Hi everyone, I'm here with one of my clients, Carolina Putnam, who is going to be sharing with us some of the lessons she's learned in our work together. Hopefully this will inspire you and show you what's possible. And let me begin with Carolina's intro. First of all, hi Carolina. Hello. So Carolina is a Louisiana native and she's the founder and director of an organization called Revivalution, which is an intercultural organization that's dedicated to sharing indigenous traditions in the heart of modern culture. She now lives full time in the sacred valley of Peru, which is near where Machu Picchu is, and she works closely with her family of the Kero Nation, the indigenous nation, to support individuals and communities in sustainable and purposeful living. So her organization Revivalution and her Kero family, they offer indigenous ceremonies for individuals and groups. So any of you watching this can actually travel to where they are and have an authentic indigenous experience with the spiritual ceremonies and the teachings and the transformational retreats there. They also provide service team work exchanges to build what they're building right now is an eco sanctuary. And they also provide intensives to teach individuals how to apply indigenous wisdom to modern living. So welcome Carolina, great having you here. We can actually hear the birds in the background, which is really cool. That's authentic being out there in nature, living out there. So let's talk about some of the lessons you've learned. Some of them have been surprising to you. Some of them have been delightful that you learn in our work together. So one of the things you mentioned to me as we were talking about this is about what you've learned in terms of content. So maybe you can share a bit about that. Can you hear me? I know my internet seems to be freezing a little. Yeah, now I can hear you. Okay, so you asked me what are some of the most valuable lessons that I've been learning with you. Well, I definitely know one of the ones that was most surprising to me was actually he showed me how to check in on the back end of Facebook at the business side and looking at the ads and looking at the posts. And I was really surprised to find out that most 70 or 80% of the people that are following a revolution are women. I did had no idea. I did have an idea about the age bracket, but not as pinpointed as you helped me to see. I thought our age bracket was quite a bit more broad, but it seems that our age bracket actually is between the age of 25 to 35 and sometimes into the 45. And they are women that are in between 25 and 35 that love festivals that like plants and alternative healing. And so yeah, it was just kind of cool to be able to check in from the back end and get more pinpointed to who some of our fellow allies are. I actually thought you were reading my, my profile of things that I had done this year because it was all artists that I had seen this year through our work and, you know, herbal companies that I love.  Which is great. Yeah. And yeah, that was really nice for me to understand because it helps me to to consider a bit more whenever I am thinking about the educational content. And that was another biggie for me that I learned from you and actually that was the reason I decided to become a client of yours. I read the first page of your book. I didn't even get through like, even two pages into the chapter and I was like, I'm going to call him and see if he has an extra an extra space right now. Because I felt that it was so valuable what you were sharing, particularly around the approach of sharing educational content. And so sharing educational content has been really impactful because it actually allows me to go deeper into the teachings that I'm learning here and to form them and how to articulate them and then to share that with others. And so it naturally invites the right people to come and be with us. Excuse me. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah. And you can also notice that that of the different types of postings you've done. It seems like the videos are working well for you guys. Significantly more. I mean, sometimes if I do a writing, maybe 50 people like it. Now if I do a video about 1500, I mean, yeah, 1500 people to 2000. We'll see it. Yeah, we'll watch it. Yeah. Maybe like somewhere around 50 people or I guess including my messages, there's like a back and forth of messaging around like 50 messages on each video. Yeah. Wow. Amazing. And I think just for everybody watching this, like it isn't always the case that video will work for every business. It really is important for every business to test out the different forms of media, video, images, text only articles, and maybe shares to various links or whatever it may be. But different forms on social media so that you can let your audience tell you what they see as the best fit for your brand, your style. And in this case, Carolina, your videos where you share your understanding of the wisdom makes a lot of sense because that's sort of the mission of Revivalution is to bring Indigenous wisdom into modern culture. So you are essentially acting as the bridge between those two worlds.  And I am intrigued by the wisdom she's learning now being part of the Indigenous culture. So it's really cool. I'm glad you're doing that. I really like that point. Please try to interrupt. Please go ahead. I really like that point. And that's one of the points that has stuck with me a lot is let your audience tell you what they love and appreciate and let them show you what they what they're wanting. And that's one of the biggest takeaways, I think that I've received from listening to you and have it repeated over and over too. I'm watching you use that model like and knowing that it works because I signed on for it, you know, and I don't feel that I'm being like worked in any way. I'm like willingly signing on for it. I would love for people that want to work with us to feel that same way. They genuinely feel that they're being benefited through the work that we're sharing and through what we're interacting with, you know, they're sharing exactly what they want to see more of. And so oftentimes I'll make videos based on questions that people actually ask us in a class or in a ceremony and the ones that repeat over and over. I'll have to make a video about that. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. And you've also been learning a bit about the importance of partnerships. Do you want to say a bit about that. Yeah, I've really this is something I've been exploring. I can't say that I've landed them 100% but I love that idea. Actually just made a video today about collaboration or reciprocity and that's this is one of the things that you're actually sharing. It's both a spiritual concept as well as a business concept as well as a friendship thing. And so, for instance, right now we're about to build an eco sanctuary. And I definitely felt how much of a city person I am today when my husband is showing me how to rake up the dirt to plant the corn and I'm doing it all wrong the whole time. But that process for me to understand what do we do to build an eco sanctuary, you know, we're hosting every treat in April to do a permaculture design certificate course, and I know nothing about gardening.  So one of the partnerships I've been exploring recently is with my friend Tom LeBlanc, who was one of the first people that came down to Peru to support us. And he is a permaculture design, like landscaper. And he's also wanting to expand his business. So we've been speaking and we're going to do a mock workshop next week. And the partnership would be that he he does know permaculture and knows those steps. And I'm the ideal client of someone for him, you know, and I'm also can can bring in the spiritual aspect of how permaculture is united with indigenous wisdom. And so we'll be doing a workshop to share how Andy and wisdom and earth wisdom can actually benefit even a modern lifestyle in in the city. And so we're testing it out with my service team that's already here next week. And then we hope to have it really dialed in for to invite everyone to come starting in January. So once a month we'll be offering a permaculture design and Andy and wisdom workshop online. And that's a good partnership where we're both growing. Yeah, absolutely. I'd love to just take a moment and have you Oh, by the way, I'm hearing some noise from the microphone. I don't know if there's something wrestling around. That's okay. Okay. Yeah, that wrestling there. But anyway, I'd love for you to show us.  