Hey traders, this is Tosh. I go by T Bradley 90 in the my investing club chat a general reminder for those who do not know MIC is having a one-year anniversary event where bow is going to be trading live in front of our members It's coming up August 17th mark your calendars as an added benefit to our members The event is 100% exclusively entirely free for annual and lifetime members While lifetime on top of that get extra coaching before the event and guaranteed front-row seating While most charged for these events we show our support by making it free again for annual and lifetime members If you are interested in signing up and attending for this event DM T Bradley 90 in MIC chat and or email myself at Tosh at my investing club calm Now today we have a very special video for you guys as one of our head Moderators Austin who goes by aloha trader in chat is back for his weekly Thursday webinar He has both long and short biased and Austin goes into talking about MIC strategies Market conditions and he takes members questions live and not only him, but this week T Bradley 90 Myself was a guest host and it was so much fun Answering questions and giving a different perspective on anything that the members asked So it was a very fun Q&A between the both of us While this is just a preview of the full-length two-hour webinar If you want to watch the full-length video or any of our exclusive content then become an MIC member All right All right, so let's go So this this webinar is going to be talking about self-awareness now This is one that I kind of wanted to do for a very long time I wanted to talk about self-awareness as a trader because Try being the best trader you can be like you really can't compare like bow always says you can't compare your level one to someone else's level 20 you really can't and and like we were just kind of talking about this in after hours how Or agent agent was talking about this in after hours how you know you can sit next to the you can sit next to the best trader in the world and Still not trade like them and that's because we all see the market a little bit differently, right? There's always that little something different that each and like core fundamentally that like it spreads out through the Through many different forks in the row when it gets to the surface level of what we're thinking about when we see a Stock move or when we see a stock stuff or something But there's that core difference like that core different understanding that could be slightly different at the core that just you know like That when you when you bring into the service, it's you know We're in two different spots even though we're only this different at the court branches out So we're gonna be I'm gonna I want to go over specific examples about how you can use your own self-awareness to your advantage and how You can kind of protect yourself for against some Potential, you know just common bad trades and you can try to eliminate that yeah, so this one gonna be a little bit different I'm gonna go over some important trades and I say that again with a grain of salt We're entering into the summer and the important trades. I'm trying to pick out the ones where lessons can be learned Not nothing really spectacular this week, but got some trades in it in here and there We're gonna go over weekly mark market sentiment every single week. I think that's a good reminder for us all but kind of like maybe nudge our nudge our own Decision-making's on profit-taking or entries or how conservative or liberal you want to be with with your trading I just trained. I just changed key topics and traded topics. I think it sounds good There's one or two that I kind of want to go over then kind of like a highlight of questions lately and And we're I'm gonna bring back the cypher for this one because self-awareness is at the heart of this video I think it's deeply rooted in psychology of trading and and that's what we're gonna be going over mostly today and after we're gonna do the Q&A session as always so get your questions ready and Tosh is gonna help me out with the answers Yeah, Tosh is gonna help answer the questions and we're gonna get to hear get to hear us from Tosh what? What he has to say to the group? He got some good stuff for us. All right, so important trades This is trade I made I think yesterday. Yeah, yesterday RWLK it so this This stock was a stock that announced the exercise of warrants right before the market opened and it totally took this mean dump right this mean dump and they they they announced that the exercise of the warrants was at $7.50 and so this is what I consider to kind of be Kind of mixed news like obviously it's bad news right like that That it's being offered at a discount But the fact that the price was $7.50. This is the daily as a little snapshot of the daily chart We were trading in the threes right we were trading in the threes and on this on the PR that it had Gapped up to like eight nines and and and bought about ten and you know the fact that we off Offered you know the warrants got exercised to investors at a price of $7.50. That's pretty that's pretty high Like I didn't know what whether to consider that it's good news or bad news. So it was pretty conflicting So this was kind of like I'm kind of this is one trade and these are all not really the best trades But I the reason why they're not the best trades is because I'm not actually that good at trading three takers at once I don't often do it But like this is this is a I've been trying to get a lot better with my low-hanging group trades and just Putting fantasy orders out there and hoping that they get filled well right around this time I kind of got filled on a couple different trades both at once and I really wasn't used to it So like you see like I my covers are very conservative on here Like I sort of ELTK. This was a this was a low-hanging through play I posted that I had orders in the 50s 50s 60s 70s and 80s and I only got the first one and Like I immediately get the fill and I got the fill on this BLI and to like this was actually kind of a furu short Just using the lines basing it off four dollar resistance. I think I got a furu push into me So that was really nice. I got the fill Um, but like I here I got filled and I got filled over here and I was like wow like and they both just tanked right away I just I kind of just took them off without thinking one thing I should have done was just kind of had the orders Near low a day that's always where like my targets should be on these low-hanging through plays is the low of the day IFRX was a trade I took and the reason why I want to emphasize this trade is because this was a very good SSR trade There's also a good example of just following the trend like this stock was is a bust a chart It was down 90 on like like failed trial news or something just really bad news for a further company and Whenever a stock's down 90 like the first thing that the first thing everyone thinks about this bag holder Like how look at how many people are stuck all these people are stuck and um You know, you got to think that there's going to be a lot of selling or On the flip side a lot of dip buying so at least you can identify the two sides of the trades Right, there's going to be a whole lot of selling, but it's also down 90 percent There's always going to be those on sale buyers So I were people trying to average down in their position thinking that hey, this is just at 35 and now it's at 5 Like maybe this is overreaction. It could bounce back up to 20 You don't really see that a whole lot, but there's always that idea So these are the two conflicting ideas on the trade and I thought the back holders were going to be stronger Because it was like 90 percent sometimes you may get the bounce buyers on 40 or 50 percent dip buyers But 90 percent is pretty severe and I figured there's going to be a lot of exiting Uh, yeah, so those are the trades. I was going to go over now. So the market sentiment lately has um Well, it's been two weeks since I did my webinar, right the the week that the the week that I had surgery was really was really good like Kind of when solely was just starting we've had a lot of market we've had kind of a lot of market participants But we've definitely kind of been slowing down. I think solely in el tk definitely the good a positive like active buy market runners that um are you know leading the way Obln's recovery if you if you take a look at obln like when it It totally had a turn of tank. It totally came back to make new highs. That's that's a really positive thing I think for the market sentiment g and ca was an insane runner kind of put shorts on their butt a little bit, right? Definitely in favor of the long side The negatives is that some I feel like somewhere's finally here like like I remember like Yes, yesterday and today like it's just kind of in crickets, right at the open like just not much of anything Like today, I even said like it looks like it's going to be a day where you just leave early and don't lose a lot of money rwlk exercising that warrant. It's definitely not healthy, but Um, I should have left this as black and not red, but the news isn't healthy I think that overall that it's bad news that we got that Um That that announcement right before the open I think that scares a lot more virus I put it in the red category DMP is offering was not nice, you know that that just kind of it ruined a play kind of it It ruins the play for longs, but it also kind of ruins play for shorts who didn't get it because now like People feel like the market's dead again Like people feel like maybe no one's going to buy because they're afraid everyone's going to offer