Freedom, today I wanted to talk to you about George. That's right, George recently here in the office held what we call a town hall meeting. This town hall meeting was to discuss the company as it was, the past, as it is the present, and as it will be in the future. As a lot of you know, the ones who have been around for a while, freedom is in a constant state of flux because we are constantly evolving and adapting to the YouTube meta, social media in general, and of course the needs and wants of our users. And because our users are our partners, we make sure to cater to you as much as possible. So as you can see behind me, George spoke to all of the local Philippines staff, as well as all of the what you call expats here in the Philippines. And he was talking about a lot of very interesting stuff, most of which he's talked about before. But let me give you a few bullet points. He spoke about the investments that we are trying to get as freedom and what we will do, how we will spend that money, and also what we have to do to prove to investors that we are worth it. We've been speaking to these guys for the past four months. They have been doing their what they call due diligence, which simply means we needed to prove everything about freedom, that we have a good business model, we're growing, we're going to be this mega company in five years and convince them that we're worth putting money into now because it'll be worth 10 times in five years. One of the key takeaways from this is that when you ask for money from a venture capitalist such as what we've done, you have to show that you can increase your value from what it is to, you know, five times as much, 10 times as much, 15 times as much in a certain amount of time. And freedom has a pretty good track record of growing its revenue, growing its value to not only itself, but its partners, that's you. That was creepy. That was, I shouldn't have done that, that whole, that's you. Wow. In addition to that, he also was speaking about how our products going forward are going to impact our partners, as well as of course, things like company bottom line, et cetera, et cetera, because it was relevant because of the investment that we have currently. So what idea is we should make a game? We should make a, like a, you know, how barnville or fashion plans works. You start with a little town and you build it up. There's always delays in production and then you can fight other players. Well, the same concept, but let's do it in a YouTube environment. You're starting your YouTube video empire and you've got your first channel. You have to like add subscribers, like building a town halls, like building your channel. And you can take a lot of the elements, clash of plans, put it into the YouTube world. And the things you do in the game may also help your channel. Like you can say, okay, to get to the next level, you have to spend 10 hours, but you can have that time if you watch the videos or something like that. One of the awesome things about what he was discussing is the math of it, actually. If we as freedom help every 10 subscriber channel become a 500 subscriber channel. Every 500 subscriber channel become a 1500 subscriber channel and just small movements of makes us look very good as an investor because we can do that. Which is one of the reasons why we have refocused things like position music. Some of you in the past may have seen that you had some problems with position music. However, there's an entirely new system in place. So you will not lose any revenue due to claims. And I know that some of you recently may have had some issues that's dealing with the transition. The current system should have no issues whatsoever. And that's from like today on. We're also working on getting our creators the small, medium and large ones a bigger leg up. Of course, things like this take time, understanding on the part of not only the partner, but the company's working with the partners. This is not a slow process, but it's one that we are committed to doing. As some of you may be aware, Freedom or our parent company, NETV, got its start with recommendation revenue. This is kind of like where you see people at the end of videos going, you know, check out potable.com where you can dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab. That's recommendation revenue. And it's something that we may be looking into in the coming months to be able to help our partners, you know, increase their bottom line, work with more companies and diversify their content styles in a way that's true to their audience. Before I go, I'd like to ask, do you have any ideas about how Freedom might be able to make itself look more attractive to investors, but also doing so in a way that helps the partner grow? That's the entire basis of Freedom, that's what we've always done. So being able to hear the statistics about how doing that will help investors, that just strengthens my resolve to want to help partners grow. So give me a few sentences below about how you think we can help you grow. Now try to stay as close to reality as possible. There are things that we can and can't do, but I'm interested in what you have to say. Anyway, until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe and do all those things that make us love our jobs. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other. Bye Freedom Family. Thank you for watching another Freedom Video. If you'd like to watch another one, click over there.

Joe Rogan is an American comedian actor, martial arts expert, UFC commentator, podcaster and all around badass who has recently just increased his net worth profile to a staggering $100 million. Joe first came to the public's attention after appearing in news radio before going on to host the hit reality series Fear Factor and combining his talent for entertainment with his passion for martial arts by joining forces with UFC to help popularize MMA. But it would be his late career renaissance where he reinvented himself as one of the most popular podcasters on the internet that would have him swimming in so much dough he could afford to buy a 5 million dollar home in Bel Canyon, California. It's been rumored that Joe Rogan makes as much as 30 million dollars a year for ad reads and youtube advertising through his podcast. And while that may sound like a whole lot, it's only a drop in the bucket compared to the deal Joe just signed with Spotify to become the exclusive home of the Joe Rogan experience for a ported $100 million. With the news of his contract making headlines all over the world, what better time than now to take a look at the house of a bonafide success story. Today I'm taking you through Joe's mansion in Bel Canyon, California as well as the 14,000 square foot warehouse he uses as a studio for his podcast company. Which is so much more than simply that, even if it was pretty empty when he first moved in. I'll also check in on a recent rumor that despite having just purchased this new amazing home, Joe is already thinking about his next move. Hey guys it's Kara and today we're taking a look at the home and workplace of the world's most infamous podcaster and strongman comedian Joe Rogan here for you on Famous Entertainment. Be sure to like, subscribe and ring that bell to be notified when we post so you can always be up to date. We've all spent house tours on stars like Shaquille O'Neal and Floyd Mayweather and we'll link to some at the end. Follow me on Instagram to chat and as usual let me know who's house tour is next in those comments down below. Now let's get into this video. Last year Joe spent nearly $5 million on this amazing mansion in Bel Canyon, California. Joe has called the Bel Canyon home since purchasing his first starter home for $2.2 million back in 2003 and while that house was no doubt nice, it probably couldn't hold a candle to his new one. According to billionaire world news, Bel Canyon is one of Southern California's wealthiest communities and one look at this home proves it. To start with, a major reason this area is so expensive is due to its remote location in the Ventura County boundaries. Which means that Joe gets to enjoy the entirety of this open concept home in absolute peace and quiet. He's got gorgeous balconies that look out into rolling hills populated with other beautiful homes and a heavily wooded area.  