President Bola Ahmed Tinobu is touted as one of the most sagacious when it comes to money management and by extension growing the economy, having grown the economy of Lego states in leaps and bounds. With Nigeria's economy in shambles according to experts, what is the future under a new presidency led by Bola Ahmed Tinobu? We'll be looking at that today on The Breakfast. We'll also be taking a look at headlines and some national delays and all the press where we have someone join us to analyze them. Very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on The Breakfast. My name is Snyambu. And I am Maureen. Good to have you join us on this new beginning of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You're welcome. Today we'll be looking at various issues, mostly political and what concerns us as a nation. But our theme has not changed from what it usually is because Tuesday we zero in on technology. So we'll be having as a team of the day, has technology made us smarter or dumber? Has technology made us smarter or dumber? That's the question we'll be attempting to answer today. But at least we'll have you think it in your heart as we go along on the show. Yeah, there's been lots of questions raised about technology. Concerns raised about not just whether it has made us dumber or more intelligent, but whether we can control technology in the future. Founding fathers of technology have raised those concerns. We've talked about it a bit in the past. And being technophile Tuesday, we have raised some of these questions. How is technology impacting our lives? One of the experts, like you mentioned, said that if AI, which a lot of them are withdrawing from now because they think it's dangerous. If AI is given the attention that they want to give it right now and nothing seriously is done to control it well, people may use it to kill others. So it might become so dangerous that you cannot, because you cannot send assassins anymore.  Because if you can afford it, maybe your own AI will fight. I don't even know how that is. But something must be done to either stop it or put measures in place that can control it. Yes. Do you know that the leader of Bahrain now has a bodyguard that's a computer. It's a huge giant robot. I think it's costing them about $15 million. Huge. I need to see him. And so they're saying, the person who posted that on the group that I belong to said, well, Andrea, I see you're talking about these and that. Look at where the world is going right now. But yes, there are huge concerns about the information technology that we're getting absorbing and patronizing. How safe are they and how lazy have they made us? Do you read without the use of spell checks? Do you write without the use of spell checks? Can you write a letter right now or send an email right now? On your own without using your spell check to confirm what you've written. So those are some of the issues you need to ponder. And that should also make us embrace hard copy. We've left hard copy. A lot of people have abandoned hard copy. Novels, books, newspapers and things that either to challenge our intelligence. And we have become a little bit more relaxed. Yes, they help. They help. They make things faster and all of that. But let's not lose our strength to these computers. Like let's say sometimes when something comes too fast, it goes too fast as well. A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. So you take something, I teach a lot of students and when I ask them to maybe get something like a dictionary because if I'm teaching them how to talk and all that, I ask them to get a special dictionary. And they say, why can't we just download it from the Internet? And I say, no, I insist that it has to be a hard copy. Because when you have a soft copy, you just go there, you press it, maybe it pronounces it for you.  You don't even know where to start from, how to transcribe or how to write it out and all that. You don't know that because you didn't have that discipline to learn it. You just wanted the computers to do it for you, but it wouldn't always be there.  You don't know how to do it. Let me go to the phone. You can't find it in the phone. So Google Translate is your friend. What are you going to do? So I insist on hard copy and hard copy is really, really interesting. It is, because even though Google Translate would help you give you the sound.  It'll be easier for you to be able to break down the different, you know. So it's important to not let go of what we have because of what we are getting from computers. I watch movies. I don't know if you watch movies as well. But if I compare the time I was only getting the stories from the hardly chases of this world and the cutters of this world, the novels and the movie, there seemed to be something really missing. I don't know where that is because in the novel you don't miss any single thing because it is you at your own pace and your own time that you read it and you absorb it differently from how you're watching the movie. Movies are fine, yes. But the experience of novels, the hard copy novels, is something else. Of course, you can't compare novels and movies. You can't compare them. They are two different things and it is beautiful. Well, technology for you, I'm going to bring back my word, balance. Because technology is good. It's helping us, making things easier, making life easier and making things faster. Yet, there are some values that we had before the use of this technology before the help and assistance of this technology that we must not throw away. Otherwise, it would be the worst for it. One of them was friendship, physical friendship. Now, there are a lot of people who have millions of followers but they really don't have friends. You're just there until you really have a friend. You would know the difference between just having an internet friend and a real physical friend that will be there for you. And at the end of the day, in all age, all of us, what we will really need is companionship, nothing else. So if you don't build that companionship right now because you're concentrating on the followers everybody is talking about self. It's myself. You have to love myself. Everybody is now becoming selfish, nothing like Community Live anymore because we have everything at the palm of our hands. We have people deliver food to us, we have people deliver clothes to us and everything will just sit in our houses and some people even work from the comfort of their houses. So no more exercises, no more anything.  There's a point you can get too comfortable and it's not good for everyone. You know you read some very current points there, these virtual friendships. It's made people, and that's why a lot of them who depend so much on these virtual friendships become very sensitive. They are the ones that easily suffer from cyberbullying because maybe one or two of their friends online who used to like them and click like and all of that suddenly says, oh you're getting too fat or you're doing that and they get depressed. The person that liked me, that clicked my abundant, is now telling me I'm this and then they get depressed and you know it's not a way to live. It's not a way to live and as you've said also, people are becoming too much into myself. Yes, yes.  Too sensitive. Women are becoming too sensitive. Men are becoming too sensitive. Whilst I have nothing against feminists and those who are into women liberation, I think sometimes women now whine too much.  And then you find men feeling easily irritated. They feel their masculinity is being challenged. People, everything is now being tagged one thing or the other. And that's why sometimes I wonder if we're not over-emphasizing on this mental health thing where everything is a problem. Everything is a cause of problem. Everything shouldn't be a cause of problem. I give you an instance, you see there was a time someone was trying to insult me and he called me village man. And I laughed and said thank you. And he was infuriated like you don't even know when someone is insulting you. And I was like okay, how is that an insult that you reminded me that I have roots because that's how I interpreted it. But that showed me that if I had told him that, he would have fled up and like say that I'm insulting him. How is that even an insult?  I'm a village man, I like it. And it reminded me that there are things I'm missing from the village because I used to, I grew up in the village, I know what I enjoyed and I compare that to the town, it's just that I have to be in town. So it's not an insult. It's not everything that should be interpreted like someone is trying to insult you. If you tell me now that I'm black, I wouldn't first of all think it is racist. Even if you're white, you're pink, you're whatever color. I wouldn't think of it as racist. You're just stating the truth. I am black. You tell me I'm a man. I wouldn't say because people are non-binary, people are disdainful, so many things are coming up, things that a few years ago would lead you to a psychiatric ward. Now there are rights. Everybody is just talking about it.  Very important. That friendship, that human connectivity, that communality, that communal life that we used to have where people sit down and laugh and crack jokes and just make fun of one another. I think we're taking ourselves rather too seriously these days. Yeah, I think so too. I think that's just it. We're taking ourselves too seriously these days and it's a cause for worry. It's a cause for worry, my sister. Well, technology also, because of technology, yesterday pronouncements was made, today we're feeling the impact already and I hope something will be done very, very fast. Yesterday was the swearing-in of Asiwajubola Ahmed Tinobu. He has become our president, the 16th president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria right now and he made a pronouncement or he made a revelation rather that the... Subsidy? Yes. He started by saying the budget that I was given, I am told, that there was no provision for subsidy. So, as of now, subsidy is removed. It's gone. Yeah. So today you go to the roads, vehicles that were carrying you for 500 Naira, or they are carrying for 800, some are carrying for 1000 Naira, because they do not even know whether there's a direction. If subsidy has been removed, will there be palliatives? Will there be some other measures that will make sure that people don't suffer for it? Feeling stations are shutting down right now. They have not shutting down. They have shut down in Yangon. You need to see the queues, the fuel stations are horrifying, I must say. So, people are receiving this news about subsidy with mixed feelings. While some are excited that, yes, finally, let's get to know what it is. Because today you hear that we are subsidizing, tomorrow here we're not subsidizing.  And so it became a whole lot of mess. We weren't sure exactly what it was.  