That's one small step for man. Since man first looked upon the moon, he has dreamed of probing its mysteries. On a summer day in 1969, that ancient dream becomes a reality, as two United States astronauts carry the stars and stripes to the Earth's natural satellite almost a quarter of a million miles from Earth. Americans are justly proud of their nation's achievements in space exploration, achievements in which the United States Army played an important early role. Beneath the sea, men of the U.S. Army move in another alien environment, as army divers go underwater to repair military facilities and salvage costly equipment sunk by accident or lost in action. Astronaut and Aquanaut. Each accomplishes his goal supported by an array of technical knowledge unparalleled in the history of man. Today on The Big Picture, the United States Army's contribution demands conquest of the two vast and mysterious boundaries of his world. The sky and the sea. The of 1969, Cape Kennedy, Florida. The day of the beginning of a new era of discovery. U.S. Space Flight Apollo 11, powered by the giant Saturn launch vehicle, is about to take off for man's first landing on the moon. That giant leap for mankind began with many smaller steps. The operation of the Saturn engines, powering Apollo 11, with almost 8 million pounds of thrust, can be linked to experiments in rocketry conducted by the U.S. Army Air Force 24 years earlier. In 1944, events are taking place across the Atlantic, which will have a far-reaching effect on America's space efforts. At Penamon, Germany, the Nazis continue to test their deadly V-2 missiles, which had brought destruction to England. The time ran out on the third right. As Hitler tottered on the brink of defeat, the German rocket experts fled from the advancing Russians and sought out the protection of the U.S. Army. During their hectic escape, Werner von Braun, the top German missile expert, is injured in an accident. But nevertheless, he and his staff reached the American forces. In an operation code-named paperclip, this important team of scientists and technicians is quickly transferred to Fort Bliss, Texas. By late 1945, the vast open lands at White Sands, New Mexico, close to Fort Bliss, become the main testing site for the U.S. Army Missile Program. As the new technology develops, the Army's White Sands Proving Ground, to be known later as White Sands Missile Range, builds facilities needed to house the complex launch and control equipment essential to the rocketry art. Army ordnance experts and the von Braun Group, most of whom become U.S. citizens, conduct missile testing programs. By assimilating the German expertise and by actual firings of the V-2, America gains its first practical experience in the operation and handling of large missiles. Here began the research that heralded all of our future space effort, both civilian and military. Under operational control of the Army, White Sands is used during this period by all the services in perfecting their missiles. The U.S. Navy's Viking Missile receives its early test firing cheer, carrying intricate electronic apparatus for research of the heavens, in radio communications, weather forecasting, and high altitude flight. Air force sleds use the vast Army range, racing at higher speeds than ever before. To learn more about human reaction to the tremendous forces that a man's body must survive as he is thrust into the vast realms of outer space. The nation's first operational surface-to-surface guided missile, the Army's corporal, is successfully tested. The intensive space studies of the 1950s are a tribute to the work of Dr. Robert Goddard, who had conducted solid propellant rocket tests for the Army in 1918, and had fired the world's first liquid-fueled rocket as far back as 1926. Much of today's space technology evolved from the cornerstone laid by Dr. Goddard, and his contribution as a rocket pioneer is honored by the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, which bears his name. In the decade following World War II, the Army almost alone pursued the advancement of rocket-propelled missiles and space vehicles. For a while, it was virtually a shoestring operation, with only token budgets from the government. Still, the Army managed to continue its research and development until, during the Korean War, additional funds become available to back the Army's effort to keep America ahead in space technology. Gradually, the new technology shapes the pattern of things to come. Tracking devices, specially designed camera, and a variety of telemetric equipment are devised under Army supervision to analyze the performance of projectiles hurled skyward. Each step in the perfection of military missile systems points inevitably in the direction that man will take to the stars. On test ranges, rocket engines undergo prolonged static firings to determine their efficiency. In April 1950, the Army's rocket experts were moved to the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, and thereafter, Redstone becomes the chief center for rocket and guided missile research. Here, named for its birthplace, there was created the powerful Redstone missile, a weapon that was to play a vital role in our steps to the moon. Following Redstone, fueled by liquid propellants, the Army began the development of solid-fuel rocket engines and missiles that could be emplaced and fired without delay. First of these was Sargent, highly mobile, quickly emplaced and extremely accurate. Next came Pershing, big, powerful, highly mobile, easily moved by air range 400 miles. Later, a wheeled transporter is fitted to the Pershing 1A so that it can travel across country under its own power. But Redstone, Sargent and Pershing were only a part of a whole series of rocket-powered Army weapons developed by the Army Missile Command, some like Little John. And Honest John were simple reflight rockets designed for artillery use in battlefield areas. Others, like Dart, were guided by wire and were directed by the gunner. And Shalely, that would become the main striking force for America's armored vehicles. For Dragon, the free world's first assault missile, light enough to be carried by one soldier, yet powerful enough to destroy armor and other enemy strong points. For air defense against high-flying aircraft, the Army provided the Nike Ajax. All of the longer-range, fast-reaction Nike Hercules. Later, work began on protection against intercontinental missile attack. First in the new family of longer-range missiles was the Nike Zeus. Today, Nike Zeus has become the Spartan missile and Spartan has been teamed with a high-acceleration sprint missile. Together, these two highly accurate weapons are part of the safeguard ballistic missile defense system. Shield against low-flying enemy aircraft, there was hawk used by both U.S. and Allied forces around the world. And for the Infantryman, red-eye. A portable shoulder-fired guided missile designed to destroy by homing on the heat of a jet engine. But while the Army's prime objective was defense of our nation, the vast and rapidly growing fund of rocketry knowledge that the Army accumulated was to become America's foundation for the peaceful exploration of outer space. A massive output of data on rocket propulsion, performance, and control is filed away, indexed, and made available for research. America learns more about rocket fuels, more about nose-cone design to survive the fiery plunge back into the Earth's atmosphere, more about self-contained guidance systems that can steer a vehicle unerringly through all types of weather and atmospheric conditions. And of particular importance, more about designing engines powerful enough to lift a man-made satellite beyond the pull of gravity. This Saturn booster, first tested by the Army in 1958, was one of several dramatic accomplishments that would lead to man's first steps on the moon. Several other key milestones on the road to Project Apollo that also took place in the late 1950s. An Army Jupiter sea missile is chosen to put into orbit the free world's first scientific satellite, which becomes the historic Explorer-1. Explorer-1 will radio back data on the radiation belt surrounding the Earth, knowledge indispensable to manned space flight. Shortly afterward, another Army satellite, Pioneer-4, will become the first successful American lunar probe, 33,000 miles of the moon, and sending back more information essential to future space exploration. In May of 1959, America achieves a historic breakthrough. A Jupiter missile launches a capsule into space containing monkeys, able and baker. Their journey 300 miles up and 1,200 miles down range from Cape Canaveral ends in their live recovery, one hour after liftoff. Living, breathing animals avoids safely into the dark regions of outer space and back again. Throughout this series of successful space launches, Army spokesmen take the lead in urging a national space program. Major General John B. Madaris, head of the Armabilistic Missile Agency at Redstone, and Dr. Von Braun, now chief of development and operations, suggests that the country could and should begin a full-scale program of space exploration. A separate civilian space agency is created by executive order of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Many Army scientists involved in the early rocket studies at White Sands and Redstone move into the new organization, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA. Secretary of the Army, Wilbur Brucker, guides and encourages the Army's historic pioneering efforts in the exciting days at the beginning of the missile and space era. May 5, 1961, is the start of U.S. manned space flights. Commander Alan Shepard becomes the first American in space. Secured in a capsule atop a modified Army Redstone missile, Commander