Live from New York, it's theCUBE covering Big Data NYC 2015. Brought to you by Hortonworks, IBM, EMC, and Pivotal. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are live in New York City, here at Strada Hadoop, our event, Big Data NYC in conjunction with Strada Hadoop. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellantes, theCUBE, our flagship program. When we go out to the events and extract the signal and noise, this is day three of three days of wall-to-wall live interviews, doing videos every day, having a big event last night. There's been a new research day three coverage live in New York City. Again, one block from the Javits Center, this is our new location, our studio, got the streets behind us. Here with Dave Vellantes, kicking off day three with our special analyst segment here on theCUBE, a CUBE alumni, Merv Adrian, the chief analyst at Big Data at Gartner. I added chief, boss, man, bad-ass, all great stuff. Just one of the troops, just one of the troops. Great to see you. Welcome back, Dave, great to see you again today. Guys, so kicking off day three, love to do the editorial around table, around analyzing the horses on the track, analyzing the data, because this is a big data show, and there's a lot of data. So, Merv, I want to get with you last night, we were talking at the event about some of the data. You have survey data, multiple surveys.  You do meetings all the time. I do. And you're back to back to back. So, couple things, vibe of the show, who you're talking to in terms of company, size, and what are some of the things on people's minds that they're asking about, one of the things that they're pushing and peddling, and two, then we'll get into the survey data. So, sitting where we sit, I should quote the old Saturday and I think you'll ask a lot of questions for somebody not far from New Jersey, but. Yeah, so, it's a big show, and it's astonishing how it continues to get big. And there's this new piece of Javits, Javits North, which is kind of an odd construction. It's this giant, like, empty hanger where they're holding the keynotes. It's a little odd, but the crowd is, I think, trending as it has in the last couple years to a much more business-focused audience. There's a lot of technical content here, but there's an awful lot of business people. So, there are a couple of trends, I think, that go along with that. Business people don't really want to find out whether this is version 0.1.4 or 0.1.5 of this project that's part of the stack, that's part of the project, that's part of the overall architecture. They want to know what you can do for me and how easy is it going to be. So, for me, one of the more interesting trends here has been the number of vendors. I'm not going to name them because I'd leave a couple out and I don't want to do that to disadvantage some over others, but there's several vendors here whose entire reason for being, and entire reason for being at this show is we make deploying Hadoop and Spark easier. And the reason is because it's still really hard. You mentioned data, here's one. We've been asking for several years from the Gartner Research Circle, what's the biggest barrier to adoption, and I told you several years ago for the first time, skills was number one. All the vendors have been investing very aggressively in attempting to solve that problem. They're doing training, they're doing certification. Even the guys at O'Reilly are working with, I guess data breaks to do SparkCert here. But in three years, the number hasn't gone down. It dipped a little bit last year, came right back up this year. Skills is still the number one problem. So we see vendors now who are coming into the market saying we can make this easier for you. But you also, I saw a tweet on the first day you had mentioned and we'll get into the survey days. I want to ask that specifically. Sure. Is that the POCs are certainly on the rise. There's been some growth. So it's the classic hockey stick where's the inflection point. But then you made a comment that the production deploys are not massively growing. So let's unpack that. Let's dig into the numbers. But before we go there, so does that suggest that the complexity of the ecosystem is increasing faster than customers' ability to deal with it? Yes, I would say so. The complexification of the Hadoop stack is not diminishing. I've been tracking, you guys have seen it, the number of projects in the stacks supported by the distro vendors year on year. And it's not slowing down. We've got more new projects that mostly are not even supported yet this year to talk about that we had last year. Everybody's running around talking about Flink and Apex and Gora and you know. There's so many numbers and names you don't even know yet. We won't even, we don't. But yes. So they're filling the holes in the white space. Same time, the demand on the market side is interesting. So like we're kind of getting a feeling kind of a surround sound buzz, like okay, we can't move fast enough in the ecosystem to plug in functionality when the demand from the customer base is I want product now. So there's almost like a supply problem. Well, there's an impedance mismatch here. You've got an audience that's increasingly focused on solutions, not technology. But the technology is different already this year than it was last year. And so the people who have to deliver it haven't even got their story together. And the skills of the people who have to deliver it are not yet in place. So these things are colliding- There's operational issues on operationalizing something. I think that slows the market a little bit. But again, if you begin with, I said this last night on the panel, if you begin with a focus on what solution you're trying to deliver, not which technology you're going to build it with, you can get where you need to go. That doesn't mean it's easy. And part of the problem with the skills thing I mentioned is you get people trained in 2014. Those skills are useless this year. There's three new things that are going to have to be in this stack that they weren't trained on. Anyway, let's talk this first. Yeah, let's get into the data. So a little preamble. Gartner has this thing called the research circle. It's a sizable panel. It is thousands of companies that have volunteered to be interviewed on a regular basis about a variety of technologies. It's representative across verticals. It's representative across geographies. And it's representative across company sizes as a panel. Any individual survey, we get some subset of those people responding. So they may vary a little bit one-to-one, but we're very careful about what can we say and what can't we say based on statistical significance. Okay, that's the preamble. There are two surveys that are relevant here. We do one on big data. And starting this year, we did one on Hadoop. They are two distinct surveys. So this is where the numbers get interesting. I'm going to refer to a piece of paper here. I apologize, just so I get this exactly right. Bring the data, bring the signal. All right, so the big data investment is continuing to rise. And it is now up to 76% of organizations investing already or planning to invest in big data. That's a great number. A lot of people have been talking about the number that came out of the Hadoop survey, which said 42%. That's because not everybody thinks Hadoop equals big data. And they're right. Gartner has always said they're not the same thing. In fact, when you ask people what technology do you want to use for big data, the number one answer, and it has been for three years, is enterprise data warehouse. The number two answer is cloud. The number three answer is Hadoop. And that's about 40%. Now that's kind of interesting. Here's another one. This year we added a new item to the stack that they could select from. That item said spark slash flink, because we're not quite sure, although it certainly looks like Spark has the lead. Only 9% of people even knew what we were talking about and picked it. So it's still early days in the technology stack. The solution question, the problem statement of big data, is well ahead of the technology selection statement, which is Hadoop. So that hopefully unpacks the numbers a little bit. Yeah, so that's interesting, data on Spark. Like I said, this is survey week. Well, you saw the Databricks came up with the survey and it's Spark going to take over the world. Of course it is. The diseases company came up with the survey said exact opposite.  