So that pronouncement was something that a lot of people welcome because, yes, maybe it will bring some level of transparency in that sector. But then some are saying that perhaps the new president should have at least made sure that one or two refineries were put in place before embracing it the way he has done. Because, you know, right now as you have said, people are confused as to which direction things are going. There was not much education on what subsidy really is and what effects it will have. And now that subsidy is removed, you know, what are they, what next as the question is, some people right now who are selling fuel are selling it at 500 Naira. From 180 to 500 Naira. It's crazy. It's typical of Nigerians because they're filling their stations right now. They bought before yesterday. Matter of fact, I heard that before yesterday, some fuel stations had shut down in anticipation of what may come from the newly sworn in president's speech regarding that, because definitely everyone knew he was going to say something that voted on subsidy. And so there you have it. Nigerians are beginning to feel it. But let's be patient. He just came in. Let's lead. They had their inaugural dinner last night. Today work begins. So I imagine that before Friday, we're going to hear some pronouncements for the clarifications on which way this is going to lead us. Yeah. If Nigeria is 200 million or 210 million, we don't even know what the figure is. And we may not know for the next 10 years because census may not hold because of a lot of things and understandably so. If we are, let's say, 200 million, I guarantee that 150 are not experts in the economy. I am not. And I'm a media person. I'm not. I know some figures. I know some things that I could explain away. But I do not know how the economy really, really works. Now, you tell me, for instance, that Lagos generates an IGR of 50 billion. The only question I will ask you is, how does that affect the average Lagosian? If you tell me now that subsidy has been removed, for instance, okay, everybody's applauding. But how will that translate to me having a better life? For instance, I'm supposed to take a bus to come to work and I'll pay double of what I was paying now that subsidy has been removed. Yet people are clapping. I will not understand. So they should make sense out of it, why this is an advantage, what it will do to us, whether after removing subsidy, salaries will go up or other things will come down, food prices will come down and everything, subsidy will be geared towards something else that will be beneficial to us. We don't know these things. Yeah, those are joining concerns. We need to be given a direction. Is it going to translate to a better life than insurance? You know, when Zaka Bala was raising his concerns against the removal of fuel subsidy, he said people who are calling for the removal of fuel subsidy do not understand the import of it, what it will do to the life of an average Nigerian because that is like the support that the government is giving through that sector just as the government subsidizes health, education and every other thing that when subsidy is removed, then the support that the citizenry is supposed to get in that sector is totally gone. And so, as I said, we're waiting to see, he's an economist incoming, the new president, Bala Ahmed is an economist. I imagine he would have sat down with his team, although we're yet to now know three of them, to crucially take a look at this and break it down and find out what are we going to use to cushion the effects of this subsidy removal. And even though we now have dengote refinery on board, what does that translate to the cost of, how does that impact on how much you're going to be buying fuel? Because it's more or less a monopoly right now. So market forces cannot make the price come down. Exactly, that's why some people were saying he should have waited, made two or out of three refineries work optimally before taking this bold step. So we'll just have to wait and see. Well, but I can guarantee you that before, by the time that this round table will be hard and the discussions made to proffer solutions because they will set committees upon committees and mobilize them and all that, people will lose jobs in this legacy. He could have had that discussion. He could have had that meeting.  I said I was told that the budget did not have any provisions for that. You were told. And what did you say when you were told? So these are the things. Employers of labor do not care how you make it to work. Nigerian employers of labor, the average Nigerian employer of labor does not care how you make it to work. His own is if you have to be there at six o'clock, be there at six o'clock, even if you have to trek. And you complain and complain. You were sick. You didn't have a car. You didn't, it doesn't concern them. So what will be the solution should be, should be found as soon as possible, within the week if possible. And I've been told that we do have a report to support what we're talking about. We'll take that report at the moment. A first subsidy. Unportunate. The budget that I've glimpsed if both are as simple as I would have had. No provision of subsidy. The first subsidy is gone. Subsidies can no longer justify the increase in costs and the weight of dry resources. We shall instead channel the government to fund the better investment in public infrastructure, education, and that way entirely proved by the completion of the second the following budgetary reform simulating the economy without inflation. Industrial policy to utilize domestic manufacturing and lessen import dependence. The electricity will become more accessible and affordable to businesses and hope to align. Financial, security, transmission, and distribution network most improve significantly. Our government will continue to take pro-active steps to champion a credit culture to discourage corruption while strengthening the effect of efficient corruption agency. Security shall be the top party of our administration because neither prosperity nor justice are prepared and made in the security of this architecture. We shall invest more in security personnel and it means more in number we shall provide. A president there, he heard that the budget did not have failed subsidy but the things will be channeled into other things that will raise the economy. The GDP will now be 6% as he has said but it's not something that will be done in one day and that tells us that he has told us that he has no hand more or less in the phase of how the budget is for this year and these are his plans for next year if I understood him the way I chose to understand. My plans for Nigeria are XYZ but for this one according to the budget that has been prepared by the other people which I have no hand in have been told but subsidy has been removed. Like we were saying these things should have been discussed a long time ago as soon as he knew that he had been declared the president-elect and while he was trying to pick his ministers he should have been discussing these things. The finance minister if you remember correctly when that announcement was made regarding the suspension of the removal of your subsidy may declare that this year budgeted subsidy for up to May, did not include June and he has said that he has suspended it and they were going to work in synergy with the incumbent administration to prepare for this he is sounding political there trying to establish the faggot adjust the status but he cannot be exonerated true because we had that information given to us by the outgoing administration that were going to work with them to plan for the continuation of this discussion over subsidy and as I said you cannot be vying for such an exalted office without having thought things through and done some of your homework and so we are going to wait this week and see exactly what clarifications this new government is going to give us regarding this because a Nigerian is ready for the removal of subsidy yes there are calls in some quarters for the removal of subsidy because of all that is going on in that sector but are Nigerians ready for the removal of subsidy that is a major question because it is going to shoot a lot of things up prices will go up and all of that thank God for the Angotir refinery but how much can that mitigate that is a question it is not a Nigerian refinery it belongs to Angotir and you mentioned the monopoly that is involved in it right now even though we hear there are pockets of other refineries maybe one or two others in the south-south but then we do not think the impact on Angotir refinery came on board and we are hearing it should start in June there are different varying reports that we are going to get the first from June of July or August so whatever that may be the case I am expecting that this new government will give us more clarifications this week he is going to fill the polls the field stations have shut down Nigerians Australian to buy fuel cost of transportation has gone high so there is no way he would not come out to give clarifications as to how Nigerians are going to be helped through the process unless he will also be a president that will be talking to us from diaspora because the last administration everything sensitive we had the information when he traveled he refused to talk to Nigerians when he was in Nigeria he would go to London and talk he would go to any other country and talk but he would not talk to Nigerians in Nigeria I do hope this president will not be like that he will see like you said the problems Nigerians are facing I hope he will see anyway because sometimes they may not see and then address us talk to us about the things that are happening and what he intends to do immediately we can't wait for a hundred days in office for him to give us his call card as has become the tradition with Nigerian leaders now a hundred days in office well let's go to our top trending one of our first our first top trending is Buhari renamed airports after Avalowo, Dampodio, Idiabo, others yes, 15 airports have been renamed after prominent Nigerians one of them is the Bony Airport International Airport now Chuba Akadibo Airport the Ilari International Airport now Tundi Idiabo Airport the Pothakot International Airport now Obafemi Avalowo Airport there are 15 of them who have been so renamed by the outgoing president Mohamed Ibohari while I rejoice that these people have been recognized because they really contributed to Nigeria's development Idiabo, Okadibo and the rest of them that he has mentioned I also take it with a pinch of salt I don't think if you have to honor somebody you will take an old monument and then name it after the person for instance nobody even remembers if you are going to Begaf let me just use this practical example you are calling for a bus stop you will call Tolgate because they have always known that place you call it Tolgate or you call it Sevenup they have always known it that is called because he shared it or something I can't even remember what the name is but there is a different name on the bus stop that was named appropriately but the people knew it otherwise so you call a stadium that has always been known by another name and you say it is going to be called this way because it is to honor a great man I don't think that is trying to make posterity remember the good deeds of that kind of a person I think they should have built new things they should have chosen new things to make sure the name if you name a street right now after someone that is prominent enough nobody calls the street that name it is always the name that have always known it so why not create a new street for a bunny we can understand it is a relatively new airport maybe it didn't have a name it was done by this outgoing administration so it is possible that they will remember it call it Okadibo airport but for every other one that has existed for up to 10 years there is a possibility they will never call it like that except on official documents so well it has been done but for the future if you want to name something after someone who did well name a new thing after them for me that is my opinion yeah your opinion is valid second trend is to remember makes first set of appointments he is made three I do hope it will not be interpreted as being nepotistic well because Dela Leke has been named he is a presidential spokesman they have come a long way and then a former legal state commissioner of information Ambassador Kunli Adela Leke has been named as the state chief of protocol president and then Olyusha Goodada has been named special advisor digital media and I can understand the sense which you are saying I hope you know because all your bad names so but there you have it this is what we have so far so that is not secretary to this federal government that is not minister that is not anything so let's just take it that ok these people he needs them before he can make the critical appointments and all that and this he has worked with we should understand with him so let us not judge but like I said I hope Nigerians will understand like we understand right now exactly because he is spokesperson must be someone who we talk about kitchen cabinet there must be people that you can trust every government any big governor head of state president would make his kitchen cabinet people he can trust with his head with eyes closed we were saying the same thing about Buhari because he was making critical appointments people that he should ordinarily trust and Nigerians were not comfortable they were saying that is that is that the only zone that you could find people you trusted because you worked as an army person and you worked with a lot of people couldn't you find XYZ from any other geopolitical zone so what is good for the goose is good for the ganda if they will criticize Buhari for doing what he did because he had trust issues that's what I thought about his administration he had trust issues so if also has trust issues and has to appoint people from his geopolitical zone from his kitchen cabinet from the governorship days and all that fast enough to give confidence to Nigerians that is not another nepotistic president coming up alright so we take a break now to come back and take a critical look at the headlines we have Chris Cain de Wando joining us on half the press in a moment stay with us


