it done by September 1st and they'll be taking feedback for the next few weeks from interested parties up until July 20th. Microsoft announced this deal back in January. They still say they expect it to close by June 30th 2023. They're not surprised that they're reaching these regulatory headwinds. They say they expected that. The US and Australia also reviewing this acquisition for antitrust considerations. Activision Blizzard would add games from Call of Duty to Candy Crush to Warcraft to Microsoft Stable, which already includes any Max Bethesda and the 15 studios under the Xbox Game Studios division. That includes Mo Yang, maker of Minecraft. So Scott, you've covered Blizzard for decades now. A half year in from this announcement, how are you feeling about Activision Blizzard possibly becoming part of Microsoft? Are you cheering for the antitrust or for the Microsoft side? I am cheering for the Microsoft acquisition mainly because they built a lot of good will around their current trajectory. It doesn't mean though that they shouldn't have scrutiny and that this is probably absolutely the right direction for any number of governments and regions to look at this and have scrutiny regarding it. Certainly Microsoft's no stranger to how Europe and the UK and others react to certain antitrust allegations. And so I feel like this is par for the course, but also a good thing. It's good vetting. What Microsoft's counting on here is being able to make a successful argument that they're not talking about making Xbox a closed system where now I can only get my Blizzard games or my Microsoft or excuse me, Activision games via the Xbox or even via Xbox, you know, on PC, PC games that are Xbox games. What they're saying is the platform is an open one. It's called the Internet and it'll be everywhere. You'll have TVs that can just play it. And also we're going to put this on services like Steam and Epic and other distribution platforms, including our competing console manufacturers like Sony and Nintendo. We're happy to put not all of these games, but a bunch of these games on their platforms. For example, they are they are no mood to say, well, guess what? Sorry, everybody, but Overwatch and World of Warcraft and sadly, Diablo four, they're all going to be exclusive on the Xbox and nowhere else. There's no way they would do to be ridiculous for them to do that. So I think they can make a pretty successful argument that they're coming into to turn things around on some levels at Activision, whether the European Union cares about that. I don't know. But that's one aspect of this. The other aspect is we're going to inject it with a ton of money and we're going to grow this business and we're going to do it in a way that's platform agnostic. And I think they can make a successful argument about it, giving cloud and a few other things that they couldn't have made say 10 years ago. So I'm more optimistic than not. But I'm not 100% sure this gets past the muster over there because they already are, you know, they're already kind of gun shy with Microsoft. Yeah, I'm curious to because I think they'll be tempted to make the argument that Microsoft owns the platform Xbox consoles. And therefore that that is an antitrust consideration. And I agree with you that the console is not the platform that they own, but Xbox Game Pass is the platform they own. And cloud gaming is the platform they own. You could still make an antitrust argument that they'll have too many of the games. And they could, even though they say they won't, they could lock them down. So maybe make them promise not to lock games to their platforms or for a certain amount of time or or something like that might be expected. But I, I kind of think these will get approved because I think even with Bethesda, Microsoft still can make a good argument that there's plenty of other developers out there that they don't control. Yeah, absolutely. And they, they may have eyes on other acquisitions later. This one really needs to go through them before they do any of that, I think. But, but yeah, there if there are concessions like you need to guarantee to the European Union or whatever powers it be that you're going to put Diablo for as one example. I'm just using this as a basic example, but you need to say to us, yeah, that'll be on PlayStation. That'll be on PC. That'll be on, you know, handhelds where possible. Like you're going to not just say game pass is the only place and our platform is the only place. If they can get assurances like that out of Microsoft, which I think they already want that. Microsoft really is not that interested in being just the Xbox. They want to be all over the place and in every hand possible. They'd put game pass on Switch. They want their app everywhere possible. They want their app everywhere. You're absolutely right. They want their games on every app. That is correct. But they'll, but they'll put it. They've already shown they'll put it. They put it all back on steam that was off there for a long time. Now you can get every Halo game, including Halo Infinite on steam. You can get it in all those major platforms. Can you get it on PlayStation right now? No. Yeah. But I think that there's some wiggle room there. So yeah, the reason they're doing that is it's in their best interests. The question will be if they get Activision Blizzard, will that change the math? Yeah. To where they'll control enough of the games that they'll have more leverage and they'll be able to force people into worse agreements and that sort of thing. Yeah. It'll be interesting to watch this whole thing play out. Well, folks, if you have a thought on this or anything else we talk about on the show, email us. We'd love to hear from you, especially if it's an area of your expertise as we'll hear later on. Our email address is feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. On Tuesday, July 5th, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research and Geneva, Switzerland, successfully restarted a third run of the large Hadron Collider particle accelerator. Dr. Nicky, I must know what this means. Well, this is exciting for nerds all around the world because this run has come after three years of upgrades and maintenance and the LHC is now going to run for four years at the record energy of 13.6 trillion electrovolts, which is just a lot. They have increased many things during these upgrades, including particle collision rates, collision energy, upgraded the computing infrastructure and the detector systems. And all of this goes towards increasing precision and discovery potential for things like the origin of the matter, antimatter, asymmetry in the universe. Intense. So the Higgs-Bosin particle was discovered at CERN 10 years ago, bringing with it new understanding of the composition of our very universe. So what is the new discovery? Yeah, so they had a really exciting week at CERN. They celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Higgs-Bosin and they also announced some new findings. So they announced the discovery of three new particles from the Pentacork and Tetracork family of Hadron particles. There's one new kind of Pentacork and the first ever pair of Tetracorks. And this is starting to sound complicated, but there are basically different flavors of elementary particles that are called quarks. Quarks can group together in twos and threes and form Hadrons. And the most common Hadrons are the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of an atom, which like you can imagine in your brain, I think. In rare instances, they'll combine into four or five quark particles, which are called Tetracorks and Pentacorks. So if you're still following me, all kinds of Hadrons were predicted by physicists and theorists about 60 years ago that we would eventually discover them. And actually in the past 20 years, the Large Hadron Collider has actually started to find these by doing experiments. And I just have to mention that these particles contain things like a charm quark and a strange quark and just objectively physicists are great at naming stuff. And a quote from the LHC physics coordinator, Niels Turing, he says that we're witnessing a period of discovery similar to the 1950s, which they called a particle zoo of Hadrons that started being discovered and ultimately led to the quark model of conventional Hadrons in the 1960s. But now we're creating the particle zoo 2.0. So overall, all of these quarks and any quarks and all that, they help their discovery that help researchers better understand how Hadrons work and because of that, we can better