Good afternoon and happy new year. This is the first show of this series, Business in Hawaii. And it's the year of the wild boar. But today we're going to be stimulated, excited, always looking for new business ideas, entrepreneurship and how small business people really create, really value in the economy and bring forth innovation for the people and community of Hawaii and globally, how to spread that around. And today, as your host, Ray Tuchiyama, we have a guest, Andrew Lockwood, he is CEO and president of Pacific Islands Institute with quite an innovative business model in travel. And it's more than just travel, and it encompasses education, it encompasses really getting into the trenches and interacting with people, cultures in a community all around the Pacific region and more. Welcome to the show, Andrew. Thank you. Now, you're the head of a company that actually is a family business or inter-generation. Tell me who started it. OK. Our company is called Pacific Islands Institute. We're a tour operator based in Kaimuki. I was founded by my mother, Diana Lockwood, back in 1989. And when she started this company, Tours and Tourism, but she must have had a different vision or kind of, what makes your company unique? There are tour companies that do tours for people who want to see new places and things and cultures. What is it so unique about your company, Pacific Islands Institute? So our company is designed to allow people to experience a deeper experience of the places that they visit. It's not for people that are coming for just kind of what I call sunburn and Mai Tai tourism, but people that really want to engage with the culture, with the environment and are usually traveling with a purpose. So we customize tours around that purpose. And when you say customization, you have a request for such a tour and you talk to the people, engage with the tour attendees first, or do you propose that this is a tour that you should take and kind of shape it? What does that process look like? So actually most of our clients are organizations. So we work with a lot of non-profit organizations that have educational missions that they want to extend by traveling into the Pacific. We specialize throughout Oceania, Polynesia, Milanese, Micronesia, etc. And so when they want to come into our area or are looking for ideas from our part of the world, we propose to them, we collaborate with that organization to find something that will be meaningful to them and make sense to do in our part of the world. Well why don't we begin with the backdrop? This backdrop is a really exciting place. What does this kind of tell the viewers out there what your company is about by looking at this? Well this is kind of a multi-layered photo. This is from the island of Ofu in American Samoa in a difficult to reach part of Samoa called the Manua group. And we're looking towards the island of Olo-Singha, that's what you see behind my head. And the reef in the foreground is part of a reef flat that's actually part of American Samoa National Park. So this photo was taken as part of one of our programs that we do for the National Parks Conservation Association where they take their members to various national parks. That's great. Can we have the first photo please, Rich? And this is an organization, where did this organization come from and how did they shape this experience with you? Okay, terrific. So what you see here is a group of students from, I believe it's the University of Arizona and in particular their Asia Pacific American Student Services organization with inclusion of people from their Native American Student Affairs. So what we're doing here is we're visiting a fish pond, Heia fish pond on Oahu to be specific. And as you can see they're learning from one of the caretakers of the pond about the history of the place and the concept behind Hawaiian use of fish ponds. Now before they came here did they study at all about Hawaiian history or fish ponds in general or specific ones? You know honestly I think that's a nut that we're still trying to crack a little better. They're discussing I think more broadly Native cultures back at the University and they really get their whole experience in depth when they arrive. And regarding how did they come to have this particular program, the goal of this program that they're participating on, it's a five night program, would be longer but students only have so much money. And they're experiencing Hawaiian culture through service. So they actually here are learning about the pond but they also worked at the pond. We met through our friend Professor Buckley, Patrick Buckley at the University of Bellingham, Western Washington where I'm a alum and I advise the group. And he takes about 10 students here and gives them a very in depth, in the trenches kind of immersion in Hawaii society, politics, economics, all kinds of issues but they do study before coming here and they do some post trip analysis and papers and so forth. So it is a whole course but it includes travel. So why don't we have the next one up. Okay, so here we have a family program so it's designed for people, these are clients are primarily from North America. It's designed for grandparents, the parent generation and the kid generation through one of our clients called Rhodes Scholar which is a lifelong learning organization that focuses on people that are typically 40 plus. And so here we are actually doing a make your own laulau as part of an experience that also included time in the lo'i and hula in more of kind of a backyard setting. And these are like three generations at once. Three generations, yes, traveling together, learning together. This is quite interesting because I can see even for tourists from Japan or Korea or Taiwan or many places in Asia Pacific would want to do this kind of, kind of not like you say a sun and surf relaxation vacation but to learn something new and be immersed in it. Now how do you find these places or do you have long relationships with groups that would host these groups when they come here? Yes, well we've been around for 30 years so we do have a lot of relationships that are 20 years plus and some frankly that predate our organization because my mother did similar things for 10 years prior to founding Pacific Islands Institute. And basically we just networked for the community. We ourselves in our head office do not have the expertise to do you know to demonstrate these things in most cases but our expertise is in knowing people that know these places and in having the core mission to do it in as beneficial a way as possible so that not only the visitors benefit but also the community benefits. Okay, well next photo please. Oh this looks and where is this? Yes, this is in Tahiti. I won't have a lot to say about this one but I will say that this is the University of Southern California that was doing a similar thing to what we do here in Hawaii where they were exploring Tahitian culture through service, yeah, through service. When you say service they're going to all kinds of sites, cultural sites and what do they do that's meaningful. Okay, so they did a variety of different things. One of the things they did was up in a historic, fantastically beautiful Papina O Valley in the middle of the Tahiti Nui portion of Tahiti. They helped pull Maikonia. They also helped tend some of the Iqalo or the taro terraces there including the one that was planted at the beginning of Malama Honua for the Hokulea Voyagers and that they you know they revisited Tahiti and were able to harvest on their way back. Another thing that they did it was around the New Year's timeframe. They participated in helping serve a local community, 200 people that were economically disadvantaged. There's an organization there that basically does in Hawaii what we would call like an imu down there on Ma'at Tahiti and they just help prepare and serve the food. You're coming up with a lot of Hawaiian historical cultural culinary terms and many of your destinations involve Pacific Islands which are in the group of Polynesia or Tonga and Osama and so forth. Does your upbringing and the fact that your organization institute is in beautiful Kaimuki in Honolulu and have a sense of Pacific Island and Polynesian culture does it help you and give you more leverage when you talk to these groups from the outside, outside of the meeting from the mainland or anywhere else, outside of Hawaii that are seeking these experiences? That's an interesting question. I think honestly most of the people that we work with outside Hawaii are not really knowledgeable enough to be able to make a decision based on the way we talk and communicate with them on how much we know what we know but it helps us when we're dealing with the communities because we do have an Oceania wide perspective. We can talk about, there are still certainly new places that we go to within the Oceania area although we've been to pretty much every place that there's regular plane service. There are always new opportunities there and we're not in every place every day or sometimes even every year but I think it does help when we work with community members for them to understand that our mission and our approach and our knowledge of the area is on firm footing, at least at our level. Again, the experts come from the communities. But when you go down to Tahiti or Samoa Tonga, there's a sense of feminine hierarchy that you say you're from Hawaii and therefore you know you may not be an expert in their cultures but you're grounded in Polynesia. We are of the Pacific, of the Pacific in many ways and really enjoy a lot of things that are culturally historically out there. But it's interesting to note that many of your organizations come from the mainland, from outside of Hawaii and they use you as a conduit, as a liaison, as a kind of middle person to really fulfill their objectives in travel and culture. Do you have or do you want more people from Hawaii and organizations to do this as well and go out to see our cousins in Rapa Nui or Tahiti or Samoa Tonga? Yes, I would love that. I have to say myself, I first went down to Fiji Tonga in Samoa on a three-week program that we were running for one of our clients and this was in 1998-91 and I came back from that experience having learned a lot about Hawaii and that was not something that I expected. But by being down there and seeing people where the language is strong and alive and well and seeing village-based communities and everything that that that means, learning about their history and their culture gave me a lot of perspective to reflect back upon Hawaii and I and I came back wanting to share specifically Hawaii's youth to share that experience with them. Let's hold that thought and explore it even further after we take this exciting break. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. It's choose to treat it with the help of a physical therapist. Physical therapists treat pain through movement and exercise. No warning labels required and you get to actively participate in your care. Choose to improve your health without the risks of opioids. Choose physical therapy. Welcome to Sister Power. I'm your host Sharon Thomas Yarbrough where we motivate, educate, empower and inspire all women. We are live here every other Thursday at 4 p.m. and we welcome you to join us here at Sister Power. Aloha and thank you. Welcome back to our exciting show and we had this great statement and analysis by Andrew just before taking a break on the experiences he had when he went off to our cousins in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and other places and came back to Hawaii with new insights about Hawaii. What could have been or how Hawaii could have preserved or sustained some things and in society and culture environment but also other things that maybe other islands could learn as well from Hawaii and in terms of what we have and share and kind of cross I guess pollinate or have discussions on how Hawaii evolved and developed through the years. And so we go back isn't that will be a really exciting area to explore if people in Hawaii were motivated to take these trips and what you know this is a platform for you to really you know promote your business model but at the same time it's an educational model at the same time it's a political, social, cultural, it's an all-encompassing model that you go beyond just you know going there and looking at things but really deal with what you just said the experts in the community and they may have something that may have a great impact or a positive on Hawaii itself. What do you feel is lacking? What do you have to do you know to get this out there into the community? Oh well some of these are just basic business challenges that any business would face. For us it's that for the first 20 years of our existence we were basically just continuing to serve our existing client base picking up some additional ones by word of mouth but not putting any real effort into trying to to offer what we do more widely. About 10 years ago my wife Karen and I we owned the company together we decided that you know things were fine but that our community benefit that which is one of the driving forces behind what we do was going to be limited at a certain level unless we invested some money in trying to do more marketing and sales and we could bring it to another level in which case the communities would benefit more and there's a variety of other benefits as well. So frankly I think it's just we're lucky and that we're so busy that we're not growing the company more but at the same time we are taking steps to to try to do that so that we can meet our community benefit goal as well as work with more interesting people in places. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to continually meet new people and learn about new places and have a strong desire to want to work with them but to be limited by just not having enough clients so. Well you go back to like I just said earlier in the program about Asia Pacific tourists from Japan or Taiwan or Korea and other places or you know Australia New Zealand to Hawaii and there must be a strong desire to experience Hawaii at another level in the community that's number one and if it's all possible to raise you know the amount of spending per person so you don't have mass tourism and have less impacting less affecting the environment and also that we that other places also have promoted in Costa Rica and other countries sustainable eco tourism to really protect the environment but really give focused tours and I would say that this seems to be a great idea the HTA should think about what if HTA was sitting right here what would you say to them that's a great and politically charged question thanks for that okay I would just say that it is challenging I mean you know in Hawaii we deal with issues of community you know that we have communities on Oahu for example that that are basically trying to close beaches and close places to like Lonikai like Lonikai for example why Manalo or Halewa Bay was already restricted exactly been restricted for a while I used to go there camping when I was a kid so over tourism is a very very important issue that not just Hawaii but a lot of places are dealing with on the news just recently was Naples well Venice Venice thank you very big yes and short also in Japan right you're right and in fact they should look at Hawaii for as as we should be the leaders in trying to you know sustainable tourism yes because of you know 10 11 million visitors a year what kind of impact is that on the islands yeah and I will freely acknowledge that what we do is a very boutique kind of product we would face issues of scale for example if we take somebody to the national park Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with a volcanologist you can't have a volcanologist every single day of the year periodically you can there's a huge amount of planning and logistics to get to a tour that's what you're saying and the kind of experts that we employ have regular jobs right I mean we just we're in the visitor industry but but we pull from all industries and nonprofits etc schools to provide expert speakers as well as our group leaders that accompany people and and you can't do that every day so balancing that is very tricky is it is a big next next photo please if there's one out there still okay what's oh this is well here we are we're actually we're actually back on Ophu and this is just showing you know here's our people having a kind of grassroots umu experience the above ground oven versus the imu we have here in Hawaii in grounds and you can see that the Pakao America Samoa American Samoa National Park and they were participating they had the opportunity to participate from the beginning the heating of the rocks all the way through the cooking and of course the dining and in the back you can see somebody scraping coconut either that or his cleaning colo my eyes are not as good as they used to be but you know when you look at this it's familiar but different all right from a Hawaii perspective absolutely we do these things but it's different yeah okay next one please oh okay and here's another university group actually in the lo'i um and they are probably helping weed here okay so is this the uh last one or do we have any i think we have a couple more okay last one here one more that's wonderful oh okay so here's one of our adult groups lest you think we only do student groups um and of course they're on Rapa Nui um the man on the front left with the white hat is famous Rapa Nui archaeologist Sergio Rappu who also has Ohana here in Hawaii they split time um and this is one of our groups that is uh just learning from the best about the traditions of Rapa Nui um and and on this particular program they spend um six days or or more there whereas at least in the past and still to some degree in the present um Rapa Nui is often viewed as a three-day stay uh Easter Island Rapa Nui yeah but um but to get in the kind of depth that that we want to get into not just been there done that take a picture but actually learn about the people that created this and and about their society and economy and everything as a whole we spend more time and what is your favorite place I have many favorite places okay it depends what you're looking for uh Rapa Nui I love Rapa Nui for its very tangible sense of mana you know the Hawaiian spiritual power uh and the accessibility of so many fascinating sites I love Papua Nuggini for the feeling of stepping back in time and going to a place that's incredibly culturally and ecologically diverse and then I love the Cook Islands for a classic uh just relax small scale spectacularly beautiful very friendly people but every place we go to I love for some reason so there they're you know one of the things we run into is people think the Pacific Islands are all kind of the same but of course we know living in Hawaii that they're all quite different but when but when you say we know you're making an assumption here I've never been to Samoa I've never been to Tonga I've never been to Rapa Nui I've never been to Tahiti okay I mean you know for a lot of people in Oahu the next stop after Diamond Head is San Francisco that's fair or Vegas on the direct flight or Vegas you know Clark County so uh you're you're right that um we should be part of this you know Pacific community I mean our ancestors came here from other islands to populate Hawaii Hawaii Nui but but there is that interest motivation really to study or really wrap your hands uh you know arms around other close close cultures much closer than yeah Arkansas or Montana they're much closer to us in many ways you're quite right I I think it is a a growing perception of being part of the of the Pacific community um but let's just say there's a lot of opportunity to continue to uh to do more growth in that area well that's that's terrific you know and how about for people in Hawaii are the things that we are missing that are in our backyard oh my gosh yes I have to say I feel very blessed to live in Hawaii of course among my favorite places Hawaii I'm not trying to live anywhere else Hawaii is awesome um Hawaii is such a rich place there's so much going on we get hints of it we hear about it we see it on tv we maybe read about it in a paper or something but there's an incredible amount I feel very lucky to be in the business I'm in because my day-to-day job is is learning about these different places of a person that seems you know that more people should be aware of and out there in in music or who love or culturally oh of a person oh that's too difficult there we let's just say we are we are rich in fascinating people in Hawaii uh doing fascinating things and so um you know read the Hanoho magazine I'll give them a plug I think they do a great job actually our neighbor in Kaimuki but but but I think they do a wonderful job for giving a taste of the things that are out there that's a good plug for my friend Chris Pierce is the publisher I've always published in that magazine several times uh so we're coming to the end and I think you know there's tantalizing bits in here that people should in Hawaii should think more of and that we could be doing a lot more in like you say intergenerational travel of course young people exploring on their own and coming to some great insights as part of as you say service oriented travel older people with a little more time on their hands could come back and see you know just say Rapa Nui or some really interesting fascinating slices of history and and and society so I think it really is a should be scaled up in many ways and and this is a model I think that could be of great interest in the future and how to make tourism much more sustainable in in in in many many ways and thank you for being on the show pleasure and we will have another show soon and this is a series for 2019 business in Hawaii I'm your host Retsu Chiyama thank you very much


Welcome to the Tick-Mill Update, I'm Kiana Danielle, the founder of the Investeva Movement. Before we get started, make sure to subscribe to the Tick-Mill YouTube channel and support us by liking and sharing this video with your forex trading friends. On Monday, the coronavirus partnered up with an oil price tank to shake the whole world. Meanwhile, we found out that the Canadian housing starts declined in February 2020, the German trade balance also fell, and Japan's economy shrunk faster than first estimated on the growing virus. So, we're facing a recession risk according to some analysts. On Tuesday, we don't have many noteworthy economic risk events on the calendar, but the coronavirus is expected to continue to lead the markets. Today, I'm looking at the dollar, yen pair, which reached the 101 level we predicted last week. It appears to be correcting at least some of the losses early on Tuesday's Asian session. This level has acted as a super strong support level for the past five years. So, if the bears are able to push below this level, this week we may see a repeat of the 2008 market crash with the pair eventually dropping to an eight-year low. However, before jumping the gun, I'd recommend that you sit back and chill for a second, calculate your risk tolerance, and then make an investment decision. My burning question for you today is, do you know your risk tolerance? Head over to the comment section and let me know because you should not be trading if you don't know your risk tolerance. In trading, the financial markets involve the risk of loss, and you should only trade the money that you can afford to lose. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the Tick-Mail YouTube channel. I'll get back to you with more updates tomorrow.