Hey guys, welcome back to Foodimentary Adventures in Food. My name is Andrea and welcome to another week of What's for Dinner.  So we are kicking off another week of What's for Dinner with some frozen pizza. We are still working on our freezer pantry and refrigerator trying to use up items that we already have on hand. This was in the freezer. It is Vito and Nyx II Sausage and Mushroom Pizza Cracker Thin. Never had it before but it was in our freezer. Wanted to use it up. So this is a box and so the directions require or the directions require that you preheat your oven to 450 and that you bake the pizza directly on the oven rack which I did. And so I took it out of the oven and then I put it on this cookie sheet right here and I will say it is not cracker thin. So when I say cracker thin, I mean I'm thinking it's like super duper thin, very very crunchy and there is a lot of weight to this pizza and it is not thin at all. So I'll make sure to leave a comment and let you guys know what we thought of the pizza. But here it is and it is mushroom and sausage pizza and so we're going to go ahead and dig in and let you know what we thought. See you guys next time. Hey guys so let me show you what we are having for dinner today. Today is Howard's actual birthday. If you remember the other week Howard and I went to a barbecue restaurant and had dinner for his birthday because his parents were here and they could watch the baby but we still want I still wanted to celebrate his birthday on his actual birthday. So he wanted steak so I'll start out with his plate first. He seasoned his own steak the way he wanted to. So here is his huge steak. What was it? 1.6 pounds? 1.6 pounds. It's a ribeye and he grilled them of course. We are having mashed potatoes and also these are the mashed potatoes. I've shown these before on other What's For Dinner videos. These are really good. They're just microwavable mashed potatoes and all they have in them is butter, milk, and potatoes. That's it. And then I stir fried some green beans. I had some frozen green beans from Aldi so I used those along with some fresh mushrooms and just sauteed those. And then here is my plate a different plate because I don't like my food all on top of each other like Howard's food. I like mine a little bit spread out so here is my ribeye.  So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys so let me show you what we are having for dinner tonight. I am trying out a new recipe using some items that we had in our freezer so let me show you what I used. I used two boxes of these Stake-Ums. I had these in the freezer and then I had several packages of cheese in my freezer and believe you me I do have more but I had just like four packages of cheese a couple of them actually only one of them was open. This provolone was open but the others were not open and I wanted to use those and then in order to make the recipe I did have to go to the store and I bought a pizza crust and I needed some onion and bell pepper so I did have to buy two items in order to make this recipe. Really easy recipe it just called for the Stake-Ums the cheese the the pizza crust of course and then onion and bell pepper so I wanted to show you the whole Stromboli. I don't know if I mentioned that that or not but this is called Cheese Stake Stromboli so I wanted to show it to you whole so it's been cooling so I'm gonna cut it up so you can see what it looks like when I cut it and then we're also having fries with it so let me plate up everything and I will show you the finished product and I'll make sure to link the recipe in the description box. All right so here is the Philly Cheese Stake Stromboli all plated up and it looks really good and with it I am serving some orita steak fries these were in our freezer I got these from a 99 cents only store haul not too long ago but I'm using up a few items from our freezer so I'm excited about that so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys so for dinner tonight we are having Mississippi Pot Roast you probably hear the baby in the background but that's just a reality of our lives these days so have the Mississippi Mississippi Pot Roast in the crock pot super easy to make I've made this several times before on what's for dinner videos all it calls for is a chuck roast these pepperosinis I think I'm saying that right I'm never quite sure some some dry ranch mix and some brown gravy you put it all in the crock pot and then you let it cook on low for about eight hours so we're having that I'm serving mine over rice and then we have some leftover stir-fried green beans and mushrooms from Howard's birthday dinner and then this is Howard's plate right here we didn't have enough green beans to go around so I just heated up some microwave corn sweet corn and I would have shown you the package but I already threw it away I totally forgot and just threw it away but it was the bird's eye microwavable sweet corn kernels and and so that's it and he is having his over mashed potatoes the mashed potatoes again are from his birthday dinner so he prefers mashed potatoes I prefer rice with my roast and then he has the peppers on top so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time hey guys so for dinner tonight Howard and I are having leftover roast so I'm not going to show that again I normally don't show leftovers unless I'm switching it up a little bit but we're having the exact same thing that we had last night but I did want to show you that continuing with the pantry challenge I decided to make something that I've had in my pantry for a little while and I wanted to go ahead and make it it is Trader Joe's Meyer Lemon cake mix with lemon icing really easy directions here they are so all you need to add is water egg and you need some butter for the cake and then for the icing you need butter and just water as well and I baked it in an 8 inch cake pan and so here it is right here this is what it looks like on the cake platter and Howard and I tried some and it's pretty good I may have overcooked it maybe by five minutes or so but it's good it's moist the icing is really good to me even though it doesn't have cream cheese in it the icing tastes like it has cream cheese in it so it's pretty good I would probably buy it again so I just again wanted to show you guys a dessert that I was making from the pantry so see you guys next time hey guys so I have another pantry freezer challenge mail for you this is five minute wonton soup and I will make sure to put the recipe in the description box but for this soup we are using this ramen broth this is something that I have in my pantry from Aldi so I have ramen broth and fa broth so decided to use this one up I'm also using up some canned mushrooms that I have in the pantry as well and then I had these chicken and cilantro wontons from Trader Joe's that I wanted to use so here is the soup all I did was add sesame oil and some fresh baby spinach and some seasoning and spice sesame oil I think I said that and some other spices and I'll make sure like I said to add that in description box but I tasted a little bit of the broth and it's really very good so we're excited about having this for dinner tonight so hope you guys enjoyed this soup recipe the soup recipe if you decide to try it out and we'll see you guys next time


The camera loves you. Oh, yeah, that's good. Peace is sexy. Come to protest like this so you can actually do something and show in numbers that people are fed up with this type of, you know, just, we're going to do what we want and you guys are just going to sit there and take it. People aren't going to be sheep any longer. We can't afford to be because we'll look up and then we'll all be dead or we'll all be in some concentration camp because we disagree. If we wait too long or stay too silent for too long, we won't be able to have a voice. So now is the time to actually share our voice. Well, what we attempt to accomplish in protest like these is simply to bring awareness to the masses. You know, while you have news outlets that their agenda may be skewed one way or the other or, you know, they're only giving part of the story, the actual situation amongst the people is we have one particular view. We don't want to get involved with this. A lot of people feel that same way, but no one knows. It's like when you're in school and, you know, you don't know that you want to ask the teacher a question but you think you're the only person that wants to ask that question so you don't ask it. Well, we're asking the questions first. So other people will feel comfortable in asking those questions. We're just coming up saying, well, if this war is so just, why can't we wait for the information to come in? Why can't we have a congressional, you know, approval for it? We have to just jump in. Last time we did that, it was a travesty. You know, it ended up costing more lives, costing billions of dollars, and really in our actuality, nothing was accomplished. So why would we want to redo that situation? And the way more people can get involved in this is simply by waking up and realizing that situations that are going on that are by those within power, not just, you know, our government power but in power in general are moving us like pawns. And together we can stand up against them but individually they're crushes. We need to band together and speak up for what's right because if you don't, then at some point you won't have the choice.


Novak Djokovic vs. Safanoz Sicypas is the final of the Men's Australian Open for 2023. And both players have an easy rose to get to the final. Sipinoz Sicypas started the tournament off as a number 3 seed and took on Hallis in the first round and would get through in 3 tight sets. 6-3, 6-4, 7-6. In the second round he took on the wildcard Hitchikata. And this was Steph's most impressive performance dominating in straight sets. 6-3, 6-love, 6-2. In the third round he'd take on Grickspor who'd won a tournament earlier in the season but it didn't bother Steph who got through in straight sets. 6-2, 7-6, 6-3. In the fourth round he'd take on the number 15 seed Sinner. And this turned into a classic. 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3. In the quarter-finals Sicypas would take on the unseated Lehechka who had had a very good run to get to his first quarter-final. But experience came through with Steph winning in straight sets. 6-3, 7-6, 6-4 to get to another Australian Open semi-final. In the semi-finals Sicypas would take on the number 18 seed Hashinov who had just beaten quarter in the previous round. Sicypas would get through in 4, 7-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 to advance to his first Australian Open final. Djokovic started the tournament off as the number 4 seed and would take on Bayanna in the first round. And this posed no problem getting through in straight sets. 6-3, 6-4, 6-love. In the second round he'd take on the qualifier Cuoco getting through in 4, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-love. In the third round he'd take on the 27 seed Dimitrov. And these two had played many times before and Djokovic had Dimitrov's number again getting through in straights 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the fourth round he'd take on the 22nd seed Dimitrov the hometown favourite. And this was by far Djokovic's best performance of the tournament demolishing Dimitrov in two hours 6-2, 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals Djokovic would play number five seed Rublev. Djokovic came out of the blocks hot and dominated Rublev in straight sets 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. In the semi-final Djokovic would take on the unseeded Paul who'd made his way through the draw in very nice fashion. But unfortunately for Paul Djokovic was too much not like getting to another final 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 making it 10 at the Australian Open.  If Djokovic is going to win this one he needs to be aggressive and try not to get moved around that much. Against Paul he looked a little tired and he did look a little sore, that leg coming back a little bit sore I guess but he didn't look tired against Dimitrov and against Rublev. So he needs to make sure he's aggressive as he was against those guys. Sidzibas is going to win. He needs to have a lot of variety. He's been so great over the last six months with the variety, coming to the net, playing Bladeslam rallies, all the fun stuff that we used to seeing him do and serving big as well. So it'll be interesting to see how Sidzibas plays like that. This is a very fun final and I think it's a final that we all want to see Sidzibas in his second Grand Slam final. Djokovic going for number 10. I'm going to go with Djokovic in four sets. I think maybe Sidzibas wins the first or second set but I think Djokovic's experience and also he wants this more than anything after what happened last year. I think Djokovic will be the champion in four but let me know down in the comments below who you think is going to win the Australian Open.


