What's up guys? It's Harry here in this podcast We're gonna talk about the general markets world events and also share some trading stories. So I hope you guys listen up I hope you guys enjoy it. It's definitely going to be a good one Go on guys, we're back with another episode of the after-hours podcast We have recurring guest Alex back on man So I guess we're kind of in fashion that we've been doing we've just been discussing the markets overall large caps and small caps So we'll kind of just dive into that. So kind of lay the outs What have you been noticing with the large cap market overall indexed all that stuff? Yeah, so It's crazy right now because the market is like the market is so Random I would say right now and I think the statistic out there is that this is the you know The most drawdown that the market has had in like the last 40 years, right? So essentially it's like we're trading the hardest market in 40 years So what I've noticed about the overall markets is a lot of people are still uncertain, right? So the market moves in, you know confidence, right? So for example when COVID happened, it was the most uncertainty ever because we didn't know if the entire world was gonna end You know when the financial crisis happened it was uncertainty because we didn't know if the whole financial system was gonna end and Whenever the market digested that news and started to realize that hey the world is not ending There's gonna be a cure. There's gonna be this. There's gonna be that the market started shrugging off bad news So what we've been seeing in this market is not that right now. We're not seeing the market shrug off bad news We're seeing the market, you know tank on bad news. So until the market starts to Digest this news whether it be inflation whether it be interest rates whether it be war in Ukraine which is insane because the United States is pretty much funding it and You know war is its own economy So as bad as war is for the world, it is great for business Especially from a country like the United States that loves exporting weapons, right? It's a great business for them So it's kind of a crazy place right now. A lot of stocks are still getting destroyed a lot of stocks are still getting clobbered, you know just recently we had the bedbath and beyond move that went from 5 to 30 and then back down to 8 CFO killed himself like it's crazy right now, bro So the market is even though we're in a bear market even though it's the hardest market There's still opportunities to be making money. It's just not easy Yeah, I feel like the consensus right now is that a lot of there are some major names that have bottomed And like but it's weird because I think a lot of people feel those names have bottom But also like the index and like all that stuff like has not yet or whatever And so it's a lot of like it's kind of a lot of guessing right now And it's like the middle of the range. We had the all-time lows of the short-term lows that happen We had a major major bounce I think it was like 10 or 20 percent in like three weeks and now we're back in the middle So based on where we're at in the middle It's gonna take a catalyst to move it up or down and that house is probably gonna be the upcoming inflation number Which I think it might be this week or it might be next week But there's an upcoming inflation number coming on depending on that data of what's gonna happen That is going to dictate which side of the range we're gonna go on the top or the bottom But the reality is guys like if you're staying alive in this market You're probably doing pretty good if you're making money in this market You're doing really good and if you're making a lot of money then There's really nothing to worry about because if you could survive the hardest market in 40 years You'll be able to survive the next 40 years trading. You know, yeah, that's why I remind myself I Think a lot of people right now like I get a lot of questions from like kids I went to like high school with or just grew up with and people asking a lot about like portfolio management Like how to build a portfolio because I feel like for the last couple years a lot of people were almost afraid of the market because Prices were high. I know that sounds crazy But like when you looked at Amazon trading at like $2,000 a share or Apple like a couple hundred four hundred bucks Whatever, I think it's scary because most people don't make enough money They're like, I'm not gonna buy one share of Apple one share of Amazon But now that done reverse splits the market has come way down I think there's a lot of opportunity And you know for you guys like do you find yourself antsy to kind of get in now or more so like Get ready to get involved or is it hard for you to kind of look at that now while things are so uncertain So I have a funny story. I'm gonna I'm gonna explain two things real quick. So number one is I want to what I learned very early on is that two ways to make money in america I don't know if it's the same in canada Same in canada but with america Two ways to make the most amount of money in america is real estate and the stock market That's all I learned.  So I want to put my money there. It may not grow at 80% a year You know five 10% a year. Okay, no problem Now what I'm doing now is the interest rates are up Real estate is starting to come down. It started to be a buyer's market instead of a seller's market So I'm trying to stockpile as much cash as I can to be able to capitalize on the opportunities coming into real estate In the next, you know, three to six months Additionally, what I did is this is where the funny story is Additionally, I put like some money aside in like venture capital funds. So like it's pretty much like the shark tank stuff So you set let's say 100k aside and they'll put, you know, 10k or 5k into 10 or 20 different businesses 99% of them are going to fail and the one that doesn't fail and ipos and whatever you get to make all your money back Plus four So I checked my venture capital account yesterday And I looked at it and I almost I almost spit my drink out because I saw that The profit on that account was 16.5 million dollars on my account and I was like, what the fuck? Where's the withdrawal button, bro?  I'm like, hey, I'm trying to withdraw this money.  I'm like, oh, sorry.  So like in reality, it's nowhere near that. It's probably nothing near that But when I started I think I should bro. This venture is the real deal.  Tamez. You actually invested in the ring doorbell. I'm trying.  Even I'm like, where the fuck's my money in reality? Sorry, that was like a there's like a two second glitch where like, uh, they added like an extra couple zeroes in there, you know That's yeah You're actually at 160,000.  Um, so I actually had a client yesterday. He came in he's a younger kid He's like in his 20s and he said that he got a little bit of an inheritance or something like that He got gifted 70 grand, right?  Like do you think that gamble is so hard to find that stock in times like this especially I think it doesn't i'm saying zero percent zero percent chance. Yeah, I don't think it exists for like dude The smartest people in the world, right? I'm talking about the hedge funds billionaires probably trillionaires The saudi prince of fucking morocco or whatever the hell it is like these guys they hire Literally the smartest people in the world to do that job and the smartest people in the world can't figure it out So no regular dude is going to be able to figure it out and if he does It's probably going to be a lucky trade It's probably going to be a lucky stock and the next one that he tries to do is where he's going to lose always money Yeah, I mean the problem is that we became so used to seeing moves like with cryptocurrency for example like Seeing bitcoin go from like 2k to 70k And just thinking that that's realistic and you see how many millionaires or even I don't maybe a few billionaires have been Made in the last couple years just by crazy speculative stocks or crypto Yeah, the problem is if you don't sell bro, you can't lock it in that's problem. So a lot of these guys they didn't sell They're up. I don't know from they made You know a hundred thousand dollar investment is now eight million dollars and now that eight million is now You know 800,000 I mean, how can you sit there with bitcoin now? I mean at this point You're in at 70k and you didn't sell people are probably panicked and they're just they're Going to hold it until the day if it hits zero It's the same thing as the regular market, bro The regular it needs a catalyst right it needs some sort of reason to keep going up and In the past it was the inflation hedge everyone but thought that it was the inflation I even thought it was the inflation hedge until inflation came in crazy and this should start taking right yeah, so There needs to be a reason there needs to be a catalyst or needs to be something that says all right like uh The united states is now going to accept bitcoin as legal tender to pay your taxes I don't know some stupid shit They do that that gives it a catalyst. Okay. Now there's actual value, but the reality is that like I don't really know what's going to happen with these crypto stuffs because right now The government is doing everything that they can to keep the dollar strong And because they're doing that it might not be so good for some of these cryptos, you know Yeah, it's hard. I agree. I agree.  Did it whenever whenever people ask me a question like that to be honest I always send them that um There's like an article about remember the whole Warren Buffett debt with hedge funds where he was like You know the s&p index will make more money long term than you guys individual stock picking I always send people that shit because i'm like the reality is 99 of people It's all guessing, you know a lot of people pushing and stuff like this and it's you know If you can get involved in the I mean alex has told me a story a long time ago There was a trader he knew invested a lot of money just in the indexes And and that's all it takes, you know people get greedy, you know They think making a you know 5% on the index a year or even the good year is 10% or even a bad year If you're down 1% they're just greedy and they don't understand like oh, I want that 100x And it's very hard to do that in today's world It's the same thing with trading what we do small caps like Homer and trades don't happen every day. It might happen once a month or once every six months You don't know and it's it's just a greedy thing.  