Hi, please introduce yourself. Hi, my name is Robert Day. I'm with the Arms Automotive Division. And what I'd like to talk a little bit about today is an initiative called SOFI, which is really aimed at enabling the software-defined vehicle revolution that's coming. So what is a software-defined vehicle? So a software-defined vehicle is essentially the features and the functions of the vehicle. And often the differentiated features and functions will now be driven by software. So it gives the opportunity to design how a car's going to feel and how it's going to operate by software versus traditional hardware modules. So it allows the automakers to basically decide how to keep their car updated through software. What is SOFI? So SOFI stands for Scalable Open Architecture for the Embedded Edge. So it's an initiative that we kicked off about 18 months ago. And it's really looking at how you can efficiently develop software and then deploy that in a vehicle. So what we did with SOFI is we looked at what other industries do agile development and deployment of large amounts of software. And so we found that the cloud and cloud development was a really good starting place for us because people do that every day. So you develop in the cloud and you basically deploy to a cloud instance. That's what cloud development's all about. In this case, instead of deploying to a cloud instance, we're going to deploy to a vehicle. So we're using these cloud standards, cloud tooling. But what we do is we actually look at how is a car different? How is the software in a car going to be different? A couple of things are, one, it's real time. We need to worry about real time stuff. We need to worry about safety, which you don't have to worry about in a cloud instance. So OK, what do we need to do to these standards and how to these tools to make them work for a car? So you'll often hear the term data center on wheels for the next generation of vehicles. The trouble is it's not a data center on wheels. The compute might be similar to a data center. But the software that's going to be running and what that software needs to do is not going to be the same as a cloud instance. So that's why we came up with this initiative. When we kicked it off, we wanted to make it an industry initiative. So we got a group of companies from both the automotive world but also from the software development world, because this is a software development thing. So the governing body members of SOFI are ourselves, Carriead, VW, Woven Planet Toyota, Bosch, Continental, from the automotive industry. These are the companies that are going to be essentially adopting things that we put together as a SOFI architecture. But we also brought in people who understood cloud and software. So we also have Red Hat, Suze, and AWS as governing body members. So there's eight of us that are really kind of looking at to what does this need to look like to make it work for software if I'm vehicle? So it's quite a long answer, sorry. When you talk about AWS, Red Hat, all that, they do a lot of stuff in the cloud and now they all their skills, they can put it towards cars. They understand development in the cloud, they understand software development. All we're saying is we need to look at it going into a vehicle than going into a cloud instance. And so they have those skills for the large amount of code, software code that's going to go into a vehicle, that sort of development, that agile development. There's a term we're using cloud CICD, which is continuous integration, continuous delivery, because that's what they do. They keep integrating, and then they deliver, deliver. Our vehicle's going to be the same. When you buy a car, a software-defined vehicle, that vehicle will get updated. And when it gets updated, it's going to get better. So no longer when you drive your car off the dealership, you know, to get kind of worse over time, it's going to get better. It's like our cell phones, that we get new versions of operating systems, new tools, new applications, updates, upgrades. And it's not just the UI of the infotainment system, it's actually all the way down to the wheels. It's everything. And you know, the market is changing as we go into things like electrification, where people are just redesigning the vehicles to be EVs. So you've got a clean slate, you can really look at all of the functions, the electronics in the vehicle, and so you're almost starting from scratch, which is great. And so this initiative is really there to try and sort of like enable this and accelerate this. And behind you, are you showing a demo? Yeah, so let me explain this. So one of the things with Sophie is we wanted to have applications within Sophie to show the, you know, automotive developers how you would use Sophie to develop a particular application. So this is running something called AutoWare, which is an autonomous software stack, okay? We're actually running it on this system here, okay? And this is a system that we had a partner company, AD Link Develop, and it's called the Ava Developer Platform. So it's basically got a powerful ARM processor in it. It's a 32 core ARM processor because we didn't know what people would want to develop using this. So we kind of over-provisioned it so that you could run any software defined function, including an autonomous stack, which is what we're running here. So what this is really trying to do is to show how you could do your development. Which CPU is it? So it's an Ampere Ultra 32, which is 32 core. It's got a nice cooling. Oh, it's got a connected with GPUs. Yes, so this is running GPUs as well.  So this system's actually expandable. It's got three PCIe, so you can plug in graphics cards, whatever you want, networking. So it's really quite a nice system to get started. Because let's say, we don't know what people are going to develop on it. We're hoping the whole car, the different parts of the car, and, you know, part of the SOFI architecture is also looking at how you can have different applications running on the same system. So there's no reason why you couldn't have your ADAS system and your IVI system running on the same compute system if it was powerful enough. What I'm looking at here is to do with self-driving and stuff like that. Yes, so AutoWare is an autonomous self-driving stack. So this is just sort of showing a view of what AutoWare sees. Obviously we're not connected to a car, so we're showing an example of, you know, one of the parts of AutoWare showing the point cloud and what it's seeing from the sensors. But, you know, this is a kind of pre-recorded sensor stuff because we don't have a car here. But at least it gives you an example of, you know, what we can run using the SOFI architecture and using this development platform. It's quite amazing that the ARM processors, people are developing for self-driving cars and electric cars and everything. And the power they have is amazing, and it keeps getting better. Actually, you can even swap boards out in your car to keep it updated. Yeah, so it's really interesting when we're going into this software-defined world. Okay, there are a couple of things. So firstly, what SOFI's trying to do is really take away the real dependence on a particular hardware system. So you're right, you could move from one SOC to another SOC, whatever, or if there's a newer version of the SOC, you could do that, okay? The other interesting part is you could over, like we did with this thing, the automakers could over-provision, okay? It's not what normally happens because normally you build it to what the