understand the theory of our entire universe. Yeah, I think that is the key here is if people didn't catch it, the announcement of these new Tetracorks and Pentacorks was made at the same time they turned on the LHC, not because they turned on the LHC. They are just having a party. It takes a while to comb through the data, right? Like they turn on the LHC, they collect data, and then they have to look at that data sometimes for quite a while, do some analysis before they can find the signals that they can clearly say, OK, for sure, we're seeing a Tetracork. It's not like they're just looking at a screen and they see a Tetracork fly by. Oh, we predicted this for 60 years. It's right there. Yeah, absolutely. This is data that they've analyzed and that they sort of had this week of events and they announced it just recently. But it's really exciting. CERN, I've actually been to CERN. You can visit the museum. It's really cool. It's a big deal for people who are interested in physics. And if you're not interested, it does somehow impact your life so we better understand things like gravity and how the universe works because of these discoveries. Yeah, I mean, you without the work of these physicists over the decades, you don't have smartphones. You don't have computers. You don't have processors because insight into how subatomic particles behave is what gave us the insight to be able to manipulate subatomic particles. One of the things that I was hearing them talk about on the Economist podcast about this was the idea of a leptochork. So I know we're really deep in the particle zoo now on the show. But the hadrons that you were talking about are the most common ones are protons and neutrons, right? And the other part of an atom that you learn about in high school is the electron. The electron is what's called a lepton. It's not made of quarks. Protons and neutrons are made of quarks. Electrons are not. But there's the theory that there's something called a leptochork, which bridges the gap. And they think that if they can find evidence of a leptochork that they might then be able to unify gravity into the standard model, which would make a simpler equation to describe all the physics, which has been what, you know, physics white whale has been for decades, right? Yeah, the physicist Moby Dick. I really love that. This is stuff that people were working on 60 years ago and they calculated that we would probably figure it out eventually when we had the right technology. And we did. Like, I just think, can you imagine being that person that's like, that's, yeah, that's a leptochork. We did it. I was like, so excited. Yeah, a lot of those folks aren't around anymore, but it'd be great if they were. It'd be great to see some of the fruition of that. It also just hit me that that was 10 years ago with the discovery of the. Yeah, I could not believe that that's been 10 years. Like that. And CRISPR was also 10 years ago. There's another anniversary recently. So yeah, we're getting old. I'll be honest there. I'm a bit of a physics stan. And yeah, we can tell. When I hear them say that we are reaching the particle zoo levels that we had in the fifties, that makes me really excited because up into the fifties, I remember talking to my dad about this. He's like, yeah, the electron. He's like, I was still learning from textbooks that said the atom was not divisible, right? When he was a kid and then the electron was the big discovery. And in the fifties, they started to suspect all of these quarks and things and gluons and muons. And we've been living with that for decades now. The idea that we would be discovering all kinds of other particles that would shed light on dark matter and dark energy and unifying gravity. That's that's incredibly exciting. And it's the extra power of the LHC that makes that something you can even contemplate. Yeah. And once they analyze this data, they're going to find it's in four years, we'll be having this conversation again. Yeah, let's do it. Make an appointment July 6th, 2026. Well, speaking of appointments, Kotaku reports about an update to a project that it reported about back in 2020 that was seeking to find every Super Nintendo manual in existence, then scan those manuals, then upload those manuals to the internet for all to enjoy. Okay, fast forward a couple years, the team, including Arachnus, Buffalo Joe, Timber, SNES, Central, Grant Kirkhart, and led by streamer and R-Cravus, Peebs, rather, has since completed a pretty significant milestone. They have a little bit left to do, but they've done a lot. They have a manual for every single Super Nintendo game ever released in English officially. So this could mean a North American version or a PAL, which would be a European or Australian version, or both, but there were differences outside of cover artwork, maybe some different spelling, maybe the mail addresses on the back were a little bit different, for example, and I just learned this today. Contra 3 was called Super Probo Tector in PAL regions. The team, still on the case, looking for an original scan of the German language version of days before Christmas, days with a Z. And there's a Super Famicom manual section yet to archive, so I say team, if you're still on it, go forth. Yeah, there's a real push toward archiving the internet, or excuse me, video game information and manuals are a huge part of this, but also you kind of hinted at it there. There's so many weird differences in that era when it came to regions. Super Famicom in Japan in North America was called the Super Nintendo. Everywhere else but here, the Genesis was called the Mega Drive. It's weird and a lot of the games had different names as well, again, as you alluded to. Creating this kind of preservation and archival stuff going on right now is such a cool thing. I'm absolutely in love with it happening and I suspect this will happen across platforms and sort of build its way up to wherever we're sort of, you know, what we consider to be modern and still kind of ongoing projects and games and systems. It'd be great to have just a better path, a better archival, you know, archive for lack of a better term for all these old systems and these old games. I am so for this. I can barely keep myself straight. Love it. Yeah, history, man. Archivists are good. I'll hail the archivists. Last we forget, Super Nintendo manuals. Let's check out the mail bag. Tuesday, we mentioned the Chinese carmaker BYD had passed Tesla as the world's largest electric vehicle maker. James and Andrew both wrote in to point out that Tesla doesn't make plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and BYD does. So, Tesla still makes more battery only electric vehicles. Side note, in June, BYD executive vice president, Leon Ubo, told the press that his company was going to supply Tesla with batteries to help erase material shortages. So, that could help Tesla boost their output. BYD makes a little money on top of that too. So, I don't feel like these two are deadly enemies or anything like that. And meanwhile, Toyota is entering the chat, selling its 200,000th plug-in EV in the U.S., which makes it the third electric vehicle maker after Tesla and GM to pass that mark, which phases out their tax credits. So, over the next 18 months, Toyota's tax credits would phase out because they passed the 200,000 sales mark of EVs. Most of Toyota's EVs are plug-in EVs as well. We also got a good mail bag from Comey, noting that the mail bag response from Ross, which was in our show yesterday, mentioned Equinor being a Norwegian company. Comey says, yeah, it's partially state-owned energy company. It used to be called State Oil until 2018. And as you know, Norway became rich with oil, but it's amazing how the whole country is going toward renewable energy now. Comey says, when we visited Norway, we went to see their Oslo building with unique architecture. I had just learned about Equinor building because it was featured in the Norwegian TV series called Occupied as the fictional government offices. In Occupied, when Norway tries to fully convert from oil to thorium-based nuclear power, Russia invades the country and occupies it. There's no warfare in the show, but the theme is timely now. Yeah, that's cool, Comey. Thanks for sharing those thoughts. Yeah, I kind of want to watch the show now. Put on some subtitles. Well, thanks to everybody for being on the show with us. What fun. Scott, we'll start with you. Where can people keep up with what you're up to lately? Best place is frogpants.com. It's got links to every show that I host, everything that I make.