Or do you think it really will affect over here? And and if so kind of why not I mean honestly bro, I think it's really messed up. I think it's crazy, but The reason why this is happening is like it's pretty much all of it's it's not Russia Okay, how do I so this is all happening because of the war in russia and ukraine It's all happening the war in russia and ukraine and because When russia invaded ukraine all the countries united states europe Whatever Are all like, all right We're not buying russian oil anymore. We're not buying russian energy anymore.    Yeah, and I think it's working because china and russia are partnered up They're just buying buying buying all the oil.  I think that They're shot the hell and you know, no matter what they do I think this one's gonna go to a winner for us because you know, our administration is incompetent They would rather raise taxes and send that money to ukraine And help cover student debt Then fix a lot of the problems that are happening with supply chains and No, don't get me wrong fixing student debt is fine But not if you're gonna have to print money to cause more inflation to do it Not if you're gonna have to take the money out of the people that worked hard That actually paid back their debts to pay for other people's debts.  I'll take it Yeah, bro. My stimulus check was lost in the mail Exactly right, but you know, if someone if I get it cool if I had it sweet But at the end of the day, I know long term It's just gonna affect us like down the road and I think people kind of forget like debt matters like the the debt of our country matters and it's really hard for us to like Continue to do all this stuff for people while printing money and without actually putting like actual like Things in place to help us going forward Yeah, the problem. It's it's just a whole big problem, bro. Because like the reality is that like Two more years of a bad Administration is really really bad because you don't know when the bleeding is gonna end Right. Everyone is dealing with higher gas prices Everyone is dealing with higher grocery prices Everyone is dealing with supply chain issues Everyone is dealing with all these same common problems And instead of trying to fix these problems The administration is focused on the wrong things. They're trying to buy votes through You know the student loan forgiveness They're trying to buy votes by being the heroes of the world by you know fighting the war in Ukraine Well, we got our own war here in America, bro It's the war of poverty and they should be fighting that And printing money for that instead of printing money to send missiles to Ukraine and that's just my opinion. Maybe People have other opinions. I think what what's happening. Ukraine is horrible. I think it's terrible But We're doing pretty horrible. I'm pretty bad here too, man. So I think we need help as well Yeah No, I agree with that.  Anyway, because like Everyone I know now is having to pay it back.  Not really.   So I was like, you know what? Let's go for a walk. Like trading day was done Let me go for a walk and everyone on my street.    I got a check in the mail and it was for like $2,000 or something like that during the COVID pandemic and I was like, what the fuck? I was like, well, I'm not going to complain about it.  I don't really need the money or anything But I'm like, I forget what I bought. I think I went to the mall and bought some like shoes clothes And then my own payment for a xi yeah, and then three weeks later I got a notice in the mail and it was just an accident It wasn't supposed to come to me and they basically were like on your tax return It just came off of my taxes and I had to pay it back and I was like Man, I thought I got like a quick little break there. I'm so excited. Yeah, that's where that opus one came from That was pissed. I was like, oh, it's great. But no, I mean, you know, thank god I do encourage people to really like Educate themselves on the stock market and like that's why I love like my investing club in general because we We're lucky I'm gonna knock on wood here and thank god everything like we are able to It's basically like an ATM machine to make our own paycheck while there are people out there who are struggling to Figure out how they're gonna afford their house's cars everything like we are able to come to market and make Think about someone like Stephen or travel mob, bro.  Yeah, dude.  I love it.  So I do think we're very lucky and it's good to Money to bear market in the hardest market in almost existence, right?  It was a record year whether it be in real estate stocks manufacturing Sales whatever is 2021 was an amazing year.  So And no people are not making money So you have to assume that the tax revenue that's coming in in 2022 as well is going to be way Lower than last year, right? And the United States spends way over their budget. So it's not looking good, bro It's really not looking good for us.   I mean It it's not it's I mean it is just the The economy here like like if you guys go to Burger King like Like do like is no one working there still? Yeah.  He's like And I went to a Dunkin Donuts it opens at 8 a.m. Which it used to open at 6 a.m. Now it opens at 8 a.m So I walk over there And it's just pitch black in there.  What is what are we doing? You know, it drives me insane It's like everywhere man. Everywhere's looking for help. We need it.  Yeah, I think people just lowered their standard of living because of coveted Like I have friends that just got so comfortable sitting at home playing video games They'll work the bare minimum. It's that whole quiet quitting concept. That's like very new but yeah Do the bare minimum to stay at your job and not get fired and then after that it's like Bucket like I maybe I have a hundred dollars my checking but I don't have to work Yeah, and the thing is bro like the thing I saw on you yesterday is like If people don't want to work It almost gives the people that do want to work an edge Because all you have to do is standard, right? If you just do the standard and the standard has now become like Overdoing your job. Yeah, because no one else is doing anything. So To be honest to be honest, I think that For hard-working people, this is the best time to work Because the competition is so small and if you just do a little bit to stand out You're gonna be moving up the ladder very fast Yeah, agreed. I think so too. And I think that I think through this at the end of the day Like as crappy as it is right now through this the economy will eventually Rebound and all those lazy people will kind of be left in the dust and they'll you know, it's it's like, you know In 2008 there was opportunity everywhere to get real estate stocks everything the people that were lazy They didn't get involved and they're probably still in the same position. They were back then so This is your chance, but Yeah, I mean stock power cash, bro That's what I've been telling everyone is stock power cash get some money ready.    I Really, I think it's gonna happen, bro.  They're fucked and the stock is going to zero So they'll either take that money or the stock is going to zero That's I can't wait. I can't wait for the day twitter. Uh, you on buys twitter. I think you're not dumb, bro I guys The smartest man in the world for reason And I think that going to court is the only way that twitter will legally show How many bots are actually there because dude to be honest I use twitter. I've been using twitter for years and there's bots everywhere, dude. Yeah, everywhere bots everywhere But Twitter's brutal dude. I have like 6,000 followers or something right now I remember one time I made a post about masks as something like that I had like 900 comments flooded into my thing and I'm like they're all like Liberal liberal like yelling at me or something like I'm like, yeah, and most of these accounts bro are not real people There's a robot. So all these They wouldn't got one of these guys smoking, you know That's true, but and on youtube too.   Well, I know we're kind of coming up on like the half hour mark around there a little longer, but Um, is there anything you guys kind of want to close with? Um, you know I think that's it man. I think that's it. I mean to be honest These podcasts are pretty good. They're pretty fun and we want we should probably ask the audience What what more what topics do you guys want to hear more about you guys want to hear more about overall markets? You guys want to hear more about tv shows you guys want to hear more about like, you know training what do you guys want to hear about we kind of want to have it as a you know, not so Not so concrete straight line type thing We just want to have it so that it's the most entertaining for you guys Maybe you guys learn something so maybe leave a comment and let us know what type of Topics you want us to talk about or maybe comment with a topic that you want us to talk about that way we could kind of Go off what you guys want to see Perfect. Yeah, I agree man. Yeah, that's awesome. Well, thanks everyone for watching and we'll see you for the next one


Should I be trained to meme stocks? If I trade to meme stocks, a couple of things will happen, guys. So this is part of the trading that you need to, it's called stock selection. So depending on your objective, your, your account size, whatever it may be, your niche, right? My niche has been to trade these freaking five of these stocks. They all add up, make money on each one because they're, you know, I'm not trading the hottest stock of the day. The hardest ones are the meme stocks, hardest ones of the day. Hedge ones are running them, Wall Street guys are running them. The eight guys diamond hands, you know, it's so difficult, right?    You can do it too, right?


What imposes condition for instance, a condition that the accused should appear before the police while granting bail in a bailable offence? We have seen that bailable offence, bail is a right. The accused is entitled to bail as of right in a bailable offence. Court cannot refuse bail. Then the further question is whether the court can impose a condition in a bailable offence while granting bail. You shall appear before the police. Can such a condition be imposed is the question. Such a condition cannot be imposed. In the case of a bailable offence, such a condition that you shall appear before the police cannot be imposed. That is what the Kerala High Court held in 1978 KLT 337 by Justice Kochi Thoman who was subsequently elevated to the Supreme Court, who was a judge of the Supreme Court. Justice Kochi Thoman. 1978 KLT 337.