car's doing. But if you're going, well, I think I'm going to have extra functions. I'm developing those as an automaker, and I want to maybe upsell them to, you know, the consumers of my products, put a bit more compute power in there. And that will be an interesting shift in how automotive works. Yesterday I did a video with that. They were talking about 128 core in the car, like you could have the bigger scoop. So this one you could actually put 128 core in it if you wanted to. So it's a ComHPC module that we put in here. So it's, yeah, it's upgradeable even in this development system. And here it's showing the... So this is the architecture of SOFI. So there's a cloud part. This is where you kind of do your development using the SOFI framework in the cloud. But obviously this needs to get deployed into a vehicle. So there's a sort of similar view in the vehicle. So up here, you basically start developing your code. You're developing in the cloud. You can even do your testing in the cloud. You can do things like digital twins to kind of like get a good representation even in the cloud of what your vehicle system looks like. And then what we're doing is we're using some cloud technologies like orchestration which allows you to then deploy your different workloads which are shown in the kind of green boxes here down into the computer on the edge which is what this is sort of simulating right now. And so another part that another technology or methodology is using cloud is containers. So containers again allow you to develop these workloads, these applications in the green boxes there and then sort of seamlessly deploy them from the cloud down into the edge. I guess it's working very fast. This ecosystem, people are asking for this right now. There's so many electric cars coming to the market right now. Many of them want to be self-driving. Yeah, so the different applications, it's all going to be driven by software. So you're right, there's an appetite for it. So the SOFI members, we're now over 70 and ounce members. So there's a lot of different people in the automotive ecosystem that are really getting involved with this initiative. And it's got some really good momentum and it's because there's kind of a need for it out there and there's a desire to start developing software now. Even if the vehicle's not going to be produced until whenever, I want to get my software development going early and then I want to be able to continuously integrate and continuously deliver. And here at the ARM booth, you have more different demos talking about this? If we go around the other side, yep, we can... This is an example. This is not actually running SOFI, this is just one of our SOC partners. So Telechips, I think this was announced today, the Dolphin 5 SOC. And so this is kind of cool because it's running different applications that you would see in the cockpit on a single SOC. So we've got an example of running a movie. We've got an example of surround view and surround view cameras. So there's a camera here, you can see my hand. So they've got cameras all around this to do the surround view. And then you've got your cabin functionality over here. So it's basically showing the power and the performance of this SOC, which we can see here, with our Cortex-A76. High performance. High performance. 8 nanometer. Yeah, so this thing's rocking. I mean, you can see this display here. This is running on this SOC. It also has our Mali G78, which is a GPU. And it also has our NPU in there as well. So this is a really good example of the different types of IP that, you know, ARM produces that can be used by our silicon parts. So this again, this is showing how you can run different applications on a single compute platform. A bit like we were talking about around the other demonstration. This is just showing it in a very graphical way. For a while, I've been seeing such amazing ARM processors, but it's hard to see all the potential actually used in devices. And a car is a great way to do that. You have so much stuff going on. Absolutely. And you have to process all of it at the same time. Yeah, and if you think about a vehicle, there are so many different systems now running in a vehicle. I mean, this is just showing what you sort of see. But yeah, this is showing the cameras around your car. It's showing potential for sort of ADAS functionality, display functionality. And so yeah, it's a really good way to see quite how performant these things are right now. And also the sort of software applications that run on them. Cool. All right, thanks a lot. Thanks for the... You're welcome. That's all.


Women under the ages of well-in-women of the Niger Delta have barricaded the entrance of the Niger Delta Development Commission, the NDDC headquarters, at Eastern Bypass in Port Harcourt River State, protesting against federal government delay to publish the forensic audit report and to constitute a substantive board of the commission. The protesting women carried placards with various inscriptions demanding the immediate dissolution of the Interior Management Committee of the NDDC and women's inclusion in an eventual constituted substantive board. The coordinator of the group and other protesters expressed their dissatisfaction saying women drawn from all corners of the region had decided to speak up where the men chose to play politics with the commonwealth of the region. They called for the immediate sack of the NDDC's sole administrator. We don't have access roads. We don't have water. Our children are no longer going to school. How do we get to those people? If we have our board members, at least it's grassroots. Where we can get to them? I've talked to them. As you can see, everything we wrote there is about employment, employment, employment. Our youth are just roaming around. There's nothing, no jobs, nothing, nothing to do. We're all at home doing nothing. All we just need is employment. We don't have the benefit anything. Like me, I get braggots. For house, no work. The assistant commissioner for placing charge of oppressions in the state, Udo Ogeichi, who works on the ground to receive the protesters, asked them to become while assuring them that their demands will be channeled to the authorities. So I have come to know your anger and your need and your request. I'm going to take it authority and I'm assuring you that it will be resolved. Trust me. So I want to have your letter. That letter, I'm going to make sure that that letter gets authority and that we handle it. The group threatened to go naked in subsequent protests insisting that they will not back down on their demands until steps are taken to address their issues. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

The type of airmen that we need in today's military is very different than when I first came in. We have to have airmen who can think from the neck up and who also bring the talent and the creativity and the diversity of thought and the intellectual acumen to help us get after the air force that we need in 2030 and 2040 so that we're ready for a high-end fight. We probably need to blow up the way that we think about education, especially when it comes to educating the force of the future. We need to look holistically at how do we develop effective, meaningful teams, whether enlisted or officer so that they can be on the same playing field when it comes to certain things and leadership is one of them. You know, the art of being able to lead airmen is something that you need to have as a senior NCO and especially as an officer and that's Air University.