Do you want to show us like just on on the screen, like out your window. Okay, you're showing this earlier. This is out directly out my desk window. It's corn and the mountains there. And then right outside my little balcony door is this mountain. Oh my gosh. It's the real deal. It's very incredible. One of the other things you've been learning is about, of course, joyful productivity, which, which, which we talk about. And let's see here. I can hear you. Yeah. And so tell us what you're learning in terms of joyful productivity. And I know it's always a work in progress. But what are you, what are you getting from it? Well, I'm still trying to bring the joy into it. Yep. But yeah, one of the things that I've really appreciated it through your joyful productivity workshop is creating a schedule. So I live in Peru. And I can't even tell you how challenging it is to work with indigenous people and to also be on Skype calls and be with Australia and with Europe and United States and have clans and newsletters and at the same time being doing both. And I was really confused for many years. How do I, I felt really confused. How do I stay up with all of these tasks? And I felt that I couldn't even, you know, eat dinner peacefully with people because I've just like, should I be doing something else right now? Just really thinking that I was falling behind. And so one thing I learned with you is to make the categories. So in having categories now, I know whether I follow it to a T or not, having a schedule in place for the week really supports me. So whenever there are people that call that are potential clients or participants, then I know to accept them on Tuesday or Thursday between four and six p.m. And whenever we are talking about a partnership or a JV, then I know that I do that on Wednesday. And so it's not so confusing. And I know that if I want to do newsletters, I do that on like every other Friday or Friday. So just having that in place helps me to feel confident that I'm not slipping. And even if it happens like today, today I did not do some of the things that were on the schedule exactly because it was necessary to go through corn and to do the land. But I did a video at the same time. And so if I have a whole day where I need to go to Cusco and do lawyers and do, you know, notaries and all of these things which take an entire day sometimes to here. I know that in the back of my mind that I'm not missing. And I know the next time that I'll be able to get to it. And the categories like you shared, rather than filling up my calendar with tasks, I have categories in lists on my phone. Yeah. And can you still hear me? Yes. Okay. So I have categories in lists on my phone. So I know that when it's JV time, I go to the JV category and I know where my next one, who's my next JV to speak with and to approach. And that's been really helpful for me. And being that it's all virtual too. If I do have an entire day where I'm doing the land or, you know, working with my students here, then I can just move the slot over. And they can mix and match and move them around. And for me, that's been really helpful. I feel a lot less stressed, you know, and feeling a lot more useful of how to adapt that to the type of lifestyle that I have here. Yeah. Wow. Fantastic. So maybe we'll just kind of start wrapping up the call and two things. One is, I'll definitely want you to mention your offerings as we close the call. But one other thing that in our work together, I mean, in part due to our work together, you're starting to see your courses fill more and do you want to talk a bit about that? Yeah, it was really interesting. What happened when the more I put out content, people started asking us to fill our courses. So I noticed that the people that are most attracted to us would rather me not set a date for our retreats, they would rather us have this ongoing package. And they let us know when they're available and one person will sign up. And then I put that date out there and more people sign up. So that was really surprising to me. I'm still trying to wrap my head. My mind still wants to structure everything. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I'm still just, it's been really nice. Every time we end one course, other people are recommended and it's happening now three months in a row. Wow. Yeah. It's been really nice. Yeah. Awesome. So tell us what what the courses are coming up and anything else you want to, you want the audience to know about. Yeah, that's yes. So, um, yeah, the ongoing course that we do that a lot of people have been signing up for. It's called applying Andy and wisdom intensive. And this is where we share five days of how do we integrate indigenous practices into daily life. And how do we use some of the tools that are around us all the time, whether I'm at the computer, whether I'm in on the road, whether I live in the city, whether I live on a farm. How do we do some very simple practices and many of them actually, many people are actually introduced to already such as smudging and people maybe know a bit about tobacco. Some of the plants that we work with, I realized are some of the more controversial plants in the world. We work with coca leaves. We work with tobacco and we work with alcohol, all his offerings. And so what we do in this course is share how making offerings and formulating our own prayer and connection to the earth can really support our work and our passions. And from there we kind of build up. So that's the base course. That's the intensive and from there we do a 14 day retreat, which is this is the base course with an additional trip out to the jungle. And to meet the master weavers and learn more about how to do the dyes and the plants and crafts in indigenous traditions is a way of meditating, keeping the mind present and creating gifts that reflect nature. And then we do an herbology course in that. So it's all about plants and our third immersion or course is the same that we just shared for two weeks. And with an additional permaculture design certificate course with Penny Livingston, Jr. bulliness. And so this is where we learn where these offerings and these practices came from originally. It came from our connection to the gardens and to support us to to be in connection with the earth. And so all of this is to support everybody to, you know, find whether we're moving more into the plants and to nature or whether we're living in the city. How do we cultivate practices that can really enhance our lives today in time. And so all of those courses are posted online on Revivolution.net. Yeah, wow, I love it. I will be sure to put the link and as well as your Facebook page, both of that into the notes of the video, I really encourage everyone to go check it out. I mean, it really is an extraordinary type of organization and experience that you guys can have if you decide to work with them. And maybe just to end the call, can you tell us a little bit about coca leaves?  I think it was the wrestling you were hearing before. Oh, okay. Yeah, open them here. And yeah, so the coca leaves are a spiritual practice around the Andes, and it's seen as the mother of wisdom and a connection to the earth. And so I'm going to grab three of them here, which is called a kintu. So I put three together. And if we're sitting here in the same room, then I blow my good intentions and I pass them to you. And I say, what's means we sit, we share the same life force. And so this is a way of establishing community we share and we sit and after about 20 minutes, our conversation elevates into a certain space. And we have a really, really beautiful conversation. So this is a tool for communication, both personally with the earth and amongst people together.  Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, this is great. And you actually have a video where you go more in depth into that. So people can find out on your Facebook page. Well, thank you, Carolina. I really appreciate your time and your just diligent application of some of the things that we've been working on. And I just look forward to seeing Revivalution grow and thrive in 2018. Thank you so much. Thank you. I really appreciate our time. I look forward to it every two weeks. Yeah, totally. All right, well, everyone checking this out, go and take a look at the links in the notes of the video and perhaps you'll have a chance to go and enjoy the actual experience with Carolina and the caro nation out there. All right, bye everyone.


