I don't know about the rest of you, but I am one Amazon junkie. I love shopping on Amazon. My husband loves it too.  The guy came to deliver our mail, the mailman came the other day to deliver our mail and he's like, I'm here every other day when he's talking to my husband. I'm here every day delivering a package from Amazon. I'm like, I know it's bad. It's an addiction, but I love it. So I am going to show you, I think it's about nine or 10 products that recently have really impressed me that I'm really excited about having that our gadgets and beauty items and things like that. And don't forget that not only will I link all of the products that I'm talking about today in the description box, but I also have my own Amazon page and it will be in the description box not very far down from the top. And it'll just say my Amazon products page or my Amazon loves page. And then it will have a link where you can go and you can shop all of the things that I love and the things that I've been getting off of Amazon. I do a lot of clothing, jewelry, a lot of skincare and a lot of makeup I get off of there too. Some of the things aren't as good a price as you can get if you just shop direct from the actual retailers like Juvia's Place. It's a little bit more expensive, but if there's somebody that doesn't want to put in a $30 to $50 order, which is what usually Juvia's Place asks for to be able to get free shipping, this is a way to get free shipping, even if you have to pay a couple of dollars more for the actual pallets. So just something to keep in mind there and look for that link and you can shop the things that I love. So we're going to get into some really fun Amazon products that I really love right now. Okay. So when I first started to use this stuff, I felt like it was a little bit too bougie for me. And meaning that I felt like it was a bit high maintenance because it is basically just spring water. It's the Vichy, Vichy, Vichy, however you say it, it's their mineral water. And I really like this. It is in a pump, not a pump, it's in an aerosol bottle. So it just delivers a spray of mineral water. And I like having that because you're supposed to put a layer of water on your face so that you have a damp face when you're putting on your serums like hyaluronic acid. And then that serum can draw off of this water instead of drawing it out of your skin. And it just really helps your skin plump up. But I'm like, I don't think I want to keep spending. I don't, it's not very much, but I don't think I want to keep spending that because I'm going through this in about two weeks, maybe three. So in comes this little gadget right here, which I am so excited about. So this is a continuous mist sprayer. So it basically does the same thing as this. It's just that you can either use tap water, distilled water, or you can buy spring water, mineral water and use it. And it just has a continuous mist just like that. So it's really cool because now I can use whatever water is really cheap and not have to have shell out the money for this plus this isn't reusable. So something that will have to either be recycled or just get thrown away. But this you can use over and over again, which I think is so absolutely cool. So this is one of my new finds that I just think is great because I think I'm being a little bit better for the environment. So that is what I wanted to recommend to a continuous mist spray bottle and do your water in between your layers. It really does help keep your, you better hydrated, especially living if you live in a dry, deserty climate like I do here in Utah. The next things are some things that I've talked to you about before.  And you guys, I know I've mentioned this one of their time, but I think this is so cool. It comes in a bag like this with a hundred of them in there.  And I just think it is so smart. I heard about this from Marnie, Miss Gold Girl.  And sometimes when you put this on your nail or you put your polish on your nail, it doesn't show up the same color as what's in the bottle. And so I really like having these and being able to go, oh, okay, that is the color I want or that's the color I want for a topper or anything like that. So I wanted to mention that to you again, because I think this is the greatest invention for anybody that loves fingernail polish. I think it's really cool. And then this is a Ziploc bag I have. I keep all of my sheet masks in here, but I wanted to particularly show you some sheet masks that I got that were a pretty good deal. I think these all came and I've used several of them. I think that there is, oh gosh, I'm not going to guess because I think that there's 12 or 14 that come. And then you get a couple of these little exfoliating cleansing pads with it, too. But it's got all of these sheet masks in here. And I am one that has a tendency to not want to do sheet masks because they're really expensive. I'll just do it out of the jar and do the mask. But it is really handy to have a sheet mask and to just be able to put it on, take it off, throw it away and work the rest of whatever was in there. So this comes with a bunch of different kinds. There's charcoal, there's aqua, which is water. And then there's milk ones. And I'm trying to see all the ones. This one says collagen and it is pearl. And then these exfoliating ones. And there's probably others that I've already used out of here. But it's a great way to be able to try all different kinds of masks and be able to not break the bank with them, too. The next thing is this really cool, really sturdy little easel for your phone or a little holder for your phone that can go on your nightstand or on your desk or wherever you want it to go. It has on the bottom of it, it has some grip, so it's not going to slip and slide all over. And then inside of it, down here, it has grips for your phone. And you can just take your phone and forgive me, my phone's always dirty. You could just take your phone and set it in there. And what's cool about it is it also can be charged. So you have this open space right here. But you can leave it on your desktop. You can put it on your nightstand at night. And then, you know, if you want to watch a movie or something on it, you know, or watch YouTube on it, you can turn it this way. So really do like this. And I like that it's made out of metal and not a cheap plastic. Plus it's kind of a cute pink rose gold on there, too. OK, this I want to talk about because I just recently found this. And this, for me, is such a cool product. You know how sometimes you don't want to have to get an ironing board out, but you want to wear your favorite shirt or whatever. You've had to line dry it and so it has a few wrinkles in it. This stuff is so good, you guys. It acts like you've got three dryer sheets and it's just come out of the dryer. That's how cool it is. So not only is it a wrinkled wrinkle release or good grief. I'm tongue tied, but it's also an odor eliminator fabric refresher, static remover and ironing aid, which I just talked about.  And it's almost like you've just used an iron or a steamer on it. So this is one that I love. I think it's so cool to be able to do that. And this is the light fresh scent and your clothes aren't going to have a lot of fragrance to it and it dissipates very quickly. So I really do enjoy having that and not having to pull out my iron and my ironing board is a big bonus. Going along the lines of the nail polish that I just showed you in one of my videos recently, I talked about drying your nails really quickly with a product and this is it. This is called the Excuse Me Lacker drying drops ultra fast. And I got a package of two. I think it comes in four or three or one, whatever you want. But I love these things, you guys. It's so cool. It is super rapid drying on your nails. So what I normally do is I give about five minutes in between each coat because it takes forever to dry.  Whatever you have to do, you know, so I love that this comes like this. It's just a little dropper that you put on the cuticle area and you kind of let your nail go like this dropper on there and it kind of drips down. And it just dries it within seconds. I'm not kidding you. Within like 20 seconds, you've got a completely dry nail. I don't know how it does it. I don't know what is in here, but it hasn't irritated my my nails. It hasn't made them dry out or anything like that. It just makes my nail polish dry really fast. And I'm somebody that does paint their nails really often, like every maybe five days to a week. And so this stuff is really cool. So if you've been looking for something to dry your nails quickly, you just have to wait one minute after your final coat, which is for me, my top coat, one minute after your top coat. And then you just put a couple of drops on there and 20 seconds later, you have dry nails. I just think that's great. And I don't have to worry about nicking my nails or getting them messed up and having to start all over. So I really do like that. And then this right here comes as a set. OK, these little things right here are bamboo facial pads. So if you're somebody that just really loves putting on your maybe your toner or an essence or whatever with a cotton pad, you might want to think about getting this. My thing is I love having these to take off makeup with. And it's particularly my eye makeup because I've been, you know, using a lot of waterproof eye makeup lately because of my hot flashes. And I have a tendency to get the raccoon eyes or the smearing underneath my eyes, but these are so cool and so quick about taking off your makeup, your eye makeup or your waterproof makeup. And they just do the best job. So you get 16 of them. This is a little pouch that you that I just keep in my bathroom. And when I'm done using them, I just throw it in here and then I throw it into the washer. Look at that, you guys. That's just my eye makeup. So it takes it off so well. And then you can use the other side to these don't look too bad. But you can use the other side. This side is the one that takes off the most makeup. This will do a little bit of a little bit more of exfoliating, but I really wouldn't even say it's that it's not harsh at all. But what I love about it is your saving cotton pads and we don't have to throw it away and it disintegrate. We can just reuse these. So I think this is really cool. I've really been into microfiber cloths to take off my makeup and to do my cleanser, my cleansing with. And now I'm using these and then going in with my second cleanse and using that towel and taking off every little tiny bit. But this is my first defense as far as eye makeup goes, because I don't necessarily want those balms and everything that I used, the heavy balm or the oils that I use. I don't necessarily need those all over my face. So I've been really enjoying that. And I like that it's eco friendly, that you're doing something that saves the environment.  