No one buys and no one's going to get good prices short at spot totally got annihilated These are all like the negative factors in the market So we're kind of in the middle, but I definitely feel summers here and we're we've got a little bit slower time to fear the worst to fear Is the july earning season? I think this is the slowest time of the market and it's coming up next month so that's definitely um What i'm not looking forward to that that might be a time to even take off But hopefully normally in the summers there's always that one black swan like as it's super dead There's that one black swan that throws everyone on its ass That's my spark of hope right now. I'm hoping we get it. ABIO is kind of that runner Hopefully we get an even stronger one something that like really ignites something that something with good news Maybe something that even trump tweets. I don't know Um, something that can give off something that ideally something that can give off some sympathies Right like the shipping sector has a lot of sympathies or you know like the bitcoin That's something that it's going to um ignite some kind of sympathy Um, yeah, so right around I think we're right about here We're trying to get into the buy now ask questions later But summer is kind of like weighing down on this decision that we keep moving back to the dead market I don't know if we're truly going to get in this market before july earning season It's going to take a black swan and maybe a week of goodness, but that dead market's coming I think we're going to be pushed back a little bit This is where I think we're at for those new this is the three segments of the market that I think that we um That I think that we have in small cap land There's the market where everything rips and then everyone gets so used to buying everything and then Everything gets long crowded then everything starts to tank because everyone gets too overly long bias on everything And then nobody buys anything because everything's tanks and then we end up dead markets That's just quick recap of the cycle So how do you want to start this bug you want to ask questions or should we talk about random topics? How do you want to go about this? Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, I did hit the record button. Yeah, so, um, uh I know that you had something that you've been dying to to to talk to the guests about maybe we um We can give them a time to ask whatever questions feel free to start asking questions guys and um the floor is yours buddy Yeah, man Well, there's you know, there's just a lot of things that I want to talk about today and that new traders kind of Message me daily and like one that I usually get every single day Is you know new traders come into m i c and they see you or they see me or alex You know maybe even brian anybody, you know making money And I want to kind of exercise a little bit on the topic of like are you ready for real capital? Are you paper trading?  Are you even doing it right that will make you better because there are ways to back test that sure You'll be able to back test and then there are ways to really make you a better trader And you know, I see so many people dude. I had a guy today that was like dude. I've got $25,000 in my account. I just lost $4,000. I don't know what to do. I'm like, bro That's you cannot be risking that much and let alone you can't be guessing man. You cannot be guessing so You know really quick just to just to the new guys on when it comes into m i c or coming into any chat room or Or community or whatever do not Like like austin said earlier, you know Do not compare your chapter 30 or chapter 40, you know to your chapter one, you know me and bow or alex You know, we're all on our own journeys, you know, I'm nowhere close to bows and alex is on his own We're all on our own chapters And if you're chapter one and you're still asking, you know, what short float percentage How much should I be risking? You know, should I play big caps or small caps guys? If you're risking real money for the love of god, please put a break on that, you know Put a stop sign in front of you just for At least a couple weeks to a month. I just man I feel like it's such an obligation of mine nowadays to keep you guys safe And to make sure you're not doing what I did in the beginning or what austin did to me or alex Yeah, you really learn about uh, you really learn How much capital is worth when you just throw away money on days when you're like, I totally could have saved that, you know So so when I first started trading, man, you know the the thing about new traders, man is here's what they do They start buying anything that's up, right? Like they buy pre-market breakouts They buy it because it's up and the thing that um the thing that New shorters do as well is they do the same thing. So just because it's up they'll start shorting like Like breakouts are high of date, you know breakouts and this is terrible, man Like you don't just short a stock because it's up And you don't just buy a stock because it's up or you don't buy a stock just because it's on sale Or like declining a bunch, right? Like I see a lot of guys Buying a stock when it goes red Because it's on like a discount, right and it's like dude, that's the worst thing you do So it's about establishing patterns and these levels and understanding our curriculum At m i c like the cool thing about m i c guys is like we've got we put a bunch of heads together And we were like man, you know, not only can we make ourselves A curriculum to make us trade better But how can we keep a thousand plus traders safe? And that's why we literally developed, you know day one the first bounce long Day one the death line short day two the low hanger that ran and got slaughtered from the day before So now bag holders are going to want out in day two for a short But there's you know, obviously there's rules and guidelines between all this stuff And we recommend that you watch the videos But we do have a curriculum that works And the number one thing that I sorry osso. I'll let you get in there number one thing That I see new traders come in is they're trying to trade them all And whether it's real money, whether it's you know paper money, it doesn't even matter It's about identifying your process as a trader So what works for you and whether a long works for you whether a short works for you and then mastering one setup So you are a master of one and not a jack of all trades I don't want you in the first week of your trading career Trying to do death lines trying to do first bounces trying to do day twos trying to do options I want you to zero in and focus on one for at least like a week On paper and see if that feels right for you if longs feel completely Just unrelatable to you then try shorts for a week and see if that like it's like I swear to god like i'm so short bias It's like a different part of the brain. That's like like chemical reactions. I swear It's like i'm like using the left side versus the right side or vice versus So I want you guys to kind of pinpoint what will work for you Rinse and repeat on paper and then once you prove it to yourself that you can do it On the right kind of back testing. That's when you start risking real money is when you never go Oh man, I need alex to show me the watch list. I need to know what he's thinking to bank on this That's not the point of a community the point of a community Is to get yes to get help but to get clarification different perspectives and all that but to also go in already knowing what you're doing And if you don't already know what you're doing, then I want you to back test on paper So that's my starting rank. Yeah, I agree. I agreed and It's funny. It's like you're explaining a lot of my my my dms daily And yeah, kind of what like brian just talked about Some guys only have one shot at this thing Let me tell you the way that you really only have one shot at this thing is when you have a $25,000 account and you're risking $4,000 Right, that's it. That's that's a you know, that's a little too much risk I would say and like the name of the game the name of this game is risk risk management is king and One thing I wanted to interject with you that you said is that you were talking about like low hanging fruit and first bounce and And death line setups one thing I really like about these setups That maybe you can go over into your process on is the Like how do you determine risk on these setups because one thing I do like about all of these setups is there's there's a really good risk That you can that a pretty solid risk that you can base off on on all of these setups a lot of the time So I'd like to hear your how do you how you tackle that approach on how you risk on these setups? Well, I'll go over all of the setups in specifics But you should know I'm really only a short bias trader. So guys when I speak to you I'm very much speaking from a short bias mindset and a guy who longs probably once every six months So but But when it comes to you know, let's go in order. So like when it comes to the first bounce, you know The worst thing you can do Is chase the top, you know If if a stock is a perfect first bounce candidate I'm waiting for a massive massive big move to the upside. It cannot have dilution You know, it's way over v-wap. It's a very strong parabolic because it's like a bouncing ball when it comes back down, right?  