Hey guys, welcome to Rotorite. My name is Ledriv, and today we're going to be building another quad. We're going to be basing this build around a lot of the products that we've come out with over the past year, including the CL-1 frame, ride control, flight controller, new set of hype train motors. I'm a grip. So we've got all sorts of cool things. The CL-1 frame, community led, we took a lot of input from the community, provided to us through our various social media platforms and tried to integrate it into this frame. So you've got cool features like support for both 30x30 and 20x20 flight boards, additional 20x20 mounting provisions in the rear, 5mm thick carbon, press nuts, all these features packed into a frame that we priced to be really budget friendly. So this is going to be a really basic canvas that's going to be an awesome platform for simple clean builds. Throughout this build, we're going to be covering some tips, tricks, and hacks for our specific products, but also just good build practices. So check the description for some timestamps. If you're looking for a specific tip, you might find it down there. The motors we're going to be using are the new hype train 2207. This is called the Acro motor. It has a good mid KV of 2450. We've got a new extra durable bell design that still's got the cool tri-spoke look to it. Got the race day quads video transmitter with an MMCX connector, and that's going to be really great with this luminear antenna because it has an MMCX connector right on it. So we'll be able to plug this antenna right into the video transmitter, keep things nice, neat, and clean.  Oh, and we're also going to be putting on these little skitties. So these go on the bottom of the arms. It's really durable, and it's going to hold up well to scraping on the ground as you do the skids, give you something to land on. Let's start by putting the frame together. So your CL-1 kit comes with four arms, as you might expect with a quadcopter, a bottom plate, sandwich plate to hold the arms on, a top plate, and just some basic 3D printed mounts for your camera. Like I said, super simple frame. You'll notice that the base plate has press nuts. So that's going to make assembly easy and clean, but I definitely recommend using Loctite with this stuff.  It just, look, it's already on me. It's already, it just smells, it just gets everywhere. I'm just going to squirt some right in the press nuts. It's a really good idea to use it, but I just, just hate it. Got your hardware kit. So this comes with a bunch of screws and blue standoffs here. The screws for the arms are the long ones, right? There's two sizes. I think it's eight millimeters and 10 millimeters. Just start separating out the long ones. What we're going to do is we're going to feed the screw up through the lower stiffener plate. The kind of long direction of this X lines up with front to back of the frame.  So this is going to line up like that. There we go. The hardest one to do is always just kind of getting the sandwich started. But once you have one of these screws in place, it gets a lot easier because you don't have to hold everything together. So I'm just going to loosely get it in there. Just enough to kind of hold things in place. Grab another long one. There you go. Now it's super easy. The arms also interlock in the middle. So you'll feel it mate up against the adjacent arms and that's going to keep things stiff and make things a little more durable. With all four arms in place and these screws just kind of in there, we're going to work our way around all these arm screws and get them tightened up. So let's go ahead and put the flight controller on our frame and then we will work from the motors back toward the flight controller. So we've got our riot control board. While we go through this build, I want to take the opportunity to answer some questions that we commonly get about our products. For this board, something that people have been asking is how hard is it to replace the gyro because we did design this around a removable soft mounted gyro case. So you're going to be able to remove this gyro and replace it with a new one if you damage it in a crash or if you want to upgrade or change to a different gyro because we will have more gyro options coming out. I have here a replacement gyro. This isn't any fancy gyro. Anything like that is just another stock gyro but I just want to show you how you do the replacement. All you're going to need are some tweezers. I love having tweezers for builds and I've got some ceramic tip ones that are really nice so throughout the build you'll see me using this and what's nice about the ceramic tip is ceramic is non-conductive so it doesn't matter if I'm touching the the circuitry.   So here we've got the gyro that I came with and we've got our new gyro. The four screws are still in the board I mean they will come out so if they fall just make sure not to lose them. To put on the new gyro you want to slide the ribbon cable through the slot and the gyro sits right on top of the processor chip so this is your gyro and it's acrylic case there's your processor chip so you just set it on top of there holding it from the underside and then I'm going to drop the screws back into flight board and we're just going to loosely get them in there just give them like one full turn in there just to hold it in place and we'll just get all four in place all right then once you have all four screws loosely threaded into the acrylic case just double check that it's seated correctly isn't sitting at any sort of weird angle and then go ahead and just gently work the screws in don't want to over tighten it because you could strip out the case just snug them up the last thing to do is to plug in the new ribbon cable so make sure that that black flap is still lifted we're going to take our tweezers and really carefully line up the cable so see the the metal contacts those should fold over and be facing the board just want to gently push it in there you'll feel it slide in the place just push down the black clip and your new gyro is installed I would definitely recommend that before you go any further plug this into your computer open up beta flight and see that the gyro is responding just in case you have the ribbon cable seated incorrectly or something like that it's easier with the the board separate so now let's get into the hardware pack that comes with the flight board in the hardware pack you've got your soft mount gummies we've got a soft mounted gyro and a soft mounted board I've really been enjoying having the two layers of physical dampening all right you're officially getting locked up and we're just going to put these soft mount gummies in the corners of our flight board all right with the gummies in there let's see how low we can mount this thing because those are going to give us a little bit of height we've got to clear the press nuts so we've got nylon nuts and a small nylon standoff I think it's like three millimeters high what I like to do go into my little hardware kit I like to use a little bit longer of a screw and just thread all the way through so I take my female female nylon standoff at it down on this longer screw don't over tighten it all right and then what you'll do is you're going to do that on all four corners you'll set the flight board down and then we've got more thread poking up and then we'll just drop the nylon screw on there throughout the build what you want to think about though is how are things going to fit together you don't want to use a screw so long that it interferes with the top plate the stock standoffs are 30 millimeters so we've got plenty of clearance there but what I might want to do is actually lower the top plate and we'll come back to that but yeah I'm pretty sure we'll still have room yeah I'm using 16 millimeter screws that will give you two millimeters to go through the bottom plate plus three or four millimeters for the nylon plus another three millimeters for the rubber grommet and another millimeter so for the nylon nut and then you'll still have some threads left over all right so we've got our four 16 millimeter screws our four small nylon standoffs and we're just going to drop our board down oh I know I almost put it backwards there is an arrow on the board facing forward I mean you can mount it either way and then remap things in Betaflight but it does make things easier if you just line up the board the way it should go so the end of the frame that has the additional 20 by 20 holes as well as some extra holes for zip tying some things down that's in the back so you want your arrow pointed toward the side that's more blank and now we're going to work from the motors through the ecs back to the flight board with our soldering let's kind of loosely feel out how things are going to lay out we've got our motor let me grab an ec so the ec is going to sit on the arm what I want to see is how much wire length should I leave on the motor you know I'm just going to go ahead and cut all the motors to be about like two fingers wide we'll solder the ec to it then when we lay it down we'll have this length of wire to get to the flight board so the screws that come with the motor for this build we're not going to use them because those screws are six millimeters long which are really good for most standard frames that have four millimeter arms but because we went with the extra durable five millimeter thick arms you're going to need to use slightly longer screws I've got all four motors cut to the length I want we're just going to give them a strip you just want to strip off like a little bit look at that just a bit and now we're going to pre-tend them all just using these this handle here all four sets of motor wires kind of up in the air and I'm just going to run around with a soldering iron got my trusty ts 100 it's going to plug right into hypo lipo 390 degrees celsius when you're soldering it's really important to keep a clean tip a lot of soldering stations come with a sponge that you wet and then clean your tip that way I actually much prefer to use this type of tip cleaner it's just like stringy metal in a container and I used to think that this was more damaging to the tip because you're like scraping it but the truth is hitting your tip with a wet sponge actually thermally shocks your soldering tip and you'll do more damage to it quickly doing that rather than actually just scraping it in the metal so either works but I prefer this so let's coat it with some fresh solder so I'm just holding the soldering iron on one side of the wire and then feeding solder into the other side you don't want to overdo it basically get the strands to keep from splitting apart I actually noticed I was a little bit less than consistent in my stripping so if you look here that's kind of the amount that I want to have stripped and that's a little bit longer what I'd recommend doing is pre-tending the longer amount and then you can actually just trim off the excess it's still tinned all the way through and now it matches better got the motors prepared now we're just going to grab all four ESCs and we're now going to pre-tend the ESCs all together again assembly line style you can touch the iron to the pad and feed solder in so that one's a little bit messy it's a little bit messy you can add some solder to your tip and then just go back in here and kind of clean it up doesn't have to be perfect because you're just going to hit it with more heat in a little bit anyway now this is going to sound like I'm over explaining but something I like to think about is which way do the tools come in for example if I solder this side first and when I go to do the next one my tweezer is going to interfere with the one behind it whereas if I come in from this side to this side I'll keep a clean path as I go all I'm doing is I'm taking the pre-tend wire end holding it on top of the pre-tend solder pad just kind of fusing them together holding the heat on so that the solder goes congruent probably good to clean and retend the solder tip in between every ESC set I've got all four motor and ESC sets let's just bolt them on to the arms now I've got some accessories that come into play so I mentioned I want to use these skids and then among all the cool pink accessories that brain 3d sent they sent arm protectors I usually don't use these but I don't know let's try something different so I think what we need are 10 millimeter screws so what you want is a screw that's long enough