Hey guys, this is Rich from Rich TV Live. I wanted to bring you another pick, which is a penny stock that I'm going to only give to Rich TV Live members here on YouTube. So this is I L U S, it's in the States, it's a small cap penny stock. Beware, lots of shares out, not the perfect deal, but it's a penny stock with some incredible upside. You can see it's been as high as around 18 cents and recently been as low as six. I think if you can get in at like eight cents or less, that seems like a reasonable price. Six cents will be perfect, but I think we could see this go to at least 20. So if you got in at, you know, eight or seven or six cents and this rounded 20 cents, you'd see incredible upside. I think you need to put it on your watch, just put it on your radar. I L U S, put it on your watch, just put it on your radar is your board Rich from Rich TV Live. If you're not winning, you're not watching, we bring you the winners and we bring them to you. First, I L U S, penny stock. A lot of people are talking about, put on your watch, just put on your radar, don't chase green, buy on dips, sell on rips. That's the rich method. If you wanna learn how to trade, join the club, richpixdaily.com, your boy's out, peace.


When you look at the facts, it's not just the United States experiencing inflation. It's the whole world. The data means the world's four largest economies have all reported record inflation numbers. So what is inflation? What's causing it? And what can we do about? At its simplest, inflation is about supply and demand. When things are hard to get, they're more expensive. COVID caused massive supply chain disruptions and places like China, where a lot of the world's products and materials are made, are still imposing COVID lockdowns. During the depths of the pandemic, the government put a large amount of money into the economy to protect families and businesses and avoid a depression. Both presidents agreed to do this. That was necessary. There's something else that people are forgetting, though. Here in the United States, our job market is booming. Working Americans are getting more jobs and as a result, they're spending more money. And that also drives up prices. So what do we do now? How do we respond in order to cut prices and make things more affordable? Well, Congress recently passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is a good start. It caps the amount that seniors will have to pay for insulin at $35 for a month's supply. It will also lower your utility bill by promoting more clean energy. And it reduces the deficit, which leading economists say will also reduce inflation. This is an important step forward on inflation. It's going to invest in the future of our country. If we're going to fight inflation in a way that puts working Americans first, we need more voices and the government who agree.


Kia ora, Tiffano. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be here today. I'm really thrilled to be presenting a new project that I've been working on for a few months only. And this is the first time I'm talking about it to an audience of this size. So bear with me. So the project is called Greater Than. And what we're working on is supporting organizations to become more human-centered, open, and collaborative by offering them software tools, but also services around practices and cultural tools to make this the new normal. And so we're doing this through the lens of everything that has to do with money and organizations. And that means things like budget planning, resource allocation, financial management, value flows. So let me take a step back. Why are we actually working on this? So I think many of us here often think about how can we make the most difference to solve global problems with the skills that we have. And I've made a choice to focus on the area of organizational development. And I guess the reason for that is that when you look around, our organizations are everywhere. They're a huge core driver of our economy, but also as individuals, all of us go to work and spend a huge amount of our time in the workplace. So when I think about how can we shift mindsets? How can we change behaviors? Starting in the workplace seems like a great starting point.  They're failing to address global problems. They're also failing us as individuals. There are so many statistics that show how disengaged people are in companies and how meaningless they feel. And they're not contributing to solving any problems. So the reason I found my way into this topic is actually through an organization that I've been part of for the last five years called WeShare. And WeShare is a distributed network. It's very many things. I've heavily contributed to building this organization. But foremost, it really is an experimentation lab with new ways of living and working together. And so over the past five years, this international community has taught me so much about new ways that we can work as freelancers and teams and really transform the way organizations can function. And I've also been exploring this as a member of Inspiral, which is a New Zealand-started and a based collective network of entrepreneurs working on things that matter. So from this starting point, maybe going back so WeShare, as you can hear in the name, we actually started working on the sharing economy in the beginning. And so one of the key insights for me in doing this was we were all really excited. There was a lot of positivity five years ago when this really started. People thought that new sharing platforms that would enable us to share our resources and our houses and our cars would really make a big difference. But what became apparent very quickly is that if we put a little layer of sharing on top of hierarchical structures that don't change anything about how value flows and the people producing the value that actually capture it, we're not really making any difference. So this is an article I wrote a few years ago about this topic. And it really is what led me to wanting to work more on what is the operating system of our organizations and how can we fundamentally shift the way they work and propose new models. So why do this from the angle of money? A lot of the experiments and different things I've done within WeShare over the past five years have really had to do with trying to distribute leadership, because I've often been a team leader and wanted to really empower others that I'm working with. And one of the things that's really come up is that every time the topic of resource allocation and making financial decisions is really where it's been the hardest to be more collaborative and bring more people into sharing that responsibility. So it seems like both the hardest but also the most impactful area to start to try to bring more collaboration. So that's why I've decided to dedicate my time to working on this. And the real realization actually hit me when I was last November with my friend Sandra who's here in the room in Brazil on an island off the coast from Rio. And I realized that there's so many things that I have that are such an amazing starting point to work on this. The WeShare community, the Inspiral community, all the wealth of knowledge and the experiments that we've run and the practices over the last years. But also a real co-hah, which is the stewardship of a tool that has been used in the Inspiral network for several years already called co-budget. And so me and my team, we have received the stewardship over this tool, which is a collaborative resource allocation tool. And we're using this as our starting point to really work on this topic and get feedback and experiment with how groups can actually allocate their resources more collaboratively and bring more people into financial decisions. So this is where we're starting. And I guess just to close, if you're interested in this topic, I'd love to discuss with you further. And for me, this maybe seems like a small little tool and how can this develop and what can we do with it. But what I really hope this is the beginning of is creating more organizations that can really unleash all the human potential that is in them, enable people to thrive, be entrepreneurial, and really have a systemic understanding of the organization they're working in. The environment, the local communities around it, and make it possible for all of us as individuals to be able to solve the problems we see. So if you'd like to do that too, please talk to me. Thank you. Kia ora.


James Webb in 1954 stated that every human being has four hungers the hunger of the loins the hunger of the belly and I'm sure most of us here are feeling that hunger right now the hunger of the mind and the hunger of the soul you can get by a long time on the loins and the belly but there is a good deal of evidence that even the meanest of men eventually crave something for the mind for it is this craving that brought us to this prestigious institution this craving gave us courage to remain focused despite the odds the chief aim of any true system of education must be to impart to the individual the courage to play the game against any and all odds indeed this institution has nurtured such courage within every one of us here today for it was at this college that I really understood the power and resilience that lie in the words against all odds and I'm sure you understood what these words mean these were the words that govern my stay here at this institution they served as a testimony to me reminding me that I was in pursuit of excellence we were all in pursuit of excellence and to gain this excellence we had to make it against all odds it was Anthony Robbins author of the book entitled unlimited power who stated that at some point in every human in every man and woman's life there comes a time of supreme challenge there comes a time when every source that we have is tested to its fullest a time when life is inexplicably unfair a time when our ability to persist is pushed to its limits and beyond for every one of us here today our surgeon at this college was such a time there were times when we felt like giving up didn't you feel like giving up there were times when we felt we could not go on didn't you feel that way there were times when we felt we did not have the staying power to hold on but we did didn't we that's why we are here this evening take a walk with me down memory lane do you remember the sleepless nights of toil when the assignments with you and we didn't know how and where to get started do you remember when classes were backed one after the other that it was hardly any time to grab a bite do you remember getting a grade that was so disappointing that the last person you wanted to see was the lecturer who gave you such a grade I am sure you can recall your applaud tells me that you do recall but oh let's turn the coin over let's look at the flip side and remember all the beautiful things that happened whilst we were here remember the friendships that we built with each other remember the inspiring words of wisdom that someone shared just when you thought that your world would crumble it was right here that some of us found our sweet heart it was her it was here that some of us found ourselves and we got to know what wonderful things we were capable of it was her that most if not all of us discovered that we have what it takes to persevere till the end and so today we have ripped the rewards of our perseverance and endurance today we have actually personified the words of the Olympic champion called Lewis when he said if you have confidence you will always find a way to win and we did find a way to win that's why we are here this evening