So you have the notch You have v-wap and then I'm immediately if I'm getting in I'm setting a stop Probably 30 cents under v-wap. If I get that slam, I'm out of here. The machine's gonna take me out But that's more along the lines of a first bounce and that's got to be on day one That cannot be on day two for me to feel comfortable. It can't be on day three These are less chances of it working, right? Even though it still can Uh, so number two number two, you know, I'm a short bias trader. So the number one thing I'm looking for guys is not only backside I am looking for a slam under v-wap and corresponding with if a big death candle slam under v-wap Corresponds with what's called the death line break or like a neck snapper and then Instantaneously a big support the death line was taken out And then I'm immediately getting in and I will scale up to about 50 percent of say whatever it was So say the death candle or just above v-wap and I'm setting a hard stop out So that's kind of like, you know, like the opposite of a first bounce long is I'm waiting for these very very clear indications of panic So whether it's a panic to the upside to buy on the dip or it's a panic to the downside to short that pop I like it and you know what's funny is um You and I like always have this joke between us like we we you and I have the exact same favorite setup And it's it's almost it's in correlation with the death line setup But it's that you know, I'm talking about that first short that on that first bounce after It's the best. It's the best setup ever. Like if you want to talk about it, uh, it's Well, the The reason why I like it so much bro is like before any trade I like to put my mindset in the opposite side, right? Like as traders as the short buy is trader I need to know going in what the longs are feeling thinking and what they're pre planning already So say it's thought or like actually awesom. Can you pull up a chart right now? Sure, bro Pull up. Um, what was it? Uh, I was kind of away from screen say, but it was a ctrv, right?  I I'm on a phone. So it's really small right now But that that slam right there is exactly what I'm looking for.  I did not expect that to happen


Hello, and welcome to this online seminar that provides an introduction to protection against surges. We will review what a surge is, explain its effect on circuits, the root causes, and describe the standards used to define them. We will also cover how a device can be protected, giving a simple example. In order to understand what a surge is, let's consider a simple circuit. A voltage applied across a device, that is the device under test, or DUT, causes a current, I, to flow through it. When a surge occurs, the current, as well as the voltage, can increase so much that it can damage the DUT. Many events can generate surges, each of them leading to different types and levels of surges. Switching transients occur when lightning strikes near a power line or a data line.  Electrostatic discharges, or ESDs, occur with the release of static electricity in the circuit generated by the human contact, for example. The standards related to each type of surge all have the same prefix, IEC 61004. The standard for lighting and switching is IEC 61004.5, also known as the EOS standard for electrical over-stress. It can be a high-power surge. For electrostatic discharges, the standard is IEC 61004.2, ESD is a low-power surge. We will now look at these standards in more detail, starting with electrostatic discharge. Let's consider this basic circuit with V being the voltage across the device under test. IEC 61004.2 is defined with a single electrical parameter and a single environmental parameter. The electrical parameter is the peak voltage of the surge. The peak is shown in the graph. The higher this peak, the stronger the surge is. The environmental parameter is key to describing the ESD, since the electrostatic discharge behavior depends on the distance between the circuit and what causes the surge. This difference in distance represents two cases. In the first, the surge generator is already in contact when the overvoltage occurs. When in contact, the system must be able to manage a peak of 8 kilovolts according to the standard. In the second, the generator is already charged and is brought close to the circuit. The charge flows through the air. In the case of air discharge, the system must be able to manage 15 kilovolts. Applications, including USB, HDMI, or Ethernet, where users can touch the circuit through electrical connectors, must be compliant with this standard. Now let's look at IEC 610045. This type of surge is known as electrical overstress or EOS. In the case of lightning, the main mechanisms leading to surge voltages are direct lightning strikes on outdoor circuits, which inject high currents and produce overvoltages, indirect lightning strikes that induce voltages and currents on the conductors outside and inside a building, and direct-to-earth discharges, which can induce electromagnetic disturbances in adjacent equipment. The purpose of the IEC 610045 standard is to provide a model to simulate these surges and to be able to check if the equipment is able to survive them. The generator that models the surge is defined by two setups, open circuit and short circuit. For open circuits, the surge generated must reach its peak voltage in 1.2 microseconds and fall down to half this peak value in 50 microseconds. The peak voltage to be considered depends on the location of the circuit compared to the lightning. If the circuit is in a protected environment, the peak is 25 volts, whereas if the circuit is outdoors and connected to the grid, the peak voltage can be 6 kilovolts or even higher. For short circuits, the surge generated must reach its current peak in 8 microseconds and fall to half its peak value in 20 microseconds. The peak current depends on the resistance placed between the generator and the circuit. A table must therefore be used to account for this. The peak current is defined by a resistance and a peak voltage. The resistance depends on how the DUT to be protected is connected. When the surge happens between two lines not connected to the ground, the serial resistance is two ohms. When the surge happens between two lines connected to the ground, the serial resistance is 12 ohms. When the surge happens between two communication lines where there is data exchange, the serial resistance is 42 ohms. To summarize what we have covered so far, the surge is specified with a peak voltage, which depends on DUT proximity from the lightning surge and the level of primary protection upstream in the circuit. Its duration is also specified, and this does not vary, being 8 over 20 microseconds for the current and 1.2 over 50 microseconds for the voltage. A resistance is specified according to how the protected DUT is connected. We now know how to describe electrostatic discharges and electrical overstress. So let's explore two of the most important families of protection devices. Transils that are transient voltage suppressors, or TVS, and trisels that are crowbar diodes. Both transil and trisel are trademark devices from ST Microelectronics. Let's start with the transils or transient voltage suppressors. In order to protect the DUT, the transil should be connected in parallel. Step by step, let's look at how the circuit with the transil is going to behave. When the voltage surges, the voltage across the protection and across the DUT increases. At some point, the voltage reaches a value called the breakdown voltage, or VBR. At this moment, the current flows through the protection because of the avalanche effect in the diode. The increase in current in the transil up to the peak current, IPP, causes the voltage to increase slightly and reach a value called the clamping voltage, or VCL. Once the peak value is passed, the current decreases and the breakdown voltage is reached. The current then stops flowing through the transil and the voltage can decrease down to its operating value. A transil thus clamps the voltage to a value between its breakdown voltage and its clamping voltage. Protection devices with a transil-like behavior are used to protect against ESD and against low power EOS. Now let's look at protection with a trisel. The trisel is connected in the same way as a TVS, in parallel with the device. The initial behavior of a trisel is equivalent to the transils. The voltage increases up to the breakdown voltage. The current then starts flowing through the trisel and causes its voltage to increase to a value called the breakover voltage, or VBO. The trisel is said to be triggered and acts as a closed switch, which short circuits the lines. The voltage decreases to the on value. The switch is closed and conducts the current. In order to reopen it, the current must decrease to a value called the holding current, or IH. As soon as the current reaches this value, the current stops flowing in the trisel and the system goes back to its initial state. The advantage of a trisel over a transil is that the trisel can support higher currents. The drawback is that before adding a trisel in a circuit, designers must make sure that the current, in normal conditions, is lower than the holding current. Why is IH a key parameter? And why must designers make sure that the current is lower than the holding current? The reason is that if the current can never get back to the holding current, the trisel, triggered during the surge, never gets back to its initial state, and so always short circuits the lines. So now let's summarize all we've looked at about protection. In this seminar we have described the two main standards, IEC 610042 and 45. We have described their key parameters and which standard you should consider for an application. In addition, we have described two reliable types of protection available from ST. Transils as transient voltage suppressors clamp the voltage, while trisels as crowbar diodes short circuit the lines.