Is faith a gift, meaning did you believe on your own or did God cause you to believe? A pretty interesting and at the same time debatable and controversial topic is this issue of faith. The faith that we have that's required for salvation. Is that a gift from God or did you believe and then salvation itself becomes a gift? Or are they both a gift? And so what I want to do is I want to go to the passage, look at a look at a few more other passages to see what actually is the truth. And so let's go to Ephesians two first eight says for my grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God. Not as a result of works so that no one can boast. So the question is, is this saying that faith is a gift or that salvation is a gift? And then it says verse nine, not as a result of works or what you've done ergon your workings so that no man may boast. Now the question is, is he saying that faith is a work? Then he says, for we are his workmanship verse 10 created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we should walk and then walk and walk in these particular works. Now I don't want to get too much in it, but it seems to indicate that there was something that God was doing that God has a purpose for us being in him that goes back to this question. Is the faith, the very faith that we have, is it from us or is it from him? Well, to answer this question, we're going to have to deal with a couple of things first. We're going to come back to this passage a second. But the question is, is it possible for someone to believe outside of God working in them? Is it possible someone can believe, believe that this is true? Because what faith is believing? I trust that what you say is true about Jesus that I'm a sinner, that he died on the cross because that's what was required for him to shed blood. I trust that that happened. I believe that that happened, that he died on the third day of rose and now he has since ascended to the right hand of the Father. Is it possible that a person can believe that and that not be done or initiated by God? Well, the fact of the matter is that it's true. You can have that kind of faith that kind of belief that's not initiated by God. Now I want to put a big ashram beside that because we see that happening throughout scripture. We see all throughout the Old Testament people having a belief. However, something about that belief isn't the same sort of belief that saves. It's not faith that is saving faith. Now before I make my point and try to prove this, let's go to Luke 8. Jesus is talking about the parable of the sores and he says this is the seed. The seed is obviously the word of God which he tells us and then keep in mind though he's going to reiterate this that the heart, that is the soil, that's the ground in which the word is sown in. Now I need you to make that understand that point because that is vitally important to understand this issue of faith being a work of God whether it is or whether it's not. But let's continue. He says those beside the road are those who have heard then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart. So the word is in their heart and it says that and that's Jesus speaking. So we don't have to figure out if maybe a particular speaker is missaying this or something like that. This is Jesus saying this. The word is taken from their heart by the devil so that they will not believe and be saved. Now it seems to say that they will not believe meaning that they didn't believe at all. But the word that's used here is this Greek word pistosantes which is a heiress active participle that means that they would not be believing. That's a big difference. Voice, tense, mood, those matter when we're looking at especially in this case words. So he takes the word from their heart so that they would not be believing. Those on the rocky soil are those who when they hear receive the word with joy and these have no firm root. No firm root in terms of the soil which is the heart. They believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. So it also says they believe for a while and so that means their belief was obviously according to the passage temporary. This belief can happen by anybody. Anybody can have a temporary belief. Would we state that this belief that they have is something that's initiated by God? No, it's not. As a matter of fact let's keep reading. The seed which fell among the thorns these are the ones that have heard and as they go on their way they are choked with the words and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to maturity. Now here's the good one. But the seed in the good soil in where we say the soil is the heart. He's going to say that in a second. These are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart and hold it fast and bear fruit with repentance. Now that belief that was the one that I would say is the one that is initiated by God. The word is the seed. The word of God is the seed and it's planted where? In good soil or a good heart. The question is where does this good heart come from? This is what keeps a person in this saving faith, this ability to keep believing. And I'm using this word keep believing which is very important vital understand. It is important to distinguish between the person that has a temporal belief. They believe for the moment versus someone that has the ability or someone that's believing continuously. In the Bible people that continuously believe always needed God's presence. Whether in the Old Testament either by miracles by the leading of a prophet by his presence being there or in the new with these hearts being regenerated. Again if your heart is not regenerated well then you would be like the first set of seeds that he's talking about those people who that heard the word and then it resulted in nothing future. It resulted in no fruit being born. It results in them still walking away because the cares of the world of different things that are happening at them. That kind of faith is not received in a good heart. Well where does a good heart come from? A good heart is what Jesus describes as being born again, being born from above. And remember Ezekiel talks about that God is going to take our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh, put his spirit in us and watch as he speaks out about Israel. But then John 1 lets us know that all of us that are born of God are born that way. And Jesus says that in order to be in the kingdom of God you first must be born from above. Again if they know them born from above, born again, born of spirit, born of water and spirit. That's his point and we know that this being born is not an act of our own self. We don't cause ourselves to be born. Matter of fact Peter says that it is God who caused us to be born. 1 Peter 1 3 he says this he says blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to his great mercy has caused us. He caused us to be born again. So it should be clear that the being born again part, that's not us doing it. We don't cause ourselves to be born again. He does that. So the faith that we have that keeps us going, this continual faith, that seems to be a result of God. Paul tells in Titus 3 5 that he saved us that is God did this not on the basis of these on our deeds, but we did, but he saved us on the basis of his own rights according to his own mercy, have so by the washing and regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. And this word this used here by this regeneration, this is the word pala palen genomai means again being born, which is the same term that's being used in John 3 5, John 3, I'm sorry, where he talks about that we must be born again. The same thing that Peter says that he caused us to be born. It's not us that did it, but him, which is why he can also say Paul can save this confidence that he has in Philippians 1 6. He says for I am confident this very thing that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ. He will perfect it. So one as a promise that he will perfect it. And then it's also there that he is the one that started us. Well, how do we know that he could be perfected? He's the one that started us. Well, this this confidence is based on the fact that he has worked in our heart, is working in our heart. But the but more to the point, he's the one that began it. So let's go back to Ephesians 2. And I want you to notice something there's a little it might get a little bit complicated or complex, but I want to show you something in the Greek as well. It says for by grace you have been saved through faith and that not for yourself. It is the gift of God. So the question is, again, what is the gift of God? Well, in Greek, there's this word tutta. And let's go to it. Here it is. It's highlighted for you on the screen. This word tutta, that is of God, not that it's of God, not of you, but of God. So what is the tutta referring to? Now, how we can figure this out is in Greek, you've got masculine, feminine, and neuter. If this in this case is neuter, if the word that is referring to is neuter, well, then we'll know which word is referring to. So let's go look at faith. And then let's go look at salvation. And so if we go to salvation, well, salvation is in the masculine. Well, this tutta is in the neuter. So is it possible that this tutta is referring to the salvation? If the this is being saved or the this gift is referring to the salvation? Well, we've got a neuter and a masculine. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're not referring to each other, but they're not the same, at least right now. One is neuter, one is masculine. Well, what about faith? Let's go to faith and let's see that. Faith is this word right here, pisteos, which is also not neuter. This happens to be in the feminine. So now we've got a problem. Well, truth be told, we actually have a solution because when you have a masculine noun and a feminine noun, how can you encompass both of them? Well, you cannot use a masculine demonstrative, which is what this is. This is a demonstrative that those they those what we call demonstrative. And so if it was in the masculine, then it would refer to the masculine noun. If it were in the feminine, the demonstrative, the this was in the feminine, then it would refer to the feminine noun. But in this case, it's in the neuter. And so the Greek of this would dictate that it encompasses all of it. It encompasses both being saved and faith. So both salvation and by way of the salvation comes through faith, both of those are a gift from God. This part should not be overstated. Yes, I understand that we want to be able to say that it was our faith that did so. But the faith that we have, the our faith really, really began in him. That's why it says he who began to get a good work in us. So the very faith that we have is a product of what God is doing, and not this temporary faith. Again, anyone can have the ability, anyone can understand and mentally stipulate or send to the fact that this happened and trust that it happens. But this trust, this faith that we're speaking of this saving faith causes us to relax, not to try to find other ways to keep ourselves safe. This sort of faith is an assurance, this continual assurance that comes as a result of what God has done. Remember, the Bible tells us in Romans 829 that we have been predestined to be conformed to the image of his son. Well, how does that happen? Well, if it's predestined, that means he destined us prior. He predetermined that we would be conformed to the image of his son. This is his whole issue. I know people have a problem with this and that they'll espouse it as being a Calvinistic doctrine. Well, I'm not a Calvinist and so even though folks might want to argue this point, this is not a Calvinistic doctrine. This is a biblical doctrine. The fact that God does choosing because he knows that people are going to believe have this temporal faith, but it's not a lasting faith. Why? Because their heart won't allow it to last. So what must God do in order for you to have this faith, this continual faith? He has to first work in you. He has to cause your heart to be born again, which is what Peter stated, which is what Jesus stated, which is what Paul has stated, which is what John has stated. All throughout the New Testament, we're going to see, even if we go back and look at the Old Testament, the prophecy that he is going to do so, it actually happens. This is a work of the Holy Spirit and the good news is, it's a work of the Holy Spirit, not a work of us. It's something that we should take joy in. We should be happy about. We should just praise and thank him even more. The fact that he would do that, not that he saw that we were worthy because there's nobody worthy, but the fact that he would do such a thing to us in us so that we can be safe. I don't think we should ever have a problem with that, that we should look for a problem, a fault in God in doing so, but we should look at him because of his love, his grace, his mercy that he showed on us and thank him even more. And so yes, faith, the very faith that you have, this lasting faith, that is a gift of God. Amen.


Hello, everyone, myself, Sanjay Udge, assistant professor, Department of Electronics Engineering, Valchan Institute of Technology, Solakpur. Today we are going to discuss Introduction to 8085 Microprocessor Part 1 Architecture. Learning outcome at the end of this session, students will be able to analyze architecture of 8085 microprocessor. Outline, introduction, 8085 microprocessor, 8085 architecture, question, answer, references. A microprocessor is a controlling unit of a microcomputer, fabricated on a small chip, capable of performing arithmetic logic unit, operations and communicating with the other devices connected to it. In this video, we will discuss the architecture of 8085 microprocessor. Basic microcomputer, the heart of this microcomputer is microprocessor that includes arithmetic logic unit, a register array and control unit. This microprocessor is connected to the input device as well as output device and the memory. So, this comprises a microcomputer. Microprocessor consists of an ALU that is arithmetic logic unit, a register array and control unit. ALU performs arithmetical and logical operations on the data received from the memory or an input device. A register array consists of registers identified by letters like B, C, D, E, HL and the accumulator. The control unit controls the flow of data and instructions within the computer. So, microprocessor consists of arithmetic logic unit, register array and control unit. For the temporary storage of the data, 8-bit registers are used named as B, C, D, E, H, L. The control unit performs all the necessary control actions required for the execution of the program. Microprocessor working, the microprocessor follows a sequence, fetch, decode and then execute initially. The instructions are stored in the memory in a sequential order. The microprocessor fetches those instructions from the memory, then decodes it and executes those instructions till stop instruction is reached. Later, it sends the result in binary to the output port. Between these processes, the register stores the temporary data and ALU performs the computing of functions. So, in summary, the working of the microprocessor consists of, before execution any single instruction, we have to fetch that instruction which is stored in the memory location. So, this has been carried out by the program counter. After fetching the instruction, the instruction is being stored in the instruction register. As the name suggests instruction register, it contains the instruction to be executed. After the instruction has been loaded into the instruction register, it has been decoded by instruction decoder. And then, control unit performs the necessary actions to activate the ALU to perform logical operations, to perform arithmetic operations. And meanwhile, the temporary data is stored in the register BCDHL and the accumulator. 8085 is pronounced as 8085 microprocessor. It is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by Intel in 1977 using NMOS technology. It has the following configuration, 8-bit data bus, 16-bit address bus which can address up to 64,000 bytes. A 16-bit program counter, 16-bit stack pointer, 6 8-bit registers arranged in pairs BCDHL. It requires plus 5V supply to operate at 3.2 MHz single phase clock. It is used in washing machine, microwave oven, mobile phone utases. The examples given over here, washing machine, microwave ovens. All these are programmable devices so that it requires the program to be stored. That is why we are using 8085 microprocessor to perform given operations. 