Inside the house features 8,720 square feet of living space including 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. As soon as you walk in the front door to his home you can see almost the entire place including down into the bottom floor, the dining room, out onto the patio and into any of the multiple living spaces. Basically, what I'm trying to say is this house is one giant room separated by glass walls and a second floor. This design ensures that there's no shortage of natural light and the high ceilings coupled with the white walls also help keep the space as bright as possible. Joe's master bedroom is on the bottom floor of his mansion. And like every other room in his home, the bedroom is completely open both in terms of the indoor space and allowing for quick access to the outside. Which means that Joe gets to enjoy views like this one from the comfort of his own bed on a regular basis. On the second floor is a cozy seating area with another tremendous view. This space continues onto the dining room and a more casual living space complete with a fireplace and television. To the right of this living room is Joe's kitchen, the place where he cooks up all his meat. Joe's diet has become widely publicized on his show and he spends a lot of time talking about his meals made up of a variety of different proteins. But the real question is the one that's on Sebastian's mind. For me I'm thinking how the hell does he get the meat from top to bottom like medium rare throughout you know like that's for me that's more of a learn I can teach you Sebastian I can teach you you know what the key is cooking it slowly that's the key. Of course when you're cooking meat as often as Joe does you need an elite grill to get the most taste out of it. Joe has opted for a Traeger grill which can easily set you back a few thousand dollars. Tests will be awestruck whenever you open up this Tesla of grills. Happy Easter everybody I'm out here cooking a leg of lamb for Easter on the Traeger grill my favorite way to cook and about to check it out right now it's done. Oh my goodness look at that I have all these little slices in here and I inserted pieces of garlic and rosemary. Oh this smells so good. Happy Easter. Is it just me or did it sound like a fighter jet was roaring up after he opened that bad boy up. That's one powerful grill. Now if you've ever watched Joe show then you know that he loves to both pamper himself and pump some mad iron so of course he has spots in his home to do both of these things. He's got a fully equipped home gym and after spending some time gripping off some rubs in there he likes to calm his body down in his beautifully lit bathroom which looks like the very definition of elegance. Now that we've taken a look inside his home let's visit the other place that Joe spends a good portion of his day the 14,000 square foot warehouse where he films his podcast located in Woodland Hills California. This self-described man cave is not only where Joe works day in and day out it's where he makes his dreams a reality and surrounds himself with everything he could possibly want at his fingertips. We all know Hobbies are a source of spending and Joe has decked his entire studio out in all of his favorite things. Let's start with his digital archery range. Oh god! We're coming back! That was a perfect shot. I don't know what he's saying. For places do you know that can feature something like that. I can't think of any. And that's just a tip of the iceberg. Joe also got a private sports and conditioning gym on site that includes a sauna and a pool table. The gym looks the part of a commercial gym with its mirrored walls, rubber flooring, high ceilings and proper lighting. It's chock full of the latest and greatest in equipment including Joe's own On-It brand which includes one of Joe's favorite products, kettlebells. The strengthening conditioning side of the gym was supplied by Rogue Fitness, a brand that Rogan has been using for years now and there's even a combat side to the gym which features Fuji mats, heavy bags and a bag rack system. When he's done getting his training in he can quickly cool down with the latest in athletic technologies, a cryogenic chamber, as well as relax in his sensory deprivation tank and experience some natural DMT in all of its mind enhancing glory. And all of this before we even get to the highlight of his space. The recording studio itself which is jam packed with the latest and greatest tools to make sure that Joe's always sounding as good as he looks. After taking a look at the amazing setups Joe both has in his home and the workplace You might be surprised to learn that he's thinking about taking a big step. If California continues to be this restrictive, I don't know if this is a good place to live.  And if they really say that we can't do stand up until 2022 or something like that, I might jet. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, this is silly, I don't need to be here. The only reason why I'm here is that I'm close to people like you. A lot of my friends live here, the store is here, but if they won't let us do the store, but we can do stand up other places, why would we stay here? We're in Texas though. I don't know man, I like Austin a lot, I like Dallas a lot, I like Houston, but I don't know if I'd live in Houston. It's very humid there. That's right, it sounds like Joe is packing up his belongings sometime soon and setting his sights for the great state of Texas. I don't know about you guys but after getting a look at how he lives, the only question I have is why? Then I remember it something. Texas borgo's individual income tax which means that 100 million dollar contract Joe just signed can be all his if he makes the move. For those of you wondering, California where Joe currently lives would subject that contract to 13.3% in taxes which means that Joe can save about 13 million dollars with the switch. Hey I'm generally someone who believes in the benefits taxation can supply to the general population. When you're making money like that, it's just something that you've gotta at least consider regardless of what you actually end up doing. As for where Joe will live once he gets to Texas, well that's still up in the air. At the very least, there's been no new house purchase that's been announced yet. But keep your eyes open and when it happens, I'll obviously be giving you guys all the details on it. Well that wraps it up for Joe Rogan and his properties. What did you guys think? Would you make the move to Texas and to Chalet? At the very least, you gotta think that moving the studio to a whole new state would take a lot of work. But then again, Joe is gonna start cashing those Spotify checks real soon, if he hasn't already. And who's to say he couldn't just hop on a helicopter and fly to his studio? All he's gotta do is lay down a chopper pad on site and he could probably split his week between both states. Problem solved. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and we can continue talking about Joe Rogan's living arrangements on there. Alright I'll see you guys in the next video, bye!