Η μορφή μου εξεύτητα είναι σε διευτερικές φορές της ίδινας που βρίσκονται τα εξοδεύματα του ίδινας, όταν they are en route to Europe, και όταν they are reaching a European soil. My case study is Lesbos Island, which since 2015 is in the epicenter of the so called refugee crisis. Well, I have a long term working experience before coming in the UK as a social worker for various non-governmental organisations, and activist involvement while I was living on Lesbos Island. I was supporting refugees in refugee camps and detention centres on Lesbos before the refugee crisis of 2015. I remember a particular scene when I was walking through the streets of Lesbos, of the capital of Lesbos Island, where I found myself on the shores, which are very close to the city centre, where I confronted various disposed life jackets, clothes and shoes and several personal belongings from refugees who have arrived all this period of time. It was really a mostly difficult situation because I was feeling that I was entering in a crime scene and in any time I was feeling that I was going to confront a dead body, which was a shock. Here I wanted to show you these two wallets. They are made from disposed life jackets. They are collected by refugees and activists on the island of Lesbos. It's the safe passage workshop from the Lesbos Solidarity people who collected life jackets and made wallets and bags and various things and they sell them in order to earn money. It's a network where refugees and local people work together. Currently I'm in an uncertain period because I'm waiting for my VIVA examination, but for sure I would like to continue as a researcher since I found many interesting aspects of this issue that I would like to research in more depth and disseminate them to a wider audience, to students and even to policymakers. In order to make them see that their political decisions, they affect people's lives many times, not in the good possible way. Sometimes they do not do good but they harm.


Oh my lord! Hi, I'm Lavi and I'm Oli and this is our hero Bumblebee. Together we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season 3 here in South America. Good money world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 329 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the town of Nazca in Peru. We've spent the last 12 days going through the mountains inland. We went to Colca Canyon, but that is a massive view. Absolutely incredible. We kind of went to the Rainbow Mountain. Look, look, look. There's Rainbow Mountain. And there we are down there. Rainbow Mountain there. We are there. Very close. Close enough. We went to Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu! And now after two days of crazy riding, we are back on the coast and we're hot again. Totally hot. So let me show you guys where we're heading today. So after weeks in the mountains, we are finally here back over near the coast. And today we are going to be checking out the lineas de Nazca, the Nazca Lions. And we don't exactly know how long that's going to take. But afterwards we'll be just making our way as far north as we can go. Yes, we are here in the town of Nazca to see the famous awesome ancient Nazca Lions. But we'll tell you more about that on the way. First thing to do is find some breakfast. We will stop at the supermarket because I am hungry. It's already eight o'clock, so better hit the road. Let's go. Just stop here. Okay. Twenty minutes later. What have you got for us? I went a little bit over the top but we were so desperate the last days for something to eat. So I got a lot of snacks and things like potato chips, two packages, a lot of noodles. Yes. Some bread, some breakfast. Yummy. It's like with honey as well. Olives. Oh my goodness. A lot of cereal bars. Some cheese, nice breakfast juice and like a whole bag of cupcakes. This is a feast. How much did everything cost? I think it wasn't too cheap. It's like 15 pounds. Okay. But 15 pounds for all of that feast. Yes. And we have a little bit of difficulty here to find like vegetarian food. So this is a perfect option when we are hungry and desperate to not die. Okay.  A little longer than a few minutes later. So we have arrived here at the airport and I think we are going to go on a flight, right? From England. England. Germany. Germany. Deutschland. I tried to bargain him down but he's like no, no, 60, 60. Okay, 60 then. So let me explain guys, basically there are two ways to see the Nazca lines. You can either climb the observation tower where you can see a couple of the lines or you can take a little plane because they have a little airport here in Nazca.  How many people? Six passengers. Six passengers. Can you show me what we will see? So here is the route. 18 figures. 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, more paredones ring aqueducts and mountain design. Wow, so we'll see 18 figures. Wow, that's incredible. More, three places more. And how long is the flight? 40 minutes. 40 minutes. He's telling us basically that we shouldn't really eat breakfast before going on the flight because people often get sick. Small breakfast. I hope we can trust our pilot. It's just going there. Okay. Do you have any last words? I asked the guy how many crashes they'd had and he was like, recently? No, I think he said they like had four or five or so. But he said that was when they had one pilot. But he said now they've got two pilots. One pilot had a heart attack. Oh my Lord. Shouldn't ask, eh? Exactly. Don't ask their tell. Oh my goodness. That's cozy. Gracias, bien. Glad I didn't throw up. I was feeling pretty sick towards the end. Wow. Oh, the guy's throwing up over there.  Not at all. No, you're over it? Yeah, I'm over it. Yeah. Which Nascar line is your favorite? No, the monkey. The monkey. In 1954, the Pan-American road was built. Okay. They didn't know anything about the lines. No. And in 1974, 1976, the flight over the Nascar lines started. No way. And when they flew over, they realized that they cut... That they cut the lizard in half. No way. Thank you so much, Javier. No, thanks to you guys. It was a pleasure. It was a pleasure. Really silly because I bought some cheese and we were really excited for some cheese sandwiches right now. But look at the cheese. It's like completely melted. So I won't open it right now and we will just have some bread with some margarine. Thank you. All I can say is wow, wow, wow.  Yeah, absolutely. Really cool. Here's the runway right here. So it's a very, very small airport with some very, very small planes. Wow, but that was crazy. That's definitely an awesome way to see the Nascar lines from above. It was a little bit over budget for us. In the end, it cost us 60 US dollars per person to take the flight. But then you had to pay as well like an airport tax. And also you had to pay a sort of ticket to the Minister of Culture to see the lines. So in total, it was about 80 US dollars or about 65 pounds per person. Yeah, a little bit over budget, but of course it's like nice at the end that we have done it and that we could admire these figures from the air. I mean, how incredible is that? Yeah, it's just so incredible. These pictures have been there for like 2000 years, 2000 years plus. And it's interesting, the way that they make these geoglyphs was simply that they just removed the top layer of soil, which was a sort of darker color to reveal a lighter colored undersoil. And that's literally all they did. They just literally just moved the rocks out the way to create these patterns. Incredible. But they just did that on like a massive scale. And it's just crazy that even 2000 years later, they are still there. And you can still see them. You can see them from the sky.  