for remember it had to take a certain measure of confidence in ourselves and in our ability to persist in our ability to succeed that is why we are enjoying this wonderful occasion here this evening today we experience in the flip side of the coin after the trying years of toil and labor today there is joy truly weeping may end your for a night but joy comes in the morning and yet my fellow colleagues with all this joy and happiness we cannot fail to acknowledge the source from where our success has come it is not only of our own strength that we have succeeded this evening it is a gift from God if it were not for the grace and mercy and blessings of God none of us would be her today and I reiterate none of us would be heard today for only God only God can take this feeble mortal clay and transform it into a champion of excellence and that's what we are this evening champions of excellence it is only when we recognize where the ultimate power comes from that we can experience the blessing so if you have not said thanks to the Almighty God for your successes I urge you to do so even as I speak as we formally close the door on this chapter of our lives let this not simply be the end of one phase but let it be the beginning of new things to come for always there are new frontiers to conquer and much higher mountains to climb I urge you not to succumb to the mediocrity that is now plaguing our society but set yourselves high standards and determine in your mind that whatever task your hand finds to do you do it with all your heart all your soul and all your might as you begin to use the knowledge and skills that you have acquired at this institution to accomplish your task please I urge you do not measure your success only by your bank balances or your checking account but rather if you can gain the respect of another human being if you can win the confidence of a child if because of you another human being can breathe better then consider yourself a success my fellow graduates always remember that people are life's greatest resource therefore in whatever affairs of life you find yourself always put people before the material things of this world whenever you have a decision to make always ask yourself how will this affect others will this build relationship or will it destroy real education should educate us out of self into something much finer into selflessness that will link us with humanity to emphasize this point allow me to share with you this very short anecdote entitled the kindness quotient hundreds of academic professionals gathered to honor a man who had earned a Nobel Prize in science during the preliminary ceremonies his wife wedded backstage with the wives of the other men who would be honored also the wife of the Nobel Prize winner didn't seem particularly excited the other women ask her why how can I be happy with her husband like that she asked and went on to describe a rather pathetic home life immediately the other women chimed in why that's my story exactly all had the same experience of neglect and abuse while cameras flashed on stage and the dignitaries gave admiring speeches a very different story was unveiled backstage those who were closest to the honorees could only describe a common misery it is one thing to be right my fellow graduates but it is another thing to be nice it is possible to have high IQ and low KQ KQ stands for the kindness quotient it has to do with our interpersonal relations with others or as some of us would know it in psychology our emotional intelligence success in life does not simply come out from how smart we are it's not simply about how smart we are but it is from how we treat other people that is what matters most in life let us keep in mind that we have not been educated for our own selfish purposes no not not at all but we have been educated to serve service firstly to God and then to this country as you chat a course for yourselves in this society of ours I urge you students from the division of agriculture you are now in a profession which is a buoyant part of this country's economy with your newly acquired knowledge and expertise I charge you to play a major role and help take this sector from the level which it is at into one that transcends time and space to the students from the continuing education department to you who have chosen to pursue studies despite the fact that you hold a daily job I say hats off to you allow this kind of determination to be the theme that you live by continue to educate yourselves in the countless areas that are open to you to the students from the division of technical education and management studies as you go out there and you learn the artifacts of the business and technological world let your motto be to do more than is expected of you for only the mediocre will measure the quality of work done with the wages that he receives you are not mediocre none of us is always go the extra mile students from the department of health sciences I admonish you to be careful with your patience because your field is one that requires that you use not only your medical knowledge to administer healing to the sick no but it is also one you must also cultivate a spirit of love and compassion that is also a healing bomb to the students of the division of arts science and general studies the world awaits your insightful knowledge of science and the many subjects which you have gained a profound understanding of don't ever set limits on yourselves but let your cup of knowledge be ever flowing into the numerous sectors of this society and to the students from the division of teacher education and educational administration you have been called architects of society you create the doctors the lawyers the businessmen the carpenters and other skilled workers and so many more your newly acquired skills and knowledge will be much needed as you go into the classrooms remember it would have been futile to go through such rigorous training and in the final analysis to fall back into your old practices make your teaching experience a lifelong teaching practice finally fellow graduands our time here was but a training ground it was but a rehearsal to prepare us for the things to come now the curtains are going up the stage is set and it is our moment to shine and be models to the many who are the eyes fixed on us as we leave her this evening let us allow the words of our anthem to strike a resounding note in our minds let us truly build a name that will always last and even as we have left the walls of this prestigious institution let us all her continue our pursuit of excellence ladies and gentlemen I thank you


All right, welcome everybody. We will wait about 30 seconds more to see if anyone else pops in and then we'll get started. I did put the meeting notes in the chat there as well. And don't forget to put your name in the attendance section of that document so that we know that you were here. And can sort of keep track of things. Let's get started here and we'll. Do a quick round of introductions for folks that are going to be watching the recording that may be unfamiliar and we'll start out with Diane. All right, well, I am the director of community development here over at red hat and one of the. Long time co chairs co conspirators on okay D and origin prior to that. So I think I probably have the longest running history. So if you have questions about why we did things the way we do. I'm probably to blame. So, yeah, welcome. And maybe D tree. Why don't you go next because. Okay. Hi everyone. I am working for red hat and I joined this meeting to actually, I want to contribute to okay D and just looking forward to understand things better. Yeah, that's all. Are you brand new to to red hat? Are you one of the new customer facing folks or where you land. I, I, I have been with red hat for five years now. I'm also the steam customer focused engineering team and because of that, you know, I'm, you know, learning okay D more. Awesome. Cool. We have a track for you. So yes. Okay. Excellent. And Michael. Hi, I'm Michael. I'm a technical writer with bread hat work on the open shift line. And I am currently the okay D liaison, I guess you would say. Don't feel new with the team. Hey, I'm Brian. I work for IBM, but here sort of as a hobbyist home lab enthusiast. And I'm running out okay D and at home. Excellent. And I'm Jamie. Who's a co-chair of the okay D working group and at the University of Michigan, where we have okay D running in a variety of capacities across the university. So let's jump right into the agenda item of current projects. And Mike isn't here to talk about the status of moving things over. Let me take a quick look at that poll request to see what the status of that is. Let's see. It's ready to merge. We can merge it. I think the last I talked to him, it wasn't. He was waiting for more feedback from the higher the Uber. I see. Yeah. So it looks like updated eight days ago. So we will put that on hold until the next meeting to see if we have an update for that. The Charter updates and placements. So the main group signed off on putting a link to the Charter in off of the main website off of okay D dot IO. It's just a question of folks. Notice that there's a couple of inaccuracies and some things that are outdated. So it'll be up to 1 of us or many of us to take a look at that. And look for anything that is outdated or incorrect and updated. So does anyone else want to volunteer?  I'll definitely take a look at it if you take a first pass and then tag me in it and any issues you have and then I'll review it. Do you have merged privileges on that repo now? I think I you and Joseph should. If not, let me I'll check and find out. We'll get that squared away for sure. Yeah, okay. Let's see here and update respective calendar invites. So I updated the main meeting 1. I haven't updated this meetings calendar invite yet, but I will updating it with a link to this documentation. And Christian did give me right access over the calendar invites. So I will update those and I noticed that actually that. I accidentally did it as HTML, which it's showing up in iCal funny if you're if you're importing it via iCal. So I will fix that so you don't see the HTML. That's that. So the next general meeting will have a discussion of install.md and then that leaves us actually to the last thing in our agenda, which is anything more from Brian in terms of inclusive language stuff. Take away Brian. Okay, so I did the review using the tools and created an issue on GitHub. So there are some things that we've got to do. A lot of them are going to focus around when we rename the master branch to main. And I don't know how the site is built what the pipeline is behind this. So, can I pass? But is that the okd.io site? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. So what I was going to keep going. Sorry. Thank I just want to make sure we're on the same page. Yeah, I just think we should be able to post the link to the pull request. Sorry, the issue into the chat if people want to follow. So yeah, so most of the issues are around the master branch being renamed to main. And this is all going to be synchronized and done as one sort of activity. So I say I don't know what the pipeline is on how the site gets built. And there are a few references within the site. So it sort of links back to the raw file on GitHub back to itself within the into the repo. And again, those are hard coded to the main the master branch needs to go and get changed to the main branch. And there's a couple of other things but nothing huge. So I'm not sure. Is that something within Red Hat that we'll actually look at that in terms of the tooling or something we need to do. I just went in and and you did talk about this at the. I didn't I didn't watch the video from last week. I missed last week. So it did get talked about, I assume at the last meeting. I just assigned two people Jerry Fala and Will Gordon. They are Red Hatters. They are the, the, the Wizard of Oz is behind the scripting and everything that builds this stuff. Joseph Meyer also has done some work with them. So I probably should tag him as well. Have a look at the issue. And Jerry is in the Czech Republic. So he's asleep right now. But and not quite asleep, but probably eating dinner. So it probably won't happen right away, but they're pretty responsive, depending on their workloads. And I'll probably throw a note in for for Joseph also to comment on it. Because I think they're the ones that have to actually review all the scripts in the back end and they they launched the automation that rebuilds the site. Whenever I crash it or edit anything. So they'll do it. We'll get there. So thank you for, for doing the work and you're going to make rich bow bow in there and the Ospo office very happy. They're trying to get everybody up to snuff. I guess the the following then is that we've got the open ship. Okay D repository. I think there's also a couple of other community ones that Jamie mentioned. I want to go and do the same thing with those. Yeah, so let's get this first one done and then the open shift one I think Michael Burke and the engineers are going to do that we don't. We can't make them do that they have to do it and they're. Yes. Well, thanks. We have officially switched to Maine. As of today. I'm perfect. Yes. Anything else to help with puppy to jump in and. Just any what I would love to see is more IBMers coming showing up. So anything you can do to cross promote there and get more folks from IBM. That would be wonderful. The other thing that and we've talked about this before, but since. D tree is, is it D tree? Is that how you say it? Yeah, it's pretty. Pretty pretty. Yeah, I can do that pretty. We have sort of a little bit of a training ground for looking for bugs in docs.okd.io that we're using right now and Michael Burke. And I have walked through it a number of times, but. One of the things we, we'd like to encourage the customer facing engineers and any newbies to do is to do an install of okay D somewhere on whatever hardware red hat lets you. Have access to whether it's AWS or whatever. And then as you're doing it walk through the docs.okd.io the latest released version. Of it and if you see anything and there are lots of things, especially focus, maybe 1st, because we keep trying to get this done. All of the anything that references rel core west instead of fedora core west or the wrong thing that those are easy lifts. And you can look in the issues. To see some other previous docs one docs related one for how we structure an issue. For docs we tag it in the subject line it has in brackets okay D and then we tag it with docs as one of the labels. And then assign to do a slash assign to Michael Burke and myself. Okay, D meal or 2000 ones you can look at any of the other ones. But if you could find a few of those and Brian. I'd really like to just get you to have log your 1st issue. Like Brian has done a wonderful thing here, you know, do for those and then with the new release that's coming out or came out 4.8. I'm sure there's things. Again, that we haven't caught. And then if there's stuff really missing in our documentation in the generic documentation. There's a lot of other documentations like the charter we were talking about earlier. And the guides we were talking about earlier, but I think for the brand new billions. Those folks, I think looking with a fresh eyes on the docs that okay D dot IO is really helpful. And it is a slimmed down version of the open shift docs with that. Michael's team has overlaid with some. I would call them patches, but I don't know the poll for it to build them is. Slims it down and re labels re edit some stuff. So we don't always catch everything. And we can always do better. Got it. Got a dine. I could go through the, I could do the installation and check to the docs. And if I find something, I'll raise an issue. Especially in the examples. So like when they give you something to cut and paste. Often that's like you'll see it doesn't say fedora for the operating system or something. Those, those are the things that. We kind of gloss over because we're looking at so many sets of documentation now for open shifty things. Okay. Sorry, I got a question on that one. When there's a feature that's called the open shift. Thing. Do we call it the okay D thing? Or does it stay with the open shift thing name? Because there was a couple of them I come across and the, on the overt sort of install part. And I just didn't know whether I should raise an issue there because it's actually like a feature that is like the open shift, which, which exists on okay D. But I didn't know whether we, we renamed it or kept the name as it, as it is within the open shift. Michael, do you want to. I can't think of one that comes to mind at the minute. Yeah, if you want to raise an issue and I'll take a look at it. Maybe that. To the right or hard coded open shift and we have a variable that switches back and forth. Maybe the right or put it open shift and should have been variable. But some things are named open shifts. Like a service like open shift, you know, if it's open shift cluster manager or open shift, whatever, like there's going to be things that will stay open shift because the actual component is called open shift. Or the actual service is called open shift something. So there are some cases where it would stay open shift. Yeah. It's, it's kind of a, you have to kind of look at is like, so if it's an operator or if it's a, I think of another example. If it's an operator or a service or anything like that that has open shift in the name, it'll generally stay open shift. So it's always best to file something that Michael can take a look at and then just to verify that that's the case. You know, because it's like the, the, some of the operators have open shift in the name of them. For sure in some of the, some of the services so I did post a new business item which is create a docs process document. If someone wants to take that on that would be awesome which is Diane has given the same spiel multiple times about how we go through this process. And it might be helpful if there was actually a document that says, you know, when you come across something like this file a ticket here and tag it this way, etc, etc. So, if someone here wants to take a crack at it that would be great. You can take a shot. That'd be awesome Michael thank you. I was actually asked internally to do something like that too so the things missing things labeled wrong code examples. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yep. All right. Is there anything else that we need to cover at this meeting we're only 18 minutes after but we covered our current agenda. I don't think we necessarily need to have a meeting just to have a meeting if we've gone through our materials Brian it looks like you have something. Yeah, there was that post that I put on the mailing list. 30th of June. Oh yeah that's right we were going to go through that yeah. Show your screen on Brian and walk us through it again just so refresh everybody. This might be a challenge. I've never done this on here so let me. I have got the right permissions and plugins and whatever else I need to do that. Worst case scenario. You might have to rejoin if you have to set security permissions to allow but. Yeah, that's what I'm. Google groups. Did that work. I've got to stop sharing button so there we go yeah we can see it very good we can see it yes. So it is that one. And this is probably like really really tiny. The same thing okay. So I mean what I tried to do is really. As I sort of got involved in the community so I mean the way I usually do it as I look for a few weeks just try and work out as a community works. And then I just sort of really make some notes on some of the challenges. I think this is a slightly different community because it's based on alongside a project, a commercial product. So one of the things that I'm still struggling with is as a community, what can we do and what are we sort of beholden on the product team to do. Well, one thing I did find is I looked at the okd.io site. And I just made some sort of comments on some of the challenges that I've seen and some of the confusion that I come up with. So it's probably this bit. So there's there's all these sections on the actual front page, but a lot of them point back to the same page. So as you're wanting to sort of go deeper and find out more, it's frustrating that all you're doing is jumping down the page to the next section, where you were hoping to maybe go a little bit deeper. And I think one of the issues is it's like there was a lot of places to find out where stuff was.  And there's a lot of really, really good information in there. But it actually took me a while to actually get around to finding that particular blog and following it on because a lot of the technical information in terms of how you get started and was in that set of videos. I'm seeing quite a lot of confusion in terms of what we use to do what. We've got the Slack channel. We've got the this group. When I look out, people say sort of report issues and we've got a discussion section. We've got the mailing list and some people say go to Stack Overflow. The Stack Overflow should be gone now. That's a remove thing. And the Google group and the mailing list are the same thing. But again, yeah, no, no, it's this is good. This is what Russia is there about, you know, I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, go ahead. Go ahead. I mean, the one thing that that I became very aware of is we've actually we're actually supporting two communities, two different communities were supporting the users that need help. And I don't really want to come in and be part of the sort of the inner group that wants to help and contribute. But then we've got the second community that want to contribute. And at the minute we seem to have everything mixed up. And it's not clear on where do I go to sort of talk about, I mean, I'm interested in what's going on with the operators. I'm longing to get pipelines working on OKD without having to put the so there's things like that that I want to contribute with. But a lot of this, the posts are about people getting stuck and wanting support. And it really goes back to the conversation probably about a month ago where Jeremy was looking for where to put the how to be a good sort of community member sort of information instruction. And I actually think that it would be useful to actually have a support and maybe a community, a contribution community or something separate the two out and have something. Yeah, I just decided I just put it into a post in terms of where I sort of got stuck or was confused about things. And I'm going to add another one to the list is the actual OKD.io the technology that that's using. No, it's not. It's a YAML based framework. And yeah, it's, it's, it's what I, yeah, so I have to say I'm very Buddhist about the site and maybe to Buddhist about it. I love to let other people edit and do it. And I practice non attachment. To this site, which I do take all the blame for I basically created it out of nothing. So, yeah, the framework that's under it. I've had a couple of iterations of it. Joseph Meyer, who is now not coming to the docs meetings, did an update to at