that it passes through all of our accessories and the arm but not so much that it goes all the way through and touches the winding if the screw is touching the winding you're going to have a short to the conductive carbon fiber damage the winding so just be careful of that and it's going to be pretty easy to see because our hype train motors don't have that bottom that that older style motors used to have we're going to go through our 3d printed thing and through the arm and I see a lot of pilots only use two screws on their motors I like to use all four it's like not that much weight and it's going to just make your build a little bit more robust all right so I've got pretty much all four motors mounted I just like to kind of pull the wires to where they're going to be and just kind of cut them on spot red positive wire goes to the big v-plus pad meant for your e-c power so we'll just kind of loop it around like that and I want to give it like enough slack so that it's got some like strain relief there we go do the other side then we'll see what we'll do with our signal and signal ground I think I'll just kind of loop it around in front there I kind of like that long like to leave again a little extra slack I always end up doing the lipo lead kind of toward the end because it kind of gets in the way but you know there is a case to be made for putting the lipo lead on earlier and along the way plugging things in and making sure everything is all right but in this case after I'm done cutting all the ESC wires to length I'm going to go ahead and do that and so then as I do each ESC and each peripheral like the camera and the video transmitter I can keep plugging it in to see if uh if a problem gets created along the way all right so let's get this power lead on again try to visualize how the build is going to look so what I could do is I could cut the lead really short and just solder it like that and the battery could plug in or I like to do is leave more length and then bring it up around the side and then hold hold the lead to the side of a battery with the strap and then kind of plug it in from behind there so we're going to cut it a little bit longer I'm going to turn up my soldering iron power because these are thicker wires the same concept as with the smaller wire but you might have difficulty getting the heat to transfer through as easily so I'm holding the iron on one side of the wire and I'm kind of touching the solder to the iron itself to get it going and then bringing the solder around to the other side so that it flows through the wire toward there and then we'll just kind of massage massage it with the tip there to make it look good I've got a little solder on one side so we'll use gravity we'll hold the bubble side up add some heat on the other side bring it through because you don't need to have too much on there that's good and I'll just do the same for the negative side so the battery solder pads on our flight board it's got like this this semicircle shape to it so you can sit the wire right in the semicircle so I want to find something that I can kind of prop the prop the quad up like that and I'm just going to hold the wire to the side of the crescent and flow it together so be oh it'll fall so this little gizmo right here is a smoke stopper as they call it and if you've got a short it should prevent components from being too damaged it's not a guarantee but if you don't have a multimeter or if you're being lazy and I don't want to go upstairs and get my multimeter you can use that so all we have soldered on so far is the lipo lead and we're just going to make sure that the flight controller is good so that yeah we got a green light we have all of the initialization light sequencing from the leds on the board itself so the board is good now we're just going to do each ESC and again along the way plug it in and see that it's working out good so just as we've been doing all along the way we pretend the wire watch out for that that just happened there what I did I was holding the soldering iron on the the wire from the underside and it slipped off and the wire flung down and solder flicked off the wire luckily it wasn't over anything and it just flicked on to my metal table but if I had the wire over another electrical component and solder gets flicked down onto that electrical component you could short out something you have a bad time so be really careful to I mean just in general try to keep yourself from doing soldering over other electrical components because you don't want anything falling down but wires are pretend pads repeat pretend I'm just gonna do like we've been doing so now that I'm doing the signal and signal ground wire I'm gonna look at which way the wires are coming from and I'm gonna bring it in like this so the signal ground wire which is on the outside of the board is going to run over the signal wire so I'm going to do the signal wire first if that makes sense so you'll see what I'm talking about so first I lay down the signal wire and then now the signal ground wire runs over the signal wire look at that it just sits like that looks good so we've got one ESC and motor set solder to the flight board the red power wire goes to the big V plus solder pad the black ground wire goes to the big V minus solder pad the white signal wire goes to s4 in this case because it's motor number four and the small black signal ground wire goes to the small minus pad so we've got one done so smoke stopper on plug it in we've got our initialization beeps from the ESC and our initialization LEDs on the flight board let's just do the other three we've got all four motors and ESCs hooked up to the flight board let's give it one more plug-in test looking good so with the soldering that you're doing at the corner is done that's a good time to put on the nylon nuts that will actually hold down the flight board I didn't do that earlier so that I'd have more room to work on the corners without running the risk of melting my nylon pieces but let's do it now before we move on too far and forget when you're tightening tightening down the flight board you want to tighten it so it just starts to snug up and you get the rubber grommets in the corners under a little bit of compression but you don't want to squish them too badly so again I just want all of them to just be snugged all right so I want to move on to some other components so let's put some thought into how our antennas are going to lay out and again work from the antennas inward so we've got these cool mounts we've got a couple different options here like with this one we could hold your receiver antennas here then you have an SMA hole this one you could hold a T style antenna in this ring and then another SMA hole but I want to use this one so we've got our two antenna holders here and then this it's going to fit perfectly with our luminear axis so check this out we feed the connector in and then the antenna will fit into that holder it just looks cool I like that a lot so I want to mount that antenna and then figure out where the video transmitter is going to sit in relation so let's grab our standoffs and something else I like about the brain 3d design is that it's actually only 20 millimeters tall so you can still use it with the standard standoffs but if you want to slam it down which we will try to do later um you've got some room to do that we've got our short screws and those thread up through the carbon into the standoff all right and we still got to worry about the receiver antennas I guess we'll feed them into the antenna holder and we want our video transmitter and our receiver to be in this back area but I don't know exactly how it's going to lay out yet so let's grab our video transmitter here's our mach 2 race day quads and plug in our antenna well I think with the amount of slack that we have on the antenna connector we don't really have an option so the video transmitter has to pretty much sit there I think yeah I think we'll do it like that we'll just have the receiver just behind the video transmitter so let's get our video transmitter taped down what I want to do before that is I want to take our leads and solder them to the video transmitter because something's kind of cool about the mach 2 is they just give you solder pads so you're not worried about a connector on your video transmitter we just need to figure out exactly which ones we're using we've got four wires we've got orange is going to be our power yellow is going to be our video signal black will be our ground and then we'll use the green wire to the audio of the video transmitter and that will hook up to a telemetry pad up front this is a nice video transmitter though I really like the solder pads the MMCX connector is going to be more durable and robust than the smaller uf.l the onboard microphone to make audio a little easier if that's something you want to fly with and an actual segmented led display so should release some confusion about what channel am I on got our wires connected just going to run that under the flight board red double-sided tape this is like body tape I got from the automotive store it's strong so now we're just lining everything up getting our antenna extension routed with a good clean bend there making sure the video transmitter is not going to overlap the standoff holes push down now I want to double check that we're not going to have interference in this standoff so let's go ahead and install two of those oh it's pretty close but we are good and let's get our second row back pair of standoffs installed the next thing we want to place is our Joshua Bardwell rotor riot run cam micro eagle pro v2 we've got a couple of different options for getting our camera mounted we've got 3d printed mounts that come with the frame kit and these are going to slide over your front standoffs look how this goes together that we're going to want it so that they flare out wide and that's going to give you a mounting provision for full-size camera so for example we've got this full-size camera and that would fit in that spot like so now we've got our micro camera and if we try to put it in here we actually run into a problem the way that this bracket sticks out forward makes it interfere with the arm end of the camera mount so you actually can't really fit it onto the mount that it comes with we've got a little bit of a hack for that check out this little hack all you do let's move these mounts backwards like that and slide it over the rear set of standoffs as i've been saying we're going to try and slam this build down and use standoffs shorter than the stock standoffs so i've got an eagle here without the adapter bracket and i've got a custom mount that is going to let me screw directly onto the micro camera and then slide over the front standoffs so if you're going all out on your build and want to do custom stuff you can get cool mounts like this from brain 3d all the stuff that they've sent along for the antennas and you'll see for the gopro and for this micro camera let you kind of customize this build to be um be different than it would be just out of the box so with our custom 3d printed mount in place you can slide that over that's looking beautiful cool all right also included with our rhodorad edition runcam micro eagle you have this little guy this is the runcam ur to control adapter so we're going to be able to use our our sticks on our transmitter to send commands to our camera to change camera settings so that's helpful if you're flying in really different lighting conditions like cloudy overcast or twilight whatever and you want to tweak your camera settings without having to plug in the extra adapter that it comes with you can do it right with your stick so this is a really cool piece so one end you've got this two wire plug and this is going to go to the menu output and to the ground so that our solder up there and then we've just got four loose wires took up to power ground uh transmitting and receiving uart so it's pretty easy to set up on the back side they've got all the pads labeled so you know exactly what goes to what so we've got the two plug harness the blue wire go into the menu and the black wire go into the ground then we've got our loose wires red is 5 volt black is ground green is tx orange is rx we'll give those a little bit of twist now we need to figure out what uart is this going to talk to uart one we're going to set up to use for our receiver and uart three that's where we're going to hook up this