Hello everybody. I hope you all are having a good time. My name is Ahmed Khan. I am the Senior Technical Manager at Verizon Communications. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hyperledger Global Forum organizers for giving us the opportunity to present our use case. Today I have my colleague and partner in crime joining all the way from India. He is sitting over there laughing with us. His name is Rangesh, joining from India to share our experiences on blockchain journey. We have a very exciting and packed topics for this session. We will start with giving you a quick overview on the use case that we have implemented. We will go with a brief summary on the pain points and how blockchain came to our rescue. We will also showcase the future state of how we have used the blockchain technology in implementing this solution. Finally, we will wrap up the session with a short Q&A. As you may all know and agree that when partners do business, there is always chances of disputes popping between them as one partner does not agree to the decisions made by the other partners. Same situation here. When we started analyzing our use case, we saw that the discrepancy that happens between the partners is regarding the payments. The payments that needs to get cleared between the partners do not get cleared because of one party do not agree to the terms and conditions laid out resulting in the disputes rather than the payment. So what happens is whenever there are disputes that are coming out of this disagreements, it results in manual labor intensive work for both of the parties to start investigating and trying to resolve it. What we have seen is that in the organizations where all in the strategy mode trying to figure out how to resolve these disputes more efficiently, faster and with higher accuracy. And it also always resulted in 100% of the time they were addressing the disputes that are coming out of this solution. It's a heavy time consuming labor intensive work on both parties as they have to tap into their enterprise systems to find the source of the truth. And just to let you know that during this time, the disputed amount which was the key that we have started, the payments that we have started, the disputed amount for both of the parties now limbo because the parties do not agree to the terms and conditions causing huge losses in the cash flow or the revenue. So what we have done is we have done the throw analysis on and went deep into the underlying problems to see what are the three key pain points that are causing disputes. The number one we found out that it was a lack of visibility of the data. The data is hidden from partners when making the key decisions. Number two, lack of trust between partners, discrepancy in understanding the way we make the decisions. Multiple versions of the truth. The data is varies between how each partner stores that data. So taking this into account, these pain points and the issues that are happening in the dispute management, we went and did the analysis using different technologies, different blockchain technologies to see how it can help to dissolve this pain points. And also how we can do that, how we can change the way we do business. Yeah, so like I mentioned, the challenge is this, when we write rules, when we write rules to resolve the dispute, the data should never be owned by a single partner. So it has to be shared. The only option that you have is you distribute, even though you distribute the data to partner, there is no guarantee that the owner is not tampering the data. So when we think about the important aspect of blockchain, it does provide sharing of data and decentralized and distributed nature. Also, it has the property of immutability. This means that if something is going to change, it will all get tracked to the blockchain. It is going to give the trust to the partner saying that, hey, if something has changed, you could always come and look into it and you could always check who changed it. Plus, one important factor is smart contract, where we had the cushion to write a shared smart contract or shared business logic and distribute to our partner. What this has led is winning of trust. So we established blockchain as technology solution for the problem that our mother clearly laid out. Number one, sharing of data and both partners should get convinced that data is stamp approved and also it is not single parties owning the data. So the only solution to all of this is blockchain and that's the reason why we choose blockchain. Now with that said, there are again different versions of blockchain. One is public, one is private, the other one is mix of both. You call that as hybrid. So this is the standard flowchart that we often use or more enterprise often use to decide whether they need blockchain or not. So this particular slide helped us to determine especially for our use case to choose private blockchain. That being, we want to do the blockchain solution in a closed manner. We don't want any other parties to get involved and we only wanted intended parties to join the network. So that is one common use case for private blockchain and that's the reason we use private blockchain. So this is this flowchart, right? You could always go back and refer to the business problems that you guys have and always go on effort here and say, do you even need a blockchain? And if you need a blockchain, you could choose either public, hybrid or private. And I just to add to that point, what we also have done is that before even we went into whether we go with the private or the hybrid, we have also done some people sees using different technologies, blockchain technologies to see if that fits the solution for us. The problems that we have laid out to be used those problems to see whether those problems can be fitted into those technologies and how technology can help to leverage and minimize the biggest endpoint that we currently have is the dispute. How we can minimize those disputes and completely remove it from the solution. So using those things, after going through those different technologies, finally, landing up into the hyperledge of fabric. So this talks about why we choose hyperledge of fabric. Even if you look at our private blockchain, there are there are many like big code up or quantum, there are there are many private blockchain that suits the need. The reason that we chose hyperledge of fabric is it is open source and we see a lot of contribution right from 2015. And this and hyperledge of fabric is tailor made for private blockchain and also it only lets people who wants to join the network and it's not open like the public blockchain. Plus as well, IDM and other major players have kicked in the hyperledge of fabric in shape. So that was also a major confidence for us to choose hyperledge of fabric. And as well, you have the concepts or notions of channels where you segregate different data corresponding to different partners. So that was one of the main reasons we chose hyperledge of fabric. Though it does not support crypto economic, I think even hyperledge of fabric is working on it and there are there are notions to introduce crypto currencies out there, but still we don't we did not really require for our use case. So hyperledge of fabric was the best private blockchain network that existed and we chose hyperledge of fabric for the solution or the business problem that earlier we mentioned. So this slide more gives you a reason why we chose hyperledge of fabric. With that said, once we had the blockchain implemented, the solutions were all together different and the results that we got out of blockchain is all together different. So I'd like to speak on this. So you heard from Rangesh about the different flowchart of how we have selected