least get it to the latest versions of the things that were used the frameworks and things, which was a good help. There's been a little bit of background stuff inside of Red Hat to maybe port it over to Drupal, but there are no resources to help with that. So, and anyways, long story short, I have the two people that I tagged in your inclusive language thing, Will Gordon and Jerry Fala, who are sort of assigned and resigned to helping me keep it, keep it alive. I am not adverse to moving it to something else. That's really not a problem for me. It's just mean, you know, ongoing maintenance and love and care for it is has been, it's been the thing we don't have a lot of resources on it. Okay, because I have used a technology that I ported another community within IBM over to, and I believe the K native community are looking at as well as investigating MK docs. It means that once you've got your templates and CSS set up, or documentation is marked out for your markdown. So to actually write content, even if you're not a markdown expert, you've got about five minutes of learning the half dozen syntax features, and then you can write documentation. It's just when I looked at what Mike had done, you need to be a full and sort of front end web developer to add content with that. So again, if there's anything that we can put up like a beta site and let people have a look at it, I'm happy to maybe do that. Yeah, no, we definitely could do that. What I would suggest is like some of these things that you're suggesting here. You're welcome to make it, if you make an issue, I will merge it, or I think Jamie now has merged privileges. If you make an issue against the okd.io repo, which I think you can see and do. I'll definitely accept the merges and do that. Some of it is, yeah, the framework that I'm using is not optimal. And a more doc space one. There's always one Porter SH. I think it's Porter SH is my go to example of what I think is brilliant. Let me see if I can find that one. Porter dot SH. Because I noticed the tool that's the catalog source builder. It's a red hat project. I noticed they were using a different technology. I'll just throw this in the chat. This is this is if I had a fantasy land and I'm not sure what's under the heat here. This is the website. The woman who runs this, the docs for here is also in the cube contributor project as well. So she's doing some other things and she's just done some brilliant stuff. And that's my fantasy life that we have enough resources to do something along that lines hasn't happened. But I'm quite willing to work with folks to move it to something there. What was the link of the site that you did for IBM? If you go to cloud native toolkits. Or one word. Too many browsers open. I'm trying to work out. Is it a what was it? Called cloud native toolkits.io. Dev. Yeah, link is in the chat. Okay, thank you. I cannot type. Oh, there's no s on the end of it. That's why. Oh, that looks very IBM blue. Yes. We had to, we had to. Change it, but if you go to. MK docs. Yeah, I don't know what the portal. I'll have to ask what portaries on your the hood. If you go to MK docs.org. This shows you what the templates can do. So if you just look at that, that's the same underlying technology, but just with a different template applied to it. So you can actually change it to what you want. But the good things are. You get a good menu. You get in page navigation. And then you get a full site search. And it's all a static websites. Wait, is this the same stuff that Ansible documentation uses and a lot of open source. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I've seen this. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, this is very nice. It looks. It looks less like a. Landing page for a project. I'm like, if you look at some of the GitHub landing page people and more to me, like documentation. So, yeah, now, if you look at what we did on the cloud native toolkit, we created a custom template just for the front page. And when you click into any of the documentation, you come into a more documentation site. Okay. Because they wanted the front page to look more like the projects opening page. And then after that you go into the documentation stuff. So it's it is customizable. And if this is something that we feel is a better direction. I'm happy to do. You get it working. The other thing is.  I like anybody doing organizing reorganizing the stuff and making it more usable, but something a little bit more welcoming. And that's I think what I like about the Porter one is that it has the what is stuff it has how to get on the landing page thing and if you take a look at that. It's, yeah, I mean, I'm sure the CNCF paid her to do it. And she works over at Microsoft. And now I cannot remember her name to save my life at the moment. And she came to a meeting actually. Yeah, early winters. Pull things back a little bit. So we're sort of focusing on the technology right now. One thing I think would be helpful to talk about is this division between or the boundaries between the working group, the community that's sort of around the working group, and the larger community that's the users. I don't think that that's well delineated. One of the things, for example, is the Google group and we talked about this, I think at the last meeting is to the Google group. I, well, it seems like the working group needs to have a communication channel for working group stuff. I sort of thought that's what the Google group was about. But we're seeing support questions getting posted to the Google group. That to me seems like we should instead have a Google group that is, or in addition, have a Google group that is like OKD support or OKD community or something like that, as opposed to OKD working group. Yeah, the, I think with Google groups, we could create another Google forum that was OKD working group dash docs, another one that was dash support or answers or whatever we wanted to call it. But the theory behind having just the single one is because we had so many limited resources, people would be having to watch all of these different spaces and keeping everybody in one. And in the beginning worked OK. And moving people who were asking support type questions over to the Kubernetes Slack was what we're trying to do is that if people were asking support questions to make them nudge them over there. And that's kind of where I nudge everybody.  It is easier for me and for, I think that, but I think, I mean, you're right, there's got to be some segregation of threads about support. So maybe we could look at the Google group and create a forum within there that Google group that was just support questions. And then one that was docs question. I think you can do that with Google groups. I haven't tried or played with it, but with the same Google forum just creates sub topics or sub forums. I'm sure I've seen that done for other groups. Yeah, I think so. I'd be happy to poke around for that. I don't know that you gave me access or not. I don't know. But I'd be happy to poke around and poke around and then we can just we can do one on one and create those. If you don't have permission, just ping me and Slack and we can do it. I just think that would be good because we're. It's things are getting a little bit mixed up and it's hard to wait through sort of support questions. And want, I want to use it to post like group, like working group related stuff, but then it sort of gets buried with the support questions. I think that sort of gets people sort of disconnected from it. Yeah, the other. Oh, go ahead. Well, I was going to say, and these customer facing engineers like you three here, we can get them to monitor the support as well. Like, so there's about, I think there's 60 of you or some crazy number of them that are being on boarded into the customer facing engineers. And this is there's wanting to use OKD as their training ground and to inspire them to be more open sourcey, which we like a lot at Red Hat. So maybe what we, if we separate it and then we can throw some of the customer facing engineers to the wolves. But really the, the traffic we've been trying to direct it to either OpenShift Dev or OpenShift users in the Kubernetes Slack. Because then it's not just the OKD working group that's looking at it. It's the broader all the OpenShifties, all the flavors of them. Those engineers are there too who can pop in and answer a question. Yeah, and it may be helpful to look at the way that we label things. There's, you know, the community link sort of is split into stuff related to sort of support and documentation. And then also the working group, like connect to the community is actually working group stuff. But I don't know that the working group is the community so much, right? So there's the user community and then there's the working group community. So it might be better or helpful to tease that out as we modify the website to make that a little bit clearer. Yeah, I also noticed that on the OpenShift Dev Slack channel, we actually say for OKD technical support, visit the community working group forum. So we're sort of saying for technical support, go to the forum at the top of the Slack channel. Oh yeah, that's problematic for sure. And Diane, do you know if that process of joining the Kubernetes Slack and getting into the channel, has that all been resolved in terms of now folks can just click the link and register and get in because for the longest time that was broken. Yeah, you still have to request access to Kubernetes. The CNCF has a little gatekeeping about that. So that's not an auto-join. I do own the OpenShift Common Slack. So if for some reason we don't like that, that's too much of a high gate for people to fill out that form, then I can always create a forum and a Slack channel in the OpenShift Commons one. But again, that's yet another thing for people to monitor and get notified by. So the fewer, honestly, the fewer of them, the better, even if there's a few collisions. But I think the OKD working group Google forum, I think we can fix that. Yeah, the other thing is, as I would say, recipes and guides seems redundant. Yeah, I put a note that recipes probably can be dropped now that we've created the guides. And that was an attempt earlier to do basically the guides in a different form. And I think another useful thing would be to try and get Vadim to do a presentation on something on how to actually do a build. And then let someone document that. So if Vadim can do a technical demonstration and we record that or we can then document it. Because again, I think I looked at some of the sort of first issues or sort of good first issue. And one of them was about memory. And it took me forever to realize that the OpenShift installer for OKD is actually in Vadim's gate repo. It's not within the open source gate repo. So I only found that out by, I think it was in one of the videos. And I only noticed where he was actually poking around in gates. So we actually don't say that anyway. So just having a technical. Is that documented anywhere in the guides, Jamie? I do not think so. And there's, Vadim had talked a couple of months ago about wanting to provide more documentation on like building the installer and people being able, because like Joseph, in fact, had wanted to do his own install tweaked to his liking. And we don't have documentation on that. So there's a little bit in the repo, but there's nothing that's a sort of step by step, how to do it type thing. And we could do that. And that would also encompass where does it live, right? So we could kill like three birds with one stone. If you can frame outline, maybe Brian and Jamie, what it is you want him to cover and feed it to me. And I can, I can record it on Mondays. I do AMAs with upstream project leads as part of OpenShift Commons. So I can get him to just do a session on that sometime in August. And then we can get it transcribed and then feed it back through the docs group here to turn it into some form of either a .md file or in addition to the guides section. Or maybe even incorporate Michael into the docs.io in a real way. Yeah, look at that scared look. But yes, so if you can give me enough meat about what you think he should cover. We try and protect Vadim from any extra workloads. So the clearer we can be about the steps we want him to cover. And that thing that is in his own repo probably shouldn't be there. We should be able to pull it into something. But we have a lot of things floating around in Elmiko's repo and Vadim's and Charo Groover's and Joseph's. And, you know, there's a lot. So there's a lot of, you're in the right place, Brian and D3. There's a lot of work to do. I mean, for me, that's one of the best ways to learn to get involved with the community.  