Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today we are joined by Mr. P.K. Das, Mumbai based architect activist as media likes to call him. He has been involved in redevelopment of a lot of areas where the urban poor live in Mumbai. Welcome to our show Mr. Das. Recently we have seen the resistance that has built up in Goli Bar and during the National Park Slum eviction drive as well and a lot of people are agitating against these eviction drives demolitions that are being carried out in Mumbai. So in this whole context of eviction, violence and resistance, what do you observe? Where is Mumbai going in this sense? Well, where is Mumbai going? Going is a big question. But let's first discuss about the movement of the slum dwellers in Mumbai and how significant they have been in influencing the decisions of the government for policies and programs for rehabilitation and slums redevelopment in Mumbai. You know, the movements of slum dwellers is historical in the city of Mumbai. It's a very old story where slum dwellers have continuously opposed evictions and resisted rehabilitation beyond their places of location. There has been in the recent past two significant struggles. One is, of course, the Goli Bar, as you mentioned, where Medha Patkar and some sections of the slum dwellers in Goli Bar sat on a hunger strike, demanding certain changes in the government's policies and also primarily demanded that the builder or the developer who's been designated the redevelopment project be terminated, be thrown out of the project. But before that was even a much bigger and more significant struggle, struggle of nearly about 85,000 families who reside in the Burrivili National Park, known as the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. And 85,000 families you can imagine is more than 500,000 people, which is bigger than many Indian cities. And by an order of the High Court, upon a petition filed by an environmental group, the Bombay Environmental Action Group, the courts ordered their eviction for protection of the forest and the lakes in the forest. Even though the slum dwellers didn't reside inside the forest area, they were actually in what's called the buffer zone of the forest. However, at that point our organization, the Nivarahak intervened in the matter and we opposed the evictions and we demanded rehabilitation first. What we said was we're not against the protection of the forest and the lakes, but the evictions should not be carried out unless a viable rehabilitation program has been implemented. So this was a long struggle. There were police firings, there were several arrests, there was violence that was perpetrated. And what was really shocking to us in the city of Mumbai was, I mean, we all know historically how governments have perpetrated violence. But what came out so clearly then was the kind of violence that the courts propagated. By the orders of the court, military was deployed. By the orders of the court, helicopter surveillance was installed. And there were ban orders and activists of the Nivarahak within five kilometers of radius around the national park. So that was the severity of kind of oppression that the city witnessed during those periods. Now, I think that is a larger point and I think that's something that sort of has reflections throughout the country. And in that sense is a very significant political issue for all of us, not just in the struggles for housing and democratic rights movements for housing rights, but actually as a part of a larger democratic rights movement, movements in the country. How can we challenge this organized perpetration of violence by the state and various state machinery, including the courts? So that's really a significant point. Well, after that, the struggle continued. And of course, we were victorious to a certain extent, wherein we resisted demolition prior to rehabilitation. And now world's single largest rehabilitation program project is underway in Chandivili near Poway. And for the first time, the slum dwellers have actually moved southward. That means towards the city and not away from the city. And this is an area where we're building 25,000 houses for almost 100,000 people. So that was the Sanghar. And now the rehabilitation colony is named Sangharsh Nagar, because this was born out of Sangharsh, out of the struggles of the people. That was Sangharsh Nagar, the national park slum dwellers movement and resistance. Then of course, the recent one is Goli Par. Now Goli Par brings up a few other significant issues and aspects of slum street development. One of course is the aspect of privatization of slums redevelopment, which is consistent with the larger privatization policy of the country under neoliberal globalization. It's not just privatization, it's also corporatization of slums redevelopment. Second, the government of Maharashtra has come out with a policy, which is called the 3K policy, wherein the government, the developer, does not require any consent of the slum dwellers in order to develop a slum. Usually under the slum rehabilitation policy, there is a clause, wherein a developer would have to obtain consent of over 70% of the slum dwellers' families. But under the 3K clause, that has been waived. So what we witness now in Mumbai, both by the 3K clause and even otherwise under the asset policy, is the kind of force that private developers use to win the consent of people and to take over slum's land for trading. Now this is important. Today slums occupy nearly about 9% of the city's land mass, even though they're 60% of the population in Mumbai, which is 9 million people. 