Okay, one other feature that was added to spring boot 2.3 is the ability to specify a graceful shutdown So the weight container shutdown that can be quite abrupt and you can have like half-baked transactions So to speak things might not be finished for processing Having a graceful shutdown gives the application the capability to get to a graceful state for Having everything done so to speak so you want to give it a couple seconds to get anything that's in flight completed rather than just Terminating it abruptly so I'm gonna show you in this video how to set that up again It's two things that we need to do one is to set up spring boot We need to configure spring boot to enable this capability and then we need to make kubernetes aware of this capability So the first thing we want to do is come in and I'm gonna look at the inventory deployment file We would need to add in another environment property and this time it's gonna be named Creatively enough this is called server shutdown and the value we want set is going to be graceful So again, if there's a some type of in-flight database transaction Or if we're reading from a queue we'll get that work done before we terminate the JVM so this sets up the spring boot configuration and then for kubernetes itself We want to go in and add in Lifecycle And we'll call this pre-stop and we're gonna execute a command and Basically, we're gonna tell it to sleep for 10 seconds So we're gonna execute a shell command and the syntax for that is gonna be sh For shell it's a little weird how you have to escape every string into a common set of strings then comma C and then sleep 10 So we have a comma list of strings here. That's a shell command Minus C for a parameter and then sleep 10 So this is going to tell kubernetes to sleep for 10 seconds as it's shutting it down and that will allow Spring to go ahead and shut things down properly. I'm gonna pause the video and apply this to the other Two deployments real quick. So let me pause this. I'll be right back So for order service and the beer service. I've also applied the same values You can see now we have the environment property server shut down graceful and the stanza and the container the container image Lifecycle pre-stop exact command sleep 10 and The last step we want to do is we're gonna come over to the command line And what we want to do is say cube apply minus F inventory deployment and We ran into an error. So let's take a closer look at that Always see what I made up per stop. So this should be Pre and I'm pretty sure copied that Very simple mistake there miss typed the pre stop not per stop. So let's come back over to the command line saying the same And I'm just gonna make sure that saved Let me pause this and take a closer look And when I returned that I saw that I did in fact miss the per stop and inventory. So double-check order is correct and Immentory beer so they're all correct. So that's working better And we want the order Deployment as well. So that by doing our apply myself the deployment not again, I was gonna tell Kubernetes go ahead and Reapply those and it will recreate those and We can see here like the inventory service that is terminating We also have a beer service terminating and we can see that New one is starting up. So by doing that apply shuts down the old one brings up a new one and Gets that ready for us. So those values have now been set and our spring boot Applications will shut down gracefully like toggle back over to intelligent just recap again The two things that we need to apply first is an environment property called server shutdown graceful that enable spring boot for that and then for kubernetes to Be sensitive to that we are telling kubernetes to before stopping it give it ten seconds to allow it to finish processing


And last one here is a nice one. It's gonna be a patch auto to 10 of Bianca Belair Very nice low number to a patch auto there. That's awesome 7 out of 10 on the Bianca Belair that'll definitely work That's on that one guys. We'll get a mag on that one 7 out of 10 on the Bianca very nice gold


So it looks like this is going to be Sonya and Gears after all. Jarrus, he did it, Tweety, you madman. It's official as well with the handshake, wow. And I know that Dizzy's been practicing a few different characters too. So for him to stick with Sonya here character, he's used a lot, but he hasn't been practicing others. What is this month one of the game? Sonya and Gears? Yeah, these were the terrors of month one. I've never been so hyped to see Jarrus. You'll just start with the hot that was so sick. Yeah, I know, yeah. I'm like stoked to see a remaster Sonya and infinite war than Gears. But no, that is the state of things. Characters you don't see quite as often anymore. Here we go. Dizzy TT versus Tweety. Sonya versus Jarrus. Here we go. Oh, man, I'm looking forward to this here. I'm too, coming through. All right, keeping a pretty non-committal there. Plus, neat. And that intimidating walk. The nonsense down for to set. I missed you, Jarrus. I miss you. Fight. Try to down one it. No, that little dangling leg. Got her. Got the option select as well. Heck, was that? I'm not sure. Woo, high crush. We have yet to see an interruption from Tweety, from Dizzy TT. Free patch, Jarrus. OK. Give me those eyes. Thank you very much. Tweety on the board. Sonya wasn't keeping up with Jarrus there. She wasn't seeing him. She was quite convincing as well. He's calling it off. Stop the match. Yeah, we'll see what happens here. What a first game by Jarrus. By Tweety, I should say. First of all, the character choices and, of course, yeah. The way he did, that was looking pre-patch all over. I think Dizzy TT, respecting Jarrus a bit too much. It's not the beast that it used to be. Right, if you're somebody watching from home who hasn't been keeping up quite as much, there have been changes to Jarrus a few times over the last year. And while Jarrus doesn't suck, all right, but there definitely have been some changes and some nerfs. Tweety was creeping there, was listening to the advice from Foxy Grandpa. It's quite nice to have a coach that is a Foxy Grandpa. Oh, yeah. Waiting in Winner's side there. We'll see if there are changes in how he plays. I just thought a lot of it was getting steamrolled, to be honest. A lot of little interruptions with the down one that were very useful. Skate failed. Throw lose. We're still there. Yeah. Stacker. OK. Just walking in again, fair enough, the middle. Oh, there you go. Yeah, that was one of the changes. Oh, the mix. Not quite there on the whip. So we're going to cool here. Punish. Tweety. There was no bar for Dizzy TT, don't you? Back throw. Snowball on that. Oh, that was cool. Ha, ha, ha. 19% and