introduction of gas. It's now time for member statements and member for Timmons. Well Mr. Speaker you will know most of us that drive vehicles that the price of gas in the last 30 days has gone up about 30 cents a liter and Timmons we were paying about 90 98 cents a liter but about a month ago price of gas now is up to $1.30 and it is frustrating drivers beyond beyond anything that you can imagine it's almost palpable the price differential between southern and northern Ontario is as much as 20 cents a liter and this government's response is to blame the feds on the carbon tax. Yeah I agree the carbon tax is going to add four naps cents to the price of gas but you're responsible for the other 26 cents that quite frankly has gone up as a result of price gouging on the part of gas companies. We have a bill before this house in committee now that would allow us to deal with gas price regulation so that gas companies don't do what they're doing now. How do you explain 98 cent gas 30 days ago and $1.30 today other than the carbon tax which was four and a half cents the rest of it is the gas companies that are gouging us at the pumps. Mr. Speaker this government has got to do the right thing. If they want to blame the feds for a carbon tax and do that fight in order to help Mr. Speaker in the next election we get it they're doing the politics of it but there's a reality that we all have to deal with and that is gas companies are gouging us at the pump. There's a bill before committee now that will help us deal with it. I call on the government to do the right thing and call that bill. Member statements the member for Thornhill. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I'm very pleased to welcome today we have a whole group here of mentors and staff from it's called Youth Fusion in French it's Fusion Eugènez and it's a job creating charity program and on profit that industry supports and the private and the public sector support and it's so fantastic Mr. Speaker to hear the student mentors talk about how they're going into our schools and a meeting with kids new immigrant children marginalized kids children with autism and helping them on projects in robotics artificial intelligence even video game projects which I'm sure the kids really love and helping them to improve their math skills which is something we keep talking about in the government side of the house and we hear that there's mentors from industry who also are involved it's a program that started Montreal in 2009 and it's been here now for three years and I really applaud everybody and would encourage everybody to find out more about Youth Fusion I'm going to be posting on social media they have Twitter accounts they have Facebook accounts and to get in touch with the staff and to say that you want to support you want to get involved you want to donate you want your children's school to get involved and you want to encourage our children to be job ready for the next wave of jobs that are coming with this government for the people thank you Mr. Speaker thank you very much members statements I am pleased to tell you about a big change for a great University in Oshawa the University of Ontario Institute of Technology or UOIT opened its doors in 2003 but speaker through the years while UOIT has exceeded and establishing a reputation of excellence and innovation it has had a challenge to establish their brand so on March 27th UOIT introduced their new brand to stand out in the academic landscape it has kept the blue but now has a new bright spark of orange but more than the new look we have a new name UOIT is now Ontario Tech University Ontario Tech invites future students to discover what President and Vice Chancellor Stephen Murphy has called the best kept secret in Canadian higher education the University of Ontario Institute of Technology will keep its long name for official business but like Caltech is short for California Institute of Technology we now have Ontario Tech Ontario Tech's first historic all faculty convocation was in June of 2007 and now Ontario Tech has over 10,000 students 16,000 alumni seven faculties 56 undergraduate programs 37 graduate programs and 20 college University programs Ontario Tech extends the reach of their research and teaching and prepares graduates to excel in a global knowledge-driven economy I know Ontario Tech will continue to take on the future challenges we face as a society and find solutions to meet and exceed tomorrow's needs so congratulations on the new name Ontario Tech and we wish you and all of your students a bright and awesome future thank you very much member statements the member for Etobicoke Lakeshore good afternoon speaker one of the interesting things I've learned and I've met with some of the people in Etobicoke Lakeshore we have a strong craft brewing community and we actually have five craft brewers and soon to be six right in Etobicoke Lakeshore in fact Mr. Speaker at your recent craft beer tasting reception we had three competing brewers based right out of Etobicoke Lakeshore here representing my community which is which is wonderful and I'm sure you'll remember that the Premier and the Minister of Finance they joined me last August at another Etobicoke brewer cool brewer to announce Ontario's buck a beer challenge the in fact Mr. Speaker this Saturday you too can have the opportunity to experience some of the many brewers for yourself the people from Etobicoke Lakeshore and across Toronto will be participating in a Etobicoke beer run an eight kilometer run across South Etobicoke stopping at son of our some of our riding's amazing craft brewers participants will start at Big Rock Brewery making stops at Great Lakes Brewery Indy Alehouse and the Black Oak Brewing Company before finishing at Vaughn Bugle Brewing all without leaving Etobicoke Lakeshore proceeds from participation in this event will go to support the Canadian Mental Health Association which is a great organization supporting an important cause Mr. Speaker I want to wish the best of luck to all the runners and congratulate in advance all those who are successful finishing the race the success of Etobicoke Brewing companies and this community is a great example of Ontario is open for business and open for jobs and I just want to encourage others in this house and those watching that if you want to take a trip to Etobicoke Lakeshore and visit our breweries please come they're open every day thank you member statements the member for Hamilton West and Caster Dundas thank you Mr. Speaker I rise today in support of the thousands of students across Ontario who are walking out of their classrooms at this very moment these students are sending a very clear message that they will not remain silent as our public education system is callously gutted I stand in solidarity Mr. Speaker with my nieces Emily Mabel and Lily and in support of all the students in Hamilton West and Caster Dundas in support of all the students and their parents across Ontario who clearly see that this government for the people does not care to all the students out there today thank you for standing up for high quality public education you know you deserve so much better so much better than a government that takes away from you your education does not belong to one government or to one premier and to this conservative government who say that you the students are being manipulated by your teachers that you couldn't possibly have done this on your own I say well it would be a big mistake to underestimate you the students you are the people that are standing up for what's right so thank you for your phenomenal leadership your passion and your determination you are truly the leaders of today member statements the member for Ottawa seven thank you very much mr. Speaker and across Ontario April is be a donor month in support of organ and tissue donation awareness today there are over 1500 people awaiting a life-saving transplant here in Ontario and I'm encouraging all Ontarians to consider consenting registering consent for organ and tissue donation so one donor mr. Speaker can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through tissue donation interestingly the oldest donor is 90 years old so it's never too late it takes less than two minutes to register as an organ and tissue donor donor at online at be a donor dot ca so this Sunday April 7th is green shirt day across Canada in honour of the Logan Booley effect and Logan Booley as we all know and fortunately died in the Humboldt bush crash last year he was an organ donor and he saved six lives his donation inspired over 100,000 organ donations organ registrations across Canada so on Monday April 8th we'll all be asked to wear green in support of Logan and organ donation across the country I'd like to thank the Trillium gift of life network for the great work that you do we're very proud of you and for your continued advocacy in supporting organ and tissue donation in Ontario thank you member statements the member for Ottawa West Napaian thank you mr. Speaker back in November mr. Speaker I had the chance to table my first private members bill the caregiver recognition act in Ontario and I was tremendously pleased mr. Speaker that on second reading this bill received unanimous support across party lines mr. Speaker the first thing that this bill would have done or would do is to establish the first Tuesday in April as caregiver recognition day in Ontario and while the bill is still making its way through the legislative process I wanted to take an opportunity today in this first week of April to recognize caregivers and the incredibly important contribution that they make there's around eight million caregivers here in Canada and it's estimated that the economic contribution that those caregivers give to our health care system is valued at thirty billion dollars across the country caregivers are so vitally important to