Hello David Digger Hernandez here, and you are watching eTV interviews here on the encounter TV network Well my guest today you all know him Steven Moctezuma my good friend. Good to see you, bro. How are you? Very well, we are here quite often. Yeah, we are no stranger here It's always fun though just as much as I am But today's a little different because we're talking about your new single now This is your first original single worship song that you're releasing on a This this scale anyway with all the different stores and iTunes and I'm sure we'll provide links But just tell us a little about the song Yeah, so the song is called the Holy Spirit and I kind of I wanted to write a song devoted to the Holy Spirit And so this is kind of a my interpretation of who the Holy Spirit is to me and also from the Bible So what's interesting is we had talked about is that very rarely do we see people writing songs to the Holy Spirit? So there are songs about the Holy Spirit and then there are even fewer songs to the Holy Spirit But you really decided to write this one to the Holy Spirit. Why is that? Well? Again pretty much what you said there I've noticed pretty much if you look at all the worship songs nowadays They're to Jesus to God and obviously the Holy Spirit, but singing to the Holy Spirit Like like you said those are kind of far and few so that's what I kind of wanted to do is write a song Exclusively about who the Holy Spirit is to me and and it's not that we said that we don't think that you know Obviously father son Holy Spirit, they're all one But so few people honor the Holy Spirit like they should nowadays. Yeah, yeah, and I and I think that's something that I Really hope people will kind of get through the song is the realization that without the Holy Spirit We would really have no connection with the father and and and everything we do I mean everything relies on the Holy Spirit. He was brought here for us So and your love for the Holy Spirit inspired the lyrics. Yes. Yeah talking about the lyrics. So the lyrics Originally they were different But I sat down with you and with a couple of my buddies and we kind of just I'll share the story of when we went to the beach So we ended up at the local beach over here where we live and I wanted to get inspired So how many guys know inspiration always happens for some reason when you're at the beach It's great. You love the ocean. So the ocean the wind. It's beautiful. So we sat down and we just kind of thought You know, what could we write that could really be different than anything I've ever heard, you know So I took inspiration from the ocean took inspiration from even the simplest thing as the breeze blowing on In in the trees and in the grass. So little things like that kind of brought this song together So and so you actually wrote about the Holy Spirit in Genesis Mm-hmm and in the book of Acts. Yes, they talked about how he was influential in both of those areas. Yeah, so I Really wanted to bring it back to where we find the Holy Spirit in the Bible and In the beginning in the book of Genesis it talks that that he he brooded over the earth You know, he was there in the beginning of time and God breathed his breath Which we interpret as the Holy Spirit over everything that we know, which in turn created everything we know So that was the beginning of it and I finished the song we jump over to Acts and Just the upper room movement in the upper room experience, which is something that is awesome because I Always think oftentimes when I'm leading worship. I want to make sure that I bring the Holy Spirit Aware make him aware, you know while we're worshiping so that's kind of what the song is is it goes? Yeah, it goes from Genesis and then jumps to Acts and finishes with an internal Affirmation I really appreciate that and I'm sure our viewers all know your worship style and the songs you do But I really like what you said you were basically saying that you want the people to be aware of the Holy Spirit Yeah, yeah, so there's a there's a part in the song and I think you all know it's kind of the big culmination of the song and How many guys out there know that what we want is the Holy Spirit to Not come down because we know he's already dwelling with us But just our awareness of him and Surrendering everything we have to him and allowing him to move throughout whatever we do So that's kind of like the really big inspiration part of mice the song and that's another thing I like that because I've heard the song several times and one of the things I like about it is that You really you really paid very close attention to the fine details of the theology of the Holy Spirit the new mythology And so I appreciate that about your music now. Tell us about the give us a story about how it all came about well Me and David or Diga, we were kind of just it actually came about it's a funny story It came about I was in his living room and I was really kind of you know in a moment of just writing and inspiration and I Just was like man We got to write a song about the Holy Spirit and we could I could have written any other song about anything else But I felt in my heart that this song needed to be out and so right then in there I just got a couple chords together that I really love and enjoy to play and just kind of put them together And and I got the music down first and then that's when I started working on the lyrics and looking through the Bible figuring out where I could go with You know the song and what direction because I mean when you're writing a song you can take it any direction It's it's endless, but I wanted to make sure that the focus was the awareness of the Holy Spirit And it really shows in the song even when I'm listening to it It does it makes me as I'm singing it and makes me aware of the Holy Spirit and I'm I'm singing it right to him And there's something there's one part in there and you were talking about kind of like the climax of the song where I'm singing it to him and I was in my car that it just singing it to him and I could fill his presence in the car with me And I think that's the key like you said he's already with us But when we become aware of him then we begin to sense him Yeah, and so I think this song really brings people into an awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit So excellent job on it now. Thank you. Thank you. So this is it. It's out your first single. What about the future albums coming? Oh, there's definitely a lot of many things many things too many to think of at the moment but there's a lot of things that we're working on as a team and Internally working on and getting inspiration out of everything we do so look forward to 2018 and beyond and seeing what we can come up and yeah, definitely CDs and albums and are my friend Well, thank you for doing this. Thank you so much. Thank you Awesome song.

So love you guys until next time remember Nothing is impossible with God


Welcome to the Pyramid Insider. I'm Tyler Patner. Today we got a little bit of a different review for you guys. We're taking a look at a brand new line of cases. I'm totally kidding. The Air Arms S510 TDR in 22 caliber. So the 510 TDR came out very late last year in 2017. We got our first look at it at Shacho 2018 and they're finally here ready to shoot. 22 caliber is what we have here to test today and let's run it down. As far as what's in the case here, you do have your manual of course. You got some Allen keys. It looks like they're your traditional fill probe which is threaded to 1-8th BSPP. So you're gonna want to make sure you get a quick disconnect adapter if your fill setup requires it. Let's see. Looking through so we have our buttstock which is a walnut variety and looks like it has one of our magazines in there. It comes with two and it does have this slotting here that you can put both magazines or a third spare if you want to pick one up into that rear butt stock so that you can keep it on you at all times which is really nice. Got a cut out here for the pellets and of course there we go the meat and potatoes of this the 510 TDR action. So basically in a pistol form I guess if you wanted to call it that. Let's get it all set up here for you guys and go into some detail. So as we go ahead and get this put together here guys one of the things you'll obviously notice the TDR the 410 TDR which was a bolt action the 510's a side lever action used to come in like kind of a carrying case so now they put it in this hard case. I prefer the hard case. I know a lot of folks out there preferred the softer case that had the backpack straps. Putting the buttstock on here really simple you're just going to go ahead line it up with these holes here in the back you have a three prong system you'll line that up nice and easy you go ahead push it in and then we're just going to simply screw it in right at the back here and you can see that gap closing it's really easy to do this takes under a minute to put it all together actually I'd say probably 30 seconds and we are all set you make sure that's hand tight and you are good to go you got a 40 roughly 40 inch six pound hunting package that is a really easy very light very convenient to use let's run down some of the specs you're starting at the front so one of the big updates the 410 version of this gun was unshrouded unsuppressed we now have a full shroud with the Q-Tec moderator on the end should keep things very very quiet having shot like that's 510 Ultimate Sporter that has the Q-Tec already on it this is should be a very quiet setup and hopefully putting out about around 30 foot pounds with some heavy pellets in this 22 caliber down below we do have about a hundred and fifty CC cylinder here with a screw-off end cap that exposes your fill port and this is the standard air arms fill system