There's a cat. There's a dog. There's a hummingbird. It's just crazy that after all this time we can still recognize those animals, even though we have no idea why they made them. We don't know much about the Nazca culture in general. But we can see that's a monkey 2000 years later. Incredible. So I didn't get to say a whole lot about the Nazca lines when we were up in the plane because it was incredibly loud and I was going to throw up. Yeah, we had to concentrate not throwing up. Yeah, exactly. But I have a few facts if I can remember them about the Nazca lines. There are actually hundreds of Nazca lines and over 70 of them are zoomorphic. So based on animals and in total they added up all of the lines and they're more than 1300 kilometers of lines in this region. And they are anywhere between 2500 and 2000 years old. The lines were actually mentioned in literature by the Spanish in the 1500s. But at the time they just called them trail markers, trails. It wasn't until people started actually flying that they could fully appreciate and see the scale of this area. And it was in 1927 when a military pilot noted that he could see figures when he flew over. Yeah, incredible. And they said as well that today they actually discovered more and more with drones. And our co-pilot Javier told us that when they built the Pan-American road the road were actually about to take out into the desert. When they built this road they didn't even realize that they built the road directly through one of the geoglyphs which was the lizard. So they actually cut the lizard in half with the Pan-American highway. That's so funny. Wow. Yeah and over the years there have been some incidents. Javier told us about one guy I think it was like five years ago. A drunk guy with a truck basically managed to find his way out into the desert and apparently damaged three of the geoglyphs in one big joyride through the desert but they find him a lot of money. No, that's all. So now we are heading out of Nazca. Our time here is done and we're going to be basically following the Pan-American highway north now and we'll see how far we can get today. Yes, all the way to Ecuador. I can see a glyph from here. Yes. I don't think the GoPro will pick it up but there is definitely something on that hill over there. What is that? I don't know. Oh it's a whale. It's the whale. Yeah, it's a whale I think. No? Or is it the cat? It's the cat. It's the cat. Yes. Incredible. Nice.  It's amazing that currently we are actually riding right through where we were but from here I can hardly see anything. There's just a couple of lines here and there. So we are coming up to the observation towers here which means we're also going to intersect the lizard and let's see what the lizard looks like from the ground and we see it at all. On one side is the tail and on one side is the rest of the body. Can't see anything. Yeah I saw it as well and on the other side I saw some lines as well. Well from the ground it looks like absolutely nothing. There's only from above that you can really see. Man that's a lizard right there. Incredible. Incredible. What a place. Yeah a very special place but by the way it's 35 degrees at the moment I'm boiling hot coming like straight from the mountains where we have like nice 11 degrees I'm like I'm a fried body at the moment. Yeah this morning we were like should we wear our coats or should we wear our new like under armour which where we can be a bit more breathable and we were like no no we'll try the coats for one more day it can't be that warm and it's literally like ok just reach 36 degrees so from tomorrow we're going to be going to our under armour and motocross tops. For sure. For sure. Yeah I don't know why but I'm so affected by the heat and I can feel my head already. I thought always that I'm a beach girl but I think I'm a mountain girl actually.  No I'm an apaca. We just saw that there's some geoglyphs on the hill over here and there's no one here so I'm pretty sure we'll be able to go here for free to have a look. It's just nice to be in the shade for a minute. Wow I'm boiling. Lavi's just staying behind in the shade I'm going to come and have a look at these geoglyphs so we can just about see them across the hill here. Wow. Maybe an owl. Giddy pig. I'm just making them up. On the other side as well in the very distance there's a couple of people on the hill over there and we can see lines across a lot of these hills as well. What a landscape. Ah. Here we go. It's got them here. Yes indeed an owl. Some sort of thing. Another thing. Some people. Incredible. How are you doing? I'm hot. Hot. I'm so incredibly hot. Yeah we're going to change from the coats now to our armor because it's just unbearable otherwise. Time to drink some water as well.  Look at that. Breezy. Better. Better hey. Alright let's hit the desert. Wow there's even more geoglyphs on that hill just over there and on this hill over there. Yes absolutely incredible. It seems like that every hill here has actually like a figure on it. There's so many around. Really really crazy. So this area is called Palpa and apparently this is a civilization that even preceded the Nazca by a thousand years. So they estimate that these geoglyphs on the rocks around here were made 3,000 years ago. So the Nazca people actually copied these guys. Basically yes. Yes. There's one just over there. Yes. Beautiful and boiling. In the town of Ica and this is where we'll be stopping for the night but actually we won't be stopping in the town of Ica because right next to the town is an absolutely magical place and it's called Huacachina Ica. We'll be there in a minute. Once we get through the traffic. Wow look all the people walking up there. So can you believe that this is just outside of the town of Ica the craziest sand dunes ever and there's like oasis in the middle. So I think we've arrived right? Yeah it looks like it. This is it. This is Huacachina. Yeah welcome. Apparently there's a lagoon in the middle as well. So I think that's where we're headed hey? Yes. Oh I bet so many people getting stuck here. Yeah we just have to see how sandy the place is. Yeah if we can get there actually you know. Yeah or as well if there's a lagoon as well if there's any parking. When I saw online that this was like an oasis in the middle of the dunes I didn't really expect this to be honest. I mean this is super busy here. Wow it's really busy actually.  Yeah. Wow and some people walking all the way up there. Wow. Yeah there's a fellow hiking all the way to the top. Wow put on him. Okay so the road has turned into sand.  Alright now we're talking. Okay it looks like it's not that far ahead. You see. It's just so busy here I can't believe it. Yeah not even the busy season. No. Desert Nights Hospitagin Restaurant there it is. Oh my god. Yeah I'm not sure there is parking to be honest.  Yeah. Oh my god. It's quite a sandy place yeah. Okay. Anyway let's stop here and see how we get on. Okay. Eventually. Happy to live. Yes welcome to the oasis of Huacachina. Look around. So it's basically a lake with palm trees surrounded by giant dunes. It's truly paradise here. But there's not just sand dunes here it's literally sand dunes the entire way around. I really really can't believe this place. It's like out of this world. It was super busy to come in and really really annoying but once you are in and you settle down a little bit it's just paradise here. It's well. And our place that we're staying is just here which is called Desert Nights Hospitagin and luckily they have parking for Bumblebee and they have a swimming pool as well. Time to check out this swimming pool in a minute. We paid 15 pounds for both in a dormitory room so at the moment we are just on our own but maybe some people are joining us later. So I'm really glad we got here before sunset so we can basically just chill here, watch the sunset over the dunes, maybe go for a swim. We're in paradise now. Yeah it was a pretty cool day today like being in the air, seeing the Nazca lines and then riding through the desert is just amazing. So I'm super super impressed. So that's it from us today. I hope you enjoyed the video. If so please give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, share the video with your friends and family, comment below and we will see you next time. So welcome to the other area that our accommodation has. A pool. Next to the dunes. What? I'm speechless. Yes.