control adapter board to all right let's place this so we've got plenty of room up here so i'm just going to stick that down now the camera comes with some double-sided tape so that's nice and convenient so we don't have to bother cutting up the stuff i've been using stick it on there so yeah we identified that we're going to use a uart on the rear we're also going to have a five volt in the ground that we can use back there so we're just going to feed all four wires under yon flight board stick this down push and hold now here's the other wire that comes with the camera this is our positive ground and video so we will also plug this into the camera i like to just plug in the the lead and then just kind of loosely route it to where it's going to be soldered so the the pads are right here for our camera so we can just kind of hold it and then pull a little bit more to give it slack cut it yeah we've got our video transmitter placed we've got our camera in place we've got our camera control board in place we've got our receiver loose because i want to get that soldered before we tape it down but basically all the other components are in oh you got out he got out and we can start soldering up these smaller wires to the uh the flight board so so right up front we've got ground nine volt camera so we're just going to pretend those yellow is going to it's labeled camera so we label it so there's no confusion but on other flight boards that might be labeled video in because the video is going from the camera into the flight board and then for the video transmitter be video out it's going from the flight board to the video transmitter but we just labeled it cam and vtx and anyway in case you haven't done one of these boards before the reason we're hooking up the video signal to the flight board because this flight board features an onboard on-screen display so we will do pit tuning and see status and all sorts of cool stuff so then coming out from under the flight board up front we've got our video transmitter wires um got a fair amount of length there so we're just going to fold it over again loosely to where it's going to be soldered giving it some slack so our four wires are again power ground video and telemetry which they've labeled audio so i'm preaching the flight board i'm preaching the ground and nine volt the vtx and then right next to the vtx pad there's a pad labeled tx six tx six and rx six are the two pads that allow you to talk to urt six i forget exactly what it stands for but it's basically the component on the flight board that lets your processor talk to other things and each urt has a transmitter and a receiver so think about what we're going to be doing you're going to send a signal from your radio through the receiver to the flight board then the flight board has to tell the video transmitter what to do so the flight board is going to transmit a signal to the video transmitter so that's why you're going to use the tx pin because you are transmitting in this case all right everything that we're going to solder to the front row should be all hooked up camera video transmitter let's go around back so now in the back row we're going to be hooking up our receiver and we're going to be hooking up our camera control board a question that we got is how do you use a free sky receiver and get the receiver command into the flight board as well as get telemetry out from the flight board to the receiver now we only have three uarts and only one of the inputs one of them one of the receiver pads is actually inverted so there isn't a second inverted uart for you to get your telemetry out to your receiver the only additional uart we have anywhere we're going to use for the camera control board so what we're going to do is we're going to do a little bit of custom soft serial setup in beta flight to allow us to get receiver commands into the flight board and telemetry output from the flight board all on one uart for the receiver wire for the s bus wire you're going to hook it up like normal and that if you're familiar with this board it's going to require you to bridge two pads right here because s bus is inverted whereas other receivers send a non-inverted signal so what we've bridged is we've bridged this b pad with s bus you can see it really clearly on the wiring diagram right up here b and s bus so if you're using spectrum or crossfire you would bridge b and dsm but we're using s bus we bridge b and s bus and then we are going to hook up our s bus wire to rx1 inverted right there ground five volt and the s bus wire is hooked up to rx1 inverted now this last wire this is your s port wire and we are going to hook it up to tx1 so our receiver is good to go now the last thing that we need to hook up are these wires coming out the back and this is for your camera control board so we're going to grab five volt ground and we're going to use both the tx and the rx now if you recall the control board had a tx and an rx pad of its own i took a picture of the back of it because i knew once we stuck it down i wasn't going to be able to uh see the wires anymore and i want to forget what color so five volt was red ground was black and then i hooked up the green wire to the tx of the control board so now the tx of the camera control board is going to transmit to the rx of the flight control board so it's a little bit confusing at first that you hook up the tx to the rx and then of course that would mean that the rx of the camera control board would talk to the tx of the flight control board so we're going to grab the green wire and we are going to attach it to rx3 and we're going to grab the orange wire which is hooked up to the rx of the camera control board and we're going to hook that up to the tx of the flight control board and then lastly power and ground is normal see how we do everything seems to be fine the flight board is initializing we got all the confirmation tones from the esc's we got the video transmitter powered on and telling us what channel we're transmitting on we've got a receiver blinking all pissed off at us because we're not bound we've got an led on the camera control where we got everything looks to be fine so of course there's still setup to do but we've still got some some things we need to do to button up the physical build as i mentioned many times i've been trying to keep the build as low as possible because what i want to do is grab my little bag of 20 millimeter standoffs and get that slammed down so we've got tons of space so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to go around and i'm going to pull off the stock standoffs and i'm going to throw on my short standoffs all right we've got all our standoffs in place let's do another test fit of the top plate make sure everything is clearing the camera's a little bit tight we're just going to have to push it in look at that that is looking really good all right first screw it down still have to get our receiver taped down yeah i think i'm just going to kind of plop it on top of the video transmitter not ideal but it'll get the job done i might want to try to avoid covering up the button or the display but honestly i'm only really going to use the beta flight on screen display to change the settings and see the status of my video transmitter so i don't really need it let's get the top plate actually bolted down now you'll notice i haven't attached anything to the top plate we did put these just big slots in the top plate so that you could add zip ties or velcro straps or whatever you want if you want to hold something to the underside of the top plate and then there are these smaller slots in the rear so that if you want to have your antenna coming out the rear like that you can put that somebody there and then zip tie it down but i just don't like doing that stuff i'd rather spend a little bit more to get some of these 3d printed things that hold the antennas in good positions and keep the top plate free from stuff being attached to it the reason i really like the top plate to not have anything attached to it is because it makes serviceability much better when you have to take the top plate off you unbolt it and it just lifts off like the hood of a car it's not like you lift it off and it's like oh god i have to untape this thing or unplug it or or whatever or clip the zip tie and then when you put it back on if you worry about that it's just uh just goes on nice and easy i'm gonna grab one of my gopro mounts i would love to put this session mount on because i love the gopro session but i ain't got no sessions because i broke them all and they're discontinued so we're gonna be using this gargantuan hero shaped mount so we can put my hero five or six in there let's do something about these esc right now they're just on the arms they're flopping all over the place you could take some tape and just tape them down um you could use the included esc covers that's a really nice thing that they include but these aren't that durable and what the covers really should be doing is protecting your esc from prop strikes if a prop gets bent down it's gonna hear your esc that's gonna rip off surface mount components cause all sorts of damage so these do an okay job but they break pretty quickly i've tried using these see what we've got over yeah are some busted up props i pulled out of the back of my truck so we're gonna cut sections of my props we're gonna upcycle these dead props into esc covers and we'll just put the look at that that fits really nicely it's like the perfect width we're gonna put that down on top of the esc we're gonna tape it down and it's these ecs are never gonna get damaged so let's just make four of those things these ecs have an led on them which when you go into bl helly 32 configurator you can set the color of that led doesn't do anything other than look cool but don't cover up your bling so i've made sure to use props that are semi-transparent light will pass through them i'm gonna set it there and i'm gonna make sure that the electrical tape that i put on doesn't cover the led whoo look at that look at that all right all right um seeing the antenna sticking out here we should protect these got our antenna tube we'll just cut it to length so i'm just gonna kind of hold it i'm gonna pull the antenna out as far as i can go hold the antenna tube alongside it mark it with my thumb cut it we'll take that piece oh yeah the umagrip super sticky battery pad right on right on the nose tommy right on the nose okay a little piece here we're gonna stick that unfortunately covering up our pretty skull logo let's give it the old oh yeah come on come on but just because it does stick doesn't mean that i'd fly without a strap so got some drippy straps this build is done all we have left to do is plug it into beta flight set up the flight board pop a gopro in here get some props on and it is ready to rip so thank you guys for joining me in building this quad hopefully you learned something picked up some tips and tricks along the way leave a comment with what's the most frustrating part of building a drone for you and if you have any hacks or whatever include that as well i always love learning new little tricks to make the build cleaner easier quicker whatever link in the description to all the parts we used on this build in the description store dot rotor riot dot com you can get everything we used here so let's get this quad in the air and rip


This study assesses factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Portugal using data from a community-based survey, COVID-19 barometer, social opinion, conducted from September 2020 to January 2021. The study found that 56% of respondents would wait and 9% would refuse to take the vaccine. Several factors were associated with both refusal and delay, including being younger, loss of income during the pandemic, no intention of taking the flu vaccine, low confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine and health service response during the pandemic, worse perception of government measures, inconsistent and contradictory information provided, and answering the questionnaire before the release of safety and efficacy information about the vaccine. The study highlights the importance of building trust and improving communication to increase acceptance and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. This article was authored by Patricia Soares, Joao Victor-Rosha, Marta Moniz, and others. We are article.tv, links in the description below.