the blockchain technology and the first step was do we even need the blockchain? Second thing is what blockchain technology should be used. Finally, when we selected the hyperledge of fabric, now the main point came is in the design sessions of how we will implement the solution. As you heard in the first initial of the session that the pain points of the whole current scenario regarding the lack of visibility of the data, lack of transparency, trust and the multiple versions of truth between partners, we wanted to address those pain points for any implementation with any technology that we're doing it. And when we started finalizing the design for hyperledge of fabric, we wanted to address these key areas. The difficult, the most important part of that whole issues were regarding the data, how the data is being stored, how the data is being reviewed by each partners. So the first thing what we have done is to bring that data set onto the blockchain network. Of course, after establishing and setting up the infrastructure peer-to-peer network between us and the partners, securely connecting through the VPN channels and then exposing that data from our side as well as from the partner side so that we can view that data as a single source of truth on to the blockchain. That itself resulted in the minimization of the disputes. Second thing as what Rangesh was mentioning about the smart contracts, we worked with the different partners in writing some of the hardcore business rules agreeing upon by both the partners, by the partners and by us to see that the rules that are going to be implemented on blockchain and in addressing any of those disputes proactively should be agreed upon by the partners. Then only those rules have been implemented on the smart contracts so that now we started building the trust between each other rather than we are just disputing or rejecting those disputes based on our assumptions, based on our rules. Now, after writing those business rules jointly created, both the partners agree what is the outcome of those disputes going to be proactively or even after the disputes that are going to be created. So all of this resulted in the biggest thing is all of this resulted in reducing the disputes. If you all remember that in initial we mentioned that we wanted to get rid of the disputes or completely eliminate or reduce the disputes out of the solution. So by providing the visibility of the data by writing jointly business rules and making the blockchain as a single source of truth so that all the parties can refer to that dataset rather than looking at their specific views of the data, we have eliminated 90 or 90 plus percent of the disputes from the solution. That resulted into the improved cash flow. Till now with those 90 percent of the disputes that were stuck in the limbo, the cash flow was stuck and was not getting released. Now the revenue started coming in, cash flow was easily available because of the disputes that got resolved. The third part is that the transparency that came into picture. Initially when we were doing business with the partners, there was difficulty that there was no transparency because each partner is assuming their own version of truth. Now by putting everything onto the blockchain, making it as a single source, the transparency it came into picture. Last but not the least, we have started building the trust between the partners, which was completely gone in the BAU environment. Now by putting all of these things, the trust got established and we started doing a different way of business. Yes, so to add to Hamath's right, so with this solution, with blockchain-enabled dispute management, what we have done is, we have prevented the disputes even coming in. The reason is the data is shared, you have the smart contract well before you even raise dispute. The smart contract sitting there in the middle would always flag you saying, do you even want to raise a dispute or not. So that is one of the biggest advantages with the solutions that we implemented and blockchain was one of the main reason and then smart contract was one of the main reason that enabled us to provide such a solution. You could think about the system where partners may not even raise a dispute. The smart contract is going to collaborate for you saying, yeah, this is not even a dispute but you are raising it. So there is no point in raising it. So such kind of power block solution was achieved with blockchain. And yeah, so with this said, I will move on to the technical stack. The reason that we brought this in here is, it is important that you choose blockchain but it is equivalently important that you choose the right technical stack. All the nodes, all the network that appear out and connect should be available all the time, right? Else your transaction is going to get trade. So it is important that you choose right tech stack. So this is the tech stack that we chose and we had good success with it. So we are sharing this piece of tech stack with the team. So to get started, we use typology of fabric and then we also explored with Composer even though now Composer is depreciated, we even started using Composer before it when it was released. So we explored with all kind of stack. And then right now we are using typology of fabric, FabricCA, and then Bitta and Koush TBS database. Now when it comes to container and orchestration, it's Docker and Kubernetes hosted over AWS. So it is important you have Docker or Kubernetes running. That's because the nodes have to be available all the time. And the Docker or the ordering servers were Kafka and Zookeeper. And now onto the left, you see the cloud automation configuration. So that's AWS, Ansible and Jenkins. So these are all the standard practices that we use, but these are all the recommendations that we give, but it's not that mandatory that others use it. And now when it comes to SDK and chain code, it's NodeJS and GoLang as well. And now interesting fact is the application you guys, you know, you call that as Dapp or the frontend. And all the data that comes into the blockchain, we have a centralized place called as data ingestion layer. Now we do all the massaging of data in this centralized place, and we just keep it as neat as possible for partner to look into it. We do all kind of massaging, data massaging work with Spring Boot and Java. And we just insert that to the blockchain. With that said, that is also important aspect on the data size or the data volume. As you go and deploy the solution and production, right, the data that you see is going to get a grow proportionally with time. So we had different on chain and off chain solutions like caching or a client, you know, we really did explore few of them to make sure that we don't get hunched by data. And that is also important aspect for people who are trying to adopt blockchain in their enterprise organization. And I guess just to add one more thing here, if you notice on this slide, the right side of the slide is where it's common to both the partners for us and for any other partner when we are doing when we are implementing the Hyperlegia Fabric or this blockchain solution. On the left side that you see the cloud and the UI and other stuff can be changed, can be used by the different technologies by the partners. And in our cases, we have not only used the AWS in our implementation, but also used different hybrid versions of the cloud platform. Whereas we are on the AWS, the other parties may be on a different cloud environment. So just wanted to segregate that the right side is common to both us and partners. It has to be same. The left side can be various can have some variations between whatever the industry might that they want to choose separately. Thanks. With that said, I think we just