Thank you so much, everybody, for coming and watching this press conference. The DG will give you a few new words, so we should be happy to take your questions. Well, thank you. Thank you, Frédéric, and I want to thank you very much for having taken the time, as he said, short notice to come, but I felt it could be important to update you on the situation that we had at the border governors. There's been a lot of interest around this, and I felt that it would be necessary and perhaps do it in an efficient way by having you together and, of course, take any individual request later on. But at this point, let me start. Normally I like to take your questions directly, but let me give you a bit of an update because there are so many things piling up and coming one after the other that perhaps it would be useful to give you the latest. So the most important thing that I would like to report to you today is that as a result of very intensive consultations I had with Iran, Iran has finally welcomed and accepted my initiative to engage in a focused and systematic effort aimed at attempting to clarify the number of outstanding issues that you are, I suppose, familiar with that have to do with different things, presence of uranium particles and also doubts about certain material that exists in Iran which were not declared before and that we had been discussing about for quite a long time. You may remember when I returned from my last trip to Tehran that I told you that I had raised this issue directly with the Foreign Minister Zarif and the Vice President and President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Dr. Salehi, indicating that it would be important if we could try to go beyond the exchange of letters and messages which, to me, seemed a lot like talking past each other on this issue and try to really tackle them and try to solve them. So this happened in Tehran and this week I raised the issue again with colleagues in Tehran and here with a permanent mission and finally we were able to have an understanding and we are going to be starting this process of focused analysis of the situation with technical meeting which will take place in Iran at the beginning of April which I hope will be followed by other technical or political meetings as agreed by both sides. We have to start the process and see how far we can go. My intention is to try to come to a satisfactory outcome for all of this in time for the next regular session of the Board of Governors next June. But of course this is my intention and we have to see, we have to roll up our sleeves and start working. I'm very glad to tell you that the Board of Governors has just welcomed this understanding, this agreement between Iran and the IEA so we are encouraged by this development. So I don't want to get too much into considerations and perhaps leave that to the questions that you may have but these are the facts and with that I'm in your hands. Thank you very much. Hi, Raghida Bahnam from Al Arabiya. Does this new agreement that you reached with the Iranians have to do with the additional protocol that was the essential problem? And did you do these talks within this week to try and avoid the Board of Governors to issue a statement in fear of retaliation from Iran? The first question, no. This has nothing to do with the additional protocol. The additional protocol, its provisional application or the suspension of it is something different that has to do with the way in which we interact with Iran and the kinds of authorities that we have. This thing is about some very concrete cases that we have, which we have not been able to clarify up until now. So we have decided together, I had this initiative and I proposed this initiative and they agreed that we should sit down at technical level in Tehran and start looking into them one by one. Finally, on your consideration of whether I have done this to avoid something else, no. I do this because this is my job. My job is to clarify everything which is outstanding, which is open. The results or the consequences of our actions is of course in the eye of the beholder and there can be many interpretations. But what we had was, in this case, one very serious set of questions which made me justify a separate report from me to the board and we have now agreed on a specific track, specific channel to try to avoid that. Hi, Digi. Hello. Can we start by having a slight little more level of detail? Yes. Maybe on two points. You say it's at a technical level. Does that mean you'll be meeting Dr. Salehi? Will that be your counterpart for these talks? Would it be you, in fact? Eventually, later on, we are starting at a technical level. It's technical experts. I'm just wondering who that means concretely. We will decide. It's technical experts. You say you want to go through the issues one by one. At the same time, it sounds like you're really talking about everything that was encompassed in one report. Does that mean you have a top issue, if there are several, of which one you want to focus on? What order you want to do these on? What we have decided is that we are going to be talking about all of these issues. We haven't set any priority for any order or any sequence. We are going to be tackling all of them. Of course, in a rational process, you start with something and then you follow with another. But I couldn't tell you now. We just agreed to do it. And now, as you can imagine, the hard part starts. We are going to sit down and see how we do this technically. Perhaps you could spell out how this is different from the usual process then, because you've said you shouldn't be like the usual formal exchanges of letters and talking past each other. One could argue that this is the same thing in a slightly different format. It's a very good point. Let's say that in the normal interactions between a country and the secretariat, there are many ways in which we can try, or we should try, to solve issues when there are doubts. There is one which is, I would say, more formal, whereby we send the communication to the country, indicating that there is question A, B, C, where we don't know why this is in a certain way or another, and we request information. In many cases, in most of the situations, in fact, if you're setting aside Iran, and when we talk about other countries, including Iran, we receive information. This information is analysed by our safeguards experts and analysts. Perhaps there is an iteration, a new question, and then we conclude the issue. In this case, what we saw, what I saw, is that these exchanges were, as I said in my introductory remark, was like talking past each other. We said we had found these things. Why are they there? And what we got were explanations that were not technically credible in some cases. So we asked the same question, we got the same answer. So of the two things, one, either you continue with this, you know, like, you know, a merry-go-round that can last for a long time, or you try something else. And what I said to our Iranian counterparts in Iran is that I felt that we needed to try to discuss this in a different way. Sit down around the table, as we have done in the past, with our technical findings, with our technical doubts and questions, and compare notes. Do it, you know, with a sense of, you know, solution or solving them, instead of limiting ourselves to reiterate things. And I'm glad that this was, you know, welcomed, and we will see how far we can go. But it is different. Yes, it is different because we are trying to sit down around the table and see if we can solve this once and for all. Albert Otti, DPA, German Press Agency. In this agreement or understanding that you have reached with Iran, is there a timeline that you agreed on? Did you agree that you wanted to reach certain steps or something in a specific time? Well, my initiative, and I emphasize it, my initiative is to try to solve this as soon as I can, and in any case, to be able to report back to the Board of Governors on progress that we are making, and hopefully by the next Board in June to have a final outcome. But as you know, and I've said it before, I'm not very adept to deadlines or, you know, setting a date. Sometimes this is done technically, but for this kind of process where we have to discuss difficult matters, I'd rather set a timeline which is notional, which is there. Otherwise, I wouldn't say it. I would say someday. I'm clearly aiming at having a far more clear understanding of these issues by the summer or before. I think this is possible. This is not something impossible. We have information. We want to compare it with our Iranian counterparts. We have a few questions to put to them. And if there is good will, I'm sure we will be able to be in a much better place. I don't know if to solve it, I shouldn't talk about the facts, but this is my aspiration, really. Jordi. Hi, this is Jordi. So you were in Iran and you discussed this bilateral technical agreement for 90 days, and this was in parallel, but you're just announcing it to us today because you had to follow up more discussions in Vienna or how was this working out? Well, this is, as you rightly say, this is in parallel. This is in parallel. The temporary bilateral technical understanding with Iran is in force, continues. And it will continue hopefully for 90 days or until there is an agreement, a political agreement at other levels, as I already explained. Maybe it will change in its nature. This is something that comes on top of it. And this is why, if you allow me, Jordi, your question allows me to see this as something very positive because what we have done this week, really, is to make progress, concrete progress. We've confirmed what we had, we consolidated what we had, and now we are looking into a concrete way to solve a group of issues, a family of issues that is proving quite intractable. So in terms of our work to clarify the situation, in terms of our non-proliferation