again that little fill adapter comes with it you do need to get your quick disconnect but just so you can see how it works you go ahead slide that on you'll line up the hole in the end of the fill cap there with that T fitting and then you turn it like that keeps it locked on it's never gonna fly off or come off or come out like a fill probe might on you so that is a really really nice feature and again you got that dust cap there to keep things safe and secure when you don't have it out and ready to fill on the bottom of the stock here you'll notice we do have a fore-end accessory rail we have a Harris bipod adapter that comes with a little swivel stud you can throw that in there and then hook up your like UTG bipod or something like that and then you of course have a fill pressure gauge on the bottom that reads in bar this is a 200 bars the 2,900 psi fill rifle and again should yield about 30 shots roughly a 30 foot pounds on high power and speaking of the power we do have a power adjuster transfer port adjuster here which yep they sure did they updated it to that five-setting system so you have those five discernible clicks as you go ahead and adjust it and you can see you got the plus back towards you right there and then you got one two three four so five total settings that's going to give us probably the ability to do everything for shooting in the basement during the winter all the way to going up to that 30 foot pound mark and going after some small game so talking a little bit more about the furniture on this gun we do have some walnut wood here both for the forestock and the cheek piece you got some nice stippling on the grip the gun looks fantastic in my opinion especially with the shroud set up I really like the look of that fixed suppressor on the end there and again I mentioned it earlier you do have the slots that will hold your magazines I have one in the breach here but the second one just fits nice and snug up in there under spring tension very easy to work with it just sits right like that so it's ready to go when you need it at the back we do have an adjustable butt plate you got a screw right in the back there that you go ahead loosen you can slide that up and down it is not adjustable for length of pull though so that is something to keep in mind probably not the best choice for junior shooters does have a very full length of pull and again you have your tightening screw here at the back that tightens the whole system together bear in mind that you can't run this as a pistol because you do need this three-prong adapter in the back to keep tension on your hammer spring setup so that when you cock it it has something to push against and speaking of cocking it we do have a side lever system as I alluded to earlier it used to be a bolt now it's a side lever so a lot smoother probably going to be a lot faster for you guys at home that need to get that quick follow-up shot so we just pull it back nice and easy to cock it pull out our magazine of course 10 round magazines which are standard for air arms and to decock it if we do want to you go ahead and you pull the trigger as you hold the bolt all good to go very easy to do and of course we have our standard safety that is on the trigger I'm not a huge fan of this but Air Arms does it on all their guns and it certainly does work you put it on safe and it's not going anywhere I would just prefer it to be anywhere but the trigger for myself but other than that this gun has all the hallmarks of the rest of the Air Arms line just with some updates from the 410 version that we used to see got an 11 millimeter dovetail rail on top we have a hawk vantage 4 to 12 by 40 scope on it and we are going to head out to the range get some cronny numbers throw some lead down range see how accurate it is and then we'll come back and wrap it up let's head out all right guys so looking at these accuracy results of course we tested you know the full battery of pellets I think it was like 12 pellets or something that went through this gun and the two best by far the 18 grain jsp's and the Air Arms 16 grains basically the jsp 15.89s they're a little bit different but they also shot pretty well not quite as good as the Air Arms did but a 0.45 inch group and a 0.43 inch group 10 shots half inch accuracy at 45 yards absolutely fantastic out of the 510 TDR with both the 18s and the 16 grain pellets doing so well at 45 yards from an accuracy perspective we decided to go ahead and chronograph both what you're seeing with those Air Arms 16 grain pellets is a pretty decent spread overall you know 71 feet per second is a pretty big extreme spread but the standard deviation from shot to shot isn't too bad what you're really looking for though right around 170 bar down to about 130 or so is really your sweet spot of shots where we're getting a good velocity and nice consistent results from shot to shot and we see the same thing with the jsp jumbo 18 grains as well a little bit bigger spread overall but you get that extra foot pound out of it you know 29 and 30 foot pounds respectively certainly nothing to sneeze at from a power perspective so on high power this gun is gonna deliver plenty of shots at a high power to do whatever you guys want to do from a small game hunting perspective alright guys obviously the 510 TDR takedown rifle has a lot of accuracy sub half inch groups of 45 yards nothing to mess around with at 30 foot pounds absolutely fantastic like two things I didn't hit on actually obviously it's a low through all the barrel is all the air arm stuff is and actually looking at the gun and thinking about it this is fully ambidextrous so if you're a lefty you can get down on this no problem obviously the side lever can't be swapped but that's not really a big deal I don't think at a most lefties out there but you got a lot of nice upgrades on this over the 410 TDR obviously the quiet factor is huge on this one as well as that five step power adjuster from the free form power adjuster that was there before and the side lever of course as well and then come in with a hard case that's something I like you know I throw it in the back of the truck and you're good to go this gun takes down or gets put back together in like 30 seconds so it's right there at your fingertips overall very very nice offering from Air Arms here to start 2018 off two things I would like to see change going forward I would love to see a quick disconnect fitting here instead of the T bar style fitting that they use and I would love to see that safety mechanism get taken off of the trigger blade that's just me though other than that guys obviously perform fantastically and definitely one if you are a small game hunter this is one you're gonna want to look at in 2018 and going forward for the insider guys I'm Tyler Patner don't forget to subscribe like and comment down below we'll see you guys at the next one thanks


Open space. Open space technology is a meeting format designed for self-organization, inclusivity and emergent agendas. Harrison Owen is the man associated with the origination of it and he states that it's most useful in the environments that contain high levels of complexity, diversity of people and potential solutions, conflict either real or potential and urgency. In an open space meeting the agenda is emergent so it's impossible to know exactly what's going to be addressed during the meeting. It's kind of the point. However the process is designed to ensure that the issues that are most important to the people attending will be included in the agenda and the issues raised will be addressed by the participants best capable of getting something done about them and the most important ideas, recommendations, discussions etc and next steps will be documented. I've personally been involved in open space sessions of over a thousand people and it's been documented in groups of over two thousand people. It's pretty simple and it's comprised of just four principles and one law. The principles are number one whoever comes are the right people. Basically the people who care will turn up. Number two whenever it starts is the right time. As Owen says spirit and creativity do not run on the clock. Number three whatever happens is the only thing that could have and be prepared to be surprised. Number four when it's over it's over within this session. The idea there is do the work not and the one law of open space is called the law of two feet. The idea there is that if at any time during our time together you find yourself in any situation where you're neither learning nor contributing use your two feet and go somewhere else. At the beginning of an open space meeting the participants sit in a circle and a facilitator usually states the overall theme or purpose and then we invite participants to propose topics for discussion anything that interests them. When they do that they then find a place in the marketplace for that topic. If someone posts a topic they're expected to have the passion to be responsible enough to start the discussion on it. That person's also expected to make sure that a report of the discussion is done and posted usually on a wall so that any participant can access the content of the discussion even if they don't go to that particular session. Once a number of topics have been posted all the marketplace has been filled participants are invited to sign up to topics they're interested in. Those that go ahead go ahead those that don't have enough interest simply don't. Large scale participatory meeting formats like open space technology model the values and principles of the agile manifesto they encourage emergence collaboration and communication therefore organizations that are looking to scale an agile culture should find great value in meetings like this and world can fit.