So I think these are really great. Now this little thing right here. Hopefully you guys are going to be able to see that that little thing is putting out some humidified air. I am in love with this. It is a personal humidifier. And I've talked to you guys about how dry it is where I live. This little thing has been so neat because it doesn't require hardly any space on my nightstand. On this setting, it will do intermittently. So we'll put out a continuous mist for like five seconds and then it'll stop for two seconds, something like that. So it does have that setting on it, too. But I love it. It doesn't really hold a charge for like eight hours while I'm sleeping. But for the majority of the night, I would say maybe seven hours. It's going to do that. And then all you have to do is take it. It's completely rechargeable with the USB cord. And it's just, you know, you charge it on that side. And you could use any glass you have. You have to make sure that inside there is a little wick that is in there and you have to make sure that is dunked for a while before you go ahead and use it. That way it gets the continuous mist going on. And that's one of the things that I was kind of wondering why it wasn't working for me, but now it's like this is so cool. You don't have to have any wires whatsoever. All you have to have is something like this to put it in. And that is just to me, it is so neat that it does that. So excited to have one that I can put by my bed and it's not a big bulky one. You could put this in a baby's room. You can do it, you know, anywhere in your house where you're working or anything like that, and it just gives that refreshing mist that we all need in the air to keep our skin moist and to not dry out our throats and stuff at night, which I think is so cool. So personal humidifier got a thumbs up for me and I'm excited to have it. Oh, by the way, it does tell you to use just tap water or spring water. But I buy distilled water because I don't want it to get messed up. And it said that it might not work if it was distilled water. I'm not finding that that is the case. But you can use just regular, regular old tap water if you don't want to go ahead and buy the gallon jugs of the distilled water, but it will keep it a little bit cleaner and the wick will last a little bit longer. The tube inside will last a little bit longer if you do use distilled water. So loving that little fun gadget. And then lastly, I actually don't have the cord for this right here with me where I'm filming, but this is a personal white noise maker. I am one that has tinnitus in my ears. My ears ring all the time. And so years ago, years and years ago, I learned to have a fan in my room all the time and going and a box fan can take up a big space in my room. Well, what ended up happening is all three of my kids got used to having a fan on when they were sleeping. So when we would go on vacation, we had like four box fans in our trunk. It's like taking along two big suitcases with four big box fans. So I just was like, this is cool because it has all these settings. It has like a fan noises that you can turn up and down on their speed. So there's several different fan noises and there's also different noises like water running or water dripping, which is one that I couldn't do.  So as more of a river, you know, where the water is going faster, there is like outdoor noises. I think there is a fire one where it's crackling like a campfire. And then I also think there is raining outside and a missing one. Ocean waves. So it's really cool to be able to have this. You can turn it up, you can turn it down. And you also can set a timer for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. So if you just want it just while you're going to sleep, you can do that or you can just have it on all night long. So this was really cool for me because the footprint of this is a whole lot smaller than the big box fan that me and my kids were having to haul around. So I really like it. And I think that it does come in a black and it comes in the white. I'm sure that there were other models that came in different colors.  And also a fan at times in the winter can be really cold instead of just having just something that's going to make the white noise. So, oh, you know what else was on this that I forgot to say? There is also heartbeat on this for if you have a grandchild or if you have a baby, there's there's also heartbeat noises on there. There's a muffled one that would simulate what the heartbeat sounds like in the womb. There's the muffled one. And then there's just the regular heartbeat ones. So, you know, when babies come out, they are used to that heartbeat sound. And then when you're holding them all the time, they're kind of used to the outside and what your your heartbeat sounds like on the outside. So putting that in their room can really suit them.  You hardly ever get any sleep with a new baby. So this might be a really great gift for a new mom, too. So think about that. And then lastly, I was so excited to get this because look how thin that is. Now, you would think that this is probably a tablet holder, right? It's not. It is a travel mirror. And I'm not going to blind you. I'm going to do this really quickly so you can see it's a travel mirror. And it is a sturdy mirror. It's beveled. It's really nice quality mirror, too. So you can put it on any vanity you want to. And it has three stand settings or you can just flip that back and you can use it as a handheld mirror, which is what I've been doing. And you guys, this is the coolest thing because I've been doing little smaller mirrors that are compact, compacts. And I have been finding that I wasn't like getting the whole picture of my face.  And I am like, wow, that's really cool. And I felt like for me and doing my makeup all the time and not necessarily always doing it by my vanity where I might have a mirror, this is so cool. It just works perfectly. And I would say that it's probably like I would say it's maybe like a six or seven by about nine. And so it's a pretty good size mirror. It's not a small mirror at all. And I love that it had, of course, the lavender color, but it does come in other colors that you can have. And it's got cushioning. So if you want to put it in a suitcase, it's not going to get broke at all because it's got all that cushioning around it, you know, for travel and everything like that. So I love this. I think it's just a really great idea to have. I do have my little compact one that I keep in my purse. But for putting my makeup on all the time, this one is really, really great. I think that's everything that I wanted to share in my Amazon favorites that I'm loving right now, things that I'm feeling like I can't exactly live without. I probably could live without them, but I don't have to because I got them off of Amazon and it was very expensive. So if you're new to Amazon and you don't know anything about that, Amazon Prime is a monthly service where you pay for I think it's like $15 a month and you get free two day shipping or however fast they can ship it. And you get all kinds of other perks too. They have videos that you can watch and they have a bunch of other perks. You know, you get to shop the Amazon Prime Day and there's all kinds of really good deals going on all the time. Amazon is kind of taking over the whole world at this point. But I love it because you can get that really quick gratification of being able to have something at your door quickly when you need it. Right now, while we're all kind of shut in and doing our own thing, you might want to think about it because it is really convenient way to be able to shop. So no, it's not sponsored at all by Amazon. I just really love it. I love the service. I think they're great. They're great about if things break. They're great about being able to return it very, very easily.  You can take it to a UPS store. They scan your code. They take the item. You don't have to have it in its original box or anything. And that's it. They package it up and they send it back to you. So love Amazon. And I think that most of us love watching other Amazon finds that people get. I know that I like watching these. So I hope that you're not all going stir crazy. I know that this is a hard time for everybody. And I hope that you're all staying healthy. That is the goal for all of us right now is to stay as healthy as possible. And I hope that everything is going well for each of you. I love you all very much and I will catch you all in my next video. Take care. Bye, guys.

Hello, my name is Hong Tong. I have been working for this focus international since 2000. Our organizations have found it out since 2000 in the beginning and focusing on land-right education since then. We have been doing many projects and we found that the land-right education is more important for people and become more and more because right now a lot of people don't know even the basic rights to use land-based resources and manage land-based resources even though they are corners of the resources of land. So that affects definitely their livelihood and especially their food security. So we have been working together with other partners, GIZ included, and other NGOs and development projects trying to help villages to understand their land rights with the project under the project called RISELINK. And we also applied for the fund from MRLT to do a project called LIFE project to train master trainers at the national level and then go on to train other partners staff to train to be trainers on land-right education. This is what we do with our land issue working members. I think in the future we expect to see all people in countries have understand their land rights and then be able to exercise their land rights according to the law and do some existing mechanisms that are effective right now to apply the land rights. So I come here with expectation to share our stories, to share our experience with other partners in the region and try to build network and together with them do some land-right campaign together with expectation that with villages or communities around this region have more security over their land rights. Thank you very much.