Same keep it clean. How y'all doing? I know Ravens a couple hours ago, they had a presser with G-RO Chris Horton. I didn't watch the presser at all. I saw some quotes here and there, but I was like, I'm not even gonna watch the presser today. Maybe another time. But anyway, Lamar Jackson, he didn't practice today. He didn't practice yesterday. And like today, like the worry, the worry hit me a little bit. I'm a little bit worried about Lamar Jackson. And some of the reasons I'm worried about Lamar Jackson are I just wonder if we know or have the real severity of the injury because the Ravens have been specifically hardball. You don't know what I talked about. The hardball has been very sort of vague when it comes to Lamar Jackson's injury. Just calling it a knee injury. That's it. I don't recall hardball discussing any particular ligaments, anything like that. And it could be, because I respect the hardball could be doing his whole competitive advantage thing, you know, with how he doesn't wanna really talk about injuries like that, especially with your star quarterback and whatnot. So that could be it. But with just the vagueness of the injuries, it reminded me of last year, and especially since they haven't been ruling him out. They've been like waiting to the last second of every game or like the practice reports from the Fridays before the Sunday games or the Thursdays before the Saturday games. That's when they call it. They like, they wait till the last second of every, all right, Lamar Jackson's out. He didn't practice, didn't practice, didn't practice. Okay, now he's out. Instead of just ruling him out from the jump. And not saying that you have to rule him out from jump, but it's like, I wonder if the Ravens, and this is just me, my own thinking, but I wonder if the Ravens, if they know, well, obviously they know, but I wonder if the injury is, hopefully it's not, but I wonder if the injury is worse than they're leading us on to believe because that's what happened last year. That's what happened in 2021. Last year, they said Lamar Jackson had an ankle injury. And then after the season was done, oh, it was a high ankle sprain or low ankle sprain. I forgot which one it was. But yeah, last year, they actually said ankle sprain. They didn't say hi. They didn't say low. They just said ankle sprain. They said ankle injury, ankle sprain. But with this year, they just saying knee injury. But let me take you back last year real quick. This was from the game before the Packers. So, hardball, he said, I say he, Lamar Jackson, I say he has a chance of playing Sunday. It's just one of those things where it's an ankle sprain where if he starts feeling good and we'll check him out prior to pre-game and we'll see where we're at. But if not, we've got Tyler Huntley and he'll be ready to go.  All while they knew, they knew he was in much worse shape that they led a lot of us to believe. And let me take you to another game from last year, the one against the Rams before the game against the Rams. Hardball said, I think he's got a chance to play on Sunday. We'll have to see. This time of year, you've got guys who have different things. He has what he has. Some other guys have their things and things like that. It's all hands on deck. The guys who are ready to play and can play, they will. And the guys who aren't and can't, won't. So, and it's funny, the next paragraph in the article said, it's a similar refrain we've heard from Hardball since Jackson suffered the ankle injury in week 14 and missed the Ravens' past two losses. The quarterback was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. He did not participate Thursday and wasn't seen on the field Friday. And Jackson is officially questionable to take on Los Angeles. So again, just kept stringing along. And again, competitive advantage, right? Competitive advantage. So again, I respect it, but I just wonder if that's what's going on here. So that's what concerns me a lot. And then a side note, well, not really a side note, but Tyler Holly, now he's on the injury report too with soreness in his shoulder. Maybe it's because Tyler Huntley, he's a backup quarterback. So he's not used to getting all these first team reps, but also he's not used to starting all these games. He's not used to getting all this playing time. And then on top of that, in a game where your running game is literally dominating, you say, no, no, no, Tyler Huntley, we're gonna wear that shoulder out. We want you passing 30 passes today. Our running game is killing the J.K. Dobbins. He ain't even fully healthy and he running all over these browns. Because that was, hey, he doing this thing too, running all over these browns. Tyler Huntley, we want you throwing 30 times. So since you got him throwing so much, that's why his shoulder's sore right now. But Tyler Huntley, he should be straight, hopefully. I think he'll be alright though. But back to Lamar, it just makes me wonder. It makes me wonder. And then we've been seeing some little propaganda being floated around about Lamar Jackson and his injuries and whatnot. And then that really makes you think, hold up now, what y'all trying to do? We could talk about that. I've seen a lot of fans who think that Lamar Jackson has played his last snap of the year already. But for different reasons. I've seen some fans that think that the injury is worse than what the Ravens are putting out to be. But I've also seen some fans who think that this is a business strategy by Lamar Jackson. That he's sitting out because he doesn't have a deal. And he's not gonna wanna return to this team since he does not have his contract. Now, Lamar Jackson, he has been a man of his word. Like, again, with the whole contract thing, he said beginning of the year, gonna try to get it before week one. Week one came, they didn't get it. He said, I ain't talking about it no more. He ain't been talking about it no more, like, at all. So I really wouldn't think it'd be a contract negotiation, especially because of the spot that the Ravens are in right now. Because with the Ravens, they are in a very sweet spot. They're nine and five right now. It would actually take, and I mean sometimes the Ravens, they do it, but it would actually take more work for the Ravens to miss the playoffs than it would for them to get in. These dudes would like have to go all the way out of their way to miss the playoffs. But they, so they should get in. But again, you can't sleep, don't sleep on the Falcons.  Don't sleep on the Steelers, whether it's Pickett, with He's back, whether it's Trebizco, whoever.  Not how they been playing recently. Man, they been on fire. They been on fire. But anyway, so yeah, I'm just a little bit worried, man. Just a little bit worried. But for the people, I still have the same opinion on Lamar that I had before, because I know there were people saying, oh man, no, Lamar, he probably just wanna sit out the rest of the year. Even if Ravens go to the playoffs, he probably gonna still sit out. If he's healthy, I don't think he would do that. And I don't think he should do that if he was healthy. Because once he reaches the point to where he can come back and play again, I think he definitely should. Now, this season, he was going in, obviously didn't agree to whatever deal the Ravens offered him. He could have taken it. He could have taken it. But he was like, nope, I ain't taking it. I'm going in on his fifth year option. I'm pretty much betting on himself. Betting on himself so he can really cash out even more the following off season. So, and I love that. I love that I respect it. I admire people when they bet on themselves. I love it. And it's no offense to anybody who would take something that's more safe or more secure or whatever. I got no problem with that either. But when people are willing to really bet on themselves, jump out there, really go for it, that takes a lot of guts. Takes a lot of heart too. Takes a lot of determination as well.  If your situation doesn't allow for you to do it, don't feel bad. Don't, don't. But with Lamar, so he went for it. He went for it and he's obviously still going for it now. So I don't, in my opinion, I don't think it would make sense if he was healthy enough for him to be like, all right, you know what? I bet on myself this year, but since I don't have a contract, I got this knee injury. Then even if he comes back healthy, or even if he gets to the point where he's healthy to be like, all right, you know what? No, I ain't coming back and playing for them no more. Cause if he wasn't gonna play for them this year anymore, then he wouldn't play for them this year anymore already. So I definitely think that he'll come, and then you know, Lamar's a competitor too. He trying to win. He trying to make some stuff happen, man. So I feel like him coming back, he could give this team another reminder, even though they've gotten a million reminders, but he can give them yet another reminder of exactly how important he is to them. Now, hopefully you would hope that when he does come back upon his return, especially with Arani Stanley and JK and Gus Elles and whatnot, you would hope that they don't have him, they don't do all the design runs like they usually do. Now that was a big hope for me going into this season, but we know how that story ended up. But I would think that he would want an opportunity to try to finish what he started. Especially for where the Ravens are sitting there right now. Now say for instance, the Ravens had a losing record, the Ravens were out of the playoffs already. Oh no, we ain't trippin' over this. Okay, all right, Lamar sit out. Come back next year. Well, we'll see what happens with that, but all right, if Lamar don't come back, all right, cool season, the lost calls anyway. Okay, I'll get it. Even though I still think he would still maybe want to come back, but business-wise he might be like, oh, well the season's over already. We'll just suit up for next year. But I still think that the competitor in you know, still wants to come back and play. But the season is obviously not a lost cause and the Ravens are in a good position right now. And like I said earlier, it will take them extra work. They would have to really go out of their way to not make the playoffs. So he's gotta be seeing that and be like, man, we're right there. We're not in the playoffs yet, but we like right there. And you got three games left. Your schedule is not necessarily favorable, but you got the Falcons and the Steelers and the Bengals. All could be competitive games, especially with T-Paul to more Ravens, but you know that, boy. Yeah, they don't like blowing teams out, man. They don't like blowing teams out, man. But anyway, so yeah. I just thought I'd share my concerns with y'all, see how y'all are feeling about Lamar Jackson right now. See if anybody else got some of them same words. I know there's some people that told me, hey, no, no, no, just chill out. Just chill out, don't worry. Lamar Jackson was at the practice facility today. He was on Instagram, recording James Pro-Shane, whatnot, he put him on the story. Oh yeah, that's great. That's cool. Did he practice? Is he getting ready to play? Or is that just the Instagram story? Shout out to Ty's Bowser. Is that just the Instagram story? I didn't see a quote. Again, I didn't listen to the press, but I did see the quote that I think this, Greg Roman said him and Bowser hugged it out or something like that. You know, Greg Roman, while he was hugging Bowser, he probably told, Bowser, don't you play with me? Why would you do that? Why are you trying to get me fired, man? And Bowser probably tapping him on the back like, hey, this is it for you, my friend, but anyway. Or you know what? You know what would be crazy? You know what would be really crazy? And we about to get out of here now, but you know what would be really crazy? What if, what if the Ravens gave Greg Roman a contract extension? What if they gave him a contract extension? Because the Ravens offense, especially when the Bateman was healthy, Duvenay was healthy, they were doing that thing early this season. Now they still dropped, but what if they gave him a contract and they were like, look, you lost Bateman. Now you lost Duvenay. You don't have to shuffle through this offensive line, but we're going to give you a contract extension. You know, as crazy as it sounds, it doesn't really sound too crazy at all. When you really think about it, because, yeah, even though, again, Greg Roman, he has been an issue, but he is not the issue. It's much deeper than Greg Roman. So anyway, just something to think about. I love y'all team, keep it clean. I appreciate y'all and like, hey, Greg Roman actually may not be when you think about it at the end of this year. We out.