Welcome to CES. This time ST has a really really fun one for you. Quite a bit different from our normal direct time of flight where we shoot out pulses of light. This time we're going to take out turn on a VIXL and we're going to send out waves of light and by having that light hit an object bounce back we can measure the phase change and by knowing that phase change we can figure out where an object is. The neat part about this technology instead of getting 8 by 8 or 16 by 16 we get a full megapixel worth of data in a point cloud and my buddy Paul is going to show you what we get. If we just look on the turbo we see all these data points of where people are and I'll move around show you what it looks like. See that? You can see my buddy Paul. You can see the camera man lady behind us moving around wave high there you go. It goes out to a full 7 or 9. It goes way out there. Quite a bit beyond the efforts of a direct time of flight. Now what this company Karnoptix has done has married the camera, a standard normal camera, to our point cloud to give you a molded image of what we're seeing and you push this button you can see there I am it looks just like me well almost and you can see the nice camera lady back here her name is Elizabeth and what do you see else you kind of see the boosts in the back you can see all that stuff here's the color image here here's the point cloud here there's the signal strength of how much data we're getting back and I'm nice and bright and everything's kind of dull in the background as it gets further back there this is really cool technology. Now got some numbers you have to remember it's a VD-55 H1 from ST Microelectronics that's the guy in the center right there that does all the work on the way out there is a Vixel that creates the light and the waves of light and over on the right hand or the left hand side I don't know what side it is for you it's the camera and we merge all it together Karnoptix did a great job. Now you can get this module as big as you want here it's quite large you can get another version a nice small module where you have the Vixel and you have the depth map camera right next to it got another form factor in a tiny little shape we'll get zoom dip on these later you can see them they're kind of cool and it's the magic of ST in an indirect time of flight part the part is the VD-55 H1 and you can buy it today oh and I'm always supposed to tell you with ST technology starts with you


Hello good morning everybody, all the teachers all around the country who are listening to me. First of all I am thankful to say Gaitunde who has given this opportunity to talk about the course that will be done in December this year. And the idea of this half an hour interaction that I would like to have with you is just to give a little bit of idea about the course. So, this course the title of this course is Solar Photovoltypes Fundamentals, Technologies and Applications and I will tell you a little bit about that in detail. This will run from 12th to 22nd December this year. And this course is jointly sponsored by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, National Information on Education through ICT, National Center for Photovoltype Research and Education. So, as I said I will give you a brief idea about this course itself and why we are doing this course and what is the need of this course. So, the first question is why course on Solar Photovoltypes, Solar Photovoltype courses are not so common in the institutes and university, but there is a strong need of main power in this area as it is failed by the ministry as it is failed by IIT Bombay. And as a result of this we are doing lot of training programs on Solar Photovoltypes and therefore, there will be a need of such course. So, just this you would already be knowing, but for example, limitation of convention energy sources can broadly put into three categories. One is that the source is available in limited quantities for example, coal and petrol and gas. And therefore, there is a need to find alternative sources to fulfill our energy requirement. And this has been the trend all over the world that people are trying to find out alternatives for to replace our convention energy sources from non-convention energy sources and solar energy is of course, one of them. So, the first limitation is the limited availability and we know that coal and other fuels are not going to last forever. Second is environmental pollution. So, we know that the use of fossil fuels like coal and oil and gas results in the emission of greenhouse gases which eventually results in what we know what we know it is now it is a climate change. And therefore, it is important to avoid use of those kind of fossil fuel based sources. And the third important aspect of convention energy sources is energy security. We know that these fuels are not uniformly available all over the world. So, we know oil for example, petrol is not easily not available in our country and we import almost 85 percent of the fuel and which can be which is not which may not provide stability and security in terms of the energy source itself. And we know that without the uses of these fuels we cannot survive long. Therefore, considering the limited availability environmental pollution and energy security all governments all around the world feels that we have to find alternative sources and solar energy is one solution. So, there are huge efforts that are being put worldwide on renewable energy sources to find appropriate solution for our energy requirement. And India is no exception. So, the Indian government is also putting lot of efforts to make this possible. So, for example, one such program of government of India is what is called Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, JNNSM in brief it is called. So, this program was launched in January last year and it has targets it is a very high targets. So, for example, it by the end of the program which is ending in 2022 the government of India is planning to install 20,000 megawatts of solar power. And this solar power will be of course, done in a various phases. For example, phase one is ending in 2013 where we will have 1000 megawatt phase two is ending in 2017 where we will have 4000 megawatts and eventually 20,000 megawatt. So, this is the scheme of the central government, but there are many state governments including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and several other states are having their own policies to promote solar energy in their states. And Gujarat is for example, one of the leading state where the 500 megawatt is shown in slide is little old number, but now they are targeting 700 megawatts of solar power in the state by 2014. So, what you can see here is not only in the world, but in India also there are large activities that is happening to install solar power. And this installation capacities are in huge number. Now, so the government is promoting this technology, but there are several things required to promote a given technology. For example, should there be kind of efforts to have the promotion of the manufacturing of the technology. And we know that solar energy is expensive, so should the government buy the electricity at the higher cost, in the scheme is known as Fedin tariff, should all the state government be also opting for the solar energy. So, there is a renewable energy purchase obligation, so what kind of applications this solar energy technology should be used and what scale it should be used. So, there are lot of efforts that are going under the national solar mission. And one such effort which is highlighted in green here is about training of a manpower. And if you consider the scale of the installation that will happen in the country, the manpower requirement the government estimates is about 