no extra button. But Dizzy was ready. It is enough. Just enough. No discipline. Dizzy TT with the adaptation of the board. Fart. The little hop just in case of Sandra. Yeah. Yeah, he's avoiding that. Smart, smart. Oh, yeah. Not in the rain. Tweety's trying to make it happen underneath, but now you can see she's just above. But if he gets it, it makes sense. Sure, yeah, if he finds it, then he gets it not only damage, but he gets to get right close. And the crushing goal, of course, because it's whip. Yeah, it's a whip. Quite a few times. That's true. Doesn't watch his feet. Stay alive in this match. Great. Not in there in time. Oh, hey, cancels it, and Dizzy gets to grab. It's very close now. Dude is in trouble. Chip has an issue here, 6%. Yeah, really swinging for the fences on that kind of thing. All right. Wow. Back to back, convincing matches. It's going to be 1-1 in the last round of top 16 winner's side. It was pretty convincing in favor of Tweety, like you said, and then it was pretty convincing in favor of Dizzy. Round one, fight. Spreadry match, match number three here. OK, funky timing. Now it seems a little bit more like deliberate button timings here from Tweety as he moves in. Escape failed. Yeah, nobody looks for the throw out of the corner. Now, the real question is, David, when will we see the 4-2-1 into wrong choke? It's Tweety, after all. He has no peer. Well, no need to yet, I guess. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, not bad. Damn. Not bad. Oh, here's a chance to 2-4. Oh, yes, hello. No offense, a bar. You mean to break away? Yeah, that might have just been him wanting to block. Now, this is an issue. One mix into failed blow, David. You got her. Not going to matter. Try to roll away. And nope, gets dunked over it yet again. But that, as you said, is making them whiff. That is the condition for the fatal throw. I'm sorry for the crushing blow. Yeah, jump and kick. No body's flesh. OK, yeah, this is exactly what Tweety would love to do. If he could just loop this forever, I'm sure he would. Oh, that was cool. Came back to haunt the option so much. Yes, good read yet again. We've seen that twice. Not there. OK, wait, is it going to be? No. They hit confirm. Breaks, of course, but still very close. 6%. And it's going to do it. So back and forth and back and forth. Tweety, game one, pretty convincing. Dizzy, like you said, pretty convincing on the second. And now, Tweety's right back there, 2 to 1. Is this scripted? Back and forth. This might be scripted. No, it's not. Don't worry about it. I'm not sure it is. OK, 2 to 1. Yeah, as I said, this is hard to predict. And it just shows how odd this set is. So will there be a switch for Dizzy, Tweety? That's the question. I wouldn't expect it as they try to decide who will play against Ninja Killer in the next round of winners and who against Conqueror in losers. What a reward, man. What a reward. And you don't want to do either of those things. Both tough opponents in the next round, so either way. And now there was no change. Back to Sonya. Yeah, that's what I was looking for. Potentially final match of this set. But it's been so back and forth, I almost feel like Dizzy should take this. Right, yeah, by default, right? Of course, if that keeps up, Tweety's going to be the one who takes it. Dizzy's got to get some interruptions going. He's looking great so far. I love the movement here. Just very deliberate constant offense. Huge, lively, any interrupts. Beautiful stuff by Dizzy. David's history is repeating itself. Look at that. That's right. That's right. If only he could have selected a different option to avoid the whiff on the roll. But oh, well, blocked correctly and tries to take a little bit too much time there. Gears, we'll set the fast down one. Doesn't interrupt anymore. I don't know what is the frail. We're right in there yet again. Dizzy's in trouble here. There's no defensive bar. He's got to deal with Gears in his face. And maybe trying to duck and just didn't work out. Call out on the throw. Back throw. Tweety in there again. If he finds one more hit, one more grab. Up three. I mean, this is Sonya. Oh, Sonya can do it. Here's a chance. This might be the start of something. Let's try it again. And not quite there. Walks forward deceivingly into the knee. And that's the match point for Tweety. Match point, Tweety, over Dizzy TT. Final round, fight. Tweety has been waiting for that. Oh, nope. Again. We punished. We almost set a situation. Dizzy's got to keep snowballing. The risky stuff from Dizzy TT. No fear. 14% left. OK, is that enough? Yes, Dizzy. Wow. Exit two to two. So indeed, it's back and forth and back and forth. Like, oh, effectively as well. That's cute. Well, he's already dead. OK, now he's dead for sure. Fatality. I'm not for long, though. Let's gear us. Yeah. He'll be back.   I've never noticed that the drone said blade on it. Oh, did it? Yeah. Oh, that's sick. OK, we're thinking once again. No, we're not. No, I think that's just going to be the same. And you've proven yourself if you're either of these players that your character can do it clearly. Let's do it, too. And convincing passion once again. Yeah. Hoppity hop. Little bunny rabbit Sony on the other side. What is that? OK, big opening. Nice confirm for Tweety. If nothing else should cost defensive borrow, that's what he expected in Disney, which saves his meter. Love it. It was still a lot of time ago. It was, it was, it was. Back throw. He's looking for the grab. He's just wrong. Of the direction. Oh, no. Well, no joke more. No joke. We're stealing a turn for sure right there. Oh, oh, all over the place. It was a punish. And he keeps it unbreakable. It's not going to be enough. Oh, he already had the force. Yeah, he had whipped it a few times. That's true. There is no turning back. It's match point, Tweety. Tweety. I love that choice. I'm keeping it unbreakable just to make sure. Option select, boys. Jump into the low sand trap. 200%. 200 damage. Kind of all the way. And that's been successful. OK. Continuation as well. Head shot. Did he make this happen? This is where it needs to come. This is where it needs to come into. Uh-oh. It's working out so far. Oh, Tweety's here. These gentlemen are so disrespectful. Mitsu, come on. One more away. Tweety. This is not death. He has a bar. This is not death. Mitsu. This is not death. Five first time. What's it going to be? What's it going to be? The blow's up. He barely gets it. 3 to 2 for Tweety in the end. God, it really was back and forth every single game right there. You know it's a good set. When David himself screams David. He moves on. And again, his reward is to play against Ninja Killer. So now, again, we've gotten through the first round.