This is a guide community garden that we try to teach the people how to eat healthy and live longer. And the program we got through the extension program, you know, just make a little change in the guide. And in my role there is to make sure everything function properly. That whatever they give us, we do it properly. We plant on time. We harvest on time and make sure that everybody in the community kind of share what we produce to the community. When harvest time comes and everything is, we come out here and we gather our crop and separate it into different bags and everything else. And basically what we try to do first is to take it around to all the elderly people that we know can't come out here and help us out. You know, we have 19 young kids in the program we start. Young children in the program we started. Most exciting part was teaching young children about taking the free potato and cutting off the vine and plant it that would make better, produce better potatoes than that. And just teaching young children that food just don't appear in a pickle or wiggly. It had to come from somewhere. And they got the idea now where it comes from. The more they work with us and find out just exactly how stuff is growing and everything else, it might not be quite so hard to get them to start eating vegetables and things that they don't like. Or say they don't like because they don't know. You see how I got it? Nothing around the roof. Like do all of them like this. People that really get all the work together and we come one. And here that's where we got to bring our community together so that all the problems that we have in our community, working in the garden, working in a setting like this, you begin to talk about some things and you begin to feel each other and get around each other. Then, you know, we come a little small community and love and peace and harmony. So that's why we need a community garden. And I think they have done that. Well, the garden has done a whole lot for the community because you've got a lot of people that are coming out here maybe digging a little bit with the shovel or raking a little bit and everything else, builds up physical stamina. And the more you do physically and everything else, the better off your health will be. And in order for you to get something done and everything else, you've got to first show somebody else that you wouldn't do something for yourself. We don't expect nobody to come out here and just start a garden for us when we sit at the house on a porch. My wife of the town will do all you can do to make sure that the project meets the set foot. Don't look at what you have, look at what you don't have and work on that.

Why do frame-based resources make a difference in learning vocabulary? Well, let's look at an example and let's try this. How about we take a trip together, far away to our sister planet in the fifth dimension? The people of Ashtar enjoy the same life-sustaining atmosphere as here on Earth, so you are on a crucial mission to forge friendly relations with them. You must build an alliance that could save your world and everyone you love in the event of a global meltdown. It's all up to you. Unfortunately, your ship's drinking water supply ran out 36 hours ago and though you have pressing diplomatic business to attend to, this is all you can think about. You quickly type into your translation device. I am thirsty. You have drink? It reads out the Ashtarian translation and you smack your lips waiting for sweet relief. But something has gone wrong. Very, very well. Your life now depends on figuring out how to communicate the misunderstanding to the Ashtarians. Let's figure out what went wrong, shall we? First, the English word thirsty can be translated into two different Ashtarian words. One is used in the context or frame of eating and drinking. So this is what you were going for. However, the other is used in the context of hunting and warfare, as in being bloodthirsty. Unfortunately, you used the translation in the wrong context, in the wrong frame. If you had been given a few details about Ashtarian grammar, you would have known that the literal translation of what you said was, I am thirsty for blood. I have you to drink? So let's go back to that critical moment that can save your future and the future of your people. Using an online frame-based dictionary, you look up the word thirsty and find the translation that belongs in the eating and drinking frame. And you're finally on the right track. Now you see how learning vocabulary words within a given frame shows the whole picture aids in real-life language use and can be a matter of life and death. Here's what the German frame-based dictionary offers, systematic organization of lexical items based on shared meaning, detailed description of meaning, especially regarding differences from English, and annotated example sentences with usage and grammar. Go to www.koral.utexas.edu forward slash frames to access the German frame-based dictionary brought to you by the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning, Koral. Stay tuned for the development of frame-based online dictionaries in more languages, maybe even Ashtarian.


A very good afternoon and welcome to this session titled Preparing for Africa's growing global role. My name is Nzinga Kunda. I'm a business news anchor on the public broadcast in South Africa, the SABC. And it's my great pleasure to be a program director and moderator as we take a look at how continuing growth and changes in Africa's social and economies will lead to a changing role in global affairs and the global economy. Africa is the youngest and fastest growing continent. By 2035, more young Africans will enter the workforce each year than the whole of the world combined, which brings about major opportunities but also major challenges. So how can leaders across Africa prepare for these changes and what do they expect from the rest of the world? To answer this and other questions, our panel today is made up of Prime Minister of Cote d'Ivoire, Patrick Ashi, the chief executive officer of Narspares, Putimahanele Dabengua, chairman of Sepla Petroleum, Chukwe Loka, Ojiaco. If you're watching online or in the room, you can use the hashtag WEF22. We'll be doing a question and answer session a little bit later on as well. So you can share your thoughts with us there. Prime Minister, perhaps I'll begin with you. What's the importance of investment in human capital, healthcare and infrastructure in order to ensure that sub-Saharan Africa thrives in a post-COVID world? Thank you very much. I think that the issue of human capital start to arise when you think about development. And you look around the world, how people and countries that have been able to leapfrog on these 30 or 40 past years, what was the, what did they use as main goals? And you realize that when you take a ground trip like Singapore, it's just a rock in the middle of the ocean. And look at how they have turned into one of the biggest economies of the world. What do they have? And you realize that it's just human capital. If you're able to have a good human capital, going to have the right people, good education, you can do any dream is possible. But you bring back in Africa and look what has been going on in the past 40 to 50 years or 60 years that we've been independent. I mean, the major issue is human capital. Wherever you've been able to educate your people to have the right leadership, meaning with the right people, then you've been able to achieve great things. So today, when we work on what we call our 2030 vision, we went all over the world to see, no, why do we stand here right now after 50 years and we're not further down the line on the development issue? And realize that human capital was the biggest challenge that we're facing. And you said it, you put it right. It's a huge opportunity, but it could be also a huge threat. If this use is not educated and if you cannot insert them in a professional life, then it becomes a threat. Actually, in our situation where the northern part of the country is, you know, we have terrorists going on over there, these kids, if they don't find a job and they get desperate, can just throw themselves in the hands of the terrorists or some of them can just throw themselves in the ocean and try to immigrate somewhere. So your biggest asset, which is the one that you're going to use to develop, if you're not able to train them properly and to give them the right job that will help them give the best of themselves, then there's no way you can achieve anything. So yes, we're putting a lot of money in education, we're putting a lot of money in building schools, you're putting a lot of, we're putting a lot of money in paying the salary of the trainers and all that is a huge investment. Now to be able to do this huge investment, you need to get money from somewhere and that's where the private sector comes. If you do not have a huge private sector that can really hire these kids, then you're also in trouble. The administration in my country, for instance, each year 400,000 kids get out of school with or without a degree. The administration can hire only 15,000 of them. The 385,000, where do you put them? In the private sector. Now, if the private sector doesn't grow fast enough then they are on your hands and they become a very key issue and the easy way for them to find a job in the private sector is to be very well trained. So training is the biggest chance for the private sector to come because they will find kids that are well trained to grow their business. This private sector will generate revenues for the state and the state will use this revenue to build schools and get education to their kids. That's just the way it works. So wherever you take it, education mainly for the use is the way forward as far as development is concerned. Puti, to two of the points that the Prime Minister raised. One about the ability of technology to leapfrog and two about the role of the private sector in Africa, it's a sector that you operate in. Are we innovating quickly enough to realize some of the opportunities that are there? Thank you very much, Nzinga. And I think absolutely, as you say, it's such a critical issue. The Prime Minister spoke about the importance of ensuring that our youth are educated and that is something that as a technological business we have been very focused on. And so we have a number of initiatives that are focused on empowering young people. And so from that perspective, we have an entity called Naspers Labs which is focused on providing education as well as access to jobs for young people. And so just if I look at just this past financial year, we were able to provide access to employment to over 2,000 young people as well as access to education as well, digital education. And the importance of this is that these are young people who go from being at home, having no opportunities to suddenly having access to