I'm back! So someone talked a two week break from the social media and my hamster's got an Instagram. Oh that's with new, I got a hamster. Anyway, hey guys, what's going on? Welcome, hello, hi. It's been a good two weeks since I was here, mainly because I've moved flat. Me and Becca moved into our own flat and I've been building this little background up. I started a new medication. Oh, lots happened. But anyway, I'm going to be in the update video that is going to come later on in the book. First off, let's do this one. This video is an open letter to my younger self. I know right now things are terrifying. I need to understand what's happening, but I want you to know things will get better. It's going to take time and you've got a rocky road ahead. And I know it's where you really want to go, but don't, because right around the corner you're going to meet the love you're like. The shoulder blades are not going to be easy. In fact, you're going to face and you wouldn't believe and you make mistakes, a lot of mistakes. I'm not going to say pretend things are just going to fall into play because you've got a steep, steep hill climbing and a body of all things are going to happen. You're going to have things thrown at you that you never thought you'd have thrown your way. I signed for recording this. And as I wrote this, I'm no longer in contact with my mom. And I have next to nothing when it comes to my motivation. Well, that just comes with depression. There's going to be some very traumatising things coming. I wouldn't want anyone to go through now. And I think how hard I'm believing sometimes all the stuff that's actually happened to me is real.  You need to try yourself on being open, being honest and not really caring about what I mean is you can't please everybody.  I try to please everybody. Even I know it's not possible. The road you've got ahead of you is traumatising. Honestly, horrifying. In 2018, when you're 20, you're going to be attacked 20, you're going to have something thrown at you that not many people go through. And the honesty to today, you still have issues processing. In 2018, the 16th of June, 16th of June, 2018, is the day that you get attacked by police. And there's no words I can say that would ever make that easy. You've got sectioned straight after the attack and the month later, you took merely successfully end your overnight. In that moment, I wanted to give up. I genuinely believed every hope I'd ever had in my life had been taken away from me. I believed that I was doomed. I didn't think I could get back up from everything that happened, but I did. It's taken a lot of work. And when I'm writing this, I still take medication. I'm always going to take medication. I've been told that. There's a lot of things I come to terms with. When I was 17, when I was 17, you get diagnosed with aggressive arthritis. And me, you get a 20 now. Three years later, the pain is almost unbearable. I'm not going to say every time that it's fine, because it's 2019. You're faced with something that you didn't believe was ever going to happen.  And even now, you can't process it. You can't...  You miss them so much. Losing anyone is an emotional journey that I wouldn't want to wish on anyone. It's hard. It's long and, well, complicated. Losing someone to suicide and losing someone to natural causes are two very different things. Both things that I've worked. When I was 17, I witnessed two girls in a year. And that was my ex and my granddad, my great-granddad, who died on his 8th heart heart attack in resource in Warsaw, through himself in front of a train. And that is something I'll never get my head around or come to terms with that. I just want you to know that everything you're about to go through is not your fault. You're never asked for it. And no matter how many times people try to spin the story and make it out to your bad person, when you're not, it will get easier. And there are always people out there who care. Avoid a few people on social media that you face pictures. The main message of this is you really can overcome anything you can work through. Cobra things.  And that's what matters. Okay, so real draw. Everything I just wrote was something that if I had been told about as a kid, or when I was 13, 14, I wouldn't believe it. And be like, there's no way that's gonna happen to me. The truth is, things happen that are out of your control and there's only so much you can do and one of the most important things for me. I'm not losing sight of wanting to be well. I had a lot of slip-ups in that year. But at this current moment in time I have just started a stabilizer. I've moved in with my girlfriend. I'm going into my last year at uni and I'm happy. But the thing that has been worse recently is my anxiety. My anxiety has been horrific. I literally have had no motivation to even film a video. And nobody knows this but I'm actually not working at the minute anymore and there's nothing more to it really. I'm not working at the moment and I haven't been for the last week. Mainly in this last week I looked like I had removed. It's been I'm not going from being employed to I haven't got a job but then you take a step back and look at what's changed. I worked for on behalf of Test and Trace NHS and the press it gets isn't even the half of it.  And I can say that because I work for Rainbow. I wanted to sit on this because I had a plan and obviously a lot has been going on recently. It's not really that common that I take a long break of YouTube because I find making videos quite therapeutic actually. And what I wouldn't take from this is that even though you don't know what's going to happen around the corner or you don't know what the future holds and all the outcomes are going to be. Whether you've been dragged to a court you've been impatient not getting any treatment or not getting support there is always hope. There's always the stuff you can do and you can work on that. The last week I've been watching two YouTubers in particular. Both of them are original speakers and I found I didn't mention the third one but I'm actually now four months out of hospital which is that's four months since I turned down my life that's four months since I saw harm. Not huge for me that is massive and I didn't think I'd ever get to that point I didn't even think I was going to live to be 20 or 22 I look back and I'm like I'm literally 22 now and the amount of things I've been through is a lot. I've always always always said this to myself and I don't have as bad as other people. I don't like other people do how it works but that doesn't take away from what I'm going through and that's what I've really had to kind of slap myself with and well here I am but I am back on YouTube and I want to say thank you for supporting me while I've been away and yeah I'm here and I've moved flat so that's something and I got hamster, that's also got something I love my little hamster my name was Zary then, little nibbles nibble nibble when I got him out I was like little nibble nibble he's so cute I got hamster, I'm happy I moved flat and I'm no longer working but everything that was for the best because I was getting really exhausted by it and not for the reasons people think it wasn't a very demanding job it was emotional at times and if you have any questions about anything that I've said in this video or video ideas or just generalised questions ask me in the comments and I'll answer but yeah, thank you for being there while I've been away, it's been it's been nice reading all the comments actually and I do get to say every often because most people know that I get trolled unbelievably I can't really talk too much about that actually at the minute thinking on that I am going to die my hair tonight as well hello again that's all I got for this video if you are new if you're new, make sure you hit the subscribe button and during the file I'm going to go because I've been outtrying for like 5 minutes stay safe and stay strong and I'll see you guys tomorrow with a new video bye


moving on ladies and gentlemen it is time for the next panel discussion and the topic at hand is decoding ESG please welcome our panelists thank you for being here my dear panelists and their audience after a very very hardcore communication sessions two sessions we are now getting into something which is more business so please take a deep breath before we dive into decoding what does ESG stand for environment social and governance and how is how does that impact our lives how does that impact our businesses so I you've met the pandas I'll be very brief in my introductions I'll be very brief in my comments and jump straight into this briefly businesses are not isolated entities they function within communities they function within a framework of law they use up a lot of natural resources this is really what ESG is all about the E stands for environmental criteria like energy waste and the consequences on the planet of using these or not and not disposing of some it encompasses carbon emissions and climate change social refers to the relationship that your organization has with reputation it maintains with people and existing institutions labor relations diversity equity and infusion the three very strong words which we keep hearing about these days governance is the internal system of practices protocols and procedures that a company adopts and employs in order to govern itself and make effective decisive decisions and meet the needs of internal and external stakeholders we talk about stakeholders we normally think about external stakeholders we don't think so much about internal stakeholders but today an internal stakeholders as important as an external stakeholder if you put all these three words together it really just stands for responsible sustainable business which is good for the planet people and delivers profit so I will now go straight to my panelists I'll start with Sonal Sonal is head of popcorn management stainless and has been a practitioner for several years so I will ask her to talk about her experiences thank you Gayathri before I start off on ESG I'm so happy to sit in a panel because I come from manufacturing which where I can see women in the panel and even beyond that it's a great feeling to come from a 5% women industry to a 50% women industry yes so talking of ESG you know now 50% of the media queries I receive I'm from corporate communication so answering to media queries is a part main part of our KRA is now directed towards ESG so that is a clear indication on how the reputation compass is now pointing towards ESG as one of the main pillars drivers of corporate reputation and for people in the practice on the corporate side there is a discernible shift and the shift has been decadal you know pre-91 when I used to you know when I used to read about my company's narratives back then it used to be how Swadeshi the company is how it is rooted in the you know in in the in the country's soil post 91 it was all about reforms and your Kpex and your investments and how you are in line with the Narsimhan Rao government of driving more and more profitability then came the turn of the century and the age of internet and internet became your reputation pillar and how digitization and MIS was driving your business then after that 2010 onwards and 14 is when CSR became compulsory the 2% net profit CSR became the buzzword and it is only off late in the last few years that we have seen ESG as a far more mature a far more expansive version of CSR expansive because CSR only accounted for the social part of the business whereas environmental and governance parts were not as covered in CSR as they are covered in ESG however there is nothing absolutely brand new in ESG from the standpoint of corporate communications you know all these communications even if you take the governance compliance you know ways to wealth the training part the diversity part social inclusion part everything was there but it was scattered it was in the BRR report it wasn't the waste generation drives it was in the conservation efforts that companies were doing it wasn't a different head it is to the credit of ESG that it has brought everything under one pillar and which is now the reason why corporates like