All right, check this guy out This looks like it's just oh, I love you. I love you. I love you. Um, it's a good question This is working well. It's cool It's all cool It's a little bit floaty and swimmy there there right kind of wringling and then slow rotation The ending is good, but just that stuff like this is a very isolated rotation. It's kind of spliny and computery So, you know a bit more Within this region like those type of movements you have are good on the hand That's cool. What's missing here is that? Your camera stops at the end see this I keep going with your move or potentially reframe But keep that energy going where there's a little handheld So then everything just kind of stops and then cutting to this he's also completely still and then I will cut on those frames here. So when he moves here, that's where you cut in Otherwise you just cut to nothing moving and that's kind of boring. Let's see this here.   All right. See there you go. So much better That's cool. It's all cool I think what's a bit funky is that If you're doing this here Oh framing wise I would start just a bit more like that As if it's almost like center frame and then center frame Which might be a bit weird, but this feels weirdly Too much of the left, you know Still a little bit now at the end of the ending and see what you mean. We have kind of this turn Like I don't mind Like you could actually be closer. How about your this right that way to cut is a bit more pronounced and it makes more sense and then by the time you're here You're actually this close in terms of the framing, right? So the overall pull away you have Is okay, but you would start in closer What I would do is with this like when you're on a frame like this It's really framed. What you can do is imagine his arm Is up like that And this guy's arm, you know, it's maybe up here like he's trying to pull his arm away and so you have Bigger arm poses on on the big guy, you know, that makes sense And then it will come and re-grab this arm But then even then like the framing will be a bit more like that, you know, not so empty here And I think the headbutt doesn't quite really know what you're already doing and if that's a headbutt You'd also do with this arm, you know, swing out from here to here punch him in the side Or you could do is take the other hands and you're more like going to pose like this And his guy's left hand is here and grabs his hair And then pulls him down so that at the end you have More of a pose where um this guy's That just holds him here a little bit and then the head is like that Back and then this guy's hand is on him Which is probably too far away, I'm sure that kind of works still wet-wise But you know the idea is that the hand is here and then pulls him back And then with the framing it would be You know some more something where you end up with him here and then the other guy being back here You can pull him back and then and then leave that hand down or something You know what I mean? Like I feel like you want to have a Interesting frame where this guy goes out and is yelling or he bites And this guy's not doing anything and he just bites and on his way out imagine That this guy's leaning back Uh and just howling Mouth open and on his way back. There's you know, like blood streaks Like he almost bit the chunk out right chunk is here and his hair or whatever And he just leans back and does his howl if that makes sense like that could be something It's right now it feels a bit eh, but I know it's just bare bones, but I think it's an ending It's not as strong and I think it'd be it's okay to have him win You know, I don't know and then looking at this guy People who aren't alive anymore because of me Yeah, I think the idea is there I mean it would be like only going this far I think For fun enough compared to the previous version this feels almost rougher in terms of Animation like there's a lot of intersection stuff and especially at the end here um You know there's a lot of repeats here with our movements and his eyes and I know it feels like this is a step back compared to before Maybe I'm missing What is he saying Jerry? People who aren't alive anymore because of me Oh my god Yeah, I know I feel terrible about it And I really need your help But I like the idea and I like that, you know, you're doing this with the hand here and It's gotta work out the poses. It doesn't go through the table But to me like because it seems rougher than before it's almost like you're going into like really rough blocking layout um But I would say it's approved now say now, you know Go and chunks and work on this section then on this section and on this section that go one by one And start really polishing it because these are, you know, obvious intersections and there's some crazy stuff going on here so i'm not quite sure What this submission is representing compared to last time Um, but I would say as a whole I think this is this is totally working And I like the ideas and the change of the posing No, it needs to be more like that at the end of the elbow on the side Maybe you've got next to the table So it doesn't feel like this is so broken like that Like the wrist and the arm would actually come out this way and And be then here, you know type of thing um But yeah, I mean again, I'm not quite sure it's very feels to me at least rougher than before lots of intersections And lots of twinning and especially this ending being crazier um But I would say overall I think I like all the beats and the time and the performances I would just go in there and I really polish the stuff and you know work on your IK arms and chest and head accents that are synced to the audio And all that stuff and you know get away from crazy IK head stuff here You know kink out ticket all the kinks in the technical realm, right? Okay, thanks All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Mariah, she's in pain. She just had surgery yesterday.  I'm just gonna be taking care of her I'm gonna set this whole area up taking due to the movie theater first Let me see! God It is windy outside today guys. Oh my gosh. What is good everyone? Welcome back to our channel. If you're wondering what I just was doing I don't know if you can guess but I'm getting Starbucks like we always do guys I swear I feel like we're going to Starbucks like every day now. It's not getting unhealthy, but like it's just so good We can't pass up an opportunity especially on a day like today when Mariah is really really really not in the mood to do Anything Mariah isn't a lot not a lot of pain, but she's in pain She just had surgery yesterday and today I literally need to be on my freaking game Like I need to be spoiling the crap out of her starting right from the morning It's morning right now.  She can't eat any hard things and then I got her favorite egg white bites I actually got three orders of them because I wanted one and then I wanted to save two for her just to be you Know a good boyfriend and you know try to get her more than she needs But we're gonna go back right there and surprise her I don't know if she's up yet or if she's not if she is then it's perfect But I have a huge plan that I'm gonna do for her so stay tuned make sure to subscribe if you have not already Thank you so much for coming back and staying tuned with our channel make sure to like this video up now Let's go see how she reacts to this like first early morning surprise.  Hello. Oh, hi. Good morning. What's up? Oh I'm out, but I'm like heading back right now. So I'll be home in like five minutes. Okay. Okay. How you feeling? I know something that that'll make you feel a lot better Me yeah, all right now. I'll see you a little bit. Okay. All right. Love you Bye. I love that. He has no idea like little surprises like this. Just go like the longest way I'm so happy to give this to her. All right. Let's go Where are you? Surprise I Got you your favorite drink and I got you not one but two egg white bite orders.   Aren't you happy? Surprise you're already up and ready Since yesterday, and I definitely needed this your lip looks like fat Like it looks like it's puppy That's so weird it just like weirds me out how that looks wait wait show me your teeth again. Oh that thing's coming off Is it? Yeah, is it really it's coming off? I promise you wait. Look at me Okay, pull down your lip see how it was always stuffed down there. It's actually moving up.  I don't want it to pop off. I don't know when it will but it will There's a guard right here that they put where her stitches are guys Within like two hours of me getting it on like some people it lasts for like two it's been more than 24 hours now Yeah, which I'm praying it stays on because Your gum is just pushing it up more and more and more and all of a sudden it's just gonna go like this And then we'll be able to show them what your stitches look like, but hopefully it doesn't put you in more pain Why you can eat this because this is the only real food that she's had kind of in a little bit Was starving yesterday yesterday what you ate mashed potatoes you had soup and you had Jell-O the whole night That's all she ate after her surgery, but as you saw in our last video Mariah literally about 20 packets of mashed potatoes Probably not but at least you know it lasts a while. Oh, hey, stop. What are you doing?  It's definitely popping up. What's weird is this up here.  Yeah, it's not it's not super painful. It's more people for the stitch area Don't worry though. I'm taking care of you all day today All day you don't have to do anything and after we're done eating I actually I need you to go in the other room because I have a surprise that I want to do out here because we're Gonna be chilling out here all day, right?  He's so cute. Oh My god, he's okay.   Oh, I hope it really doesn't like the retainer thing cut up my tongue. Is it too hot?  She's literally trying to walk it that way. Oh look at the four doggy The dog is doing better than her. Oh my god. I told you guys when I was getting in the car earlier It was bad. Oh, I know I'm glad that we were able to show her because the first girl this it was a skinny girl And she was trying to walk and she had to turn her back and she was like like inching her way up Just like this girl's doing look at her. She's like what the heck is going on right now? Oh my god They're actually trying so hard. I was not lying guys like it's it's bad Some rise in the other room right now.   They're not judging you We could build a fort in the living room if we want to no one's gonna yell at us for messing up The house or doing anything the only bad part is you got to clean it up yourself But this is just so fun like just like being here alone being able to do whatever you want If you guys are wondering what this is we actually did a TikTok it was really funny Mariah literally bought this on Amazon It's a tortilla, but it's a blanket. We put that right here snaps just snapping it up in here All right, I think I'm almost done all I have to do now put on our favorite show Okay, yeah, we've really been into Lucifer lately and then just I mean bring her out here There's really nothing more I can do out here until she comes and sees it and now I'm gonna like make her food and stuff I want to like tell you guys if you're watching this right now And first of all if you don't have a smile on your face put a smile on your face like every day is a great day every day You wake up.  