So, this here is a potential solution of the game.  The actual quantity that he produces is gamma 2 star star of Q1 star star. So, this here is the action, these two are the strategies. So, then if this seems like a very natural gameplay, player 2 is going to respond with by maximizing his profit as a function of anything that player 1 would have played, keeping that in mind, player 1 would then pick a quantity that would appropriately then maximize his anticipated profit from such action. Now, tell me, is there any other gameplay possible? So, we have gone about this kind of in a somewhat intuitive way and what we have said is that we have said this is what player 2 knows. So, let him just optimize his profit as a function of Q1 and we got a certain function and we said that should be his optimal strategy, assuming that we said what should be player 1's optimal strategy. There is a pitfall in this is that we have not really formally written out what is, what do we want from a solution, just the way we did for simultaneous move games. See, in a simultaneous move game, we said, what do we want from a solution? We want this and we concluded that what we want is this property that in the absence of communication, no player should have an, since there is no communication, no player should have an incentive to unilaterally deviate from his strategy. We have not really formally thought about this problem in that way. We just sort of solved this more like a puzzle, like what seems more like a newspaper puzzle. So, let us now formally write out again what is it that we would want as a solution of this game. So, if you want to talk about solution of this game, we need to first ask, we decided what the strategies are. The strategies space, the space of strategies are, space of strategies for player 1 is just 0 to infinity, space of strategies for player 2 is all functions from 0 to infinity to 0 infinity. This is now fixed. Now, what are players then trying to do? How are we solving for the game in this space of strategies? Yes, but okay, so players, so okay, let me ask you the following questions. When are these strategies being chosen? So, are these strategies chosen? When are these strategies being decided? So, in particular, let us look at a simultaneous move game, let us take matching pennies, both players would, each player, the players play simultaneously or without revealing the one's action to the other. Now, here the action of one is being told to the other. So, there is, there seems to be like there is some communication going on in this game. So, if there is some communication going on, then do we need to revisit the Nash equilibrium? Yeah, or I mean, so can we apply all the thinking that we had for the Nash equilibrium for this game? So, the point is that because now this, there is an observation involved here, player 2 can observe what player 1 is doing and the simultaneous nature is lost. Then, you know, all our earlier thinking of unilateral deviations, etc., etc., is that still valid? Okay, why, why is it still valid? See, that is why the earlier question that I asked matters. When are these strategies being chosen? That is the main thing. See, there are two different, let us say, time instances where things are happening. One is when the strategies are being decided.  Okay, so that is, that is the, that is one instance. The other instance is when the actions are decided. Okay, the action for player 1 is trivial, it is equal to his strategies. So, you can say it is chosen at the start of the game. For player 2, the action is not equal to his strategy. For player 2, the action is equal to, equal to a function of his strategy and for that function to be evaluated, player 1's action has to be put in as an argument. Right? So, player 2's action is chosen during gameplay, but the strategies are chosen before gameplay. So, the communication that is happening, if at all, you know, or any transfer of information that is happening, is happening during gameplay, not before gameplay. So, at the time when the strategies are still being chosen, that means at the time when q1 star star and gamma 2 star star are being decided, at that time the game was still a simultaneous move game, because they are being chosen without knowledge of information of the other, what the other one has done. Action is being chosen later using the information of the action of the other player, but the strategies are being chosen simultaneously in much the same way as the strategies are being chosen, as the kids are deciding whether to play heads or tails in the time in the matching pennies game. Is this clear? The chronology, so the point is the, this is actually very important that you know, you realize that the strategies are being chosen at the start of the game. Now, why is it well defined to talk of strategies at the start of the game? Does this make sense? Is it meaningful to define strategies at the start of the game? Do you have all the information needed to define strategies at the start of the game? You do. So, on the other hand, you do not have the information needed to define actions. At the start of the game, player 2 cannot say how much he is going to produce. He can only say how much he is going to produce as a function of what the other one would do. You know, he will say, oh, based on what the other one would do, I would do this. But he cannot say, we cannot put a number and say, I am going to produce this much quantity. So, what he, but he can say that at the start of the game, what is going to be my plan, that if he produces so much, I am going to produce so much, etc., etc. So, the entire function can be specified. So, a function gamma 2 that maps 0 infinity to 0 infinity can be specified at the start of the game for player 2. Similarly, a quantity can be specified for player 1. So, these strategies can be decided at the start of the game and therefore, it is possible to move this game to the space of strategies in which and in to a situation where the strategies are being chosen simultaneously. Is this clear? So, let us write out now the utilities of the players as a function of their strategies. So, let us write out first for player 2. So, what are the strategies of the players? Player 2 strategy is a function gamma 2, player 1 strategy is a quantity Q1. I can even write, you know, for if you want for symmetry, I can even write that the quantity that player 1 strategy is also a function. It is a function of no variable. So, it is basically a quantity. It is a constant. So, it is not a function of any variable. So, it is a trivial function. But you know, so this is also, you know, in some sense a function gamma 1 of no variable. So, in other words, it is a constant function. So, what is this gamma j2 of gamma 2 comma Q1? So, this is equal to U2, U2 of we are trying to write the payoff of player 2 as a function of his strategy, not as a function of quantity. U2 was in the space of quantity, right or was in the space of actions. So, now as a function of the strategy, I want to write this. So, as a function of this, yeah, so it will be gamma 2 of Q1 comma Q1. Now, question is this well defined, is this a number? It is a number because if I give you a quantity Q1 and a function gamma 2, this evaluates to a number. If Q1 was a function of something else, then I would need to give you that something else for this to become a number. But Q1 is already a number. So, this is now a number. Likewise, this is also well defined. So, now I can do the following. I can say I will forget about this thing that I have on the right, this thing in this that I have on the right and just think of this these as my payoffs. So, essentially now I have a game in which player 2 is choosing a value of a function or player 2 is just choosing a gamma 2 from a space capital gamma 2, player 1 is choosing a Q1 from 0 infinity, player 2 wants to maximize J2, player 1 wants to maximize J1 and these choices are being made simultaneously. So, now I can ask for a Nash equilibrium in the strategy space. The Nash equilibrium of this game now is and what is the Nash equilibrium now? The Nash equilibrium is that no player would want to deviate given the other player. What the other player is playing? It is a profile of strategies such that no player would want to unilaterally deviate. So, which means that player 1 would want to stick to playing Q1 hat assuming the other player plays gamma 2 hat and player 2 would not want to switch to a different function assuming player 1 sticks to a quantity Q1 hat. So, player 2 wants to stick to this function. So, player 1 does not have an incentive to change its quantity assuming player 2 is going to respond with this plan the gamma 2 hat plan. And player 2 would not want to switch its plan assuming player 1 does not want to change its quantity from Q1 hat. Is this clear? So, this is for all Q1 in 0 infinity and this is for all functions gamma 2 now and gamma 2. This is now, this is a Nash equilibrium. This is the notion of a Nash equilibrium. And it can be justified in just the same way as we justified a Nash equilibrium for a simultaneous move game. Although there is a exchange of information during gameplay, we can still justify this Nash equilibrium as a valid solution concept because there is no exchange of information at the time of choosing strategy. Is this clear? Yeah, player 1 does not know gamma 2. You mean the gamma 2 that player 2 will so we can justify this as a notion just the way we justified the Nash equilibrium for a simultaneous move game. It is a point from which no player would want to unilaterally you know we justify it as if any point has to be a solution then it has to be one where under the communication constraints deviation is not possible. And just that deviation now is deviation in the appropriate strategy space. For player 1, it is in the space of quantities. For player 2, it is in the space of functions or plans. We will come to that. So, little while back I said P1 can compute gamma 2 star star that which is a specific strategy. It is a device for him to compute his own quantity which is Q1 star star. So, I was just trying to sort of do a mental reasoning can this be a potential way of solving the game. And I said in that as a step in that I said we can actually do this because this is a well-defined thing for to compute a quantity is Q1 star star it is I need to solve Q player 1 has to solve this optimization for which he has to compute he needs gamma 2 star star for which he that he can solve by from the above optimization. Is this clear?  But after that I said what we said was that you know this is not a very formal reasoning because it is a very you know sort of a case by case thing we just sort of heuristically reasoned that this is how it should work out. But then if we think of the problem in the space of strategies formally really what all we are looking for is a Nash Equilibrium now in a different space and that is how we should be solving for the game is it okay.