You don't have a dog in the hunt other than you want to help practitioners. So, but what do you make of all the Spark buzz? People talking about Spark simplifying things, but people say, Spark's still really complicated. You got to know Python. I mean, is it just like a little bit moving the needle or is it more major in your opinion? Well, I think you can get some insight from that Spark survey by asking people what language they were using. Because that's one of the more interesting facts in their survey, the number one and number two languages for that were Scala and Python.  Go to one of their conferences and they'll tell you that Spark is the best thing on earth. So it depends on who you're asking. Our surveys are of executives who wouldn't know Scala from Python if you put the code in front of them. So it's not the same people asking and answering the question. Spark is clearly a superior technology to MapReduce for a very large subset of the things you want to do. MapReduce is fundamentally batch and Spark is not. In fact, the biggest pivot here, in my view, if you're looking for the headlines of the show, is we are pivoting the entire Hadoop community's focus from data at rest downstream after stuff is done to data in motion. Let's work on it while it's flowing by. Everybody's talking about ingest, everybody's talking about streaming. The projects we're talking about, the products we're talking about are increasingly trying to answer the question while things are happening rather than afterwards. We think that parallels a development that we've been tracking in the DBMS market that we call hybrid transaction analytic processing. We talked about that yesterday at HDAP. So everybody's trying to go after this same question. How do I move upstream and do things when it makes a difference rather than describing it after it happened? And depends on which market you start from, how you describe that problem. That's not a database issue too. We had a quote on the queue that said, not all data will hit a database to your point of data in motion streaming. You got flow theory, you have all kinds of real-time stuff where machine learning and some of the systems intelligence stuff that we've been covering kind of points to the cognitive for an IBM term, but this notion of letting machines do more than the human can actually handle. So this comes back down to the human machine. Well, the cognitive thing is fun. Is it going to be Watson, Cortana, Siri?  And if that pivot would turn- Siri? I mean, right now. I mean, Siri is a touch point for Apple users. I mean, that's an interface. Well, I would encourage anybody who's listening to this to go Google or Bing or whatever. Cortana, Siri, Arsenio, because there's a wonderful dialogue between the two of them that Arsenio staged that's hilarious. So that pivot is interesting. You know, they're talking about ingest and dealing with the data in real time. It also suggests as well that there's another process that companies have to invest in. I wonder if you could comment on this, that just make it better. Your fraud example is great, right? You're flying across. You do something, a transaction on the plane. The next day you get a fraud alert. It says, did you do something in a fast food, you know, location? I was like, okay. I bought a sandwich on the airplane. Let me think about that. Exactly. And so there's got to be a process at the back end that sort of improves whatever that is, machine learning and skill sets, et cetera. What happens when technology goes wrong? It's a big question. The adaptivity of these things is dependent on whether they're working from a set of fixed rules that we based on a predictive data mining algorithm we ran a year ago. Whether they're operating on real time data that adapts to real time conditions, that's the problem we have to solve. The processing is also hard. If you've got a huge amount of data coming through, say, in real time, and let's say a Facebook or a large scale or any transactional system, whether it's from different databases or not, it's irrelevant, you might miss something. So the math has to be really on the money. And databases aren't enough. Things don't get into the databases until we're done. Right? So we need both the database and the stream. So you get, the word hybrid gets used for a lot of things, so I won't use it here. You get a fabric of compute, a fabric of engines and a fabric of stores. And in fact, arguably, one of the other big themes of this event is the story at Strata. Yeah, I like that one. We've got, we've got. Roll my eyes on that one. You can roll your eyes if you want. Hey, I'm not a headline writer, but I play one on television. Well, the story, come on, the storage has been there out there on the TV. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, you've got Cloudera introducing an entirely new store called Kudu, okay? What's interesting about this? They're doing what DBMS vendors did years ago. Anybody who knows DBMS knows that they don't store their stuff in the file system. They bypass the file system and they write the storage themselves. In the Hadoop community, there's been an article of faith that if there's anything that defines what Hadoop is, it's MapReduce, well, maybe not. We're off to Spark already. And HDFS, and maybe not. Maybe we're going to bypass that because it has its limitations. Now the folks at Hortonworks will tell you they're working very aggressively on the next gen of HDFS, which will address some of its limitations. But Cloudera's opted to bypass it entirely. Maybe we keep the APIs so everything else works. MapR is pushing on there. MapRDB, which is essentially a variant of HBase. And they've added JSON to it now so it's more of a multi-model. The store is really interesting. Amazon? Yeah, Amazon's got S3. And oh, by the way, we should talk about numbers there in a minute. But the point is that different stores and different engines are going to proliferate across the fabric because they all have their uses. So it's not going to be monolithic. And the environment is going to increasingly get chaotic. There's lots of moving parts. And at this stage of the developing market, vendors who are playing here see an opportunity for differentiation by picking one highly valuable use case and say, we've optimized for that one. If you need to do this, come to me. We're back to engineered systems. I want to go, this is kind of like the whole monolithic purpose-built stack. But you mentioned something earlier. I want to drill down on it real quick because we had an awful lot of time. But you said the problem statement is far ahead of the technology stack slash technology, which would kind of say, okay. Not quite what I said. The technology is moving at a different rate than the problem statements are. Many problem statements can be solved with