9 million people occupy a mere 9% of the city's land mass. Even that is not spared. The developers under the SRA program are trading on slum's land in which what they're doing is they're providing free housing to the slum dwellers in let's say 20% of the land area or 25% of the land area. And the physically 75% of the land area has been siphoned away for commercial development, which they would sell in the open market to make profits, from which they would provide finances for the free housing for the slum dwellers. Now we have demanded that this trading on slum's land be stopped. We have opposed the SRD policy on this count. We are saying that there is no land in the city for affordable housing. The problem with India is that we do not actually have a proper urban rehabilitation policy, the acts that we have actually cater to rural India, if at all. So in terms of policies, where do you actually propose a change that in this whole context? Well, if you go back again to Mumbai's example or Maharashtra, as you know, this is one state probably where policies and programs for housing of the urban poor, not so much the housing of the urban poor, but slum's redevelopment has developed substantially. And this is because of the resistance, because of the strong movements of slum dwellers, not because the state of Maharashtra has had progressive governments. So I think this is something that we must realize across the country, that it is necessary, it is mandatory for slum dwellers to wage struggles to win rights, whether it be housing rights or civic rights or civil rights or whatever human rights and so on and so forth. But interestingly, in Maharashtra again, there has been significant policies and programs for slum's redevelopment. And this has again been possible because of active participation of the slum dwellers organizations and movements in that process. Yes. We have therefore certain policies that are presently under implementation, which is to some extent good, even though they have serious drawbacks and have inherent weaknesses. But they are a step forward in as far as the rights of housing is concerned for the poor. The Delhi government has taken up certain policies which the Mumbai government has been implementing. For example, rehabilitating people on the same land where they are being evicted from otherwise. So in comparison to Delhi, what would you say, what Delhi can take actually from? Whenever there is an eviction, whenever there is a demolition of a slum, they are invariably pushed out of the city limits as far as they can. This had happened in Mumbai too. This has continuously happened in Mumbai too. When Air Antulay was the chief minister, I remember in the 80s, there was this massive midnight scoop which he started, where he would take trucks, force the slum dwellers to get onto the trucks and take them outside the city limit and drop them. This was a joke that they played obviously. But also what we have witnessed in Mumbai is that over the years of evictions and demolitions in the city, today the city area has no slums. It has just very few slums, few dots. The city has been almost free of slums. But the areas of western suburbs and the eastern suburbs of Mumbai have flooded with slums. Large numbers of slums actually exist in these two parts of the city. And we find even in the western and eastern suburbs, it's the outer periphery is where the bigger slum population is, because they have been driven over the years through multiple demolitions to newer and newer sites further and further away from the city. So as I said, this is true across the country and it's true in Delhi too. And Delhi, it continues today that the slum dwellers are being moved out of the city limits, like into the trans-emuna area in Delhi for example. So that's not new. But the difference has been that in Mumbai, the state government has come out with this policy of in situ development under the SRA program. A slums redevelopment authority is an authority that has been established with a slum act under which slums cannot be evicted and can be developed in situ by the engagement of private developers and builders. And only those sites which are very important or critical for the city's infrastructure development or amenities could then be cleared or evicted off. So that is the policy which is in a way, in a way. As I said, there were some things good and some things much more bad. This is one of the some things good where slums cannot be evicted unless otherwise required for the city's larger interest. Coming back to the high court and how the courts have also been hand in hand with the state. What have been the other judgments which have been really problematic in this sense? There has been many significant judgments in the past on slums evictions and housing rights questions. There have been even nasty remarks by the judges in the courts. For example, I can't remember exactly whether it was during the Olga Teles case or a no, it wasn't that. It was a case later in Mumbai where the judges remarked that the slums could be evicted and resettled in the Buckingham Palace in London. These kinds of remarks are even made by the courts, even though they are not part of the orders but such comments have been made which very clearly shows the kind of upper class interest that the courts have or the judges sitting there have when it comes to the issues of the workers' rights and housing of the poor. So I think these the courts have, we in the struggles have never relied upon the courts for justice. We always see it as a stopgap arrangement or victory for a transition or just to win a little more time in the struggle before we take on to the next step in our struggle. We've never relied upon it because we've always found there is a deep nexus of interest of the ruling class and the courts and this I think must be a part of a larger democratic rights movement in the country to challenge the judiciary and to see how this class interest that is reflected by the judgments of the higher by the courts, courts are institutions and the democracy upon which we rely upon for justice, for equality and if that is vulnerable and if that has a history of not just perpetuating violence but also expressing deep upper class interest then the whole thing has to be restructured. Thank you Mr. Das for having come to our show. Thank you.