100,000 people in very near term. Now, we know that the 100,000 people are not available and therefore, we need to train, but at IIT Bombay our personal calculation shows that it is not only 100,000 people, but we need something like 300,000 people in solar energy. And therefore, training must be done immediately in this particular area, because without that the technology promotion in the country will get hindered. So, as a part of the national solar mission, government of India is also established a center called national center for photovoltaic research and education at IIT Bombay. This center was established in October 2010 and as you can see from this chart the objectives of the center is one of the major objective of the center is to impart education on solar energy solar photovoltaics particularly. But also to conduct research state of the art research and lead Indian PV industry and this research we are doing in silicon solar cells, we are doing research on new materials and devices, PV modules, systems, product design, technology evaluation, power electronics. So, almost everything that touches the solar photovoltaic. So, and there are large number of faculty members involved at IIT Bombay who are doing research on various subjects under solar photovoltaics. And of course, research modeling and simulation is important part. So, as you can see from this the national center for photovoltaic research and education at IIT Bombay is having a strong thirst both on education as well as on research. So, what I am talking to you today is particularly about the education part. So, at in terms of education and training on solar photovoltaic at IIT Bombay we are doing several activities. One activities of course, which is part of our mandate is to run courses for our PhD students, MTECH students, BTECH students, MSC students and in a minor program for undergraduate level. So, we are of we are running a few courses which actually deals with the photovoltaics. We are also preparing the course material for other colleges. For example, many of our courses are being recorded in the form of video and this courses will also be available to you in the form of web. So, not so that you know people or teachers from other engineering college where the resource person will not be available or may not be available can access this courses and actually learn from this courses and use this material for a teaching material for their own students. Not only the course materials, but we are also preparing laboratory kids. So, many times when you when you conduct this kind of training programs or the courses in engineering colleges across the country, you do not get the facility to carry out the experiments and just to take care of that we are also developing laboratory kids which we are going to give it to the various centers where people are the participant can also do the experiment real experiment on solar energy. So, this is under the preparation of the course material we are also doing distance education. As I said the training on the web and satellites based we are also planning with not done it so far, but we may come up with the post graduate diploma for working professionals in solar energy. In terms of the training for the industry, we are conducting short term training programs which may be like 3 days program, 5 day program or 2 days program or targeting on one particular areas. For example, it may be on a basics on solar cells, it may be on grid connected photovoltaic system, it may be on power electronics for solar photovoltaics and things like that. So, a role of this programs are announced in on our website. Let me give the details of the website and many of this videos are already available on the website. So, the website is so, the website is www.ncpre that is national center for research and national center for photovoltaic research and education ncpre.iitb.ac.n. So, once you go to this web page, you will find lot of information about the training programs that is happening about the research that is happening at IIT Bombay and so on. So, these are the various activities that we are doing at IIT Bombay in terms of the training and education of photovoltaics. Now, this particular course which we are planning in December, which is a 12 day course including two holidays. So, it is 10 day course and as I said it will start from 12th of December till 22nd of December and the title of the course is Solar Photovoltaics Fundamentals Technologies and Applications. As you can see from the title, this course will be kind of introductory course on solar photovoltaics which will cover not only the fundamentals basics, but also the technologies and eventually the applications of solar photovoltaics. As you can quickly see here from this, we have divided this course in two parts. So, first part is on PV technologies and fundamentals, which will be about 20 hours of lectures and the part 2 is about application of solar photovoltaics, which will take another 20 hours. Altogether, it will be one full course of 40 hours. In the first part, we will mainly talk about the fundamentals including the semiconductor physics, p-injunction, solar cell design of solar cells, materials for solar cell technology, fabrication of solar cells and modules and effect of temperature and radiations. And these are the very important kind of information that any engineer or any teacher must know about the solar cell. And in the second part, we will more talk about the applications which will include power electronics devices for solar PV applications, grid connected and off grid PV systems, charge controllers, DC to DC converter, inverters, maximum power point tracking, estimation of solar radiation at a given location and the design of the off grid and grid connected system. And we will also touch upon the life cycle costing of the PV systems. So, this will be the overall content and it will be good introductory material covering all aspects of solar photovoltaic technologies. So, this course will be taught by two faculty members, Professor B. G. Fanandis. Professor B. G. Fanandis is a professor at Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay. You can have a look at his profile and this is the email ID for his contact. And I will also be Myself Chetan Singh Solanki. So, I am from Department of Energy Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. And you can look at my profile at this particular website. So, the V2 will be covering the various aspect of the course that I have just shown you. The book for reference for this course will be this Solar Photovoltaic Fundamentals Technology and Applications published by Printize Hall of India in 2009. Second edition is coming in, will come in about couple of weeks time 2011. So, this book will be given to all the participant as a reference book. Other than this book, you will also use some other material which materials which is not part of this book. This book as well as some other material will be used as a reference material for this course and this book will be given to all participants. To conduct this course, what we will be going to do which is for example, we will include lectures, tutorials and experiments. So, lectures will be done as being done for this particular course which you are attending right now. So, we will have we will try to give the lecture designs in advance to all the participants. For example, what will be the content of a particular lecture, what you are going to learn from particular lecture, what are the problems that may you know be part of a given lecture. So, that will be given to the participants in advance. We will also design tutorials and give it to the local coordinators. So, there will be a design problems and the tutorials that will be organized locally. But most importantly as I told earlier