And you then go start exploring. So I'm happy to do some of that work. I'm happy to pay to get it transcribed so that you're not trying to transcribe it. That's easy to do. There's tools, easy tools with YouTube to do that now. So if we can figure it out and then make the ask and he will be, he's in Europe, so he will be on better vacation time than me here in Canada. But I don't know when he's planning on taking them, but I hope he is taking them. But yeah, that's a brilliant idea. I thought he has done a video on that though. There's something niggling in the back of my brain. Sorry. No, no, no, he did an overview for the. What talk to it was the first sort of big talk that we did this year in February or March. Park review where the guides come from. He did a technical session in that and on that day. But he didn't cover enough to enable you to do it yourself. He actually pointed some key highlights, but didn't quite go far enough to actually how the process works. But I got a lot of information from that one video. All right, we will then most definitely loop that and Brian and I will work on that. And Brian and I also have a shared desire to see pipelines in OKD very soon. So we'll find out and that's the other thing that needs to happen is I would like to work with Vadim to get a clearer sense. He did delineate the operators a little bit better on Christian's issue, which listed all the operators that need to be moved over. But there's not a clear sort of explanation of, OK, this one actually needs some development work on it or we need to approach. You know, the folks that are hosting it currently and have them do a bit like it's a little bit unclear still on some of those what needs to be done, except for the ones that are in red hats. And so it's clear that those are actually there's something Vadim said something about pipelines and for eight or four nine. I guess that something was going to change and I can't remember what it is, but it might be that pipelines will be made available for OKD directly. I don't know, but we can ask him about that. I guess, I guess the first thing is is how do we go and add a new catalog source that gets added as part of the OKD installer that we can then start adding operator bundles into. I think having that that that first bit of infrastructure. Then means that there's a way of then adding an additional operator bundle into it. And I mean, some of the operators, I think they they should go into operator.io. They're actually community operators. They're not an OKD operator. They're a community. But things like pipelines, GitOps, we want to do storage virtualization. They are all red hat like things. All right, Brian, did we cover everything from here? We kind of we're all over the place, but did that cover your document and. Yeah, it really is in terms of helping people feel like in onboard quicker. And removing some of the confusion about. Where do you go for walks and yeah, I think we covered it all. Yeah, there was one thing that it predates you by a couple months is when we did. Start working on the site revamp last winter. There was a a. There was feedback from Vadim and Christian about or I should say against using the word support. In our website and in our documentation because it gave the impression that. People were entitled to something by using OKD were entitled to support in some fashion. And so if we can think of a better word than that. That implies like. Community support or something like that, then again, I would go back to sort of the, um, the porter.sh site and maybe the helm site. As well to see what the verbiage is that they use because they are open source projects that don't really. Have a supporting thing behind them. So I, and I'm just going to peek. Again at Porter and see which, but they I just personally. Yeah, so there's install quick stock community learning and docs. On the Porter site and I think under the community. Talks about engaging with the community. As opposed to getting support from the community. Using the word engage to ask questions show off something you've created collaborate with others troubleshoot something you. Or as a bug yet and just say hi to introduce yourself. And then it says at the bottom of it that bug reports should still be. GitHub issues, but for the rest start here and get the conversation going. So, no, there's. Oh, go ahead. Their thing is they really don't say the word support. And that's that's kind of. One thing I do want to draw people's attention to that I actually agree with is if you look at the sentence second sentence. On their community page. They say we prefer it over slack because people can more easily join in on conversations over time and find answers to their questions. That's actually something that I agree with and so when you mentioned that there was an emphasis to move people over to slack. That's always been sort of my concern is that slack it it just flows so fast and people will ask the same questions or there isn't. An institutional knowledge that gets built up or a community knowledge that gets built up on slack. So just something to think about. I'm just going to look at what the helm site is. Yeah, it's a good point. I'm just trying to see what helm has because helms the other one. I think it's helm.io. Oh and they just use the discussion section so that's interesting so Porter just uses the discussion section of GitHub of their GitHub repo. We could do that. Yeah, because that's sort of what Vadim was directing folks to use anyway. So instead of pointing people to the Google group or pointing people to black, we could point them to the discussions, which would allow things to get tagged. It would allow questions to be listed as answered or not answered, etc, etc. Here's the here's the other one. And again, they, I'm just looking here to see if I can get the. Yeah, this is so simple. Yeah, but as simple as good, you know, it's this I think this is generated from GitHub. I'm not sure. You see their community link for helm goes to their discussion section or actually, well it goes to their issues, but it's still it's it's yeah, much less of a hurdle than joining the slack. Yeah.  Okay, cool. Thank you. Cool. All right. I'm. So those and compared to the cloud native toolkit site, which I really like. Like if you look at helm docs, or even docs dot okay D dot IO, they have that, that same. Same look and feel as your site does for that native so. For the cloud native toolkit. So there's a distinction between how we structure docs and how we create a welcoming landing page. That's easy to navigate. So that's I think what I tried to do with okay D dot IO is create that welcoming landing page and then push people to either docs dot. Okay D dot IO, which is the, you know, pretty good stuff, but not great. And, you know, do that. So the cloud native toolkit. Look and feel is for me is kind of docs heavy. But if you can customize that the landing page to look more like. Elm or the Porter page, then. You know, Bob's your uncle and we're happy with that. Yeah, I mean, we could even take the CSS. It's on okay D dot IO and put it within the landing page. What are the steps that would be needed to set up for Brian to set up an example and for us to get DNS to point to it.  Yeah, I mean, the way we did it for the cloud native toolkit is we just use GitHub pages. We've got a C name redirect into beta. So if you go to beta dot. That's exactly what you get you go to get GitHub repo that uses GitHub pages. We use GitHub actions to actually run the script to convert the markdown to the static site. I'm totally fine with it. It needs to still have the footer on it and some of the branding with the panda and stuff like that. That we have on the okay D dot IO site and then Diane needs to be trained on it. But the more we can have something that's not like the YAML base. And when you see the CSS, don't yell at me. I mean, what I can do is I can have a go at just creating a get repo in my own personal. Have a go at creating that landing page, putting the docs behind it and happy to invite other people in if they want to play around with it as well. And we can set up a beta site. And then when we're happy within the docs working group, you can then sort of communicate it to the wider working group and get their feedback and And then it would be when we get to that point, Will Gordon or Jerry Fala can do the redirect for the DNS for us as we need it done. I don't think they will, they will not be disappointed to lose having to maintain the site with me. The OpenShift Common site is the same framework and so is project quay.io. So those are the three sites that I have been given the keys to the kingdom for trying slowly with commons to do something similar to what you're doing. But it's probably going to end up in Drupal, which is what it started out seven years ago as. Okay. Well, I mean, the great thing about this is you can just let GitHub actions do everything for you. So a push means that there is no maintenance once you agree a push the site auto generates and publishes itself.  Okay, I'll take a look at that to see what I can do. Thank you very much. And let's can we formalize your email so that we're not going back to the email like maybe put it as an issue or something like that in the or a discussion item in the in the OKD repo or in the. So, if you do that, then that way we're not digging for an email thread and we can actually like break it down and assign people and things like that. And again, this is me not quite knowing where I should have put it. No, no, no, it's it's it was a great start and we just go from there. Yeah. Yeah. And you've been doing great stuff contributing by the way, this is very helpful. Discussion item or an issue. Let's do it as a discussion item. I think because then that that that does that again puts it where we put our money where our mouth is say where we want people to go for community stuff. And then we can work through all of that. And yeah, that's that would be a great start. And I'm looking forward to getting off editing YAML files. All right, do we have anything else that we need to cover? It seems like we got a lot of work ahead for us. And, and Jamie ping me when you get a moment free in your schedule and we can walk through the Google group thing and see if we can figure it out if you can't if you don't have permission. One, I have to get you permission and two, I will just do it on the fly. I'm sure there is a you can Google it how to fix that. Thanks. All right, folks. Thanks. All right, take care. Bye bye. Take care. Bye.