Shepard is rocketed 115 miles up and 302 miles downrange from Cape Canaveral for a successful mission. Thus did history record the United States Army's early leadership of America's adventure into space. Then, with NASA established, the Army continues to concentrate on the military applications of using the space environment. Army agencies develop new electronic communications for the growing family of missile systems. The Signal Corps moves ahead in communications research, not only in missilery, but in the gradually developing field of satellite communications for linking widely deployed troop units in the field. As far back as 1946, the Signal Corps, in Operation Diana, had bounced radar signals off the moon, demonstrating that communications through outer space were possible. In 1958, Project Score, the world's first orbiting communications satellite developed at Fort Monmouth Laboratories, transmits the voice of President Eisenhower around the world. A Christmas message that literally comes from the sky. To the men, women and children of America and to all people throughout the world, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Now Signal Corps scientists pioneer in a whole new field of modernized communications built around the concept of orbiting satellites. To fully explore the potentials in space communication, the U.S. Army Satellite Communications Agency is created in September 1960. In the years that follow, SATCOM develops programs for both tactical and strategic satellite communications and becomes a leading participant in the nation's space program. SATCOM's tactical ground terminals consist of various types of radar receiver and transmission equipment. The nation's communications satellites are launched by Air Force missiles. Orbiting high above the earth, they carry important Department of Defense messages 24 hours a day. The Army, through the Satellite Communications Agency, is responsible for providing the ground environment for the military satellite communications program. Deployed around the world, tactical satellite communications terminals can get the message through, whether the distance is across a hill or thousands of miles across an ocean. SATCOM tactical terminals were instrumental in relaying communications data via satellite for safe recovery of the astronauts on their return from space. Today, like other Army agencies, the Satellite Communications Agency continues to provide support for our country's space explorations. At its Fort Monmouth headquarters, banks of telemetric equipment monitor SATCOM's hundreds of orbiting satellites. These not only carry vast amounts of information, but provide television transmission around the world including pictures from Apollo moon missions. Personnel skilled in communications electronics tune in on the satellite broadcasts to check the efficiency of the signal and to make certain that all satellite stations are operating. Control, control, this is TRICOM 85, over. Control, this is 85. Can you give me position of satellite less six, over? Operations in space demand the concentrated efforts of many types of scientific skills. Manned space exploration requires very special planning in the preparation of navigational maps. Mapmaking for the U.S. space program is one of the activities of the U.S. Army Topographic Command. In a special topographic command project for NASA, Army scientists mapped the lunar surface for the early moon landings. Now they continue the increasingly important job of charting space, working from aerial photographs taken by space satellites. Pictures of the moon are projected in fragments and assembled into a large reproduction of a section of the lunar surface. A giant plastic simulation of the moon surface made by Army map experts provided a practical training facility for the first landings on the moon. Lunar mapmaking has proved invanguable to astronauts in the Apollo program. More about how manned equipment will function in space. Scientists and engineers have gone underwater. The weightlessness of outer space is simulated in this neutral buoyancy tank at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.  Some of the space hardware, clothing, and foods they use are developed by Army scientists in cooperation with NASA. The Army has designed a special environmental test chamber which is being used at White Sands missile range. The astronauts' space suits are tested to see how well they can withstand the extremes of heat and cold that are encountered on the surface of the moon. The panorama of space exploration and the U.S. Army's contribution to the program is dramatically on display at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. Man's earliest dreams of flight are portrayed in works of art. The realistic exhibits, activated by visitors, illustrate many principles involved in space flight. The gyroscopic chair suggests the spinning action astronauts might feel as they rocket through space. Much of the research in stabilizing and guidance systems needed for space travel was evolved from early Army missile guidance systems. On view at the center is a replica of the capsule Commander Shepard made the country's first space journey atop the Army redstone missile. An impressive array of various stages in the progress of space flight. Nile stones in Army development of the projectile art are vividly displayed in an outdoor exhibit. This early effort in space technology provided the nation with its first exploration in a new dimension. In devising a body of rocketry knowledge that opened a window into a new world, U.S. Army scientists laid the groundwork for the brilliant achievements of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which they continue to support. Beneath the sea, U.S. Army skill moves in another strange and challenging frontier, as Army divers train for the difficult and dangerous job of underwater salvage and repair. At Fort Eustis, Virginia, the school provides intensive instruction in how to maneuver and work in an underwater environment. A select group of young men in excellent physical condition receives a 26-week course in three forms of diving, shallow water, scuba, and deep sea. The mission of the Army diving team is to salvage sunken equipment and repair underwater facilities such as pipelines or pier supports. The working model of a recompression chamber is used to determine the student's reaction to underwater pressure at various depths. Controlled on the training apparatus create pressure conditions inside the chamber similar to those the diver may encounter underwater. The recompression chamber is designed essentially for treatment of divers suffering from compressed air illness, sometimes known as the bends. A diver breathing compressed air beyond the depth of 35 feet is subject to this condition. Relief is provided in the chamber by simulating the pressure at the diver's original depth and then gradually reducing it. Instruction in metal cutting and welding prepares the student for underwater salvage and repair operations. Training is also provided in underwater demolition. Before the students are assigned tasks in actual waterways, they receive practice training in a specially designed tank. In this exchange, they will learn how to remove a disabled propeller from a ship. Student divers face rigorous training. Only the best can make it through the course and qualify as full-fledged members of the Army diving team. With classroom and tank training completed, the student diver gets a chance to put it all into practice in actual underwater problems. Home base is the Army Diver's school training barge. A student descends to make an underwater survey. Materials have been placed at the bottom of the water near the barge. The student diver must report to his instructor exactly what he sees below and make an appraisal of the salvage or maintenance problem. Analyze the situation down there and tell me just what the bottom condition is. And when you get on to the steel pipe, I want you to go out and check it out and tell me exactly what you're going to need in order to do this job. Aye, top size. Army divers are responsible for clearance and maintenance of inland waterways and harbors used by our military units around the world. The first salvage diving school was formed at Fort Scriven's, Georgia, in 1943. The furnished divers for port construction units in World War II. From Antwerp to Naples. From Port Moresby to Manila Bay. Army divers went below the sea to make certain that the waters were clear for navigation. Following World War II, the salvage diving school was transferred to Fort Eustis. In the Korean War, another urgent need for divers to clear the ports of entry drew on the skills of graduates from the Fort Eustis training facility. The Army divers mission in Vietnam salvaged millions of dollars worth of equipment, kept underwater pipelines in repair, helped build docks, secured the harbor environment for safe passage of transport and supply vessels. A major test of Army diver training was participation of members of the Army diving team in Operation Tech Type II off the Virgin Islands in 1970. The purpose of the program was to test man's ability to survive and work beneath the sea for long periods of time. Army divers brought supplies down to the aquanauts and provided for underwater safety. When aquanauts' breathing apparatus become fouled, an accident occur in their undersea's quarters, or shark or barracuda threaten, the divers would be immediately available for rescue operations. Whether the effort is deep beneath the sea or in the farthest reaches of outer space, it is supported by the highly skilled and inventive scientific team of the United States Army. An Army constantly in search of new horizons for the advancement of our nation.