For the last 140, 145 days, I've been investing $60 into Apple every single day, no matter what the price was. Now this strategy is called dollar cost averaging, whether the price is high or if the price is low, we're going to buy $60 worth of Apple every single day. Now I keep saying that it's by far the easiest way to invest this out the stock market because you don't have to worry about anything at all. Sometimes you're going to be buying the highs, sometimes you're going to be buying the lows. Now I keep telling you guys, this is not a 100 day play. This is not a one-year play. This is a very long-term play because things do happen inside of the market. The last video I showed you guys, I was up on Apple from investing $60 every single day, but now Apple is getting sued and their price had just crashed. I'm going to show you guys how you can make thousands of dollars from plays like this, from news like this, from Apple getting sued later on in this video. So go ahead and hit the subscribe button and the thumbs up button. That's by far the easiest and free way to help a small content creator like me. So if you don't already have your brokerage account, I'm going to leave a link to Mumu down in the description. You sign up, deposit $100 and you can receive up to 15 free stocks. I'm also leaving a link down to Weeble down in the description. You sign up with that, deposit any amount of money, even a penny if you want to receive up to 15 free stocks. With those 15 free stocks, you can keep them aside to platform and decide to use it. You can sell all those free stocks and withdraw all of your money. Guys, it's literally free money. Do not miss out on that amazing opportunity. But let's go ahead and dive straight into my portfolio. And then I'm going to show you guys towards the end of this video on how we can make an amazing play from bad news like Apple getting sued, bad news in the market to a great company is always good to us investors because we could go in at a cheaper price and buy up a great company at a cheaper price. And then I'm going to do a little bit of technical analysis on them as well. But enough talking, let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Alright dreamers, here we are on my account as you guys can see over the last couple hundred days. I've got 74 shares of Apple with the average cost of $176 and I'm down 2%. The last time I showed you guys I was up, but now I'm down 2% and my market value is around $12,853. So yes, we're going to have swings in the market. You don't want to just base it off for a year. You want to base it off of three, four, five, six, seven, 10, 15 years of dollar cost averaging inside the stock market. Over the last month, Apple is down 6%. Over the last three months, Apple has been pulling back 11%. But we take a look at the year, just like dollar cost averaging, we're going to be buying some shares down here at the low at 164 every single day. We're going to be buying some at the high at 195 every single day.  And guess what guys, now Apple is starting to pull back down over the last three months. It's down 11%. So we are buying it on the way down. We're still accumulating many more shares. And with the more shares we have, the more dividends we make. So with swings like this going on inside the market, it's just going to average out dollar cost averaging. It's just going to average out over the next couple of years of our average cost price inside the stock market. And over the last five years, you guys can see Apple is up $270. So of course we always want to buy the dip when we're dollar cost averaging and continue to consistently invest inside of the stock market. So as you guys can see right there, I do have a daily buy right there on Apple, $60 every single day. Now before I get inside the technical analysis and pull up the chart, why does news like Apple getting sued and being pulled back a couple of percent in just a few days from the news of them being sued? Because when we look at good quality companies like Apple, Microsoft, Johnson and Johnson 3, when we look at good companies and then bad news come out about that company and that the market overreacts by pulling back at a sell-off when nothing fundamentally changed about the company at all. Let's say for example, Facebook, they changed their name from Facebook to Meta. The company completely crashed. You could have been in about a whole bunch of shares of Facebook underneath $100 or right around $100. Now Facebook is around $500 right now. So you could have five extra money. I remember I've been doing this for a while. I remember when Johnson and Johnson had got sued for one of their products not too long ago. When they got sued, the stock price of Johnson and Johnson has crashed. When it crashed, a smart investors went in, bought up some shares at the bottom, wrote it right back up to the top. Whenever we see a good quality company get sued over something that's not really going to change the company at all, they're just getting sued. Some things might have to change, but not really. Apple has trillions of dollars in cash on hand. So they have the most cash on hand that I could probably think of any company. So they're going to be all right. So when we see Apple pull back, I'm going to pull up the technical analysis like this. When we see Apple pull back, this is a play for smart investors to go in and make thousands of dollars. So let's go ahead and pull up the technical analysis right quick. All right, dreamers, here we are on Apple ticker symbol at APL. We're going to change this over to the four hour chart. And then we're going to also change it over to the Hikonashi Candles so that we can get rid of some of the fluff and just look at the direction of the market. So here we go. Let's go ahead and get rid of a couple of these lines. We're going to draw some support and resistance lines. And then we're going to draw out some buy levels. So here we are on Apple. Hikonashi Candles just shows the direction and the movement of the market. So it kind of get rid of some of the fluff if you're not used to investing using the regular candles. But here we go. You guys can already see that Apple was in a downtrend right here. It started in a downtrend. It's in this downtrend right here. And we've been waiting for it to break above this downtrend. It was about to break above. The news came out and it started to sell off and my bot actually gave it a sell signal. So let's get rid of that right quick so we can see it. So it actually gave it a sell signal. So Apple could continue to trend down, giving us an even better buying opportunity. Like I said, over the last three months, Apple has been trending down. That's nothing new to us because Apple has also trended down before over here. And then once it broke above this downtrend area right here, it actually shot right back up the power of dollar cost averaging. So we're just waiting for Apple to break above this trend line and also break above the EMA line, which is the yellow line right here, the 200 EMA. Once it breaks above that, we can start putting in some swing trades for Apple to go all the way back up top if you are a patient trader. And then once again, you guys can always see Apple has many support in resistance lines. Let's get rid of those. This is from a couple of years ago, a couple of months ago, and then we could draw a smooth uptrend of Apple right there. So Apple pretty much followed that trend lines that had to be a really long, strong trend line of Apple just going up and up. Once it broke that trend line, it kind of fell back, went back up, fell back, went back up, downtrend, went into uptrend, and now it's in a downtrend right here. So let's draw some support in resistance lines. And we can look at some good buying opportunities. So as you guys can see, so as you guys can see right here, Apple has a double top, almost a triple top. So it came right here to around $197, $200 range, $197, $200 range around the $197 range right here again. So it has a hard time breaking above this range right here. It has a hard time breaking above this strong resistance of $197 to $200 range. So the next time we get to this range, you could almost expect that Apple is going to have a hard time breaking through there. And once it do break there, Apple is probably going to shoot the roof. Now let's look at some support lines. Let's draw to another rectangle. We can see that there's some support around in this area. Apple comes and pulled down to $168 to $166, went down to $168, shot back up, went down to $166, shot back up, and went about down to $168, shot back up, and it looking like it's coming back down. So this could be a good support line right here. Apple has a good support line between $168, $166, $167. So if Apple pulls here, you guys could go in and buy some lump of shares, not saying that, hey, it's going to automatically go up, but it's a decent price to get in at Apple at $168. And if it do fall below this good strong support line, if Apple do fall below $166 and $165, that is amazing news for investors like me, because the next support line is all the way down here. It's probably not going to come back down here. But if it do, I'm going to be super excited. If Apple pulls all the way down to $131 to $129, let's say if I had some money and Apple pulled in right here, I'll throw in $500 on Apple. If Apple pull all the way back down here to $130, I'm going to double that. And I'm going to put in $1,000 on Apple if it pulls all the way back down here. Now another support line could be this area of support right here in the EMA at around $146, $144. We could always look at that. And then we could also look at the Fibonacci retracement, start at the bottom, go all the way up. And then if Apple pull back inside of our golden zone right here between $152 and $139, that's a good place to buy Apple as well. So that also supports the idea of being buying between $146 to $147. So once again, guys, if you want to buy Apple right here, you could buy throwing $500. If it pulls back to right here, you're throwing in $1,000. And if Apple pulls all the way back down to $130, you double that again, and we're getting in at some good shares. Because if Apple do pull back to $130, there's a company that over long term, the next 5, 10, 15 years, they will reach back to their all-time highs. They're going to reach back to their all-time highs. So we take a look at their long position. And if we buy Apple around $131, and it shoots all the way back up to its all-time high again to around $200, that is a 50% gain. A 50% gain from $131 to around $200. You guys will have a 50% gain over the next couple of years, even though the stock market only goes up around 6% to 7% every single year. Apple could have a 50% return very quickly if they beat these suing allegations. So that's it, Dreamers. Let me know what you think about this down in the comment section.  I'm showing you guys the good. I'm showing you guys the bad. And I'm also going to show you guys some good plays on Apple when I see it inside the stock market. These are one of those good plays that you needed to watch this video before the market opens on Monday. So you can have a good idea on what you, a good game plan on what you need to do inside the stock market. Because going inside and just buying up shares with no game plan. Oh, Apple pullback. Let me go buy some shares. No, you have to have a game plan. See, that's why people feel inside the stock market because you're going inside without a game plan. So if you have a game plan, let me know down in the comment section.  Are you going to put in some puts on Apple, thinking that it's going to go lower? Are you going to wait to Apple pull back so you can buy at a better price? Let me know what you're going to do down in the comment section. Don't forget to pick up your free stocks with Moomoo. That link is going to be down in the comment section. If you guys do want to follow my plays on Discord, I'm going to leave a link to Patreon down in the comment section. The Patreon is going to take you to my Discord inside there post my, I post my option trades every single week. And we also have pro day traders in there that post that option trades every single day.  Go ahead and check out the Patreon link down in the comment section. But in the net, I'm Zeke, bringing you to Dream Green Show. I'm out. Peace.