8085 microprocessor functional unit. Accumulator, it is an 8-bit register used to perform arithmetic logic input output and load store operations. It is connected to internal data bus and ALU. ALU that is arithmetic logic unit. As the name suggests, it performs arithmetic and logical operations like addition, subtraction, ending, ordering, etc. on 8-bit data. General purpose registers. There are 6 general purpose registers in 8085 processor that is BCDHL. Each register can hold 8-bit data. These registers can work in pairs to hold 16-bit data and their pairing combination is like BCDHL. Program counter, it is a 16-bit register used to store the memory address location of the next instruction to be executed. Microprocessor increments the program counter whenever an instruction is being executed. So that the program counter points to the memory address of the next instruction that is going to be executed. So the program counter as discussed just now, it holds the memory address location of the next instruction to be fetched. Stack pointer, it is also a 16-bit register works like stack which is always incremented, decremented by 2 during push and pop operation. It is a part of the memory. Temporary register, it is 8-bit register which holds the temporary data of arithmetic and logic operations. Flag register, it is an 8-bit register having 5 single-bit flip-flops which holds either 0 or 1 depending upon the results stored in the accumulator. These are the set of 5 flip-flops. Each flip-flop is assigned for sine, then 0, auxiliary carry, parity and carry. Sine flip-flop is set when the result is positive. That means this flip-flop will have output equals to 1. If it is a negative, it will be reset to 0. If the result is 0, this flip-flop will be set. If it is non-zero, it will be logic 0. If auxiliary carry is generated in the operation, then this flip-flop is set. Otherwise, it is in the reset condition. For even parity result, this flip-flop is set. Otherwise, for odd parity, it will be store logic 0. And finally, if the carry is generated, this flip-flop will set to 1. Otherwise, it is reset to 0. Instruction resistor and decoder. It is an 8-bit resistor. When an instruction is fetched up, then it is been decoded. Timing and control unit. It provides timing and control signal to the microprocessor to perform operations, following other timing and control signals, which control external and internal circuits. Control signals, ready status signals, DMA signal, reset signal. Interrupt control. As the name suggests, it controls the interrupts during a process. When a microprocessor is executing a main program, and whenever an interrupt occurs, the microprocessor shifts the control from the main program to process the incoming request. After the request is completed, the control goes back to the main program. There are 5 interrupts, INTR, RSC 7.5, 6.5, 5.5 and trap. So, this is the block diagram of an architecture microprocessor 8085 microprocessor that includes ALU, then interrupt control, then 8-bit data bus, 16-bit address bus. In this, lower 8-bit address bus is used as a data bus, whereas higher-order 8-bits, that is AD-8 to AD-15, these are used only for the address bus. Here it has been shown as a program counter. This program counter holds the memory location of the next instruction to be fetched. Then, the instruction is being loaded into the instruction register, then it has been decoded, and after decoding the instruction, the control unit activates the signals that will control the overall operation like logical operations or arithmetic operations. These are the references. Thank you.


Okay, okay, okay, one at a time. I was never a user of local muscle moving company. You know, I had my friends, kept saying I should try it, and once I did, I was up. Local muscle really understood my need. They're just so fast and efficient. Why would you use anyone else? Because of local muscle, I look forward to moving day. In fact, I crave it. Where are you going? Moving.


The federal operations units on eight of the Nigerian customs service on Wednesday said that its officials intercepted 15 bulletproof jackets, 15 pieces of jackknives and 20 pieces of pistols pouches inside a Toyota's Yen bus at Ijebu Day Checkpoint in Ogun state. This is even as the unit said that 13 suspects were arrested in connection with the seizure and other seizures within the month of July. Addressing journalist Dorin across briefing on its activities for the month of July, the acting area control of the unit D.C. Hussain Ijebu knows said that 13 suspects arrested in connection with some of the seizures were arrested at different stages of investigation and prosecution. I am handing over 14,000 and 15 parcels equivalent to 7,728 kilograms of cannabis atiba with three suspects, claimants Kletus Oyekachi, a Mordichukuma and Akoede Mike to the officials of National Drug Law enforcement agency. As the lead agency handling the drug issues, we are going to do our thorough investigation and ensure that we execute accordingly. That is why I show our immense gratitude to them for removing this thing from circulation alone. You imagine 7.7 tons, that's 7.760 kilograms of addrons that would have consumed our youth. An interception that was done based on intelligence. Once single fire was no shorter and we got all what we wanted. So now it belongs on us to always make sure that whatever we are going to do, we are going to do it within the ambit of the law.

Okay, another new, what's new at the drugstore video. Everybody is coming out with so much makeup right now. We're glutted with it. I try a lot and I try to show you guys what I have, whether or not it's good. And that's what we're gonna do today. We're gonna do some reviews on this because every single thing in here I've tried multiple times. And I've got the good, the bad, and the ugly for you guys. So hello, YouTube family. Thank you so much for joining me today and hanging out with me today. If you're new to my channel, I would love it if you'd consider subscribing. We're just a very chill, layback channel, no drama. We just love makeup and we love affordable makeup too. So that's one thing that you can look at and always know that, yeah, I'm gonna slip some high-end things in here, but lots of times it's gonna be all about what's affordable because I really can't afford that stuff any more than you guys can. So I'm, oh lordy, it's a cat. Of course. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna get the not so good out of the way first because I just don't like talking about things that aren't so great, but I wanted to make sure I did that. Okay, I got this blush from NYX. It's called Sweet Cheeks Glow. This is the glow one and it's called Bang Bang. Okay, so you look at the box. It looks like it's gonna be like a mid-tone pink, right? And then you get it out. Look at it, you guys. It's like a dark cherry, you guys. So when I tried to work with that, I can't share it out. Okay, if you're one of my darker skin gals, I think you'll love this color. It's got a little bit of a glow to it. I like the formula. I am going to go ahead and try and pick up some other colors that are better because I did like the formula. It's really soft, it's really blendable, but that is just like, that's too, too, too deep for me. But I wanted to show it because I wanted to not only show you that the color was not necessarily what's in the packaging, but I also wanted to make sure that I told you that good formula, just don't be deceived by the packaging.  And I mean seriously, even look in the pan, it doesn't look like it's really the same color even, because it looks like it's like a terracotta red right here. Pretty color, I just can't wear it on my cheeks. And I got a bunch of stuff from the new L'Oreal Age Perfect line that they're putting out the makeup. They've had the skincare for a long time. I got the serum foundation and I got the, this is Radiant Concealer or Corrector. And then I got the powder foundation, creamy powder foundation, and then I got the Radiant Satin Blush. Okay, so the serum foundation, you guys know what I like in a foundation. I have dry skin. It has to set well with the texture because I have big pores. I have a lot of discoloration from scarring in the past, that kind of thing. So really this one, it was okay as far as coverage. It probably gives like a medium coverage, not full at all, not even medium to full and you can't build it. So I just want you to know that. The other thing is I have it in Rose Ivory number 15. It is so, so orange. I mean really super duper orange. So I always had to do my mix-in with it. Otherwise I just looked like an orange.  