Hello, I'm Bashar Bilgeiser from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Hello, I'm Nur Mustafa Olu, grad student in bioengineering program at the University of Notre Dame. Welcome to our bio-technology and bioengineering video highlights. We would like to introduce our recent article and titled site-specific pet fragment biochallination at the consort nucleotide binding site for enhanced Ebola detection. Antibodies typically have extraordinary specificity and affinity for their antigens, which makes them very useful in a vast area of applications including detection, diagnosis, catalysis and therapy. Each antibody typically has two antigen binding fragments, also called FAB fragments, where antigen binding and the recognition takes place. The FAB fragments can be separated from the rest of the antibody without losing their antigen binding ability. Due to their smaller size and comparably easier production methods, they promise to be better candidates for use in miniaturized diagnostic devices as well as therapeutic applications. Unfortunately, commonly used modification techniques are not well suited for FAB fragment modification as they are often more delicate than intact antibodies. FAB fragments are of particular interest for sensor surface functionalization. However, because of their truncated size, they provide a smaller surface that can be used for attaching to surfaces without damaging the antigen binding site structure. Consecutively, typical conjugation methods end up impeding FAB's antigen binding activity. Here, we describe a UV photofrosting infactionalization method that we have developed in our labs. Using this method, we cite specifically biotin-related FAB fragments with an IBA biotin linker at the conserved nucleotide binding site without unfavorably impacting its antigen binding activity. In this study, we used the KZ52 antibody that recognizes Ebola GP proteins. We functionalize the KZ52 FAB fragments with an IBA biotin linker we synthesized. They were then immobilized on the lysoplate surfaces to be used in the detection of Ebola GP proteins. Nucleotide binding site located between the heavy and light chains of the antibody within the variable region of the FAB arms is a highly conserved region present in near lowland bodies. While this binding site is not widely known, it has been shown that indole-tributric acid has a moderate binding affinity to the nucleotide binding site. The site-specific binding of IBA to the antibody nucleotide binding site can be used for conjugating various peptide linkers and functionalities that contain a terminal IBA molecule to antibodies. Covalent conjugation of IBA to the antibody at the nucleotide binding site can be accomplished without reduction in antigenbionic activity by utilizing UV energy in a photocrossing reaction known as the UV and BS conjugation technique. The structure stability of FAB fragments upon UV exposure was determined with a direct ELISA assay. Antigenbionic activity of biotinulated FAB fragments was determined with an indirect ELISA assay. According to these results, there is no observable reduction in antigenbionic activity of the FAB and detectable damage to the FAB structure up to UV energies of one joule per centimeter square. The biotinulated FAB was analyzed using ELISA in two separate experiments to examine biotinulation efficiency and evaluate antigenbionic activity. The results of direct ELISA established that the photocross-linking efficiency of IBA biotin to the FAB fragment reached a maximum FAB biotinulation at one joule per centimeter square UV exposure, and the pleta was observed above this energy, suggesting that conjugation site had been saturated. The indirect ELISA result validated that almost 100% photocross-linking efficiency was reached at an UV energy of one joule per centimeter square and there was no observable reduction in antigenbionic activity up to this level of UV energy. The FAB fragment was biotinulated using increasing levels of UV energy and drawn on STS page show. The STS page show demonstrates that the light chain band of the intake KZ53 antibody matches with the light chain band from the FAB fragment at 25 kD. To show the specific location of the biotinulation on the FAB fragment, a worst-in-blood assay was performed by transferring protein to another solar's membrane and detected the biotinulated FAB fragment with HRP strapped gravity. The results of the blotted film indicate that the biotinulation of FAB fragments at the nucleotide binding site is occurring specifically at the light chain. We compared the UBNBS method with two other commonly used immobilization methods, NHS biotin and physical absorption. KZ52 FAB fragment was immobilized to 96 well-placed using all three methods. Antigen detection sensitivity was determined using increasing concentrations of ZepoGP DTM as the antigen and then an anti-ZepoGP detection antibody was added and quantified by an HRP conjugated anti-FZ antibody as a reporter. This study demonstrates successful immobilization of biotinulated Ebola-detectant FAB fragments via the UBNBS method yielding a 1031-fold bad-rentigen detection sensitivity compared to direct physical absorption and two-fold bad-rentigen detection sensitivity compared to NHS biotin functionalization methods. Consequently, the utilization of UBNBS method for the immobilization of FAB fragments in order to design antigen-recognition systems instead of incansable, provides further advantage to miniaturized and nanoscale devices. Thank you for watching this video. We hope to enjoy reading our article.