There is a need for a regular eye test in order to detect and treat glaucoma before it enters the danger zone. These were words from experts as the world marks Glaucoma Week and Plus TV News Health correspondent Mgozika Hachichi has more in this report. Each year, the world glaucoma week adopts a common theme to observe the initiative. This year's theme is the world is bright, save your sight. This brings to fall the need for citizens to take responsibility and good care of their eye to prevent vision impairment and irreversible blindness caused by glaucoma and other blinding eye conditions. This initiative puts spotlight on glaucoma as a leading cause of preventable irreversible blindness worldwide. However, so many people are on a way they have the disease or may not have access to much need care. This is Bethesda home for the blind. Some visually impaired students tell us the story of how the silent thief stole their sight away. Meet Nathaniel Nduque, a 200-level visually impaired student of the University of Lagos, who wasn't born blind. We started, let's say about 10 years ago, when I was working with Jilosbegan and Gila PLC as a subcontractor. So that is when I started noticing the slight change on my sight. So just like that, I started going from one eye clinic to another. That's when they now confirmed it to be glaucoma. Christopher is seeing heart similar experience in Nathaniel. He used to believe that blindness affect older people until he was cut up with a blindness in his early 20s. I used to pay people to take me out. Before you take me out, people demand money from me. They ask me for money. I'll pay you. I don't have that money to pay them. They feel that embarrassment and everything. So now challenge on the road and everything. Their eye condition isn't stopping them from improving and working towards achieving greater visions. I passed through the craft class, so I learned how to make bead otherwise. So before I now move to the jump class, where I start for jump, so there have been a lot of improvement. Who would ever believe that a blind person can still go to school? You can bring any computer to me now. I will operate it the way you operate a computer. There's no phone. I can tell you that even myself now, I can challenge you now. Let's make it a phone. There's nothing you can do on phone I cannot do. With over 15 years of experience as an optometrist and an eyewitness promoter, Rose Azike speaks on how to reduce the risk of developing glaucoma. Now, number one is the family history of glaucoma. If your mother, your father, or someone in your family has glaucoma, there's a likely chance your risk of getting it is high because it's hereditary. That's number one. Then two is age starting from age 40. People that age 40 and are built at an increased risk of getting glaucoma, then other things are eye injury or colatrauma. She wants the government at all level and private organizations to create an awareness about glaucoma while advising regular checks of the eye. Ngozika or high chest class TV news.

Welcome back. It's still the breakfast and plus TV Africa. We're here to talk about set to talk about the fintech sector in the country, of course It's been a past an industry that has seen a lot of growth in recent times massive growth in Nigeria's fintech space It's said to be amongst the best performing in Africa today And we're glad to say joining us on the breakfast this morning to discuss the prospects of Nigeria's Fintech sector and indeed a forthcoming fintech summit that call it the fintech summit we have the head of growth of Techpoint Africa Christopher Amelie and of course the senior editor Techpoint Africa Kolaoli or Lua Nifemi Joining us on the program this morning Lady and gentlemen good morning to you and thank you very much for your time Thank you All right. Can you hear me or Lua Nifemi? All right, fantastic Let's talk about the fintech space in Nigeria. It's said to be amongst the best performing in Africa. We've heard about things like fintech unicorns and Norvat For those who want to really understand what we're talking about. Let's start from the basics What exactly is fintech? I think we'll start with you Christopher. What exactly is fintech? Okay. Thank you so much for that Fintechs are financial service companies that help People and Nigerians and Africa's to include them into the financial services the way we know banking and and People being included in financial services in the past was imagine you have someone from a remote village who wants to Be included in the financial services in the country The only way they could do that was through the banks, right? You have to go open a bank account and then when you needed to We draw your money or even have a complaint and all of that you have to go into the bank But recently we've seen innovation in that space and these are the kind of companies that we call the fintechs companies that bringing one financial service or another to help individual companies and the likes to Participate in financial activities without any is something like me Before if I needed to save up money or the likes I needed to do it through the bank But right now there are companies that can help me do that From my house in the comfort of my home and I'm able to probably open an account and run any kind of financial Service that I need to run be loan Whatever I need to do and these are the kind of things that fintechs are doing in this space. Thank you so much interesting alone if I mean Christopher's pictures, you know painted a very interesting picture for us to understand them for our listeners So what we mean when we talk about fintechs and I can put a word financial and technology together Some years ago. It was pretty difficult for any business person in Nigeria to have a An API let's call it that an API On their website or some sort of point-of-sale Link, you know where you could just click and then pay a merchant on his or her website From the comfort of your phone you have to apply to a particular company in the country You had to go through a lot of Checks and they had to pay a lot of money to get that link, you know on your website or whatever platform that people could Pay to you. I'm not going to mention names now and then some young dudes came in and said no We're going to make it easier. I think the word if we use is democratize We're going to make it easier for people to just just for free for free or just for little money get a link Where it can they can share the people for people to pay them online I recently I saw I saw that this this Bermoth of a fintech company, which was like the only player now is is telling people, you know You can come and get the same service for next to you know free almost free What would you say about this this revolution, you know this democratization of the financial technology space in Nigeria? Although any family, okay. Yes Yes, yes, we can yes Yeah, so um I think we should see this coming right the main goal of any Technological solution is to make life easy And I will take the instance of saving money What would have done to save money in the past is probably take your money to the bank try to tell her go to the Front of the cashier and drop your money Then you're told that your money is in your back account or do tricks Wait for one but a larger in quotes. It is collect all to come to your house and collect it They need to take note it down on a sheet of paper But the east that fintech is bringing is to make sure that somebody that Does this want to go to the bank for instance or someone that doesn't feel that their money is safe with a truth correct Collect all and pick up their phone go on a platform and drop their money move their money from their back account And move it to another wallet and it is safe there So democratizing is something that would definitely come as much as we Celebrate technical advancement. This are the kind of things that it will drink And it is what you expect if you want many people to accept these services But it is supposed to be a type able to everyone even though the ways of financial inclusion is still kind of low But to a large extent more people are getting Included and it's even best Interesting because some of these technical services are also including people that are not connected online They make use of agents now agents goods goes to the field goes to the market places of people that use feature phones Go to villages and they help them to open accounts They now serve as intermediaries between those to be one of the account and the people are doing the services So in a way they are including these people such that it for instance a Person of those they have a back account, right? It wants to ask for a look a person that That person is in this working with an agent for a platform, right? You can always go to that platform and that platform can help them generate a transaction Like it's a national history that it can prevent to get through So that's the interesting part many people that would have been excluded naturally because of the prospects because of the level of Let's say of the level of exposure that they have are now being included because of this Services, so it is something that is good to celebrate Interesting interesting a crucifer we've seen I mean huge influx of Funding in in this sector we hear that we have what we call the unicorns in Africa and The majority of the unicorns you have in Africa are from Nigeria. I Wanted to speak to the potential the impact or speak about the impact of of Nigeria the performance of Nigerian startups as far as the African Ecosystem is concerned when you talk about fintech startups. Why is Nigeria performing so well? What other things in the country are not going well? so Thank you so much for that question we have the numbers and Naturally, I mean Nigeria so I will tell you that Nigerians are really really innovative We have really really young people who are Really able to do great stuff, right? For any business one thing you want to also look out for is the fact that if I open this business was like Total available market, right? If you start in Nigeria, we have the numbers We are the The country with the largest number of people population in Africa, right? And we an average Nigeria is also not if you're afraid to try out new things I remember the first time I encountered a company like pigivness In Right the first time I had that conversation with the cousin of mine I said I have this app where I put my money and I save it in it and my money there The person went oh what if your money gets missing, right? But over time we've seen that people have embraced this a lot So I will say is number one the numbers we have the numbers if it's adopted in Nigeria Do you know put that before you even finish? Solving the problems that is in Nigeria and say I want to scale and go to other parts of Africa You have been able to do something great So the number is there and the willingness of the people to try out new things And also the willingness of the youths to to produce and come up with new innovation, right? That's what I think is thriving and then Yes, there's the part of policies and and the likes, but we can see with the passing on of the national Nigeria startup view that even that is something that we are all Looking at and saying how do we get better in this? So I think Nigeria is taking the lead because number one like I said the numbers We have the population if you are able to crack it here It means you can scale it in other parts of Africa Amazing amazing. I mean over one billion according to your article on techpoint.africa over one billion dollars Raised by Nigerian fintech startups between 2018 and 2021. That's that's quite a lot of money You know, so let's talk about the fintech summit by tech point Africa What is the fintech summit about why the focus on fintech and any of you can choose to answer this question? We we've called us we discovered that there's actually fintech in everything and fintech affects everything This is what I'm talking about say insurance for instance is a little on top the market It is a market. It should register on an insurance platform Like there is like an added layer where you can pay on that platform Where you can be paid on that platform although insurance platform is not a printed Platform on its own, but it has an addition of a fintech to it so another instance is a Platform when you can buy stuff Or even maybe it's not even a website. Maybe it's an Instagram account and you're an Instagram vendor But you can add something to it that can make people to pay you directly from that platform So in the real sense This fintech in everything affects everything This is what we thought in tech point Africa and since we are to understand the custodian Things like