Pure Velvet Collostrum Powder Review. Hey, what's up guys? It's Josh here today. I want to do a little review on this Pure Velvet Collostrum Powder. Now, I don't know if you guys have been following my channel But I've made several videos on Collostrum probably about eight I thought it was a good idea to try a new brand of Collostrum I've said this in a lot of my other videos But I've really tried to put all the benefits of Collostrum in one video or to kind of list Generally all the benefits and I just can't get to it. It has so so many different properties It's almost kind of like the one and only food you would need as a human It really just covers all bases It seems to be endless as far as what's actually in it if my face is just looking old or aged at all the first thing I go for is Collostrum every time and it's amazing because whenever I get that look in my face like man I need to take care of myself a couple days heavy Collostrum and it's a hundred percent gone So anyways guys, let's jump into the pros and the cons that I had with this supplement in particular of the pros is A lot of the main pros with Collostrum are the same with this one that it has very very clear skin or at least I have very very clear skin when I take it That's just one of the biggest things that I noticed it has like almost like an anti-aging type property Certain things could kind of clear up my face But this literally feels like it's putting health back into my face in my body Which is one of the only supplements that I feel that way about any sort of stomach issue This is supposed to help I have heard of doctors in extreme cases Recommending Collostrum to their patients who've just tried everything else which is actually nice because I was told that doctors Aren't allowed to prescribe anything natural But this stuff is just so so amazing for certain people who actually needed it as a lifesaver And it's just overall a good digestive aid and that's one of the reasons I take it all the time Another pro is that you get a small amount of fullness in this. I don't know why but this is oddly filling Yeah calories 20, so there's almost no calories in this one, but it is very very filling It has little bits of fats in there little bits of sugars little bits of protein because like I said It's almost like the one food that you'd never need to eat any other food again Collostrum is basically first milking of any mammal So it's basically like the mother passing on all the antibodies on all the superfoods that she possibly can't into the baby And this comes from cows so you still get that same benefit But it's just absolutely loaded with nutrients and makes sense why you feel full in the morning It's hard to describe, but I get a very clean feeling when I take this I mean I feel good on a lot of other supplements, but when I take this I just feel more clean Very hard to describe, but I do notice it almost every time that I take it Endurance muscle strength and recovery now. This is known to basically help with fitness I think there was even a story where a full team in Australia used Collostrum and the Olympics and that team basically won to me I feel like I get about 10% more endurance 10% more muscle recovery 10% more just everything involving the gym I'm good 10% boost which is pretty nice You know again, it's not going to be like 50% or 100% It's not gonna like you're just gonna get all huge, but it's definitely going to help I think fat loss building muscle and it's gonna clean out your gut Which you need to absorb the nutrients anyway So if your guts all messed up, you're not gonna absorb things and this basically just kind of rewires it They do have a pretty large scooper here. So you are gonna get a pretty good amount I do recommend people who are trying colostrum for the first time I want to see if you notice the benefits or if you have something really really bad with your body and Colostrum is supposed to help it. I do recommend taking a large dose in the beginning You've kind of be hesitant to because it's going to be expensive But it really is that good and if you're actually hurting or things in your body are not very good This one is a five gram scooper, which is definitely on the higher ends I would say most doses for most people is about two to four grams And I could see about a half gram to a gram maintenance every day like in the morning And then the last pro I have with this is that it seems to be higher quality There's just a certain kind of feeling that I get when I touch higher quality colostrum and this kind has it I just went over to symbiotics to try that one again and Symbiotics has that cheaper feel like before so I was like, ah, I really do like this It seems much more premium and I really do like when they have a certain amount of like the extracts or a certain amount of The antibodies from colostrum in the extract. It's not just random colostrum It actually contains certain amounts of key ingredients, which I really do appreciate as well forward again to the cons of this supplement I don't really have too many guys The main one I guess I would say is that it's not vegan all colostrum isn't vegan And it's actually sad because I have vegan friends who are really into health and I can't recommend them this and this is like One of the best supplements that I've ever come across in my life. It's pretty much like one of the best super foods I've ever come across in my life. It's unbelievable how many boxes this checks But unfortunately it almost can never be vegan because it comes from first milking of any mammal and then the last con Really is that it's pretty expensive and this one actually is kind of like mid-priced It could be more, but it's also not super super cheap. However, I didn't really mind it because I found it to be very very high quality I like the tub. I like to be big scooper. I'm overall. I'm pretty much a fan of this colostrum I really really enjoyed it, but anyways guys, let me know what you think of colostrum Do you take it every day? What kind of colostrum do you take? I would be very interested to see down below run the road to 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of Guys help you guys are the best having a great out here. Hopefully having a great at home. See you on the next video. Peace


Thank you for checking into coming out and shooting with us at the Jackson Hole shooting experience. When we have group experiences, I just want to tell you a little bit about them so that you can give me enough information that I can hone in on the perfect experience for you. And we will start with the shotgun bay. Our shotgun bay that we use at the Jackson Hole Gun Club has a five stand, and this means that five people can be on the shooting line at any given time. And between one and two instructors should work with them. There's a big shade tent right behind the shooting area, and there's plenty of space and chairs there for another five people to sit and watch. However, each round, which is 25 clay pigeons being thrown through the air, takes about 15 minutes to 30 minutes, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. It's really hard to know exactly how long, but it takes about 15 to 30 minutes. And so if you were there for one hour and you had five people shooting, and then they went back and sat down and took a break while the other groups shot, there'd be half as much shooting for each of them compared to a group of five that came up and just continually shot. So if a group of five came and just kept shooting and was really, you know, into it going fast paced, it's possible that they could shoot around in 10 minutes, and they could shoot six rounds over the course of one hour. And if they're there for an hour and a half, even more. On the other hand, we have had groups come out that are a little bit slower paced and more methodical, and three people could take as much as one hour to shoot one round. So it's impossible for us to tell you exactly how much shooting each person will get in. If we have larger groups than 10, it's just not recommended for the shotgun area. Someone's going to be sitting out a little bit too much, and we can change things around and have everybody fire at 10 clay pigeons and then rotate through. We'll make it work, but I would generally say that groups of 10 or less in the shotgun bay is the better way to go. So I've told you a bit about the shotgun bay. Now let's talk about the archery area. The archery area has enough space for five or 10 people to be hanging around. If we have two coaches working with the group, you can have three, four people on the firing line at a time. The other people are standing back and watching and cheering and waiting for their turn. And if we have a third coach there, then we can also have a throwing tomahawks, throwing knives, maybe blow guns, shooting the blowdarts. We can have that set up as well and have more people actively engaged at any given time. And so that's the archery bay. I'd say that usually about an hour, hour and a half. And most people, their shoulders are feeling it. They've had their fill after