And so my mix-in medium kind of changes the way that these things work on your face. And so I did try it one day by itself, did not like it at all. Not just the color, just the wear time, everything on it, the finish on it. I just was not impressed by it. It just was not a foundation that I could say, okay guys, this is a really good one for dry, mature skin or mature skin period because it just really didn't work. If you like a very, a very lighter coverage, this might be something for you. And that's kind of the same thing with the concealer. And again, I got it in a really light color. I got it in Ivory. And even though it's Ivory, I just didn't feel like it was a, you know, an Ivory that would look that good. You can see that even on my skin. Hopefully you can see that. It just, it looks yellow as can be. There's just, it just really didn't work. And it shears out way too much. So if you don't have a lot underneath your eyes as far as darkness, this might work for you. But it's settled for me into my fine lines, which most things do, I find myself tapping throughout the day a little bit to get the lines. I mean, let's be real. There isn't a concealer on the planet earth that's going to be completely creaseless no matter what you do, especially if you have any sort of power surges with your menopause. It just, you know, it can get a little bit weird up here when we're talking about concealers and stuff. But these two, I would say pass on. And I'm sorry, but I have to say pass on the powder foundation too. Because it says creamy. You guys, I just did that powder video. This isn't any creamier than any of those pressed powders were. And they were actual pressed powders. They were marketed as pressed powders, not as a foundation. I have no idea how a mature woman could use this if she had any sort of texture. She'd have to have baby smooth skin.   It just is one that just, I don't know. It didn't perform like a foundation that you would just buff on with a brush. Which is obviously what you would do unless you wanna use the little puff that's under here, this little spongy thing, which you could do. I do appreciate L'Oreal's packaging. I like that you get a mirror underneath there. But the only thing out of here I really liked is the Age Perfect Radiant Satin Blush. I don't feel like this is a really satin blush. I feel like it's more along the lines of being a matte than a matte blush. Satin, to me, denotes a little bit of glow. This doesn't have any glow in it at all. But it is a nice blush as far as how long it stays on your skin, and it blends out really well, too. And it's a pretty color. No matter what you are, you could really build it up. I think, you know, unless you were really, really dark, you could build it up. And I'm sure they have darker colors for my dark skin gals, too. So definitely it's a nicer blush, but do I feel like it's radiant satin? No, I don't. But this is probably the only thing out of it that I could say, you know, out of the line that I've picked up so far, that I could say to you, okay, this is a good product because it does last a long time, and it does give a really pretty color. I did, however, pick up from Physician's Formula, the Natural Defense Total Coverage Concealer. This is in the tube, kind of like the Maybelline Age Rewind. Has the puff on the end, which I think is a silly delivery system. But I do actually like the coverage on this and how it goes on. And, oh my gosh, did you guys just see that puffed all over? Okay, I do like how it goes on. I don't like that it spits at you. But yeah, it does go on. It's very high coverage. I did like that. And I didn't feel like it was like super drying or anything. That's a lot because it spit out a ton at me. But it does have a really nice coverage on it, and I did enjoy it. I do feel like it kind of sets itself. So as I'm working with it, I can feel it drying down a little bit. It's not like it's super drying, but if you have super dry eyes like I do underneath, you probably wouldn't have to set this with a powder, which is a plus for me. Because when I do, I end up just looking like a really dried out prune underneath there. So yeah, I do like the coverage. I like how well it sets. It wasn't like it was super long lasting, though. And that's probably the biggest drawback. I am going to test this out a little bit more. See like I'm touching it right now. It almost feels like it's completely dried down. So it must have some properties in it that are a little bit self-setting, which I really do like. I'm having a doggy death match right here on the floor. If you guys are wondering what the heck's going on, it's a doggy death match right here. I actually, one of these days, I'm going to film that so I can insert it while we're going on with our little reviews. But yeah, got the girls down here going crazy. I mentioned this mascara very recently in my top favorites at the drugstore. And I threw this in because I had had it for about three weeks and I could tell that this was just going to be such a good mascara. And it's called the Falsies Lash Lift by Maybelline. I really like this mascara a lot. I have enjoyed every time I've used it. It has that hourglass wand. I know some people really like that. Some people don't. It just kind of depends on your preference. The one drawback that I will say about this mascara is that now that I've had it, it's been like six weeks, almost eight weeks that I've had it, you do have to wipe it off a lot. And that's kind of a drawback for a lot of people. I have to do that with almost every single mascara that I use. I have to wipe it off in order to get the effect I want because if I go in with too much too fast, it's not going to give me length or volume. It's just going to kind of clump everything together. That's every single mascara that I use. I will link a tutorial where I talk a little bit more about how I get my eyelashes to look long and voluminous. But this is a good mascara for me. It lasts a long time. It actually acts like not quite waterproof, but definitely smudge-proof on me. And at night when I'm taking it off, I do find that it's still there. A good mascara as far as it hasn't flaked. It hasn't smudged on me. It just works really good. So I would recommend this one and I wanted to talk about it again because I know that it's kind of being advertised right now is brand new and I really like it a lot. Holds my curl all day too, which is something that not many do. Okay, this palette, the Nudes of New York by Maybelline. I got this very recently too. And I will be really honest with you guys. I've only used this twice, but both times that I've used it, I've really, really enjoyed it. I think that they've switched up their formula from the Little City Mini Palettes. And I really have enjoyed this so much. I love this mauve tone right here. It's such a good transition shade if you're going for a cooler, but you also have this one down here that just brightens up any look as far as a transition shade. You've got such a good spectrum of the way that you can wear your Nudes. So if you're definitely one that sticks more to browns, neutrals, this is gonna be one that you're really gonna enjoy. And I think that it's one that a lot of people have already been like, yeah, this is a good palette. And the other nice thing about it is that they're metallics. They're really good too. I've enjoyed that too. Whereas before, I haven't enjoyed a lot of Maybelline's formulas like this, any of their bigger palettes at all. I've always felt like they were quite a miss, but this one I felt like is a hit and I can recommend that one. One of you subscribers caught my attention and said, Melissa, they're doing it again. And it's LA Girl and their 16-pan palettes. And you guys, the fifth and the sixth one that they've come out with in these 18-pan ones. And I'm not kidding. These are ones that I would think would be high-end. They are just, they're such an outperformer as far as the drugstore goes. Now this one is the Pro Artists Pro Mastery palette, sorry. And this one has more of your neutral tones in it, kind of shifting towards the mauves and the