that many times when you offer this courses the experiments part are missing. In this particular case what we are doing right now is designing a laboratory which will have about 8 to 10 experiments on solar photovoltaics. We will kind of prefabricate this laboratories at IIT Bombay and then we distribute this laboratories to the various remote centers. And therefore, the participants of this course on solar photovoltaics will actually get the opportunities to have the first hand opportunities to conduct experiments on solar photovoltaics. And I hope this will be interesting part of this course. So, as I said there will be 8 to 10 experiment that you will be able to do on this on this laboratory. So, it will the laboratory will actually consist of hardware like solar photovoltaic modules, solar cells where you can do the characterization of cells and modules. It will also have the kind of quantum efficiency characterization, maximum power point finding. But there will be also few experiments on the simulation. So, you can one can characterize or simulate a solar cell one can simulate a module and one experiment on the system analysis as such. So, let us see how it goes, but we feel that it will be interesting part of it. So, the registration for this course starts from 15th July that is the next month. And you can for the registration you can visit this website which you already done for this particular course Eklavya. So, http slash eklavya.it.itb.ac.n the list of remote centers are listed here. I can actually give this presentation send around to the existing participant. So, that you can actually have a look at it. So, there are various remote centers that will conduct this training program, teachers training program on solar photovoltaics and these are the list of remote centers. So, several NITs are there and it actually covers the whole country. So, you can see almost all states are represented here. Sandhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Gujarat. So, almost all the states are part of it. So, you can actually go and make the registration from 15 July onwards. So, thank you for your attention and the basic information on this course. And if there are any questions you have, so I am willing to answer those questions. So, some information is already available on that webpage eklavya.it.itb.ac.in. So, once you go there you will find this information about the PV course. So, if there is any questions right now please ask. College of Engineering Pune, do you have any question for Professor Solanki over to you? So, basically it is difficult to fix the criteria for eligibility, but normally faculty members from electrical engineering, physics department, electronics engineering, many times people from mechanical engineering also do the research on solar area. So, as such there is no fixed kind of criteria depending on the college and sometime the solar energy research or people work in the various department including as I said physics, mechanical, electrical, electronics, sometime chemical also. So, it is open to teachers from many branches. Hello sir, can research assistants, P.G. students, teaching assistants can register for this course? So, I guess no right now, but we will discuss internally and we will announce it on our web page, but this is mainly targeted for the teachers, but what I know that if there are enough infrastructure and if there is enough capacity at a given remote center that it does not affect for example, setting of a teacher, then I guess it may be okay for the research scholars and PhD students to attend this. So, it may depend on the kind of resources and the facilities that a remote center is having, but we must give priority to the teachers particularly. Thank you sir, over and out. K.K. Wagnashik, Professor Solanki is here. Do you have any questions to him? Over to you. Hello sir, this is Satish Suryanshi from K.K. Wagnashik. Sir, in your remote center there is no place like Nashik. Will it be available in Nashik also? So, earlier we had a workshop of the people, coordinators from remote center, but if there is an infrastructure available and if there is an interest among people around and because you are already acting as a coordinator for this course, so I guess if either if you are willing and there are people, you may be approaching us and we may allow Nashik also to be one of the remote center. Hello. So, my colleague Professor B.G. Fernandes who will be teaching you the part of the solar photovoltaic course is here with me. He would like to just say hello to you and maybe share some thoughts. Hello, good afternoon. Fernandes from the department of electrical engineering. I will be covering the aspects of power electronics, the balance of systems for electronic interfaces that are required to process a solar power either to use directly or to connected to the grid.


It is the title here on Y254 and Robert Osoro. What a big fan we are coming to the last huddle of the title. But we are not done yet. We are here for the fans and joining me for the fans is none other than Eric Agani. Eric, how are you doing my brother? I'm good, I'm good my brother. It's been quite long. Yeah, sometime. What are your highlights of the week man? My highlight of the week maybe sports wise, football wise, at least Manchester United came back to winning ways. After that shock against Aston Villa we were able to recover. But basically the most important thing I think is the work that we are doing with the community. That is what really matters and we are trying to organize a cleanup with the sports for green environment. Ah, it's a big conversation now. Yeah, sports for green environment actually we are doing it in West on 26th under the leadership of Dr. Clement Kamaru. With guys from sports for green club that is we have the likes of Victor Shinga, former footballers. We are bringing those young men together. We do something for sports under the same time for the green environment on 26th of November. You should come and join us on that Saturday. I think you saw what happened and also the CS was in Egypt talking about climate change in green and everything. So something that people should look forward to. Yes, something that we all need to embrace, a clean environment. We have tree planting. We are not only just keeping the environment clean but we want the environment to be green. Yes. And we see that this is something we need to bring in young people. And that's why we are partnering with young people in Karest. And Dr. Clement is really coming in to support such kind of initiatives to empower the young guys for future. Well, it's a big one for what is happening there with Dr. Kamaru under the green initiative. So the youths of Kare West getting there play football as well as taking care of your environment. I think that game must unveil a Manchester United. The conversation was the key difference Bruno Fernandez brings to Manchester United that is unrecognizable. I think we have those unrecognized heroes. And the Bruno Fernandez I think in that game proved to be one of those people. That in the event that he is not in a game now you can see because we could see Van de Beek did not click completely. Yes. I think in my opinion he is playing this for Manchester United. Yes. Over. Over as well. Where they run from Ajax. No, no, no. I don't know unless a miracle happens. Because you saw now in midweek when Bruno came back. Yes. And Scott came back into the team. The chances were created. There is fluidity in the team. And they were able to score four goals. And I think in that game also we have to give it to Marcus Rashford. Yes. I think he really earned his position in the England team. Because if you look at the few games or the games he has played under 10 hug. He is coming back to the Marcus Rashford of Van Gaal. You