Hi, I'm Dr. Frimansson. I'm working at IR Systems, a company based in Sala, Sweden. And we are the experts on embedded systems development tools. Are you in the space? Well, some of our customer products are definitely in the space. And you have some presentations here. We have a full program of sessions all three days, so they are very popular. Great. How big is the company? How many people? It's 160 people. The headquarters is in Sala, Sweden. And we provide the best development tools for embedded systems. So if you want the best code and the best debugging possibilities, you should definitely use... Development systems? Development boards? Development tools for embedded systems. So it's like software? Well, we make the tools that customers use to develop their code for embedded systems. For example, right here we're looking at the IR... One of the main products? That's our biggest product. It's like programming software? Exactly. You use that to program your device. And we support the SD devices fully. We have superior support for all new exciting SDM32 devices. So right here we're looking at an SD-based solution right here. Hi, so who are you? My name is Hans Habinger. I'm a global FAE manager at IR. I'm really proud to work together with ST. ST is our most important partner that we have. So what is this about here? So we have our embedded board bench here. And I also have a few boards. This is our academy board. So all the trainings that we do, we use this ST device. It's a SDM32F4. Really good for teaching our customers how to use everything they can. From debugging, compilers. So our solution has a very efficient compiler. So we are well known because of the code optimizations for size, for speed. But we also have a state of the art from Debugger. So we have full control of the application while it is running. So this of course helps a lot the customers to identify bugs, tune the application, we can measure the power. So what is this and this? So what you can see, this is the ID where the customer can program the application in C and C++. Right now I'm running a debug session here. The program is written in C but we of course also support C++. And this debug session shows for example the interrupts that have been triggered. It's a timeline so the customer knows exactly what's happening in the application. And we are really proud here to work with ST. If I show you the device support that we have, it's huge. So I go to ST here and you see we support all the families, all the devices. And what I also have here, it's STM32H7. That's actually a very fancy board here with a nice display. And our new product that we are demonstrating today and be able to trust that it's designed to work alongside with the IDE for security. It's now being demonstrated with the ST board as one of the first device supporters. Is it the PSA? No, actually it's the complete flow. I can show you how it looks. So what we have here, when we talk about security, we add an extra menu. We have the provisioning, the mastering. So what we do here, we program our secure boot manager to the device. So by using the features that the device can provide, we protect it. But of course we put the secure boot manager, the certificates in the device. From that it will be protected. And the next step here is actually to master the application. So everything that will run here on this target needs to go through the secure boot manager. We also include the certificate management. So what we can do, we help the customers on the public chain from the certificates, create a profile, a secure world profile, put it into the project, integrated to the IDE and complete here directly to the target. So does that mean you're the perfect partner for developers to make projects? Definitely. For development and customers that are interested in security, we have the right solution here. Is there any customers doing that? Yes, we have a lot of customers asking about it. There is no good solution in the market. That's why we came out here. With a really good solution, everything integrated. Certificate management, provisioning, mastering of the application. So the customers can be safe, should be protected against overproduction, IP theft. So if customers are looking for that, that's the right solution. I am Emma Trost and the ST devices that have the security necessary in hardware.


Welcome everybody. Delighted to have you here. This is a real privilege to welcome Admiral Zimbalis, the First Sea Lord. I just love that title.  Doesn't that sound flat, you know, but First Sea Lord? And it's just, it's terrific to have him here. Actually my first opportunity to meet him, and I'm hungry to have the next opportunity, is a remarkable intellect who is leading at a crucial time. We were talking just very briefly. This is a period of some concern. We see, you know, the transatlantic alliance is stumbling just a bit. You know, we're not focused on it very effectively here. We've got a lot of other problems, but this foundational alliance is stumbling a little bit over here, and we know that there's been a long debate inside the UK for the last several years about leaving the EU, you know? I mean, I mentioned to the Admiral what we've found of greatest value in this partnership with the United Kingdom was the way that they could be a stabilizing and leading presence inside Europe. And that was of high value to us. So this is a time when we really need our finest minds to help us think through one of our most complex problems. And how are we going to put vitality and vigor into a relationship that's so important for us in our future? And to be able to hear Admiral Zambales this morning share his thoughts, his insights in this, is going to be a rare privilege for all of us. I know he's working through these matters on behalf of the United Kingdom, not just the Royal Navy but the United Kingdom. And he's working through these issues for all of us because we need the help now when we are so distracted with so many crises. So Admiral, you've come at a crucial time, a time of great importance for us and we look very much forward to you. You're the only guy I know that can bring out, you know, the former secretary to the Navy. I had Secretary John Warner sitting here and Chuck Bowser, he was a comrade. You know, half of the Navy when it worked over here is here today to hear you. So I'm delighted that you are here. Thank you. Would you please with your applause welcome Admiral Zambales. Well John, thank you and good morning everybody. Thank you for the great honor of addressing you. You're an internationally respected think tank, so for me to step through these very new and shiny doors to this remarkable building is a great privilege. I'm delighted to be here. I've received a very warm welcome. Indeed, a genuinely warm welcome here in Washington and I do feel amongst friends and that's always a good place to be. Friends of course, because you might say our two countries have some history together, just a little bit. Okay, it didn't start so well, but looking around I think I can say that none of you seem to hold too much of a grudge. So we don't want to dwell on it except to say that as Firstly Lord there's one matter which from time to time in which I take great pride and that's a British naval action in Chesapeake Bay in 1814. Why? You may ask because it was the inspiration for a poem written by an American who witnessed the British bombardment and I might have had to witness it from a British warship which took part in the action. And that poem 200 years old this year is called The Defense of Fort McHenry. Now better known with the addition of some rousing music as the star-spangled banner. So I think that I might be right in claiming that the British Navy has played an essential part in the development of your wonderful national anthem. Not only am I proud of that, but I've come here to claim our share of the royalties on the recording rights. So you can see the naval tradition of mercilessly pursuing prize money at every opportunity is alive and well. And by the way happy 200th anniversary on the birth of a great national anthem. Okay to be serious American independence represents one moment in our history two centuries ago. Another was last century at the time of another great strategic shift.  In a strategic shift that he identified the speech which he gave here in the US in 1946. And that speech was entitled Sinus of Peace. But because of one striking phrase he used it became known as the Iron Curtain speech. I have to say the Sinus of Peace speech doesn't sound quite the same. And those words gave an enduring name to the post war division of Europe between East and West. And he also said this and I won't try to imitate a Churchillian voice. But you can almost hear his character in the words. Neither the sure prevention of war nor the continuous rise of world organization will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English speaking peoples. This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States of America. And today that special relationship has well and truly stood the test of time. And my Prime Minister said when President Obama visited the UK in 2012 I'm proud of our essential relationship. I feel it in my bones. And when our Prime Minister made a return visit to Washington last year President Obama responded in kind by saying in good and bad times our two people stand as one. And when we look at the contemporary strategic context we see that these are not hollow words. We need only look at the events of the past decade, the Western intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. And in public debate there may now be some uncertainty expressed as to their strategic value but there is one certainty. Individually and collectively they show the willingness of us, us Brits to stand side by side with you in your journey of global strategic responsibility. Actions do speak louder than words. And talking of global responsibility elsewhere around the globe there are significant strategic shifts taking place. Differences. For instance developments in Russian interests. For instance the rise in the authority, responsibility and interests of China. Responsibilities that are complex and onerous both internally and externally. And Sino-Japanese issues too. And the overt rebalance to the Pacific by the USA. With consequences elsewhere in the post-secretary era. And what that might mean in terms of capacity and capability. And