Live from Denver, Colorado, it's theCUBE.  Hey, welcome to theCUBE. Lisa Martin in Colorado for Commvault Go 19. Stu Miniman is with me this week and we are pleased to welcome one of Commvault's long time customers from the University of Leicester. We have Mark Penny, the system specialist in infrastructure. Mark, welcome to theCUBE. Hi, it's good to be here. So you have been a Commvault customer at the uni for nearly 10 years now. Just giving folks an idea about the uni. You've got 51 different academic departments, about five research institutes. Cool research going on, by the way. And between staff and students, about 20,000 folks, I'm sure all bringing multiple devices onto the campus. So talk to us about, you came on board in 2010. It's hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago and said, all right guys, we really got to get a strategy around backup. Talk to us about, way back then, what you guys were doing, what you saw as an opportunity and what you're doing with Commvault today. So at the time, there was a wide range of backup products. There was no real assurance that we were getting backups. We had a bit of Commvault 7, that was backing up the windows infrastructure. There was Tivoli Storage Manager backing up a lot of Linux and there was an Amanda and Open Source thing and then there was all sorts of scripts and things. So for instance, VMware backups were done by creating an array snapshot with a script. Then mounting that script into that snapshot into another server, backing up the server with Commvault and the restore process was an absolute, pig-zero, it was very, very difficult. Long-winded required a lot of time and the checks for this. It really was quite difficult to run. It used a lot of staff time. We were, as far as the corporate servers can turn exclusively on tape, Tivoli Storage Manager were using disk, Amanda was again for tape but a different, completely isolated system. Coupled with this, there had been a lack of investment in the data centers themselves so the network hadn't really got a lot of throughput. This meant that we were using private backup networks in order to keep backup data off the production networks because there was real challenges over bandwidth contention. Backups also, they were overrun and so on. If you've got a backup coming into the working day, it affects student there. So we started with a blank sheet of paper in many respects and went out to see what was available. And there was the usual ones with the net backup, Tivoli obviously again, Convult, ArcServe, but what was really interesting was de-duplication was starting to come in but at the time, Convult 9 had just been released and it had an absolute killer feature for us which was client-side de-duplication. So this meant that we could now get rid of most of this private backup network that was making a lot of complexity. It also did back up to disk and back up to tape. So at that point, we went in with six media agents. We had a few hundred terabytes of disk storage. The strategy was to keep 28 days on disk and then do long-term retention on tape into a tape library. We kept that through to about 2013. Then took the decision, disk was working, so let's just do disk only and save a whole load of effort even with a tape library, you've got to refresh the tapes and things. So keep it all on disk. With the de-duplication, we were basically getting a one-to-one. So if we had, take my current figures, about 1.5 petabytes of front-side protected data, we've got about 1.5 petabytes in the backup system, which because of all the synthetic falls and everything, we've got 12-month retention, we've got 28 days retention. It works really, really well in that. And that relationship of almost one-to-one with what's in the backup with all the retention and the client-side data has been fairly consistent since we went all disk. Mark, I wonder if we can actually step back a second. Talks about the role and importance of data in your organization, because we went through a lot of the bits and the bytes and the pieces there, but as a research organization, I expect that data is quite a strategic component of it. Data forms your intellectual property. It's what is core to your research. It's the output of your investigations. So where we're doing earth-of-relational science, so we get data from satellites. That is then brought down raw as tiny little files. They then get a dataset, which will consist of multiple packages of these files and maybe even different measurements from different satellites. That's then combined and can be used to model scenarios, climate change, temperature or pollution, all these types of things can then come in and it's how you then take that raw data, work with it, in our case we use a lot of HPC, high performance computing to manipulate that data and a lot of it is how smart the researchers are in getting their code, getting the maximum out of that data and then the output of that becomes a paper, a project and a finalized set of data which is the result, which all goes with the paper. We've also done a lot of the genetics and things like that, because the DNA fingerprinting was to Alec Jeffery and what was very interesting with that one is how it was those techniques which then identified the bones that were dug up under the car park in Leicester, which was Richard the third. That's right, I saw that documentary. Yeah and that really was quite exciting the way that worked. It really was quite fitting really that it's techniques that the university had discovered which were then instrumental in identifying that. So one of the interesting things I found in this part of the market is you used to talk about just protecting my data. A lot of times now it's about how do I leverage my data even more, how do I share my data, how do I extract more value out of the data. In the 10 years you've been working with Convaltor are you seeing that journey is that something that organizations going down? There's almost, there's actually two conflicting things here because researchers love to share their data but some of the data sets are so big that can be quite challenging. Some of the data sets we take other people's data bring it in, combine it with our own to do our own modeling then that goes out to provide some more for somebody else and there's also issues about where data can exist. So there's a lot of very strict controls about the NHS data, so health data which so NHS England, that can't then go out to Scotland and sometimes the regulatory compliance almost gets sidelines with the excitement about the research and we have quite a sort of dichotomy of making sure that where we know about the data that the appropriate controls are there and we understand it and hopefully people just don't go and put it somewhere, it's not because some of the data sets for medical research that given the data which has got personal identifiable information in it that then has to be stripped out so that you've got an anonymized data set which they can then work with and it's ensuring that the right data is used the right information is removed so that you don't inadvertently go and then expose stuff. So it's not just pure research and it going in this silo and in this silo it's actually ensuring that you've got the right bits in the right place and it's being handled correctly. So talk to us about as you pointed out this massive growth in data volumes from a university perspective, a health data perspective, research perspective the files are getting bigger and bigger in the time that you've started this foundation with Commvault in the last nine, 10 years tremendous changes, not just in data but talking about compliance you've now got GDPR to deal with. Give us a perspective and snapshot of your Commvault implementation and how you've evolved that as all the data changes, compliance changes and Commvault's technology has evolved. So if you take where we started off we had a few hundred petabytes of disk just before we migrated to our on-premise three cloud libraries, at that point I think I'd got 2.1 petabytes of backup storage. The volume of data is exponentially growing because the resolution of the instruments increases. So you can suddenly have a four-fold growth in your data but some of those are quite interesting things. See when I first joined there was great excitement with a project which was just known as the Bethi Colombo which was the Mercury, a European Space Agency to do Mercury and they wanted 50 terabytes and at that time that was quite a big number and we were thinking, well we made this blink but we need to be careful, yes okay, 50 terabytes is that over the line for project and now that's probably just to get us going and not much actually happened with it and then storage systems changed and they still had their 50 terabytes with almost nothing in it. We then understood that the spacecraft hadn't even been launched and that once it had been launched which was earlier this year it was going to take a couple of years before the first data came back because it has to go to Venus, it has to go around Venus in the wrong direction against gravity to slow it down, then it goes to Mercury and the real bulk data then starts coming back in. You would have thought going to Mercury was dead easy, you just go boom straight in but actually if you did that because of gravity to the Sun, it would just go in, you'd never stop, it would just go straight into the Sun and you'd lose your spacecraft. Nobody wants that, it's too expensive. Nobody wants that. Another really interesting example is have you heard of the Gaia satellite? Yes. This is the one which is mapping a billion stars in the Milky Way, it's now gone past its primary mission and it's got most of that data, huge data sets and that data, there's a, it's already been worked on but there's other universities tasked with packaging it and cleansing it. We're going to get a set of that data, we're going to host, we're currently hosting a national HPC facility which is for space research. That's being replaced with an even bigger, more powerful one that'll probably fill one of our data centers completely, it's about 40 racks worth. That's just a process, that