us are running to ESG with all guns blazing and have taken targets to be net zero in the near future big shift for manufacturing. Thank you so much Sonal Sunil can I ask you to make your opening remarks? Well I mean you know when one looks at the whole question of ESG then the form and the shape which ESG has taken today there is a long history it all started with philanthropy and then you know a lot of corporates even in the pre-independent India where doing some philanthropic activity in terms of setting up hospitals setting up you know educational institutions and so and so forth and they used to consider that to be an extension of whatever profit they are earning so give it back to the society but over the years what has happened is that the trust which society had in most of the economic enterprise that trust no longer exists in the sense that it all began with the fact that the civil society or the people in general believe that corporations if they are in existence they are doing good for all not only for themselves so if they are exploiting natural resources then there is nothing no harm I mean in other words they are you know manufacturing something which is for everyone to gain from but very soon when the society at large started realizing that that's not the case if the objective of cooperation is only to maximize the shareholders value then where are other people I mean in the civil society the employees the investors each one of them realize that what is there in it so it is those things which has evolved over a period of time that today the you know apart from the company the civil society is government investors they don't trust companies simply because they are in existence they say that the trust is gone now you will have to show us that whatever you are doing is for the benefit of everyone not only for yourself it is on these aspect that eventually you know the companies also started realizing that if they have to remain in operation remain in existence that they will have to show to the people that they are doing their way so far as environment is concerned they are doing their way so far as social issues are concerned and they are also doing that bit to the investor that their governance is equally important because we have seen in number of cases that wherever you know the governance have not being proper or appropriate the largest of the corporations have collapsed so it is this aspect which have become important and that is what has in a way kind of collapsed into something called ESG and today the corporations do not see ESG as a corporate social responsibility is it is more of a strategic tool where they position and constantly have to communicate to the people at large that so far as environment is concerned we are doing our paper so far as doing good for the society is concerned we are doing our bit and so far as governance is concerned investors can rest assured that we are not you know doing something which will eventually kill the company and they will lose the money so that's the context in which I guess the ESG is positioned today thank you Sunil Smita would you like to speak about the relevance of ESG for startups yes but let me just give you a quick background also on that like much before we get into what is why is it relevant for them so as Sunil Sir just mentioned that there's a long history to ESG he actually stole my punchline there because I was trying to talk about it most people most large most founders that we meet in startup world or otherwise also the enterprises when I say sustainability to them they are not able to think beyond corporate social responsibility or philanthropy and I have to clearly tell them this is exactly not what I'm talking about that is a small part of it that's a comfort zone you very clearly know what numbers to make where to give what to do that's sorted for you right that's all that's been into practice and personally I don't subscribe to the aspect of CSR but because there is so much good work happening under it we just let that go on sustainability is so much more integrated has to be integrated in your business operations we are not talking about giving away free food that's a part of it yes go ahead feel free to do that but we are talking about energy efficiency we're talking about reducing your waste generation we're talking about reducing your water footprint we're talking about equal pay equal opportunity being inclusive not just diverse so and and of course when it comes to startups much like a lot of enterprises they lack awareness on this so it's very difficult to just go to them and pitch for your work I work for Fandoro technologies which is into working building adoption and awareness on sustainability for startups and investors it's a it's a difficult game but then once this fog is clear as to what sustainability means it's like is it even important for us like we poor people cash strapped less on resources and we struggling for resources we're struggling for survival why should we be looking at ESG at all and that is where you have to change the lens and say you are not doing something extra for somebody else what we're going to do here is your own business continuity plan your own risk assessment and risk management we're going to make you more successful and the drive that's actually coming to us for investor for startups to actually adopt these ESG I don't know how many people have heard here but sustainable development goals that's the framework I subscribe to so I people actually adopt these things when they hear these terms and the reason the one of the core factors that's actually driving this into startup world are the investors and the customers much like enterprises founder startups also have the same stakeholders your customers employees your investors regulatory bodies so there are two all of these stakeholders are actually driving ESG to startup founders and startups I do have to say while the push is still lesser but the pace at which things are now changing is so significant that if the startups don't adopt it now it is going to be very difficult for them to you know transform themselves much like the large enterprises find it very difficult so so just to decode ESG for startups what we talk about is when we're talking environment we are more focused on your supplier sustainability your environmental footprint across your value chain from sourcing to distribution so who are you you know who are your suppliers what kind of emissions are they making what kind of emissions you are making if it is logistics packaging whatever what kind of waste you are generating how are you recycling reusing reducing how is your e-waste being refi I'm sorry filing for your e-waste recycled what is your quantity per year so all of those and from the social side one of the most important asset for a startup is its talent so if they don't have the right people they are never going to succeed and the focus on ESG from a social angle actually helps them build those make make a more in inclusive and equitable I would say startup or organization to actually make their employees stick around more from a governance perspective of course the board evaluation has become so so significant why is somebody sitting on your board earlier nobody cared now it is if they're not bringing anything to the table why are they on your board why are you even paying them what's the skill set they have do you have somebody who looks into ENS the environment and social if you don't have anybody doing that then you need to add add somebody and the whole conversation that I I'll just conclude this guy three with is when we start talking to startups we go with the same question that we go to enterprises also sometimes what is your purpose if as a business you don't have a purpose and you're not able to marry that purpose to the ESG then the whole process is going to fail because purpose is your offense you go and communicate that to the whole world this is why we exist if we didn't exist at this would be missing from the world and ESG is your defense then you start proving this sorry thank you thanks I think it's good to be in this august gathering I'm really glad that I was invited to this place hello yeah yeah thanks I think it's great to be in this august gathering here and a wonderful being on this panel after hearing my estimate panelist I will try to avoid saying more of the same and let me share some media point of view which may interest some of my young friends here which is like how to make age stories break into the newsroom which is more probably from an operational point of which may be useful you see the USP of ESG's data what Mr. Sinha referred to this there's a diminishing of trust overall it's not only incorporates this overall in media also what the matter and probably ESG unintended benefit of ESG could be that it could help us to reclaim that trust because all about data at the end of the day that I means a lot but that I need self doesn't mean sufficiently everything actually sort and a bite self every analyst is sitting on gigabytes of data but here she does not make it to media because they're not able to analyze it they don't analyze it they don't package it properly they don't do it an interesting kind of packaging and they don't really reach it out to the media so that is where they don't make it usable kind of data they have a package interestingly it can break into news media a package into report it becomes I even a news event so those are very simple kind of things which make it to help it to make it to media now communicating data itself which is analyzed also could be supported with some compelling storytelling which of course all agencies are doing wonderfully well here and along with it of course then reaching out to the media to the right kind of people for example let me take the example of EHE reports it was a very humbly packaged report generally lots of effort and time and resources go into it but it doesn't get the kind of respect that is due to it it's very routinely routinely passed on by peer agencies to media and what does media do media does what it is best at ignoring it routinely actually and why does it do so because media doesn't have the resources to really analyze it doesn't have the skill sets it doesn't have the time it's very resource intensive and calling out stories from EHE reports is a difficult kind of a challenge for them that is why an opportunity arise for the PR agencies essentially because one all companies who bring out EHE reports and EHE teams for domain experts subject matter experts they're the best to analyze the data probably also flag stories there and apart from that there are some of the big PR agencies here who themselves have EHE teams internally so they will equip to really analyze it make it usable by media media doesn't have the EHE expertise at all I mean let's be clear about it they have beats but EHE is something which they are learning along with other beats what's happening yeah thank you thank you Gayatri and and then Qdos to Gayatri and the the organizers who to have actually you know put together such a diverse panel because which in its true sense you know reflects the the the topic of the session and to decode ESG and to have you know the the communication you know a world the community the colleagues from the communication world in the room drives home the point that ESG is a journey where no one should be left behind and that gives a you know an important you know onus for you know colleagues in the in the room from the you know from the communication communication background the point that Rajiv Ji made is an important point about you know building narratives and a couple of you know points that I would you know highlight which which should be you know important in our in our minds also you know picking up from some of the points you know for example trust that synergy was mentioning or you know what what Sonal Ji was talking about you know net zero for a for a steel industry you know come to think of it you know you you prod Sonal Ji and she would you know start talking about you know why you know deep decarbonization would be you know so much so much required for the Indian steel sector given that you