Let's take a look at this man. It's been a crazy day. I am not taking any shorts. I I've said it before I oh, I only trade with the trend So I am not going short what I do in at times like this. I just stay out of the market I Try it you could try it with some small positions and low leverage to catch one of the supports Um, but I wouldn't short it I'm I am not sure unless it breaks down like I don't know man. I don't even know where I would show it probably under 10,000 maybe if it were to go under 10,000 Then it could definitely drop back down to the 9,000 support over here But under 10, I'm really not looking to short in this market, um, I always trade with the trend We're looking at the trend over here. The trend is your friend guys People always panic with these drops man. This is part of Bitcoin Um, if you if you look at this right here, this is still a bull flag You see this there's a bull flag guys. Let me see if I could draw it on there With one of my tools over here and get this out the way. There's still a bull flag y'all and if if you look There was a similar set up right here. So there's a very similar setup these two areas Um, as you can see it stayed in that range for a while But it's very similar what happened here. It consolidated for a while and then it took off So we might see consolidation right here It could be it could be a similar pattern right there We look further back. I mean it looks good man. We're still above All the moving average on the daily We're just I it looks like we're just gonna be consolidating here for a bit, but I am not shorting this What I'm trying to enter here is probably so the supports That we're on currently we're on The 11.4k support 11,400 support right here You guys see that my mouse. Yeah It's definitely a pretty strong support After that we have 11,200 support as you can see it's a troubled area right here So it's definitely a point of interest and after that we got the $11,000 support. So Yeah, so we're drop if we drop below 11,400 we got 11.2 got 11,000 from there We're probably looking at ten thousand eight hundred and ten thousand six hundred supports after eleven thousand If it were to drop through all of those then we'll be seeing possibly ten thousand But we still got the ten thousand two hundred some more of a minor support then we got ten thousand We drop under ten thousand we'll probably hit nine That's the way I'm saying it if you're taking any trades here So for eleven thousand four hundred it is a good support to enter on However, you'll have to keep a pretty a pretty wide stop if you don't want to get stopped out You basically have to go The things it doesn't even make sense to So Usually you would want to go Below the daily low the low of the day, but the low of the day is under the next support and It's over $200 drop. So to have your stop that wide doesn't make sense So what I would what I'm doing I would keep it tighter I'll probably keep it around here 11,300 or you can just play it really tight If you just want to enter the same trade every time You can literally just enter that every time it goes over eleven thousand four hundred just enter it again and It goes drops back under just stop out like it's fine taking small losses. We're not worried about small losses guys We're trying to get the the big one So I use a little small losses, that's fine if you want to keep a wide stop then What I would do Is the thing is since eleven thousand two hundred isn't is this next support right there? I would just average down So if I'm entering eleven thousand four hundred and I don't want to have to keep Buying in and I don't want to worry about stopping out averaging down at eleven thousand two hundred and eleven thousand honestly With the stop under eleven, but that's such a wide stop. I wouldn't take that risk. I wouldn't take that trade personally I'm just saying if you guys wanted to have a wider stop. That's probably what you'd have to do I'm keeping my stops pretty tight Luigi, what's up, man? Thanks for the follow I'm keeping my my stops pretty tight probably between around fifty dollars If eleven thousand four hundred does take off then we're gonna definitely see eleven five and eleven six And if we get through eleven six and we'll see eleven eight We get through that and twelve twelve, okay again so Yeah, so we're looking at about a hundred dollars For the first target a hundred dollar reward So if you're taking a fifty dollar risk You're getting a one to two risk reward And then if it goes beyond your first target you're doing you're more than okay Everything with everything's red today, but I mean that's part of it the whole Equities market was red today the stock market. I don't know if you guys follow the stock market. That was all red today as well Let's go to Ethereum Ethereum many theorem was lovely earlier and went all the way up to four fifteen And then it just hasn't been able to break out. It's been stuck So I'm trying to see the range for this Cuz I know 480, I mean 380 is a pretty strong support here, so It's kind of in the same spot. It's literally following Bitcoin right now 380 is a pretty strong support for Ethereum as you can see if you look back It had trouble right here At that price it was resistance. It'll support here. It was resistance here. It'll support support support resistance support support Support so it's a pretty strong support Now the thing is You can only hit the support so many times before you break it so you have to keep that in mind You see it did it did go way below support here, but it closed Above it or it closed right on it It closed just under 380 So if you're taking a trade here, I would wait for it to go a little bit higher above 380 Maybe 382 would be an entry With a stop, you know Somewhere under 380 Depends on your risk tolerance.  It's been having trouble. I don't know why if you look at it It's moving in and five dollar increments. Yeah, so I'd be looking 382 entry 400 is the ultimate target, but I'd be taking profits on the way there Let's check out MKR Requested by chipmunk. I'm guessing and trading it trading it paired with USD or are you trading it paired with? Yeah, this looks good. Yeah, man. This thing is on fire It looks like here Yeah, so 630 whole number Psychological resistance there And then of course 640 psychological resistance again. Yeah, man, I'd be taking profits probably Sometime soon if it starts dropping back down before 635 and then I'll have Breakout entries above 640 and if it drops back down Then I'll just be buying back in 600 is probably a good entry But yeah, it's good man. It's definitely gonna get through there Just has to get some more volume probably. Oh, it's at 640 right now So that's that's basically gonna be the breakout right there if it gets to be 640 it could definitely break that and Let's see. Let's see what target it could be if it gets through there looks like 680 Yeah, so probably I would guess 650 will be another psychological resistance and then And then 680 looks like a point of interest up here GBTC That's the grayscale Bitcoin trust for those of you that don't know so GBTC is basically If you don't if you want to Invest in Bitcoin through the stock market the way to do that is through GBTC so I Have I ever I don't think I've ever invested in GBTC Because holding GBTC you don't actually hold bitcoins It just it goes up and down it does go up and down though It is pretty much correlated with Bitcoin. It goes up and down with it So it's it's pretty cool. If you if you don't want to deal with You know exchanges and worrying about getting hacked and stuff like that but you still want to You know have some of your portfolio in Bitcoin GBTC is a good way to do that So I'm looking at let me go up to the daily Now you can see it's it's pretty much the same a very very similar pattern to BTC Except you have all these gaps. The reason you see so many gaps here is because remember GBTCs and is with the stock market. So it's only open from 9 30 a.m.. To 4 p.m.. Eastern Standard time so everything else is and you know the cryptocurrency market is open 24 7 so Everything else. It's It's gaps But yeah, you see similar pattern here. This was a bull flag bull flag breakout Consolidated now during the consolidation period. It did go drop a little bit lower And then it just took off again. So it was take off from nine ten dollars to 15 almost 15 Yeah, so after here next targets are is gonna be $15 psychological target Looks like 1570 $16 I'm sure it's gonna be another psychological Remember whole numbers are always gonna be resistance and support So always just keep those in mind. So like see right here $16 $1650 $17 those are always Gonna be psychological supports resistance. I mean doesn't there's not really any You can't really get too much from from looking at these charts So if you are trading GBTC, I would just be more more so looking at Bitcoin Because this is just gonna follow Bitcoin and this has a lot of gaps in it So it's it's gonna be a little bit harder to read What in the world is playing right now? Sorry guys, I have like a random playlist of music that you know is not Copywritten or anything Or it's rewrites whatever you want to call it Luigi to both. Okay, cool. Yeah, man There's actually a lot of different Stocks in the stock market that just follow Bitcoin that are just very correlated with it. I know GBTC I know another one's raid Can't remember the other ones also any any of the chips like Nvidia What's it called Forgot the other ones, but any of the chips are also pretty correlated with the coins sometimes not always All right, let's look at a bch. See what where bch is that? If you guys have any questions just drop the question in the chat and I am more than happy to answer if I can bch same same pattern same pattern as Bitcoin it is just Correlating just following it if you look at it. It's a bull flag same pattern so here It looks like it's out of support right now So 280 seems to be the support here. Let's zoom in a little bit. Yep So right here 280 is a nice support here. If it does break down 280 though. It could have a nice little drop-off Looks like 270 