data because there's so much information that's come from it and it's the resolution, it's the speed at which it can be computed and holding so much in memory. If you take across our current HPC systems, we've got 100 terabytes of memory across two systems and those numbers were just unthinkable. Even 10 years ago, a terabyte of memory, you... So Mark, Lisa and I would like to keep you here all week to talk about space data. Yeah, keep it out, Mark. Two of our favorite topics. But before we get towards the end, there's been a lot of changes at Commvault. It's a whole new executive team, they bought HeadVig, they landmatch this Metallic.io, they've got new things. It's a long time customer, what's your viewpoint on Commvault today and what you've been seeing over the last year? So it's been quite interesting to see how Commvault has evolved and the change which sort of happened between V10 and V11 when they took the decision on the next generation platform that it would be this, by industry standards, quite an aggressive pace of service packs which have then come out onto this schedule and to be fair, that schedule has been stuck to and we can plan ahead, we know what's happening and it's interesting that they're both patches and they're new features and stuff and it's really great to have that line to work to now. The platform now supports natively so much stuff and this was actually one of the decisions which took us round using our own on-prem S3 cloud library. We were using Azure to put some tier one data off site and with all is working great that, can we do S3 on-prem? And it's supported by Commvault, it's just a cloud library. Now when we first started, that didn't exist. We took the decision, we'll proof of concept and so on and it all worked and we then got Hyfascale as well and it's interesting to see how Commvault has gone down into that appliance level too because people want to be able to just have a box, unpack it and plug it in. If you haven't got a big technical team or strong skills in those area, why worry about putting your own system together? Hyfascale gives you back up in a box and the partnerships with, we were an HP customer so we were using Apollo's for our S3 storage and the Apollo is actually the platform if we would have bought Hyfascale, it would have gone on an HP Apollo as well because of the agreements we've got in place with HP but it's quite interesting how they've gone from software. The hardware has now come in and it's evolving into this platform and with Headfig, I mean there was a Commvault object store buried in it but it was very discreet, no one really knew about it. You occasionally could see a term and it would appear but it wasn't something which they published or there but object store with increasing data volumes, object store is the only way to store these volumes of data in a resilient and durable way. So Headfig buying that and integrating it in provides a really interesting way forward. From my perspective, I'm using S3. So if we had gone down the Headfig route, from my perspective what I would like to see is I have a storage policy, I click and I'm going to point it to S3 and it goes out, it provisions the buckets, does the whole lot in one couple of clicks and that's it, job done. I don't need to go out, create the user, create the bucket and then go and add every little bit and piece in there and it's that tight integration which is where I see the benefits coming in you. It's giving value to the platform and giving the customer the assurance that you've configured it correctly because the processes and automations in Commvault ensure that every step of the way the right decision is being made and that, yeah, with Metallic, that's everything it's about. It's actually tried and tested products with a very, very smart workflow process put around to ensure that the decisions you make, you don't need to be a Commvault expert to get the outcome and get good backups. Excellent, well Mark, thank you for joining Stu and me on the keep talking about the evolution that the University of Leicester has gone through and your thoughts on Commvault's evolution in parallel. We appreciate your time. Everyone, thank you very much. For Stu Miniman, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE from Commvault Go 19.

Head of our Facebook page also and participate on our Facebook platform. We have the question of the day that has been posted on the page. Like the page, follow us on those particular platforms and of course feel free to let us know where you're watching us from. This is youth and politics. Let's take a look at what has been taking center stage in the nation. First things first, Edward. Before we touch on matters concerning youth, politics, vision 2030 youth, what is that all about? Oh yes, thank you so much for this opportunity. Like you said, I'm from vision 2030 youth. A multifaceted youth centered organization that is very progressive and runs a program around the country that enable young people to move forward. It started off by asking ourselves what is vision 2030. As you know Kenya has a vision, Kenya has a path and a direction that it's supposed to be going but you'll find that a lot of young people don't see that vision. They see maybe other visions of other countries and desire those countries but it's until young people of this nation begin to desire to see their vision and the country's vision and that's how vision 2030 youth came about so that then we can be the leading organization to go around the country enabling young people to get the information about the vision because in that vision there is a place for the youth. The reasons why there is so much unemployment is because not so much youth are looking at entrepreneurship as an opportunity. So us as vision 2030 have looked at the entire economy sector and understood there is agriculture. There are those basic sectors that have to operate for Kenya to be existing. So something like agriculture is one of the best options for young people to invest in or to get into because agriculture currently the average age of a farmer in Kenya is 65. So you can imagine 12% of young people in Kenya are in agriculture. That's a very little number and yet you'll find this youth come from the rural areas where their parents have enough land that they can start tilling they can start producing in those lands and agriculture is not just about digging with a jembe there is mechanization there is also agribusiness what we talk about value addition and value chain opportunities so young people need to open up their minds and look at that and also vision 2030 just to conclude we look at things in a different perspective for example we have a program called bilateral recovery program bilateral meaning this country as a nation has signed bilateral agreements with nations around the world you've seen his excellency Huru Kenyatta and even other members of our government travel to foreign countries and signed bilaterals in all those bilaterals I'm sure there is something there for the youth so we as vision 2030 have looked at WTO all those institutions that have come to Kenya to enable Kenya stand up and lift up its capacity we believe by creating that awareness and enabling the youth to demand for those agreements so that they can find their future alright thank you so much that is vision 2030 youth and of course I love the fact that you are targeting the young people of this country to empower them in that particular area and keep doing what you're doing and let's talk about Mata's Konstanti the nation and I'd like to hear your thoughts in regards to this because the stage has been set for an epic battle at the Supreme Court we are looking at a scenario where we are going to see the Azimio lawyers going to the Supreme Court and of course this is a petition that is going to be filed by 2pm today and we have Wafulache Bukati and Ruto who are going to be the main respondents to this petition what do you think about the likelihood of this are they going to win are they going to lose what is the turnout according to you in this petition thank you very much firstly I would like to say that and first thank Kenyans young people old people all Kenyans for having a peaceful election for the first time we've been able to have an election without a lot of violence or any violence so to speak it has been somehow free and fair even going by what the observers who had come around the country the international observers some from the Americas some from Europe some from all other places African Union East African Corporation all of these people we've had a process because the election is a process it's not just an event and you remember the kind of tension that the country was going through when we were waiting for the announcement and there was so much tension you could see that there is going to be anxiety was all over the country but we over stood that and yes William Samoy Ruto was elected president-elect according to IBC and the announcement that was made however the country which is a democracy following the constitution of 2010 which gives an elaborate direction after which an announcement is made by the IBC chairman so Azimiyo Laumodja is in its rightful place whereby they are going to court to say that they object or they don't agree with the outcome of the election however I think the burden of proof lies on Azimiyo because UDA Kenya Kwanzaa will be given all the evidence all the accusations and all proof from Azimiyo from the side of Azimiyo so they will be able to scrutinize it because they have their legal time allowed and the timelines will allow them actually in regards to that particular timeline because once the petition has been filed today it is at 2pm deadline once it is filed Azimiyo will have 24 hours to sell the respondents and the respondents will have in turn 4 days to file their response so after that according to according to the information out there is that there will be a petitioner who will have one day to file an interlocutory application alright and of course on the 8th day after filing this petition the supreme court will hold a pre-trial conference sharing of the petition will will start immediately after that and of course the judges verdict will come later on and that will be final so if you look at this particular timeline that we have 4 days, 8 days and the petitioners being given time to respond do you feel like this process is going to be a replica of what happened in the previous general election I mean it would not be really a replica it would have its own mechanisms because you can imagine