Let's meet our guest for today. He's not new in the Kenyan rock scene. If you are a real Kenyan rocker, then you already know. If you go to gigs, you already know who I'm talking about. He's an alternative and a pop rock artist from 254 Nairobi. You already know who he is. If you've been following up on our socials, you already know who I'm talking about. He has vocals for Max, you're ready to help me welcome him? And the guys in the studio, ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome for the first time on rock tour, like ever, 20 more days. Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you for having me here. You are most welcome. Where have you been? Like, bro, I've been trying to have you on this show for the longest time. Like, I don't know. It's been too long. I know that, I know that. We're just working on our projects. So right now the songs, we have like 10 songs down. So like, we gotta get back to life. We gotta get back to life. So let's do that. And speaking of getting back to life, before we get to talk to you, maybe when there's like, lay a little bit for us so that people can know what you're all about. And that's it to Nacho. Definitely. All right, let's do that. So example, this first song is one of our songs. It's called About the Money. About the Money. I love it. It makes sense right now. Right now. With this economy, it makes sense. Yeah, a lot of sense. Because everything is about the money in the end of the day. So this song goes like this. All right. You have an incredible voice. You know that, right? Much appreciated. Right. Now for the guys watching at home and you don't know who he is because he's incredible. He goes by the name. Okay, his band goes by 20 more days. All right. So because we've never heard you on this show, so we're just gonna start from the start. Let's just back it up a little bit. We go to where it all started. 20 more days. Let's start with the name. 20 more days. What was happening? You had 20 more days before your first gig. That's a nice question. That's a nice question. So, okay. I came up with the name 20 more days back in 2013. I was working. I was also doing my attachment in Kericho. You know, Finlay's, Kericho people, if you know Finlay's, so I was doing my attachment there, IT department. Man, I was working that job and I was like, the clock was not moving. I was looking at the clock. I worked very fast and then I look at the clock. One minute is gone. So I gave myself like 20 days. So like 20 days, I was like, I'm done. So like, I like moments in my head. So I was like, damn 20 days. 20 days to go. So man, like, I just told him, I said 20 more days. So like I had 20 more days to be free. Right. Awesome. So that's how the name came about. That's how the name came about. And of course, you're not the only one in the band. Yeah. Yeah. So 20 more days is actually a band. So you are, he goes by Simon Peter, but we don't are maybe the guys at home. Don't know the other members of the band. So you can go ahead and just introduce them. They're not here, but they're not here. My band, they are super amazing guys on the bass. We have acoustic, acoustic Anariko. We call him like the acoustic Anariko. Like, he's a very nice guitar player, but in the band he plays the bass, like his hands can move. And then on the lead guitar, we have Jack Muguna. Some of you might know him, a very dope guitarist. Also on the other guitar, we have Mosay. Mosay Stringman, we call him like that. And on the drums, we have Diba. Ah, Diba. See, there's a whole band. And that's what I love about rock artists, because everybody brings something on the table and everyone knows how to play something. How many instruments can you play? I can play three instruments. Okay, nice. How about from the guitar, what is it? Keys. Oh, I don't know how to. Do you know how to play a piano? No, I just don't know.  I should be ashamed of myself. I don't know how to play anything, but I can talk and I can shout. I'm cheering squad, like, I can, like, you know, so I want to talk to people. Yeah. I can help you up for days. Like, when you play, I'm like, yay, you go and everything. Right. So, how long ago was the band formed? Okay, like the original band actually formed it. I used to go by the name Simon Peter Kold. But I remember the first, like, we did a show in some club in a cool called Rafiki's, a well back. So they were like, the next, the next band, Simon Peter Kold.  Why is it, are you been called Kold Kold? Cause it's at night and it's called, so actually the name. So, but the band, I formed it around 29. Oh, that's a long time ago. Yeah. That's a long time ago. And you guys have been consistent and you are still here. So maybe you can tell us, like, before 20 more days came to me, like growing up, who are some of the people that influenced who you are today? Like people you grew up listening to? First of all, I'll say it's like one of my major influences is my mom. My mom is a music teacher and a literature. So she taught me how to write poetry and also sing some vocals training. Now bands, I listened to a lot of bands. Her, let me see, let me see. There are many bands. Okay, growing up, okay. One of my major influences, it was late, okay, late, like, I went into rock later in the mid 2000s. So Likimpak definitely, Likimpak was a major influence. Chester, Rest in Peace. Chester, yeah. So that's a two months. Oh, during later. Yeah. Ultra bridge, Ultra bridge, Ultra bridge or whatever. Mantra mountain on the guitars. Foo Fighters, definitely. Oh, that means you buy them. Everybody knows like Foo Fighters are one of my favorite bands. I'm also into the indie stuff. There's some guy called Ben Rector, Plain White Teas. Plain White Teas are amazing. So there are many bands, but Likimpak did a lot to me. LP. Yeah. Like everybody loves it. Even Enroca is no LP and they respect LP. All right. This is simply awesome. Any of you guys have been doing amazing stuff, but I can even remember the first time you recorded. I saw Pangua Kando. Yeah, Pangua Kando. Pangua Kando actually did that around 2013. It's a long time ago. Yeah, but the first song we did, nobody knows, maybe my bro knows it. It's called Party. Party. Was it like a house song? Yeah, but Rokish, I think I was informed too there. Oh. Yeah. Also you said they make your music pretty early. Yeah. Eldorod people in some studio in Eldorod called Lucky Ben Studios long time ago. Yeah. That's around 2009 I think. They probably know it because on this show you have a lot of people who watch from Eldorod. Yeah. Eldorod, my people. Yeah. I'm from Eldorod. So that's the champion? Yeah. My champions. I mean my champions. Yeah. You know. And then Cheptuneba, that's like one of your biggest songs. Yeah, Cheptuneba. You did that with Spiky. No, no. The one I used to spikes is Nairobi. Oh, Nairobi. You have many songs. I don't know. I think about the money and Cheptuneba are my favourites. That's why I'm confusing that. Yeah. So tell us about Cheptuneba. So we go to Eldorod. No, no, no, no. Training and everything. Like you know. You know. Big out to my colleague girls, beautiful girls, all the women are beautiful. Okay. So Cheptuneba actually wrote it when I was in campus. Yeah. So like it was a tricky situation, but it's about a girl definitely. I knew that. But it was a tricky situation. So that was like you could relate to it. It was real life. It was a true story. Yeah. Like all the songs are all the songs are right from my experiences or my friend's experiences. Yeah. It's fine by true life. We love Cheptuneba. So what happened to Cheptuneba? Why is she now? She's married. Well, that's how life works. That's how life works. Yeah. Life works like that. They say Nairobi is one big bedroom. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, you have a song called Nairobi as well. Yeah. I have a verse of song called Nairobi. Nairobi is actually the lyrics that Nairobi have mercy on me because Nairobi, like the many people hustling here to make ends meet. Right. It doesn't matter. Like you have a million or a million shillings or something. You still have struggles. So like I feel the struggle, man. I feel the struggle. So I wrote the song Nairobi. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, the struggles of Nairobi. Everybody can feel it, especially right now. Yeah. And the song you performed for us is Maisha. Maisha. Last month. And you know, that's not even like this year or last year. I wrote that song in 2014. Yeah. Like, you know, the thing is when it comes to money, money first of all never runs out of fashion. And the inflation happens. That's how it goes. So I thought about it back then, but I didn't expect like the economy will be the way it is right now. Right now. So I didn't expect, but because the song is very, is really, really relevant right now. Right now, especially in 2022. And you know, unfortunately, so without economy, so when things go up, they never come down. That's like strings had to be pulled. Unfortunately, even when things maybe are get a little bit better as it Hawaii shook up. But then so after that, after that song that we love so much, you guys took a height. Like it belongs to hard music from you. The thing that happened, the thing that happened is the corona definitely. Yeah. Like everything was happening well, like we're doing shows, we're doing amazing shows. Yeah. But when it happened, you know, like, most of the clubs are closed. So it was decided now to just relax and think ahead. Other ideas. But right now we're back. Yeah, you had to think about something else.  Yeah, you had a weekly gig. Like there's this money coming in. This is and then all of a sudden there's none of that. So what for you doing at that? It was a hard time. Right? You just know it was a hard time. But for everybody. But yeah, but for everybody else, but you've since learned from that. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. People have learned from that and definitely. But a decision. So I have a question for you that Dr. Ridge wanted us to ask when you're recording this song. I don't know what it's called, but it's from one of your performances. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. I've seen the two. Yes. I know the song. So that song is called Nikiteleza. I wrote it for the soldiers. We actually recorded it. He's being mastered by Nick. What do you know, Nick?  Like he's been, we've been planning for him to come on the show for the longest time, but he's always like but he's gonna come through though. But he's a producer. He's literally the best. So like one of the best sound engineers I've ever listened to. Yeah. Yeah. And he's a cool guy. So yeah. So Nick is engineering it. The song is called Nikiteleza. Nikiteleza. When is it dropping? Probably after elections. I don't know. Right now, you and the killer move to a next level. Like I said, we're going to go after elections after elections. And then we're going to do this sometime, you know. Yeah. So, but you have an event coming up. You get at least things up, opened up. There are things that are happening right now. You performed on or you on the perform. What is it called? Like you're one of the acts that performed on the first edition of Undertale. Yeah. And we have another edition this month. So you can give us the details. Okay. So the event will be happening. Westlands here. There's a new club called Shelter above Havana. Yeah. Above Havana. So it's a very nice club above Havana. So the event will be on 23rd of this month. It's going to be amazing. There are many bands. I'll be playing. Sesame could be playing. Lyt would be playing. Sesame go back. Yeah. Sesame go back. Yeah. And DJ girlfriend. Amazing. Should I do DJ girlfriend? Representing the ladies. Exactly. Exactly. One of the dub female DJs we have in 2-5-4 by the way. Yeah. Like she's growing really fast and she's amazing. And for those who don't know Shelter. Shelter is literally just a former crooked cube. Only that right now it looks like better. Things look way much better. Even the first event was like really dope. Yeah. It was amazing. So what should people expect? What are you bringing? So the event, yeah. First of all the tickets you may contact me via Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. They just DM you. Yeah. Just DM me. I'll get the, I'll connect with the tickets and just DM me. I'll come with the tickets. The show is going to be amazing. Yeah. Ah, dope. We are looking forward to that and I can't wait. So Mesquilla. There's 20 more days. There's Sezmic. There's DJ girlfriend. Who has, who am I living? Lyt. Oh, last year's tragedy, bro. They are amazing. Come on Joy Mesquilla. Like they've been away for a while. But I'm sure they're going to be playing their favorite, their new album. Yes. As soon as it's the first time they're going to play some songs from their new album. Verlations is my, Verlations is my favorite and it's like super hard. So if you love, it's going to be crazy. I love that. So 24th. Yeah, 23rd. Oh, 23rd of this month. Yeah. On a Saturday. 20 tickets for 800 Bob, Ali Bard, 1000 Bob at the gate. Contact 20 more days. Contact me. Yeah. Just DM me. Yeah. We're definitely going. Mox is going to come. I'm coming through. We have to rock and roll. Hashtag has always been 20 rock gigs because if you've never been to a rock gig, then you've never been to a gig.  Everybody is playing live. There's someone on the keys. There's like a bassist and everything live music and they go hard. So you can imagine. And so as you wind up, of course, you have like people you need to shout out to maybe probably the guys you came with and the guy maybe just too much. I don't want to shout out to all my fans. Thanks for your support. The reason I'm doing this is for you guys support our music also like definitely you Joe my guy on shout to you Joe on a shout out to Leon on a shout out to chief on a shout out to Louis on a shout out to Bram on a shout out to Sam. The list is long. So nice. Much love for me. All right. So we're going to wind up. But before that, you just remind guys your social media and where they find your music as well. Okay. So all my special media platforms is just 20 more days, two zero more days, except Twitter, which is two zero more days one. Oh, yeah. Two zero more days. Yeah. Got it. 20 more days. Thank you so much for stopping by. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of time. We wish we had more time so that we could talk more. But before we go, of course, let's move on. You have to play for us just a little bit one, maybe Chep Chumba. Okay, Chep Chumba. Yeah. But you wanted to perform another song? Yeah. Chip Champagne. Yeah. Yes, please. So this is a new song. It's called Chip Champagne. Okay. It goes like this. Is there a little thing that counts? I like the smell of Chip Champagne, the taste of a flat beer, all the unexpected moments that made it feel alive. Slow down. The unexpected moments that made it feel so dear. A prize. So are there the tastes of a flat beer? The unexpected moments that made it feel such moments that made it a prize. They did it right here. I think this is the first time you're playing it, right? Rock tour. You know, exclusive. I'm super excited. And if you want to see more of that, just come to that undertow. He's going to be playing there while giving you details. Eight a few right now. Max Jones will take us on a music break and then we're coming right back.