today's technology. Some can't be solved until we get tomorrow's technology. And it's hard to tell the difference. All right, well, I'll just say, I'll just say, matter of fact, customers want the solutions, right? And so there's this mix and match. So the question I have for you is, we've been covering this territory for you since it started, President at Creation. We had a headline yesterday in SiliconANGLE. It's whale season. All the big guys are in, IBM, EMC, Cisco, HP, everyone's in here, right? So how does an ecosystem, how does a cloud era, they're worth $4 billion on paper. How do they break out? If the technology is moving in as really fast, and now storage it could do for cloud area, you got this, polluting in here. Can't the big guys just co-op this whole thing? I mean, this is, how do the companies grow to be billion dollar companies? We're at Rich Get Richer. We've seen this movie before. Last time in this space, we saw it was the analytic DBMSs. You remember that, Vertica, Nathisa, Astor, Green Plum. There was a period where they were all still there and 18 months later they were all somewhere else, right? Does that happen this time? I think there's a fundamental difference in the market from that period. Every one of them had a protected IP stack that was different. Most of these guys have IP stacks that are mostly the same, and it's open source. So what does that do to the valuation equation for people who do M&A at the big vendors or at the venture capitalists who are occupying them? It makes it go poof. AccuHires. You buy customer lists, you buy organizations, support organizations and sales organizations. Those are the things that are valuable. How sustainable is the technology? Is it well engineered? Those are all very serious questions. They take a very different kind of due diligence than I think used to be done when it was a protected IP stack. And all we have to do is see if the customers were basically happy. And that's oversimplifying. But I think the model will be different this time. Is there a shout out from AWS on this ecosystem? I'm glad you asked that question. So let's cloudify this a little bit. Or Azure. Yeah, well we- Go Google. We've all been tracking this market for several years and we all sort of had this bubble over in the corner that we didn't talk about too much called the cloud because all the numbers were invisible. Everything was very opaque. Amazon didn't report any number except a single one for several years on its entire revenue. Gartner has arrived at some estimates that we use internally in the hundreds of millions of dollars for Hadoop. For all we know, Amazon's making more money on this than all the independent distros who are selling on-premises put together. I don't know that for a fact, but I know they're selling a hell of a lot of it. And when we asked the question of the Gartner Research Circle, we found 50% of the customers who responded said they were on-premises. 50% of them said they were in the cloud. About a third of them are in both places. This market has been dominated by conversations about on-premises. So the cloud conversation is really just beginning. But you had the 50% numbers, interesting. It certainly is. If it's just beginning, that's kind of like denial. Well, it's not denial. It's the fact that we didn't have visibility into the data, but it's a dramatic impact on the market. And technically, technologically, the question of how do we live in a hybrid world is just as it is in the DBMS market, a question that's just beginning to be asked, people are going to have a foot in both worlds. The cloud-to-ground problem, the ground-to-cloud problem, whether it's moving or synchronizing, is going to be a formidable one. And to your point, Dave, as the whales come into the game, some of them have already spent a lot of time on this problem, maybe not in the Hadoop stack. But if you ask Microsoft about living in both worlds, they've got a great story. They've got a stretch table, they've got some muscle server. And the cloud guys are simplifying and making it easier to consume that data pipeline as a service. You want to move data back and forth and synchronize it? Oracle's got a great story with Golden Gate. It's like a Game of Thrones episode. They've got muscle and they have an army of people both tech tech and sales. The big guys are not flat-footed in this game, it's weird. I mean, they can pivot, too. So to your question about M&A, maybe the red wedding is coming. I don't know. Got to have a Game of Thrones reference. Merv Adrian from Gardner here inside the queue, breaking down the analyst session where we extract the student who knows, great to have you on. And of course, always great to see you. And I know you're working hard and you've got a busy schedule. Thanks for taking your time out of your busy day. Let's end this in our traditional way. Let's talk about the bumper sticker for Strada Hadoop. Part of Big Data NYC, our event, which we're running. So summarize what's going on in Big Data NYC this week. A lot of action. Don't roll your eyes again. All right. The store and simplicity are the story. It's about what's happening at the data layer and it's about whether I can deploy easily. Those are the biggest barriers. The market is growing. Last time we talked, I think I held up a glass and said this glass is half empty. That was the conversation about the numbers. I gave you the numbers already. It's clear what direction we're moving. We're going up as long as we don't screw it up and derail it somehow. If we can keep it simple and make it deployable and remain solution focused, this market has a lot of legs. Final comment I want to ask you, since we're in New York City, Hell's Kitchen is nearby and actually Hell's Kitchen is hot. I got to ask you about that store and simplicity thing. Data layer, how hot is it in the kitchen in this world? Is it burning up? Is it really competitive? What's your peg in terms of degree of competitiveness for that data layer? Because store and simplicity, that's a secret formula. If you can make something simple, elegant and easy, it integrates well in the cloud, AKA what you're saying, that's a winning formula. How competitive is that action? It's extraordinarily competitive. The fact that several different players are all introducing major updates here, some of them entirely new things. Hortonworks has an entirely new business line with Dataflow to tackle this question of streaming. Does that remain a separate thing? Or does it become just part of quote the Hadoop stack? You've got people who are doing metadata crawling of your lake because so many people are running around saying just dump it in the lake, we'll figure it out later. Ask Tamer about that. They're selling people, actually excuse me, they're giving away a free crawler so you can go crawl your lake after you've dumped everything into it and figure out what's there in some semantically useful way. There are so many facets to this that it's going to remain interesting for those of us who do this for a living for years to come. It's hot as hell in the kitchen here in the Cloudera, Hortonworks, Big Data, Hadoop, all breaking out in its own way. Merv, thanks for sharing the data. This is theCUBE breaking down all the analysis. Horses on the track, whatever you want to call it. Competition is hot. Horses are next door. Horses are next door. We'll be right back after this short break. Thanks for watching Live in New York City. We'll be right back at theCUBE. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante and Merv Adrian from Gardner. We'll be right back. Thank you. Live from New York, it's theCUBE. Cover Big Data NYC 2015.