at that time William Samoe Ruto Uhuru Kenyatta on one side and Railo Odinga was on the other side I think the setup this time is very tough I believe even this is a much more closer election to call compared to you know during the other time in 2017 Railo Odinga did not run he boycotted the election so Uhuru Kenyatta was elected with 98.2% however this time the numbers are so close so it wouldn't be like the 2017 it will be a lot of David Barragana li 5 elections no no no this will be a lot of you have to prove your evidence because in the end of the day we have to also have faith in our institutions I believe Azimio also went in the election knowing if they win they were going to be announced by the same institution or if Kenyakwanza the same way or even Wajakoya and the other Mr. Maore you see so everybody knew that the election would have an outcome however disputes are always allowed and Azimio will have its day to bring the dispute to the public and say this is evidence and we as a public also you remember we you know there is no password I believe the the system that IBC had put in place because we have many MPs elected we have many MCAs elected we have many Senators elected 47 County Women Repelected and we haven't had of any polling station drama we haven't really had of any matters that happened during the polling station or during the election period this is now post election where we are hearing that they might have been some anomalies and you know even globally it's recognized in the world there is no perfect election in the world so this is going to be a grand battle I believe the battle is here but the battle doesn't end there in the end of the day you know the power that is given unto the Supreme Court the Supreme Court has power to either nullify the election or accept it was free and fair so once it nullified you know what happened in 2017 there is a reelection so that is probably going to be the outcome but we will see I don't want to jump my gun because I haven't seen the evidence provided for by Azimio but once we see them because they are the complainant then we will be able to make a soba decision even as a nation and I love what you are saying here because at the end of the day as a nation we are looking forward to having something that is going to take the country forward in terms of matters concerning peace but the conversation that has been ongoing also is in regards to the commissioners that are of the IBC here we are looking at the four commissioners we have Sherrera, Francis Wanderi we have Justice Nyanga and Irene Masete who have maintained that the numbers released by the chairman of IBC Wafolec Bukati who are erroneous that he ought to have verified before declaring the final results and we have seen the trends youth have been talking about on twitter they are 0.01% and they are 0.1% and the opekness of the whole process what is your thoughts on that particular issue and how it plays in this case I don't want to seem bias but for example take a company it has board members when you are making a decision you dispute when the board is there and in this case IBC under the election at 2011 is like a board that's how it operates so if there are any disputes you bring it forth within the board and you raise it up and secondly if IBC had a national tiling center at bombers of Kenya where you saw all agents according to the law all chief agents and agents of different candidates were all pregrimaged at the bombers of Kenya so I felt a bit taken off myself personally and I've had this discussion going around as well to this point that how did they desire to live the bombers of Kenya as it was the board and the office of the IBC national presidential tiling center to drive over 10 kilometers to the CBD to a hotel to make that announcement I believe if they made it in front you see when the fracas was there everything was heated up there so they should have raised that matter in front of the TV in front of the public so that that matter is dealt with there because now what happened is later is now you can see people are trying to say you've seen this on social media and I know social media can be faked around especially now young people need to be very careful of a lot of fake news but we've seen in social media where they have put two different pictures of the lady Cheshire and Rayl Odinga speaking and they have tried to show that they are speaking actually the same statement so you see the authenticity so if they stayed there they would have made this whole process more authentic but for them to live now it then creates another shadow because now the body and then you can hear also in the legal arguments of different people especially like now Kenya Kwanza because they are the ones who are saying you're stopping our election they are saying that the burden of announcing or the the responsibility of announcing the presidential election is held under the office of the chairperson who is the national presidential returning officer like in the constituency there is a returning officer you don't see anybody else going to announce in the county you don't see RO who is a county returning officer and now in the national there is a national returning officer who is Wafulachi Bukati however if it's in a bold decision whereby we are saying procurement needs to go to this company then there is a vote and in the vote is where the commissioners would have their say but to this one even the deputy PO did he announce together with the RO when the RO was present only in Embakasi where the RO was you had about that story very sad story where a young man who has a young family has now lost his life because of election we just hope this election matter as a young person ends so that Kenya can move on and we hope that the judges will be able to be fair and just in our constitution in our national anthem that they provide justice and justice for everyone and I'm looking at the IEBC and it has had a very long past or history of commissioners resigning especially during the election period either before during or after and this has brought about to the questions being raised about the the stability of this particular institution the division within the commission that led to the four commissioners to call for that particular press conference that you've just highlighted on this particular result for the election is also likely to feature in this particular case I believe so and by yesterday it was not clear if the four who include the commission vice chairperson Julia Machereira would appear as respondents or witnesses but now I'm looking at the logitivity of the IEBC do you feel like it's going to last to the point that it will come and see through the next general election I know this I'm looking at the future here I think that's the commission yes that's a very good question and a very permanent question to Kenyans because for example we are business people as young people we trade but immediately we talked about two months to election if you are having business of exporting your fruits or your vegetables abroad you are told now we are not buying now from Kenya because of instability if you had a business transaction with a foreigner who had come to this country they closed down their companies and they said minimum engagement ok and this also follows down to even businesses closing down you saw even during that period of election a lot of businesses had closed down and I thank even the government current government for trying to bring back normalcy which is very important however I believe that the IEBC commissioners and their stand which under the constitution have the right to oppose they have the right to speak what they feel is their opinion and indeed don't believe even Chibukati has the right to stop them from saying that however I would like a clear process we would like a clear process of engagement because if they are chosen as witnesses then it might even look bias because as a witness a witness and you are part of the commission the commission and you've taken the oath of secrecy you've taken the oath of allegiance or whatever the oath they don't take even the normal oath they take their own oath because these are independent offices established under the constitution 2010 so we need to be very careful but however we need Kenya's democracy to experience this because once and for all we will know what the process was and better of this time there is no mystery like a password you remember about the server the issue about the server at least this time the server being not open or not closed this time we have a portal so everything is within the portal the IEBC last to the point that it sees through to the next general election in 2027 in your view in my view any person who will come in will want to change it be it Rilo Odinga or be it William Bruto because or even the people of Kenya in the end of the day if we elect a president and I know the constitution says the nation lies with the people that doesn't mean because we have given us sovereignty or they have borrowed a bit of it that means that we as Kenyans don't have our own civil rights we have civil rights and we as Kenyans if we feel aggrieved against the IEBC or we feel that they need to be more reform that process has to continue but one thing you have to give credit one thing you have to give credit to this IEBC unlike the last time which the IEBC ran the election in many quarters and in all quarters you could hear of praises of how the IEBC ran the election only perhaps at this final time where there is this issue which has been raised but the IEBC everybody in Kenya because even the way they managed the whole process this time was very unique imagine there was a choir there was a choir when Akina Nani was bashing the IEBC officials there was a choir singing for us so you could see the positive energy and I believe Chebukati tried his level best it's not an easy job you remember Kivwito he was called Mr Kivwito you remember what he he's Kivwito you remember the kind of stress the mze went through just because of that election election is not the end of life and I believe Kenyans have proved to the world that you don't have to fight because of an election election is just the freedom of expression freedom of association freedom of political engagement it's not a matter of life I love what you said and I saw a particular meme online when somebody was making a joke about if you were to apply for job interview and to say that you can work under pressure you can indicate clearly for example hours at the choir yes I mean that one is the choir