have five more minutes. So should we take up questions? Sure, please. Go ahead. Okay. So an anonymous user has asked what is Hyperlegia Fabric in simple terms. Okay. So Hyperlegia Fabric is one of the blockchain framework that exists for you to implement blockchain solutions. So that is more suitable for private blockchain. In simple terms, Hyperlegia Fabric is a framework that enables you to implement private blockchain. Okay. I think Karthik has asked what is the rationale for selecting a framework such as Fabric or Iora, etc. What is the evaluation method that you used? Okay. That's a good question. So if I go back to my slide, so the evaluation method, there are two things Karthik. So if you look at this slide, right? So this is for us to choose either public or hybrid or private blockchain. So we decided that it is private blockchain. And like you asked, why not Kordak, why not Quorum or why not Iora or any other such private blockchain? The reason that we used Hyperlegia Fabric is that we started this way long back two and a half years before. The reason that we chose Hyperlegia Fabric is number one, we had the entire business logic, we want the entire business logic to be driven by smart contract. And Hyperlegia Fabric had Golang as one of the powerful tool to write smart contracts. When we evaluated with Kordak or any other such framework, it did have the capacity but the reason that we chose is it was more modular. And Kordak, you could not even call Kordak as a blockchain, it is a DLT. And also one important aspect is the partner's choice as well matters here. We peered out to our partner and partner should also agree to the same framework. So the reason that we used Hyperlegia Fabric was it all came out of heavy discussion that we had and we chose Hyperlegia Fabric. I'll let how much do I add in it. It's a combination. Yeah, good point to Rangesh. It's just a combination of all of the things that Rangesh mentioned. And finally, Karthik, before even we lay out or finalize what architecture, what technology that we have to use to have the blockchain implementation, then we need to have that partner alignment. This was the first step in aligning partners on agreeing upon the technology down to the level of the patches and to the versions of what we will use, what are those are the common components that we will use together. And this was one of the also aspect of agreeing upon with the partners. And I think Karthik has one more question. So he has asked, how do you manage this office up to date because in this blockchain world, in this blockchain world, things keep changing on a daily basis. Yeah, ideally, you know, but it's again, you should not see blockchain as different stack. It is just like a tool that enables you to achieve the features, right? It's again, like Java or partner framework. So as you wish, you could go ahead and upgrade it. But again, switching from one blockchain framework to other blockchain framework is not that we recommend because, you know, it is all intensive operation, you got to be in from start, right? So. And I'll look with that to Rangesh. One more thing Karthik that we have also addressed in this is not only upgrading or keeping up with the blockchain software updates, but as you know, when Rangesh mentioned that we are on the AWS platform, we also have some governing policies in the cloud environment. For example, the rehydration of the environments, every three or four months, we do the AMIs rehydration. So keeping all of this while the environment is in production is a task for itself. But yes, we are able to maintain all that hydration of the, not only the non-blocking components, but also with the blocks and comforts. Yeah. And Franklin has asked, can we replace the agreements written in natural language? Yes. So, so eventually all the agreements, here we call it as business rules. So smart contracts, you know, can be smart contract is a programming language. You could translate your business logic into business logic into boards. That is feasible. And Franklin, when we say that the smart contracts are the business logic, these were the business logic that we used to own it previously. Now what we have done is that we have created those business laws logic in agreeing upon with the partners that, hey, if it is one plus one equal to two, then both needs to agree that it is really two, not one plus one equal to 11. So that's how we wrote those business logic and deployed it onto the blockchain. So next time when any transaction that comes in and this smart contracts gets executed, both partners and us, we know that what logic has been written and how the outcome is going to be. And Dibayesh has asked us, are you able to incorporate inter-carrier SLG, service level guarantee? So how much do you want to take this? I think this is one together a different use case, right? The service level guarantee and inter-carrier SLG. Yes, we are still looking into that, Dibayesh, we have not incorporated those yet into our use case. The use case that we have done is mostly related to the agreeing upon some of the business rules on the way we have the payments or the terms of those payments that we need to pay off some of those transactions. Yeah, I think we are two minutes over the time. I think we can end this with a thank you note. Thank you so much, everybody. Thanks to Hyperledger again, Hyperledger Global Forum organizers and the moderators and all the staff that helped us to make this event successful. I appreciate all the help and thank you to the audience for putting a good lively questions and looking forward to another session. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. I mean, thanks for the opportunity. Thank you for all the coordination that Hyperledger fabric team has put in. And thanks for the audience as well. See you soon on the next session. Thank you. Thank you.


The BSU men, they look to bounce back in game two against Lake Superior State. No score, second period of Lakers get on the board, Colin Sockman from the point. Max Hummets redirects, visitors up 1-0. Beavers think they'll answer in the third, Aaron Miller fires the risker in. But the Stripes say no goal goal interferes, take another look. This one pretty close, let you make the call on that one. BSU kept the pressure on late, the Lakers would get the empty netter. Diego Cuglietter the dagger, tough weekend for the Beavers, pair of two nothing losses. They still sit fourth though in the conference standings.

Over the past few years, antivascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF, therapy has become a standard treatment for neovascular H-related macular degeneration, AMD. During this time, treatment strategies have evolved from a monthly dosing schedule to individualized regimens. This paper will review the currently available antivagent and evidence-based treatment strategies. This article was authored by Jacqueline Alcovac, Stephen G. Shorts, Harry W. Flynn and others.


As we know, forestry crime can have a devastating impact both on the economic, social and environmental aspects affecting a country. It can also undermine a country's natural resource governance and prevent them from achieving their global sustainable goals. Norway's increased financial support for Interpol, the UNODC and the Norway Centre for Global Analysis is enabled us all in the global community to take a more holistic approach to fighting forestry crime. It provides more sound platform for countries to interact with and more avenues to be successful. Thanks to countries like Norway and their invaluable support, Interpol has seized over $1.5 billion of forestry products over the past five years. That's an incredible result and surely would have a positive impact against criminal networks all over the globe.