our health care our social services and we need to take a moment as legislators to recognize the enormous emotional physical and financial burdens that are placed on caregivers every day and consider how we can best support them so I look forward to the next phases on getting my private members bill passed into legislation so that we can work to improve the experience and lives of caregivers across our province thank you mr. Speaker statements the member for to miss coming Cochran today hundreds of students across my riding the to miss me Cochran are joining thousands of students across the province and protesting changes are being made by the Ford government and on behalf of them and rural students across the province they have some special concerns because in small secondary schools raising the class size is what's going to result is something called class stacking because there won't be enough students so you'll put grade nine academic and grade nine applied in one class and you might still not have enough students so you're throwing a grade 10 and what's going to happen then the quality of education will go down both students and appearance will notice that and they will want to go to a bigger school and then what will happen is the shop teacher will go and we will lose schools across rural Ontario another issue that's really tough for rural Ontario is when they talk about e-learning for credits well you know what the school bus can come and pick the student up at home and then bring him back home but you know what doesn't follow the student in rural Ontario affordable broadband speaker how can you say e-learning when there are students who have no access and pull these a to be a francophone vous vous combattez and French students you fight for education but also for your culture thank you thank you member statements the member for flamborough glamour thank you Mr. Speaker I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about the outstanding business achievement awards held by the flamborough chamber of commerce on Wednesday night in my riding each year the flamborough chamber hosts the OBA awards gala to honour and celebrate the very best in community service and business excellence in the communities that make up flamborough some of the award winners this year include Amy Robson who was named entrepreneur of the year Amy along with her husband Chris Hayworth own and operate the West Avenue cider house in Freelton whose cider won best cider in Ontario from 2014 to 2016 the Somerset orchards where the cider house is located has over 6,000 trees growing over a hundred different varieties of apples and pears and the winner of this year's small business award was M&M products quality home appliances their story is quite remarkable a business started by Mitt Meisner run out of the family home then his son Ward took over and today they celebrate 50 years of serving the community they've had some difficulties over the years but like most Ontario business owners they persevered and today the business moves out of the family home to a new location in Watertown Mr. Speaker in my role as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of economic development job creation and trade along with our government we are focusing on ensuring Ontario is open for business once again and I look forward to building a stronger relationship with the flamborough Chamber of Commerce great job member statements the member for Brampton West thank you Mr. Speaker it is an honour to speak on sick heritage in the species month of April which provides a chance to understand the history and the significant role the sick community has played in Ontario and and Canada and for us to become even more of a proud multicultural country Mr. Speaker we believe there are three duties that a sick must carry out Namjapna which is keeping God in mind at all times Kirt Karna that means earning an honest living and one check now which means shearing once earning with others this can be summed up in three words pray work and give Mr. Speaker the history and contributions of sick community sick Canadians and the journey it has been from the days when those early sick pioneers arrived in Canada to the present day with this nation stands tall as a leader for equality diversity and compassion sick community has made immeasurable contributions to building our province and this proud country in all possible ways Mr. Speaker the history of six in Canada is a story of compassion hard work persistence and progress so therefore I invite the entire house to join in the annual calca day parade to celebrate the birthday of calca on April 28 in Toronto please bring families and friends to participate and enjoy in this open public celebration thank you mr. Speaker that concludes our time for member statements this afternoon reports by committees


What I tell to any student who comes to my office thinking they want to do research and I'll say well why do you want to do research and they'll say well I want to learn about it and that's great and then I'll say well what do you want to do we have many different projects what would you like to get involved in and the answer usually is I don't know and I'll say okay I'm going to list ten things tell me when your heart rate goes up and which of those ten things your heart rate goes up that means there's something about that we don't know what it is at this point doesn't matter but that means that you're either passionate about it or it resonates because of the personal issue doesn't matter but I think you have to start with something that gets you excited you know and if you don't know go go pick up a couple of journals and just thumb through them you don't have to read them look at titles look at images and wherever you start to stop more than you just thumb that's a good starting point and then just go from there. Science especially in the area of biomedicine is very young it's a field that in some ways is only a hundred years old when we read textbooks or we learn about biology in high school or college it sort of feels like everything's known and I think when you feel that way you you also respond by thinking that there's nothing I can do here to make to learn more or to make things better what I would urge people to realize is that there's so much to do because there are so many things that we don't know and yet what's limiting us from knowing those things is not having enough creative people. Mentoring is the most gratifying part of my job as a deputy director of this Institute. I think it's very important for students to get mentors. Don't be deterred or discouraged that these are so-called big shots in the field including the Nobel laureates. Don't be shy go up and ask in my own career I found out those who are most successful in science in their professions are also likewise the most generous. It doesn't matter where they what they want to work on need to study the math the physics and the chemistry and on a practical note that makes you such a more attractive candidate when you're trying to find a job. I tell the freshman that it's really important that you learn math chemistry and physics because believe it or not you're really going to use a lot of that in my junior year course students in our educational system they have to have some faith that all those courses are meant to build a foundation by which they can understand even more complex principles and utilize that knowledge and wish someone had told me that but I make a point to tell my students. The message I would give people is just remember that it only takes a year or two of reading and thinking and learning to get to the cutting edge to get to the edge where you know as much as everybody in the world currently knows and after that point you're now contributing. Always strive for your dream job don't be modest and be aggressive be ambitious aspire to the highest level even though you might want to say oh reality might not allow me to do this or that but the whole idea is to dream big dream higher than you ever thought you could and if you didn't set that higher bar for yourself you could motivate yourself to get there. One of my favorite quotes is from Louis Pasteur who of course said it in French that chance favors the prepared mind this is very important I think in science and probably in all walks of life because everyone has a certain amount of random good luck that happens to them and you have to be ready with that prior notice capitalize on it. You may have a chance if you're looking for a job you may have a chance and counter with the potential future boss and if he or she mentions some topic if if you say oh yes I just read a paper on that or you're able to comment intelligently on it you're going to land on your feet. Try to find something that you like enjoy what you do let it show and never give up because things are not always easy and I think it is extremely important to you know you make to trust yourself you make it follow what you decided to do and don't give up on the first or second or seventh obstacle I mean you need to you need to just pursue your dream until until it becomes reality and this is what very often happens. I think this is an amazing time in science and engineering and if you have any passion for science and engineering you know jump in because the tools the opportunities to learn the scales you can look at the you know from the the angstrom level all the way up to the macroscopic level I fully believe in the next five to ten years we're going to transform the pharmaceutical industry based on tissue engineering and the approaches we're taking there I truly believe in the next 10 to 20 years we'll be able to regenerate a human limb that we can't understand today because of the same kinds of tools and I think we're going to transform medicine and I think now's the time to get involved because the opportunities are just boundless.