at Bomas is a very spiritual choir I believe they held they are cool threw out the whole process threw out the whole process and I believe that's the spirit of Kenya the IBC's performance for this election do you think that if we are to go to court and of course the the supreme court has 14 days to deal with this particular matter will it tarnish the whole repetition of Wafulache Bukati considering the fact that you know what he has tried to bring changes in the commission he has tried to bring changes in this particular general election ensuring that all form 34As was sent to the cloud and every body every Kenyan could access it just from the comfort of their form to be quite honest on my opinion is I don't want to kind of stigmatize or prejudice going by his statements that he's given he's even talked about being profiled and his members of staff being profiled they're working still under a lot of pressure what I feel and I want to ask the commissioners did they report this incident to the police have they done a statement with the police to report because if they say there was a fraud the people who deal with this crime under the penal code is the directorate of criminal investigation you understand even Chebukati when he was attacked or when he said that his staff have been attacked he wrote a whole letter and reported the matter to the NPCS National Police Service now that's all of it including the DCI and the administration police so I hope that the commissioners have reported this matter so that even what they have said has to be in a statement which is under oath so that it's not you know right now what we are seeing a lot from the commissioners is social media statements and news statements we need to see a signed statement which is certified by Anafi David saying that this is my true standing and that will all be done when we go to court now interestingly even as we talk about this matters concerning the court the president elect William Bruto has been making statements into gas to planning for the future and he said this am I quote but for the first time they have not planned demonstrations or other undesirable acts this is a good way to start growing our young democracy in the right direction this is what D.P. Bruto said what you thought in regards to that because he also thanked President Rukinyata and promised to carry on from where he lives he will have his respect and enjoy his space this is D.P. Bruto talking about Urukinyata this is the president elect and he said he will have his respect and enjoy his space and I am going to continue from where he will have left I think that statesman that statesman because irrespective of what people may say and irrespective of what people's views are private or public it's still there as a fact and I am glad you corrected yourself because he hasn't been sworn in but it's still there as a fact that William Bruto is a president elect and his stacha and his demeanor has changed because obviously you saw even his security was enhanced he's gotten various acknowledgements congratulations from various states all over Africa and in the world and therefore it's important and prime for him to behave as a president elect and it was a good show of olive branch to his excellency Urukinyata and seeking the president and saying that we will look after you and your interest will be looked after and saying like kind of an olive branch and saying the election has ended irrespective of there being a petition life has to go on and we are going to continue and the constitution also and it's not even William Bruto himself I saw that yesterday when Gashagwa in one of the state one of the appearances they made in Kiambu in Gedongori when Waitito said that he seemed like he wanted to be a virgin against Urukinyata no Urukinyata is a respected African statesman and I'm happy that even Gashagwa corrected Waitito and told him that we cannot have that but politics in during a competition people say a lot of things but once the competition is over we have to make peace and the country has to continue so I do really really congratulate William Bruto for the things that he said and he pledged to revive projects worth 500 billion Kenya shalings this is William Bruto and he said that these projects have stalled and he pledged to revive them he also promised that no part of the country will be sidelined by his administration I think to be very honest and to be fair to the gentleman he had a vision and he demonstrated very well in the period and he provided a manifesto and I believe he went around the country with his team to do what is called economic forums county economic forums regional economic forums to find out what ails the community and society in its own diversity I believe even he has the Nyanza one he has the different areas and therefore he is simply saying what he is going to do in his vision and even if it was Raila Odinga whom we respect a lot Right Honorable Raila Odinga even him he would have been saying the same so we shouldn't look at it in any negative way we should actually be saying wow if one of them can do it and make that happen and put a cent in someone's pocket and change someone's life and uplift and enable young people in this country like our organization what we stand for for example like the SMEs we are very very dear about SMEs we have a program called student SME program if you look at the rate of unemployment in this country and who are these those who have not gone to high school or tertiary education you rank them or demograph them as under employed there is a category they are called under employed because they have not had to go to school and they have not had the opportunity to I am not saying it in a bad way but according to the statistics then you have because that's where you can place them then you have the unemployed the unemployed are those who are meant to have been having had employment because they went to school they got a degree they got the skills but they don't have a job so those are your unemployed so 60% of these unemployed people who are the students as as vision 2030 youth have a program which we are partnering with various universities in this country to raise the consciousness of these students in the university today so that they can then start appreciating entrepreneurship say if you are a lawyer the basic need to start a company in Kenya is a business name like if you can have the business name act is the most basic form of a company which you can start yourself so you can even start a paraligo company while you are still in school because even students do paraligo services why because they need to build an experience so that by the time they are deciding to have their own law firm or perhaps become a partner in a law firm they have to show how they have applied their skill in a workplace I love the direction that we are taking in this particular conversation here because now you are bringing in the youth aspect of it and I love the fact that what we are saying that as a country we must move on we must move on what do you think is what is your position in regards to now the youth themselves they need to start getting those jobs they need to start applying going for those interviews but there is this perception that is still there that you know what still the elections are still ongoing there is this other perception and I was interacting with a few last week you were telling me that they cannot move on with their lives because they are either too excited about the present elect or to be disappointed about the petition which way for the youth youth I speak to you personally and call upon you to listen to yourself every young person in this country has a need one what are those basic needs young person who is above 21, 25 probably is living on their own they have to pay rent those same youth in that house they are living in probably have a young family they have to feed their family they have to cloth their family those same youth they are in order to cloth or feed their family they need energy, electricity they need gas they need kerosene even just to leave the house and go to the streets that youth needs fair that youth needs transport money so I believe youth need to wake up this is a wake up call let us take advantage of this opportunity we have just come from a difficult part of COVID-19 most of the young people's businesses because young people hardly save young people hardly have savings because they leave hand to mouth many countries in the world that have succeeded were not built by the old generation they were built by young people who decided to make a choice and that choice you've already made politically it's out of your hands but the choice that remains in your hands is you need to feed your family you need to cloth yourself so find out and figure out and not reinvent in the wheel getting into entrepreneurship getting out they are looking for those jobs again engaging in positive peer mentorship not sitting at home lagging watching TV go out there and look for a skill right now there are many tivets under the jubilee government never like any other government before that they built tivets all over the country tivet was a solution that I believe was brought about for example if you all know about the geopolitics I'll be very short with this I'll take you all the way to North America in the 1930s after the first world war North America was like Kenya today Kenya is facing an economic depression agree or don't agree it is a fact 80% 70% of our people live in abject poverty and this is where North America was yes this is where it was back then but I always say my best president of America after Obama who is our Kenyan the best was Franklin D. Roosevelt to me he came up with various programs that changed the America and created employment for the youth created creative economy like Hollywood created an


Do you know why there are two rotors in any helicopter? This is to conserve the angular momentum of the helicopter. According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, in the absence of an external dog, the angular momentum of any object stays constant. The lift for the helicopter can be generated by a single rotor as well, but in that case, the helicopter body would start spinning in the opposite direction to conserve the angular momentum which was zero initially. The rotation of the second rotor balances the angular momentum generated by the first and thus, the helicopter stays stable. Food for thought for you. Can the angular momentum of the helicopter be conserved by using three rotors instead of two?