topes and that kind of color, but it still has a lot of the brighter neutral colors in it too. What blows me away about these palettes is that these metallics are so much like the Super Shock formula that you get at ColourPop, but the really, really stars of the show are these mats. They are so creamy and lux, you guys. I can't begin to tell you how nice they really truly are. They're some of the best shadows that I have ever used and I love eyeshadow palettes and you guys know I do. And I would choose this palette over an Anastasia Beverly Hills palette. I'm sorry, but these palettes are not only cost-effective, but they blend like a dream. They wear like a dream. They wear all day. They're not fading. They're super saturated and I'm not kidding. Wow, I'm just so impressed by them. And the actual price tag, hello, we can't, you know, we can't ignore that at all. The other one is the Pro Artistry from them and this one has a little bit more bright colors in it. But again, you guys, it's just so exciting to me to find palettes that are these bright, beautiful bold colors and you do have these amazing metallics which so many people do now, but at the same time you have these mats that are just like next level mats. And I am so impressed by them, you guys. I just feel like the mats in here, they're ones that just work so easily on you. And this color down here at the bottom that I have on right here, this is this color right here. I will say that that color right there has felt a little bit chunky to me so I have to go in really carefully and a little bit more care with blending it out because I don't want a lot of felt fallout with it. But it's still got that same texture of a Super Shock Shadow formula and I just, I feel like they've nailed it. They've completely nailed it. So let me show you those two together. Completely different color scheme there, but either way that you wanted to go, whether you wanted to go with the artistry or the mastery palette, I don't think that you can go wrong here, honestly. And the cool thing about it is this packaging is really nice. I will tell you that I was using that one mirror that I had so much that I actually ended up breaking it but it was like months and months and months down the road and it was because I was using it as my regular mirror all the time. So that is a little bit of a drawback but that is probably user error on my part. But yeah, love these both. I have six now, you guys. And so at $15 for six of these and all of the colors that I have and I might post on Instagram. If you guys don't follow me over on Instagram, I might start posting some of my everyday looks, what I use for my everyday looks and then a picture of me and you can kind of see what I do as far as my look of the day type thing. So just an FYI for you guys and I'm gonna be doing some tutorials in all three of these for you right away. Maybe I'll be able to even do like two or three looks per palette, per video for you guys so you can kind of get a little bit of a different look or one eye and then the other eye in different looks. So something like that. Thanks so much for being with me today and hanging out. I appreciate your support more than you know. Please give this video a thumbs up if you do like to see what's new at the drugstore and I will keep doing those for you. Hope everyone is doing really well. I'm wishing you the best of health. I love you very much and I'll catch you all in my very next video. Bye guys.


This bilateral exercise between the United States Army and the Bosnian Army also demonstrates what we can accomplish together as strategic partners. The United States is proud of the progress of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is a steadfast partner in supporting continued progress forward toward your Atlantic stand. The conflict between Armed Services, U.S., Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn't matter. Today is the pinnacle and the example of what it means to be brothers and sisters in arms. To them, it was not Bosnia, Herzegovina, and the U.S. To them, it was all soldiers.


Thanks very much. I should be wearing a green outfit not a black outfit I guess you guys are very patient for sticking around this long. It's been a long day already. It's really great to have you here It's great to be invited. I work as a futurist You know what the future is this is somebody who thinks about the future basically it's about this it's about what we call four sides it's not about predictions or Precluding things but finding the obvious I used to be a musician and producer as you can see on the other picture and Musicians have one thing in common, which is to improvise This is a very good skill to have in the future clearly because it's never going to go as planned as John Lennon said Life is what's happening as you're planning otherwise So here's one of my predictions the iPhone 10. I'm sure you guys are really iPhone fans So this is going to happen very soon. I predict that it will eventually be an iPhone 10 But anyway within five years will have a dramatically different world and we're talking about really dramatically different Our brains wired together by mobile devices, which are essentially more external brains And we're connecting to each other through social networks. Many of you I'm sure are engaged in this We're sharing videos. We're uploading. We're downloading with stream ripping We're doing all these things that many people don't think we should do we're living in a dramatically different world That is going to change radically quickly Including for example the issue of languages. We will not be having language issues in the near future This is some sound on here if you can bring it up This will actually allow you to speak into a device and have it come out in a different language in real time In the next two or three years many of you will be using those devices to speak German to a Chinese person in real time And this is actually within reach now But anyway, this is Michio Kako talking about how the internet is going to be on your iris and I started again When the internet is in our contact lens you blink and you will go online Essentially a connected iris that allows you to do what you do right now on the mobile phone sounds like science fiction It's right here already with fighter pilots and others and we're talking about a world that essentially is becoming a truly networked society Many of us are doing this of course in a daily level We're communicating with each other and we're sharing stuff and we're using LinkedIn and zing and Facebook and all these places But a networked society means that all of a sudden we're becoming interdependent We're depending on each other rather than what used to be on some large Organizations of governments or banks and this is really the question I have for you Are you ready to be part of this global brain? Because that's what it is now the fact that you're sitting here from I don't know 50 different countries Proofs the point we've become a global village as Marshall McLuhan says and now we're becoming a global brain Creating together what's called crowdsourcing crowdfunding and actually doing stuff together through mobile devices and this is a really a huge human Transformation all of a sudden we're connecting to machines Completely different and they're connecting to us You may have heard about the singularity, which is the idea that we can have enhanced humans I'm not entirely sure about this idea, but human transformation with with technology is right here for us every single day And you are very likely to see things quite differently than many of us have in the past when I was a student We were going into university and looking stuff up in a real library and covering our surroundings of book today You have iPads or mobile devices and yet you're doing all this stuff searching in virtual libraries And very soon as a good friend Sergei from Google says we're going to wear Google glass Which allows us to virtually tap into information through a tiny screen on our eyeglasses Look it up on YouTube. It's quite entertaining. In fact Now the future is going on quite rapidly into this world to where we are able to touch data To go inside a huge amount of information and pull stuff out This is just for us like this movie with Robert Downey says and basically I think the future is really