Let's go surprise her now, baby. What are you doing? Ready? Okay, if you did not notice Mariah is wearing my boxers. What is it? Why those are not even good boxers. Those are like my workout boxers. Those are I mean, no I don't wear those out like I rather wear like fruit a loom or Calvin Klein When you guys get a girlfriend or a boyfriend steals your hoodies steals your shirt Your boxers show where my socks if she runs out of socks like I feel like no You haven't you have a double you have a double wardrobe You have your wardrobe and then my wardrobe all put together. All right, wait wait wait wait wait wait I'm gonna hold your hand I didn't get any candles out for this one because you know it's still daylight so you can't really see them But I got this a little movie date taking due to the movie theater because I got to my hair super dear just had surgery All right, and I can't drive you to a movie theater and you know COVID. I built our own movie Snap was literally crawling on the bottom. That's why it's like not perfect, but right It's comfy I'm saying Literally, I'm not even kidding. There's three inch of foam.  I know it's not a lot, but no, there's like you're gonna be chilling here all night I feel like it'd be really fun and comfy, you know just to hang out here Yeah, you ready to go yeah All right, so you guys are probably wondering like why are you in the car again? I thought you were chilling with your girl today. I am guys But we hit we were chilling for a little bit Oh, we were just lounging out on the bed that I made up for her and everything but after like a while I was like wait. I need to get her something else It's like it's lunch time is actually almost dinner time now So I decided to go to Target and I actually got her a few things as you can see down here I got myself some things too, but I got her like her favorite ice cream her favorite Like a like a gift bag some soup her favorite soup from Panera that they sell at Target as well But I'm just some cute little things to make you know her day even that much better because she is you know Kind of annoyed that she can't really do anything except like lay there, but she's having fun We're having fun and I'm happy to surprise her again. So I'm gonna go home right now I'm actually almost home. I'm driving home. I didn't film in the store because it was like I just wanted to get in and out and go as fast as I can I'm tired of driving like there's some days where I like I'm just not feeling like the drive-in vibe But today's one of those where I just want to like lounge out with Mariah all day I'm so let's go give this up to her and see how she's doing snap get out of here There's not for you. It's not for you. You get your food later Mariah She's still in the same spot that she was what I left. How are you been doing bleeding? Wait you're bleeding Why didn't you tell me I don't know I just taste blood sometimes. What do you mean sometimes? That's a big deal Probably because I'm laying down in my head's back. This girl literally says I'm bleeding like you're supposed to tell me this stuff I'm not just today. What's that game? Oh my god.  It's just a few things and then you know one thing that you can eat later tonight that you wanted It's some yeah, some of the good mac and cheese from Panera, uh-huh You might have that right now. I got you more soup because you can never go wrong, right? I got you one of those and then you can never go wrong with more soup. She already hit off this soup, but what? What? Is it the right one?  I can make it for you Yeah, I'll make it for you. Wait, let's go Look at the guys this honestly tastes amazing Mariah hasn't tried it yet, but I have and look at this booger. Look at them I love him so much. Say hi. Snip the mama squad He's like uh here. Wait wait grab the napkin cuz it's hot Make sure to put it down or something but babe, I'm not even kidding. It tastes exactly like Panera try it It's a little mukbang right now. It's good. That's perfect. That's hot. No, it's good though. Mm-hmm. What? Oh Literally she did her own little angel sound effect, but babe. I saw that and I was like oh my god Mariah is gonna freaking love Good worth it. I think just that was working on it and do I know it's funny So Mariano's I don't know my pin to my card so I can only pay with cash because at Mariano's you literally can't pay with like a card Unless you know your pen so I picked out everything at the store at Mariano's and I realized I don't have cash on me I had to go all the way put everything back at Mariano's go all the way to target get everything And then come home. That's why I am done driving for today So if you want anything else, I will gladly order it. I know you're sweet, but I got you ice cream So really that'll top off the night. I know it will. I cannot wait. I hope this really made your day It really did because today's kind of like a recovery day where I just kind of sit back chill You know take a break with talking in my mouth. So it feels really good that you spoiled me today I appreciate it. Thank you for thinking about me. I'm always thinking about you Can't wait, maybe I'll just get surgery just so she can give me a day of fun So our anniversary is on Monday guys And I have a lot planned for you, and I'm really excited. Okay, not gonna lie. I haven't really planned anything for you yet That's good to hear No, no, no for real though like I love you to death. Are we gonna be doing anything like here at night? You could put a night. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah, you find the day. I'll find the night No, I know I'm actually excited now. All right, so the 22nd of this month March Yeah, but it wouldn't go it wouldn't go up into Wednesday. I'm 25th. We may have to push the 24th a day or two later just because some stuff some stuff's not coming in Yeah, well, unless I just show you what it is either way next week the video is gonna go up You'll see it make sure to follow us on Instagram because we're gonna be doing some Instagram for a year Oh my god four-year post Guys make sure to like them up on our Instagram. We literally love you I also want to give you guys a little update of how I'm feeling. So basically I'm feeling really good today I was really nervous. I was gonna feel worse, but honestly everything has been so smooth only thing is I'm just super sore when I eat, you know, it's kind of hard to eat with a stent in I know you woke up and you're like all hyped on the phone I was like dang this girl is like a trooper after getting surgery yesterday I think it's all the medicine though because I'm all drunk. Oh, they loaded her up with with painkillers and stuff Tomorrow, I think we can get back to normal filming Hopefully it's not gonna be obviously as great because I had this thing in there and the stunt it gets super annoying But we're gonna try to film something normal for you guys for Monday's are for Tuesday's video But every every video is not every video is normal But we're gonna bring you guys behind the scenes. Yes, everything that happens surgery, you know bad things a good day We want you guys just along hopefully more good days than bad days. Yes, we don't want bad But if it happens, you know, you guys are gonna see it. Yes I hope you enjoyed this video make sure to like this video as well also subscribe if you are not already or if you're new To our channel. Thank you so much for tuning in all the way till the end, you know We freaking love you guys and you guys mean the world to us Thank you for all the prayers and the wishes you guys are super sweet And I wouldn't be here without you guys, so thank you, and I love you guys And we will see you in the next video


We're now going to work an example problem involving an ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle and it will be using R134 as the working fluid. So what it'll do in the beginning is write out the question. So there's our problem statement. What we have is a vapor compression refrigeration cycle and it is using R134a. Oh, there should be an elevator, I apologize. It's an ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle. 300 kilojoules per minute, we'll have to convert that into kilojoules per second. We're told the pressure at which it enters is a saturated vapor into the compressor. It's 140 kPa, goes up to 800 kPa, so that's the pressure difference through the compression process. They want us to put this on a TS diagram. They want us to determine quality of the refrigerant at the end of the throttling process, so that would be state four. They want the coefficient of performance and the power inputter to work into the compressor. So let's move ahead and what I'll do is I'll begin by writing out what we know and what we're looking for and then we'll write out a TS diagram and then solve the problem. So those are the things that we have been given and what we're looking for. Next step, what we'll do is we'll write out a TS diagram and then we'll start looking up the property data out of the back of the book using the tables for R134A. So that's our TS diagram, writing out state information and looking at property data in the back of the book. Now you'll notice when I went in and got the information for state one, I pulled out the enthalpy, we're at the saturated vapor line, but I also pulled out the entropy because I know that the process going from one to two is isentropic and consequently we need to know the entropy at state two in order to specify it. That's why I pulled out the entropy. So that is state two specified. In order to determine state three, we go all the way over to the saturated liquid line and we know the pressure is 0.8 MPa, so that's a pretty straightforward one. So that's specify state three. Now to determine state four, remember the throttling process, we characterize that as being a process of constant enthalpy and consequently what we can do is say H3 equals H4. We know that we're in the two phase region at 140 kPa or 0.14 MPa and so from that we can determine the quality and determine X4. So there we have all of our states, we have all the information, this is actually the answer to the first part. We can now go ahead and use the values of enthalpy applying the first law for each of the different components and determine everything that we need to determine. Now for the coefficient of performance, we have heat transfer from low and work in in the compressor, so to determine heat transfer in at low that's just going to be the difference in enthalpy between state one and state four and the work in is going to be the difference between enthalpy at state two and state one. The last thing they told us to look for is the work in to the compressor and that would be the expression for the work in. In order to get that we need to know the mass flow rate. The way that we determine the mass flow rate is knowing the information about the load or the amount of thermal energy that we're absorbing in our cold part of the cycle. And from that we can get work in as being 1.26 kilowatts. So the answer is to the problem X4, we have the coefficient of performance and finally the work in to the compressor. And so that completes the example problem as well as concluding this lecture. Thank you very much.