opportunities in various roles. It could be roles as software developers or cyber security technicians, various roles that they can play in. And from that perspective can start to play a meaningful role in the continent. And the importance of being able to develop these skills is that beyond the continent, they can play a role globally because one of the things that we've seen in various discussions is the fact that, you know, one of the demographic dividends that we have on the African continent is our youth. And so to the extent that we can leverage that globally it is something that will be to the benefit of both the youth as well as other countries as well. And so if I look at the work that we are doing in ensuring that we support young people, 62% of that is females. It's not because I'm a woman. Okay, it is. But for us, it's something that is critically important. And I think one of the reasons why we've also looked at this is the fact that when you look at WAF's regional risks for doing business 2020, over the last two years you'll see that unemployment as well as under-employment is those are the biggest risks that we've had over the last two years. And so it's important that we're able to tackle this issue very, very well. And the best way we can do that is by ensuring that we're providing digital skilling to young people because we can do this. They can do this in their homes, wherever they are, as long as they have access to cyber. You know, yeah. Chukwaloka, we're speaking quite a lot about technology and the ability for it to leapfrog and offer opportunities on the continent. But it's very difficult to do that if there's not adequate access to energy. Just speak to me about that. Thank you very much. First of all, thank you for having me and his excellency and Puta have actually made very valid points, especially around leveraging the importance of the demographic dividends for Africa continent. From our perspective, being a company that is in the energy sector, we have taken the ESG, environment, social and governance to be the real soul of our business. And in doing this, we've also prioritized socials. And in doing that, we're completely aligned with what is excellent central that I have spoken about. So in targeting technology, in targeting anything you can do to leapfrog Africa development to play the right role, there is no way you can do this with the level of energy poverty in Africa. Think about it, over 700 million people in the world are in darkness, no power, no access to electricity. Over 600 million of these people are in Africa. If you also take that further, the energy access is not just about switching on the light and switching off. It is the important tool that will completely transform the industries. Even the digital technology we're talking about, the education which I believe should be completely retooled for the purpose of development. Now, when we talk about energy and access to energy, and we, by the way, is the Sustainable Development Goal 7, as a company, what we then decided to do is that to be able to create the environment, to employ the youth, you have to have access to electricity.  And this impacts very strongly in socials and credit entrepreneurs that will employ the youth. And then just to give you some statistics, in Nigeria, for example, unemployment rate is over 33% and growing. For a country of over 200 million people, per capita source of electricity, 150 megawatt hour. Total generated electricity in Nigeria, for example, is about 12,000 megawatts for the grid. Off-grid supply is by diesel, and this is as high as 25,000 megawatts. If you compare this with the global average of 2,500 kilowatt hour, you see the real huge opportunity to invest further in electricity and provide that to the general society and to be able to use that to create the prosperity and employment that is required. Now, if you also take that further, energy in the households, not only do you need this for electricity, like I spoke about, the real issue is that the biggest demand for energy in the household is cooking. And if you look at what is happening in cooking in most homes, 2.5 billion people over the world are having very unhealthy source of energy for cooking. Over a billion of these are in Africa. So what we've also decided to do as a company is to deepen our involvement and investment in the midstream part of our business. We then identify as gas as a transition fuel. And this is both gas to power, gas to industry, and gas to the homes. So we're working hard to displace all the diesel in the homes, displace the household kerosene, displace the coal and the charcoal in homes, and bringing LPG, which is a cleaner, form of energy from gas. And that not only creates and provides cleaner environment, it also protects the households from the fumes and the health that is associated with it. So anything you do, even technology, digital technology, and everything cannot happen with the level of access to electricity, which is extremely poor in the African continent. OK, Prime Minister, if we skip forward and we implement a lot of resolutions and we have a well-functioning capacity in Africa, that would expand access to global markets, it would improve public service delivery, increase transparency and accountability and also create some of the jobs that we've been speaking about. What would you say is the most important tool for moving us to where we are now, to that Africa? So we are concerned about a couple of years ago, our head of state, President Alasdair Mwater, asked us to think about what will be 10 years down, 2030, and to backtrack and try to see what happened to the country, how it's been developing on the past 50 years. And look around, most of the countries that have been able to leapfrog. What really was the secret? What was the tools that they used to move so fast? And we went all over the world and we went to Asia, mainly Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Malaysia, so on and so forth. And when we pay a close attention to some of this country, who potentially talking about Arab land, about human capital, about, you know, we're almost at the same level that we were 50 years ago. And that way beyond us today, we realized that there were really two key major issues that we put in our vision as to paradigm shift. The first one is private sector. You know, the administration sometime in our countries are so powerful, so heavy, that at the end of the day, people think that the administration has his own money, the finance road, the finance school, the finance health, the finance everything. And the private sector is a side. In fact, to tell the truth, the public sector has nothing to do with the private sector because for the private sector, there's a market. If there is demand, then they have the business, they go to the bank, they get money, they do the business, they got a product, they sell the product, export, or just sell in a national market. It doesn't work like that. You realize that there's no way you can get developed if the state doesn't play a leading role. They are the ones who know what are the key sectors that's going to drive growth sustainably in the long term. Now, it's not just making an enabling environment that makes someone sitting down somewhere in downtown Los Angeles come all the way to Abidjan. There's more than that. And you realize that these countries have made the development of the private sector as important as the development of infrastructure, of school, education, and health. Once you have identified this key strategic sector that is going to help your country grow, then you see how you attract investors locally and internationally. And you work hand-to-hand with them from the beginning. Do they have the right technology? Do they have the right human capacity? Can they really produce at a very competitive price? How can we do? Sometime you have specific policy for specific sector. For instance, talking about the textile, talking about the industry, the state is playing a role. Even going as far as finding a market outside for them, the state is playing a sector. But so if you don't make the private sector the most important things in your country, there's no way you can get there. Just saying the private sector is the engine of growth and then you stop there, forget about it. Just saying that I've put an enabling infrastructure or an enabling environment is not enough. Those who have succeeded really sometime, you don't know where the state stopped and the private sector stopped. It's just both interests. Because if you don't have a private sector growing very fast, how do you generate the revenue that will help you build school, develop health center, develop road? You're going to go through debt. But then how do you reimburse the debt? At the end of the day, whatever you do, the private sector is really the one that is going to generate revenue for you to be developed. Second, we're talking about employment. We're talking about demographic divide. We in 2030 are going to have 8 million kids ready out of school to get a job. Well, I'm going to put them. This is my question. If you don't put somewhere, don't put them somewhere where they feel that they have a decent life, they become a threat to you. Most of the crisis that you see in Africa and all over the world, the core cause come from the fact that kids are desperate. They don't know what to do. They don't know where to go. They don't have a decent life. Anyone who comes and tell any crazy story to them, they follow them. So you are talking about the kids, the education. Employment is the biggest challenge that the continent will face in the next decades coming. And one of the biggest solutions is help your private sector grow by all means. Second things, governance. The private sector will never grow in an environment where you have a good governance. An administration that is very efficient that know what it should do. And that consider the private sector as one of the things which is most important for them. And second, who is fighting against corruption. Corruption is a cancer for the private sector. So most of these countries that have succeeded have done these two things. Made everything possible for the private sector to grow as fast as possible. And second, develop good governance, a very efficient administration and administration that fight every single day against corruption. Now just to give you just two examples. Now in Cardiwa, the first world producer of cocoa, Dominion Tom, the first world producer of cashew nut, the fourth world producer of rubber, the second largest producer of cotton. Each of these raw material, we don't transform locally. Cotton, 95% is export. Cashew nut, Vietnam is buying 75% of the cashew nut, raw and India 15%. We just 10% left to be transformed. So on and so forth. Now you realize that you get money when you increase the added value. When you can integrate yourself in the value, the world value chain. I take, for instance, the cocoa. Today, the whole value chain of the cocoa going from the farm, get all the way to the consumer, is $138 billion. I don't get me, who is the first world producer of the raw material, $8 billion. $130 billion is just outside of my country. If I can just increase by 20% the added value, I can increase in an extra meagre my own GDP by 75%. It changed the whole game. If I take cotton, 95% of the cotton is exported, and I import fabrics. And I can go on force and force, you know that. So the issue is create private sector, increase added value that will help you create job in an environment where you have good governance. So when we're speaking about threats, let's come back to energy. We also know that climate change poses a threat to many countries in the region. What coping mechanisms does the continent need to begin to implement? And when it comes to energy, what are the challenges? And I'm going to ask you to make this quite a brief answer so we can have a question and answer session with the audience as well. Thank you very much. First of all, climate. Climate action has dominated the discussion all over the world. And rightly so. And frankly, one of the things that comes to mind is how does this impact Africa? Obviously, Africa is very negatively impacted. You're beginning to have serious flooding.  