When you ask people what they think when you say Chinese medicine the responses are all over the map and they range from killing sharks for shark fin soup to acupuncture to tiger penises as longevity tonics. But I thought in this video I would share three semi-weird practices from Chinese medicine that are really effective health practices in my experience and have been for thousands of years. Hey guys I'm Dr. Alex Hein, doctor of Chinese medicine and author of the health book master the day and acupuncturist. So before we jump into this video today there are two very important links right below the video. So the first is I have a free guide which is four daily rituals that can potentially help you add years to your life with Chinese medicine. And the second is if you'd like to become a patient of my locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine there's a link to contact my private practice right below this video. Now semi-weird habit number one is Daoyin as it used to be called or Qigong. So Qigong you could literally translate as breathwork basically Chi work and I think why Qigong is so interesting and so unique to me is that Qigong fuses breathwork often with visualization or intention and physical movements. And from a practical just a very plain English perspective the value of Qigong is that it not only integrates meditation and physical exercise. And so for people today who are both inactive and stressed you know we're both not physically moving and the nervous system is going crazy because we're doing lots of intellectual or skilled work on computers or on our devices all the time. And Qigong has the unique benefit of fusing meditation so down regulating calming the nervous system and physical exercise which means circulation. And on top of that it's something that is very low impact. So whether you are a current cancer patient and you can do Qigong as many hours a day as your physical body will let you or five minutes a day you can do it if you're young or if you're older and it's not going to hurt your joints. Like some of the patients I have that are really chronic exercisers they often will have joint issues and if it's really extreme they'll be needing joint replacements by middle age or their 60s or their 70s. So Qigong is very very unique because there is the aspect of breathing which is one of the fastest ways to change your physiology change your state pronto whether it's stress or it's an emotion or something else. And it's also because it's physical exercise circulation is one of the keys to longevity no matter which way you cut the cake. The second habit I'm going to say is understanding the flavor and nature of herbs and foods. So you have to imagine Chinese medicine predates chemistry by thousands of years. So how could these ancient people be treating the same illnesses as today and not have chemistry? It's not based on biochemistry at all. How could they figure out how to use what herbs for what conditions? Well one of the most ancient ways of assessing chemistry is what's called flavor and nature. The flavor of the herb is typically based on sweet sour bitter salty etc and the nature of the herb is usually what we could say is maybe the temperature. So the ancient word for it is the chi of it but it's really the temperature. So the temperature just means is it more cooling or is it more warming? Is it a very warm hot herb or is it a very cold herb? And what these indicate is their functions in the body. They indicate physiologically what they do. So for example if you give someone who has a low appetite a very cooling herb they will probably have an even lower appetite and if you give them a cold herb from our perspective and they already have loose stools you're going to give them diarrhea probably explosive diarrhea. But if you give them a warming herb like ginger what you're going to see is those bowel movements the stools will actually solidify the appetite will improve and come back and it will increase metabolism. So these are very very important to understand physiologically because of how they work biochemically but these predate chemistry by thousands of years but this was an ancient way that people could figure out the functions of herbs in addition to other factors without being able to measure them in a lab. So let's take ginger the flavor is spicy the nature is warming and if we compare that to another herb huangchen scudillaria the flavor is bitter and the nature is cooling or cold. So for example we often use ginger in the above example I just gave lower appetite, bloating, looser bowel movements, person's colder looks more pale that will increase their appetite and regulate the bowel movements and bloating.  And vice versa if you give someone a symptom or a syndrome that we consider has too much heat you give them a lot of ginger they're going to be sweating they're going to be agitated and uncomfortable and they may get more constipated. So the way we use herbs is not only based on their kind of signature function or what they have historically been shown to do but also is based on the flavor nature and not on the biochemistry. The third most interesting or unique aspect of Chinese medicine is using Chinese herbal formulas as well as food grade medicine.  