Next we have started, it's past the hour. So please welcome Paul Amazoner, who's a volunteer, a worker with data kind. And that's his sort of superman job. Daytime is working in the investment part. Yeah, in the, thank you. Okay, so Paul is going to, I forgot the title though, like your Docker pipeline from pre-producible research or in a workshop that you can follow along here or even after the session. Thank you, Paul. Yep, thanks. Hi everyone, so thanks for coming. This is a workshop, so if you haven't done so, we need accounts for the various platforms. These platforms, GitHub, KIO, and Play With Docker will go into use it later. So while I introduce the overview, you can set up if you don't have yet or you can go to the tiny URL workshop dash accounts or take a snapshot of this. So Docker pipeline for reproducible research. I'm Paul as was introduced a while ago. I'm a developer and also a core volunteer with data kind. So data kind is a nonprofit. We help connect data science volunteers with nonprofit organizations to help them analyze their data for good. You can learn more about data kind in tomorrow's session in FOSS Asia. Raymond and Wei Young will be there to explain more about data kind. So what we're going to do here today. Docker for reproducibility. I'm going to do a recap from what I've shared last year in the video. It's also located in the abstract of this talk and after that we're going to dive in straight into the workshop so that we have more time. We only have I think around 55 minutes for this workshop. So there are two waiting times during the workshop while we build our images. So during the time we'll utilize that to discuss more on what is data dive and then the second waiting time we'll use that to discuss data dive workflows which we are planning to do this year during a data dive. So this is a recap as part of my video last year. What do we mean by reproducibility? In the data kind context we expect the result of a volunteer's analysis on this machine to be reproducible in another volunteer's machine. So volunteer's machine or a nonprofit representative's machine so that at least we don't have these issues like hey it only works in this volunteer's machine but when we transfer the notebook or the script in another volunteer's machine it doesn't work anymore because of the dependency in the library, dependency in the package, the versions and all. So we don't want that to happen. That's why we want as much as possible to promote reproducibility amongst our volunteers in data kind. So this is the link to the... So in data kind previously we tried to promote reproducibility using GitHub by versioning our codes and scripts and notebooks and all and then last year we realized that having versions for the scripts and codes is not enough because a number of the issues that you'll face when doing this analysis or you're producing the analysis of another volunteer is also due to environments because when you try to run the script you'll notice that you have dependency of another version of the package and another dependency of the version of the library and so on and so forth. So we realized that apart from versioning the code and scripts we want to version also the environment. So at least when we run the script or code it will run smoothly because the environment is also version and tested for that matter. Last year I did this video to explain more about Docker. So if you're interested about Docker basics and more discussion and reproducibility you can check out this link, tiny URL Docker for volunteers to check out more discuss more on the Docker basics here we'll focus more on the continuous integration pipeline that we're using in data kind so get to know how we use KIO to do reproducibility and continuous integration. This is the link to the workshop material so that if you want to follow along as I do the demo you can try it also. The all of the instructions that you need are all in the document so you can follow along you can work on it on your own time or you can follow along with me or you can also work on it after this session. All the links that you need are all the accounts that you need are all in the cloud so you don't have to install anything in your machine. So we'll start with the first task that we want to do as part of this. We need to set up our Docker file. So I'm just going to follow the workshop material. Everyone has the link already, right? For the workshop material that's tinyurl.com slash Docker lab and you'll have the material there. We'll do the first task. The first task, well you can just read this on your own the overview that gives the context of this workshop and then the prerequisites I assume you already have GitHub, KIO and corresponding which call this lab play with Docker account. So first we'll need to set up the Docker file. You can fork this repository. So we need to go to our GitHub account and then go here I'll just copy this. By the way, if anyone is stuck somewhere just raise your hand we have mentors around Yoke, Raymond, at the back that will help you in case you're stuck. So we've now flown the repository in our account, GitHub account, containers. Just want to show you something. Click on the workshop folder. Demo Docker set up and then we'll open this Docker file. So in this Docker file you see the base image that we're using. We're using Jupyter minimal notebook as much as possible. Yes? The font size, just a moment. Let me just, it's better, yeah. So this one, as much as possible we want to have the image small so that's why we're using minimal notebook so that at least we don't have the overhead of additional packages that is in that base image. And apart from that, you can already use this as this highlighted text but since we are promoting reproducibility even the base image we want to get a corresponding version so that when we replicate it later we can replicate the corresponding environment that we used for this environment. So the highlighted portion that's the version of that base image. Now here since we're going to use a Python notebook for this all the packages that we need for this particular analysis will store in requirements.txt file. So here, the highlighted, I'll just go one folder up a bit. Demo Docker set up. And then I'll just open this requirements.txt. In this requirements.txt you'll see the corresponding libraries that we need to install for Python and note that we also include the versions. So versioning in the data kind is really important to promote reproducibility so that we know which versions work with which analysis. So this is our requirements.txt which has the Python libraries that we need with their corresponding version. So we're currently in step task one. Step one, we've done. We've done step two, which is examining the Docker file. And then now where our Docker file is ready we can proceed with syncing our GitHub to the KIO. KIO we're going to use for our continuous integration. So task two, I'm just going to update the slide. Going to build Docker image using a continuous integration via KIO. So KIO, I will go there. So here we'll need to create a new repository as explained in the document. I'll just click this. So in the repository, create new repository just type workshop dash notebook. This is the name of our repository. And then we need to put this as public. So KIO is like GitHub. If you put your repository as public then you can get to use it for free. So that's what I like about it. And then we're going to also link to a GitHub repository push so that the GitHub repository that we forked a while ago any changes to that will have this build automatically to give us the new image. Okay, and then create public repository. So this option authorized score OS it doesn't appear now on my side because I already set up a while ago but in case you're setting it this up newly you just need to authorize score OS so that you have a connection between KIO and your GitHub account. So at this point we're on step six. We're going to select our organization in this case our KIO account. Just click continue. And then we're going to select our repository that we've worked a while ago. Contain yourself. And then here you have the option to configure the trigger. So here there are two options trigger for all branches and the other one is trigger for only the branch corresponding branch. So previously in the last year I think in the early days we used to use trigger for all branches and tags and we had a problem on that because in the data kind repository if we have multiple branches any change to any of those branches if there's any change that was submitted to GitHub our build will unnecessarily build an image which is not really good. So ideally we want only to trigger the build whenever there's a change in the master branch. So we're going to limit this to check-ins to a master branch only. So I'll just put heads master and then you'll see matching master so that it will only build if it's a change in the master branch. Hit continue. And then here we'll just select the Docker file which is the one that we intend workshop demo Docker file and then continue. And then the context, the folder where our Docker file is located. Hit continue. And then you'll notice there's an optional robot account. The robot account you'll just need this if you have a base repository that is private but since we don't use a private base repository the Jupyter minimal notebook a while ago is public one so we don't