is minor 250 is probably gonna be the next one. I would guess. Yeah, right here 250 yeah, so Below 280 where we might be looking at 250 as a next support So you don't want to See how low it went here went down to 269. Yeah, so 270 is that other minor support that I just mentioned If you're taking the trade here 280 is the entry basically Or if you want to be extra safe You can go a little bit above this maybe above 285 probably If you enter 280 above 285 with a stop under 280 And then you're talking about your targets are gonna be 300 it's gonna be the first target 303 10 300 through 10 320 If you enter at 380 You want to have about a $10 stop The thing with a $10 stop though your first target is 390 So we're talking about a one-to-one risk ratio because this live Instagram live is tripping out um Yeah, so we're taking a 280 entry Probably gonna have to do a five dollar Um, not even we're entering at 280 I'll set my stop like at 277 First target 290 Second target 300 third target 310 and then um Leave a runner for 320 Check out ripple anybody in ripple It has not been doing much It is stuck Basically, I think last time we we spoke about it. I forgot where it was last time I think it had to be around 26 27 Um, so yeah, so I just don't I don't like this pattern man Like it still is kind of a um A bull flag, but it's like it's so weird, you know what I mean? Like it's still a bull flag But with a pretty steep drop You're probably pulled up Let's me put up one of these So If we put it up here, let me see 2,800 So it looks like 2,800 was the number that rejected it So if we put it up here, there's a Fibonacci retracement tool Oh, no, I didn't mean to do that switch back to this um You can see here That it's literally Using the support right on the point 382 Um, so if it does use this as support and this is also the 2,500 area 2,500 is a little bit higher So look it looks like it's uh retraced Down to the point 382 on the fib So it could be A possibility to buy in here, but um I am I am invested in ripple long term. I'm not really looking at the short term right now Uh, I do still think it'll it'll get back up to a dollar It's just Like everything else it's kind of correlated with With bitcoin right now leave that there. Let's see how that does on the next the next time we look at it I'm gonna look at LTC Then we're gonna look at uh Probably look at Link and a lot of people have been asking me about chain link and tezzels If there's any other anything else you guys want me to go over let me know I'm not very excited about light coin. It's just Not really much to do here right now. I mean for long term purposes It's cool but Not really much to look at here. They're cardano ADA beautiful bull flag This is on the daily too. Let's go down to the four hour Sitting right on here Yeah, so there's a good support to enter right here This is zone 1200 zone looks like around there. Yeah 1200 zone I would wait to for it to go back above 1200 by the breakout Probably We go up to about 12 80 to 13 You got you got rejected here last time at 13 got rejected at 13 And the next one is 13 65 1400 That's 13 80 Yeah, we could definitely see this run back up Overall it looks good Link's been on fire man. I've been in link for For a while. Let me skip this Skip this song All right, um over here Yes, another bull flag guys so Good to enter I'd be looking to enter around $12 50 cents It's a pretty good entry if you can catch 12 dollars. It's even better But it looks like it barely nipped that probably for like not even a second. It was probably there 1250 good area $13 is going to be a minor Minor resistance Um above 13 You could probably buy it as a little breakout entry And you can expect at least 14 from there So about a a dollar profit. Yeah, I'd be I'd be buying around 1310 probably With a stop It's kind of wide 1275 25 cents stop But we're talking about you're looking at about 40 cents So it's about a one or two For your first target Second target you'll get 90 cents Third target 1450 Above 1450 is a breakout another breakout. So I would be buying there again Tezos x tz Um, it looks like over here's the same thing man A lot of a lot of these coins have very very similar Charts right now So it looks like so basically what happened was the charts the altcoins Took off a lot of them did And now they're just kind of cooling down as bitcoin gains back some dominance Um And I think they're in for another run That in 2017 that happened all the time. I don't know who was here during 2017 run, but um This was very very Common theme over here Just a bull flag And take off so support here Is about 370 it didn't it didn't even reach it 375 the 370 I would want to buy at 370 375s. All right Yeah, other than that, I wouldn't buy anywhere until it passed four dollars I'll buy a four dollar breakout You could expect It looks about 40 cents 45 That four dollar breakout is what I would buy keep a stop under four dollars And that's pretty much it for that man Doge, I was getting a lot of questions about doge about like three weeks ago There's a thing with doge man It has no purpose So yeah, you can make money off of it But you got to understand what you're investing in Is nothing it's a troll so If you're if you ever want to buy doge The levels that you're looking at is 25 satoshis Right here Anytime I've ever bought doge is at 25 satoshis If you look at it Long term it's been a pretty good area Over here. This was what two years ago 2018 Yeah, this was a buy area from 2018 We bought right here And look at the results We have bought here This was 38 ish Took off to 60 probably 72 And went back down right back down into our buy That time it hit one time. I remember that Fun times man But you see then I dropped back down it dropped back into a buy I think we try to play it again. And when it broke down, we just got out of it Hasn't really done anything else since it did drop way down here Then went dropped to 22 went up to 37 It's been around 25 for the most part except this one week that it went from What was the low from 24 to 60?  Let me see how high do I want to just keep it right here. That's the new buy area


Dear students, in the last class we have seen crop weather interaction for a sorghum, pigeon pea and grounded. In this class we would like to see the crop weather interaction for cotton and sugar cane crop. These crops are cultivated in India and it is one of the most commercial crops. Let us see the crop weather interaction for cotton crop. Cotton is one of the important crop cultivated for fiber. It comes under a C3 type plants based on the photosynthesis process. Let us see the crop weather interaction during the germination phase. For optimum temperature for seedling emergence is 18 to 30 degree Celsius with a minimum of 14 degree Celsius. As well as the maximum temperature is up to 40 degree Celsius is also existed. During the seedling emergence or seed germination it requires optimum moisture, optimum temperature as well as oxygen. The cotton seed consisting of 8 times more oil, 5 times more protein than the maize seed. It covers with a thick cuticle, it requires more moisture for imbibition as well as to catalyze the above side component into a label form it requires more oxygen. Therefore the optimum temperature is also very required for seed germination. It is around 20 to 30 degree Celsius. Let us see the crop weather interaction for different growth stages. Let us see the crop weather interaction for vegetative stage cool weather prolonged cloudy weather harm the vegetative growth. This crop requires an optimum day temperature of above 20 degree Celsius and a night temperature of above 12 degree Celsius is always required for proper bud formation as well as flowering. Let us see the temperature requirement during the bold development and maturation. It is around 27 to 32 degree Celsius. Under the temperature of above 38 degree Celsius the yield is reduced. The minimum rainfall requirement of a cotton is 500 to 650 mm. Let us see the crop weather interaction for sugarcane. Sugarcane requires a long warm growing season with a high incidence of solar radiation during the day time because sugarcane produced more than 100 tonnage of biomass it triggered by the photosynthesis process. Therefore it requires a long warm growing season as well as with a high incidence of solar radiation is most essential. It requires an optimum moisture throughout the growth stages. It can be cultivated in early season and also in the late season. Early season starts from November to mid March and the late season starts from February to April. If you start the early season the sprouting takes almost 16 to 23 days. While if you are going with a late season during the hot weather period it the germination is completed within 7 to 15 days. Therefore the temperature is determining the important factor for germination of or sprouting of sugarcane sets. The optimum temperature requirement for sprouting or germination of a stem cutting is 32 to 38 degree Celsius. For its maximum growth during more than 6 to 7 months it requires an optimum temperature of 22 to 30 degree Celsius is most essential. Though the growth period is very long so we should be consider the temperature factor therefore we should consider the base temperature. The base temperature for different stages like shoot emergence, tailoring as well as internode elongation it requires 12 degree, 14 degree and 18 degree respectively. The base temperature below which the plant cannot able to grow the activity is stopped. Let us see the maturity phase or the ripening phase. During this phase the sugarcane requires a cool night hours as well as warm temperature. The relative low temperature between 20 to 10 degree Celsius is required for the end of the season for better ripening. Let us see the water requirement of a sugarcane crop. During a long duration crop it can stand up to the period of 12 months in the field. It requires an optimum irrigation water throughout the growth period. It can be supplemented or it can be distributed evenly distributed in all the months. It requires an optimum water is 1500 to 2500 mm, thank you.