know the demand is is growing at such a rapid pace which is where I I would believe that ESG becomes an important you know constituent for this growth narrative if we if we you know go back to you know the cover decisions of the of the the Sharma shake you know climate annual conference of you know by by the United Nations there it is very very clear that you know the the new kinds of investments the new manufacturing you know capacity that their country like India would need to build would need new kind of you know financing and this financing this the way in which the you know the capital markets are today you know analyzing their investments pretty much you know like the the startup ecosystem you know example that you heard of are today considering the ESG framework and the role of the of the communication team to you know to translate you know complex data into into the ESG ESG framework would be a very critical you know element for us to look at you know how the you know the the the the connections are made and you know the narrative is built without you know leaving out the leaving out the details it has been 10 years from today where you know the security exchange board of India had mandated you know the top hundred listed companies to you know publish business responsibility report and we have had been an integral part of you know the the national voluntary guidelines which was the foundation for you know the the business responsibility report today the BRS are you know the framework that you see and if you should and I would urge the the communication you know you know colleagues to also keep a you know a sharp eye on the international sustainability standards board in Sharma Sheikh the ISSB you know celebrated the their second birthday and this is a framework that would bring in you know consist consistent information and which is where you know the exposure for the the communication world to this consistent framework would bring a sea change which which actually will make you know Sena Sahab's or you know Sonal Ji's work a lot more a lot more easier so that you know agencies like you know Rajiv Ji and we kind of you know can bring together more stakeholders thank you Haroop my next question is actually addressed to both Senaji and Sonal both of you look at let's look at reputational risk corporate reputations you build corporate reputations in one way we build it with you and Senaji builds it in a different way and in a more business integrated way so I just really like you to talk about what is the impact that ELG has on reputational risk so the fact that now the questions are coming on so recently in fact the before yesterday I had a question from business standard how much are customers willing to pay extra for my stainless steel products if I guarantee that it is green in process and it's making and the answer is zero so currently the dialogue that's happening on ESG and it is so pertinent but if you go out in the market with your green product and you expect it to give you a premium that's not the case right now however that is the domestic scene internationally you can also we believe claim a premium but the reputational risks are correspondingly much higher so you cannot be seen as a corporate yes yes irrespective of you know the fact that the market is not going to pay you anything extra for your green steel you'd have to be process oriented in a way that within a few years you are targeting net zero all he quoted the BR SR reports in fact I've been I wasn't a PSU for almost 10 years and half of my work was only compliance communication so all of these compliance communications you would take you know half of my working hours and it was so important for the government the back then now what was important for government back then has become important for media today and it is so important that even in interviews you know I was recently two years a year ago I was at IMC interviewing someone and I saw an IMC professor here and one of the girls asked me what are you doing for eradicating waste you know I know that steel industry has water discharge or effluent discharge what are you doing to contain it and it was impressive so you can imagine what is the amount of reputational risk or advantage that you can gain from ESG effort actually nowadays you see a lot of the younger generation voting with their wallets they don't buy environmentally harmful products and so on and so forth yes yes so the talent retention that my fellow panelists they don't want to work for companies which are not compliant yes they want you to they want to know about what are the targets that you're choosing what it was is the environmental goal that you're running with so profit alone is no longer a fancy thing and that is why I talked about the decadal shift ESG and all kinds of philanthropic extra profitability work is now in vogue and you have to be seen with a as a company with a conscience and there has to be proof of the pudding just talking is not going to cook rice now well certainly I mean I'll do that but before that let me just say something about ESG you know I mean as I said it evolved more as a philanthropy and so and so forth but today when I look at ESG now each of these components environment social and governments each of these components are strategic and very important for the company now if they if a particular company focuses on environmental issues means if they become more energy efficient more resource efficient if they minimize their wastage etc it all translates into higher profit so it's not just that by focusing on environmental issues you are doing something good in general all of that can actually translate into a meaningful exercise for you which ultimately shows up your bottom line similarly look at the social aspect if you are focusing on the social issues then it does it's not only a reputational I mean like you know student when in IMC asking are you a zero-waste company so that again is something reputational but otherwise also I'm saying when you are vying for customers we are no longer in an era where our markets are protected there is a you know a severe competition there are number of players for the same product and if you are vying for customers so if you provide you know something to them whereby they perceive you that apart from doing your business you are also taking care of various issues whether it relates to the labor whether it relates to employee compensation whether it relates to employees well-being or whether you you know take up some activities which you know helps people living in and around your factory area all of them actually help you in terms of you know not only grabbing the attention of the customer but actually translating them into your customer so all of this again plows back to your profitability your top line and so on and finally the customer you know the governance issue even the governance issue is important because say for example the startups you know for many startups when they go for you know a round of raising investment many of the investors would like to know that you know do you have a strategy to protect the company from the risk which arises because of the issues now if you are able to articulate that if you have a strategy in and around that then probably investors would get more interested and you will be able to mobilize funds far easier than otherwise or maybe you will be able to mobilize funds at a much cheaper rate of interest or a much cheaper cost than what you will otherwise so ESG if you look at from that perspective is a pure business strategy it is no longer philanthropic it is a pure business strategy if you integrate it into your operation it is a win-win for you as well as for your customer investor everyone else now coming to the question of credit rating now credit rating typically is about debt products it's not about the equity so debt products means that whatever loan you raise either through the banking channel or through the capital market that is what gets rated and the way it has evolved that ESG issues or ESG risk do not play out in the near term they play out over the medium to long term and debt instruments typically are not very long-term instruments they are three or five or ten years so till now it was not something which was very much getting factored into the credit rating analysis but increasingly as we know that the vulnerability has started increasing because of the climate challenges etc etc now most of the rating agencies have started looking at it and also the regulator which is Sebi has come out with a framework where it wants the credit rating agencies to incorporate this particular risk aspect into their analysis so we are incorporating that into our rating analysis and wherever we find that this is one of the key rating driver for the credit rating we mentioned that and wherever it is not we certainly mention it in our press thank you Smita would you like to take up what you originally were to talk about ESG and startups why should they talk about it why should they get into it right at the start yes see like us again Sunil sir just told the starting line on this topic too investors are definitely driving it there are quite a few LPs the limited partners who have when they are giving 200 crores to a VC 400 crore to another VC so let's say there is one big LP who's funded 10 venture capitalists and put their foot down that if you don't have an ESG report you are not allowed to invest now we are not talking about investments series see and about we are talking about as simple as even angel round or series A and they put their foot down that if the VCs don't get the ESG due diligence done you're not going to give the money so that's one you know key driver which is pushing this trend in the startups which are very early in their stages still looking at ESG however if you look at it from some other stakeholders like customers you have EU taxonomy SFDR all in Europe you have the security exchanges in US which is putting their foot down on lot of these regulations around climate and ESG in India we have our say be an MCA working towards BRSR and national guidelines for responsible business conduct now this BRSR while I think mr. Malik was mentioning about it we started in 2011 with hundred companies today it is top thousand companies but a very interesting thing that not many people might have read or if they didn't pay attention to is a statement which says in a time frame of potentially five years we are looking to expand this to all businesses so if we don't want that includes listed and unlisted we don't know they have said all that could as that could be simply as if you're registered as a business you have to follow it so once that clarity comes in what all means we don't want the situation that happened in Europe that the moment you know a lot of lead time was given to businesses to adopt ESG and they still did not prepare and suddenly overnight thousands of businesses were under penalties for not following it not disclosing it so startups are I mean ESG is relevant for them for of course getting opening more investment gates more customers if they want to work with Western companies more talent acquisition because employees want to see the business with purpose I think it just overall does a lot of investor safeguard also as simple as not having a fire NOC which looks very simple that you are building the work where you're not working does not have a fire NOC okay when we do ESG due diligence for startups we put our foot down if you don't have it we are not going to give a clearance why is that because if your assets are burnt down the investor loses the money so we are playing for the investors so we lot of these things are driving quite a significant awareness and adoption essentially it's an awareness of the risk of operating in a environment which is so uncertain from a climate social social and governance perspective that you're looking at putting these risk management beautifully said I'll just take one minute to also highlight you thanks for adding governance to this world because if governance is not there then it doesn't matter how good you are doing on environment on social on anything if you're not having a trustworthy