The Farmer Field School Manual is a well-crafted document which addresses national circumstances while adhering to the Food and Agriculture Organization's International Farmer Field School Principles and Guidelines. The revision of the manual forms part of Phase 3 of the European Union-funded program for capacity building related to multilateral environment agreements in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries which aims to promote environmental sustainability. National coordinator of the FAO's School Feeding Program, Cherian Smith, explains that a training session on the manual recently held for extension officers within the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to aid in the design and implementation of more efficient and impactful farmer-filled schools in the future. The last farmer-filled school manual was updated in 2006 and so we have gone ahead and updated it so we now have a 2022 version. That farmer-filled school manual, the whole point of that training today is for the extension officers to now go back in their regions and implement a farmer-filled school. So basically the farmer-filled school is a school where farmers meet and they undertake training for example in learning how to have a successful crop before the farmer-filled school was basically on integrated pest management but now we've included new and emerging topics like climate change is now a part of it, food safety is also a part of it. So it's a discovery-based learning approach that brings farmers together in a learning environment. According to Agricultural Extension Officer Jesharon Andrews, the updating of the manual and training will help the extension division promote ecosystem-based practices and approaches for agriculture as well as the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity which ensures environmental sustainability while increasing productivity. Basically when we're done here today it would have allowed us to modify our approach to basically when we go back and execute that in our various regions. So like you would be aware we have different regions so I'm from region one and two and so within our area within the next year we hope to host a farmer-filled school where we bring in those farmers and whatever we would have discussed today we'll be able to modify and have the farmers to experience. Following this training a quarter of farmers will participate in a three-month farmer-filled school as efforts continue to increase the resilience of St Lucia's agriculture sector. From the communications unit of the Ministry of Agriculture I am Anisia Antoine reporting.


Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Larry Ellison. Can we turn that up, that moniker? Thank you for joining us here this lovely Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco. All right, six years of engineering. You know, my first version of that slide was four years of engineering. Then I changed it, so it took a little longer than we had planned. But it was a huge, huge engineering project to build a complete and integrated suite. ERP, human capital management, CRM, all the different pieces built on top of modern technology, rebuilt on top of modern technology. Complete, integrated, and finally here, next slide. And it is a gigantic, it was a gigantic effort, accounting what used to be called human resources, human capital management, supply chain, projects, procurement, CRM, governance risk compliance. Next slide, over a hundred separate computer programs, over a hundred separate products, all rewritten, all rewritten on top of modern technology. It was, it took us six years, but I think it was worth the wait. Next slide. We didn't do this alone. From the very beginning, we started working with our customers during the early design phases, our PeopleSoft customers, our Siebel customers, our Oracle customers, our Hyperion customers. We talked to all of them and asked them what they wanted in the next generation of technology. And then we designed it and built it and showed it to them and they criticized it. And we worked again and reworked until we finished this six-year journey of rewriting all of our applications on top of modern technology to meet the needs of our most demanding customers. And we had 200 design partners, 200 testers, and now we have 200 live customers on top of Fusion applications during its controlled release period. Next slide. But that controlled release period is now officially over. All of these 100 plus modules, these 100 plus new products are generally available to all of our customers all over the world. And we have tens of thousands. I'd like to thank all of our application teams for designing a great product, building a great product, and sticking with it until you're finished. Of course, you're never really finished. There's going to be another version, another version, another version, but now we're delivering it to our customers. Human Capital Management, ERP, CRM, all those pieces are here today. Next slide. I'd like to go back six years to the very beginning of the project and review for all of us some of the design goals we had for Fusion. Why did we rewrite PeopleSoft and Siebel and Hyperion and the Oracle e-business suite on top of modern technology? It was a huge effort. It took a lot of engineers a very long time to do this. Why did we do it? Why did we do it? What was wrong with Oracle e-business suite or PeopleSoft? I mean, they're a good product. They are market-leading products. They are market-leading products. And we continue to invest in them today and we'll continue to invest in them tomorrow. But we felt we had to move to a new generation, the next generation of technology for very specific reasons. First, we needed applications that were designed not to run just on-premise in your data center, but we needed design applications that also ran in the cloud. Now, six years ago, it wasn't called the cloud. The term cloud was actually popularized by Amazon.com's EC2. It's the Amazon.com's elastic compute cloud. They kind of invented and popularized the term. But before there was the cloud, there was SAS, NetSuite, Salesforce.com, those guys. So what we really said with the original slide, really looked like it was designed to run as a service on the internet, SAS, and on-premise. But the new popular term today is cloud. So designed to run in the cloud and on-premise. That meant we had to rebuild, redesign, and rebuild our applications. Next, we wanted to build our applications on top of industry-standard middleware using industry-standard languages. No one had ever done this before. SAP, to this day, uses ABAP. A more modern system, Salesforce.com, uses Apex. We thought that was a huge mistake. People used people tools. We used an e-business suite, something called Oracle Forms. Everyone used proprietary languages, worked as his proprietary language, sales, where everyone had proprietary languages. We thought it was a very bad idea. So first thing we had to do was re-engineer our middleware so it could provide a foundation for our applications. And we did that as a two-step process. First, fusion middleware. And then after we built the foundation, fusion applications built on top of industry-standard fusion middleware and the most popular programming language in the world, Java. So when you extend the applications, when you add to the applications, you write in Java. When you link up your application, this application to one of the applications you built, you use BPEL, another standard way of interconnecting the pieces. Because we have a service-oriented architecture, a modern service-oriented architecture. Nobody else does. SAP R3 sure doesn't. Salesforce sure doesn't. Workday sure doesn't. We didn't. E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Siebel, we didn't have it either. These are relatively new concepts. So we had to re-architect our applications to move them to industry-based standards and a modern service-oriented architecture. That's why we had to rebuild. That's why we took this six-year journey. Next thing, security, if we're going to run this thing in the cloud, across the public internet, this thing has got to be much more secure than it ever was when it was running in your data center behind your firewalls. It's got to be much more secure. Now, everyone up until now had built their security into the applications. By the way, the E-Business Suite security built into the E-Business Suite. Siebel security built into Siebel. Salesforce.com security built into their application. SAP security built into the SAP application. We did not want to use application-level security. We did not want to rely on each and every person writing application code to guarantee that your data and data center and applications were secure. We wanted security to be a part of the underlying infrastructure. So when you built the application, it was guaranteed to be secure because the infrastructure was secure. So we didn't put security into fusion applications. We upgraded the infrastructure so that the security is built into the virtual machine and the operating system and the middleware and the database and anything built on top of that infrastructure is secure. Whether we build the application, our application development teams build it or you make extensions, it's secure because the underlying technology is secure, especially important in the world of the cloud and the public internet. And finally, we wanted to give this new suite of applications a whole different look and feel.  Instead, we wanted, when you logged on and you walked into your office and you hit your home page, your welcome screen, whatever you want to call it, that first page would tell you the latest news about your business, give you real information on the very first screen and it will tell you, let's say you're a first level sales manager, it will tell you what happened in the last 24 hours to the forecast. What deals got closed? What deals fell out of the forecast? If you're a first-line sales manager, how are all your direct reports doing? How are they doing? How much did they sold versus what is their quota in the quarter? You get that information right on your first page. Plus, that's what you need to know. What do you need to know right on your first page? Also on your first page is a list of tasks. What do you need to do? So-and-so needs to get an unusually large discount approved. Do you want to approve it or not? One of your managers wants to hire this sales consultant. Please sign their offer letter. So-and-so is requested to go on vacation for this two-week period. So, two weeks before the end of the quarter, do you want to approve it or not? Mark's shaking his head, no. So, right away, your first page tells you the latest business, what do you need to know, latest news about your job, and what do you need to do?  