So let's get in on it, jaspyscaserakes.com. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


President Mohammad Buhari has claimed he inherited a country at crossroads with bombs detonating in cities of Nigeria. Buhari was speaking during the passing out parade and commissioning ceremony of cadets of regular course 69 of the Nigerian Defense Academy in Kaduna. He, however, said his administration has been able to manage Nigeria's security crisis since assuming office in 2015. A total of 239 cadets, including those from sister African countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Niger Republic, Chad and Uganda, passed out from the academy as junior military officers. I want to say this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians that although we have recorded sexes in the conflict inherited, especially in the Northeast, the security challenges in the country have evolved and assumed other dimensions in some areas. We have devised both military and non-military methods to intervene and even rolled out an amnesty program to rehabilitate repentant terrorists who surrendered and laid down their arms unconditionally. Let me also commend our military for both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches. They adopt, in tackling some of our security challenges. Just yesterday, relief came for our country as the remaining 23 victims of the March 28 Abuja-Kaduna train attack were released by the heinous terrorists.


Day 30 congratulations to all of you guys. I've made this far and I want to talk about how when you're doing challenges like this, right? It's not Just about completing the 30 days or completing the 60 days the idea or the mentality you want to embody is Incorporating these things into your lifestyle. It's kind of like what someone starts in you Diet a lot of times they say oh, you know what I'm going to die for a month or two months and make a transformation That's not the idea you want to make into a lifestyle. You want to make it into your Make habitual so that you don't have to think about it.  So you're gonna Shower in cold water. Now.  Why would you put yourself through that trauma, right?  I heard someone talk about this of the day You go in and it's you're either gonna do it.    You're gonna take the cold shower And you're gonna do it every single day for 30 days to build a discipline muscle. So I'll actually Record myself doing it. Don't worry. I won't be naked or anything. But just to show you guys I'm actually doing this time actually embodying these challenges I'm doing these with you and we're gonna grow together So that's it. That's the third days Cold shower challenge.  I mean guys peace like comment subscribe. See you next time

Rydyn ni'n gweithio'r cyflawn i'r hostau Dr Carlos López, rydyn ni'n cyflawni'r union afri ac yn ymddangosiaeth yn y cyflawni'r cyflawni, ac yn y EU post 2020, y post wedi'u gweithio yn y Juli 2018. Felly mae'n amlwg spesifatau a'r amlwg spesifatau. Diolch yn ddod i'r perffasio'r Ffyrdd mewn ysgolwyddon o Gweithredu Rhade, ddiddorol, ac i'n meddwl i'w amdano'r ffyrdd i'r gynhyrch sy'n meddwl i'r gwbl fan o'r ffrindiau, ddim yn gweithio i ddod i'r mynd i'w Gweithredu Rhade. Good afternoon everyone and a very warm welcome to the Institute of the International European Affairs seminar, part of the development matters lecture series that we in Irish eight are happy and more than happy to support. Thanks to AIEA for your continued fruitful collaboration on this. My name is Down overflow N, the director of a multi lateral unit in the the Development Cooperation and Africa Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Before this, I was the Irish Ambassador to Uganda and Rwanda. This Development Matter series continues to provide stimulating thoughts and ideas on issues relating to global development and Ireland's role in that. The government's new policy for international development, a better world, sets out clearly our approach and our priorities for the coming period in terms of strength and governance, climate action, gender equality, reduced humanitarian need, and also at a focus on reaching the furthest behind first. Today, therefore, we are more than happy to introduce Dr Carlos Lopez, the African Union High Representative for Partnerships with Europe. He will deliver remarks on a topic which is very close to our heart here in Ireland. Can Africa claim the 21st century? Dr Lopez was appointed as the High Representative in 2018. From 2012 to 2016, Dr Lopez served as the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Indeed, during his tenure, he welcomed the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins, to UNECA in 2014. In that same year, he was a guest of us here as well for the African Ireland Economic Forum. He is no stranger to Ireland and it's great to have you back on our shores. This is also a very timely time, isn't it, because of the changes that are afoot? We've got on the one hand a new leadership in the European Union, an attempt to rejuvenate a true partnership between Europe and Africa, and on the other hand reforms in the EU, the African Continental Free Trade Area, the abundance of opportunities that Africa presents, and also the number of challenges that are faced in that continent, not least, for example, climate change. Dr Lopez is a professor at the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance at the University of Cape Town in South Africa and visiting professor at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris. He's most recent book called Africa and Transformation, Economic Development in the Age of Doubt, is in the words of the former UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, a compelling rethink of traditional development models in Africa and the need to seize on transformational change to build a sustainable future for the continent. He also runs a very exciting blog called Africa Cheetah Run. Thank you, Google it. You will find it very quickly. With these few remarks, can I introduce to you please Dr Carlos Lopez. Thank you. With your permission I'm going to do it from here. Well, thank you for the commercial about Africa Cheetah Run. There is a story behind it. Africa is on a catch-up mode, so it needs to run very fast and the cheetah is the fastest animal on earth. So it's a way of saying Africa needs to run at the speed of a cheetah. But beyond the speed there is also another message that is implicit because part of the ideas about Africa rising that have dominated some of the specialized financial media, the economies, financial times, et cetera, resulted from a report produced by McKinsey which title was Lions on the Move. And this is a provocation to basically send a message that lions are about show off. Lions are very lazy, their effectiveness is very low, so they go for anything and they get very little and they are not gender sensitive. The lionesses do all the work. So we need completely to overall this idea that progress in Africa