therefore the intent for the US footprint and the delivery of its ambition elsewhere in the world. I think therefore that we begin our conversation this morning with this question. Standing in front of you today and given this uncertain start to the 21st century what then is the meaning of our partnership? What is our responsibility? Our collective necessity? Our appetite? And in my answer I want to start by asking you to focus on a small island off the northwest coast of Europe. And that island carries a voice, a voice that wishes to be heard. And it carries this message. The UK is the small island with a big footprint in the world. Not used by me, but by our Prime Minister. What does he mean by that? Well it's an overt recognition of the responsibilities associated with power. According to recent figures the United Kingdom is the fastest growing economy in the G7 and has the sixth largest economy in the world. And we have the fifth largest military budget. Alongside the United States we are one of only two large members of NATO meeting the defence spending threshold of 2% of GDP. We're a P5 member of the Security Council. We are a nuclear power with a serious missile strike deterrence capability. We are building two serious aircraft carriers. We expect to play a continuing and significant role in military and diplomatic activity around the world. As far as British policy will take us. And we have economic interests which are truly global as part of our own recovery from recession. As part of our need to compete very strongly what our Prime Minister has called the global race. And as part of our desire to lead a nation through a prosperity agenda eroding our fiscal deficit and building a sound basis for the future. My point is not to bang the drum for Britain. It is not to say that Britain is great. They're just to show that we're serious. And all of those things are relevant to our partnership with the US. A partnership without equal. There is an alignment. There's a parallel course. There is significant overlap. And that is one of strategic perspectives. We share strategic objectives. Between our two nations we have often stood side by side in a policy sphere in international forums and in the military arena. And that is not just in the recent past but also in the history of the long past. And I'm sure it will remain so. So we have a journey side by side. What's my role in this? Well, my part is to articulate and lead an approach which is genuinely and sincerely part of a vehicle for strategic military partnership. And that is through the continued delivery, deployment and utility of the various, very highest quality assets we can achieve. And that means delivering capability which is credible. And when I use the word credible it has a slightly different meaning to that which is sometimes used in the US. I don't mean it in terms of accepting some kind of bare minimum which is open to all sorts of questions. Credibility is really in the military context only judged by two people. Us and a potential enemy. No one else. So I mean it in the sense of something that is a clear authority about it which is not cast in doubt. So it's about delivering capability which is credible, leading edge and therefore battle winning. In essence, it's about loading the dice in our favor. Secretary of the US, Navy, Ray Maverick has put it another way when he addressed the CSIS in February. He said, we never send our folks into a fair fight. Well, I really agree with him. Now of course we in the UK don't have the scale of the US but we believe passionately in the credibility that goes with what we've got scaled as it is for our national purse. I am for example not interested in large numbers of ineffective vessels. I'd rather have fewer very effective vessels because they're credible. Like our nuclear attack submarines, both that are tested on the Ortec range of the Bahamas under USIs and devices and which the US can see at first hand are Premier League kit. And if our ships and submarines are very effective, very credible, then that means something else. That means that they complement US military capability. Take for example our new state of the art air defense destroyers. They fit comfortably into the task group construct with the US carrier group. What does that mean? It means we have a strategic asset, the US carrier, flying the stars and stripes, which you consider to be appropriately protected by British ship flying the White Ensign. That's significant and that's already happening. And speaking about carriers, you will know that we are regenerating our carrier strike capability. Earlier this month, fortuitously on the 4th of July, Her Majesty the Queen named her new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Not after herself, but after the two Queen Elizabeths. She has reached back through the choice of the name into our own history for another powerful Queen. And all 65,000 tons of HMS Queen Elizabeth are now afloat for the next 65,000 tons coming along nicely nearby. Not a like for like replacement of the pocket size carriers she saw before, but a return to the scale, professional complexity and more importantly the ambition of the 1960s and 70s. In other words, credible carrier strike. So she is the flagship of a naval equipment program, which is generating a British maritime renaissance. And just yesterday I had the privilege of taking another close look at the F-35B, which will be a great jet. So in January this year, former Defence Secretary Gates visited the UK and he made this observation to the BBC. With the fairly substantial reductions in defence spending in Great Britain, what we're finding is that they won't have full spectrum capabilities and the ability to be a full partner as they have been in the past. Well I have, perhaps unsurprisingly, but on the basis of proof, a rather different view. I have a view of the UK's continuing commitment to maintaining a full spectrum capability. An expression used recently to describe the ambition of the navy by our own Prime Minister. It's not just about having credible military hardware, it's what you do with it that counts. That ability to be relied upon as a full partner, because credibility also comes from forward presence and having the willingness to engage. I like the way your CNO and my friend, Admiral John Greener puts it. When he addressed the CSIS back in May, he said, we have to be where it matters, when it matters, so we can influence events around the world. He's a submariner, I'm an aviator, but he's still absolutely right. But we share a common strategic purpose. It's about being forward deployed. Because that is how we protect our individual and collective international interests. Economic, diplomatic, security, which in our globalised and interconnected world have taken root well beyond our own shores. Seeds of doubt may have been sown in your minds last year with the UK Parliament's vote on Syria. But that isolated episode has not derailed UK national ambition nor its responsibility. We have not retreated to our island fortress and pulled up the drawbridge. Writing in one of our respected national newspapers only this month, the Prime Minister said, it is not just the realm that we need to defend, our national interests go far wider than that. He went on to say, many of our citizens live abroad and as an open, outward-facing nation that makes its living through trade, British interests also require open sea lanes, international stability and reliance to help deliver these essential things. And as the head of the Royal Navy, that gives me a clear, unambiguous and very welcome headmark. When he addressed the European Navy Chiefs in May, our Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, now our Foreign Secretary, said this, we must be ready to deploy, willing to project force around the globe whenever and wherever the need arises. Remarkably similar words to CNO. So the UK remains committed to being for deployed alongside the US. That's not just a military commitment, as you've just heard, it's a political commitment. And that gives us credibility, not just in the eyes of potential adversaries, but also in the eyes of our allies and friends. And that in turn gives us the authority to provide leadership to our fellow European partners, leadership in which the UK will be giving at the NATO Summit. It's hosting in September this year in Cardiff. So what does all this really amount to? It's all about the relationship of strategic partners. And that bilateral journey operating as it does from the highest levels of governmental policy alignment, through parallel perspectives on the international stage, through greater alignment at the military level as part of that joined up journey is labeled the special relationship. Now I mentioned earlier Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech and his references to the special relationship and the fraternal association as he put it between English speaking peoples. In that speech he also said this, fraternal association requires not only the growing friendship and mutual understanding between our two vast but kindred systems of society but the continuance of the intimate relations between our military advisers. The continuance of the intimate relations between our military advisers leading to common study of potential dangers, the similarity of weapons and manuals of instruction and to the interchange of offices and cadets. He even suggested in that speech that this military collaboration might well lead if and when the world calms down to important financial savings. That's pretty interesting and viewed from our contemporary perspective I think we can all agree he was a man before his time. And his remarks lead me to a final issue I want to mention in the context of continued downward pressure on defence expenditure. In an era of fiscal restraint, how do we in the US and the UK get the most from what we have in our maritime forces? The answer I would suggest lies in smart partnership between the US and the UK. And in my maritime arena, or as we often refer to it the maritime domain between the US, the US Marine Corps, the US Coast Guard, the Royal Navy which includes the Royal Marines. That is a five-point bond which is already very strong. Let me illustrate what I mean by that. Earlier this year, the Joint Chiefs of each of our nations met together in London for the second time. And we compared notes across the table. What we found was this. That the US Navy and