need this so we can skip this. Just hit continue and then we're ready to go. So just click here. So we're on step 12. Just click continue. And then click the this link to go back to the build page. Then click start new build and then click run trigger now and then select a branch. Here we'll just choose master. Start build. And the expectation is it should be building right now. So in case you don't have a feedback right now like what I have, just try to refresh the page. We should see like three dots moving this one. That means that our current image is being built. So what I like about KIO is if you click this build ID it will also show you what's currently going on. It shows you the logging. So what it does is it's trying to pull that base image that Jupyter notebook base image that we've set up a while ago and you'll see the progress until it assembles and then install the necessary fight on packages a while ago. So while the build usually takes around six to seven minutes so we'll just let it build and while building let's discuss more on the data hide stuff. Data hide stuff. So while the image is being built I'll share more about data dive. So what is data dive? A data dive is a weekend long event where a nonprofit organization works alongside data science volunteers, developers, designers to analyze data and gain insight into their programs, the communities they serve and more. So last year we had two data dives organized. The first one was held at Expedia. We've partnered with three nonprofit organizations back then that was I think Red Cross, OJOY and Children's Society. And then we had a second I think in October if I remember correctly. The second data dive was organized in NVPC and we've worked with NVPC data, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Center during that time. So it's a fun event. If you get a chance to join one of this I encourage you to do so. There are blog posts for those events. We have tiny URL for those. Tiny URL slash data dive one or tiny URL data dive two for the blog posts that we've done for last year. So we can read about those. So during this data dive we've learned some things also on the Docker side of things. So last year we did promote on our volunteers to use Docker for reproducibility so that we can easily reproduce the analysis. However, these are the things that we've learned. Not all volunteers use Docker and there are some issues it may be because of the installation and also it may be because of tools preference. So far we've tried to support multiple operating systems like Mac OS, Linux or Windows. A number of them we've been able to set up Docker properly. Some we had issues. So not all the volunteers are able to use the Dockerize tools that we have. And the second thing that we learned is doing reproducibility exercise after the event is quite painful. So the second data dive, the one with NVPC we didn't really plan to use Docker at first but after the data dive event we want to reproduce the results. But then after the event the author might not be there already. So we tried to analyze what's the intention of the author, what version of the library he has used on a particular analysis. So it's very, very tedious. So try an error for checking the library if it works on the new machine is quite laborious. But it's okay, it's lessons learned. So what we'll do is we'll use the lessons learned and improve our workflow in this year's data dive. So we'll talk about more on that later. So we'll check our build if it has completed. So here you can see that Docker build completed and pushed. I'll just go back to our build page. So here we have the build. We can see the white arrow with a white checkbox on the green background. Let's just do the next thing, which is we need to do the labeling. This is to promote the versioning in our environment. So we can see the latest here. What we need to do is click this settings button, add new tag. So here in DataKind we try to use semantic versioning. So we have three numbers. The first number is for major changes. The second is for minor backwards compatibility. And third is if there's any fixes that we need to do. But since this is our first image, I'll just put 1.0.0 and create a tag. And then you'll see the version number here for this particular repo workshop national book. So let's see where we are in the documentation. We've added new tag. We've done this. We've checked that we have the repository tag and version. Now that we have the version notebook, we can proceed in curating volunteers deliverables. So deliverables could be data visualization, a Python script, Python notebook, or whatever the volunteer delivers for that matter. That will be our task to curating of deliverables. So I'll just update this, curate deliverables. So in this context, this is usually what the Docker captain or data dive Docker captain is doing during data dives. They will be helping in curating the deliverables done by the volunteers. So here, in a normal data dive, what usually happens is Docker captains will have their own Docker set up on their machines so that they can easily replicate. But for this workshop, so that we don't install anything on a machine, we'll try to use Play with Docker so that it will do everything in the cloud. And then we save a lot of bandwidth by doing that. So here, just log into your Play with Docker account and click start and then we'll create a new instance for that. So here I have the Play with Docker account. I'll just start. Oops, let me refresh it. Maybe a lot of people, okay, good. Maybe a lot of people are using Play with Docker right now. So add new instance. Yep, that's a good thing to know. Okay, so it will show you a console. And then what we need to do is, we're going to clone or contain yourself repository. I'll just click here. And then be sure to put your GitHub account in the path, the real data scientist. Okay, done. Just need to ensure that the repo is there. ls, contain yourself. Okay, we're good. Back to the documentation. We can run the Docker image that we will pull the Docker image and then run accordingly in our console. Just paste this here. And then don't forget to put your KIO account where we built our image a while ago. The scientist. Okay, and then click enter. So while it's pushing and downloading the image, let me just share to you Docker command. So 80 here is from Play with Docker. So that's the port. And then it's mapped to the 8888 of Jupyter, which is in the container. And we've also mapped the volume. So this first part on the left is the path inside Play with Docker, which is mapped to the folder inside the container, which is the Jovian work. And then this version, if you notice, is the version that we built recently, a while ago with KIO. So let's check if it has pulled, if the pull is complete. So currently it's pulling the image, the layers. And then once this is done, we'll be able to run our Jupyter notebook. So download complete. We still have a few more to go. I think it's got stuck. I'll just pull it again. Are you guys able to pull the image from your built repository? I'll try one more. Otherwise I'll proceed with the recording of this. Yeah, I think it has some issues pulling the image. So what I'll do is I'll just play this. Pre-recorded curation of the deliverables. So as you can see in the screen, we're in task three where we're going to curate the deliverables. And then of course this one we explained. Let me just fast forward, opening the Docker. So we just copied the, let me just forward it a bit. Okay, so it's building. Okay, so once the build is complete, you'll see a token available for your Jupyter notebook. Just click on that. And then just copy the token. And then back to the Play with Docker, click the eight port 80 link at the above. And then place the token in the token text box. And then you'll see this screen with both the notebooks, as explained in the documentation. So we're going to check volunteer once notebook first. And then do around all in the notebook. And then we should see this visualization at the end. So clicking that notebook will open a new tab. And then we have this notebook, which we're just getting the data. And then using Pandas and Jason to slice and dice. And then that's the table that we're getting. And then we're going to demo the group by function. And then do the demo using Plotly, which is one of the libraries that we're using for this. So just click cell and then run all. And we should be seeing the visualization at the bottom once the cells are run. So this is what we've got. That means we're able to reproduce volunteer once analysis. So we just created a stack graph using Plotly for this. Now the next one is once we've replicated or produced volunteer once analysis, we're going to also reproduce volunteers to analysis. Note that once the analysis has been successfully reproduced, usually Docker captains will indicate which version of the environment we used for that. So we'll proceed with volunteer two's notebook. We'll close this, go to home, and then open the volunteer two's notebook. So for volunteer two, same thing. We'll still get the data, same data as we've used by volunteer one. And then we'll still use the same packages like Pandas and JSON. The only difference is here we're going to calculate percentage for each year for the Red Cross data. And then use Bokeh for doing the data visualization instead of Plotly. So just click cell and then do run all. And then while that is