remember when he burst into the scene. Yes. He is coming back to those. Confidence. Confidence is there. Taking on defenders. Yes, taking on defenders and being able to switch from one position to another. If you realise the game he started off as a winger. Yes. To accommodate Mashal. And then he came into the middle. He is able to switch off from one wing to another. Yes. And at the same time coming in as a number nine. Yes. So I think Marcus Rashford is also doing really well. Talking about the World Cup and the England squad. Is it a squad that gives you confidence that they can get on to... I think they were in the semifinals. Yes, in the Euro. In the Euros. In the Euros. Yes. In the World Cup. Not in the semis. I think quarters. If I'm not mistaken. They didn't make sumifinals. I think... I don't know what happens with the England team. Because there's a lot of hulabalu about them before the tournament. Big talk. And this big talk, the media is all over. And you see again right now it's being rocked by selection issues. You remember what Jose Mourino said about Tami Abraham being left out. Yes. You're picking somebody who has only... Philips who has only played 56 minutes. Yes. And you're leaving Tami Abraham. And Mourino brings in another. Is it because of the skin color or something? You never know. So you see. There's that that now England team is surrounded a lot by media talk. Yes. But now I don't know if it gets into the heads of these guys. Because there's a lot of expectations when they're going into a tournament. Yes. And if you look at the depth and the talent in the team. They deserve to win. Just like Belgium. What happens? Yes. They flop. When it matters the most. When it matters the most. Because the Euro we thought they'll carry the Euro. Yes. Look at what happened in the fight. Belgium no chance. But also yes, scores are being named here. We're getting the final scores now. But it is the big names that are not going on to the world cup. The big misses. In France. Not having Golo Kante. Not having Paul Pogba. They injured Verane even though he made it on to the squad. Can they play a good world cup? I love France and it's my team that have been supporting for quite some time. And this world cup. The missing of Golo Kante and Paul Pogba. We really affect that midfield in terms of creating opportunities. And that one is a challenge. And I would like to see who the coach will bring in to replace Golo Kante. Especially Golo Kante. For Paul Pogba you can have a few other players. But Golo Kante plays a very crucial role in breaking up play in that midfield. And also in starting up moves in that midfield. So his absence in this team actually may affect France. And that's my biggest worry. But I'm glad to see look at the attack. The attack has two old men. Karim Benzema and Oliver Giroud. I'm glad to see Giroud coming back because Giroud is a proven goalscorer. It was actually one of the key players that they had in the 2018 world cup. But a big worry also for our team from Africa, Senegal. Not having Sadio Mane. Actually it's actually the same as France. Look at France. A whole midfield that was there in 2018 was not going to be in the team. Matuidi, Kante, Pogba. You look at Senegal, the team that qualified for the world cup and also won the African final. Sadio Mane injured. You have Aliyo who was the partner to Kulibali injured. The two fullbacks also not in the team. Yes Senegal was there but that one makes you worry. It's a big blow to Africa because you see most of the hopes, maybe 80% of the hopes of making it to the latter stages of the world cup is in Senegal. Because you look at those teams that have qualified. There was a lot of hope in Senegal. So missing those top players really worries. And that's where Aliyo says he's supposed to prove himself as a coach. Because if he can bring in other young people and they rise up to the occasion then he goes into history as one of the best coaches, African coaches that we've had. Because I had something on social media. Senegalis was saying that they are going to use witchcraft to make sure Sadio Mane gets fit before. That one does not work. That one I think is debatable. But it's a big miss to Africa. Because now our hopes were in Senegal. When you look at Cameroon, the way they performed in the Africa Cup of Nations with the likes of Abu Bakar, Vincent Abu Bakar also coming on to the side. And they look to be a team with confidence riding high. Since someone told to cover the president of the Cameroon Football Federation they can do something. They can do something because they also have a young school that is coming in and their preparation has been really really good. Because they have two guys who know what they are doing who have been there and done that. We have the go bat song on the other side and we have Samoleto as the president of the Federation. These guys have been there. They have performed. I think they won the Olympics with Cameroon. They've gone through those harsh conditions. Now I think one thing that Samoleto has done and that should be a wake up call maybe to a former footballer. He has taken up the reins of the Federation and also they changed the perception and made the players a little bit comfortable and increased the minimum wage and such kind of things. So their preparation has been better than the previous World Cups. And if they can concentrate, they have the capability to cause a lot of unexpected things in the World Cup and they can bring us good results. We will be following that and we will be giving everything that will happen considering that we are just eight days away to the World Cup and Group H has one clash that every African will be waiting for. That will be Ghana versus Uruguay. And Uruguay, they shocked me yesterday when they were naming their squad. Luis Suarez makes on to the squad. He was there in 2010. Edison Kavani makes on to that squad. Araujo also makes on to that squad. But for Ghana, the 2010 players like Asamoa, Gianna, Mensa, Muntari are not in the squad. When you look at the Uruguay either the legs of Militao and Ghana currently, can we have that payback to what they did to us in 2010? I don't think so because you see the Ghanaians have failed to bring in experience and if you look at the Uruguay squad they have the youthful guys coming in and then they have the experience. You cannot doubt Luis Suarez winning mentality. You cannot doubt Kavani's winning mentality. And there are those games that experience matters that have been there. We've been in this situation, losing situation but we've overcome and this is what we need to do. We need to pull together, we need to work and that's when you get experienced players coming in look at Real Madrid. They blend between youth and experience and the striking force between Benzema and this young Brazilian boy he has improved because of Benzema and I wish they could have brought in at least 2-3 people who are there in the last World Cup when that handball kicked them out. They have something to play for. But again, I wonder why now as you are talking about the big games why would the gear not to make it to the World Cup? That was my next question. What could be in Rika's mind to leave David Ahaya off the Spain national team because he's a top goalkeeper he's been Spain's number one goalkeeper and he's the best experienced goalkeeper that Spain has at the moment. I don't think there is any other goalkeeper. Not only that but if you look at his form this season he's been brilliant for Manchester United actually he saved Manchester United a lot of points but I know one thing Luis Enrique has a problem with he likes, he's just like Pep he likes a goalkeeper who can use his feet very well and that is not one of the gear strongholds and he's not Edison he's not Alisson the likes of keepers