is going to be in the image of a lion which is basically about grabbing the headlines but not doing much. The cheetah is the opposite of all that I said about the lions. Narratives about Africa tend to be negative as we know. Embedded in historical simplifications and dismissiveness has become quite current including in our perceptions of Africa from a geographical point of view with projections that are used mostly in the Mercator projection giving us an idea of the landmass of the continent does not correspond to reality as we know. Africa is much bigger and therefore it is much more important for us to try to understand the complexity because of the larger than usual complexity and reality of the continent. But we also know that most of the Africa rising narrative that has resulted in some counterintuitive perceptions being finally addressed as limited for a large extent to business opportunities and giving the idea that in Africa we have new business opportunities and more voices admitting that the possibility of an African century are based in this principle or this perception. The adoption of UN millennium declaration in the year 2000 and its companion, the millennium development goals has indeed inaugurated a new era. Prescriptive structural adjustment policies were replaced by goals meaning different ways of attaining objectives or in economic jargon policy space. Around the year 2000 the millennium declaration is from the year 2000 to demonstrate a different pattern of economic behavior. For the last 18 years African countries systematically dominated the list of the top 10 fastest growing economies in the world. For 2020 the just released IMF forecasts indicate that 16 of the 30 countries with the best growth performances will be in Africa and 23 African countries will post growth of 5% or more. Economic growth resulted in Africa doubling its GDP since the year 2000 and even though growth has slowed down due to a challenging global context the continent's performance is second only to Southeast Asia. A number of socio-economic indicators have also fueled the African century narrative. By 2010 the middle class had risen to 34% of the African population up from 27% in the year 2000. Such growth in the middle class is higher than the growth rate of the population although the growth rate of the population is taking a lot of importance in terms of the overall performance. The middle class although arguably still vulnerable is viewed as the fuel to the economies of the continent and in fact two thirds of our growth is a result of internal consumption. Very much the same as in the US. In 2017 household spending has reached $1.6 trillion after crossing the $1 trillion mark in 2010. This is on par with large economies such as China in terms of percentage. By 2025 household spending is projected to reach $2.5 trillion according to estimates by McKinsey and Brookings Institution. The growth experience alone is indeed not sufficient to claim the 21st century. Africa grew quickly but transformed slowly. Therefore putting in jeopardy many of the gains so far registered. The forecasted 3.6% growth for 2020. This is the last forecast from the IMF remains way short of the 7% minimum required to double the average per capita income in let's say a decade. This is partly due to the fact that too many African economies still depend on the production and export of primary commodities. The good news is that attractive solutions are known. Translating growth into meaningful development for African countries will require an aggressive industrialization agenda. Africa is not a desert when it comes to manufacturing and industrialization. Attempts to industrialize in the 60s and the 70s by adopting the model of import substitution and mixed results. While this led to some remarkable progress it quickly showed the limits of state led production rather than state led facilitation. Manufacturing value addition as a percentage of GDP has been declining since the introduction of liberal policies promoted by the structural adjustment programs. However, since the overall economy has grown considerably, the value addition percentage hides the fact that the real production of manufactured goods has gone up significantly too. Yet the concentration of such industrial base in a few countries and sectors demonstrate that the structural transformation is still missing in action. The quest for industrialization is not, therefore, over in Africa. Domestic manufacturing in Africa has doubled between 2000 and 2010 according to the African Development Bank and continues to increase. Agro processing, south east Asia delocalization of low value added manufacturing, as well as commodity based industrialization, hold the key for a more radical transformation. So these three, agro processing, south east Asia delocalization and commodity based industrialization. For many African countries endowed with natural resources, focusing energies on exploiting and transforming that wealth can be far more promising than trying to diversify away from commodities. So basically this is called vertical diversification rather than horizontal diversification. Despite criticism of this model of industrialization, increasing the productivity of commodities, largely due to the argument that it is unlikely to promote linkages. Experiences from other resource rich countries such as Argentina, Chile, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Norway and even close by Scotland show that such model can deliver economic development. Examples from within Africa itself demonstrate that such model can be promising in terms of developing elements of an ecosystem that promotes innovation, value addition as well as quality employment. A case in point is what Botswana has done with diamonds. On the other hand, agriculture represents also an important vehicle for resource based industrialization. Agriculture accounts for almost 65% of Africa's employment and 75% of its domestic trade. In addition, the agribusiness sector has already made some strides on the continent and it's potentially significant with estimates putting its value 1 trillion by 2030. The sector can generate significant productivity gains in rural areas with vibrant ups of agribusiness and linkages across value chains. To fully reach its potential, it will be important to improve land productivity. Africa's land productivity is stuck at 1.5 tons per hectare while countries like India land productivity has grown from 0.95 tons per hectare to 2.53 in just 50 years. This is despite the fact that agricultural land in Africa is 3 to 6 times larger than in countries like China and India, both of which, despite having much lower available agricultural land per capita, have successfully managed to secure food for their poor, while Africa continues to be the world's most food insecure region. Small scale farmers will be important players in this transformation as well as the way we treat different elements of the equation such as the way we deal with farm equipment, farming techniques, fertilizer seeds etc. Transforming African economies through a resource based industrialization will not be easy. It will require innovation skills, robust knowledge base of the industry structure and the global value chains understanding. It would also require African countries to be particularly attuned to the global training landscape, including barriers and preferences. Above all boosting intra-Africa trade remains imperative for creating the markets that are needed for successful industrialization. The entry into force of the African continental free trade area is potentially an important game changer. Africa has since this year the largest free trade area in the world by size with its 1.3 billion consumer market and by number of countries. 