transparent business then you might as well just forget rest of the things yeah thank you so Rajeev my next question is to you how to how does media look at a company which is considered ESG compliant versus one which is not I mean let's just say that ultimately it's the media which is the arbiter of good companies versus bad companies in a certain way in terms of perception so let's hear it from you I don't think those factors play at in media whether it's a good company or a bad company it's a compliance to be done that is the present media would apply generally so if they are doing the compliance and which is generally taken by reports there's not lots of investigation happening anywhere from the media's point of view but whatever stories are happening there will be fear and even for which are happening same metals segment particularly so those are happening but overall it's taken as there is a report by an expert which could be a consultancy generally so that's taken at face value so it's a very pretty simple kind of a thing is a story which comes to them and if it is backed by data and is backed by a narrative so it makes its way otherwise I don't see media being an arbiter of it is a good company or a bad company but in terms of if there are any violations which get reported so those are the ones they would I mean at the end of the day for media it's a good story or a bad story now good story is you know violations a good story for media that's what it is and it could be across anything for the matter so that's what goes in here thank you Raji. Arup can I ask you to take us through this whole issue of green washing and how do regulations look at that and how again I'll come back to Sonal and Sunil Ji for how that impacts reputations. Yeah and thank you thank you Gayatri for you know bringing the issue of green washing green washing here. Increasingly we have seen that you know with the the labels ESG labels from you know mutual funds you know from global funds being stripped off because of the you know the enhanced you know scrutiny that happens today on you know the impacts that you know the short-term impacts and the long-term impact that some of these funds you know claim I would you know strongly believe that you know the role of the of the the communication you know colleagues the the role of the you know the brand brand management you know teams becomes very important you know now now think of it you know it is just you know we are just three months away when you know the final community from you know India's G20 presidency would come out and unlike any other G20 presidencies today India has the Sherpa track on finance is looking at you know ESG there is a dedicated you know Sherpa track on energy transitions which is just not looking at you know technology you know transfer you know technology financing and you know and new energy technologies but importantly looking at just transitions and just transition is a you know is a is a concept that you know resonates very well with the the ESG ESG framework and just to define just transitions just transitions is ensuring that when you transit from fossil fuel based economy to a cleaner economy we take everybody alone we don't leave anybody behind so what a rubies talking about is a strategy that India has been very keen on to take all our marginalized and communities along with us when we transit by creating more green jobs and green a greener economy thank you so much so if these are the things which are you know getting at the the highest pedestal and where you know so you know I would argue that you know nobody had you know stopped you know India to imagine what would be you know the the size of the Statue of Unity you know the the Eiffel Tower or the you know the Statue of Liberty was never you know a benchmark that you know I need to you know compete with that or I need to you know build that today India is in a is a different league in the in the global discourse which gives you know a very high degree of responsibility to you know how the the court com the media management you know teams you know view act and you know a progress on the on the ESG ESG side because at this this point of time and you know with the journey be easy I mean not at all you know to decipher you know a financial balance balance sheet we need we needed a century to you now understand you know we just look at earning per share from a balance sheet and we know that you know what is the financial health we now today refer to the credit rating so a triple A plus so you you don't need to you know spend anymore you know time and energy to explain that that gives out the the message so from today where we are now to you know to bring ESG to this you know I'm becoming an uniform language you know the journey would be you know you're super hard you know there would be a huge degree of you know frustration Gayathriji from what we also understand is increasingly ESG will will become a part of the MCA 21 filings and if that happens you know from now until until that point of time and how do we you know you know adopt you know digital digital taxonomy on on ESG would be you know would be a key role without the involvement of the of the communication and the media team you know that won't be that won't be possible and and Gayathriji last it kind of you know these buzzes actually reflect the kind of you know diverse panel that you have put across where your time is running out but the perspectives are you know still to me thank you thank you for saying that a rupee just very just give me two minutes I'll wrap up so we've just got into I'll say we're not even scratch the surface of the subject but unfortunately we've been asked to wrap up but I will ask one final question of Mita and Sonal going forward we see with our clients that speaking of ESG talking about ESG putting it in the forefront of communication is resonating increasingly is that the way you see things going forward in fact I think communicators have a reason to cheer and so do all the agencies because our role has become very very important in this age of ESG so these are the kind of events we have to sponsor this is the imagery that we have to get into these are the kind of community partnerships we must be into it was not making as much sense to them as it is making today so and like Mr. Sinha said these are not you know short fixes to your image or you know just to your visage this is how I should look but these are long-term goals in engaging your community better in retaining your employee better in having motivational levels go up in having overall safety hygiene standards be equitable with your global counterparts and while yes media is like Mr. Tikur rightly said you know it is very interested in any negative ESG report that may come out on the positive side what media is interested in is any of the green funds that you can gardener bases your ESG scorecard so there is also immense scope for publicity in this area thank you so much just quickly add I think forget about businesses and everything media has a very powerful role PR has a very powerful role in fighting climate change if you could keep a check on businesses and not let them speak about things they don't do if you could punch holes into their claims and I mean look back in 2021 2022 whether it is H&M whether it is Deutsche Bank whether it is Volkswagen but whether there is so many these issues which we have come which have come up I think you have a very strong role to play in this and startups businesses use their story on sustainability as a marketing tool and that's good to do that's and there's no harm in doing that but if as as a communication team which is sitting on the other side of the table I would really like to see more people cross verify cross check every claim that has been made and then publish it and say yes these are the good people and these are the people who are actually harmful for the society because they say they're doing good and they are not yeah thank you yeah I think before we close just one final comment I as a part of you know a group which had rated Indian companies on ESG parameters and launched India's first ESG index on a national stock exchange it no longer exists by the way now but there we had studied the top Nifty 50 and ESG screen top 50 companies and we found that in terms of returns if had you invested in Nifty 50 and had you invested in ESG 50 you would not have compromised on your return the returns which Nifty 50 is giving over the years is exactly the same as the ESG 50 is giving however once the 2008 crisis happened there after what we found was the ESG screen companies were giving you even higher return than the Nifty 50 so if you invest in those companies which are ESG screen companies then as an investor you do not lose anything on the contrary you gave just to add to what you said sir if you look at a recent RBI report it says exactly the same thing that ESG compliant Indian companies have performed better on the bosses than others I've been asked to wrap up so I will I look forward to hearing more from our community the communicators community about ESG the need to implement ESG because a sustainable business a sustainable business out there is what makes our business sustainable thank you so much thank you so very much ladies and gentlemen allowed a round of applause for this very very powerful fact session could I please request our panelists to kindly join us up front for a group picture and also please welcome Mr. Harbindar Narula CEO VTAPU wellness to present a small token of appreciation to our panelists


In 400 meters, turn right onto Caratera Cancun, Tulum.   Caratera, turn right on the Caratera.  Oh yes. Oh yes, we're gonna go to Casa Cenote. Check it out. Right behind me is Casa Cenote. It's right off the side of a road, about 15 minutes from Tulum. And I hear it's badass. And there's an alligator in there, or crocodile, I forget.  It is time to go somewhere neither of us have been. It's a place called Bacalar. And we've heard a lot about it. It's a lacuna. The water looks crazy, crystal clear, blue. The kind of water you see on a screensaver and you think it's not real, but it is real. That's where we're going. It looks super magical. Hidden treasure of the Maya. Look at that. Oh man. Let's go get our hotel and play in the water. What's up? Welcome. What did we find? I found some fresh cocoa. Nice. So this is our room. It's very basic. It doesn't have air conditioning, but it has windows which is nice. We have access to the lacuna right behind us. Let's go do this. Let's go do this. This place definitely lives up to the photos that are on the internet. It is beautiful. Feels like a big blue bathtub. Look at the clouds. It's almost sunset. You wanted a sunset in Mexico. This is amazing. This is so beautiful. It's crazy. I love it. I have been to so many beautiful places around the world and I'm usually either by myself or with a bunch of guys. And I think, God, this would be so much better if I was with a beautiful girl that I was madly in love with, but I never was. But now I am. And that's so amazing. And here she is swimming over here like a mermaid. Isn't this crazy? Look at that sunset. Look where we are. It's the hottest part of the day. We should probably go running. We're gonna run to a cenote called Cenote Azul because why drive there when we can run there? Town smells really good. There are so many flowers blooming right now. We're way to Cenote Azul, but as with the entire run, we got distracted almost every step of the way. And look where we are now. What? Do you see this? Crazy. Stayed my 35th trip around the sun. It's actually the end of your 35th year. Yeah, yeah, true. How you feeling about things? Really good. Yeah. 34 is a good year. She's coming for me. I mean, she wants to kiss. This is the second night in a row with awesome clouds. I'm beginning to think that this is what Bacalar does at nighttime. Puts on a cloud show. Happy birthday. Do you like waking up at 5.30? Oh, is this video? Yeah, this is video. Happy birthday. Thanks, Dave. Yeah, I love waking up for the sunrise. All right. I think it's the proper way to start a new year. All right, it is Allie's birthday part two. And our spot is our personal lagoon.