the US Marine Corps and the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines have a genuine two-by-two relationship. And that results in us speaking as one. Comfortably, authoritatively and seamlessly we finish each other's sentences. But both the UK's last Strategic Defence and Security Review and your recent Quadrennial Defence Review have placed a renewed emphasis on the importance of allies and partners. As your review puts it, no country alone can address the globalised challenges we collectively face. So in the maritime domain, we are not complacent. We are tireless in our search to be even better together. So what do I mean by smart partnership in a maritime context? For me, it has several components. It comes from interoperability of the sort I have already mentioned. And let me illustrate the strategic importance and the practical application of this concept. A few years ago, I saw Admiral John Harvey, then Fleet Forces Command, and I said to him, I want to tire us together in the Persian Gulf so that if we have to fight side by side, we Brits don't let you down. And the best way to do that, I said, was to really and deeply understand our mutual capabilities and pursue interoperability so we simply don't get caught out with all of the consequences of military and strategic. He agreed. We took action and today our successors are continuing that complex and interrelated journey together and it's formed the basis of many other opportunities. Because smart partnership is also coming into play in the shape of global force management and information sharing. For example, sharing our engagement plans to align our outreach activities with partner nations. And it comes from complementary investment. This fast-moving area of unmanned technology offers a whole new world of possibilities for a joined-up approach. But I cannot discuss this final component without touching on the deterrent. We are not just co-contributors to NATO's defensive nuclear shield, but actually in our future SSBN program, our successor program, our future nuclear missile carrying submarines are rolling out your missile compartment ahead of you. You are allowing us to implement its technical delivery viewed through my lens. That is an extraordinary sign of confidence, of trust and of intent. Our partnership in delivering our strategic nuclear deterrent is, I think, exactly the right note in which to close. Because it helps to crystallize my wider point about the ambition of the Royal Navy, the whole of UK defence and our government, that we are alive, we are alive to our strategic responsibilities and we feel those strategic responsibilities and we are ready to deliver those strategic responsibilities, not alone, but together with our principal strategic partner. In a credible maritime partnership for the 21st century, in a partnership without equal, the United Kingdom, the United States, united together. Thank you very much. George, thank you for those remarks. I want to, if I might, begin our session here by pulling on a few strands on things that you said. With respect, despite your fine words, here's in this town the gates come in again and again that the defence cuts imposed on the British Armed Forces to meet the government's austerity program have in fact put the Royal Navy in a position where its size is no longer credible. And I would like you to comment on that if you would. Thank you, Frank. I think we need to be really honest about the journey that the Royal Navy has come on over the years. There will be one or two people in this room who are sufficiently knowledgeable about the detail to be able to see the truth in a statement that having a very large number of frigates some years ago didn't necessarily disguise the fact that many of them were not of adequate fighting capability. I certainly served on one and have spoken about this before. They were poor quality ships, led strongly doing their best. We're now in a different place. We have less ships, but the journey of technical commitment and proper design, war fighting capability is completely different. And if you take the small Northwest European nation with its rising economy and sense of responsibility which will replace its four SSBNs with a new successor class leading your common missile compartment in its journey ahead that is building two carriers of 65,000 tons each on which will be a fifth generation fighter and more that has some of the best air defense destroyers in the world that will build a replacement of the Type 23 frigate that has got four tankers on their way from South Korea to join our fleet that has replaced every aircraft in the fleet with a new type, that has replaced the mobility protection for the Royal Marines with new equipment. I don't think Frank that sounds like a small, no hope Northwest European nation in decline. And I would challenge anybody to say that given the inventory that I've just listed that really represents a step back from the past. Thank you. Let me now move to the 65,000 ton carrier. Again, this town fixated as it is on numbers and everybody, particularly the people who aren't naval architects have their own design, say that 65,000 tons isn't that just a bit too large for your purposes? I mean the smaller, the illustrious class were okay and you could have bought more of them. I think I'm playing into your previous comment but I do think it's important for you to address that if you would. I'm not sure I can really explain the math that's now got us these extraordinary vessels although I have to say when I really took a first look at Queen Elizabeth, not much surprises me any more in my life but I was surprised how big it was. She is to be precise. What we've done though I think is bought into a concept of agility at the strategic and operational level which is serious. I mean that much deck space, that much logistic support, that much command and control, that much mobility on a piece of strategic territory which we can move around is a grown up statement of intent and we now have to maximize the opportunity. We're very conscious by the way that the journey has only just begun. There's one or two commentators who quite understand why such a vessel isn't already in the Gulf. She's got a few years to go yet and a lot of work to do but that journey which I didn't really spell out has been facilitated by the further investment of the US Navy and the US Marine Corps who have given the UK their expertise in deck operations in jets at sea in engineering support to grow the capability quickly. So although we're a capable nation the nature of strategic partnership is accelerating the opportunity and that's really significant. It is I think surprising to remember for those who don't know that for carrier based support to air operations over Afghanistan there were British pilots flying those sorties from the American carrier off the Gulf. So it's a very deep relationship that has to pass the political tests of authority and legality to bind us together. So I think it's a platform of opportunity but it's also a very very clear head mark. You did say if I heard you correctly that carrier deployed on a continuous basis which implies that both carriers will be built in operation if I got it right. I didn't say that. Sorry but I think it's true. We are looking at options the government's looking at options for the utility of carriers plural and I think it likes what it sees by way of the authority and opportunity that gets from those vessels and the truth is that it's at the strategic level of leadership and judgment if you push the button that says giving a carrier in location A and it's in the middle of a refit then your authority sort of drains away down the plug hole. So in order to make sure you have availability then at least one from two is likely to be the outcome. And people in this audience would be disappointed given my background if I didn't ask you the following question so I won't disappoint. In a town which frequently sees the anti-nuclear deterrent current rise high when here is occasionally that military leaders on both sides but particularly also in London as well as in Washington really don't feel the deterrence necessary anymore that you're proceeding ahead good policy and all that but you could use that money better on conventional ships doing other missions and I just ask you to comment on that. Well deterrence of the type that we are pursuing which is absolutely the top end of the game is entirely a governmental decision. It has fallen through all Navy to have the privilege and responsibility of delivering it and so we will bend every sinew to make sure it's done as effectively and efficiently as we can but governments own those responsibilities is for us to carry them out flawlessly and that's our purpose. Right, thank you for that. Let's open it up to questions now and yes sir. Yeah, that's right. There'll be a microphone on its way to you. I'm Brian McGrath from the Hudson Center for American Sea Power. So you made a very strong pitch for a balanced fleet. That fleet has an expense. That expense has been your cruising Navy primarily you've sacrificed capacity for capability. What were the other fleet designs that were considered along the way and why were they dismissed? Thank you. I think that's a great question because it really asks what price the design we have today. I don't own that history. My predecessors in post have made some courageous and aggressive decisions and stood by them. I think the best way to tease out an answer is to reduce it through the lens of the price of carriers against further ships which is what most newspapers are interested in. The truth is this. If you can't afford carriers you may not necessarily afford more ships but if you've got the carriers you may have to afford more ships. So I think some of my predecessors were extremely wise. Thank you. Yes, sir. Microphone again over here, please. Hi, Arnaud Nagadec from John Washington University. Speaking of special relationships that started on the wrong foot it seemed that in the fall of 2010 a new French-British agreement came online. I was wondering if you could give us a bill of health of it but if you agree with the paradigm that only a close French-British naval in cooperation can amount to the sort of capacity that you've been describing ultimately and specifically speaking of interoperability could you comment on the decision as I understand it to go back to short take of vertical landing on the