This is why narcissists create enemies, narcissists are always looking to create enemies by being actively opposed and hostile to people, they're always looking to weaken or harm you in some shape or form to cause you severe physical and mental suffering as though it's their only purpose in life as though it's their only reason for existing which is why the only thing they really know how to do is to assess the risks, possibilities or effects of a situation or a cause of action to make a judgement, forecast, projection, prediction or expectation and they're very good at it because they've had years of practice at manipulating their targets, so they know how to assess a situation and weigh up the potential benefits of a hunt and analyzing the potential cause or risks at the same time, it's like an animal, they operate from their reptilian brain, so they know how to coordinate an attack and they anticipate a response from their prey, predator animals in the wild have been found to frequently form coordinated hunting groups where they attack in line formation, they engage in collective behavior especially under conditions of considerable informational constraints and narcissists are no different, they run schemes, they operate from large scale systematic plans or arrangements for attaining a particular object or putting a particular idea into effect, they make plans in a devious way with the intent to do something illegal or wrong, a system, a program of action, a hand to hand plot because they have to be the one who is successful and dominant, the winner of a competition, the one who achieves a position of authority, where they can be in charge and give orders and make decisions because what they're really seeking is unlimited access to power and control, but they're not really as dangerous was frightening as they may seem, they're not really all knowing and aware of everything, they don't possess unlimited knowledge of where there's understanding even though some victims may see it that way because the reality is that the group basis of their disorder is the opposite of everything that they portray themselves to be, it stems from insecurity which is overcompensated by selfishness, arrogance and entitlement when really they're actually very weak and vulnerable, they're easily damaged and destroyed and they're actually very unaware, foolish and ignorant, they take cues from their target which is something that serves as a signal for them to bring in their performance so they actually have no power of their own, they're just using a fake fictitious character, it's all make-believe, it's delusion, they're not really who they say they are, they have nothing to fight for, they have a false sense of pride from their belief in a separate self, a false character which they use to fool you and that is what they're defending because it is essential to their emotional survival and it works for them because they compartmentalize their situations and interactions, they divide them into sections or categories, they separate them into parts and they do not allow those parts to mix together, they separate them into isolated compartments to where they live in multiple separate and very different lives where they may appear to be a different character in each and one character may be the exact opposite to the other because they will continue with whatever is working for them, so if one character has failed to secure the outcome or result that they would like they will drop that character and then they will rebuild another character somewhere else and they can switch characters whenever they choose to and act their own well so you know that they are engaged in unfair and invalid pieces of play, involving interference with and illegally hindering their opponents where they're continuously getting involved in influencing situations that should not involve them because they're despicable and contentable, they're dishonest and unfair, they're unsportsmanlike, they have no real pride, dignity or self-respect so anything is fair game to them, they consider you a reasonable target to be chased, criticized and attacked, they consider it acceptable to play jokes on you and to member late exploit and cheat a system or a situation, slightly and dishonesty for their personal game and they won't hold accountability for anything because they can switch characters whenever they choose to, they can take up a very different way of life somewhere else and when they do that they may forget things that they've done or experienced in the past which acts as a coping mechanism to a lot of the failures that they've had because they can just build a new character and personality with a different situation and experience which is unattached to the one that they had before because it's just whatever people are reflecting back to them and the new people they're dealing with are only seeing this new character that they've created and this new character is being accepted, it's not being judged which is all they really care about because they just want to be praised and recognized as being good and important but when they're targeting new victims they're looking for weaknesses, they're looking for disadvantages or faults, they're looking for something that people are unable to resist or something that they like excessively, when a normal person is not arranging or preparing things in that way they're not seeking to find people's weaknesses, they're not looking for what people don't do well but this is how narcissists are wired to think which is why they can only ever be your enemy they can only be your adversary and opponent this person who is engaged in conflict and competition with you so they will never see you for who you really are they will only see you for what they can exploit and take advantage of which is why they despise power and strength they hate anything that is able to withstand great force or pressure anyone who is mentally strong and has the power to resist attack which is why they hate seeing you giving orders making decisions or enforcing obedience because that puts you in a position of power which is a direct threat to them so they have to criminalize and discredit you they have to make your activities immoral or illegal they have to harm your good reputation and cause you to lose your dignity and respect while also discrediting any opposing force that is in a position of authority whether it be doctors, lawyers, police officers, judges, psychologists or psychiatrists they have to discredit them or befriend them and turn them against you because otherwise those people would call them out they would draw attention to their unacceptable actions behavior and if this was effective and commonplace in society then narcissism would not exist in the world today because there would be nothing that narcissists could do about it which is not what they want they do not want the shoe to be on the other foot they do not want to be in that position which is why they maintain right to the edge of what society seems to be acceptable of what they know they can get away with and they manage to befriend a network with authority figures and public officials so that they can protect their image of levitation and it's really the only reason why most of them aren't in prison because if you look at their behaviors they're really no different to what you might find in a jail cell they're disordered people they're out of control they're borderline crazy and it's because they're very weak fragile and insecure within but they act like a bully they habitually seek to harm intimidate and coerce those who they perceive as vulnerable and they act unbothered and unmoved they show a lack of concern and interest as though they don't feel any agitation worry or annoyance when in actuality when they experience a narcissistic injury it makes them very upset because they're very envious of you they have this deep rooted resentment a browse about your possessions qualities and abilities to where they can never have a break or take a rest because they're constantly looking at you and wondering how they can be successful determined and intelligent instead of being weak speaking nonsense and lying which is why they typically believe that other people are the same as them they can't understand that you could be a genuine person and you're still able to be successful without having to indulge excessively in sensual pleasures such as bad sexual behavior drink too much alcohol or taking drugs or dishonest or fraudulent conduct or manipulation alteration and falsification that they engage in they can't understand it they can't see how that is even possible because they study your thoughts or weaknesses only to attack you and break you down by invalidating you by trying to disprove your argument statement or theory and depriving you of legal efficacy to discredit you and to make something not true or unacceptable which are all just tactics to minimize you to reduce you to something unwanted and unpleasant to represent you as less than your true value and importance to belittle and play down who you actually are so that they can gain control and it starts off delicate and precise where they use it in direct methods so that it's difficult to analyze or describe and at times may even play it out like it's just an amusing story or trick as though it's intended to be funny so that it doesn't make you want to run away where they've always got to have a psychological advantage over you they've always got to do something better or more extreme they've got to get the better of you they've got to score a lead over you they've got to succeed in being a point move or step ahead of you and at times they may even be lying just so they can downplay the struggles and obstacles that you went through to where you still manage to succeed because they want to break your pride your consciousness of your own dignity to weigh your pride of a particular quality or skill even though it may just be something that you achieve from having to deal with them but yet they want to take that from you as well they want to strip you of anything that you're proud of anything that you acknowledge and recognize about yourself by acting like it isn't a big deal and refusing to acknowledge your value even though you may have done it all on your own and you never received any assistance from anyone they will still find a way to downplay it as though anyone could go through what you went through when they're just attacking your pride to minimize your value they're trying to tell you you're not who you think you are and what makes it so effective by them doing it indirectly because then you haven't even got the option to oppose their decision or theory as mistaken or wrong so they're just completely shutting you down they don't even want you to speak which is why at times they will even ignore you they will refuse to take notice of you they will disregard you intentionally they will treat you as a low priority as though other people are more important and they will play close attention to them and attend to their comfort and wishes they will be very polite and respectful but only because they want you to feel an important insignificant and relevant they want you to feel worthless to change your position direction and tendency to who you know you are and to what you know you've done because that is how they succeed in controlling you by breaking you down and yet still managing to keep you around them by constantly questioning the way you operate to make you doubt your own abilities because if you fall for it and you still manage to maintain and go through it and you're still dealing with them they know they've got you which is what they want because a lot of times they target you only to hurt you to conquer you and break you down and then leave you that's the only reason why they're even there and they will often use these tactics to confuse and make their next victim uncomfortable to make it seem like you're not that impressive attractive or desirable because they're envious of you so that's all they're going after you for to strip you down of your worth value pride and dignity so that they can feel like that this top dog who conquered you they're more special importance period desirable because now they've brought you down they've brought you beneath them and as long as you're around them that's all they're going to do because of their envy of you it causes them unrest where they must act they must do something to take you down a notch because otherwise they can't feel comfortable it's like in London which has been called the asset attack hotspot of the western world they engage in these premeditated attacks are throwing corrosive acid on the victim's face and body with the intent to disfigure torture or even kill the victim to where it may cause lifelong scarring physical disfigurement and in some cases permanent disability including blindness and immobility and it's all because they're envious and jealous they can't keep their emotions in check their feelings take over them aroused by your possessions qualities or luck so now they're out to get you but they disguise it as love away relationship well that's just so they can gain access to you so they can have a better shot at taking you down thank you for watching if you found this video helpful