Coalitional game theory is an approach to modeling strategic situations that stands in contrast to what's usually called non-corporative game theory. And in fact, coalitional game theory is often called corporative game theory. The names are a little misleading and I'll get back to that in a moment, but let's first speak about what situations does coalitional game theory try to model. You may recognize these two fine looking gentlemen. The person on the left is David Cameron, Prime Minister of Britain. And to his right as we look at it, his left as they sit is Nicholas Clegg, his coalitional partner. Now, here are two political rivals who nonetheless come together and presumably there's a reason. There's something where they can accomplish together that they cannot accomplish alone, in particular in this case, command a majority in the parliament. And so that's a classical example where a coalition formed. In fact, we usually, when we think about coalition, we think about political parties. But coalitions form not only in politics, they certainly form in business. So the wind coalition is coming together of a number of firms in the United States to promote the joint agenda of wind energy, turbines and such. Again, these are companies who are competitors. And nonetheless, they feel that together there's things that can do that they can't do alone. For example, lobby government established standards and things of that nature. Now, coalitions aren't always among organizations or parties or firms or heavyweight things. We as individuals routinely come together to accomplish things together, whether it's to enter in marriage or, for example, build a house. When you have a carpenter, an electrician and a painter that come together, they together can accomplish something that they can't on their own.  It could be, for example, that the framer of a construction crew is irreplaceable, but electricians are easy to find and one could easily replace. And presumably, when they get paid for the house they build, that should be reflected in how they divide the payment. And so there's a competition of both cooperation and competition here. And so for that reason, calling these cooperative games, as the common term is, is a little misleading, just as much as non-corporative game theories misleading as well, because, for example, if you look at the normal form game, the canonical representation of a non-corporative game, one can easily describe a completely harmonic situation of so-called team games or common payoff games where the interests of the agents are completely aligned. So both non-corporative game theory and coalitional or cooperative game theory model both competition and coordination. The essential difference is the basic modeling unit. In coalitional game theory, the basic modeling unit is the group, the team, and what they can accomplish, and the analysis is based on this basic modeling.


Kydo? Kydo Diana Ame? Ame? Shizwan Huarese Dem You mean she is still playing those games? Udim n chimezey ma ne Mha uduba ya yakuwa ukuna Dem, mze Kukuliko, always in control Undura saka bahaneOSa aeyu aizu èmbiwa Dem ya keka, pa chini wa chog puzi This is a nonsense case Come on! Why would you do that to somebody and you know it's a lie? She's lying. She's lying. We saw the lie. We'll say I'm on your side. Na tukohapa kwa shoya Andrew Kibbe and we have the legends here. The good comedian. The kings. One of the best. Yes. Not one, best of the best.  Sabato is a homo. Sabato is like now, we can't call you a legend because we don't know who you are. mames anyway manza wa chatuwanzena kibbe atwombia what inspired him to come up with this Andro kibbe um bhenzo this Kuntangavu guza booze We've already started with Street Kitchen. You already mentioned this is your first show. To unveil what is your unelekia wapini. Stand up, stand up. A lafume pool, to kuna wakimani, to kuna shiti, to kuna... Ki preza kuma niya?

Ima ubein di this way. Seza ulu kunasuali muimu muimu this. Direction ni gani, tuna take, to manza stand up apa leo, mese ma next ni ribdolet. Like what is your vision and motive of this show. The vision is to bring stand up to Africa. We have a lot of stand up comedians, but atijakwa na yo opportunity ako give us, give the raw version of what stand up really is. And I think this is where it starts. So today is a big night for me. We start tonight. So me and this team and we shall keep growing this team with like-minded individuals. How far we can go but our next top. April 2nd we shall be in Eldoret. Ataka to Taipigia, kwa stadia to Taipigia. But April 2nd to Koeldoret. Then after that we shall go to Kitale, after Kitale, Kusumsut. Kusumsut. So we are just refining our craft. Atawest pokot pia. By the way, kuna watu? Ima ubein gani ako. Maybe, Andrew Kipe, do you have plans of introducing some other comedians like the likes of Nasra Chumrili? Chumrili is awanka, so I'm not introducing him. But I mean, whoever is in our spirit, spiriti are being free. Without no holds bad. So that's the idea of the group and that's why I called all these people from Rabcha, Wakimani, Shiti, Niki Big Fish. I find these guys to be free spirits. Just like me. So that's what we're looking for. You just said you didn't expect to see a lot of people here. Maybe all expectations are cause it's not there. We didn't expect to have to 30. I swear I'm going to do it a bit. I'm going to say on stage, I'm going to say mungu and go. Jesus gives us hard ons every morning. So it's not a big deal. But yes, it has been a very successful night. And maybe for my fans who are here because I know they are really expecting to see more of these. Naleo isho imekua live. Is it going to be like kuna mahalutenda kwa ploda that these imekua live nihipo? The idea is to cut it up and use it for purposes of marketing. Because some of these things that we talked about today were very fresh. So if you can cut that up and put it out there and tell people this is a new thing that we're doing. This is where we're going. This is the beginning of a new era. It's a time to tell them how mediocre it is to say how mediocre it is to say how mediocre it is to use it. And it has reached a point that what we are going to do in the industry is to say, I'm growing, I'm finding it and when you are happy. And for the longest time to do what we are going to do maybe we are going to sponsor what we are going to do but the vision that we have is to sponsor what we are going to do for example kujatuwa pa by that's and ten is anu because we are going to say online is the future. It's not the future. It's the ecosystem. So, we are going to sponsor what we are going to do and we are going to do what we are going to do because we are going to do what we are going to do so that's the notion that both of them can support those investments still continue and you will be happening a lot. You can do this alone. You can continue online if you are on the mainstream so using online if you are watching on TV have a silver Jesus kufג vocabulary because kupa nih Local Oy via wa tkiboshllor k ما, kwaa mage maha kafiki m exposure m komme Re Side wala hivini wala There's so many other people out here When you're toer Zhuo where you know them?