And I think it's so incredible how sophisticated Chinese herbalism is where we have formulas that range from two ingredients to 50 and all of those herbs are in there deliberately for a specific purpose some to offset the side effects of other herbs some to guide the effect of the formula to a specific location of the body some to accentuate the function of an herb. I mean the level of sophistication is incredible it is off the charts this must be 5 000 plus years of medical knowledge that is still continued to this day and a smaller derivative of these Chinese formulas is just food grade medicine you know using cooking spices in every indigenous traditional culture on the world is food as medicine right you can measure the effect of turmeric or ginger or garlic or onions on the body on the circulation on the digestion that's measurable and there's probably a lot of studies here today based on those traditional food stuff that we just call spices and to a certain extent it's the dosage of those that makes the difference putting 500 milligrams of ginger some ginger powder in a meal is different from consuming 24 grams in one sitting for acute indigestion and acid reflux right it's going to have a very different effect on the body but what's so interesting about traditional cultures including the Chinese culture is mixing traditional medicines in a food grade dose so one of the herbs for example shanyao is just yams and you can use it as a food grade medicine or as a medical grade medicine you know shanyao works to strengthen the spleen pancreas and helps with the digestion you can use it when there's chronically loose stools it's food grade you can use it for children or you can use it at 12 grams 30 grams 60 grams as a medical grade intervention it also depends where you harvest it and what it's used you know how it's prepared but this idea of you know putting some goji berries in your morning kanji or adding those to a smoothie is practicing food grade medicine where you're gently nudging your body in the right direction but not intervening strong enough where there's really active pathology and it goes the other way too you know it goes the pathological side of this is this very new agee idea of just the multivitamin theory right if six goji berries is good then 500 must be even better because it's a super food and it doesn't work like that because for so many people with weak digestion goji hard to digest is just going to create a lot of bloating a lot of what chinese medicine considers dampness and probably most realistically what one of my mentors had said is a very expensive bowel movement you throw all these tonic tonifying herbs into your smoothie you're probably not going to live longer just doing that it's just going to be a very very expensive bowel movement so it goes both ways using medicinal formulas when there's active pathology or food grade medicine sometimes is even those same formulas but just a gram a day instead of nine or 20 grams a day i think these three practices are very interesting and very unique to chinese medicine and the chinese culture but also there are aspects of these throughout the entire world like using spices in your cooking so that's what i have for you today guys again two other related videos for you right there that can help you and i'll catch you in the next video


Army scientists and engineers recently made a discovery. An aluminum nanomaterial of their design produces high amounts of energy when it comes in contact with water or any liquid containing water. During routine materials experimentation at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, a team of researchers observed a bubbling reaction when adding water to a material they produced. We all, as a team, we were very excited, ecstatic that something good has come out. We knew that. The team further investigated and found that water, two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen, splits apart when coming into contact with their unique aluminum nanomaterial. That hydrogen that's given off can be used for a fuel in combination with a fuel cell. Scientists have known for a long time that hydrogen can be produced by adding a catalyst to aluminum. Like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or some acid. You know, because it does not. A catalyst is a substance that increases a chemical reaction rate. We just take our material, put it in the water and the water splits down into hydrogen and oxygen. This is one gram of aluminum alloy powder. The team demonstrated a small radio-controlled tank powered by the powder and water reaction. Moments after mixing the powder with a small amount of water, a bubbling reaction produced a great deal of hydrogen which was then used to power the toy around the laboratory. Our powder in combination with the fuel cell is a very good closed loop. We need water for our reaction and the fuel cell gives off water, so it's closing the loop of the fuel cell power generation cycle. Since the nanomaterial powder has the potential to be 3D printed, researchers envision future air and ground robots that can feed off their very structures and self-destruct after mission accomplishment. There are other researchers that have been searching their whole lives and their optimized product takes many, many hours to say achieve 50% efficiency. Ours does it to 100% efficiency in less than 3 minutes. The research team said the laboratory is all about giving soldiers the advantage. We all feel pretty good that this can contribute to a new kind of research, a new kind of way to generate power on demand, at ease and at will. The next step is to document the discovery with scholarly papers and intellectual property protections and coordinate further applications with scientists and engineers across the laboratory. For ARL TV, I'm David McNally.