new aircraft carrier do you believe that it is consistent with the proposition that you need to be interoperable with the French and with the Americans? Okay, I'll just deal briefly with the type of carriers and I'll come to the strategic question you place. The choice of jets was an economic one. Simple. The cost of the rising cost the uncertain cost of electromagnetic rail launch systems for the UK was going to put an additional price on conventional takeoff and landing techniques which for the UK was going to place the whole program in jeopardy no the detail it actually would only have allowed one carrier to operate because the other one was sufficiently progressed not to be able to be retrofitted in any meaningful way so the answers emerge is the option of two from two rather than what might have been a very expensive potentially unaffordable one conventional but I think your big question is about the Lancaster House agreement the arrangements between the UK and the French you won't be surprised if I apologize to you for not centering my speech on the special relationship between the UK and France as I am in Washington but what I think it is fair to say and you'll have seen it repeated in many other fora is that behind the emphasis I've placed in public here and with confidence here is our European partnership with the French and we're proud of that and we're working towards that so please don't take any offense. Yes sir in the back. Dana Gerard at the R&T Foundation I understand that the Royal Navy has identified Galileo and GPS vulnerability as a concern and that you have a partnership with the GLA and perhaps with the French on the Eloran system could you address that sir? I'm not sure I know enough about it to give you an answer to what is quite clearly an informed questioner so forgive me for that I could talk about today I don't really know some of the strategic sort of implications of your question so I'll dodge the long term certainly today in the world we live in day to day it's utterly focused on the current methodologies which we all use in this room it is an American centred algorithm enhanced locational reference system of unparalleled value not just to somebody cruising the streets of Washington but also to our military people so we are where we are and it works very well for us I think you do have to sometimes separate yourself from the aspirations of alternative systems and realize just how expensive it's going to have to be to change so I think there's a natural lag in the truth of the utility of technology which will shape the journey ahead as far as I'm concerned it's steady as she goes Thank you there's a question here Sir Admiral Sydney Friedberg BreakingDefense.com to talk a bit about fleet design when you go away from large numbers when you do the Jackie Fisher thing and go away from large numbers of older but less capable ships it seems like there's an implicit tradeoff that you'll have less peace time presence fewer ships out there in permissive environments to do what we would call phase 0, phase 1 over here and conversely more focus on with the SSBN, with the air defense destroyer with the carrier on war fighting capability now A, have I understood that tradeoff correctly and B, how does that then fit into complementarity with the United States and with Europe as well because there's a rick deal talking to you about well countries can develop niche capabilities rather than try to replicate the whole spectrum You've completely got it and your question is incredibly helpful because it allows me to explain precisely why we are pursuing the path that we are when you have a limited number of vessels available you do have a variable in the equation which is whether to have some high end and some low end to put in simple terms but the danger with that is that when you are needed to perform a high end and therefore a strategically valuable task alongside a partner you find that your low end capability doesn't get through the gate and although you may achieve some short term footprint satisfaction you lose out on the flexibility and the authority associated with credible platforms It's interesting, it might be interesting for you to know that the classic example that's analysed in public on this one for us is whether we could have a more constabulary fleet that does such things as counter piracy of Somalia and a higher end capability elsewhere but the truth is the assets that may or may not be allocated of Somalia are also available for high end war fighting in the region if required and if of course they're not capable they're not usable then they're not valuable within the pole mill context So I think there's a journey that takes you where you have a degree of restriction to the number of platforms you can have to a simple conclusion that you aim for high end and you accept the risk that your footprint has reduced globally as you describe it That said, something has changed from 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago we no longer go around with a tanker in tow because diesel, electric, high voltage propulsion allows us to go 10,000 miles range without having to be dependent on additional support so we've got greater flexibility in longer legs than we had before we've got greater reliability so we can operate more freely around the globe and actually the platforms themselves have a degree of wider utility which is now built into them which gives us the sort of flexibilities that work everywhere from the political level through to the military level So we are harnessed I'm certainly personally harnessed the idea of credible platforms and I absolutely reject the idea of a ostensibly but not proven number of smaller platforms that might have a wider footprint Gentlemen over here Jeff Moore, Muir Analytics I was wondering if you might be able to expand upon British amphibious capabilities in its relation to strategic lift and if you might also perhaps entertain could the British today or in the near future carry out a Falklands type operation regarding that capability? So first of all on the amphibious capability we are in a process of what you might call recovery from the Afghanistan commitment the Royal Marines were utterly focused on that responsibility and spilt alongside US military and our coalition partners blood and treasure in pursuit of operational through to strategic objectives history will judge that value That journey from the dusty plains of Central Helmand to the back to sea performance with the Royal Navy is a big step for the Marines to take it's not just a big step professionally to go back into the environment of shipped objective maneuver it's also a different world for young men who've only ever known tactical engagement in Afghanistan but the numbers at sea are growing fast our platforms are big enough to take a significant number of young Marines to see and our leaders in the Marines are very clear of the responsibility of reintegration back into the maritime domain If I can just go one step further what was learnt in Afghanistan amongst many things were tactical lessons of really great importance about biometric data about knowledge of the people culture, awareness, history about being sufficiently confident in the utility of iSTAR to reach back sometimes days, weeks or months into data to grow knowledge and make the right decisions that operate effectively at the strategic through to tactical level and that knowledge needs to be flowed back into the maritime domain it needs to be picked up by a Navy that is comfortable and littoral that has amphibious shipping and that's exactly what we're doing As to your question about the Falklands well things have changed a very great deal since those days including the Argentinian capability but we know our responsibilities and we take them really seriously and that's why we have the current postures we have in support of our Afghanistan sorry, our South Atlantic responsibilities George, can I ask you to footnotes I don't know how many people in this audience are really aware of the maritime lift capability that you have in the Royal Navy for the Marines could you just remind people what's there Yes, we've been growing capability over some years based on LSDAs LSDs, LPH and now of course with the utility that's implicit in the first two years or so of their use from the Queen Elizabeth class so the UK connobs for the carriers is to try and broaden the utility base and bring in amphibious manoeuvre as part of the emerging capability I think in part that's a reflection of the fact that the jet's going to take a bit longer to arrive than we expected but in truth it is the sort of practical utility where you would have expected you get an awful lot of lift from H Chinook stuck on a sorry, HCH 47 and stuck on the deck of the Queen Elizabeth so we take this seriously and so does the government there's no suggestion of reduction in our amphibious capability and very recently we've found that we're reinforced in our senior meetings in the Ministry of Defense where we expect to see amphibious play amphibious capability to play a central part of our future for years to come Gentlemen over here and then after that Senator Warner Yes sir Sir, good morning George Nicholson I did the requirements for the CD 22 for US Special Operations Command and I remember during the Falklands one of the huge deficiencies you had was an AEW capability having to put the Sheffield out as a picket ship you quickly responded after that and you created the I think the Sea King helicopter with the Cerberus system onboard right now there was an original requirement for the B-22 for the Navy to get 48 now looking at their new AOA for a cod replacement they're looking at that program of record of 48 CSAR for looking at supporting seals and supporting cod resupply the Japanese it looks like we're going to be getting B-22s General Amos has said that the B-22 is a transformational enabling capability for the Marines are you all taking any kind of look at the CD 22 or the B-22 right now? Well, I don't actually choose my equipment to be pleased to know I have a machine that satisfies the requirement which we place upon them to identify the sort of solutions and then they're chosen by committees that make acquisition decisions but all I can say is going back to your first point which is that we do see the need and we are pursuing an appropriate AEW solution for what we are and that must include a number of options so I wouldn't