I mean as a Trevor, alikwa ni li paya akuni li paya. So why would I give an interview for free?  Mungaifu paid you. I'm just saying Trevor akuni li. No, no, no, but Trevor didn't ask for an interview. But Mungaifu asked for an interview. You've never asked for an interview, you know that. No, no, you didn't ask me for an interview. The last time we talked we were talking about other things. Trudi. Trudi. Trudi. You didn't ask me for an interview. None of you motherfuckers have asked me for an interview. I would have given it to you when Eve came and she asked for an interview. I was like hey. You didn't ask me for an interview. When were we going on Friday? On Friday. She didn't ask me for an interview. She was just a punitix and she was black. What was the interview? Z. Why? I don't know. I don't know if you are a punitix. Actually in your interview with Mungaifu the words that was said to Pali and Eve said that she noticed Trevor's immaturity long time ago. You guys were too much.  Can you see my age? I don't know if I want to discuss she has a Tesla. I discuss Trevor and Mungaifu those people, come on. Be serious. Why do you choose all these major commitments in New England and Kenya but you decided to work with Nick, work with Shiti? I actually chose to work with people to have a personal relationship with. I interviewed him. I've been with him for a minute. Me and him I've been planning the longest time and when I met him I was like, Mr. Kibbe. Kibbe pia? I'm a pia to kichangia. I chose the people that I have a personal relationship with and I know people who are going to go all out when it comes to stand up comedy. Pia to kichangia yu ishu the main reason to why pia to nafanyaikitu niku vila tumesema niku onesha niku onesha wasani wenginau ko inje that akuna point unafaku pigwa na depression na unafaka sabu mefungiwa. Atu kwa sababu maybe kuna watu atu kupatia bieshara maybe ya ni Shiti tunanda naiva vileiko. Akuna point waku jiwa waku give up kwa sababu mefungiwa. So, kitu kubapia ni tunanda ni bapat from kufanya kama comedy tunna fundisha pia maapu kami wenginau. Okay, and also, kichangia is the last one. In terms of dating, yo story niku kibbe mewa kia dress pia my personal experience, this advice was to, I'm a special one naume, don't date below 30. Get money first then start getting these patients. 100% 100% I do. I do. It really makes a lot of sense that why should you date somebody you know if you're dating somebody, you're taking a responsibility. Asa when the wu kuku wu na parada 5k ma 10k maali, demi akunda wu pia kuna expensive aki utaizana na ukuli.  Puku above age na kani niku wu zwa. Ibu lidas wali aku amu zutumanizasun. What is the future of your family and of course, manda kitu apa na kwa special information about people asking you, kama where am I at, what do you need to know? I'm a citizen of the world. I'm a journalist. You can travel anywhere. You guys don't know that. I'm a journalist. I'm a journalist. So you guys need to travel. So I am here for now. I don't know what the future holds but I am very optimistic. And this is the next move for me. Africa is still hot. We are relaunching Africa in the next and we are creating a better and a bigger platform. So you'll see that happening and you'll see a lot of the things that I'm doing. So just chill. Take it easy. Aha, tumumanizahi interview. Where do you hide it? Mimi nili semele sku na kuja? Now what do you want to say much? Aha, waza kuliza, si nili semele sku na kuja? Uli nio na iyo sku nili sema na kuja? Sasa story danyu no ni uliza. Why are you asking me silly questions truly? I go where I want and I come back when I want to come. And keep it just to us. I don't want to hear it. Thank you. Thank you so much.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here's in some of scream six in this video here again today We'll be talking about the box office projection Early forecasting the new one that's come out related to scream six and what we currently could be getting potentially in March in a couple weeks when this movie debuts at the domestic box office Scream six is currently having a early prediction a new one again I'll say from box office pro to earn anywhere from 24 million to 33 million in its opening weekend Which is similar to screen fives forecast and that film ended up outperforming the projections over the MLK They in MLK day weekend that it that it dropped around it ended up doing like around 35 million So this is a wonderful thing to see so early on because tomorrow is the Super Bowl And I'm curious to see how this ad that they show will will add to the box office predictions Once all the AMC tickets go on sale because I know some of you were struggling to get AMC tickets AMC is having some issues So once that is all settled out or squared away And once the final trailer drops if at all and once the general or take a Wednesday crowd just continues to grow And they all continue to latch on to any and all projects that general or take is associated with The domestic ending prediction for the theatrical run currently is sitting at around like 54 to 80 million Domestically which isn't bad at all what we definitely would need is some of that international support like you always have had So I can imagine it made 10 million opening weekend in the UK That would be very cool that'd be very cool to see some of the competition that I know Scream 6 is gonna have to deal with It's Shazam Cree 3 and John Wick 4 so when you want to run around just talk about oh It didn't do this because of Nev Campbell not being in the movie You can't just sit there and deny the other factors the other contributing factors that I would argue are much more important that could easily Swap or swamp out or stomp out rather I should say Scream 6 at the box office if Nev Campbell was in Scream 6 These are some pretty big movies. You have a Shazam Cree 3 and John Wick 4 regardless if Nev was here or not I think that these three movies could stomp out Scream 6 if she was still a part of it So it's not all down to Nev not being in it. So when Scream 5 dropped there was really nothing around at the time besides Spider-Man all of these films that I just mentioned the three previous ones they that can slow down the box office of Because it's not all by itself like how Scream 5 was but Spider-Man no way home I would argue was bigger than all three of those competitors I just mentioned in terms of hype and look at what happened with Scream 5 still look at what it managed to do I'm just saying now granted Spider-Man was about nearly a month into its release at the time My point is depending on the factors you consider Scream 6 will be fine at the box office Even if it slows down because again movies like Shazam Cree 3 and John Wick 4 even though Cree 3 is coming up before Scream 6 These are movies that I think could potentially stomp out Scream 6 with or without Nev Campbell So it you can't just dumb it down to Nev Campbell and ignore all of these grander factors Factors that I would say they just outweigh her participation and outweigh anyone