Okay, we all negotiate in some point in our lives. It might be at home, as a parent, you negotiate with your children to get their homework done. Or at work, we might be negotiating with our team members. Today, I'll be discussing 12 important business negotiation skills. The first one to look for the definition of negotiation. Negotiation is a strategic discussion that reserve an issue in a way that both parties feel acceptable. In a negotiation, each party tries to persuade the other to agree with each other's own point of view. By negotiating, all involved parties try to avoid arguing, but agree to use some form of compromise. So types of negotiation. Most negotiation outcomes will fall into two categories, win-win or win-lose. By understanding the different types of negotiation, you can determine the most relevant skill for your role and work. Disability and integrative negotiation are the most common types of negotiation. So what is distributive negotiation? This distributive negotiation is also called distributive bargaining. Both sides try to gain control of a limited amount of resources. This is considered a win-lose negotiation. One side's gain equals the other side's loss. So that's the definition of distributive negotiation. So integrative negotiation is often referred to as a win-win negotiation. It occurs when everybody benefits from the agreement. There is usually more than one issue to be negotiated. So there are opportunities for trade-off. So to reach an agreement, each side receives value. So those are the types of negotiations. So what are negotiation skills? Negotiation skills are qualities that allows two or more sides to reach a compromise. They are often soft skills, such as communication, persuasion, planning, and cooperating. Understanding these skills are the first steps to becoming a stronger negotiator. Communication. Communication skills include identifying non-verbal cues and verbal skills to express yourself in an engaging way. Skills negotiators can change their communication style to meet the listener's needs. So the next one is active listening. Active listening skills are crucial to understanding another opinion in negotiation. Unlike passive listening, which is the act of hearing a speaker without retaining their message, active listening ensures that you're able to engage and literally call specific details without needing information. So the next skill is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability to control your own emotion and recognize others feeling. Being conscious of the emotional dynamics during negotiation can allow you to remain calm and focus on the core issues. So the next skill to have is expectation management. Just as you enter a negotiation with a clear goal, the other side is also likely to have its own defined expectation. If you believe you might not be able to agree to each other's theme, you could just try adjusting your own expectation. So the next skill to have is patience. So negotiating can take a long time to complete, occasionally involving renegotiation and counteroff, rather than seeking a quick conclusion. Negotiators often practice to properly assess a situation and reach the best conclusion for their clients. So the next skills to have is adaptability. Adaptability is a vital skill for a successful negotiation. Each negotiation is unique and the situation within a single-line negotiation may change from one day to the next. For example, an involved party may change their demands. So how do you adapt? So the next skill is persuasion. The ability to influence others is an important skill in negotiation. It can help you define why your proposed solution is beneficial to all parties and encourage others to support your own, your point of view. So we also have planning. Negotiation requires planning to help you determine what you want. The ability to prepare, plan, and think ahead is crucial to a successful negotiation. Planning skills are necessary not only for the negotiation process, but also for deciding how the terms will be carried out. Then integrity. Integrity or having strong ethical and moral principle is an essential skill for negotiation. Being thoughtful, respectful, and honest allow the other side to trust what you say. As a negotiator, you should be able to, you should be able to on commencement. Reports building. The ability to build rapport enables you to establish relationship with others. Why both sides feel supported and understood? Building a rapport requires you to effectively communicate your goals, but