efforts, it is clearly a gain. That we are achieving by opening this door. For me, it's about opening doors and preventing doors from shutting. On the one hand, the Iranians are clearly telling you you will have less access. That's why you had to make this deal. And at the same time, you expect to clarify more. At the same time, they are limiting your usual access. Isn't that some kind of a contradiction or wishful thinking maybe? A professional optimistic person. Hi, sorry, one more question. Do you think without a political push, political agreement of some kind, you can move forward? Because it seems to me that you keep pushing the deadlines with the Iranians on technical talks without getting anywhere. Why would you expect that this time would be different? And if I may, just one more question from my colleague in AFP because he's not here. So if the Iranians have suspended uranium metal production at Isfahan. Well, on the issue of whether we are going to get a solution, certainly it is my hope. If I don't think I have the right to stop my work or to throw the towel, it's my professional obligation to continue, to continue and to continue. And I don't know if there will be a solution on these matters this time around, but what we are doing is facilitating. We are opening technical channels, which is what we can do. We are not on the political level. This is something to be seen by countries among themselves. What we are doing is offering technical avenues, technical channels through which these issues can be solved, hopefully. On metal, as you know, we have informed the Board of Governors about production of small quantity of uranium metal. We haven't seen any new information. We don't have any additional information about that. If we have it, we will promptly inform everybody about it. This isn't the first time there has been an attempt to bring new momentum into this process with Iran. There have been quite a few over the years. This time it seems that the unspoken arrangement is that this initiative has enabled Iran to avoid resolution criticizing it at this Board meeting. Why is this time different? What is different about this attempt? Regarding the external consequences of the steps we have taken, I leave it up to you. What this achieve or not, whether a resolution was prevented or not. What I believe is that this whole thing is moving forward. It is obvious for everybody that all these matters need to have some resolution. When it comes to Iran, and I'm not saying anything that Iran itself has not said, everything is interconnected, of course. These are different parts of a single whole, where you have on the one hand what is going on at the level of the JCPOA, which is of course very important. You have at the same time what happened with the new law, the way in which we have dealt with it through the technical understanding. But we had this sort of an often issue, which had been there reverberating without a dedicated attempt to tackle it. I think the net gain, the added thing this time is this. Of course, in terms of results, we can be sceptical. I don't know. But we are getting into this with a sense of purpose and trying to solve it. So is it fair to say that this is an attempt to finish the job of the final assessment in 2015? No. The final assessment is the final. I leave those past documents, and this is not attached to that. It's part of the same. It's the same country. It's issues that have been there floating around. And as I have said in the past, there's new information coming. We have new capabilities, and we are looking into them. But please don't see this as a way to change, or perfect, or otherwise what was said in the past. As I always say, nonproliferation is a constant issue. There is no definitive declaration that everything is in order. One has to, and not only Iran, every country, one has to show that everything is in order. So I think, of course, it's an effort, and it's going to be very difficult. Of course, now comes the hard part. I would agree with that. Thank you for your attention. Thank you very much.


My name is Naresh. You probably have got enough spams for me by now and you would have marked me permanently as a spammer. Thank you for that. Alright, this conference is being put together by the Agile Software Community of India. We formed this community about five years ago, six years maybe, 2004 onwards we've been doing conferences. This is our biggest conference ever and I'm very happy that we've actually been able to put this together in the short time that we had. And obviously thanks to all you guys and the speakers who helped us put this together and the sponsors as well. I'll talk about that in a little while. So let's look at what the conference looks like. Just a million feet overview of the conference. What does this say? We have here people from 21 countries participating in this conference which I think is pretty amazing. We have people with diverse experience with a very rich background and you get to network with these people. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone over here to interact with different people and get to know each other. So please utilize the next three days to meet over 724 delegates. Still new registrations are happening. We also have 146 speakers. I particularly like this aspect about the conference that the ratio of our speakers to the delegates is really high. So it's almost, I don't know, maybe one in every five person we will meet would be a speaker which means the quality of the experience at the conference hopefully would be really rich. I was also doing my own lean startup. I was kind of interested to pull some stats and see what the attendees experience looks like. So if you look at the experience of people who are present here, it ranges from people who have just got started to all the way to people who have been practicing agile or are agile for the last 15 years, which is I think pretty amazing to find people who have been practicing agile for so long. Also quickly to talk about the session levels, we've tried to balance our conference program so that we kind of cater to all different sets of audience based on the profile and you will see maximum number of presentations or sessions in this conference are going to be at the practicing level, which is really good because, you know, there are a lot of difficulties people are facing when they're trying to implement agile, especially in large organizations and we want to share real firsthand experience from people who have been doing that. So we're trying to target as many practicing sessions rather than a lot of introductory sessions. But we do have introductory sessions to make sure people who have the experience in the range of one to two years can get a sound fundamental on agile. You might have noticed that we do have different kinds of sessions at this conference to basically make sure that, you know, you get different varieties of different people have different learning methods and, you know, some people prefer a talk, some people prefer a hands on workshop. So we're trying to mix that fairly well to make sure you get different flavors of understanding these topics.  I'll come there in a minute. I want to wake you up. So I have a small activity for you guys. What I want you to do is self organize and I want you to form groups of 10 people. The group which forms the first group of 10 people will get a special lunch coupon. How about that? So I want you to stand up, move around, form a group of 10 people who fit this, matching all these criteria. You need to have one startup founder in your group. All right. One architect, two developers. Ask them. So introduce yourself so you get to know your mini group. The group which qualifies all the 10 roles. You have all the 10 roles. Fantastic. So we have one group over here, any other group which qualifies all these roles. We'll get a special lunch coupon. Fantastic. Thank you guys. One more group over there. So quite a few groups. So again, I wanted to try and showcase that the kind of profiles we have at the conference you can see right in front of you. There's a very good mix of all different roles. All right. Thank you guys. Sit down. I think everyone's awake now. Now let me introduce myself. Settle down. Fantastic. Thank you guys. And I hope you keep the same energy level throughout the conference. Don't come to my talk. It'll be really boring. Let's quickly talk about the conference structure. We've just spent maybe a few sleepless nights trying to put the schedule together. So I want to share the pain with you. All right. First of all, we have seven parallel tracks to make your life miserable. So you have to figure out which section you're going to go and be completely confused and not go anywhere. We have seven parallel tracks. We've tried to structure them based on the stages so that it would attract audience of the specific profiles. All right. But there is no restriction in terms of who can attend what stage as far as space is available, margin. When the space is over, find seats on the floor, grab them. When they're over, find another room. Right. That's the best we can do. If you find yourself in a room where you think you're not getting any value, what would you do? Silently get up. Don't please disturb other people and, you know, find another place that you think you will derive more value. Right. No speaker will be offended if you get up between the section and walk. That's perfectly fine because you want to make sure you get maximum value. Right. So that's the law of two feet. If you don't find yourself in a session which is helpful to you or you're not contributing much to it, use your two feet and take yourself to a place where you can get value or contribute value. Right. I'm not going to go into details of the seven tracks. Hopefully most of you have picked up the schedule sheet or downloaded the PDF online and you have a good understanding of what