else Participating because you're talking about an upcoming superhero movie. You're talking about The third entry in the Creed series. You're talking about the fourth John Wick movie. These are some big comp This is some big competition right here. It's not just gonna all be down to oh it flop because Nev wasn't in it Just to just stop that Another thing that I want to touch on with Scream 6 before I touch on the box office lastly one more time Is Mike Shinoda who co-founded Leakin Park will have a new song featured in the soundtrack for Scream 6 Apparently what he did is he played a track for those that reached out to him and there was a certain song That was just a must-have for them. So that's our first tidbit on the soundtrack Also Kevin Williamson has chimed in on the buzz around Scream 6 once again to say that he's watched a movie around five times His partner who isn't even a big fan loves it too And he thinks that West Craven would love this film as well He shared these new comments in a recent interview from Rolling Stone But splash film put up an article with some tidbits from it I'll just leave a link to it in the description But what do you guys think about those box office predictions for Scream 6? Do you think that's realistic and again if you do some digging in Scream 5's forecast and where it ended up You'll see that this is very similar to Scream 5 So you have a similar forecast already being predicted very early on in the first movie that is not going to have Nive Campbell now after tomorrow Whatever comes from that Super Bowl ad and how much interest they were able to garner from that alone That is going to end up playing an even bigger factor into what the projections look like when we get closer to Week of release of course the word of mouth is gonna also play a factor given of what we've heard from viewer non over on Twitter Press screenings should be starting within within the next two weeks Also, that's showing that Paramount has a lot of confidence in this new movie So depending on when the embargo lifts they might actually just do the same thing as they did with five hold off on the embargo till week of release one to avoid spoilers also to not detract from any potential box office income As well the social reactions could lift the same week same day week of release Or they could lift a few weeks prior like it did last year to but we'll see what ultimately happens All of these things after tomorrow are gonna play a factor in what those final predictions look like because they have these predictions So early on mirroring what screen fives s opening predictions were like Closer to its release that tells me as we get even closer to the release if the marketing continues at the pace that it's at These numbers should even go higher Of course after after that first week they have Shazam to worry about the week after that could slow it down But it's not again all about the domestic. I feel as though I live in the States myself I know a lot of us are guilty of thinking that all that all that matters is us We are not all that matters the people Internationally they play a big factor in this too if scream six is able to let's say scream six had a budget of 50 million the reported budget apparently that's out there the rumored budget I'll say is around 35 million But I'm throwing in an extra couple or an extra few millions for the marketing budget Let's say 50 million it would need over a hundred million to break even if I'm not mistaken and that would be profitable That would give you your screen seven these movies don't cost a lot to make They need a hundred million or more and that is enough if it makes less than scream scream five And you want to and you want to attribute it to Neve Campbell? That's fair But if you're only saying it's because Neve Campbell wasn't there. That's not that's not why there's so much competition Around this movie. It's not all gonna come down to whether Neve Campbell is here or not These these the competition that's surrounding scream six would easily stomp out scream six with or without her presence But I'm pretty certain that scream six will do just fine at the box office these early predictions Mirroring again what the forecast was for screen five Now that forecast for five again that was a week of release I started seeing numbers like that or the week prior to its release. So I'm seeing this Even sooner than scream six's release having a forecast mirroring screen five So after tomorrow and after the first word of mouth comes out after the embargo lifts That should only amplify and enhance what the final predictions look like we could release Let me know just think about all of this down in the comment section below if you haven't already Of course, make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notification You never miss a video in the description. I will have links on my social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message to be there Of course to limiters any movies news or views you'd like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video

We're here on torque drift So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all of its found scripture box below Let's get to it So we decided to come back here to torque drift to do some of the events that Transpired from the Orlando event We do have a little bit of time left and that is the FD Orlando scores formula drift pro challenge So we're gonna take it to crack it this day We've tried it one quick run and we have had a 60 and that was just a quick run wrong gear And Justin knows car we need 91 in order to get that FD title scores 21 So we're gonna go try and get that we also want two FD crates So we're gonna go into this with the nofas Mustang And see what we can't do with it fourth gear Oh, I probably need to go into third first As I say, we had this we're gonna go into third first and then kick into fourth on the bank Try and get this FD challenge done here on torque drift And now I want to be on the wall like that, but hey So the nofas Mustang is actually quite fun and uh, we are doing not too too bad with the controller Still not the best and how I would like to be but we're gonna definitely give it another go And uh, try to beat this here for today FD challenge torque drift here, which else the nofas Mustang We gotta get a good entry. That's what we need That's a much better entry. That's kind of where we wanted to be Now as high as I'd like to be on the bank, but I think we're gonna stay in third gear Yeah, fourth gear was a little bit too much Taking out some of those clips, but we are Up there in points and almost that 91 on the first on that right.  This never happens on any torque drift episode if you guys know I never complete challenges When I'm recording we did complete it So if you know if the challenge complete we got the fd title as well as the two fd crates and it looks like 150 Is the up there That is insane for this leaderboard.  