like to say what those options might turn out to be I now finish that sentence with a full stop and start a new sentence in case there's any confusion between the two because yesterday I had the privilege of flying around in a B-22 for a while and I have to say is a remarkable machine full stop Please give the microphone to former Senator Warner who is an honorary KBE I don't know if you knew that George Thanks I don't quite earn a living flapping my jaws for many years I would like to ask a question about the current structure of our principal adversaries both China and Russia when I was privileged to be in the Department of the Navy that was our preoccupation all the time was watching the growth of the Soviet fleet and today, this morning we've announced further sanctions against Russia now we've all seen the uphill downhill with Russia through the years but this is a very formidable chapter in this long history and your beautiful words about our partnership are everlasting in our hearts here and we are Great Britain and the United States look to as the leaders in times of stress like this so just a commentary from you on what is China's ambition to try and put together the size of the fleet they have in mind and today's Soviet fleet and its role in the stressful strategic environment we exist Thank you sir Well first of all on China China is on a journey a complex journey as I try to describe which is not easily reduced to a single sentence of maritime authority or acquisition or aspirations for acquisition of territory that would be undeservedly simplistic and as I believe we must whether it's issues of Russia or China we need to understand really understand what we're doing, what we're thinking before decisions or actions are taken so I believe that what we're seeing with China is the reflection of its own sense of responsibility some of its externalized, some of its internalized in a very complex economic relationship with the rest of the world very complex trading relationship and indeed a big dollop of history and all of that has to be put into the mix and wise heads must always prevail to make sure that early judgments and misunderstandings are avoided so like so many things from a military leader you won't be surprised to know that I need to be led politically and I expect my leaders and they do apply themselves to complex issues and I think that really also applies to Russia with its own complex history and sense of purpose and value and place in Europe and the world with a face east and west at the same time and a sense of vulnerability about its own borders which we need to understand in order to fully reflect on what Russia is today so whatever actions are being taken at political level economic level by a multinational response to events that have occurred sensible, clear, intelligent thinking is required so we don't end up reverting by accident to some confused and difficult place which we might avoid Yes sir, go ahead I served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy when John was Secretary of the Navy and we had to reduce the Navy coming out of the Vietnam War and follow a lot of the principles that you've been saying here but I was in London in October and I had dinner with one of the old friends who was in the House of Commons at one time now in the House of Lords and it was right after the Syria vote and he was saying on the nuclear submarines the SSBN that a lot of the members didn't think the threat was there at this time so my question is do you think that the votes will be there to go forward with that program and would they do it by reducing the number and what has happened recently with the Russians in the Ukraine do you think that would change some of the thinking in the parliament on the threat Thank you sir Well, there's no doubt that those who until very recently said the world is a stable and sensible place led by, you know, a globalised materialistic need now have to reconsider very slightly the index of risk and as deterrents by definition has to be continuing and credible my favourite word then that means you take a long view on these things as you know sir and you invest accordingly to maintain a continuous capability we now have completed our hundredth patrol over 45 years without interruption and that continuous delivery is an utter reflection of the time base associated with the deterrents immoved, unmovable from the perturbations of weekly, monthly risk that we see so as I said earlier to my good friend Frank our responsibility is to make sure we do that credibly and for others to judge others to judge at the most senior levels of government the merit my clear responsibility is to ensure that nothing weakens the commitment to serious credible deterrents and I'm on record saying that needs four boats and that ain't going to change on my watch Time for one last question Yes sir Michael Ossetic, PBS Online NewsHour you express great confidence in the F-35 are you going to be able to afford the compliment that you need and want? That question is have we got enough? Yeah, okay so here's how it works you build 6.2 billion pounds worth of carriers you then don't put a tiny piece of butter on the bread you've got to do it properly and I'm absolutely certain in the delivery of credible carousel strike capability we will see a growth in commitment to F-35s to meet the maximum value the government would want to derive from the strategic assets they have bought and are paying for so there is a temptation I think to view the window of numbers through a very narrow lens but you know we've got 50 years to go on these ships so we've got a bit of time to get this right George, thank you for widening our lenses and for making certain that everybody who leaves this room understands the word credibility and please join me in thanking the first sea lord for terrific amounts


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 Digital Camera Interface Controller. It covers all features of this interface. DCMI stands for Digital Camera Interface. The DCMI interface is used to connect a parallel camera module to the STM32. The camera generates a parallel data flow together with a pixel clock signal, DCMI PIX clock, which allows the interface to capture the incoming data flow. Two optional signals, H-Sync and V-Sync, may be used to synchronize the image frame between the camera and the STM32. The DCMI also supports line and frame synchronization code in the data flow. The DCMI allows you to perform continuous grabbing. This process starts on application request and continues until the capture bit is cleared. Alternatively, snapshot mode allows you to capture a single frame upon an application request. With the crop feature, the camera interface can cut and store a rectangular portion of the received image. The camera interface has a configurable parallel data interface from 8 to 14 data lines together with a pixel clock line DCMI PIX CLK with a programmable polarity, rising falling edge configuration and a maximum DCMI PIX CLK of 80 MHz. DCMI PIX CLK and AHB clocks must respect the minimum ratio AHB PIX CLK of 2.5. So this camera interface can achieve a data transfer rate of up to 140 MB per second using an 80 MHz pixel clock and 14-bit data. It supports color or monochrome cameras using different data formats, un-coded parallel data, also known as progressive scan, which can be either monochrome or color, raw Bayer. Luminance color-coded on 8-bit 422 progressive scan, RGB 565, red-green-blue information coded on 16-bit. And some cameras also use this parallel interface to transmit compressed images in JPEG format. This is an example of a simple application used to transmit the camera image to the LCD display. The standard way to use the camera interface is to store the received data in a frame buffer in RAM. The STM32 can then process this data or transmit it further through another interface, such as USB or Ethernet. In order to limit the bus contention in the system and avoid missing data, despite the high data rate of this interface, the received data are packed in a FIFO buffer, as shown on the next slide. Depending on the interface size, 8, 10, 12, or 14 bits, two or four data items are stored in a single 32-bit word. Once a complete 32-bit word is available, it is transferred by DMA to the memory. This allows us to reduce the bus bandwidth used by the DCMI even for high-speed cases. The DCMI also has a hardware feature allowing us to select one byte out of two or one byte out of four. The feature is used to convert a color image to black and white and or the reduction of the image size. In this later case, in order to keep the form factor of the image, the DCMI may only store every other line, reducing the vertical resolution by a factor of two. An 8-level FIFO is used in order to accommodate for any DMA response latency without losing data. The camera interface allows you to capture a single frame, synchronized on after a software request or to continuously receive the data flow. In capture mode, the capture is requested by setting the capture bit in software and starts with the beginning of the next incoming frame and the DCMI clears the capture bit when the single frame has been received. Cropping is another way to reduce the image size, in addition to reducing the pixel resolution as mentioned previously. This option is valid for both single frame capture and in continuous mode, but is not supported for JPEG format. Five interrupts are generated. All interrupts are maskable by software. The global interrupt is the OR of all single interrupts. The DMA interface is active when capture mode is enabled. A DMA request is generated each time the camera interface receives a complete 32-bit data block in its FIFO. For DMA channels available to DCMI, please refer to the DMA section in the STM32H7 reference manual. Here is an overview of the status of the DCMI module in each of the low power modes. DCMI operations are not possible when the device is in stop or standby mode. This is a list of peripherals related to the DCMI module. Refer to DMA and NVIC trainings for more information about the DCMI channel and interrupt configuration and to the GPIO chapter for setting up the alternate function pins used by the DCMI. Examples of configuration and use of camera interface are available in the STM32CubeMP1 package available at www.st.com. For more details, please refer to the application note AN5020 about DCMI on STM32 devices. Thank you for watching.