54. The combined consumer and business spending is expected to hit 6.7 trillion within the next 10 years. The Economic Commission for Africa expects the African free trade area to expand trade by about 52% in just 20 years. Admittedly the transition will not be without consequences, at least for some time. Experiences in countries that have undergone such transformations and adjustments show that there is a strong historical pattern of worsening income distribution between rural and urban economies during the initial stages of structural transformation, this famous Cusnets curve that economists love. As the urban population in Africa is projected to double in size to eventually reach 2.3 billion in the next 40 years, it is likely that such pattern would be further accentuated by these trends. However, we also know from historical data that absolute poverty does not necessarily worsen during such episodes, therefore reducing the risk that the strides made in fighting extreme poverty in Africa in the last two decades are unlikely to be reversed. The IMF estimates that in the last two decades poverty in Africa has been reduced from 60% to 40% of the total population. Transformation requires capital, which will need to be generated in international markets through foreign direct investments etc. Yet Africa remains marginal as a destination for foreign investors. Such reluctance is often justified by exaggerated risk perceptions, often dominated by security and governance concerns. The turn of the century witnessed some progress in relation to political governance. Despite pockets of violence, there is consensus that the nature of politics in Africa is changing. 20 changes of leaders in the last 26 months, just to give you an example. The appetite of the continent's population for political participation has increased as demonstrated by political contestation, events such as the one you have just followed in Sudan and Algeria, but many more that have taken place before. Youth, particularly those residing in urban areas, operate in political spaces in similar ways to their counterparts elsewhere in the world. They have access to information, social media. In addition conflicts have receded across the continent in terms of number of casualties, largely driven by political governance improvements across the continent as measured by the most comprehensive governance index. Despite the decline in the number of conflicts in Africa, the continent continues to be viewed as conflict-ridden. Unlike Asia, conflicts in Africa are not looked at in isolation, unfortunately. The conflicts in Mindanau do not shape the image of the Philippines. The Sabah insurgency does not shape the image of emerging Malaysia. There were about 29 piracy attacks in 2009 of the coast of Somalia as compared to 150 attacks in the Strait of Malacca between Malaysia and Singapore, but this is not the perception of most people. The Naxalite insurgency and the issue of Kashmir do not shape investors' image of rising India. South Korea remains unaffected by its proximity to its belligerent sister in the north. Indeed, despite the widespread nature of conflict in south and southeast Asia, the region is branded as dynamic rather than unstable. Perceptions therefore count. Structural transformation requires a different type of engagement that taps into the potential of the continent rather than sees it as a high-risk region or at best a charity basket case. Development aid, albeit still important in specific cases, cannot single-handedly transform African economies and may be a contributor to this image problem. Africa's youth can be an asset if also we take some of their agency and some of their energy as a transformative element of what is happening in the continent rather than seeing it just from a conflict perspective. Reaching the full potential of the continent requires political courage to ask all international partners to look beyond their perceptions. It is time for international partners' engagement to shift from policies and frameworks driven by perception to those driven by reality and a common vision for the future. The youth bulge in Africa, if managed properly, is for instance not just a fuel for African economies but for the rest of the world, especially in Europe, given ageing. A recent study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, a very reputable foundation in Germany, has shown that intra-EU migration will no longer be able to cater for the needs of the German economy. They will require an additional 146,000 workers per year from non-EU countries. This is just one example. Africa's youth is currently viewed largely as a threat rather than an opportunity with EU caving into pressure from right-wing politicians. The reality however shows that Africans are far from being the main group of non-EU migrants entering Europe. The rate of Chinese migration to Europe is for instance twice the rate of arrivals from Africa. Which is not the perception again that most people have. Those wishing to migrate also tend to be more educated in Africa. Concerns about refugees is also unjustified as Africa continues to bear the brunt of wars with 80% of the refugees of the continent remaining in Africa. A future focused engagement also requires international partners to move beyond classical development aid models. Limiting Europe's engagement with Africa to mechanisms of aid disbursement that have been in place since the 70s does not bode well for the future. Where the youth thought to be innovative it developed initiatives with no consultations with African countries and in isolation of a plethora of initiatives and mechanisms in place in Africa that Europe has put in place without proper consultations with the continent. These fragmented approaches to dealing with Africa carry obviously the risk of ineffectiveness but also a political erosion of goodwill. There is a Somali saying that goes like this. He who does not seize opportunity today will be enabled to seize tomorrow's opportunity. For the African continent its leaders and people and for international partners now is the moment to make the Africa century a reality. Thank you.