Lane 4, Carlos Brown from the Bahamas, Lane 5, Alfred Nisbettsen gets a Nevis, Lane 6. They had gotten into their set positions. Nora Robinson of Bermuda goes in 7, and Nazario Goms of Anguilla is in Lane 8. Ethan Sam, double medalist at the Curved Games last year in Bahamas for Grenada. Didn't contest the 100 meters here, and doing just the 200, Carlos Brown of the Bahamas finished down the field, 6th in the 100 final last night. As we look at Alfred Nisbettsen, Kitz and Nevis, no Carlos Brown from the Bahamas. He doesn't turn up for the 200 meters. He would have been bitterly disappointed knowing him not being able to serious the challenge for a 100 medal. And here's a disqualification for Curacao's Joshua Rivier, 21-46 man, fastest in the field. He's been disqualified, and he doesn't understand why we'd love to get another look at that. And so the second fastest man in this heat, not showing up for the race, and the fastest man facing disqualification. Here's a look at it. He does go there. Don't know what he may have heard. Don't know what he may have felt, but... He is suggesting that he probably heard something. Well, he is protesting his case, as we saw with the Jamaican in the 400 final for under 20 boys last night. Once the officials make up their mind, there's no going back. Let's see if he'll have better luck. Chief starter London Watts now goes across to have a word with him. And I don't think Mr. Watts is having any of it. Certainly from our vantage point, it looks fairly cut and dry. Everyone was in the set position. He left, and it wasn't even one of those cases regarding where one person leaves marginally and then everybody else kind of follows. He just went out in the blocks all on his own. So it was pretty evident. Disappointing for Curacao's Joshua Riviere. Curacao brought a pretty decent country of sprinters, and I suspect they should have a decent 4x100 boys on the 20-team. Riviere should be pretty fresh for that later on today. And amped up. Yes. Clears the way for Ethan Sam of Grenada. Goes in lane number three, the 17-year-old. Set. Off they go. Top four, sure to be in the semifinal. And there are five of them in this first teeth. Nisbet of St. Kitts and Nevis has run a really good curve. Sam tries to step forward. Nisbet in charge. Robinson of Bermuda finishing well. Robinson of Bermuda comes through into second behind Nisbet of St. Kitts and Nevis with Sam well down in third for Grenada. But a very good performance coming from this young man, Alfred Nisbet of St. Kitts and Nevis. 21-98, the official winning time. Don't think it's going to be the fastest heat that we'll see by any stretch of the imagination. But fairly straightforward qualification for the young man there. Straight forward qualification for most of the competitors in this field because top four advancing will have 24-4 the semifinal round. And Nisbet running a solid curve and then holding on down the home stretch. No one really threatening that first place position with the Bermudian coming through late to take second position. The alone Sam, almost having a conversation out there in lanes two and three. They would know each other as well from the Winward Islands school games. Here's confirmation, negative 1.6 metres per second. The win speed, 21-98 for Nisbet, 22-24 for Robinson, 22-43 for Sam. And Theodore St. Lucia gets through a 22.43. Nazaria Goms of Anguilla will have to wait and see if his 22-72 is good enough to be among the four next best times.


I want to bring this out to the community. So of course, I'm an advocate for Ayurveda. Hi, my name is Raina Joshi and I'm in the second year practitioner program at Southern California University of Health Sciences. I found that SCU was the most inclusive and integrative, primarily because they offer a combination of online virtual access and also in clinic, which really caters well to someone like me. I do commute from San Diego, but luckily it's just once a week here in clinic, we actually get to apply our skills and knowledge. Clinic offers evaluations. We get to do fun therapies. The faculty is extremely supportive in explaining and expanding on the concepts that we've learned in class. So I love clinic. I also get to interact one-on-one with the amazing faculty that we have. Meet the personality of each of the faculties. They're amazing. Feels like a family here. I was thoroughly impressed with the background on the faculty. They are not only academicians, but they also have, each of them have their own private practice, which I find extremely important because now we have instructors or teachers that are also clinicians. And clinic is where we need to be and bringing their experience and expertise from the clinic has been a very valuable experience. More so because I've seen a growth in my own journey, in my own personal self, and I want to bring this out to the community. So of course, I'm an advocate for Ayurveda and I'd love to refer SCU to a friend.


Alrighty, let's watch this here. Oh, okay, I still feel like that sound cracks me up here. That one. There's something about the combination of that with a hit sound missing and then how it flies off here. This seems very fast. Actually, is it flying? It's behind this. I'm not quite buying the physics of this piece here. I'm gonna turn off the sound. And it's also a bit tricky now with this A at a piece here of the tree. Not like super tangents, you have overlaps into a little bit of a tangent there. And I guess it helps with the silhouette but I will give this a different color than default green. I'll actually take this out and maybe just keep it lower and have like maybe surrounding elements and just keep that silhouette nice and clear starting to lose some of those elements. Again, it kind of works with the color as a silhouette but I feel like in terms of clarity I would just take that off or just blur it. I don't know. There's something where even this feels almost too busy. I mean, I can see clearly this has texture and it works. It's just something where it feels like the compression of this video you have these artifacts here, then you have same thing here but simpler look. This almost feels like a bit of a blurry texture there. A lot of detail. It seems like separate elements slap together that don't quite fit together. This is super picky in terms of looks. I mean, I should be concentrating on the animation but that's kind of, I don't know, I was going to bring that up. Maybe we can do something else with that. Camera wise, watch out. There's some wobble right there in Z. And I'm not quite sure. I'm seeing a little bit of a changer. I'm not quite sure if this is just the lens. There's not too much of a parallax. So this might just be a lens change but once we get to here it is a translate out probably so we can see this whole creature. I'm not a super fan of the camera. At this point, there's just something about the sudden rotation where I would wait. I would wait for the creature to really motivate this. We're a bit too in sync with it. With that slight change in horizon as well we're kind of tilting over dipping here. With that sudden translate out it just feels a bit too CG or physically to have something like that. I would do something where you do a lens change. You just zoom out to just the wider lens. And maybe what you'll have to do is lens that with the lens that you like and then just zoom in which will flatten the image to get this composition. If that makes sense. Cause I think this seems okay. It doesn't have a crazy distortion towards here or any type of scaling issues or not scaling but where it feels like it starts to scale because of the distortion. So to me it feels like keep this lens then go to here without that forward translate just zoom in to get to that same composition. Yeah, just for the camera. This one has some fly path issues a little bit. There's a bit of a sudden stop right there. Just generally not talking about even the angle and the physics of this is just boom right there. Watch out. There's a forward translate that has a sudden stop. That seems pretty good. I think that seems all right. And then that feels if that's the push off area it would be here. It feels like we're suddenly translating forward through there. That's probably my dog in the background. Probably as in you probably hear this. And then you have a sudden stop through there. Again a bit of a hiccup stop there. And at the end it feels better path wise. Although I sense a little bit of a sudden acceleration and a change there. That exit is nice with that line on the tail. But as you go down here you can see how that base of the tail boop suddenly goes up. So there's a bit of an upwards pop there. Watch out. It feels like the wings are going up slower than the flap down. And sometimes it's a bit even. You want to make sure that with wings on the way down they're slow because there's more wind resistance as this is open. And then on the way up it's going to be faster because let me get to a frame where you have it here. Because they are folded in. There's less wind resistance. So up fast, slow down. And then you can start offsetting these a bit. They're a bit too in sync in terms of when they go up. Yeah, it's okay. The drag of that seems okay. But this going up here it's a bit straight on a path. You can draw that line. It just kind of follows where it feels like even that dip down, even though that's cool you can do a bit more complications left and right with a bit of a rotation. It's going to make that a bit more complex and not just on one straight axis. A path wise and here rotation wise down and up. And you might have to come in maybe a bit like that. Just give this a bit more interest. Same would happen. It would be happening with the tail. So everything feels a bit too one axis. Don't forget the offsets there. That seems pretty cool though. Watch this. You're a bit locked in this head pose right through there. You get to this point. Then there's that path hiccup. And then here we're locked, locked, locked.  