who can start the move from behind that is what Enrique likes but when you see now his reflexes and his capability to make those crucial saves and his experience even if he was not the first keeper he should have been in that squad that is what many people have actually said most of the former players are saying that you need that experience even if it's on the bench even if it's on the bench in the dressing room and what have you and if you look at the gear right now in Manchester United players in Manchester United so you need that and then I don't understand Luis Enrique conversations are here and there but I think one major one is that Spain doesn't like players who play outside of Spain but here you want to win this cup and you look at the Spanish squad it's really a young squad they are rebuilding after the likes of Iniesta the likes of Javi, the likes of Piki exiting the scene so they are rebuilding they are between 18 the likes of Javi they are between 18 and 23 so you need that 25-29 year old who has been there and done that you will be the best to answer this question well because it might be payback for Manchester not giving Enrique the job or maybe it's his personal maybe you never know I don't want to deal with any Manchester United player Sergio Busquets is in the squad I think he is now the most experienced in the Spanish side and also Ramos also did not make it on to that squad I think Ramos is basically a ninja since he moved to PSG he's not really recovered his original form well big matches coming away this afternoon Ali Kikof, there Manchester City vs Brentford Bournemouth, Everton will be in the gold rush with Liverpool playing home to Southampton with a new manager now Forest will be home to Crystal Palace Leeds will be travelling to London to play Tottenham and Western will be playing home to Leicester City Big match at 80-30 today between Newcastle and Chelsea and then we'll be finishing off the night with Wolves vs Arsenal so those matches will be coming away but we've got to talk about the improvement that the Arsenal team has had at the moment they've really done well they've exceeded expectations in my opinion actually I was trolling some of their fans earlier on in the season telling them match day 10 you'll not be on top now it's 16 and they're still in contention they're still leading the look I think the belief is coming in the belief is coming in and Ateta has brought in a team spirit and they stay injury free if the key players stay injury free especially Tomas Pate Tomas Pate calls the shots in the midfield that game made the midweek where they played and they were eliminated from the league was it a statement of intention from Ateta saying that for me I'm not concerned with the other trophies I'm in the marathon for the league if it is a statement then it's a wrong one because the league you see you have experienced coaches calling for the Premier League coaches like Pepu as the depth because you see Ateta in my opinion should have concentrated on getting a cup get a trophy this season don't live without a trophy because if you look at now the Europa League or wherever they are playing look at the teams that are dropping into the Europa League they are major major teams you look at now they may get a hash draw and then now you are dropped off and then the Premier League again you never know you have Pep here who has the depth who has the experience and who has the desire to win it again and then for Ateta if these players who are going to the World Cup if they come with injuries he's in trouble because if you look at his second team his second team can't replicate if he makes five subs then the formation changes and the electric lose that game well they are playing well at the moment and actually Asano is leading the table but Man City will be playing early and then Asano will be finishing off the day but one team that has also improved and two managers will be playing today for the first time again each other is Newcastle v. Chelsea what an improvement that Newcastle has had under Eddie Howe if you look at what Eddie Howe did at Bournemouth he brought them from down and he maintained them at the middle table and it was only because of lack of fans that Eddie Howe was not able to do well and Bournemouth were relegated at that particular moment but he's a good coach he's one of the best coaches in the Premier League that England has and he's made some good buys not very expensive but good buys remember Newcastle has a lot of cash so he didn't go for the flamboyant players he didn't go for the high ranking players he brought in players who are average and who are willing to go an extra mile and here credit has to be given to the likes of Trippia look at what he's coming and what he's done he has rallied the team behind the manager and they are playing good football they have the fighting spirit and they are not scared of whether you are big or small today they are going to cause Chelsea problems they are going to cause Chelsea problems because they have the belief and they are scoring very many goals and considering very few not only the scoring bit but also their defence they are winning 4-1 4-0, 5-1 so the goal difference is really high and you see they are on top of they are in the top 6 a big one there for Newcastle against Chelsea they have brought in some difference to Chelsea but for me they look more or less the same Tomas Tukelsaid these are two managers with two different philosophies because look at the way Brighton is playing confident guys confident guys who can knock the ball around confidently without fear Tomas Tukelsaid drilled into Chelsea that they have to be defensive pragmatic timely and to time their hands weight, sit back and attack on a counter this guy is bringing in a concept let us play free flowing football it will take him time because again Chelsea has players who are in their early 30s who are finishing their careers it is not easy to change such kind of players to start going for the ball he has to wait for the counter attack he has to wait for the 1-9 so I am sure this season Chelsea may struggle to finish in the top 4 but if he is given time and resources to bring in young players who can adapt to his philosophy Ram Potter is a very good coach look at what he did at Brighton that is his work it is a big one for Ram Potter for Chelsea that they will be against Newcastle today Tottenham Reds, Nottingham Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Southampton Bournemouth versus Everton and then the early kick of there is actually like 30 minutes from now will be Manchester City versus Brentford but big win for Leeds again Tottenham the last weekend they are Leeds winning usually for the first time away and Liverpool losing at home I think for 70 matches now they have gone without losing at home doing something good with Leeds comfortably say they will be out of the relegation no they will be out of the relegation and they have claimed some big fish starting with Liverpool Deva Kayangman who is creating half book I think Marshwater he has brought in the clinical and the finishing because that was their problem and he is tightening the defence a little bit because you look at Bersa was playing an open free flowing football and they could concede a lot but right now they are tightening they are not winning pretty they are winning 2-1, 1-0 but they are picking the points and I think the confidence is coming in and once the confidence comes into a team that team becomes very difficult to beat and Manchester United one thing I learnt from the game against Aston Villa they are key players who are making Manchester United good Anthony Verane Bruno and in the game after the Europa League win against we trusted that same team to go ahead but there are players who are still not into