That's definitely uh Up there. Oh, we can watch the replay. I forgot We're gonna try it one more time and see if we can't Stay higher on the wall and try and get in the leaderboard. I doubt we're gonna get up there on leaderboard not leaderboard criteria for myself I used to be able to get high up in leaderboards when I was on mobile with My phone but now on controller not so much. So we were able to complete that challenge So that is definitely very cool that we completed that so we do have Some other things we could go do we could just go driving we could go drift rotolana in a tandem We're gonna go into tandem at osw because well with osw just ending You know, we are definitely gonna have a lot of fun with this, but I don't know what car I want to bring out You know, we'll bring out madmikes Uh bad bull we haven't driven this car In a while. So we're bringing out the bad bull for today Definitely like osw. It's a fun track. Love it in all types of games So if you guys want to keep seeing torture, make sure you follow me on all social media all the front description box below How do you guys feel about how Orlando? transpired with, you know, Justin Paul like exploding his motor And just coating the course with oil. I don't think we're actually gonna find somebody so we're gonna try We're gonna try it again And see if we can maybe get in there because I'd like to run some tandems for today's episode, but you know Unfortunately, if we can't find tandems for some reason We're unable to get tandems so Apparently osw is not gonna work for us in the multiplayer section So let's go Find another one Or let's see if we can't complete the needle daily challenge Looks like it's 10 000 looks like a chase a belief For a sponsor crates. So we're gonna go with the bad bull going against madmikes madmike against madmike Need to go up into third. I forgot this car is very We're all heavy and of course my kersh is also there We definitely could probably get this challenge me for okay, so Fourth fifth gear with this bad bull. So we're gonna have to kick up the gears We started off strong and then fell off. I feel like 10 000 chase is not a hard feet to get Let's just start right in second gear We kind of lose him a little bit through there. We may have to pull out The mx5 in order to beat this with that car. This is not a car driven much And as you can see i'm all over the place. So we're gonna switch cars That car is not working for me right now. So let's We'll pull out the cream 180 and see if we can pull it out with cream It's a little bit closer But apparently we needed to be in much higher gear Madmike car is just so gripped up right now We may have to fight fire with fire if we want to complete this challenge We may need to fight fire with fire. We're trying to do two challenges for today Which is not something that ever happens here on torque dress When we're able to complete two challenges in a row we can pull out Adam Lz is s15 We cut this a little short Nope lost gear I am not having a good time here at the needle circuit. So we're gonna put fire with fire And by fire with fire I mean We're gonna pull out The rattle as well and see if maybe we can keep up with the rattle ourselves Okay, see that's what we need to be we need to be tucked in And there's our 10 000.  So we did something We've never been able to do on torque drift in a very long time and that's complete two challenges two challenges in a row So we got some spots crates.  So we are starting off fresh to rebuilding our car selection So what we're gonna do is go back. We have one car in the garage that we're gonna start building from the ground back up And that is going to be The e46 so if you guys remember I was very dominant when I owned my e46 So we're going to actually Tune and buy some stuff for the e46, but first we're gonna open the crates. So we're gonna open the two sponsor crates first Because we have two of them And then we're also gonna open up the two fd crates Definitely loves the new crate opening. They're kind of just exploding. Oh, we got some We got some parts. We got some mathmark suspension, which is definitely a good pull. So it's building up the two fd crates Money money and more money. We definitely need money to be building a new car so We're going to be doing a new build up on the e46 So we have parts to put onto the car and things like that. We're gonna be starting from the ground up So let's go put on that suspension that we actually got And we're going to install the suspension and then we're going to tune it because We want to lower this as much as possible and soften it up And then we're going to go to the back and put it on as well So if you guys have been around the channel for a long time, like I said, you guys know that I've had the e46 And it was one of my most dominant cars. So we're going to be trying to bring that car back And definitely be rocking the 46 again So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all our found description box below if I hope you guys Enjoy this episode We've been doing a lot more here on torque drift bringing it back to the channel consistently because we're going back To basics here on the channel.

I'll see you guys on the track


Welcome to another episode of frightfully forgotten horror movies. What are we drinking today? We are drinking cannibal farmhouse French farmhouse ale today. We're gonna be talking about 1982's visiting hours It is directed by Jean-Claude Lorde.  Yeah the name of it is shitty Oh the vindicator it stars Michael Ironside He's like Canada's best export for playing bad guys right probably most well-known for Scanners total recall total recall and the bad guy in the next karate kid That's right. It also stars Lee Grant. She's in in the heat of the night. They call me mr. Timbs and the omen to and Also another one of Canada's great exports is in this William Shatner weave and all Yeah, especially in this it's all perfect Yeah, so the movie starts off at a TV station Deborah Balin Discussing this case that just happened this murder trial.   Can you take these up, too?  Eyeing up this other woman and they're kind of making eyes at each other and like what's so good about him? Like he's all old Shady and everything and he doesn't even say a word say a word and yet it's end up picking this woman up just by Yeah, it's like all men. I never knew it was that easy He takes her back. He's wearing some sort of weird plastic You gotta hear it And they kind of get a little intimate and then he gets all super rough pulls out this knife Turns around like stabs the bed and then shows the killer Chilling out with this old man and his flashbacks to when he was a kid and his dad being all weird and being abusive with his mother So you were kind of getting to know what's making this guy tick a little bit.  