I don't want to go into what makes it like this for me today. Alphons do that during recitation. Any time here. Are you Jeff? Yes. That's I think 40. Thank you. About the, for example, suppose, so the low score I think was 12, 15, something like that. If you were that person, that doesn't mean you will automatically fail this class. It does mean you automatically fail this exam.  I posted the solutions and the grading scale on the web. Basically similar to the other exam. So 60 and up was A or A minus. I think 65 was the A minus line. Either 45 or 50. I think 50 to 60 is a B. All kinds of B's. And 40 was the kinds of C's. Not counting C minus. And if you've got below 40, then you need to make some changes to your life. If you want to have this class. So I guess I should say a few words about what I do when I pray. It is possible for someone to have a very bad day. I understand that. If you had a very bad day or a very bad week, that does not mean, so suppose you got a zero on this exam. That does not mean there is no hope of you passing the class. It means that I will look at your performance in the other grades on this test. I'm in this class and I will possibly discount this score accordingly.  What it means is if you did much, much, much worse than your average, then I conclude something was wrong. If of course the standard deviation of your grades are all over the place, that is you get a zero on this exam, a perfect score on the next exam, and right in the middle on the final, then I will average them all. But if it is clear that your grades do something like, then this one doesn't count so much. Signing a grade is to assess the material in the course. So we have four samples of your knowledge, the first midterm, the second midterm, the final, and the homework. And I view those as four samples. If you know any statistics, I'll view those as random variables. Well, I hope they're not totally random variables, but I'll view them as with, you know, there's some noise here. So you're using some noise range, and this one maybe really has a big variation because that was a bad day. And so I'm looking for a grade somewhere here. So that means that if you did very badly, don't give up all hope, but take that as a sign that you need to do better, and if you manage it, then your average decides. If you did really much better, well, much before you. So, right, if your grades do this, then you still get the average, which will be somewhere here. So, you know, even though I shouldn't file, I'll expel that one out, too. But I won't do that. Okay, so a couple more comments. Please check of your grade. Let's correct her. 15, 15, 15, and 10, you should tell me. If your grades got a perfect score, it would be nice if you would tell me, but I am not going to hold you to that. So, tell me if your grade is not, and that's enough. So I don't want to go over the problems on the exam because I post about the solutions. Call them something else. Armando, recitation, either administrative or any kind of questions. Yeah? In fact, there are other grades you just use the percentage you've got. Yeah. So this counts for 25% of your final grade. So, if you've got an A on this exam, and you get all zeros on everything else, and you've probably got at least a D in this class. But, yeah. You can add it to the letter. What matters? What do you calculate? I calculate the number, okay. But the number is not the percentage, right? Yeah. So here's what I actually do. I apply a piecewise linear mapping to your grade to put it on a standard scale where a 50 is the middle C. Then I average those. So the number matters, but it's not the percentage, right? I guess it's piecewise. Good. Okay, so other things? Okay. So now let's go back to doing some math. So we'll do some number, let's call it A, which is the way they teach limits in most calculus classes. That means if you look at A here and look at the graph here, it means as you zoom in here, wishy definition, let's call this a definition, definition.  So that's another choose. So let's choose that epsilon. So here's l, here's l minus epsilon, l plus epsilon. So you choose some distance around the point l, then there is some width here. It's here, well, let's just use that. There's some width here, A plus delta, A minus delta, that traps the graph inside this box. If you want to get within epsilon, you have to be, there's some number delta, some amount of control that you can apply to the function to get it in there by being within some, the real definition of the limit. And the reason that I'm pointing to calculus one classes, that's glossed over a lot, because it's, I don't know, too confusing or something, but it's important to realize now we want to generalize this to functions of more than one variable. So I want to generalize this to some function f from Rn to Rn now, so this is a vector function f. And I claim that everything is just the same as long as we interpret all the symbols in the appropriate way. So I'm going to say that the limit x, the vector, goes to some point, actually, let me call it x0. Some vector x0 of my vector value function f of the vector x, I'm going to say that that limit is some vector l. This vector is in Rn. This is in Rm. This is in Rm. So everything's the same except I put arrows over stuff. This means how small I want it. So for any, this can still be, this is my distance. Any distance I choose, there is some other input distance. I don't know. There is some input distance. So that, let me write it with two lines just to emphasize, the vector, the distance between the vectors f of x and l is small whenever the distance between the input vectors is small enough, but not necessarily equal. x is in the domain. It's exactly the same except that, and so I'm writing double lines too. So here, I make a mistake. Should be a zero vector. This is, no. No, it's a zero zero. It's a zero vector in R, which is also the scaling. So here is the length. Exactly the same as that guy as long as I interpret it. So it's saying if I want to get, if I want to say that f is getting close to some vector value l, I have to ensure that I take x close to, and if this is true, then we say the limit exists. Is this thing in the way? Should I put it lower? So let me actually draw that picture of some function. So let's say my vector value function f takes R2, R2. So a function from the plane to the plane. Let me just draw this same picture in that way. So let's say the domain, here's the domain of f. It's defined in that blob over here, and I have my point x naught, which is inside the domain of f over here somewhere. Let's f match this blob, I don't know, some way over here. And if I want to ensure that some epsilon maps onto that disk, there's some little disk here of distance delta around x naught so that everything in this disk goes inside here. Goes to some blob, and maybe it's got a long finger, goes to some blob here around l, but it fits inside every little disk of epsilon that I can make. And if that's the case, then we say that the limit, as we move in here, is the same as that. Now, this is saying, no matter how, not just along the coordinate axes, but no matter how you get there, here it has to get there, too. So the functions, which were not continuous because they moved, they were fine if you come in this way and if you come in this way, but if you come in that way, you get a different answer. So we had functions, so we have another way beyond this, you know, in one variable. We take a line, I'm just going to draw this analogous picture, and it goes to a line. This is not the graph of the function of this line, and if I shrink this in, then this has to shrink in. This is continuous, but something that takes this is not continuous. So we have to be a little bit careful that stuff doesn't fold in your way. We have that. And I guess one other x is in the domain of f. Maybe I'd have a function which is defined on this blob, this big blob, which also sends this point, x2, to this point, to this point, isolated. So a point in the domain, if it's in the domain, is x1. Then that's called isolate. If it's defined in an isolated point, it's automatically continuous. If this just holds automatically going x1, then we just say the limit might want to define a function at a point. So I'm going to take 141 for me. She's not even listening. Okay, so... But I won't even talk to her. Fine. Even though the sum vector f1 comes x vector f2, so we have that. It's not hard to show f of x, sum vector l, which is l1, l2. These are all now scalars. It's something exactly when the limit of each of the coordinate functions is the coordinate bit. So this is true if and only if x, as opposed to x, the coordinate function fi of x1. The limit exists if we just look at the coordinate functions that eat vectors and give numbers out. And that makes our life much easier. And let me not do the proof of this, but let me just tell you why it works. So can somebody give me a hint why this would work? Or even what this is saying? What it's saying. Okay. It means that you can take the limit of the individual components, so I can take the limit of f1 of x vector. It means that it'll equal l1 of the scaling. Yes. So we just can take the limit on each piece. And why does this work? Well, this works. I mean if you just look at this picture, here we say we take something going in, we look at what comes out, and we see that here it's trapped in this bit, and here it's trapped in this bit. And so as this shrinks to zero, these both shrink to zero. And as these both shrink to zero, this shrinks to zero. So we can just look on each of the coordinate axes and see how they shrink. Yeah. Why does it go towards x0? Do I have to have a limit going to something? Well, why does it go to zero?  Well, shouldn't it go up from zero? Feel cool. So it's not, I mean x0 would just give it some place to go. In my notes actually I called it A, but then when I get further along I want to call something else A. Yeah, no, it's just a gym now. So as things tend towards gym, yeah. It's a gym, so it's... No, that's fine. I didn't say anything about continuity. I didn't say f of gym is l. I'm just saying x, this is just saying we're here in the plane, here's some x that comes in some way and goes that way. And squeeze this, that forces the circle to squeeze, and as we force the circle to squeeze, it forces these two sweeps. In other words, what we're trying to vector minus l vector is just the square root as one of l2 squared plus blah blah blah plus fm of x vector minus lm squared. Just the distance formula. All of these things, if all of these go to 0, and that squeezes this to 0, if one of these doesn't go to 0, then this doesn't go to 0. So this observation is just another way of saying that picture. You said, thought I heard you say a minute ago writing the limit in that situation is not the same as it being continuous. Well, I didn't talk about what continuous means. So maybe that limit exists, but it's not what you want. It's a condition. Certainly, if I want it to be continuous, I have to have a limit. But you have a limit, it's not necessary. Not necessarily the value. Just like in one variable, if I have, just like in one variable, if I define a function like f of x equals the cosine of x or x not equal to 0 and 5 and 3 quarters for x equals 0, the limit exists everywhere. x goes to 0 of f of x is 0. This definition doesn't affect the limit. This is well defined everywhere and it's saying, you know, the graph of this function is the cosine, except here it's 5 and 3 quarters for all my scales that go off. It's not a continuous function. Now I didn't define continuous yet, but sure. Okay, thanks. So, I mean, limits are closely related to continuity, of course. Yeah? Because it's 1. And then also, for all i, for all i, between, what did I start with? 1 and m. This is just a hint of how the proof goes. You want to read the proof, open the book to the appropriate page and there's proof. But it just does that. It just says this can't shrink.  