But one very important point, and I'll relate this to energy, is the fact that indeed Africa contributes only about 3% of the global carbon dioxide and greenhouse emissions. Therefore, when you talk about energy supply and we hear things like gas and fossil fuels should not be developed and invested in that, indeed, becomes even more inimical to Africa. So from our perspective, we're looking at how do you take out these emissions from the climate? Therefore, we're looking at technology. In the energy industry, if you look at the upstream today, there are available technology and innovation that will do carbon capture and sequestration to take away the carbon that is emitted. In our company, for example, we've taken a view to take away all of the flaring of gas and the rest of them in our business. So in Nigeria, for example, the government put a policy to take out a flaring by 2030. We took a deliberate decision to make it 2020. The next thing we've also done is to capture the carbon in the atmosphere. We launched what we call Tree for Life. Tree for Life is basically creating a very important carbon sink that will enable us to take a lot of that out. And that creates employment because you're going to be employing quite a lot of youths to do this. The next thing, of course, when we speak about the climate is to make sure that Africa also aligns with what His Excellency has just spoken about. To create the environment for the private sector to really thrive. I use that too. I see that you want us to ask questions. Thanks. What he's got, Minut or Liz. Minut or so. I would just like to talk to us about closing gender gaps. You spoke about women a little bit earlier on in terms of access to education and opportunities. What is the role of tech and the private sector in Africa? You can just add to what the Prime Minister said. Yes, actually, thank you very much, Nzinga. I actually wanted to add to what the Prime Minister said. I think the Prime Minister raised a very important issue which speaks to the importance of entrepreneurship. And that's an area that's very critical for us. So within our company, we have the Naspers Foundry, which is investing into early stage businesses. And so from that perspective, what we do is that we provide capital equity funding towards these businesses. But in addition to that, we also provide a lot of support to ensure that these businesses can grow. It is through entrepreneurship that we can see our economies grow. Because if you look at all our economies, we know that it's entrepreneurs that are growing our businesses. And so from that perspective, it's something that's very important. And in addition to that, through our platform Take-A-Lot in South Africa, we have entrepreneurs who had no business before COVID.  And so from that perspective, it just shows the importance of the role of being able to reach out to entrepreneurs and support them if we are talking about growth on the African continent. And then obviously from a woman perspective, I think women are drivers of businesses. They are drivers of our economies. And so the extent to which we can ensure that we're providing access to capital to them as well as access to information that they require in growing their business is so important if we are looking at growing our economies on the continent. Thank you and thank you for the synced answer. Now I'd like to go to the floor and take questions. Please lift up your hand. I think a mic is going to come towards you. If you're going to direct your question to someone specific, please let us know who that is so we can answer, get the questions answered as quickly as possible. All right, you can give the gentleman in the front there. If we can get a second mic if it's possible so that we can move along quite quickly. Yes, please. Thank you. My name is Adam and I'm from Kotonon Benin, the global shipper. I would like to raise awareness on the fact that food is now becoming the number one priority when it comes to geopolitics. And I'm amazed that Africa comes together and we are talking but I'm not hearing anything about intra-Africa trade and we have 60% of the arable land on the earth. If we could trade among ourselves, we could be sustainable and then we could solve, we could actually get solutions for the rest of the world. I'd like to know what you guys think about that. Thank you. Thank you for having one person answering that question. Can you go? Thank you so very much. I think, Adam, that is a very valid question. Afrika, intra-Africa trade and that's why I was happy when his excellency spoke about the government's own leadership. Inter-Africa trade is very appalling, less than 12% within Africa and if you look at the Africa continent as well, agriculture is the mainstay of that economy and what is really going on is that quite a lot of the food gets perished. It's not adequately processed. The lack of industries and the rest of them. So encouraging intra-Africa trade is critical and I think the Africa Union launched what they call the intra-Africa trade free zone but we need to see this leapfrogged into making sure that there is really improvement in that intra-Africa trade. Now, talking about food, from our perspective, it is very clear the Africa population is growing, is expected to be about 2 billion by 2050. That means many more mouths need to be fed and from our perspective, it then means that gas to power, gas to industry, gas to agriculture has become even more critical and urgent. That is why we keep talking about gas being the transition fuel for Africa that will help leapfrog the growth. Now in Africa, I keep hearing fastest growing economy and the rest of them but when you then take the final size of Africa economy, you realize that at the level of growth we are today, Africa will not be able to catch up with the role that it needs to play in the global economy. So you'd like to see Africa grow in leaps and bounds, not even by 10% or to about in real great multiples, exponentially, for us to be able to catch up and food security is critical to this. Just before we take the second question, please may I ask that when you ask the question, you stand up so that we can also get you on camera. That was a request there, was it? Yeah, I just wanted to add that one of, we also have invested in agritake businesses. In fact, just two weeks ago, we invested in a business called Nile, which is providing support to both significant farmers of businesses as well as industrial players in the agri space. And so in addition to Nile, we also invested in a business called Aerobotics, which gets 50% of its revenue from the US. So being able to invest in agriculture is something that is very, very important for the continent as we move forward.  Hi everyone, thanks for the panel. My name is Intabi Seng. I run a solar company in West Africa. And I'm really glad you mentioned the 700 million. The International Energy Association projects that we need 100 million people electrified every year up until 2030 to leave no one behind. But with the stated energy policies that have actually been announced by most governments and companies, it's projected that 682 million people will still be without power in 2030. 85% of those will be in Africa. We've seen massive electrification programs in Asia. So going from 67% to 97% from 2000 to 2019. Why are we not seeing the same level of commitments and sort of mainstreaming of energy access? We know it's 35 billion dollars a year needed. The numbers are out there. It's 2% of global energy investment. Why are we not like, how do we even talk about private sector or quality of life if still 80% of 682 million people will be in the dark? Thank you. I speak to this as well. Frankly, what is even more worrying is not just that there is no access to electricity, but it is the real activism to stop the investments in fossil fuels. I keep telling people that zero or net zero carbon is not the same as net zero fossil fuels. For Africa continent sitting on a lot of gas reserves, well over, in Nigeria for example, have over 200 trillion cubic feet of gas. It would be absolute madness not to develop that gas to give access to electricity. So I believe that this investment flow must happen. Even in Europe, if you have followed recently what has happened, Europe has then changed its policy and has added additional one decade for gas utilization for energy in Europe. They're beginning to use coal, they're beginning to use diesel. Why then should Africa not take the right advantage of using the gas that is in abundance? While of course making sure that we use cleaner energy and attracting investments. So my message there is the very huge investment capital that is available for energy, a lot of it should also go into gas used as transition fuel to close that gap. Just would like to take a question from this side of the room and then we'll go back to that side. The gentleman over here in the Navy suit has his hand up if we can get a mic to him. Thank you so much. My name is Kwame Batchway. I am a global shipper as well. My other question specifically directed at his excellency. You spoke a lot about attracting investment to Africa and we know that a lot of companies that want to do business in certain geographies are looking at two primary things. One is talent and then the other one is ease of doing business. In this room alone I see a lot of young global leaders and global shippers in this room that are really talented and are scattered across the diaspora, the African diaspora. The specific question I have is that in your government for instance, and perhaps that could be an example for other African leaders, how are you engaging young talent in leadership, in fostering that intergenerational leadership that would inspire other young talented Africans that are in the diaspora to come home and put their hands to the wheel in building the continent that we want to see. Thank you. Thank you very much. Just one word about the issue of food and then I'll jump on this question then because there's a link about it. Yes, you have arable land, but arable land is just not all of it. Modernization of the agriculture is really the biggest issue because when you have an agriculture where you don't use water irrigation, you don't use high yield seeds, you don't use mechanization, you don't need use new agricultural techniques, then your yield is so low and you don't have productivity. Whatever you grow is not competitive. You cannot even sell it outside and even inside imported good as even much cheaper. People are producing in a very archaic method very often. So it's a very key issue. Second is the private sector means people growing foods cannot invest in all these infrastructure. Irrigation is an investment, doing the research to have very high yield seeds or plants, mechanization. If people have to invest in all that, then there's also an issue of cost. So government has to be involved. In every single country where agriculture has grown really fast and people have been very performance, country and state have invested heavily in irrigation, in mechanization. Then the private sector take over.  