So We're back to the last and hopefully the most interesting for you session of my of my part of this of this workshop and I already gave you pretty much the game plan before Breaking into into the break right? So now before we actually jump into it I'd like to ask everyone to stand up and go over to that corner The reason I wanted to get you out of your seats is because for this session we might not be sitting in those same seats Yeah So that's a good way to start it out and to start fresh Don't worry. You will be able to collect and move your stuff, you know You don't have to fear about that. Okay, so as I explained before the break what we'd like to do now is To complete our journey from pure theory a Case study taking theory into practice to now really taking you to a place where you can have the beginning of a plan For how you can integrate some of the concepts that we've been discussing around innovation platforms for your own work So to make it most useful It really has to come from you Yeah, so before we do any other configuration. I'd like to ask by show of hands Who has an idea a project? Initiative that they're either actually working on or would like to work on where they'd like to spend the next Hour hour and a half or so with colleagues and resource persons getting feedback on and starting to sketch out So if you have such please read. Oh great one hand to yeah No, not all of us Okay, so let's let's start Hearing a bit about the ideas Actually, I have a one project we are Try to organize with the NGOs because my in my ministry there are 55 NGOs working international and local NGOs I from Cambodia from the ministry of road development so the NGOs they get fun from you know abroad they make a We call a saving for change. So it's a community funds So the problem always when the NGO they finish their approach edge So that group you're gonna be male After the NGO so now we want to make sure those saving group Sustain even the NGO left that would still sustain So now I'm trying to work with the NGO about those how to make that saving group community to become sustainable So is the group can help us how to think about that? I think that'd be nice because when I go back there I will we actually we form already a group a working group with NGOs So we're gonna discuss about that when they're going back. So that's not the idea. I want to Wonderful. Thank you very much. May I already invite you to pick a table? Yes, you can pick your own table. There are advantages at raising your hands first Okay, some other I some other hands were up. Please help me again. Yes actually we have an ongoing project a tripartite project with circa With the local government and then the academe So we have just started the the project entitled Rehabilitation of calamansi industry in Victoria Oriental Mindoro. So what we did was of course the The PRA so we identified the potential commodity So we had identified calamansi. So why calamansi? So Calamansi during the previous years was in which Victoria was noted to be the most popular or producer of Calamansi, but then there came a time that Calamansi was Already dying was dying during the time. So I during those previous years. So what we did So we asked the farmers we asked the farmers Why is it that calamansi industry is already declining? So some some farmers deviated from the deviated from the From producing calamansi. So they opted to go on Other commodity products So we tend now to rehabilitate Rehabilitate the calamansi industry to the help of Shirka and of course in coordination with the local government and then the academe. So with the concept of the IP and then the Innovation platform. So we'll try to strengthen more the strategies for the industry Okay, so I am Leopichlar from Capis and Our province is known to be the seafood capital of the Philippines and one of the major Productions that we have which Is now extinct. It's the dual production or call it as the angel angel wings Yeah, I had this Proposal submitted to for institutional funding Entitled the rehabilitation and I know Registration on rehabilitation conservation of the angel wings in Capis. So The project or the The situation is there was no existing palace is when it comes to the harvest and the breeding season of these angel wings so my proposal is to make some policies and Alternative policies regarding the The situation. Thank you. Please find yourself a table Okay We have we have four more tables left, but if need be we can we can make arrangements So we've had one from Cambodia and two from the Philippines. Can I see hands not from the Philippines? We'll come to the Philippines again in a minute We have collaboration with local government about how to develop sugarcane industry in one province in Indonesia the issues is about how to Increase the productivity of the sugarcane and then how to String the Farmer institution of and also how to Support local government to provide support facilities in order to make the sugarcane industry Have more better in performance. Please find yourself a table Thanks Actually since yesterday we've been discussing on the possibility of as me and my table mates Actually discussing about the possibility of collaborating on a Common project we actually came up with an acronym for it already. It's called alive Alliance for learning and innovations For a viable enterprise So alive I am coming from a livestock agency from the Philippine Carrival Center Rona and EM It's from Philippine rice research Institute and of course, Dr. William Medrano Comes from Isabella State University. So this is a collaboration of research agencies of the government and the Academy towards Very meaningful project on on learning and innovations toward addressing the the plight of the marginalized rural farmers because Based on the innovation platform because anyway, we have similar clients. These are the small holder marginalized rural farming communities I'm involved in in a project of a big program and the project is called adaptive collaborative water governance. It's being operational in Santa Cruz watershed very near here and And this adaptive collaborative water governance seeks to address the problem about water management in that watershed and And so we had the formal meeting formal meeting into in 2014 With the stakeholders. So in our terms here, it's Innovation platform we invited stakeholders and the meeting was led by The meeting was led by our research findings that indeed there was or there were problems related to water but the problem then during that meeting was about water pollution so it it led us to addressing the problem of waste pollution Okay, and so We have followed a platform faces actually and it's a four-phase platform And we are now on our last year this year is our last year And so we would like to continue that that platform not Probably in the next future with another watershed, but this time since we haven't Implemented yet the what we call adaptive collaborative water governance platform We would like to implement that first in that watershed before we replicate The platform in another watershed and so this is in collaboration with the government institution one river council and academia PLB Now the the problem Okay Thanks very much and please find yourself a table. I have no much knowledge for social subjects Mostly my knowledge Concerned with our pure science subjects design. I would like to join this Workshop for a foreign workshop and then after this training I will obtain many updated information and I could apply in my training center and I could share my knowledge to my trainees That's why I joined digs For a bet I have not met more than it's sorry and I'm still learning many learning From you and other participants. So thank you I have a question. Do you want to start thinking about a specific project? Do you just want to learn more about the process? Because right now what I'm asking for is do you want to lead a group for a project in Myanmar on topic? A B or C and have them help you brainstorm and start to prepare it. I have two plans The one is that I I want to leave a Project so that is a stay applying for the grant but not yet Confirm and so I have to lead one project and another one is that I am training supervisor That's why I have to share the knowledge of innovation platforms in my training center So I have two ideas to poppers Can you tell us a bit more about the first idea? Sorry to put you on the spot But at the end people will need to choose which table they come to so I want them to have a better sense So this first project, what is it about? Can you tell the group a bit more? We are applying for the project of our indigenous knowledge management adaptation to climate change Thank you very much and please find yourself a table Okay, so In theory tables are full, but if there's a burning hand I can take it going once Yeah, we have also a tripartite project from Sharka Academy and a local government unit. Our project is rejuvenating the Jackpot banana vegetables Industry in the particularly in the municipality of in Opaqa in the Philippines So I would like to invite the rest of you to join these tables So don't worry. I'm not going to I'm not going to start yesterday's presentations all over again But I do want to put up just two slides To to help jog your memory a bit and to to help you as you approach this task The first is this remember the typical innovation platform stage. We are here, aren't we? We're scratching our heads here And you may be thinking of a goat or sugar cane or fish or whatever the case may be yeah but We want to make sure that we walk away with something that can help you then initiate your platform You probably will touch already on Other elements in the chain They may change as you talk with the other platform members So it's not set in stone But in order to make a good case think about what the focus can be think about what gap you're fixing Think back about tool see Debbie and the challenges that she faced and how concrete solutions came