also understand the other side's wants and need. Then problem solving. Negotiation requires the ability to see the problem and find a solution. For example, if a price is too high, how do you lower it? How is it lowered? If a resource is shut, what can be done to increase it? So these are skills, problem solving skills. Then the next one is decision making. Good negotiators can act decisively during a conversation. It is necessary to agree to a compromise during a bargaining arrangement. You need to be able to react decisively. Keep in mind that your decision may have a lasting effect on yourself and your company. So how do you prepare for a negotiation? There are different steps in which you can prepare. First, you do your research. You evaluate all sides and consider your goals. You do a research on the person you are negotiating with. You also understand the limitation of your negotiator. Also know your priorities. This will mean what is important and what you are willing to set to form. So these are the top 12 skills. The top 12 business negotiating skills a negotiator should possess. Thanks for listening. Let's go to the end of my picture-chart presentation.

Okay, the next item on the agenda is the possibility of a salary increase. As you all know, we've had a couple of salary cuts over the last few years during the economic downturn. But now the business is picking up. I wonder if there's any space for a salary increase? Do you mean how much increase would be feasible? Yes, that's what I meant. Could Jan please refresh our memory of how many reductions we've had in the past few years? Let me see. There was a salary reduction of around 2.5% last year and one of 3% the year before that. Was that for staff at all levels? Could you be more specific please? Yes. In the first year, all staff had a 3% reduction in salary. Senior staff had a similar cut in the second year whereas junior staff had salary cuts by only 2.5%. Do you know if staff are expecting any further changes in salary? I think they are. Upward or downward, could you clarify? I think staff are expecting a raise. That is a salary increase. They've heard about salary increases in other companies and so are expecting the same here.


Life is like tennis. Those who serve well seldomly lose.  You have opportunity to love, love. You have opportunity to give, give. You have opportunity to forgive, forgive. If there is an evangelism happening, you better be there. Why? Because the best way to get out of hellish situation is through serving, not crying, not complaining, not self-pity, not me, not selfishness, but serving. Somebody say, amen. If you're writing notes, I want you to write this down. The gifts of the Holy Spirit comes from three things. Desperation, impartation, and association. But they are released through only one thing, service. We thank you, God, as disciples. They shook their world. They flipped their cities upside down. I thank you, God, that this is our time. We were born for this hour. And Lord, Lord, we don't have what they had, but we have you. I have been back in almost three years. Now, on the first pray, I am afraid that God will kill me. And instantly, God will be on the first pray. So, I am here. And I am completely here. How many years behind that? Three years, almost three years. Yeah, I haven't been here. So, now, I have a piece, so, I prefer this year. I had a fever for last week. And I feel pain in my chest, and I'm breathing. It's not coronavirus, no? I see your mask over there, so I'm just wondering. How are you feeling now? And after the prayer, I feel it feels like that. Oh, really? There's not any pain in my chest. Okay. In Jesus' name, God bless you. Amen. Go walking if you want. I was recently, two days ago, I was recently diagnosed with nerve compression and a certain level of my spine. So, my doctor said I should avoid lifting heavy weights. And whenever I walk, I sometimes experience running my left foot, and even hard to lift my left hand or arm. So, yeah. What happened today? Today, I experienced pain in Jesus' name. What happened to you? Last year, I experienced gunshot. Gunshot? Gunshot. You got shot? I imagine. Why? I mean, robbery. Oh, I'm so sorry, man. Then, I have my operation, the CTT, the cyclone, the blood of my lungs. But, it's only when I come back to my doctor, he said that there is a scar in your lungs, and he said, there's nothing we can do about it. So, I felt the pain every time I breathe. I did breathe. There's something in my lungs, but right now, I breathe normally. I'm crazy.