an hour to hour and a half in the archery area. The pistol area. There's a pistol bay at the Jackson Hole Gun Club that is exclusively for pistols. And depends on how much a person wants to shoot. It depends on how you would like us to pace your experience. We can either shoot a lot of ammunition or very little. We can have more instruction and less just fun. And on the other hand, if you want to just have lots of shooting, lots of fun, we can go through a lot of ammunition and have less long-term education involved. In the pistol bay, we have room for probably three benches, which means that we could have 12 or so people there shooting at any given time. In the pistol bay, as in the rifle bay, we only have one person on the firing line for each coach that we have. The other people will be standing back and watching and learning and rotating in as frequently as every couple of two, three, four minutes, rotating in and taking some shots. And then we'll bring out a different gun and they'll come up and take a turn with that. And then everybody rotates through and we bring out another gun. And we'll have several benches going at a time. So that's kind of how the pistol bay goes. It can last anywhere from an hour to hour and a half. And everyone stays active and having a great time. The rifle bay is located near the pistol bay. And we can have three or four benches going. And again, three or four people per bench. And each bench has one instructor. And the more instructors you have and the fewer shooters, the more shooting each person gets. If we are doing the rifle bay, we can also shoot pistols in that area. And this is often a wonderful, wonderful option for groups of 10 or 15 people. We'll just have quite a few benches, three or four benches in the rifle bay. We'll have all the rifles and pistols there, make it a three hour experience. And everyone can rotate through and just have a good old time shooting them. Something that will really help us with honing in on the perfect experience for your group is knowing your budget and knowing how many people are the minimum that you can have with us. We have done experiences for groups as large as 40 people. We cannot do groups of 75 all at one time. Now we can break up if you have a larger group. We can break it up into smaller groups and you can send people out 12 at a time, 15 at a time, 20 at a time. And we can make that work and they will get a much better experience. If you are price conscious, let us know that right from the beginning. Generally, it is somewhere from $350 to $550 per person for our large group experiences. And if you don't really care about the top end and just want to make sure everybody's having a great time and you don't care if it's 10,000 or 20,000, you just want to make sure everybody has a great time, let us know that. I encourage you to look at our TripAdvisor reviews and you can trust us. We're going to make money on this. We're a for-profit business. However, we're also not going to rake you through the coals. We have our pricing. We have our costs. We have our profit margins. We'll work it out. We love it when you just say, I have this many people and this much money. What can you do for us? And we can make it wonderful regardless of what your preferred price point is. Another consideration with large groups is weather. There are only so many areas that have shelter overhead. So if you have a very large group and it rains, we really need to think about that ahead of time. There are some options like renting a tent from a local company and you would be welcome to do that. The gun club that we use is just fine with the tent company coming and setting up an area over the archery area. The shotgun area does have a big covering. However, the shooters will actually be shooting out from under the covering and that's the only way it can be. Fortunately, here in Jackson Hole, usually the rain comes in and it goes away within 10 or 15 minutes, but that can't always be the case. When we do have a large group, the rain contingency is something that unfortunately if there's any concern that there's going to be rain, that's a risk that you have to take on and we are not able to do that. We book the coaches weeks, months in advance, and we have promised them that we're going to pay them. We've promised the gun club that we're going to be there. And rain is a risk, but a pretty low risk. I would say that if it is looking like there's going to be rain, probably worth renting a tent. And if you have a smaller group of fewer than 20 people or so, we can probably just organize things at the last minute and improvise and overcome and make things happen without even renting a tent. I look forward to chatting with you in person or by email or one of our booking gurus will be able to help you set up the perfect experience for you and your group. Thank you so much for your interest and let's go out and have a great time shooting. What the experience did for me and how it will change me as I go back to the corporate world is I'll know people better. With corporate groups who people who maybe know each other professionally, maybe it's the first time they met. What's really cool is to see how by the end of their time together doing this team building experience, they're acting as if they've known each other for years. What I loved about it was the safety aspect. The instructors were all about safety. So right up front, you really felt comfortable. Oh, nice. You start shooting these guns. Maybe you're not hitting the targets right away. By the end of the day, you've succeeded. You've hit those targets. You've had a little bit of competition with your coworkers and you just end up having a blast. So there was a bonding there that really brought us a little bit closer, gave us something to talk about. Building friendships was wonderful. And you just felt more comfortable with each other. Someone told me that they were coming out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. If they were to miss coming out and doing some shooting with the Jackson Hole shooting experience, I think that would be a huge loss. It's great team building. It really breaks down barriers. And whoever you bring is going to have so much fun with you. There's just no doubt about it.


Hey, this is Brett and this 2018 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Box Laramie Sport is stock number 13173Z. I'm here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck and Ram headquarters. This 2018 Ram 2500 has the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel. It has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped up. This truck is 100% ready to go. Delmonico Red Pearl Coat is the color and I shoot all my videos in 4K. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you like the video and how I do things here at Summit Automotive, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, click the bell notifications, and you'll get updates every time I do the videos here at Summit Auto and you might just find your next truck here. This one comes with the 20-inch painted alloy rims, part of that sport package. And it has open country Toyo tires. These are AT tires and they are LT28560R20s. They have a really good amount of tread left. I would say probably 80-90% of the tread on there, so really new tires. The sport package gives you the Bilstein shocks and you can see just how clean that frame and underbody is. This is a one owner clean title history out of Wyoming.  I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. You also get the color matched grille with the RAM logo. And the hood is in really nice shape. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. Passengers side front fender looks really good. And the passengers side rim, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. Now, as you go down this side of this 2018 RAM 2500, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence. In the vehicle you're looking at before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you. And once again, if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, the upper right hand part of the screen is a link to do that. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires and the frame and underbody is in very, very nice condition. So like that all the way underneath that has all the remaining factory exhaust. Very, very clean under here. The rockers and cab corners all look good and it comes with a nice set of tiger painted step bars.  Notice you get the blacked out 4x4 RAM logos back here, rear bumper has the parking sensors. There are a couple of little dings on the rear bumper but nothing too bad. Mainly right there and there. Tailgate is in excellent shape, comes with a back flip, fold up tonneau cover. That is in really nice condition as well and it also has a spray and bed liner. You get the fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package, seven pin wiring and LED bed lighting. Those lights turn on with that button right there and this is actually a Line-X spray and bed liner which is what I have on my truck. I consider it the best in the business and that Line-X bed liner goes on to the tailgate as well. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly and as you go down on the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side. Now these 4x4 stickers are just stickers so if you didn't like those you could always remove them. I know not everybody is a big fan of those. I think they look fine. Around here the last rim for full disclosure, no scuffs or scrapes on that, really really nice condition too. Driver's side doors and cab all look really good and these mirrors are heated. They fold up like so, they also fold in like that.  So the Sport package, normally these say Laramie on the back here but the Sport package just gives you the solid black leather backing on there. No rips or tears, memory driver's seat lumbar, both these front seats are heated and cooled and factory floor mats, auto headlamps, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, you get the leather bolster on the doors and those mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so you know that both sides are working properly. Take a quick look at the back seats. The back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. Does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have, power slide in rear window with the built-in rear defrost, you get the speakers in the ceiling, part of that Alpine premium selling system and once again no rips or tears on those seats. Factory floor mats back here, in-floor storage bins with removable containers for easy cleaning. You can put ice and drinks in there, it's like you have too many coolers, wherever you go.  You could get a RAM winter front, receiver hitch reducer and storage under this side of the back seats, other side has the factory subwoofer and these back seats are heated on the outboard side, there are your buttons for that and a 12 volt power point. Side curtain airbags and child safety locks on the back doors, bottoms of the doors all look really good, let's do the insides. You can go hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior.  On it you get a digital speedometer, compass and outside temperature display on that 7 inch LCD display. You get the heated leather wrap steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left and audio controls on the back of the steering wheel, six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. This one comes with the 8.44C radio, AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities, you have your heated seats, cooled seats and your backup cameras and heated steering wheel here, you can check out your backup camera there and your cargo cam which looks into the bed, if the tonneau cover wasn't on there you can see right into the bed, you have your climate controls here including your dual climate control and you can check out all your different apps on here including your projection manager, you can project your cell phone to the screen so while this one doesn't have the nav system you can project your cell phone via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to the screen and if you have Waze or Google Maps or some navigation program on your phone project it right to the screen it's like you have the nav right on the screen so pretty cool system there we actually did a demo on Android Auto with an 8.44C if you want to check that video it's in the upper right hand bar screen, down here you have your turned-off four-wheel drive, your more tactile climate and volume and tune controls, factory brake controller, downhill assist control, stability control, tow haul, factory exhaust brake, front to rear parking sensors, you can turn those off and on and you can control your heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel buttons right there, keyless entry with the remote start and you do get a 115 volt 150 watt plug-in right there, passenger side floor mat and seat are in fantastic condition, smells very clean inside this truck, headliners in great shape, you get the power sunroof, map lights, home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems, power sliding rear window button and your assist in SOS buttons in the roof and mirror. We'll start it up and take a quick look under the hood. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to verify the quality, condition options and cleanliness of this truck all the way around. Under the hood you have the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel, engine base very clean, runs very smooth, once again this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker and I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint. I don't think you'll find too many 2018s as nice as this one and to see more pictures of this truck or one of other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SCVs, minivans, rain glows, halftones, three quarter tons, one tons, you name it we got to go to that website right there is summitauto.com.

Before I begin, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we're gathering tonight, the Nambri and Ngunnawal people and pay my respects to their elders past and present. And I want to thank them for allowing me to speak on their country this evening. I also acknowledge all other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the room and especially if there are any elders. There are so many people to acknowledge, but can I also acknowledge the Danoone family and acknowledge Rachel Stevens-Smith, Minister for Health and Aboriginal Affairs and also Dr Heather Nankaro, CEO of Anrose. I am an Aboriginal woman. I was born in Victoria on Wurundjeri Country. I've lived in Victoria all of my life with my family. Our line is Cookie Yellingey in Far North Queensland. As an Aboriginal woman, coming as I am from a long, proud, resilient line of culturally strong and tenacious women, there seems precious little for me to celebrate on this week on International Women's Day. But I will take this opportunity to thank the organisers of this lecture for asking me to speak here this evening. It is indeed a privilege.  A world which many of my Aboriginal sisters and I connect with intensely, occasionally or rarely, depending on our circumstances and our roles. I think many of you will have read the deeply disturbing stories of disadvantage and devastation our women experience.  You have supported our campaigns. Maybe some of you will have worked in our organisations or in bureaucracies that engage with Aboriginal issues. But for me, the bleak reality of what so many of our women and children suffer is deeply personal. And it drives me and so many others to do the work of JIRA, of the National Forum.  And most importantly in our world, in our cultural way. While I am speaking, I ask you to watch the photos of the Aboriginal women rolling over on the screen above me. Each woman with her own story of strength, courage and resilience. Women who nurture, who are keepers of culture, givers of life, who are our silent, hidden, often invisible leaders of change. Tonight, I am speaking on Nambri and Nunnawal land. And that is significant because we also know it as Canberra. The centre of power where decisions are made which dramatically impact upon the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, our women, our men and our children. My work brings me here to Canberra regularly and has done so for years. I know how many of those decisions are made without the participation of our people and especially of our women and children. Critical decisions that continue to be made for our women and our children just as they have been since the invasion of our country, the arrival of the first fleet. So if you are looking for confirmation that sovereignty, self-determination is real for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today, you won't find it in my words tonight. To put you in the picture, let me take you back to when I was a child. I was a keen student, very keen, but my family was the only Aboriginal family in a small Victorian town just outside of Melbourne. My brothers and I tolerated, lived with, bore the brunt of daily racism, not just from the kids and from the parents but also from our teachers as well. I was constantly told that I would never amount to anything because I was Aboriginal.  