up Try to come up with similar pitches of what your group will do. What are the options? How will you deal with issues like capacity development? Are you planning to do a small pilot or are you planning to do something that can scale? What learning and monitoring systems are you planning to think about think about all of these aspects? We talked a lot about yesterday how to set up and initiate a platform how to facilitate it We talked about its composition Communications power relations think about all of these aspects as you etch out your plan The other thing is and I leave this up for you for you to have is the backdrop, but remember that we talked about five main themes composition and initiation Coordination power and conflicts resources very important when you're trying to set up new Platforms are you using new ones or existing ones? Do you need seed funding? If so, who do you think you can approach to help you make that happen? And what do you need to do in order to convince those entities that this is something worth investing in? Is there something that can be an add-on to an existing program that you already have or does this entail a new? All of these things are things that you can be thinking of now as as you plan this out Yeah, so I don't want to give you too much structure beyond that I want you to have the opportunity to discuss I'll come around and sit with you so we can have discussions in the smaller groups Yeah, but think about How can you champion this? Who do you need to influence and what will you do in the next three to six months? To try and make this a reality for you. Okay as guiding questions Any questions before we go into the small groups? Any questions that you think the whole group would benefit from? So we have one hour before we break for lunch But I'd still like to keep a few minutes for sharing so that you can share with with the plenary So let's take 45 minutes now in your groups to come up with a plan If you like you can start typing it into a laptop so that you have it for for you to work on If you prefer to write it on paper and stick it on things, that's fine as well But do document your work so that when you live here you have this mini I don't like to say the word blueprint because it's associated with technology transfer And we're talking about the heart of agricultural innovation systems But that you have a mini blueprint with you to enable you to go back to okay Great go ahead You're not trying to do everything saying I want to work on indigenous knowledge and how it applies to climate change adaptation Coma in Myanmar, I'm assuming right so you already have a focus around it And what is your plan for the next half an hour? How do you plan to go about this now in a perfect world? You want to end up with a written record? What can be very useful to have for you is a process map of how you personally indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation in Myanmar We have to initiate fast to the platform what is indigenous knowledge and who will be a Company for this activity So we have to talk at first to look at community So the meaning of look at community we will focus on the most vulnerable regions to climate change in Myanmar and Then we will gather the basic information on the historical data on the climate change and then for the And then in this group the local people farmers and head of the village and agriculture extension will Make the activity together so for Here I would like to explain what is indigenous knowledge in Myanmar So we have many indicators for the climate change For example, we have to look at the insets inset. Do you know insets? Assume The insets are for example cricket. There are so many crickets. You will see in the evening. So This indicator well sure The more morning will be very much sunshine And then another indicator is lizard lizard, you know the lizard.  So well change the colors So this is one indicator for our climate change. This is mainly concerned with raining season So the green color well sure very near for the raining So we will decide what will be our focus soon We will be identifying indigenous knowledge So I already explained what are the indicators for the indigenous knowledge and we will use the IK to innovation in addressing issue of the climate change problems and We will identify the effect of climate change into the communities who will be the moors are affected in our regions So for the identity identification of the ocean, so we will have the Documentation what are the indigenous knowledge by this accent to address them? To address the problem so climate change to respond the problem so climate change and In this in this feather this well-contained photograph cartoon mind mapping and infographic Region so the very updated information and very updated technology cannot available. So we have to use the photograph or cartoon chart and mind mudpings and Infographics something like that. So we could not use Electricity in everywhere. That's why we have to use that So to develop indigenous material as equipment for alie winning divides us or for example Bamboo sticker. We will use the very big bamboo stick and then we will hit the very small bamboo sticks or to make a big song so that will be the alie winning system for the Atomic disasters very fine solution for the for this one of you The government that the government and the author authorize parsing in this region Well collaborate together to solve Do some the climate change problem and to set up the policy How well we cope the problem of climate change? So the government will also help us the community absent the community and We will contact the symposium of climate change in every district So we have many different levels for the region So the lowest level is village and then the up level is township and then the up level is Our district so this is like the municipal tease and then the most up level is Country so the most up level is country and the lowest level is village But to double up the capacity to double up the capacity we will practice drills on Thai sister and climate change and we will prepare by using our indigenous knowledge and our Our capacity as a based on our indigenous knowledge Implement and skill to implement and skill app to develop and Standard operating procedure in using indigenous knowledge in responding climate change. So We have to use them standard We have to use them standard operating procedure So we will monitor the most vulnerable regions are According to the changes of the seasons so we will monitor again and again and then evaluate the impact and then we will Set up what will be the best to to Cope the problems or climate change in our desirable regions, so Thank you very much for your kind intention. Thank you very much. So Now there's always a benefit. I said it going first The benefit is that so benefited for much more than two minutes and I was I was very lenient because I didn't announce my Enforcement mechanism ahead of time So for all other groups, this is my enforcement mechanism And after two minutes exactly you will hear this And if you go beyond three minutes that will be all you hear Thank you very much again What we didn't cover and it's okay We can't cover everything in two minutes and you can't brainstorm everything in 30 minutes But one thing that I said I think to every single Group is think about what you personally the champions of the project need to do Monday morning when you go back What do you need to do to get by it because that can be as important as the concept of the project Okay, next group, please Okay. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is our proposal The title is using innovation platforms towards inclusive and sustainable growth in rice-based communities in region, too So we came up with the local name palaya manayon. It's basically rice palay And of course you want our farmers to improve their well-being and of course it has to be done on a community-wide level That's what it's called palaya manayon Well, um, this prop proposal is bill builds on this main problem rice farmers with low-income due to monocrapping So based on our data an average rice farmers only earn 50,000 Pesos a year, which is below the poverty threshold Our goal is first to transform farmers from being crop producers to agrippinore And of course it has a lot of mental interventions there or behavioral interventions second is to shift from production to enterprise driven agricultural Operations in the community and then thirdly is to organize the local farmers into a business entity through a cooperative Our framework would be an enterprise driven farm diversification Intensification and integration. So just to give you an idea of how this works This is basically how it works using rice as the resource base. We can actually introduce a wide range of Possible options of enterprises to the farmers. So these are some of the rice base enterprise options that we can introduce to the farmers First is rice production dairy buffalo production Mushroom production vermic composting high-value crops and fish and of course these are the Possible actors that we can tap. That's all. Thank you Very very nice. I am I'm keep being amazed of how much you can do in half an hour PowerPoint with all the images and everything lined up. I also thought that it was very interesting to see that this group brought together five separate branches of Government entities to work together in the beginning. It was very broad How you were able to narrow it down. So very nice and with 14 seconds to spare Okay, this presentation suggests a continuation of what I had given you a while ago And this is again the project about the adaptive collaborative water governance Okay, this project is following a protocol which is given by this phases phases adopted there are four phases as I mentioned and Meetings have been regular Meetings have been facilitated by UPLB. It's well documented transcripts are ready and We are now using it for another project research Now this water governance the MSc We can say that from the six municipalities doing their own planning Now they have been involved. So one they have been engaged in one meeting Collaborating how to manage the water resource? Before we thought that water is a matter of scarcity, but now we have learned that water in Santa Cruz watershed Is plenty full and it's just a matter of governance the problem about scarcity is about governance but as we move along Collaborating and discussing problems. We have learned that the six monastic Municipalities priority is about waste management and that is also concerned Water water quality is the that I now the the concern of the six municipalities now the problem with the This IP platform is we would like to know the responsibilities of each of the 11 monies 11 institutions Engage now in the IP platform With the addition of one institution, which is the department of the interior and local government local government Now we will be forging we will be forging a an MOA and it will be instituted by that Department Now we would like to see the river council, which will be our Debbie in this case the limas marina Which is the acronym of the six municipalities? Now what we would like to see in the near future is the forging of policy support and Also the scaling up of what we have initiated in another watershed. Thank you Again, I will say other than the concept I hope you don't forget to make some mental note for yourselves of what you will do Monday morning to help Make this into a reality when you go back to your office Okay, who would like to go next okay This is about the community fun. That's what we call because this Credit