that level to make United be the team that is supposed to be I think first and foremost I have to give credit to the manager he has studied the ship and he has brought in some discipline you can see his identity the fighting spirit is there we have players now who are ready to fight for the manager we have players and one thing he said he said no contracts being given if you don't earn your contract go and you've seen he's putting up Magua for sale in January but again I believe I am an ardent and a strong Manchester United fan but I want to be honest I believe we are two we are three signings away from contesting for the Premier League we need a simple clinical finisher a double digit finisher Ronaldo can do it but the problem with Ronaldo is that Ajax caught up Marshal is injury prone so we need a striker we need a midfielder who can come in to replace Bruno in the event that they are not there and then we need one defender and then we will be good to go well Manchester United is also a big team that everyone follows but big manager changes Southampton without now Arsenal coming into the game and then we got other like the new coach was coming for Southampton now baptism by fire to go and play against Liverpool he's lucky because it's not Liverpool of the older years two, three seasons ago because I think Liverpool this season have become the whipping boys look at the games they've been able to draw and those that they've lost games they wouldn't have drawn but it's still a difficult game for Southampton and this is what affects Southampton look at the managerial changes in the last two, three seasons they've had so many that tends to affect the team in terms of identity because each manager comes with a different style of play but I think there is another coach we need to give credit to is the Crystal Palace coach he's something silently he's winning games silently and he's a coach who has surprised many Patrick Vieira is actually a very good coach and not many people thought that Crystal Palace could be where they are at the moment with the kind of football they are playing but I think for me Vieira started showing is a mantleness when he started that draw with Man City so winning against Man City he has a different style but I cannot let you go without talking about the Europa League draw 2011 it was Manchester United Barcelona the final of the Champions League now it is a Europa League playoff game talk about how times have changed how times have changed even before going to the Manchester Barcelona game look at the teams that are in the Europa League look at the teams that have come likes of Ajax who are serious Champions League content and that's how competitive football has become and now coming to the Manchester United it means really football has evolved and the likes in quotes I'll say the big teams and no longer the big teams because now you see the real competition among the traditional big teams is in the Europa League and not in the Champions League and that game against Manchester United and Barcelona will be an interesting because there are two coaches who have come in to study the ship in teams that have not been doing well and we'll be able to see what Shavi and on the other side will be able to come up so that we see who carries the day it will be an interesting game to watch really interesting we'll be following up and those matches that will be following up for the Europa League for the Champions League but the Champions League remember again we have Liverpool versus Real Madrid two early two early so it means one of the good teams will be kicked out I don't know how PSG I don't know how it is going to come out but it is a tough one for all the teams but it's like the Champions League has now moved to the Europa League that's where the competition is because if you look at the Champions League you'll be able to support two teams who are strong but if you go to the Europa League we have around eight teams and others didn't even make it the likes of Atletico Madrid but Atletico was knocked out so you see it will be interesting and then I think this season we are just seeing crazy things because we have a world cup that is in the middle of the season we don't know the shape in which these players will come back after the world cup look at the fatigue because this is actually also the last primarily March Day as we head on to the world cup which team will you be supporting for the world cup I'm a big lover of France but I'm looking at the Brazilian squad and I'm scared why is it not too much of a name for Brazil with those key players great players who might not perform at the world cup but blending between youth and experience they have brought in this young guy Danialves at his age but the midfield of Brazil the forward line the forward line is scary the keeping department the forward line is scary the pace of the forward line look at Rodrigo whatever he is doing I believe if they are going to play serious team work and then supplement it with individual brilliance the world cup is there they will create problems but for me I'm betting a world cup Argentina Brazil or Argentina Argentina I'm not a big fan but they also have a good squad and message in form he look at his last games few last games maybe 10 games he's really been doing well so for you France might win it I'm routing for France but I'm looking at the the Brazilian squad it's nice it's good they have an experienced coach if I ask my friend that is where we come to the end of the touchline here on Y254 thanks a lot Eric for coming through for us I'm Robert Rosoro till the next time enjoy your weekend enjoy your afternoon continue watching Y254 here on the touchline good afternoon have a lovely evening

Now basically, you drag what you want in, and then you parent it to the scroll box. Now we can duplicate them as much as we want. Select all the components inside, set the padding, you're done. You can use the mouse to scroll through, or left click drag the box manually. Now under the bar style, you'll find normal, hovered, and drag colors. If we set those to red, blue, and green, now you can see what they represent. Hope that helps, and as always, I hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll see you around.


The National Working Committee and WC of the ruling all-progressive Congress APC has reacted to the order of the Kano State High Court which affirmed the suspension of its national chairman, Dr. Abdulahi Ganduja, describing it as a nullity, unenforceable and therefore cannot be obeyed. The development came on Wednesday as Ganduja received the APC award executives from his Ganduja award in Kano State, who were at the national secretariat of the party to affirm their confidence in him. Addressing the award executives, Ganduja said those who preparedly suspended him were impostors. Ganduja, who also addressed hundreds of supporters outside the national secretariat of the party, accused the New Nigeria People's Party and NNPP-led Kano State government of being jittery over the rising electoral profile. And Ganduja, who described the development as a new destructive phenomenon, said the APC leadership would ensure that the impostors and impersonators are punished. After observing Kano State produced the highest votes for Mr. President to win the national election, now the NNPP has decided to take this measure so that they can weaken the party and ensure that our president, Ashwaju Bola Ahmed Tindubu, does not get the anticipated landslide victory from 2027. But this is a miscalculation by NNPP. Our party is solid, our party is strong, we are increasing in quantum and we assure all members of APC that NNPP is failing. We have taken the issue to the court, we have taken the issue to the security agencies and we assure you something will be done about that.