At primary school, my mum would come to the school fence and hide behind the trees to watch over me and my brother eating our lunch. She didn't know we saw her, we didn't know why she was there, but now I do. My mum was terrified. The white welfare would act on their threats to take us from her, so this was her way of protecting us. At secondary school, a kid on the school bus started taunting me and making didgeridoo sounds. He then spat on my school bag. All the kids on the school bus started spitting on my bag, which was in the middle of all of the seats with the other bags. Even some girls who I thought were my friends spat on my bag and laughed along with the others. When the bus stopped, I ran home crying. I found it hard to breathe. My brother was not far behind me. I ran into the house past my mum and dad, though sitting at the kitchen table and I locked myself in my bedroom. My dad took me to every kid's house that was on the bus and told their parents what their kids had done to me. Both mum and dad were up to school the very next morning trying to make sure things were put in place so my brother and I could be safe at school. It didn't change anything. We were not safe. We were still seen and treated as inferior, outcasts and outsiders. As we got older, we were targeted by the police, always picked up on the streets and I was charged with assault at 15 for hair pulling. My girlfriend was too. I had never been in trouble but I was charged, found guilty and put on 12 months probation and not allowed to see my best friend for 12 months for hair pulling. I guess she was punished also for mixing with the Aboriginal girl. Racism has many faces. My family appealed and the case was dismissed and thrown out of court. The judge was appalled it had got to that. I remember him making some strong statements to the police in open court about us being children. I suspect he saw the underlying racism but maybe didn't have quite enough courage to call it out then. My mum and dad fought hard and they saw the racism. Without my family driven by their devotion to us kids, their lived experience of historic oppression of our people and their sheer determination to protect us above all else. Well I don't know whether I would have survived my teenage years. What I do know is that I would not be standing here tonight if it wasn't for my mum and dad. So me at 15, school was hard. Wasn't hard sorry but the racism was hard. I just could not handle the relentless, soul-destroying pressure so I dropped out. I struggled with being unemployed, not knowing what I wanted to do in my life. I did odd jobs, traineeships, various Indigenous employment programs. The good news is I landed at TAFE as a query liaison officer and someone must have seen a spark in my heart. I told a teacher I had always wanted to be a lawyer and he said go and do your law degree, just go and do it now. It took me five years to summon up the guts to go but I ended up at the Institute of Career Education in Deakin University as a mature age student. Overwhelmed, unsure and a bit scared that having moved so far from my known world, my Aboriginal world, I might be swallowed up. I knew though once I started the law degree I would finish it, no matter what. Family support continued as always, especially from my mum but a whole lot of others joined in too. Friends, teachers, the CEO at the TAFE, leaders in our community and the Institute of Career Education at Deakin. The sort of personal and academic support that white students take for granted as they build their professional careers suddenly and unexpectedly turned up for me. When I finished my law degree I started work at the County Court as a judge's associate. With just a hint of innocence I imagined I wanted to work in criminal law, become a barrister, take pro bono cases for our mob, that sort of thing. A very experienced and wise judge took an interest in my career and one day said in a very judicial voice, let me tell you dear, you won't choose your area of legal specialisation, it will choose you and so it did. Advocating, fighting for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.  The politicians, the bureaucrats, the media, the judiciary to achieve systemic change. It did choose me and it has turned out to be bigger, more diverse, more challenging, politically dicey and culturally affirming than whatever it might have been with a classic legal specialisation.  The chief executive officer of JIRA, lawyer, advocate, daughter, sister, auntie. Like all of our women, I too want to do my bit to secure a future for all First Nations women. A future that delivers opportunity and dignity and secures the full suite of human rights that most, if not all of you here tonight, take for granted. JIRA was the first of its kind in Victoria. A trickle of money landed in our state to establish a legal service for the safety of Aboriginal people experiencing family violence. And I, well, it chose me, took over and I landed the role in setting JIRA up. We started from scratch, finding office space, ABNs, incorporation, the whole thing. We pretty much knew that the vast majority of people accessing our service would be Aboriginal women. Today, 98% of our clients are women and children. There was a natural synergy between the JIRA board and me. We had a shared vision, a specialist legal service that was bolder than just triage. A holistic wraparound support that ensured dignity and cultural respect and safety for our clients. We knew we had to do more and be more than just legal. We knew early intervention and prevention programs would save lives. We wanted to be able to distill the essence of the stories and knowledge that our women shared with us through our on-the-ground programs. We wanted the voices of our women to resonate and strengthen our advocacy so that we could influence systemic change, big change, necessary change for our people, for our women and children. And here I am, 17 years later, and still the CEO of JIRA. JIRA is a wairung word for read. This read, JIRA, is used by Wurundjeri women both traditionally and presently to weave. Weaving is a time for producing all manner of useful and beautiful objects and for considering problems, concerns, issues when Aboriginal women come together to share their stories and find their solutions. JIRA, my experience over the 17 years at JIRA and before has taught me one central thing and it is this.  This invisibility by its nature is barely noticed or recognised but it is alive today as it has been at any time in the past 200 plus years. But not just generally invisible to the white world but also invisible to me. I am an Aboriginal woman. I've experienced systemic failure, racism personally but the systemic failure impacting on Aboriginal women was invisible to me. Perhaps I was blinded because it was normalized. Here is one example. Over the past 20 years or so the narrative has been quite rightly around the high rates of imprisonment of our men. You see it in the 339 recommendations of the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. 339 recommendations which were almost silent when it came to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Many of our social justice commissioners over the years since that time are on the record saying that this has rendered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women invisible to policy and decision makers.  All of these indicators that contribute to incarceration remain invisible to society. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are the fastest growing prison group in this country today. An unseen statistic in the plethora of data that is the Aboriginal problem. Do you know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women make up about 2% of the Australian female population? Yet we comprise 34% of the Australian female prison population. Where is the outrage? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women must be brought into focus, must be visible, must be at, our voices must be heard and our voices must be at the table making decisions. Even when we are brought into consultations and negotiations we have to fight to be at the table. Where the policies are made and where the decision makers sit. Until Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are genuinely included until we are leading we will be overlooked. It will still be white people making decisions imposing white solutions on us. It will still be the white systems controlling and targeting our people. Jira is determined to change the status quo. We operate to accelerate that change to amplify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's voices. Our women struggle on a daily basis to get support for their safety. We become targets for racist police, the judiciary and we become targets for child protection workers. This targeting oppresses our people and it oppresses our mothers in a very particular way. It has a deepening and multiplier effect which is far reaching. Our children become the targets. Our future threatened. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are either overlooked or targeted. We become targets. I would like you to take a moment to imagine being in that world, our world, a First Nations woman's world. Watch the photos of the women. Imagine how much is hidden behind those smiles. Why is it that access to mainstream family violence services, to pregnancy and early childhood services, to legal services is so problematic for our women, so culturally unsafe? Access to services should be a right, not a privilege, overlooked or targeted, not by Jira. Jira is where Aboriginal women are the priority. It's as natural as breathing. We do it differently, women's business, Aboriginal women's business and that's our cultural way and that is what sets us apart from the mainstream sector. Jira is self-determination, Aboriginal women's self-determination and everything we do at Jira is designed and delivered by Aboriginal women and for Aboriginal women. We don't do cookie-cutter help programs that are designed by wide organisations or people trying to do their best for the Aboriginal cause. The white ones who believe that they are our saviours, the ones who don't understand how diverse our people are, how rich and sustaining our culture is. Jira delivers because we are determining our own solutions. We are the women. We have the lived experience of colonisation, of being Aboriginal women. We know. We know. Jira's legal practice works across four areas of law, four complex areas of law, child protection, intervention orders, family law, victims of crime. Our legal practice would not work without our culturally safe early intervention and prevention programs. Sisters Day Out, The Dilly Bag, Young Love and Our Kori Women's Place because the law and the legal system is and continues to be built on white privilege. Jira's strong foundation of culture and safety works to shield our women from the ramifications of that white privilege. Social isolation, racist judgements, controlling actions and systemic discrimination. Sisters Day Out is a day full of laughter and lots of pink, balloons, flowers, scented candles. Aboriginal women travel far and wide just to spend a day out with other Aboriginal women. Pampering is the hook which draws the women together so that messages about family violence and conversations about finding solutions can take place. There's massage and manicures and hairdressing and that was my idea. It's fun. It's restful and it's safe. Sisters Day Out breaks down social isolation, breaks down barriers to accessing services for safety and Sisters Day Out is about raising awareness about legal rights. It's about letting women know that the law isn't just about punishing. It's not something to fear. It's about letting women know that with the right advocate the law can help. Sisters Day Out takes Jira's services and our carefully chosen and most trusted mainstream services to the women. For those Aboriginal women who we know fear asking for help because their kids might be taken, no their kids will be taken. For those women who are blamed, for those women who are just trying to manage the violence in silence, for those women who feel shame, shame to break the silence because they will be judged. The odds are against our women in every way. It's so difficult, it's so unsafe, it's just devastating but for just one day at Sisters Day Out a space is created for Aboriginal women to just be women, to feel safe, strong, strong in identity, strong in their culture, visible and heard. Sisters Day Out is Jira's self-determined solution. Since 2007, 11,000 Aboriginal women in Victoria have participated. That's 11,000 Aboriginal women in Victoria alone. The Dilly Bag program was designed by my mum, Wanda Braybrook and another Aboriginal woman, Kelly Felden. Do you know what a Dilly Bag is? It's something that we as Aboriginal women use to hold, to keep, to safeguard our most precious positions, our secrets. The Dilly Bag program is about sharing cultural knowledge among Aboriginal women. It's about drawing on strength of identity to move us to the next part of our journey of healing. Jira's Young Love program is for young Aboriginal women between 13 and 17. Young Love was designed by two young Aboriginal women, Mariki and Nakalia, who worked with Jira at the time, and they felt that we weren't reaching out to younger women. Well, we do now. Young Love has been in existence for five years. It's young people, young women talking about healthy and safe relationships, not just relationships in community but with others in their world. Our Kuri Women's Place has been Jira's vision since inception 17 years ago. The Kuri Women's Place, where women walk through the door and feel safe, feel the warm energy, feel valued and are heard and their culture and identity is respected and validated. Our Kuri Women's Place supports women who wander in off the streets. Women who have just been released from prison have no accommodation or a change of clothes. Women who are heavily pregnant and need some nappies or clothes for when their baby arrives. Women who have just been discharged from hospital and need food or transport to get back to family. Our Kuri Women's Place goes further and delivers cultural activities, basket weaving, how to make bush medicines and what to use them for skills workshops, supporting women to get ready with a resume and job applications. This is another way that we break down social isolation, another way Jira invests in our women. Jira invests in Aboriginal women in every way. We refuse to see our women through a deficit lens, a distorted lens so often is given to us to view ourselves with. Provided at school, reinforced at work, displayed through the media, expected by the police, again a lens clouded and coloured by white privilege. Every Aboriginal woman who attends our programs younger or older goes home with a special hand painted rock with the women's spirit on it, painted by my mum. Women treasure their rocks, we treasure them. The women's spirit represents our strong spirit as Aboriginal women, our spirit which keeps us strong despite such overwhelming odds. Now, here's a positive story. Many of you would know of the Royal Commission into Family Violence in Victoria. Well, following that Royal Commission, Jira has had a solid and long-term investment from the Victorian government for our programs. We celebrated Aboriginal women's visibility in the recommendations. We celebrated a commitment in Aboriginal community controlled organisations, self-determination. The Royal Commission made a special mention of our work Sisters Day Out in the Dilly Bag. The commission has said these programs we need to see more of, not less of. I am yet to see the same level of commitment from our federal government. I said earlier that our legal work covers four areas of law and how historically and still today the law is used as a tool of oppression against our people. So for our women it's hard to see the law as something that can help. But with every year we get the message out to women that we have their backs. Our women are starting to see how the law can be used to get a good outcome to keep their kids to find safety, be believed. Last year we saw over 600 legal clients. I'm not sure how many children are attached to those 600 clients today but a few years ago when we looked into our legal files of 800 women we were working with there were around 500 children. So in just one year we worked with around 1300 Aboriginal mums and their kids. I want to touch briefly now on some challenges we have nationally as Aboriginal women. I hold the elected position of Chairperson of the National Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Services Forum known as the National Forum. In that role I can tell you that I have not seen a real commitment to addressing violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women or significant increase in funding for the work our 13 member organisations do nationally. We have not seen an investment for more than six years close to seven years while we welcome the recent announcement of our funding for our frontline work. It's not enough. I ask you to look at our social media on this. It just seems that a lot of money is thrown at the Aboriginal problem with white solutions which don't solve anything. Health Justice Partnerships, this money goes to mainstream legal centres not Aboriginal community controlled legal services and then there's the Parents Next, a punitive program targeting single mothers, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Parents Next is driving women deeper and deeper into poverty and must be abolished. We have been calling on our federal government to invest in a dedicated national action plan to address violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women but we are not being heard. Our governments create the problems which we have to try to remedy, the ones that see lives lost, families destroyed and our communities devastated. Another example, the cashless debit card, how on earth would that ever reduce family violence? Women experience financial control and abuse by perpetrators from perpetrators now from our governments. Elise Klein took a deeper look at 2018 Western Australia police data and found that the implementation of the cashless debit card coincided with a rise in family violence, violent assaults and police attendances in some Kimberley communities and I am sure you have heard of co-design. I can't imagine you could live in Canberra without a bit of co-design in your life, it's all the rage. It might sound simple, collaborative, positive, heading in the right direction, well let me tell you this, from our perspective co-design does not equal self-determination. Co-design is just another form of control. Our national forum in its current form does not have any funding certainty beyond 30 June. It's our voice. We have been fighting so hard to get our government to invest in our national body in the