is a lot of a name different NGO different name. They have saving for change There's a community fun village fun. There are so many names, but in short is the money within the community itself So we discussed with our colleague from law also we come up some a few points But before I give you some background So we have actually 12 NGOs working with us So the total of the saving the video community is a more than five million dollars But there are still more that we not have data yet and the people benefit from that saving is 60,000 people So right now the NGO is assisted in terms of technical Financial, but what we concern is after the NGO finish their project Those group will also know more saving They also divide the money amount themselves and they stop the saving So what NGO asked us to have to assist the the continue those I mean this work so The vendors fishery for this for this Credit we we think that they will be increased our income of the Community itself especially for the household so we will Reuse the informal lending because the informal lending is very high interest rate So the poor people they have no collateral so to buy in the formal from bank from microfinance So they use that money and borrow by themselves among themselves So the interest they go back to themselves. So it's like they borrow them their own money But interest also go to themselves. So that's why we say we reduce the informal lending Also reduce the mitigation Migration because they went to they go to abroad to Thailand to other country to have a job So aside from that is also sharing experience learning among themselves They not only talk the about the money, but they also share other gender issues or Whatever no experience among themselves. That's what we think that is also Learning and of course is also capacity building like they come become a more a series lion in term of financial So this is the benefit that we think that is important So the stakeholders is the stakeholder that I government as Community NGOs and private sectors and the funding we think that is because we also have fun for that We will allocate for fun for that one and the NGOs also so I think this is our Approach we will provide training to them and legalize them as a formal group Also association and we make a guy line with NGO. So this is the thing that we can think of right now. Thank you Thank you very much Good noon For the park and Philippines our project is entitled in strengthening linkages among farmers to government and industries in the park and literally composition and decision of the platform Representations and composition our community is chocolate. Actually, we have five communities. We have the banana vegetables tilapia chocolate and different porous, but for the purposes of presentations we pick up only Study site is in municipality of Inupakan, which has an area of nine thousand six hundred forty six six stars and Repapulation as up to thousand things since source 20,000 500 Actors involved we have the municipal local government unit the academe busy specifically farmers circa institutions institutional buyers processors the non-government the national government agencies the Dole the nr. Do is the DTI If the it's either I'm the non-government organizations target many PCR is we have 35 farmers actually Present we have the 18 existing growers for jackpot, but we plant we plan to increase this number to 35 farmers Our objectives is Facilitated registrations of associations because the Growers we need to register this as their Associations into registering agency the dole then to establish sustainable and viable enterprise establish Sustainable links with market develop the jackpot industry in Inupakan increase socioeconomic Capacity of the target beneficiaries by providing them sustainable additional income source and then the research issues status of land ownership actually the partners in our municipality no land title so Also, they did not own their land usually mostly the partners are tenants the axis to market and then based on the cc's Jack fruit plants has experience in our visibility this circle pay to put a disease so we That is there one of these use Ability availability of supply for quality planting materials because planting materials in our areas is so not so available due to the last two years the Yolanda all of the Municipality in our in their municipality in Niburing municipality in Liti specifically have Planted this jackpot so planting materials for Jackpot is very insufficient Coordination of facilitation some the platforms the process facilitation facility Facilitation baseline profiling to identify them in the pcrs The vacation of industry players Markets and enablers permission of technical working groups identification of the study sites stakeholders meeting discuss the objectives of the inhibition platforms Understand the agenda of each stakeholders have become understanding the core institutions and issues but In coordination of presentations of the platforms we conduct a small group of meetings In Territory process to have a great understanding on the situations. I identify the constraints purely formulate Alternative practical solutions to address the problems engaging other players and enablers create link with market and Procedures coordinate and top government line agencies that called assist in improving the value chain of jackpot in the area Coordinate and co-operate with the local government unit to review some existing projects related to What we will be doing and for monitoring and evaluation to sustain the operations, especially after the inline course of the project That's all. Thank you and And what you can see is that when you try to apply this to existing projects you can very quickly Drill down a lot of details So once you actually bite into your project, you know, you can really flesh this out Our program is about innovation platform for improving performance the sugarcane industry development in Gorontalo One of central production Of sugarcane in Indonesia. This is the condition of sugar production in Indonesia the area and the yield tend to Decrease and then in other side the sugar consumption projection projection Describe that the condition is tend to Increase so we should Provide some program to fulfill the gap Between the consumption and the production. This is the approach we We have to increase the sugar pro production in Indonesia we have to program in existing area and by Extensive Sensification way and the strategic step in accessing area is about private sugar mill optimization budget for state ownership sugar mill and the other is to increase productivity and sugar content and We still face some problem in to increase productivity and sugar sugar content in the Farmers group This is the element of our program We define that if we want to make our program success, we should Make sure the element Provide well we should define well about the target group Locational factor policy focus and synergy sustainability governance and process management and we focus in one of our Problem about the target group. This is the mapping situation Existing condition about the composition initiate initiation Not all stakeholders involved in the forum only dominant farmer Initiation a come from the government and not all participants were actively Involved in the program we expect in the future all stakeholders will be involved and based on for our farmer problems And all the participants collaborate actively and increase the sense of belonging of the program For the issues of coordination and facilitation of the platform the excess condition the program the coordination facilitation and the platform is a top-down approach and Linear approach we expect in the future. It will pass this see battery communication About the resource and incentive the existing condition limited incentive and then the expected is Government and other stakeholders will provide more resources in and incentive about the monitoring and evaluation not Existing condition of monitoring and evaluation not in substantial aspect just formality aspect and we we need holistic monitoring and evaluation so our Program is how we can revert the lies assisting a forum toward the effective innovation platform in the short term we want to evaluate and Identify the stakeholder and the problems in the existing Forum and in the long term we want to develop capacity formulate the solution and implement innovation Platform we want to develop. I think that's all we want to share. Thank you. Thank you very much So that experience was a bit intense, huh? The whole day and a half well this brings the end to my my part of the the workshop it's been a Quite challenging Getting all of this content in such a short amount of time But you've really done a fantastic job in facilitating with and enduring all of what I've dished out especially yesterday, but I hope that The sessions this morning which allowed you to look at it from both from a case study perspective and take it from theory into practice and now to start etching out how you will apply it in your own context Will actually be useful for you as you move forward and that will be able to use these material and these concepts going forward I'll email you again some more links and background information and you have my contacts as well So you can always reach out if there are any questions And other than that, I'll thank you again for your active participation and wish us all a nice lunch Thank you very much


And obviously it wasn't perfect, and we need to break through. But the one thing about our guys, no matter what has happened, we've had a chance last play to go win it. And we'll continue to grow. And certainly, you go through these things, it's painful to lose like that in one possession. But we had the right mindset. We'll grow, and we'll get better. And we've got a lot, a lot of football ahead of us. And we've got another big challenge next week. But these guys, they fight the resilient. Like I said, it wasn't perfect, D-Led. But I was really proud of these guys, a lot of the young guys. You just never give up on it. Even when it looks like they converted with Cup on the one, be able to punch the ball out, the block punt, all the big plays, knowing you're never out of the fight. And we had a chance at the end. And obviously they made a play down there. And even so, we got off the field and at least had a shot out of Hail Mary. The numbers, and I don't know what else is going on, but Kyle Pitz is. Yeah, Kyle's a huge part of our offense. And I know the thing is, he's just got to take it with context. It's the same thing, we're trying to win. And he has a huge impact on the game. And so that's a really good front, and certainly probably the most dominant interior pass rusher in the last decade. And so when you're sitting there using different things to try to stay on track because the guy can be a nightmare, and Kyle's such an important piece. And the ball, we go after him or he's targeted, and other guys made plays. So it's like a perfect example. You target him on one. And if they cover him or they account for him, and then Hodge comes in there and makes a big play. It happened a few times, things like that. It's not fantasy football. We're just trying to win. And we'll continue to look at everything and try to get better. You had the personnel routine. So there was specifically D-Marlow coming in for jail and Hawkins, and also usually Troy Anderson, really. I don't know what it was specifically about. Well, I think it's important. We got a lot of guys that can help us. And like I said, it's a long season. I mean, it's not where we want to be. We've seen progress. And we're certainly not celebrating moral victories. But if somebody's guys need to play, we need to use everybody because it's a long season. And when you're able to play more guys, and then you can create more packages, and we'll use it. And then when the put 48 guys up, you want everybody to have a job. You don't see safety's getting taken off the open ground. You've done it in the past for one series. D-Marlow was the entire second half. Did you have to go with Jalen's performance? No, it's not that. Some things are working. And sometimes you may rate a rotation.  