telling people about the impacts of tech in Nigeria in the whole of Africa and now even big tech affect the continent we felt that is the good sign to Explore this part of this part of technical advancement All right, since we are having a difficult And you don't even have to And you don't even have to be concerned about it because you set it down and every month And I'm not automatically deducted from your accounts and it goes into that savings But if you are retiring and 50 you have something waiting for you now imagine you second That's good for yourself So these are some of the things you want to discuss at the fintech summit We want to discuss how to build a fintech product if I develop an engineer or somebody that has a dream to have a start up we will talk about Platforms that can even help you to build those and those products for instance We are a wide-line sponsor is one liquidity and they have a platform that you can build a product from That is one of the benefits that you have to attend this event Interesting. All right, Christopher and me. Let's look at the the details of the fintech summit put together by tech point Africa Can you give us the date, you know the theme of the summit? And what we have to expect to what some of the attractions of this forthcoming tech point summit by Fintech summit rather by tech point Africa Sorry about that. So let's go the details of the summit. I mean, where and when is it holding? Where is it holding? What are some of the the the the Who are some of the participants? What should people expect from the summit? What are the themes? What will the focus be? The discussion areas in the forthcoming tech point or fintech summit rather by tech point Africa Okay, so I would take the part where you ask what people come in and what should people expect my colleague will talk more on the content part What should expect to learn and the likes What the people coming From our registration Most of the people who are coming developers people who Have software development skills who are working for one Tech company or another and one of the things that we want them to come and learn is Do you want to build a company? A fintech company like the next page stack or the next flutter wing There is a company like niffen mentioned that sponsoring the the fintech summit called one liquidity That can help you do that right who are also the other people coming one of the things niffen Me talked about my colleague talked about is the fact that Way more than ever before the average Nigerians you can build wealth, right? You can stay in the comfort of your home with an app like truth. We are able to buy US stocks Nigerian stocks It's no longer like it was ten twenty years ago Where you are not able to do this right now these things are in front of you So I believe that there are no more excuse within people who Have jobs that the end hundreds of thousands Over the years working 15 20 years and immediately they retire poverty came upon their family because there was no Things that could help them plan. So we're saying to the youth Saying to whoever you are whether you matter your age that you should come to the fintech summit not just Being able to learn in terms of content But you are also able to interact with fintech companies companies that can help you do this as a big economy worker Someone because this is something a trend we've seen in Nigeria recently. I mean Nigeria, but I will be I'm working for a company Outside Nigeria. How am I able to receive my pay right? From from the company I'm working for how am I able to receive my dollar right to make sure that I get it here in Nigeria Without all of the hassle of middleman and the likes right and these are the possibilities that fintech give Gives to us. So anybody that wants to and then if I may talk more about that people who are also looking to change career Say you are in a dead-end job and you're wondering how would this job ever even make me get anywhere in life, right? There is a vast opportunity To be one to do one or two things in the fintech space from being a product manager To being a b2b sales person to being a programmer designer the opportunities are endless, right? So yes, these are the kind of people that will be attending in terms of companies We have over 26 fintech companies that will be gracing the event on that day that have come on board It has sponsors or as exhibitors and we want people to come around to meet these companies Because one thing we've seen is in the space also trust matters, right? So you want to use an app If you take up where you're asking yourself is my money safe because when it comes to money We are all very very How do I put it now? We are all very very holding we are all holding it close to our hearts But I believe that physical interaction being able to meet these people and put a face to them and say Okay, I know someone from that company. I met someone from that company, right at that event should be able to help in navigating this this this Process so yeah, those are the kind of people that we believe should be at events And we've seen in terms of our registration and then we have the C level executives who are buying VIP tickets Because we have a high-level networking experience on that day where you are able to network with top executive in some of this Fintech company. So my colleague will talk about the content and parts of the event All right, although anything less let's get that from you What are people to expect or what are the details of the fintech summit by tech point Africa the date? Venue the time and how you know the public can get to be a part of it, you know by registering Yeah the date is 25th of November 2022 in this Saturday, we are a few days away from it And the venue is called points by Sheraton on the island Victoria Island Lagos And What do we need to do what you need to do to get a ticket it's to go to fintech Tech point dot Africa. I'll say that again Tech dot tech point dot Africa and you can get regular ticket for 4000 Naira I or you can get the VIP ticket for 50,000 Naira That's Chris mentioned there is a high level of networking that you have access to you have access to the To stay in the same room with the speakers because see level executives from from different fintech companies Leaders in the fintech industry who are going to teach you of course I'm going to teach you but then you will have Access to them to network with them and also have other conversations with them if you get the VIP ticket About the content you will have access to if you are starting if you are planning to start a career in tech And you're looking at if an industry like the fintech industry that has a lot of money that has like that Is that the vp street art that everybody wants to put your money in fintech? We want to shop out of that money You should come because we have access to it section where you will be told which Careers you can pursue in fintech What you should expect what are the skills you have to develop and it's okay You are planning to transition into fintech from another industry. You also get to know that Also, if you're planning to build a fintech group of today's another session that we tell you all the prerequisites You have to put in place Let's work that you have to have before you go into it Also, if you're looking for customer for a fintech product It's not the best place to be that is the best place to be because people that will use your product have to be Lighting about the product. So if you are just please you'll be able to make people that This is a basic knowledge about fintech and you can also pitch your products to them Let's tell them to come and use it like if you want to on both customers just come for your fintech product So that that is a lot of books and a lot more What we're going to have there Especially I try to emphasize this network thing If you want things to know what you need is another thing to not be left out Because if you don't network if you don't meet the people that will keep making you back to things that will benefit you Then you have to have the point. So you have to come a network after learning you will network make Credible contacts that will help you going forward in life All right. All right. So for those who would like to register You are saying they should head to Fintech dot tech point dot Africa Hello, any family? Yes. Okay. Fantastic. So Africa all right So, so please take take us through through just to summarize the date the venue the time Okay, like my colleague said the date is on the 26th of November That's this coming Saturday The venue is four points by Sheraton if you're driving is very easy for you to locate If you are coming by public transport All you need to do is if you're coming from the mainland or the island Just stop at the bus stop that is called Sanfie and from Sanfie Do you be able to look up and you see four point by Sheraton just come around and we'll be able to to meet you Structure of the event. There is a main event Where we have a keynote Speaker and from that keynote we want to have a little debate to find out how Fintechs affect everything That we do like like if I'm already talked about Without your business owner We're trying to to get your customers to pay you instantly instead of the hassle of probably going to the bank I'm paying you and you want him to confirm and that takes a lot of time for you To to then do your business transaction after the main event We're going to have four breakout sessions and those four breakout sessions will be going in depth for two hours In discussing each topics one of the topic is how do you view the career in fintech? Another one is how do you start a fintech startup? The other one is securing to more embedded finance integrating fintech into your startup.

Lady and gentlemen Thank you very much for your time and for giving us the information and also giving us the analysis as regards the fintech sector in Nigeria All right, all right. All right. Have yourself a nice day Christopher Thank you as well, and we'll take a break when we come back Have you ever been faced with a flight delay or flight cancellation on an airport anywhere in Nigeria? My guess is you probably have we'll look at that What's responsible for that and of course the way forward for this situation in the aviation sector? This is in general of the vision safety roundtable initiative joins us ahead. Please stay with us


So Newton's second law tells us exactly how things are going to accelerate when you apply forces to them and Newton's third law tells us that Forces always occur due to interactions between two objects and that the two forces between the two objects are always equal and opposite But why is that true? Why are these forces always equal opposite? It didn't have to be that way One force could have been bigger than the other and they could have both on average shot off in one direction It turns out that the answer to that led us to discover a very important foundational principle that's true throughout Relativity and quantum mechanics and indeed areas where Newton's laws break down and that principle was about the conservation of something called momentum If you look at Newton's second law where the force equals the mass times the acceleration And I've written the force and the acceleration as vectors because they have not just magnitude But also direction then you see that the way that the velocity changes depends on the mass And if we write for a small amount of time a very small amount of time We can write the acceleration as a change in the velocity Which is a vector because it's got direction over that small change in time And if we multiply both sides by delta t and we know that the mass doesn't change here So the mass times the change in the velocity is the same thing as the change in the mass times the velocity Then we can make two new definitions. The first is this the force times a time This is called an impulse and the second is this the mass times the velocity Which is known as the momentum and there's a very simple physical picture for these quantities The impulse is how hard a shove you give something so you can either give something a really large force for a short amount of time Or a smaller force for a longer time and still give it the same total amount of impulse The same total amount of change to its momentum and the momentum is basically just how hard something is to stop If something has a really large momentum you need either a really large force or a really long time to try and stop it And momentum turns out to be a really important very fundamental quantity, and it's usually given the symbol P And Newton's second law is even simpler if you write it in terms of momentum So the force is just That for a small amount of time and so we