So she knows he's at my house So then she has to go home and confront this guy and we're gonna end it there So if you want to find out what happens with Sheila and Debra And michael ironside as the killer finish watching the movie visiting hours this movie is very underrated critics Shit all over this movie when it first came out. They shat all over. They shat all over it Saying it's just a cookie cutter Slasher movie with no originality, but I don't see that at all No, no, if you watch this movie and you really pay attention to it You'll see that it's actually a very intelligent movie at the time when this came out It was like slasher crazy Everyone is trying to get on that halloween momentum But this isn't your typical Mast killer you get to know this guy and you see him and you see his motives and what made him Turn into a killer. He's a psychopath. It could be anybody.  It's like intense and you feel it like And william shatner actually auditioned for that role Yeah, and never got it because well, Michael Ironside is probably really the better actor Like the better fit for this movie imagine this movie with shatner is that role It'd be a different movie and shatner does not shat it up too much Not no blows its load pretty much right away Whatever you know who the killer is you see in this face and they take their time Like every time he gets into a place and he's gonna kill somebody they get build up that suspense And he has all these little corks too like he doesn't have a mask But he's got these other little things like that squeeze ball and that bell He wears a necklace that has like a little bell on it So you can kind of hear them another cool thing about this movie is that you kind of have two final girls left in this Right, they're pretty strong female leads, which is pretty rare Actually, you seem to care about the nurse who is not really the main character more than the main character Yeah, yeah, it's kind of neat. They kind of turn that a little bit.  I didn't even care about devra If you're a fan of slashers and want something a bit different It's a bit more down to earth down to earth smart more based in reality We'll definitely check out visiting hours. It's a canadian classic Even just for iron-sized performance alone It's worth the watch. This is a refreshing movie really kind of akin to I think a little bit silence of the lambs Yeah, where you get to know the killer a lot Totally kind of ahead of its time as far as the narrative of the slasher Yeah, and going against the grain right through all the all the shit that was coming out in 82 Exactly. Well, please check out visiting hours and until next time Keep drinking


Andy, gyda'r cymdeithasol o'r llwydd. Rydyn ni'n gael eich gweithio. Rwy'n cymddech chi'n gwybod, rwy'n gyfrannu'n gyd. Rydyn ni'n gweithio i gyd, a'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio, a'n gwybod yn ffwng. A'r gael y gallu gwahanol y bydai? Rydyn ni, yn gweithio'n gweithio dros ffwrdd. Rydyn ni'n gweithio'n gwybod, rydyn ni'n gweithio'n gweithio, As of all o lad, I'm just so happy to finally get off the mark after a frustrating few weeks in front of the goal for me.  The relief was clear to see on your face? Yeah, I had a chance on Saturday, Mansfield, the keepers pulled off a great save from my header. And then, to be fair, you see how far I had to run for that, I was goose'd. Dwi'n fawr, yna gweithgol yn gweithio gwahodeg, mynd i'n fawr i'r arddangos, yna gweithgol yn yr aws. Nid yw wedi bod arweinydd o bwysig o'r wybod? Dwi'n gweithiaeth, hiwnnw. Felly mae'n fawr i'r rhai bwysig, ac rydyn ni'n ddych chi'n gwneud eich llei, yn amser eu bod wedi bod y flin. Ac mae'n llei yn cyfrifio, mae'n llei yn bwysig i yearwyd? Mae'n bwysig, mae'n gweithio'ch rhaid i'r flin Ames i'n gynnwys rhai gweithio'r gwybod i'w ffordd yn gweithio'r packed-in-sheet. Mae'n gone i'n mynd arall, a o'n gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio, fi'n ffordd, eich gweithio'r gweithio. Mae'n gweithio arall, mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'r gweithio, mae'n ffordd a morbylfer i'n maeni chwarae a'n gwirionedd yn hyffordd. Fyrst o'r môn yw'r newydd yw'n gwirionedd? Roedd amser. yna wnddiffyn .. Fel hyn mae o wneud i'r bryd entrepreneurship. Felly ei wneud spesol yr oedd yn dimin... Mae yn yan blaen amdalu pwn cwm ni… ..a bod yn�au am mhawrwch wedi mewn bach, maelch yn hoff yיכol, mae'n c不對io i roi behau.. I needed that, and hopefully I'm impressed again today. Do you feel like, with Mark's pedigree up the top of the field, there's kind of pressure on you as well that you've got to impress? I mean, there's not many better to learn off his there.  Car's filled up the goals, so no, it's all good. And now, going on from here, do you feel like momentum's already been building coming into this game? This can take you up another level? Yeah, I don't see why not. I mean, like you said, I don't think we deserve to compete the last couple of games, but we have, so we've had to just ourselves down and keep going playing the way we have been playing, and we've come where the win against top of the league, and we just want to continue playing like that, and hopefully it keeps improving and we keep winning games. A couple of returning players today, Jamie Walker's coming in, Dion Pereira's making his debut. I mean, we've got strength and depth on me in the squad, so it's called healthy competition for players. Playing with those quick men outside of you, of course, that does mean there's a lot of battling for you to do in the middle of the park. Quick men do not see me at the end there. No, it's a battle-heavy game for me, you know what I mean? I'm happy to get the ball on my feet. I'm happy to go in behind. I'm happy to battle in the air, but I just don't know how I'm playing. I'm happy to do whatever, so I keep playing and trying to do it to the team and bring all the players into the game. Can we expect more counter-attacking, sprint goals from you? If I recover. No, you know what it is. I'll go in behind no bother. But you know, I don't know how it goes in. It takes the deflection to go in any case, as long as you get the points.


Next, I'd like to call up Cameron Stewart. Cameron Stewart grew up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, graduating from Fond du Lac Goodrich High School in 1985.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you.


I love together we can read day. Every year it's probably one of my most favorite days of the year. Together we can read. I think what it teaches kids number one is that reading not only you have to do for school as I think sometimes I think but it is a way to really open up your mind to different experiences and to teach you things that you may not know and then it also encourages them to really establish a love of reading at a young age and that you can utilize reading not just to learn but an opportunity to do things together. We always encourage the families the students who get the book to go home and read with their family so we're also in promoting family togetherness and family literacy which I think is very important. The most important thing that we can show them and share with them is the value of our time and showing them that we want to invest in them and so I just encourage people not only to be a part of Reading Day every year for Together We Can Read but you know reach out to your local school and figure out how you can support their efforts and volunteer.