A very different UI than we had in e-business suite or Siebel or for that much what SAP has or what Salesforce has. Okay, so if we have a suite of applications designed to run in the cloud, I guess we need a cloud. Next slide. So, my first announcement today is announcing the Oracle Public Cloud. Next slide. When you need a cloud, you just need a cloud. Everyone's got a cloud. We need a cloud. Okay. So, our cloud's a little bit different. Our cloud's a little bit different. On the lowest level, it's both a platform. It's both platform as a service and applications as a service. It is both. And the key difference, the key difference I keep coming back to this theme is our cloud is based on industry standards and supports full interoperability with other clouds and with your data center on premise because we all share the same standards. Just because you go to the cloud doesn't mean you forget everything you learned about information technology over the last 20 years. You don't say, we don't need standards. We don't need interoperability. We're in the cloud. What good is that? Well, we think if anything, standards and interoperability are even more important when you're in the cloud. Security is more important when you're in the cloud. So, we have two levels. You'll see the Oracle Public Cloud at the lowest level has got a series of platform services, a database service, a Java service, a data service, information, not database, but the actual data itself. A data service and a security service all built into the cloud infrastructure. And then on top of that foundation we put our fusion applications or you put your custom applications or your extensions to our fusion applications all built using the underlying platform services. The underlying standards-based platform services. Next slide. All right. The database service. You can take any existing Oracle database that you have and move it to our cloud because the database service in the cloud is like the database service in your data center. You can just move the data across and it runs unchanged. Oh, by the way, you can move it back if you want to. Or you can move it to the Amazon cloud if you want to. You can move your data between our cloud, someone else's cloud, your data center back and forth and back and forth again. You can do your development test on our cloud and go production in your data center, move the production system in your data center to Amazon and then back to your premise all everything is portable. Your data is portable because everything we do is standards-based. Everything we have that runs in our cloud runs in Amazon's cloud and other clouds that are standards-based. And in your data center. Next slide. The Java service. When you want to extend our applications or build a custom application, you write it in Java. Your Java Double E. You have an existing Java program in your data center right now. You can move it to our cloud. You can build a Java application in our cloud, move it back to your data center or the Amazon cloud or the IBM cloud or any other cloud or any other data center that supports industry standards. Oh, by the way, don't try to move that Java Double E application to the Salesforce cloud. It won't run. And don't... Oh, we have Heroku. We just bought Heroku. Heroku, we just bought Heroku. It runs Java. Well, no. It doesn't run Java Double E. It has part of the Java application. It's kind of a Salesforce version of Java that only runs in Heroku. So if you try to take a Heroku application and move it to your data center, it won't work unless you buy Heroku. It's not standards-based. Our cloud is standards-based. Next slide, please. Okay, famous quote. I'm not sure where I heard it. I'm not sure where I heard this, but, you know, it's bringing in my mind someone very famous in the cloud business said beware of false clouds. That is such good advice. I could not have said it better myself, but I'm going to say it again. Beware of false clouds. There is a huge difference between clouds and false clouds. Our cloud is based on industry standards. Java, BPEL for integration, XML, Groovy, web services, easy to interconnect applications in our cloud, the Amazon cloud to applications in your data center all using standards.  It is unique to Salesforce. There's only one set of computers in the world that run Apex, and that would be Salesforce. You want to build your applications in Apex, you better run them in Salesforce forever, because that's the only place you can run them. Heroku is not industry-centered Java. If you build something in Heroku, you can't move it. It's not a Java double E compliant application. It's a derivative of Java. Forrest.com, you're right in Apex. Again, all of this stuff is non-standard. All of this stuff is unique to Salesforce.com. It only exists in one place in Salesforce.com. Now, if you don't care, fine. But understand you're committing yourself to life to run that application at Salesforce.com because it doesn't run any place else. You can't move it any place else. You can abandon it. You can write it and say, oops, you know, I just give up, but you can't run it any place else ever. And you can't build things in your data center and move them to Salesforce.com. That doesn't work either. If you're not happy with Salesforce.com, you can't move to Amazon. You can't do anything.  You know, it's kind of the ultimate vendor lock-in. You can check in, but you can't check out. I like to think of it as the Roche motel of clouds. Now, that is a false cloud. It's like an airplane. You're flying into the cloud and you never get out. It's not a good thing. With Fusion applications, with Fusion databases, they run in our cloud. They run in your data center. You can move them back and forth, no problem. With Salesforce.com it is a false cloud. It's good for Salesforce, not necessarily good for you. Next slide, please. Okay. I said we have a database service based on standards. We have a Java service based on standards. We also subscribe to lots of data. As I said in the first thing, you can load your data into our cloud. Move it from your data center here. But we also subscribe to a lot of useful data that you might want to use in our cloud, like the Dunham Bradstreet data or census data. Data extracted from a number of social networks. Lead information. We're going to populate our cloud with a lot of useful data for our customers. So you don't have to go out and make lots and lots of separate deals and subscribe to this data. You'll be able to repurchase this data from us. We'll resubscribe to this database right on our public cloud and feed that data into your applications. Whether they're Oracle Fusion applications or applications you wrote yourself. The data service on the public cloud. It's a monthly subscription. You go to the Oracle store. You sign up. You can use your credit card. Within minutes of signing up it's instantly provisioned. Instantly provisioned and you're up and running with a database with the ability to write Java programs with the ability to run Fusion applications. Very important aspect about our public cloud. It's elastic. Amazon thought elastic was so important. Such an important characteristic of the cloud. They put it into their name. It's called the elastic compute cloud. All elastic means is if you're running a long running report or it's the end of the quarter and you need more compute capacity or more storage. You get the additional compute capacity. You get the additional storage automatically. It's elastic. When you're through using that capacity it shrinks back down. You only pay for what you need. That's how the Oracle public cloud works. It's fully elastic. You can expand it instantly for a couple of days at the end of the quarter and then shrink it back down. You only pay for what you use. It's very different than a cloud that's rate limited, that's capacity constrained where they cancel your long running reports because it's using too much CPU power like over at salesforce.com. They actually cancel your reports. They monitor your reports and if they're taking up too much compute power, they cancel them. We don't do that. It's elastic. They have no choice. They can't add capacity. They can't let one runaway reports slow down their whole system so they have to cancel it. Ours is very different. It's elastic. We don't have that problem. And of course you use Java to develop the fusion apps etc. Next slide. Okay. The fusion suite is very unusual. It's a complete and integrated suite of applications and it runs both cloud and on premise. If you go SAP, our biggest application competitor, has the large suite of applications called R3. It's had several names but it's still basically R3. And it really is designed only for people like Siebel or some of Siebel stuff and more like eBusiness Suite and PeopleSoft. Now there are a bunch of new cloud companies that do route. You can buy softwares of service over the internet like salesforce.com and Workday for Human Resources or Human Capital Management to lay over talent management. But these are siloed separate applications. Fusion apps are the first complete and integrated suite to run cloud. First one. Took us a while, six years, a big job and of course the same exact code. The same exact code runs on premise. So if you're doing an implementation, you can do your test, your development test in our cloud and then when you're ready to go production you can move it back to your data center if you want to or leave it in our cloud. Your choice. You have a choice. The key thing is you have a choice and I'm pro-choice. Next slide. The guys at Salesforce, they're not pro-choice. They think you should run everything at Salesforce. Okay. Service-oriented architecture. So when you connect the fusion applications, you can have some of the fusion applications. You can have CRM or your Asian AsiaPak CRM or pieces of stuff in the cloud. You can have other stuff on premise. It's all linked together using industry standards like BPEL. Everything's web service. Everything is a web service. Very easy to connect these things with each other. Cloud on premise. Fusion applications to your custom applications. Very easy to interconnect all this stuff using standards. Salesforce doesn't have any of that stuff. Everything they have for linkage is proprietary. Forced.com. Write a custom program in Apex and we're rock and roll. Let's go. Everything's write a custom program in Apex. Next slide, please. Amazon.com again is when you sign up to Amazon.com and you get resources, you get some number of virtual machines. That's how we allocate capacity. Certain amount of disk space, virtual machines. And you your applications and your data run in your personal or your company's personal isolated, in the best sense of the word isolated virtual machine. Salesforce has a different idea. They say, why don't we put everyone's data and put it in the same database? We wrote the database. We think that's a really bad idea. Unless it's actually good if you want to look at your competitor's leads or something like that. That's a very bad security model to put everyone's data in the same database. It's called multi tenancy and it was this data of the art 15 years ago when they started. I mean it really was the best we could do 15 years ago. I have no problem with them starting with multi tenancy. It was a good idea 15 years ago. This is 2011. All the compute clouds, all the modern compute clouds are virtualized. These virtualization is part of their security model. We give you a separate virtual machine. Your data is in a separate database. Your data is secure.  They don't have any of that. They put your data at risk by commingling it with your competitor's data. And God knows whose data. Next slide, please. All right. True clouds versus false clouds. Some key questions to ask. If you really want to figure out, okay, so what should I ask someone who's a cloud sales person? Say use my cloud. Say no use my cloud. Use my cloud. Simple question. If I write an application in your cloud, can I move it to another cloud? If I write an application in the Salesforce cloud, can I move it to Amazon? If you write an oracle, you can move it to Amazon, move it on-premise and back. You write it in Salesforce, Roach, Motel of clouds. Virtualization. Is my data just kind of mixed up, smushed together with everyone else's data in the same, in one or a big oracle database with everybody, including my competitors? Yep. Is that a problem? Works for us. We like it because we have to buy less database. It's a really bad idea. We keep your data secure, your applications separate in your own virtual machine. So is your data safely stored in a secure, separate database and a separate virtual machine? Oracle, yes. Salesforce, uh-uh. And finally, if I need additional capacity, do I just get it automatically? Or do you cancel my work? With Oracle, with the Oracle Public Cloud, you get elastic capacity on demand. Whatever you need, you get automatically. When you're through using it, it shrinks. You only pay for what you use. In Salesforce, you use too much capacity, we're going to kick you off the machine. True cloud, false cloud, you decide. Next slide. Okay, back to our original design goals, specifically the last design goal. Remember, these design goals are six years old. And we said we want to build a modern user interface with business intelligence and analytics, business intelligence and analytics built in, not added on. So again, if you're a sales manager on the very first screen, you see the current state of the forecast, what's been sold, how your direct reports are doing, how the pipeline looks. You get all of that data right on your screen and a list of tasks. What do you need to know? What do you need to do? We still think that's right. It was six years ago. But things have changed. Next slide, please. Over the last six years, social networking has been a critical new technology in redefining on the way people interact with computers and interact with each other. And we think this has huge implication on how we build modern applications. Next slide. So we built a social network. My second announcement of the day, the Oracle public cloud, we're announcing the Oracle social network.  