Just an example, Vietnam, they're producing 40 million tons of rice, 330,000 square kilometers. I can show you some countries in Africa, 1 million square kilometers Arab land. They don't produce 2 million tons of rice. Now, Vietnam has invested in 7,000 irrigation system, the government for the private sector. So if you cross finger and think that things are going to happen like that, that's why I say you will never have a fast growing private sector if the government doesn't take his role. Just building road, building school, building a high health center is not enough. You have to tell yourself that all over the world whatever private sector has grown, the hands of the state were there. Now, people wanna convince us that you shouldn't go to the private sector. You're the regalian state, just stay there and do the road, educate people, give them health and cross finger and watch a private sector. They will just grow because there's demand. This is what I said the first paradigm shift. Open your eyes. Every single time a private sector is just going bankrupt, the state is coming. I don't want to name a state. But that's why I said the concern when we are given money, we're learning, we're borrowing money, people say you borrow money for that. Believe the private sector alone. They can access credits and now I come to you. Now, what are your pitfalls? What are the bottlenecks as you wanna do business? First of all, you wanna have an enabling environment that helps you have your paper very quick administration. Now you wanna access technology. You wanna have either technology transfer or some people educated that have the knowledge that you can hire to do it or yourself you have the knowledge. Then you wanna access credit. Access credit at a very cheap condition, at a very accessible condition because if the credit is so too high then you cannot afford to reimburse. Then the state is not there. Then you go to a commercial bank and you start to talk about your business. You talk, you talk, then listen to your talking. After you finish to describe all your business, they start to ask you about your guarantee.  If someone is not there to have a guarantee funds to back you up, you're not gonna make it. And sometimes you make it and you wanna sell the product. I know state that go in somewhere, in the country somewhere and that are looking for market for the private sector. When people are selling plane and all over the place, you think that the guy who is manufacturing the plane is the one who's going with his plane in all each of this country and selling 100 planes? No, the head of state is going there. It's a state visit. And after that, you see the head of state signing your contract for 100 planes. State has not built the plane.  You see that the farmer somewhere south in Morocco who's producing orange took his plane to downtown Los Angeles to sell it. No, the state is there. They're helping organizing people, going, the ambassador is going there, negotiating. So there will never be a growing private sector which is the only one who can hire people and the youth that have educated that will generate revenue that will increase our GDP and help us grow if the state is not backing up. Yes, there is a program to back up the youth, you know, which is one stop shop that will help people create the company, that will help people get the proper training, that will help people get access to credit and that will help people sell the whole line. Then after that, they grow by themselves, they grow by themselves and become big. That's the way it works. If anyone else tells you something else, they are misleading. Thank you. Thank you. Do what they do. Don't do what they say. We have five minutes left on our panel and I'd like to ask that when we're asking the questions, we're not doing commentary, we're asking a quick question and from the panel we're trying to wrap up the answers in a minute or less so we can have everybody on the floor getting their questions answered. Are we in agreement? Yes. Okay. Please pass the microphone, you can have... My name is Nishidi Okonkoneli, I'm an entrepreneur in the food and agriculture sector in Africa, so I have a number of initiatives and I'm sure I'd like to have a commentary with the prime minister after this but I have two questions. If I can just ask for one so that we can give really people as possible. Thank you. The first one is that there's a need for narrative change about Africa and I've started a new initiative called Changing Narratives Africa and I think we as Africans have to lead that narrative change, right? And so one of my questions, you've talked about all the countries doing all the great work, we have entrepreneurs who have products that are ready for the global market, right? Most people don't know that you're cocoa when they eat a chocolate bar that is from Cote d'Ivoire. I've been doing that, trying to... What can we do as governments to actually start playing that role of being ambassadors for Africa as opposed to naysayers about the realities on the ground? Thank you if I can ask for a very brief response so that I can see at least four more hands and we have four more minutes left. I can answer. I think that the state and the government has just to understand that he is the private sector. He is the one who's doing the marketing. If you want to do the marketing alone it will be very difficult.  It will never work. So we have to get engaged. We have to get committed. We have to back you up. We have to go together in a marketing or a tool, whatever, you know, workshop and road shows to market our own name with our private sector. That's what every single private sector of countries does. Thank you very much. Mr. Cripp commented. There is a very important point around policy change. I think Africa leaders should stop exporting unfinished products. Thank you. Thank you. We're going to process for you. Thank you. And make it a policy issue. Very briefly, your question. Hello, my name is Rashid Oblair from Ghana, working on the challenge of housing for the urban youth in Africa. We've had a lot of inputs on here. And what we have not had is how we are going to house the nearly 300 million youth who become on board by 2030. You made a reference to entrepreneurship, and that's very valid. But what entrepreneurship needs is the fact that you will be able to take sort of chances. And if you do not have a place to live, an affordable place to live, this is quite difficult. Just a comment from you. What is the perspective, basically, from your side? Thank you. Try and be quick. Puti? Is that directed at Puti? Wow. Yeah, I think it's a very valid question. And I think the important thing is to really try to ensure that you're providing as much support as you can to the entrepreneurs that you're dealing with. And so from that perspective, that is why we are not just looking at just providing capital, but also ensuring that we are providing overall access to support to entrepreneurs. And so I think it's a broader issue. But what are you saying, Puti? Well, the premise is, OK. I think a very important issue, as we're talking, is that building houses is not what is difficult. It's building houses that are affordable to the majority, which means building houses that most of the people in the country can afford. And that goes to how? Because you have to borrow the money to go and get it. At which condition can you borrow money? Here, you can get money. For instance, in Europe as well, 30 years and two years, grace period, 1%, 2%. Now, you get in Africa, we're talking about 6%, 7%, 50 years. Whatever is the cost of the house, it will not be affordable, but just to a few handful people, 10% of the population. So at the end of the day, you have first to access cheap money. Grace period, long-term perspective, and very low rate. And this is really the issue. We are not able so far to access them. And also, we will not be able to access that. You can have entrepreneurs. People can build all over the places. We have a lot of land to build. The need is everywhere, but we cannot access it. So what we're doing right now is that we're going all over the world to look for financial resources that match with the need of the majority of our people, in order for them to get access. Right. So we've actually reached almost the end of our panel. I'm going to be taking a chance here and saying that I'm going to wrap up the panel. And if our panelists could stay behind a little bit later and engage with people, that would be incredible. Because I think there's a lot of answers and comments that still need to come from the audience. And my apologies for those of you who didn't get their questions in. Thank you so much for your time and your insights on our panel today. We can see that there's so many issues that need to be unpacked. I think the one that comes up the most is that we are the solutions that we are looking for. We have them all in our continent. It's now about working together with the different sectors to ensure that the basics are in place in order to move our continent forward. Thank you so much for your insights as well into the importance of the private sector and collaboration. Our panel today made up of Prime Minister of Cote Voire, Patrick Ashi, Chukwe Loka, Orijako, is the Chairman of Seplat Petroleum, and the Chief Executive Office of NASPAS, Puti Mahanyere Dabengua. Thank you so much for being an incredible audience. Good afternoon.