running, the expectation is you'll see that it's not working because we don't have a Bokeh package in the image. So what we'll do here is the same thing as what we have in the documentation. We have an issue, we have an environment issue. So let's proceed with this, how to solve environment issue. So I'll just go back to the documentation again. That is task four, resolve environment issue. So the issue that we face here is we cannot run or replicate or reproduce volunteer two's notebook because we have a missing package called Bokeh. But note that in the actual scenarios, in actual data dive, the issues that we face is not as simple as this. Sometimes it's not only missing libraries, sometimes there could be binaries that are also missing. So we need to explore and talk to the author and then try to resolve the issues during that time. But for the workshop to make it simple, we have a missing Bokeh library. So what we need to do is go back to our GitHub account. I'll just go here. And then in the GitHub, in our requirements folder, our requirements file, we just update the file. Click here, edit this file. And then here, notice that we don't have Bokeh yet here. So we'll need to put an additional package called Bokeh for the data visualization of volunteer two. And then place the corresponding version. So essentially, we found this out, for example, by talking to the author, hey, what version of Bokeh did you use to replicate your data visualization? So once you have this, we're going to commit the changes. So add info, add the Bokeh, and then commit the changes. So once we've committed the changes here, the expectation is we should have, we should pick up this change and build a new image correspondingly. So let me just expand that. In our build page, we should see a new build running. So added Bokeh. So currently, it's building a new version for our image for this workshop notebook repository. So while that is being built, let's explore a bit on the new stuff that we're exploring for this year. So while the image is being built, let's discuss data-dive workflows that we're planning. So this year, because of the issues that we faced as we discussed a while ago, we tried to experiment a new approach. So instead of volunteers directly checking into the master branch, we will try to introduce a new item in the workflow, which is curating of deliverables. So here, you'll see that the volunteer has already done the deliverable. The deliverable could be notebook script or visualization. What the volunteer will do, instead of checking in directly to the, or doing a PR or pull request to the master branch, he or she will do a PR on the integration branch. Then in the integration branch, we will have another role, which is the docker captain, which will pull those deliverables. And then what he or she will do is he or she will try to reproduce the results or analysis from that branch, either using the new image or the environment that we have. If there's any issue, let's say missing libraries and so on, then what the docker captain will do is we will update the image file, the docker file, and then add the corresponding missing library there and rebuild. And then hopefully in the new version of the image, we will be able to reproduce the analysis or the deliverable of the volunteer. Once everything is good, next step is to push the approved deliverable to the GitHub main branch to a PR there. And then we have a GitHub admin to assess the changes. If everything looks good, then it goes straight to our main branch. That way, we can sort of ensure that whatever is in our master branch is reproducible. So let's check whether, before we do that, the docker captain has also a special overflow of its own. So apart from creating and updating the docker image and curating the deliverables, we also have this thing called docker overflow. It's a sort of stock overflow kind of thing during data type events that if there are any frequently asked questions about docker, let's say the volunteer choose to use docker for doing the analysis. If there are any frequently asked questions, he or she will just go to that docker overflow and then check if the issue was faced before and if there are common answers to those issues. So let's revisit our build. So here, we have added the bouquet. What we're going to do here now is we're going to go to the tags again because we need to add in a new label. And here, if you notice, this is very important. You notice that the latest here is 20 minutes ago. That is a lie, I think. So you need to refresh the page because you need to ensure the latest is really the latest, right? So I'm going to refresh it and then the latest now says a minute ago. So that's good. What we'll do here is we'll add a new tag and then put 1.0.1. So create a tag. So you have now a new tag called 1.0.1 and what will happen next is we're going to pull that version in our play with docker and then check whether we can replicate or reproduce volunteer choose analysis. Let's check where we are in the documentation. Add a new tag. We have 1.0.1 because we're fixing the image. We have seen this version. Go back to your play with docker console. We'll kill the current one that is running and then run the new version. So let's go back and do accordingly. So go back to play with docker console. I'm going to kill this and then control L to clear the stuff and then... So here it's pointing to 1.0.0 which is the old version, the version that doesn't work with volunteer choose a notebook. We're going to increment this with 1 which is the new image that we've built and versioned and then I'll click enter. Hopefully this will work. So already exists because we already pulled a while ago. Then let's give it a few moments. Otherwise I'll restart the pooling again. Let me refresh this. I'm a bit impatient. I'll just try it again. One last try if it doesn't work. I'll move to the recording. I think it has problem pooling the image again. Anyone successfully pulled the image? Mine has some problem. So I'll just proceed with resolving the docker issue with the new version. I'll just play this. Basically we'll just pull it again with that corresponding version. Version 1.0.1 and hit enter. So in the docker playground we'll just remove the necessary tabs that we used a while ago and then kill this and then ensure that you have the correct version applied 1.0.1 which contains our bouquet package and then once it has completed loading or downloading the image then we're able to use the Jupyter accordingly. So it needs 252 MB. We're nearly there. So once that is complete we need the token. So just click that link and then copy the token accordingly and then click the port and then pass the copied token in the screen. So we're not going to run again volunteer once notebook since that already is working in the previous image. What we do now is to try to see if this new image version is able to resolve the issue that we faced a while ago with volunteer 2's notebook. So we'll need to click the notebook of volunteer 2 analysis from volunteer 2, iPython notebook and then just basically run all. This is based from the documentation that you have. So we'll click this this is volunteer 2's notebook. So we're going to click cell and then run all. It will run all the cells of volunteer 2's notebook and as you can see we're able to replicate now what volunteer 2 has done. So our adding bouquet package resolve that issue and then we have this new image which is version 1.0.1 which is now able to replicate volunteer 2's analysis. So that's the donation percentage per year and then back to our documentation. So this is what we've done so far. So we have four tasks in this workshop. We had set up the Dockerfile in GitHub which is basically the Dockerfile base image which has a version Docker image as well. We place all the Python libraries and Python packages that we need for the analysis in GitHub and then task 2 we did connect the Dockerfile that we have in GitHub to KIO to have a continuous integration and then after that we tried to put on our Docker captain hat which is to curate deliverables of volunteers. We tried with volunteer 1, it worked. Unfortunately, in the first try it didn't work with volunteer 2. Why? Because we have missing packages. So what we did was to resolve the environment issue which is task 4. So we went back to GitHub, added the missing package and then we submit it but since we have continuous integration after submitting in GitHub it automatically triggers the build in KIO. So after the new image is built in KIO we try to put the version which is 1.01 we are using semantic versioning. Once that is done we're able to pull the new version in our play with Docker and then able to reproduce the analysis of volunteer 2. So that's good. So if you've done this, congratulations you've just completed the Docker pipeline workshop if you want to check more on let's say if you're keen to volunteer as a Docker captain in one of our data dives check out our Meetup page we might have we haven't announced yet I think our data dive but it's somewhere around April so subscribe to this Meetup page and then you'll be able to be notified once we have the data dive. Any questions so far? That's the end of the workshop basically. So we have a few minutes early than expected. Any questions? So if you haven't done this in this session the materials are still available you can try it after this also. Thanks everybody Thanks for attending. Thank you.