same way it invests in other national bodies. Our small 244,000 dollars a year has kept the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children a part of the national conversation but as of 1st of July we can't say what will happen. Is this systemic silencing? Looks like it. I urge you to find out more on social media about our campaign to save FE Pellis. Now I want to touch on close the gap. We come to Canberra year after year and hear the same rhetoric around the government's commitment to closing the gap. We hear year after year how targets are not met and every year we say the targets are wrong. They are wrong. They are your targets, not ours. For many years we've been calling for a family violence and justice targets. Closing the gap means everything to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Statistically as an Aboriginal woman I will live nine years less than other women in this room. Our women nationally are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised for family violence and we are 10 times more likely to die from a violent assault than other women. I said earlier how more and more of our women are landing in prison and more and more of our children are being taken from their mothers. So yes, family violence and justice targets mean everything and they're not negotiable. There is hope with the new partnership agreement with the government. It's a game changer but with the defunding of our national forum our continued participation in this partnership is compromised. So some more good news on the education front. It's not enough good news but it is some.  In 2014-15 almost half 47 percent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women aged 15 and over had achieved a certificate diploma or a degree. That represents a 45 percent increase from 2008 up from 33 percent. There are success stories for our women from across the country but despite these gains too many of our women are invisible. Again, just look at the women on the screen. You may never hear their names, their stories but I can tell you each one has her own unique story, her own journey of success that contributes to keeping community strong and family safe. She may never be in the spotlight in your world but she is in ours. She is not invisible to us. In finishing up I want to again thank the organisers, the Janoon family for inviting me to speak here this evening. If you want to be an ally a supporter, a contributor to our cause where human rights and social justice is the foundation and where the particular focus is on the devastating experiences of our women, our children over time and across the nation. Here are some ideas for you to consider. Donations are easy and of course we need the money. You can give now to JIRA, just Google give now JIRA. You can follow Aboriginal women and Torres Strait Islander women on social media and amplify our voices. You can educate yourself on the real history of this country, white Australia has a black history. Challenge institutional racism, systemic violence, you don't have to be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander to do that. Work with us to break down those big white industries being built on our disadvantage, prisons, child protection systems. Stand with us and know that you are welcome to walk with us but never in front of us. Follow our campaign, save FEPLS and sign up as a supporter. Turn your International Women's Day and Week into a day of activism. Find the activists in you and join with us. Come to our National Gathering in December 2020, women's business, men's business, everyone's business, our cultural way.  From the moment the colonizers landed over 200 plus years ago, a hard ass to do in about 40 to 50 minutes. But tonight, as an Aboriginal woman, I am not invisible. I have a platform to give voice to others. And it is indeed an honour to be able to speak on behalf of the many women Jira works with, the women who are invisible, silence. It is these women who drive our passion. It is these women whose courage, strength, resilience, despite overwhelming odds is just more than inspirational. Thank you.


Thank you. Thank you very much for inviting me. I'd like to present a manifesto at this conference on What I'm seeing as a truly African invention that being flexible mobility Developed by Africans using the African context So mobility doesn't have to be hard. It's essentially we speak about space time and fuel or resources burning of resources Transport of mobility is deeply local the local context, but it's also uniquely global And I'll illustrate this through the following five problems, and you'll be able to identify these five problems wherever you live in the world problem one is the undesirable private car usage that then eats up land and the parking the Mobility storage devices called parking garages that we need to prop up our car habits Problem two is that these cars are single occupants and the price of resource of running these vehicles is only increasing And we can only imagine what the licensing costs of self-driving technologies are going to be when these proprietary systems land on our shores Problem three is that demand is not responded to even though a city has Sometimes a vast oversupply of transport. It's just in the wrong place at the wrong time Example here is in Cape Town where our rail system is running very short of rolling stock However, we have a very vibrant para transit system. I think that pictures of Kampala Where the demand and the supply systems just aren't talking to each other. We have enough transport in Africa. It's just very badly distributed Then we look at these skills and funding needed to implement much needed mass transit and I use from the newspaper these graphics where the red lines is the what we would call considered mass transit formalized and Organized to move as many people as fast as possible and there are tiny little lines when you look at Addis Dar Cape Town We don't have the skills the funding and the capacity to implement and operate these systems The blue line of course is what pops up in the absence of mass transit And so what we do know in Africa is how to move people perhaps informally but popularly Problem five then is courses that our users are vulnerable our women are harassed on a daily basis The criminal element that comes where there is cash without Accountability and the laundering and the trade that can go on. This is a tag at minibus taxi in South Africa with 255 bullet holes pumped into it You I don't think this is a root dispute. This is a Elements of criminality which needs to be addressed the occupants of this will all Taxi bosses on the way back from a funeral of a colleague And so the the law and order the crime and violence that comes with the system really needs to be highlighted So how can African cities transition and play with outwith popular transit at its center? Well technology does have a a role to play here And so we've developed a model called flexible mobility or a flexible mobility platform Which I'd like to just talk you through so if we pivot on the problems those five problems private car usage single occupant car usage demand and supply not matched all these Problems that are familiar to your city Well, what if we set these objectives? We want to limit private car usage. We want to accelerate shared and electric mobility We want to build responsive systems to demand that highlights active mobility and encourages responsible supply mass transit systems with sustainable funding and Protect our users by means of aggressive regulation aggressive enforcement building the platform. We need now these all noble objectives How do we accomplish that? We've built a three-step process So we first want to measure exactly what's going on respect the indigenous transport supply that knows where supply and demand is Understand those temporal patterns those unique temporal patterns and identify where infrastructure is So collect as much data and put that data in a centralized place for everyone to to share Then model understand what is the end state we want? Well, where are the missing linkages? What nodes are not served adequately? What is the optimal supply? We do we know we have a oversupply of transport in Africa. What is the optimal supply? What is the new business model that's possible to incorporate informality into the formal economy? And what is a clear and just operating contract and then how do we manage this system? And this is where technology really has a role to play in tracking in payments and in measurements And so we've developed a three-part tool at flex which is a driver app and a rider app and a ride share engine Which allows us to take the big black box that is Ride share technology and open that up And so the question we ask is can we measure model and manage our cities with flexible mobility being a uniquely African invention developed by My company go Metro in Cape Town, but using the African context And so it's time to open up the black box of technology and give cities the power of flexible mobility. Thank you very much