1 minute English, 18 collocations with the word emotion. If something causes emotion, we say it evokes, arouses, stirs, or triggers emotion. Some people like to display, express, or show emotion, whereas others prefer to hide, repress, or suppress emotion. Suppressed emotions can also be called pent-up emotions. When you experience two or more different and opposite emotions, we say you have conflicting emotions or mixed emotions. It's very common to say mixed feelings. And when you experience many different emotions one after another, we call this a roller coaster of emotions. Very strong emotion is sometimes called raw emotion or intense emotion. And when your emotions are so strong that it's difficult to think or speak, then we say you are overwhelmed or overcome with emotion.

Hi guys, we are so excited to have you back. Thank you so much for watching this episode. In case you have not subscribed, make sure you do. Now let's get right into it. Our topic of discussion is very, very, very, very. Eh guys, would you forgive cheating? Because we have seen someone in South Africa, it's a couple, and a man has posted his girlfriend and told her, So sorry for cheating, I love you, but I just can't stop cheating. Thank you for giving me for the 15th time. And I'm just here wondering, do we have the energy to forgive 15 times a relationship, not even a marriage? I mean, do we have the energy to do that? What do you guys think? First of all, that is an open relationship. That girl should just accept that. Yes, she should accept that. I'm not saying that she should also be getting other men, because come on, 15 times, that's actually not love. And this man said, it does not make you lesser. Yes, it does not make you look dumb. I love you. Oh gosh. I just can't stop cheating. That is disrespect. This man does not respect you. He has zero respect for you as a person, as a woman, as his woman, he has zero respect for you. And then, forgiving cheating. Would you forgive cheating?  You know, I love you, I don't want to comment, but I have forgiven cheating before. I have forgiven not once. Okay, so we are going to get why. Not once, not twice. I have forgiven cheating. But that was when I was younger and I was not really... But now, now it's a bit tricky. I don't know, I can't surly, not now. In this day and age, I will not. You, Liz? It's a tricky question, but for me, I feel it depends on the nature of our relationship. If I'm married to you for 15 years, I will give it a thought. But right now, no, I will not. Especially how I find out. I feel like if you have to cheat, not that I condone cheating, but if you have to cheat, let me not find out. Let me not find out you're chatting with this girl, you've been meeting with this person because I will not strangle you, but I will be very mad. So also how I find out if this other woman disrespects me and sends me pictures of the both of you, there are some levels to disrespect. So it depends on nature of relationship one to how I find out. Well, would I forgive cheating? I would wish to say no, but I have forgiven cheating before. And I don't know if it gets better after you forgive or it gets worse. I'm not so sure because again it depends with the relationship and it depends on who you are forgiving. Why do people forgive? I would say why I forgive. Yes.  I'm so used to like I do want to leave that relationship. I feel like I have invested a lot. You get. So I do want to leave that relationship because I have invested and there's a kusame. So that's why I forgive. And I did it once, twice and then that's when you felt like I felt like the disrespect was too much because now I remember kwanza ya pili.  I have oh my God. Why did you forgive? Because I love that person also in love. Then I was always like I'll change, I'll change. Until I forget the fourth one I was like yo, I'm going to get hapis in this relationship. No, ya. I was led. I felt like I have to every single time nashida ni you're not even being smart about it. If you're cheating, let me know find out. Be smart about it. But someone who's not really hiding it like even the guy the South African guy he's not really hiding it. This is the 15th time he's not hiding it. If I've forgiven you once, twice, three times you and Mother Rao at this point Mother Rao. And the ones that come with kids in Tufesidibia the young African rich famous whatever. But the one Tufesidibia had cheated I go home all the time. Oh my goodness. Ya. I just thought you're in a marriage but in that since you got married for Tufesidia it was the in a marriage and then in that same marriage I'm going to tell you what to talk about me. In my case. I feel for that one I would live. Well personally why I forgive there are a couple of reasons. One I sort of felt you know that thing of who you invested your feelings for all these years it was a long time relationship so I felt like you know what I am not ready to start afresh I really don't even know someone else do I really want to start afresh I'm like ah he has asked for forgiveness he's going to change but let me tell you minor after that it's never the same then also I had a thought of I probably might never find someone else or someone better. Better ya the ocean is full of fish my friend I'm not sure if the fish is in the ocean and excuse me he's not even better if he's cheating on you he's not he's not for you but you see now when we meet you always feel like he will never find someone else you're finding the best you will start making excuses for him be part of all I decided like right now in my groin edge I'm still growing though I keep saying I start making excuses for a man if I start making excuses to show people how good he is and people are not seeing that that's a red flag but now let's talk about the impact cheating does into a relationship and I mean we all have first hand experience so maybe we can speak from that and our friends experiences what does it do breaks the trust trust for me I'll be looking at you every single time I'll tell you when you're out I'll tell you when you're out I'm insecure let me say that I'm insecure about everything you do like I want to check it every single moment like trust I feel that trust that's number one then I will always be suspecting you I will always be suspecting you then I will always be suspecting you then I will always be suspecting you so I feel for me it will never be the same yeah and also for me I feel like cheating really makes lowers your self esteem because if you have invested your feelings to this person you trust them you have given them your body your soul you know when they cheat