How's it going? My name's Davy Chappy and you know I really hate it when a family breaks apart.  See? I told you you've heard this one before. Today we will be talking about the faction of Gith that chose the superior way to live with their newfound freedom, the Gith Yankee. I'm gonna go over everything about the Gith Yankee as presented in Mordenkain's Tome of Foes from their days freed from the Elythids and beyond, and as always remember that a lot of this is just my opinion, but with that away, let's begin. So if you've seen my Mind Flayer guide then you know about how the Mind Flayers used the Gith race as slaves up until the Gith revolted and wiped out the entire Elythid civilization. It was at this point that the Gith had a choice to make, they could either continue their warmongering ways and move on to conquer the rest of the multiverse, or they could focus their efforts inward and seclude themselves from the world so that they could continue to nurture a better civilization than the one they were freed from. Ultimately the two factions split apart with the warmongers naming themselves Gith Yankee and the seclusionists naming themselves Gith Zurai. The two groups decided henceforth to become mortal enemies, with battles raging whenever any Gith from opposing groups are brought together. But this video isn't about what the Gith have in common, it's about what's different. So let's take some time to focus on the peace and tranquility boys, the Gith Zurai.  And when Gith, as in Gith the goddess of the Gith, eventually sought out the help of Tiamat to finish that uprising, Zerthomon was the first to proclaim, Wait, that's a bad idea. To which the Gith loyal to Gith responded, Hey, what if we murdered you? This killing split the factions, and the followers of Zerthomon that would become the Gith Zurai moved away from their brethren to a nice home in the countryside of Limbo, where the never-ending chaotic storms would hide them so long as they kept their minds focused on drowning out the chaos and replacing it with enlightenment. Nowadays, the Gith Zurai are ruled by a mummified Gith named Menyar Ag, because normal names are impossible, and he leads the Gith Zurai in constructing mighty adamantine fortresses within the chaos of Limbo, where they stay and reside, content in leaving the rest of the world to its own devices, unless it involves halting the evil plans of either their estranged cousins of the Gith Yankee, or the ultimate enemy, the Mind Flayers. And within these citadels, Gith Zurai act as peaceful farmers and monks, using their psionic powers to manipulate the swirling tides within Limbo and shape them into whatever the Gith Zurai could want. This ultimate creative control over the world around them actually leads to some culture shock when Gith Zurai venture off outside of Limbo and into the material plane to find everything so fixed in its own existence, unmoldable and obstinate like the creatures that inhabit it.  So while the Gith Zurai aren't out to downright make anybody's life worse, they do have a habit of being off-putting and disturbing just by their appearance in a given place, which is unfortunate because their preferred interaction with the rest of the multiverse is to be docile monks that teach the ways of Zirthamon and warn slash protect against the dangers of both the Gith Yankee and the Mind Flayers. But their constant exudence of macabre, far-elm, spooky-time power resonance means that they will never truly connect with the world the way that they would want to. Finally, there are a sect of Gith called the Shasal Coe that work within both the Gith Yankee and the Gith Zurai to reunify the factions into one big Gith race, and while they haven't been gaining the amount of traction that they might want, they still hold a presence on the material plane, hoping to one day bring the Gith back into their former glory.  Gith Zurai get a bonus to both intelligence and wisdom, advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened, and they can cast the Mage Handcantrip with the hand being invisible, along with having spells like Shield and Detect Thoughts, all of these being cast using wisdom and acting as psionic abilities that Gith just inherently have. Now, there really is no use for having bonuses in both intelligence and wisdom out of basic role-playing, but the idea of the Gith Zurai has always been to be a monk, so giving them a bonus to intelligence at least gives you a wider selection of what type of magic caster you might want to be if you choose to go down that route. Magic spells are pretty neat, especially since they all have very practical applications, and being resistant to fears and charms, along with you being able to cast Shield naturally, means that while you may not be an offensive powerhouse, your skill set will keep you focused and ready for what's to come. But that'll about do it. I hope you enjoyed this video. Leave a bunch of words that I always get tired of saying, subscribe if you can't get enough of me talking forever, and maybe support me on Patreon to pay for the damages caused by someone spawning their adamantine citadel on my house. But yeah, dev'ya.


Rashmi, can you share a successful project from your own design studio? Yeah sure, when we were commissioned at Studio Korjan to design an air cooler back in 1989, it was the first time that a mass produced air cooler was being envisaged. At that time small outfits made metal coolers mostly custom made and few manufacturers made products that were out in the market. Very noisy, noisy and also they would rust. The brief for us was that it had to be a compact cooler and it was designed for window installation just like an air conditioner. We designed the product to be mass produced by a process of plastic injection molding and since it was large we broke it up into six interlocking plastic components which could be easily assembled. This produced the cost of tooling the product. The client had no manufacturing setup of his own and they used to get the product manufactured from vendors and they had an assembling facility and this saved them time and money. That was the birth of the high quality symphony air cooler. I know I remember I had one. Yeah and it was a product that was intended so that it would never rust. So actually in this way new materials, new manufacturing techniques played a great role in the success of this product. The symphony cooler caught the imagination of the market. In the first year alone the company sold 25,000 coolers three times what they had targeted. The product became the mainstay of the company and the company then changed their name to symphony limited. In fact we designers were amused when several imitation products cropped up in the following summer. Like they say imitation is the best form of flattery. So you know sometimes designers invent a product which applies an existing technology in an entirely new way. This could lead to a radically new product which could be patentable. Let me tell you about design directions. A design consultancy firm run by our friends Satish and Falguni Gokhale. They have come up with a design for a dry powder inhaler for asthma patients. Combitide starhaler is a 60 dose dry powder asthma inhaler providing uniform deep lung delivery of the drug to patients. Indiana inhaler has a very resourceful design and is designed to increase efficacy by helping the drug reach deep in the lungs where it is most required and give faster relief to the patient. This enables the drug dosage to be reduced by half. It also lowers the expense for the user and also reduces the amount of drug that going into the system. It is simple to operate by the patient and a special mechanism eliminates the possibility of the error of double dosage. Is it out finally? Yes, this has now been taken up for manufacture and it's available in Indian and global markets.