All right Back to critiques. Hopefully not to interrupt the pie my cough So let's check this out. Hmm. Hmm. I think my main impression was Slow and limping That's a helpful comment And to me it's this limb here There's something I love it's if it's part of the cycle or you have a slight change there. I Think it's how If you look at this paw it just comes forward and goes bloop. That's great. This one Feels which I mean I like the asymmetry don't get me wrong But there's a slight feeling of raising it more than this one holding a bit and giving this a bit more of a almost human ball You know he'll plant there and because of that difference because that Left one feels like it's reaching more and then planting and then the other one kind of doing Much less of that it feels like almost like a shortest ride it gives it that kind of a Kind of a limp there Now if you could speed that up though, hold on if I go into my playback speed Increase button this is going to be way too fast, but why not? It's almost like I'm seeing a double bounce in the head This is like happiness there, so I'm gonna decrease that but I feel like you want to speed it up a bit Hmm Which also helps the tail the tail is a bit wavy bit strong left and right I probably will go half that distance Let's go back to what you have. Where is there like a normal speed? Yeah, no, there you are So slow that feels in comparison. I don't know. There's something that just feels a bit slow So that was my first impression just kind of slow very slow wavy left and right tail probably reduce the amount there I Overall it has it has a good feel it just felt too slow And if you you know once you speed it up, it's gonna change some of the mechanics attack, but looking at this here I feel like your scapula Should think goes up too high too soon See how it's already going up but we don't have pressure on it just yet. It's like we're already at the highest point there Kind of you have a bit of a reach up here, which is good That's where all the pressure is on you can probably just extend that like just a bit more But there's something off where we go up too soon. Oh keep it low because it's reaching forward It's gonna keep it lower the shoulder blade and then once it's here not on that frame impact That's we don't have pressure just yet on this Around here is that's when it goes up and definitely Around here you want to have a bit more of a straighter leg and higher It's a bit higher shoulder, but kind of where you have it now just a bit higher and here just lower That's my whole point. So you're starting low into high. So we feel that change right now It feels too soon. You can see through here how the shoulder blade goes up Which doesn't feel quite right. Don't forget as you do this to really curl your Toes back and do this at the very end. They have very very lazy those cats are very lazy front legs paws and everything everything is really Rotated back and right at the very end to do a very heavy Very heavy plop. That's why this stood out because it's a deliberate long held You know upwards pose into a plant where it just feels more like a Like a very very fast plop on there I do like your toe spreading there that you have that's cool Saving on the back ones you might almost think they're maybe too far back now I would have to look at reference, but she has a slight feeling of being a bit too spread out Looks nice in the front view. I think there's a good rhythm now in the head left and right Body it feels maybe a bit soft through here the undulating Movement there It's not crazy and again once I think once you speed it up. It's gonna feel better And I do feel like it needs to be just a tad faster But it's definitely way better than what you have before and from a technical point of view what stands out Are these guys here? There's something where they're there's some pops You go back with your foot. It was like it's the end There Could just be on the other one That is my dog in the background walking in Hold on. Is he coming in? What is he doing? No, you can't see it. I'm not gonna turn on the webcam Because he is not coming in my dog Anyway, this must be strange if anybody's listening to this critique Sorry about that. So anyway going back to the back legs there are some moments where if There's a sudden acceleration to me Right at the end where I would take Suns for a picky but about two frames out. There's something that feels suddenly faster. You go up Like it kind of speeds up into this and then at the end here, you can see right through there This would be a slide where if you look at the distance that this travels back Especially this one need to be the same distance going back But then this paw here is not moving if that's a contact on the floor This would already go backwards just like these guys So watch out at this point your feet paws here. They're they're sliding. See this feels right Now look at the other one and speed up and show down with us better All right, so we're going back that feels good. So it seems to be just the left one right there You can see here. No movement. So there's a slide here. Watch out for that Look at the other ones in the cycle. This should be fine. Okay. You're good to go on the back one Yeah, this one seems like it's Really speeding up towards it where it's the end. It's more so the left one than the right one But goes up pretty nicely here, but I would Watch out for instance here as we go back, right? This leg has all the weight on it seems like here's the buckling up where I would bring it more through here It's the leg that pushes this up part of the pelvis of a higher point here and not through here You can see as this leg goes up I see the buckling here. I see it goes up here I would feel it a bit more here reduce this but bring it back more into this This is going to react because of this, but I would bring it more into the pelvis area So we see a bit more up and down through here It's the overall has a nice move and it's it's nice and to me fleshy and there's nothing This joint it just hasn't a slight wavy sneaky feel So it's where it might again be this section that kind of moves a bit too much compared to what it should be doing here picky picky picky stuff there, but And I think the double bounce comes into a strange moment in the head right there Taking a step and it feels like right through there. I'm expecting it to Plop down more for impact then it happens a bit late through there down here and watch out through here Feels a bit like it's just a translate versus a rotation down Which comes just a bit too late There's this one's funky on this step the head goes up instead of an impact unless that's your Kind of a character moment thing that you want to push Since we're going for just a vanilla walk I would personally take that out and just give this I got just an impact tremor on the head It does have okay this here does have a little double bounce just there But again so much better picky things picky things Main thing for me would be watch out the sliding feet. I mean this one sure this works Same thing that a CMG might be a bit too pushed, but the main thing slightly foot there and Shoulder blades acting a bit too soon Detail stuff will bounce enus the role in the toes and the back part of the the butt Not so much. That's so wide in the tail Stuff like that. All right, it's a huge improvement again. It's awesome Keep going and I think we'll might potentially help you visually I'm not sure we know what you turn off when you play blast, but maybe you want something in there Maybe a grid or something Also, maybe for the critique so I can see what's going on, but it I mean this is pretty clear Let me go back here that This is sliding at this point through there But as again, I'm not sure how you animate if you do it just like this on Empty ground and looking at the graph editor or if you do have visual pointers or a grid or anything that helps you Let me know go to email me if you have any questions And talk about this and other than that, that's it from me. Thank you 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 and like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Hi, I'm Matthew Coast, head dating coach and founder at commitmentconnection.com and in this video, we're going to talk about your ex who's seeing someone else and if he still loves you. But before we talk about that, if you're struggling to attract the right man into a committed lasting relationship, make sure you go to my website at commitmentconnection.com and take my quiz. So today's question comes from a woman in our community and she's asking Why your ex-boyfriend still thinks you're beautiful and says he loves you and you're almost perfect and is seeing someone else? I don't understand this. He knows I still love him. So why would he say these things to me? Is he just playing with my feelings? The answer is no. He's not just playing with your feelings. He's just expressing his feelings is really what's going on there. Love isn't everything to most men, right? There's a lot of things that are way more important to them than love. One of them is respect. Another one is feeling good over a long period of time and you know, there's a lot of reasons why he might not be with you and he might go and be with someone else even if he still loves you and some of those reasons are, you know, he might have insecurities that he needs to deal with which is why he can't be with you because he doesn't feel worthy of being with you. That's one of them. He might fit, he might feel like you don't fit in with some of his criteria of the type of woman or the type of relationship that he wants to have which is why he won't be with you. So if he feels like you know, as a woman, you you know, it could be physical, it could be like if you're not fully his type or if you're not if you're not the type of woman that he would want to have raising his children, like if you don't have similar values, that could be a huge, huge problem. So he might, you know, there's other reasons to, he might, you know, need somebody who's not so serious right now because he has other things going on in his life that he needs to do or work on like financial stuff. And so he's looking for somebody that's a little bit more casual because he, he's worried about being able to financially provide for you and a family which is a real concern for men. I know a lot of women seem to not be able to understand why men need to feel that they can do that, but there's a lot to that and it's very important. And if he said that you're almost perfect for him, there's probably something missing that he needs from a woman that you either can't or won't fulfill for him. And so you know, I don't know exactly what's going on in your situation because your question is not really that in depth about what's going on in your situation, but it sounds like there's something that's missing for him and he still loves you and love for him is just not enough. He needs something else. He needs, you know, maybe he needs to be able to grow with you, maybe you guys fight too much when you're together.    You might have feelings for you for the rest of his life. You never know. So I don't know. It depends on what you want. It depends on what's going on with him. It depends on what you're willing to do and whether the criteria that he needs of you is something that you can provide or not. And if it's not then, you know, my suggestion is that you move on. So that's it for this video. If you want more information on what's stopping you from attracting the right man into a committed lasting relationship, make sure you go to my website at commitmentconnection.com and take my quiz. I'm Matthew Coast and I'll speak with you again soon.