going to be about Humanity not about technology Well, if you think about the technology is rather useless if it doesn't have a human purpose It's a don't be overwhelmed by technology. That's just cool to be cool like as we have with many devices I'm going to show you very soon But one of my ideas that I want to share with you is that I think business as usual is just about dead And business as usually goes for banking goes for travel It goes for insurances. It goes for media All of you guys are getting music from the internet not on CDs or records anymore And you're watching movies on Netflix or whatever you're using I Business as usually is just about to end as Bunky moon the UN secretary general calls it He says the old model of economic development is a global suicide pact This is not me saying this is the UN secretary general Saying that our business model of profit and growth is becoming rather useless because we've reached the end The ceiling right the glass part of the ceiling Patagonia had a great ad in the US two years ago Where they had an ad saying that you should not buy the jacket don't buy this jacket That was the ad campaign of Patagonia the jacket company that year. They're sold 14% more jackets But they were serious about this right you should think about the consequence of consumption And as many people have said, you know if the untamed economy will be called the turbo capitalism That we've seen all over the world goes on which world are we going to have I think we have to redefine growth profit success prosperity and This is really true now all over the place But especially in developing countries that our mindset of the industrial age Which is production and the mechanical age right which is to grow and grow produce more like in Brazil everybody wants to have a car now and You know everybody in India is picking up smoking because that's where you you see all the campaigns for smoking now The new paradigm is to find a new way to grow that is more interconnected and more sustainable not necessarily green in that sense But interdependent So I think your mission is when they get out of this place eventually is to reboot capitalism and I'm not talking about socialism, right? We know that has it worked I'm talking about natural sustainable capitalism as Jeremy Rifkin puts it It's basically a way of saying okay We're moving from this idea of in the ego society that's about my accomplishments my companies my country my whatever To a biosphere and again, I'm not saying in the green sense I'm saying in the business sense that we're all interconnected and networked and dependent and this may very well be some sound please Mission impossible. I had this great soundtrack lined up. You're not giving me the sound here Anyway, that's babe as well be a mission impossible because now we're shifting from this idea of an empire like the Roman Empire to another idea of a network not Facebook But being networked like Facebook. This is happening now at all different levels If he business meeting I go to people look me up on LinkedIn before we get there. I Mean this is becoming a truly networked society Moving from centralized to decentralized to distributed and the future of business and the future of commerce is not going to be in centralized organizations This is a very bitter pill if you already are a centralized organization To change that But now what's emerging is that trust is actually the new money And I would implore you not think about profit or growth as money, but as gaining trust Because when you gain trust of your customers your clients your business partners it always results into gains of some sort Trust is the new currency. That's what you're looking to build Take a look at the GDP curve of Brazil in the US and the economist Joseph Stigli says if you don't measure the right thing You don't do the right thing In other words if you measure money, you're going to make more money But is it actually what you want to measure? Isn't that what you want to measure? What Bhutan calls a gross national happiness factor? This is not a joke This is the prime minister of Bhutan saying it's what matters is not GDP or GNP. It's the GNH the gross national happiness factor And I think this is a good way to live by what actually makes you more happy has turned out more than $75,000 a year in income doesn't substantially make you happier There's a cutoff point to where you can say okay. I've got enough money, but I don't have enough money Of course, that's also a very bad position, but let's think about the symbol This is how many companies and countries and myself as a musician have run our lives You know centred on making a living and of course profit and growth That's not a bad thing. That's the nature of capitalism But let's add something to it I think the profit 2.0 in my view is this making a profit together for a win-win situation and I would implore on you that there is no other Profit in the future because the profit that goes back to this is going to blow us up in Every possible way not economically socially culturally in every possible way So we have to reinvent what this means actually to define profit and growing in society and success is now defined by disruption as you Can see on these examples disruptions with the Kindle of the iPad with this water machine with Skype and Entrepreneurship is now very often means to find the backdoor To find an interesting idea and come into the backdoor if you can find the backdoor like this guy did with Airbnb You guys know Airbnb where you can book rooms with other people that I put in them on the internet Now every major city in Europe has Airbnb on every single street. Somebody's renting a room And the hotels aren't happy about this. Somebody has found the backdoor Can you find the backdoor? Can you do what Sean Fennin did with Napster? Finding a backdoor of course wasn't entirely legal, but it was an interesting backdoor and As Richard Benson says very good saying the brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all Of course easy for him to say right but we have to have permission to fail in this society here in Switzerland in Germany We don't have permission to fail. This is a huge problem for us in America. If we don't go bankrupt is at least once You're not worth anything. You haven't risk anything. I think about the paradigm shifter Self-learning do unlearning relearning learning from the internet learning from the personal environment from Ted Edd From Twitter This is our campaign for the future is to actually radically move our education into the cloud and of course not away from real people as they have here in Korea with a Robot teaching English, which I find rather disturbing also Not to promote burning man here But to be creative you have to waste time my creativity is a residue of time wasted as Einstein said my good friend Think about that for a second if you never get to try new stuff out How how are you going to be awesome? If you don't and you have to be awesome if you're not awesome again Richard says you haven't lived Understanding how other people like you there's a great book called like economics that you should read This is the engine that drives trust which drives success Being liked not in the just in the Facebook sense But being liked and being brought in by others is the nature of commerce and then consider of course Ultimately, don't forget to unplug This is going to be a real problem 10 years from now because we're so wired now don't forget to unplug remember What's real? This is the Venice Hotel in Las Vegas Americans think that they've been in Venice when they go to the Venice Hotel Because it's really good, but it's not real We have to remember what's real. We have to question our assumptions. I have to skip this move because I'm out of time Let me summarize this This is our future We have to stick our feet together To create a new ecosystem because the old one is imploding The old one isn't doing this everybody stick on their feet in a different direction And this means we have to build a new media ecosystem an energy ecosystem a money ecosystem a business ecosystem a government and education and That is of course a great opportunity for growth and for profit and success is to follow that rule as The CEO of Tesco said lead the revolution or be the victim of evolution. Thanks very much for listening