the different sessions are. We will try our best to keep the timings but I think what's most important is you guys helping us to keep the timings. We have not left any gaps between the sessions, which means you need to, you know, be ready at the edge of the chair when it's the last three minutes and start running. Right. How many people are ready for that? Awesome. The rest of you can find seats where nobody is going. How about that? We also figured that there are lots of people who have specific questions that might have not got addressed on the conference program. Right. What do we do? How do we help people whose specific questions are not already addressed in the conference program? We said, let's do an open space where we have the embassy room which is left open with just some chairs and so far to make you feel comfortable. So you can go hang around there. There will be other people. We have Alexi who's going to help us run the... There is Alexi. Thank you, Alexi. Alexi is going to help us run the open space so if you want to have specific questions, specific discussions with people, you can go to the open space and propose a topic. Whoever is interested will come gather around and you will have hopefully an interesting discussion around the topic. All right. Look up for open spaces if you've not been to one and just kind of get the fundamentals. It's a fairly simple format of meeting. All right. I don't have a picture. This is what happens when you sit at three in the morning and try to put your slides together. Right. We also have lightning talks which are going to... If you see on the schedule, they are lightning talks. Some people have already proposed topics for the lightning talks and you can always propose more topics. Lightning talks are three minute quick talks where you can go and express some point of view or some perspective that you have that you would want to share with other people or you might have a specific question that you want to ask the audience out there. All right. So look up the conference schedule and you will see there are different slots where lightning talks are happening. All right. Again, Mr. Alexi is going to be helping us do the lightning talks. We have a concept called the speaker lounge. The speaker lounge concept is where we will help the speakers to hang around in this place and ask the audience to kind of go meet the speakers out there. The speaker lounge is in the same place where you collected your delegate kids this morning. All right. So we're going to have our speakers hanging around there and you feel free to go grab them and have a discussion with them. Not all your questions will get answered during this session. This is an extended platform where you can interact with the speakers. So far, did anyone understand even one slide? That's good. I'm doing really good. We also have the concept of coaches corner. A coaches corner is where you can go put up a slot in the open space room and say, I'm available for anyone who wants to ask specific question on a particular topic. And then if you have a question on a particular topic, you can go put your name against it.  Yeah. We have lots of people who are in the expert category and the practicing category, so they will really be happy to help you guys. Our wonderful sponsors have helped us put this conference together. They have a beautiful stall set up. They're giving away iPads and they're giving away all kinds of interesting things. I'll obviously be there most of the time, making sure I get the first iPad, right? So there are stalls where sponsors would like to talk to you. Please visit the stalls, get to know the sponsors. They have interesting things to talk about and share with you and also interesting things to give away. So please do visit the stall area. It's again in the same place where you collected your delegate kit this morning. It used to be a disco deck we converted into a stall area. How cool is that? In the same place, we also have a refreshment bar, right? A lot of times what happens is I am in a session, we have a 15-minute break to go grab a coffee, but I have a very interesting question to ask the speaker and you never know how the 15 minutes went away and you miss the coffee break, right? So what we've tried to do is we've set up a refreshment bar near the speaker lounge where coffee tea and all other beverages, alcoholic, non-alcoholic beverages will be available. You can also get snacks. It is obviously paper used. We've subsidized the prices so you can paper use, you can order whatever and that will be given to you. It is operational throughout the conference so at any point you can go and grab yourself some food. We also have books from Pearson so they will be giving a 30% discount on all the books that you can purchase. They have quite a large variety of books that has been exhibited in the embassy hall so you can go have a look and maybe buy some books for your colleagues or yourself. We have Wi-Fi at the conference. Just two days ago we struck the deal and we finally got free Wi-Fi at the conference. Unfortunately, when you do the last-minute setup, it takes a little longer. So right now, even though the Wi-Fi is enabled, maybe the connectivity is not very good. This is the Wi-Fi that you can connect to and that's the password. It's fairly easy to remember, 1 to 0 all the way on your computers. Just a disclaimer, right now the Wi-Fi is really slow but we are trying to fix that so give us time till about 9.30 or 9.45 when it should be intact. And then onwards, it's available in all the different halls so you should be able to access Wi-Fi from anywhere. It will be operational throughout the three days. This conference will obviously not be possible without these wonderful people out here. If you're in the room, can you please stand up? Let me tell you how many weekends and how many late nights it takes to put together a conference like this. Over the last six months, this team has been working pretty much like a full-time second job because all of us are volunteers. This is not a full-time job and we've been trying to put together a conference that hopefully you guys will enjoy. So that's the list of the program chairs and the stage producers.  Lee Meridian has been really helpful in getting all of this infrastructure set up and the event management has been done by a company called 3D. They've been really fantastic getting all of this. They got this hall like two in the morning last night this morning and they've set up this for you. So please do thank them when you see them. I have two more minutes and I will try and really make sure we do give the credit to the people who deserve it the most. We have the two title sponsors as our alliance in Valtech who have really really helped us so please give a big round of applause for the sponsors. Again this conference would have really not been possible without the title sponsors and without the other sponsors who have also been really really helpful helping us not just by giving money to run the conference but also helping us with a lot of logistics helping us with a lot of support giving us ideas so it has been a really helpful team work and really appreciate all these guys for the help. Announcements. Lots of speakers are around here. Some speakers might have not met your stage producers before so I would request you to kind of find your stage producer beforehand and meet them just so that they know what setup you might need for your session or they might know how to introduce you or any of those things so please do get in touch with your stage producers beforehand. The stage producers will mostly be in the room where the stage is set up so in each room where the stage is up the stage producers will be there and you can go meet them beforehand so they know if there are any special needs and that the room is set up for your session. The next one is we have food coupons in these kits that have been given to you so just to keep a track of how many food consumption has happened what we have done is we have given coupons you will have to give the coupon when you either get a coffee or tea or food so that way everything is accountable from such a large conference so hope that is not too much of a problem for you guys to help us with that. So there are food coupons there are days mentioned on that tear the appropriate food coupon for that day and then hand it over to the person at the food counter. Most of you have already got the delegate kits but in case you have not got the delegate kit that coupon is also inside this and you can get it from this small area you have delegate kits there are t-shirts in this and wonderful other goodies inside that so grab yourself a delegate kit which looks something like that that coupon inside. Last but not the least we have set up near the registration desk a help desk where if you have any other questions if you want to get in touch with anything go to the registration desk also if you have lost and found would be reported over there so if you lose something or if you find something please do hand it over to the help desk. I can sleep now. So again this is our honest appeal to you guys to make use of this conference to learn, to network and to explore this is I think a wonderful opportunity so please do help us and you know be part of this wonderful experience. Thank you again. It's early because this being the first session I think it will take some time for people to figure out where the next hall is, where they need to go so there are five halls on this floor and there are two halls on the level above this. There's Bumont this side and Dominion outside near the pool area. The rest of the five halls are here so it's easy for you to find them. I think it should not be a problem but we have ten minutes for the next session to start so find yourself the next room that you want to be in and please do help us run this conference to be successful. Thank you again.