Why is it 1? Because the cosine in 0 is 1. But the limit as x goes to 0 of this function doesn't even see this because we're only looking for x near 0, not equal to 0. So as x squeezes down to 0, it looks just like the cosine. And cosine is continuous, so it's just the value. But the value is 5 and 3 quarters of this function. I didn't say anything about derivatives. I'm only talking about limits. I'm sort of starting over, but not really. This is defined everywhere. Here, I can say, how about x bigger than 0? How about x bigger than negative 1 and x not equal to 0? And it's 7 for x equal to negative 5. Negative 5 is isolated because this is only defined from negative 1 and up. So this is isolated. I was just throwing the isolated in there in the case that we have an isolated one. And I was talking about you but you weren't listening, so it's okay. Okay. I guess another thing, another piece of terminology that I want to mention, a name which is that we have correction functions. The book says that this is the function I'm going to use the book's notation for a minute. pj which takes, I don't know, rn into r of x some vector is just let's say x is the vector x1 up to xn and the jth projection function the jth projection function just picks out the jth coordinate. It's just a way of saying forget everything except the jth coordinate. Now, the more common notation at least in more advanced math use the letter pi because people get confused if you start calling a function pi. But it's fairly standard notation in a lot of more advanced mathematics to call these projection functions pi, pi, the Greek letter p so I may actually I probably wouldn't use it in this class. Yeah. And then this book uses capital p but it just says pick out the jth coordinate. Yeah. It's rn in if you r out. So always right so p2, 7, 8 pi means something else in the fundamental group but yeah, we need more letters. Yeah. So it's really confusing when you want to project the fundamental group on this whole thing. Pi, pi. So you only use either letters mostly for fundamental. Yeah. This is p2. 1, 7, 8 is 1. And p4 doesn't make sense because it's only in 3 seconds. So this is sort of a standard function from rn to rm and sometimes it's handy to use these projection functions to mess with the prior things but it's sort of so some function some function f in rn oops, sorry I need something first is in the interior. The same is plugging in. If that's true, then the function is continuous. It's exactly the same definition as in one variable. When you plug in it's the same as taking the limit, the function is continuous. So respectively f is continuous at x0 and x is continuous at g at the appropriate place and also where it's appropriately defined the composition. Composing, continuity, continuity provided that you're not divided by certain continuity, all that stuff is good and let's call it a matrix. And it's continuous and scaling them by some scale. projection functions, you bang down on each of the projections looks like a1x1 plus a2x2 plus a2 11 12 11 plus a2mxm n1x1 plus amm all linear transformations are continuous Does that say a2mx1? Yeah, I need two I need two indices because if you prefer I could put a b here and a z here. I'm going too fast, is that too confusing? Why do we care? I'll show you in a second. We're almost there. Let's respond to r for a minute. So this is a real value function on a vector input which is in the interior F of gym I'm writing a difference quotient here by the distance between x and gym Well, it is a number but it's not just any number but this is where this a comes from So, instead of writing it on this side I'm going to write it here, it's the dot product where you're going. What do you talk about? Do you take each of its components and simultaneously increase them first? We're careful than that Let me draw a picture If your function is nice sure that's good enough So let me draw a picture here and I take any vector x and it comes in in any old way Just look on the coordinate axes The function might be nice on the coordinate axes but terrible if I do something like this it will be generally Is it up to you? This is like the map that Sarah Kaylin put up You have to show it works from all ways So really what I'm doing is I'm zooming in my scope because you can have one component of the vector go really far off as long as it comes back So in the end in the circle You shrink this entire circle and the things that are trapped in that circle have to approximate minus sign A equals zero is that the limit as x goes to gem of f of x vector minus f of gem vector divided by the length of x minus gem vector vector times the vector x minus gem but we scale it that's why I can't do it See, I can't do it I can't do it So what this is really saying is if I look at this thing more and more and more it looks like looks more and more and more like a this is a unit vector more and more like some vector or projected onto this unit vector It's saying no matter how I come in here eventually I'm going to come in sort of along a direction and on that direction there's some vector A that works like just measuring the dot product I mean the dot product is measuring the size This is yeah So the top is equal to zero and the tops only equal to zero if the two sides are equal to each other So why do we need the bottom part of the limit at all? So think about the one variable case In the one variable case I have f of x minus f b over x minus b and I take the limit as x goes to b This is f prime of x Let me try and rewrite the one variable limit in this kind of language Well that's the same as saying that minus that is zero and then I can scale this up by x minus b over x minus b except I don't want this to be like that So here we usually put an absolute value here and an absolute value here but I don't want the absolute value compensated for by making sure that they come from the same side But it seems like this whole thing is just complicated like only holds true in a way way simpler less case holds true Like the really simple case being the limit of f of x minus f of j equals A dot x minus j There is some A so that they will be equal You do But it doesn't seem like you do because the only time that that limit is ever zero is when that top part is zero Most of it You're losing information It's saying if you scale things up so this is a linear function and we're saying as we zoom in here we're scaling it up so we're zooming in and scale up the corresponding linear function They look more and more the same Is there any time that the limit is zero but the top is equal to zero? Well it's more than just the top being zero But is it? This is tending I mean this limit so this is never zero x is never general We're only getting close to general Right But it's never equal to general Let's say as you get closer and closer I mean it's saying as you scale it up almost I think there's a counter example but I'm not sure Okay so let me So this vector A, I called it A here but it has another name and some of you may already know what the name of that vector is Does anyone know what the name of that vector is? This special vector A So the definition says it's not derivative This is how we write Robert This is how we write Robert Mine was pretty close What's up with this? Oh you can't see It's a gradient I should tell Robert That doesn't like that That's the definition That is all stuff It's the gradient of f It's the gradient of g Yes the gradient of g And that's what A is And that's what A is So A This particular A If it exists It's called the gradient vector Now Many of you know Really The following theorem We've done any multivariable calculus before or seen any multivariable calculus before We have some function It's continuous I'm going to stop thinking of Jim Continuous Differential It's differentiable At x0 Then The gradient of f Is just the vector Partial f x1 At x0 Partial f x2 At x0 Blah blah blah Partial f xm And that's unfortunate So suppose that xy No ze to the xy So that's a function From r3 to r So the gradient This function is continuous everywhere The domain is everything So at any point x, y, z The gradient Is going to take the partial Of this with respect to x So that gives me y yz e to the xy That's the first x bit And then x to the y gives me x plus xz e to the xy That's 1, that's 0 And that's e to the x This is not a D This is a nap line You type in macro-western It's easy, very easy to calculate You might also write it as y plus yz e to the xy Yeah, this is in there Because I don't have m kind of like A kind of derivative vector It's not Well, it's a vector that's Related to the derivative It tells us about it And in particular It gives us a good sense of Where the tangent plane is But here It's even a little bit hard To think of this tangent plane Because this is a vector in R3 This is where the C later Work geometrically So right now It's just that And Maybe So this is not a definition This is a theorem This is a definition We find some vector That when we dot it with the function It works nice It gives us The limit as we zoom in So let me say a few words So the proof actually Is pretty easy The thing that when you zoom in It looks more and more like It has to be that The hypothesis is it's differentiable So that A exists So that's what it has to be So What do these things mean? These things mean I come in on the various coordinate axes And so I can write A So really what I Here's A In terms of the coordinate pieces Somehow I lost Jim Jim became A Yeah, that's because I switched from Oh well, it's okay So if I write it that way Then notice that if I just Look at I can now look at this piece by piece So I can just look at this on each piece And I see that it converges Well those are exactly the partials It can't be anything else If it's there Let me point out that if Partials are continuous Then f is automatically differentiable Without the partials If it was functions Then it's easy to see that the function is Differentiable Even if the function can be differentiable Even if the partials are not continuous Let's just an easy example An example of this Is the function From r1 To r1 Which is say x squared Sine 1 over x If x is not 0 And 0 Then the derivative at 0 is 0 But It's the same as the derivative that's not continuous So there's a name That has two things happen Also partial Is continuously differentiable The derivative that we get Is continuous there So if you remember I mentioned this That said the mixed partials are equal When the function Has continuous partials This is exactly when Claro's theorem holds Given this The second derivative The second partials Fxy is Fyx We have to go to the third For three dimensions Say you're doing it What I wrote here works for 17 Dimensions if you want So it wouldn't necessarily be the second No, just the second So The function is continuously differentiable That f of xz Is the same as f F Or y Or q Just the mixed partials The second derivatives Doesn't matter which way you go So this is really the same as saying To tangent plane There's a tangent plane And it moves around in a nice way You can find a tangent plane


Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome back to my channel. My name is Coach Coco, and I love volleyball so much so. My channel's full of tech tricks, hacks, and anything you can ever need to know about volleyball. So we're talking about the ball-shaped hand today. You probably have heard your coach say, hit the ball with the ball-shaped hand. And a ball-shaped hand is a hand that is properly morphed around the ball with the fingers in palm connecting. We often hear this a lot when we're talking about serving or hitting. So it's important to note that the ball-shaped hand is something that is vital to volleyball. But first let's do a drill called palm bounce. What I want you to do is to get activating with those fingers is to bounce it down on the ground. I want you to get used to having your palm touch the ball so that way you get used to that sensation because sometimes we don't feel our whole full palm get on the ball. And once we do that, we want to get five points of contact, which is each one of your fingers. So we're going to put each of our fingers on the ball. And then when we lay our palm down, now we have what is called a ball-shaped hand. It is a lot easier said than done, but we want to make sure that when we're contacting the ball and either serves or when we're hitting the ball, we get the best direct contact we possibly can. We don't want to have our fingers so stiff so that way it can cause injury, but we want to make sure that when we are having a ball-shaped hand, it's relaxed, but it also is firm, not stiff, firm. Now, once you feel like you have a ball-shaped hand, the best thing to do is to bounce it over and over again until you can get some consistency. We want to work on that muscle memory of how our hand is shaped so that way you can kind of determine in your mind what feels good to you. And once you determine what feels good, you know how your ball-shaped hand should look for you. Once you start getting it into your mind and you start working on that muscle memory, then add in it into your serve. You need to practice contacting the ball at the highest point, but using all of your palm. This was just a really quick video to remind you how to make a ball-shaped hand. Please like, comment, subscribe, and I'll see you guys next time.