So keep going with some post changes there. And then it feels a bit too less of a drag but more I am willingly putting my head up here for that drag over that impact versus a natural up. Like a post change, a nice line of action through there. And then a bit of a drag. Just feels a bit too exaggerated, overanimated. But I do like the offset maybe a bit strong. Let's say let's keep it for now. And then I would try to find a way to have a bit of a sharper impact through the hips on the backside and to the pelvis in the backside there. Just as you land to really feel that impact and stop. I know it's gonna be a good amount of cushioning but right now feels just a bit slow up. It's a little bit smooth on that background. This watch out your path, a couple of things. We're going out this way and then it suddenly stops and goes straight up. And then it's a bit too, even though it's a cool silhouette just looking at this, it just feels a bit broken through there with looking straight at us. I would still keep a little bit of a three quarter look like that where you can see this side of the cheek but it still feels a bit fast. That section through there, fast. And even this down a couple of things. Hey, I think I would ease into that a bit more. So just that a bit slower then. And you can have a perceived speed by opening the jaw there fast. But the overall head move that will be a bit slower and watch out it's really, really fast. And then suddenly really, really slow through there with a flat path. So feeling a bit like this, pathwise versus where you can go not that low but just smoothing out that arc. And then again, some complexities through there where it feels like that's just the head here. So maybe don't go as open. So maybe only till here, but with some variations and then get some sideways tilts and shakes and that I will probably lead a bit more with it sideways tilt in there versus leaning with the chin. And so that's making again that head change turn here, that path a bit more interesting. And here you can see how it's a bit too open. It gets very straight here. It's almost like there's a translate down with the jaw. I'm not sure. I keep spending a long time since I used that rig. I almost cheat that we're teaching up here. So it doesn't feel like this big open two with a translate. I don't know if you have shape controls here. I know it's a membrane, but giving this maybe a bit more of a curvature will take away that blocky feel. And then watch out that up is a bit straight up and then stop again. It just mainly when you have moves like this, I will play a little bit more with side rotations and Y and an X or and whatever and Z whatever rotations you have in there. And I feel like again, when you have this here and it bounces off and this feeling super light, especially with the contrast of this being super light and this over there, I don't buy that the weight of this is going to hit the head and make it go this far. You know, move over this far. Not quite buying that. I would reduce this by a lot, but still give this a bit more weight and then watch out. Pathwise really, you're going here to here. Hold on, let me get a bit of an onion skinning. So you're down here and then up here. And it's only low here than the impact. It feels like the next key will be here. To really, whoops, to really get that path. Even that first one feels too low. Go higher here, keep that one. That one would be a bit higher or globally.  But yeah, not quite buying that. This will be affecting the dragon that much.  Watch out. Pop in the shape through there. Right through there. And that starts to feel a bit too broken. Gotta watch out for your overall body lines. I'm still a massive fan of this though. It's great. And yeah, the camera, also the speed of all of this just kind of kills the weight. Give this a bit more frames in the turn, but then delay the camera. Still like that hop though, that's cool. It's both a Wyvern dragon, as I believe, as they use wings and arms. And then he got that, what I said before. That is a bit too much forward, keep that on that path and maybe a bit slowed down. But this feels better in terms of how low it gets and then with the push off. That's interesting. I do kind of like that. I was gonna say maybe curl this, but no, maybe that's kind of like a, because you haven't curled before and after. I'll keep that kind of cool. Yeah, and then like I said, the sudden forward, a little bit of a hiccup there. And even that could be a tad slower, couple of frames slower and then watch out that sudden bump up there. And that is that. It's cool stuff though, little picky things here and there. Some general notes regarding just past stuff. And that's that, thanks. All right, there's an email.

All right, so it's the last screencast for assignment one and in this one We're going to just look a little bit one of the synchronization problems So assignment one, you know just divides into two parts in the first part you implement locks condition variables Read a writer locks and write a test for reader writer locks And the second part you implement use those primitives to solve two synchronization problems There's this whale mating problem and a stoplight problem What important caveat here is that it is really important to get your synchronization primitives working Not only before you start the synchronization problems because you will struggle to solve the problems If you don't have working primitives, but also because the primitives get used throughout the rest of these assignments So if your locks don't work, you will struggle mightily with assignment two and assignment three And it is likely that you will not be able to complete those assignments without working locks and condition variables Reader writer locks may be useful for those assignments You will find places where they are potentially appropriate But the most important part of this assignment is to complete your locks or condition variables correctly So that you can use them down the road The nice thing about this however is that it's very easy to check whether or not those are correct So once you've completed those, you know If you have course nap to talk to just show them those primitives and they should be able to verify very quickly That they're correct because there's just not a huge amount of code to write for locks and condition variables Reader writer locks You also can get help with but again They're just not as critical down the line and the synchronization problems are by far the least important part of the assignment Because this is code that won't even be included in your kernel in later assignments You'll disable the sync probes option in the kernel configuration and you won't even have that code there That said hopefully these are fun give you a chance to think a little bit about synchronization So let's see how they work because like The reader writer lock tests We haven't really given you useful testing code here. The testing code will do something It'll start off threads that print things, but you kind of need to be able to process the output So where does this code? Let's start off. Where does the code live? It lives in sync probes. So we've divided the The code that you're going to write here into two sections There's stuff that's in sync probes and let's look at the way I made an example and Then there's test code for that in test sync probes. See now. Remember we will overwrite all the contents of This file along with everything in testing and select other files when we do our automated gradient So please you are welcome to modify the file. This this comment is a little bit alarmist But it will be overwritten. So we'll change the comment to make that a little bit more clear But everything in here is going to be removed. So Now in order to remember the whale may name problem as described in the assignment which I'll pull up here Right, so we have the whale mating problem and the idea here is that we are going to You have three types of thread you have males females and matchmakers and The males and females want to make with each other, but they need a matchmaker to help them So we're going to start our driver code over here is going to if you look at the whale mating example here it starts Goes to these three types of Thread and mating I remember correctly is Where I'm a and mating is 10 so we're going to start 10 male threads 10 male female threads and 10 matchmakers and Then each one of those threads when it starts is going to start its own Rapper it's going to start in its own wrapper function. So we have a male wrapper and the male wrapper Really just calls male, which is the function that you need to write Your function should call male start and male end male start when the male starts mating and they'll end when it finishes and Same thing that the code for the females and for the matchmakers is identical So the code that you need to write over is over here it's just really three functions male female and matchmaker and Want to think about what's the invariant here that we would be able to test in this assignment? So for example, what should happen if we start up 10? Let's say we start 10 female threads. What should happen? Then let's say we start 10 male threads. What should happen at that point now? Let's say we start one matchmaker now. What should we see happen? Remember the males and females you need a trio of threads to all have been started and ready To for there to be a match So if I started 10 females and then 10 matchmakers Still nothing is going to happen. And so this is really that the good way to think about the problem Clearly you need some type of communication between the males the females and the matchmakers this problem is You know because it requires this inter thread communication Not a good fit for walks, which don't support that very naturally However, it is a potentially a good fit for several of the other synchronization Primitives that are designed to support communication between multiple threads The code that we've given you when you call matchmaker starting matchmaker and we'll just print out the Whales type and ID so this will print out you know male and Maybe, you know, you know print off. Let's see here. I think when we set the name of the thread Yeah, so we we set the names of the thread down here to male thread You know male whale thread one female whale thread one. So is this prints out? You know that out you'll have to look at that output very carefully to make sure that things are happening correctly However, we would encourage you to write a better test case here that actually You know explore some of the corner cases. I just discussed or Processed the output in a more intuitive way by looking at the output You can verify that your solution is correct but your eyes may start to hurt after a while and it's certainly a case where you can write code in this file that Ensures that your code is correct and we know this because we're going to do it So this is an example of how to approach one of the synchronization Problems the test code that you write for this will also It'd be helpful for you to look at some of the other tests that we've written and to think about the test That you wrote for your reader writer locks That's all good luck on assignment one this is the last screencast and Hope you may you write working synchronization produce