And we would build the applications differently. We realized this a while ago fortunately, not just last week, that we would build the applications differently in light of social network technology. And that we had to build our own social network, and we did.  CRM, ERP, HCM, governance, everything. And I'm going to demonstrate how that social network works. With built-in web conferencing, document sharing, building network amongst people. So we changed our user interface goals. By the way, this is the only goal that we really changed over the past six years. So it's not merely what do I need to know? What do I need to do? It's who do I need to work with? And then we've got to enable you to work together as a team. And we do that with the Oracle social network built-in to each and every one of those 100-plus fusion applications. Next slide. I'm going to go through this very quickly because I've been up for 26 minutes. Is that right? Thank you. Just checking. See how I'm doing. I've got a demo. I'm going to do my own demo. It's going to be very exciting. A little nervous about this. So, but I wanted to give you a look. I'm going to show you some HCM application screens. Again, I'm not going to spend a lot of time explaining them because I'm going to explain the social network and the user interface in the demonstration. But I want you to just look at how different this looks. This is our person gallery. It's Maria Williams. You can see her social network, the people she works with over on the right-hand side of the screen. There's you can see that, you know, currently, she's in system support. The name of her manager, she's currently away at a conference. So, a very familiar, the user interface is very different than most applications that you'll see. Next slide. Again, another HCM application. Here I want you to look kind of on the right-hand side. It's something called My Tasks. So, you get a task list, a list of things to do.  You get a task list with the things to do.  You know, should I sign this offer letter? Click. And you can approve the offer. Can I approve the vacation? So on. Next slide, please. So, it's not only what do I need to know, it's also how you navigate when you decide to do it. How do you make the approval? So, the information is actually the menu and how you navigate through the system. Okay, because we have a HCM system throughout, you use in the social network, you use among other things, that's how you navigate through your organization. But you can create additional networks of people you work with. Next slide, please. And this is another HCM talent management slide. Again, I'm going to start the demo in a couple of seconds. I just wanted to give you a feeling for how different this is from what we produced before and the competition. Next slide. And, of course, of course, all of the Fusion applications, and I mean all of the Fusion applications run not only on desktop computers, they also run on mobile devices like iPads and iPhones and Android and such. Next slide. Oh, hold it. Stop for the applause. Back up one slide. Okay, please. Mobile devices mobile devices like iPad and iPhone. Thank you very much. Next slide, please. Just so you remember, please.


So let's see that in an example. So I'm gonna right-click the tab up top and let's just imagine we're at a cash register now. So in your mind, we're at a cash register. And so I'm gonna say, let's pick up, let's pretend this one was cash receipts of this 1,378.05. So I'm gonna go, okay, let's go to the first tab and I'm gonna hit the plus button and we're gonna go into a sales receipt. Sales receipt situation, let's say this is customer, customer number, what are we on? Let's just say 10. It's customer 10, I skipped a few. And so we're gonna go boom, customer 10, bam. And let's say this happens on, let's say 10, 15, 22, this is where my numbers are at. And then down here, I'm gonna say that we have, it looks just like an invoice, but now it's a sales receipt, right? So I'm gonna say, let's just say we had hours and I'm just gonna try to match it out to here, which is the 1,378.05. So I'm gonna say, okay, 1,378.05. Now, I'm gonna imagine this one, I deposit directly into the checking account. This is not the way I think you're gonna be able to do it most of the time, because notice if this was like a cash sale again or a credit card sale, then this dollar amount isn't necessarily what's actually gonna hit the checking account because I'm gonna group together multiple sales possibly or the credit card company will when I actually deposit them physically into my bank. So I won't be able to basically connect. So that means my bank's gonna have a different grouping. So I'm gonna try to show the two methods that you could use though, however. So if you've got, for example, electronic transfers, then maybe you could do it this way because that means it's gonna hit the bank for this exact dollar amount. But if it's cash or credit card, you might have to use the undeposited funds. So let's just imagine like the easy way first, this is gonna be an increase to the sales driven by the item down here and an increase to the checking account driven by this item. Let's go ahead and save and close it. Save and close. And then if I go back to the balance sheet tab and we run it running and I go into the cash, now it increased the checking account. So if I go into the checking account with a sales receipt, that's the other thing that be a little bit, you might wanna think about a little bit. It's not a big deal that you have an increase to the checking account with a sales receipt. But when you think about the increases to the checking account, notice we have multiple things here. Now we've got the sales receipts, the deposit and the payment forms. So if I wanted to sort, for example, up top for the increases to this account, I'd have to say filter, transaction type. I'd have to pick up three things. There might be a payment form. There might be a deposits that increase it. Of course, and now we've got the sales receipt that could increase it. So if I do that, that's a little bit more tricky just for the filtering to kind of pick up those different kind of things that could all be increases to the checking account, which you would not have if you used the clearing account method. But that's not a big deal, just something to kind of be aware of. And then I'm gonna go back on over and the other side is gonna go into the revenue account on the other side of things, running it, we're in the service revenue, boom, service revenue, services. And then we've got our sales receipt, sales receipt going into it, and that looks good. And because you're using the actual sales receipt and you're adding an item, you do have the sub ledger reports now because now you're using a full service type of system. So if I ran for, for example, subsidiary reports now, and if I right click on this and duplicate it, and I'd said I wanna run a report that's gonna give me my sales by customer or my sales by item, what I sold, I can go to the reports on the left hand side and let's just say sales, sales by customer. So let's just do the summary, sales by customer from I'm gonna go from 010122 to 123122 or run it, and so there we have that. So now we've got our sales broken out by who we made the sales to, and it adds up to that 294305. So notice our total sales are this 9002. It's not tying out to total sales because most of these sales I made using a deposit form. Remember all these sales I used made it making a deposit form, which isn't what QuickBooks is kind of designed to do. That means you lose some of that detail. But this one, for example, most of these are in place with an invoice or sales receipts, the forms QuickBooks is designed to use, and therefore you have this subsidiary report. So if all your sales were made with invoices and sales receipts and you assigned a customer, which you pretty much have to do, if you're using those forms, this report would basically tie out. Let's open another one just to see the sales by item. So that's why usually on the income statement, you wouldn't break out all of your income lines by customer, like we did kind of here, unless you're doing like gig work or something like that. So let's go on over here and look at sales, sales by product service. Let's do that one and go from 010122 to 123122, run it, running. So now we've got the actual things that we sold, which once again ties out to the 22943 here, only the items where we actually used invoices and sales receipts are being picked up here. If you only recorded revenue with the forms designed to do so, invoices and sales receipts, and you assigned an item, inventory or service item, the thing you sold, this would tie out to basically your total income over here. And therefore you would only want, usually your idea would be only to have a couple income line items, and then all the detail would be broken out in the subsidiary reports, unless you're recording with deposits. Okay, let's go to the first tab or the second tab and say, how do the bank feeds fit into this? If I refresh this, it might pick this one up. Now the dates are wrong because this date is actually before the one that I put in place. So, but let's try it, let's refresh it. Actually, did I do the Google or did I do Skillshare? I can't even remember.  This is serious, crying out loud. I think I did this one. It's still the dates before, so it might not pick it up. I might have to change the date, but I'm gonna go into it and see if I can match it. And so there's the invoice. So the invoice is, actually, I think I tied it out to 1378, this one. So let's try this one. And that one's way before, so let's see if I can match that one. And it doesn't give me anything to match it to. I'll just change the date up here and bring it up to the end of October. That's when I entered. There it is. Okay, so there's the sales receipt. Now obviously, you probably wouldn't have this big difference in the dates, so it would find it. If this sales receipt was closer in date, I made the sales receipt actually after the deposit, which is why QuickBooks wouldn't have picked it up, you would think by default. If this was put in there before the date that deposit happened, the correct timeframe, then you would think QuickBooks might pick it up. And let's just test that out just for the fun of it. If I go back on over here and I say, let's say this happened, let's just change the date on it to eight one and see if QuickBooks, this date, sale, right, don't mix. Okay, sales date is gonna be, okay, let's do that. I'm gonna save it and close it. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up horribly. And then I'm gonna go back here. I'm gonna close this out and I'm gonna refresh the screen, refresh the screen with a refresh button, and see if QuickBooks picks that up because it's basically a deposit now. So yeah, so now it matched it. So now it found it. So there you go. So it should kind of do that because the sales receipt is kind of like a deposit form. Now, when I match this, when I actually hit match, it's not gonna do anything. It's not gonna record anything new because the deposit had already been made. Although it wasn't made with a deposit form, it was made with the sales receipt. So I'll match that out and boom, that's one method that can be used.