It's nothing against Jalen. And we've got a lot of good players. I mean, I know you got to ask those things, but we value versatility. And we roll a lot of guys through them. Same thing on offense. Because we're not playing fantasy football. We're playing to try to win a game. That's a challenge. That's a good football team. And Stafford does a good job, especially made some really nice throws and trying to pick your poison. You come out from them. You can make your pay. And if you keep in front of them, they bled it out. I mean, it was a pretty fast game until the last quarter. You get to pick right before half and go forward. And then it comes back. Kanbuma ranked on you, but, you know, situationally, what can you all take forward from that? And then, you know, maybe get that stopped. Yeah, you know, we took the shot, right? And got the penalty. And you're right on the fringe of field goal range. And we had a miscommunication on one. Over there, we got to get cleaned up. And then that third down one, I mean, the ball, it's just way to bounce it sometimes. We'll continue to go out for CP every time. You know, make that play next time.  I made enough plays and gave us a chance, right? I mean, you have two touchdown passes today.  And then the one at the end, you know, it's dealing over the top. You got a chance on that. And there's things we'll look at and clean up, but he's operating pretty well for us right now. Brandon, what are you talking about in the first half? Where do things go wrong?   It's not like some tragedy. I mean, it's a four-quarter game. There's things we got to clean up. Some of the communication was a little bit louder down there. You know, we anticipated we got to clean some of the pre-snaps up. I mean, that's the stuff. You take the first drive, we have one punt, and they have, coming out, how many puns do we have? I can't remember. I don't want to say the wrong thing. You know, and both teams, I mean, the clock went pretty good, and then they were trying to run the ball. We started to stay on track. You know, first drive, we came away with nothing. I believe we had the penalty, and then the miscommunication to let Wagner free. And it's like a combination of bad events, and then we missed the kick. And the things, we'll look to clean up. Was any of that a function of the way you guys had any of them defensively? Yeah, I mean, pick your poison. You know, a lot of things underneath, and a lot of their immediate routes to cup, and you play on top. I mean, that's what happens when you're playing, gets one of the better quarterback, receiver, Tandems in the league, and they do a good job. And so, obviously, we didn't make enough plays, but the game plan gave us enough, and guys kept grinding out, and we had a shot, we had a shot twice. We shot in the red zone, they got picked by Ramsey, and then Hailmere. They matter.  So that one, you take it with a grain of salt there. You know, we missed the third down, and then you let the drive continue. They got the pick on the one end, I believe it was third and 13, wasn't it? So that's two of them right there. Yeah, it's, I mean, there's always, right?  Draft picks played a lot this, today, was that encouraging for you the way they were? Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of our young guys.  We got guys in there coming along, so, but it's everybody. I mean, we guys made plays late and gave us a shot. What's that? What do you mean, Mr. Creese? Well, it's way his wire, it's why we took him. We had a lot of conviction about the player. He's, again, it's not perfect. There's things that we got to clean up with him, but you know, they're going to sit there and pack the, pack the middle, so focused on the run or Kyle, and we moved Kyle around. I mean, that's how we got the shot late and they grabbed him. I mean, excuse me, before the half and continued to move Kyle around, but they gave us some access over there, so picked your poison and he's a big physical player and he'll continue to get better. What do you guys draft? Absolutely. I can't shoot away. And that's a lot in the pro football game when you got two good teams that are swinging, you know? So the thing I was proud about our guys and then obviously we need to win, but you know, you get on the road like this and a team that we knew we were going to get their best shot and they were focused, they were dialed in, they made sure they were very, very protective of Matthew and they had a good plan. And you know, we just, the focus gave us an opportunity and Troy, Troy's an explosive athlete. I mean, you could, I mean, he got there in a hurry and we did a good job picking the ball up and scoring and we went for two, which puts more pressure on you, right?  Now the pressure's all on the playcaller, you're coming back, now you're only up six. They know what touchdown once it, they convert the third down and ever out of the fight, Darren popped it out, I believe, right? And then we put together a little bit of string of plays and they picked us on third down. Thank you. For the W at the end here. Yeah, at the end of the day, you know what, we got a great group of guys that have a lot of fight, that have the mentality just to continue to take it one play at a time. This league is weird, man. You're going to find yourself in these close games. We just got to do a better job of finding ways to win them. I asked coach Smith to, you know, people say the targets for Kyle, I want to know, but I just think you can just throw it to him. Could you explain, you know, why he may have been just getting the three targets? Cause I guess something's happening to move you somewhere else. Yeah, you know, week in and week out, it's going to, it's going to depend, right? You know, they did a good job. There's a couple of moments where they're doubling him. There's a couple of moments, you know, just the way that the game flows and where he's going to get his targets, he's going to find the ball. The ball will come to him. It's just these first couple of weeks, it just hasn't happened that way. He gets a touchdown today, but what does his play like? What was his play like for you all today? I guess Hodge too, he made some big plays for you in the passing day. Yeah, they both are great. That room has been awesome. You know, Drake, and he's going to continue to learn. He's going to continue to grow, but he's, I mean, he's done a great job for us. And you know, with that being said, you know, we've got to continue to find ways to spread the ball around because I think we've got a great group. I was trying to let them jump in here. But yeah, so what did coach say to the team? How do y'all try to move forward? It's a tough one. I know you know the O and 2 stat, but you know, what do y'all take from these two to try to build for next week going into Seattle? When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, we just got to focus on, you know, it's a play here, it's a play there. You know, it's just kind of the, what happens in this league. With that being said, I think it's good for us to stay out here, being on the West Coast, being all together. You know, and it's what it's about. We'll find ways to all improve. We'll all continue to get better. But to be out here together, I think it's going to be great for us. And we are wondering if you can say to the team, kind of set the theme for, you know, just the rest of the trip. Yeah, I think just flush it and you know, we can take the good and the bad. Don't be afraid to look at yourself critically and get better from it. You know, at the end of the day, if we can just stack these days and put four quarters together, I think we'll be a good team. I don't have the numbers, but you know, you had the big week last week. What did they do to kind of slow that down and take it away a little bit at times? Yeah, I think they did a good job of, you know, changing some looks. I got to do a better job of getting us in better place.  And they did a good job and you know, we'll correct some things. But you know, at the end of the day, we hang our hat on what we do up front. And you know, I continue to believe in those guys and what we're doing. And the first drive, you get down to six, get the penalty and Wagner gets free. Is that a protection? Somebody didn't slide or, you know, I know y'all plan on blocking. No doubt, no doubt. And that's on me. I got to do a better job of communicating that across the board. You know, I think kind of throughout the game, I could have done a better job operationally and just communicating with the guys so that everybody's on the same page to keep it.  There's only so many guys that get to play this game. And to catch your first one, I think it's important to have it. It's such a milestone, right? You work your whole life to get to this point. So I can remember when I threw my first touchdown that one of the veteran guys picked up the ball for me. And I just thought about that in that moment for a young rookie just to kind of have a milestone so that he can look back on it and just find that opportunity just to reflect. So I thought it was important. Thank you guys. Thank you. What does it say about the team you fall down but you find a way to put something together and fight back and throwing into the end zone at the end here?  You know, we dug ourselves in the hole early and we fought back and we climbed and crawled back. So this team's not going to quit and I'm proud of those guys for that. And I know each and every week we're going to go out in there and put our best foot forward.  How, you know, frustrating is that when they're getting the yards after the catch and so forth?  So we were playing zone credit to them. They found it exploded it. They just kept sitting in those zones and you know, when you got closer and closer at the end, we were able to start playing a little bit more matchy, you know, go get those. We still, the calls are great. We just got to execute a little bit better. And your pick, what did you see on that one? Well, you're just me and Rashawn had the back. The back went to Rashawn. So I was able to just zone up and read back to his eyes and he was looking that way. So I pushed over and I was lucky he was able to get my arm on the ball. Is that helpful in terms of keeping people fresh? Is there any part of it that keeps you from getting into a rhythm? Yeah, I mean, I think it's healthy.  So I think it's just getting everybody fresh, making sure everybody's ready to try to do the job.  So I think it's a good consideration they're doing that. Two weeks and two games that have been a little bit of everything in each game. How does this team feel, you know, heading into a week or heading out of here? I mean, we shouldn't know when to. So we're not going to feel the best, but at the end of the day, like, we know what we're capable of. I mean, this team, I think we've shown, we've shown flashes of what we can be. So, I mean, we're all excited. We all know what we have to do. We just got to go out there executing at the job done. I play great. I mean, that's the guy, I'm high on him.   Anything else? All right. Thanks, Mark.