can see that the force is just defined as the rate of change of momentum So these two forms of Newton's second law are the same and this one does have one less symbol in it I guess, but that's not why momentum is so interesting and important The reason the momentum is so interesting important is due to Newton's third law If we have two objects a and b and they apply a force on each other And the only forces that exist where you got two objects and they apply a force on each other according to Newton's laws Then those two forces have to add up to zero So Newton's third law says that this force f1 is equal and opposite to f2 Which means that in vector terms if we add them up they exactly cancel So while this interaction is occurring and these two forces exist Then particle a is going to experience a force and it's going to accelerate in that direction and some momentum is going to change in that direction So it's going to get a change of momentum and b likewise is going to accelerate in the direction of the force And so it's going to get a change of momentum in the direction of the force And if we add up those two changes in momentum So once again, we use the capital delta to denote a change so the change of momentum of particle a Right like that and change your momentum of particle b We write like that And we know what that is because we know that the change of momentum It's just given by the impulse and so if we apply these forces for a certain amount of time The change of momentum for particle a is just the force on that particle, which is f1 times that time And the change of momentum of particle b is just the force acting on particle b times that time and of course we can factorize the time out of that and We know that if you sum up those two forces because of Newton's third law they have to add up to zero So in other words the change in momentum of particle a is non-zero and the change of momentum particle b is non-zero But the change of momentum of each of them exactly cancel and so the total momentum of the system is conserved


Welcome to The Advocate where we discuss topical issues in a no-hold bad manner. In other words, we call a spade by its name. According to Julia Hart, there's a lot of clarity in hindsight. So today, I'm taking you on the journey I have titled Things I Wish I Knew Before Now. Felix, who makes his debut today, is lecturing us on youth and leadership. Julia, who also makes her debut today, is telling us about how much our environment influences our lives and coyote wraps the show up by asking if we even know that as Nigerians we have rights. So sit back and after this break, we'll be here to dissect it all. Stay with us. Things I wish I knew before now. So here I am, taking stock and checking out things and I decided to do a listing of all I've learnt over the years. So, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride with me. Here goes. One, what my 18-year-old self should have known. Hmm, it's so important to have a life plan. And no, I wasn't too young and neither are you. Two, after law school and maybe before, it would have been a good idea to have a career plan. A little bit of career planning and strategy wouldn't have been so bad, right? But hey, maybe it wasn't so bad after all. Because how would I have gone from a law degree to a master's degree in international law and diplomacy to working in international media and then varying into branding and education? Anyway, you get my drift though. A little strategy would have helped my wanderlust have a path. So, get your digs on and put a strategy on that career. Ah, the one that I learnt and enjoyed and still do is meeting strangers and becoming friends. And I have a story about that even today. It's such a pleasure to walk up to strangers and leave feeling like best friends. A small tip on how to do that. Just find a way to make it about the other person. Remember, everyone likes someone who makes them feel sane. Should I share here my first full on public experience with a f***ing knife? Oh my goodness, my law school dinner. All I thought of was, how is this chicken going to be demolished with a f***ing knife? Like, how do I not pick up the chicken with my fingers? Well, let's just say I'm glad for my mother's lessons and an observant eye that quickly scanned the room. So my dear, dear, dear, grab some dining etiquette tapes so that you don't bump on your next business lunch. See me now. It's hard to believe I was terribly shy at some point, but I was painfully so. But a few lessons on how to build my confidence straighten me out. I do hope that you are also doing some stock-taking because life in Nigeria is hard. But it can definitely be a bit different when you look at your life and all you are where and can become. So like me, maybe you want to ask yourself, who am I? What are my strengths, my weaknesses? What opportunities is life offering me based on where I'm coming from and what I am now? There is a proverb that says, if you don't know where you're coming from, you can't know where you're going. So yes, while the threat to life right now may be Nigeria itself, what are those things you have learnt over the years? What do you wish your 18-year-old self had known and what would you want your 70-year-old self to say about the life you lived? Well, price of rice, beans and curry has increased but we are here and we all need life hacks to survive. This is my own to you today. My advocacy is, find how to mentally survive in Nigeria and become the person that you want to be. So... I guess Juliette was going to have a woman work for you. So what are your thoughts, Juliette? I think she can identify with it. Probably tell us your first experience before her knife. Well, you see, this is what I see. What you just discussed or just presented here is a subject that affects a lot of people. Of course, they're talking about the lighter side of a knife, but a lot of people go through school not knowing what they want. I have a niece who today is into catering and doing very well, baking cakes and all that.  You said, why no? I was like, I've just gone to baking school from secondary school and I started making money a long time ago. And the truth is it was bad in the 80s and the 90s when we were finishing school. But now it's worse because back then you still had people you could look up to. Maybe, you know, we're trumpets, maybe law or engineering or something. You had people you could look up to in the family. You had mentors that were mentoring you directly or indirectly. People whose lives you were shaping yours after. But right now, we don't have quote-unquote father figures anymore. So the youth are a lot more lost right now than we were during our own time. Because though you were lost, you see that people you could see around you that you want to emulate. But now I tell people that a lot of the English, it was like grammarian. It was like bogus. So we use it wrongly for a long time.  We picked some of these words from music. We picked it from movies. But now, I don't know where they're going. I know that this is the general viewpoint that people hold about how things are worse. But then at the same time, I sort of feel like maybe back then when we were growing older, our parents also felt that things, the older ones felt this as well. I'm sure that somehow, because I was having a discussion, interesting today about a few things. But I feel like there's still area of hope. And I feel that rather than us continuously talking about how things are worse or they're getting bad or like young people don't know what to be, maybe we should start shining the light on how they will actually find their own pathway. Change is the only constant thing in life. And I think Juliet may have some views on this as well actually. So Juliet, what are your thoughts? I mean, this was very profound. I was actually lost in the entire text. I was just like, wow, the context of the lesson was very profound and it was very clear. Where you're coming from actually helps where you're going to. It was so, so, so out and it resonated with me. But one thing I also know that people should look at is determine where they are going to. Where are you going to? Where do you want to be? We just go through life without planning, without like an idea on the final destination. I think the educational system helped us to think like that. I think this is my opinion because for some reason you just don't do a lot of things. You get into primary one. You finish school. The school pushes you here and there. You do lessons. You get into the university. Everything just seems to be automatic. Then you graduate. And it becomes what next?  The place is not safe because there's no more enabler like the school system helps. So you've been sport for like 12, 15 years on automatic growth and there is no plan. Very true. But what I tell people is you have to define your destination. What do you want? I know the country has issues. We all agree. But in this rut, people are still successful. Very true. What are they doing differently? And do you know that is one motivation? That's one thing that pushes me. What are your own thoughts? My thoughts, I agree with what you said but I will slightly differ. What you said is systemic.  You think the socratic distance and examine life is not what you live in. You go into adult world. Think about your life in retrospect. Just like what you're trying to say.  Environmentally centric. Environmentally centric. That is your way of the environment. And then you see like feedback mechanism in engineering. You take back your errors. Take it internally. Internalize your mistake. Learn from your mistake. Move on. And write your script. The future is a script. Write it out. What you're saying now, I agree with both of you. Strangely. Let me start with you. I'm going to use a very simple example. Something happened recently. My wife took a course online. After she did the course, she submitted the assignment. There was a feedback. She still worked on the assignment because it was an assignment-based course. Certification. She worked on the assignment. Interestingly, they gave bullet points of what she was to write. I'm like, why are you giving the answer already? But you know what I noticed? By the time she started answering those things, she discovered things she never knew. Because she now had to research. Do new findings to answer. Though they've given her all the points. But the amount of work that went into it made her stronger in that course. Compared to ours where you don't tell you where to study and we feel we are being so strong. You do all your career and drop and all that. Coffee and pastry. I don't understand. I don't understand that. In the long time. In my school it was coffee and pastry. That's one man. On the other hand, where I tend to agree slightly, we use that. It's good to have a retrospective view at life. However, you can only be retrospective if you have an understanding of where you are. And that's where we're getting it wrong. A lot of people don't even listen. A lot of people don't understand until it's too late. When they're in their early 30s and they realise what brings about the understanding, it's not an introspection. It's the reality that everybody around me is gone ahead of me. I'm 30. I haven't done this. Wow. So then you start looking at life. So there has to be an awakening element.  All through life. Like, I mean, the school, unfortunately, is the school that does that for us. But if you're able to develop the brain to the extent that you have M and E mechanisms around us, you know, exactly, then we'll be able to grow better. And you've got to listen. We're not going anywhere. I was just telling someone recently that listen, we seem to focus a lot more on entertainment. Okay, I think we haven't had discussion earlier on. There are no more values. When I'm buying exercise books for my kids and I see a sports person on a celibate, I'm like, no. Give me one with somebody wearing suits. You know, there's time for everything. Well, I can say something quickly. I remember when my son was in primary school. They told him to write their top ten celebrities or popular people. Famous people. Famous people. So I was really interested to see who he considered famous. He was in primary school. He had Justin Bieber. He can imagine. He can imagine. But there was Mandela and Jesus. And eight people. I didn't know some of the people. But I knew there was Bieber. There was Michael Jackson. There was Nicki Minaj. And I was like, did nobody have success with mom? There's also success. So which is in line with what you don't know? Anyway, people, this has been quite an interesting one and I believe that the process of becoming successful is just as important. So up next is Felix after the break. Stay with us.