on you it breaks you mentally what am I what am I not doing correct you have even blaming yourself for someone else behavior so it really breaks you mentally and the moment you are broken mentally there is nothing else you can do as in you have unless you rebuild your mental state and bring it and make it positive you build your self esteem but can you really build your self esteem when you forgive the same person that broke you that's why it's easy for you to forgive one person I actually cannot judge that girl I cannot because it's easy for you to keep forgiving him because after all your self esteem sayari kuchini so you just like now who's going to accept me I've been with this guy for all these years everyone knows that this is our relationship how do I even start dating again how am I sure if I won't find a worse person someone worse than what I have right now better than the devil you know than the angel you don't know I say it right a few times maybe it's that angel at this point but it's never work I feel there's a time someone cheated on me with someone and I started dressing like that looking like that girl you know trying to look like that girl until I was like that's crazy right what the hell is this baka mimi I used to ask what's wrong with me baka I started changing my attitude and sometimes it's not even new it's not even new at all it's not you it's never you it's never you actually it's just their behaviour that's just them so you have to figure out am I going to deal with these issues because I mean yes there are people who have cheated and they ask for forgiveness and they never did it again maybe but I believe if you cheat you want a cheater always a cheater but I also always say is a difference between getting married to a man because there are men who are losing people's DMs hey hey in girls DMs and there is a man who is really not interested in everyone also there are people you would look at the people they are cheating with they are looking nothing like the wife so clearly this person has no type it is a scat his type is a scat I always say that's the reason why I would not even forgive you like you said maybe in marriage I can forgive you but how am I forgiving you nalabdo lichit nambot surely surely I would feel very bad if you are cheating on me with someone who is not even at par with me you know how can I even start forgiving you for cheating on me with our house help honestly that's disrespect we're just cheating on me with anything that works as in when you say mati oh there's a way her mind was very intellectual you can't even say just anything that works so really how am I going to keep you here if you have me and this is what you went for and you have me, come on so yeah I don't know they say sometimes you can't control yourself but where is the respect what do you mean you can't control yourself where is the respect because sometimes there are people who can cheat outside there and again some of the men have interacted they may cheat on you but it's not like they don't love you that's what I hear all the time I hear that and I want to ask you guys this notion that a man is a man he's gonna cheat is that really an excuse for people to cheat but do you believe some men don't cheat yes yes I don't like that comment when people say it's just a man he's gonna cheat either way men have wandering eyes excuse me in Islam they say lower your gaze as a man when you see a woman lower that gaze first of all Leon is seen and also kutamanim what is this called the 10 commandments isn't that one of them adultery is one and also kutamanim just kutamanim aliam isn't that a commandment so men really tell me what is this if you clear that's where they drew the line your man is a man come on but also I feel like you see now when this man the men now cheat what are the long term effects to kimalizia because yes how would you go about living with someone now that you've forgiven I mean we have all experienced this how was it it had but also I would say for you to take back someone their actions have to be to be very loud their actions and also that's why I said like for you to believe someone is changing they can't just tell you oh I'm going to change and then you're there yeah but he will change what what has he shown what are the changes he's shown seem to turn actually not come but they may change and then a few months later we are back and then you're like babe me change no the actions has to be loud and they have to be ready for all the consequences they have to be ready for your healing process for you the trust for you to regain that trust back they have to be ready for that for that whole process because it's not a nice process so if you're not ready for that I have to know where you are and have to know who you are with because you cheated and I already know this is how you cheated you have to you have to be patient with me you have to be patient with my healing process and actually it's very unfair for you to have expectations on how you will be forgiven exactly like what you mean you did not consult when you were you were betraying this person so it is so unfair for you to have expectations but again also if you plan on forgiving someone then also don't give them a hard time because you made the decision of forgiving them also try to heal without causing them more harm because if you're going to cost them harm it is not going to come back nothing is going to change he cheated you are betrayed so you decide if you're moving on or you're moving away it's that simple because I have to be patient because I have to be patient because I have to be patient and if you move away it's that simple because again you bring up the issue all the time all the time you're not even happy what is it for it's not making sense anyways guys your final words now that we all forgive in the past we forgive cheating would you guys forgive cheating now no because I did it but right now I'm not married to anyone so no well personally I don't know would I give a second chance it depends on the situation it depends on the situation I think until I'm in that situation that's why I'm going to know if I'm forgiving or not but it depends on the situation but for giving the third time I don't give that chances I only give second chances on cheaters stop disrespecting your partner especially you cheat 15 times and then you ask for forgiveness and you put it public like who are you if you cheat be smart about it cheat smartly don't get caught so if you decide to cheat just no choices have consequences because you have to do it you have to go with those consequences but if you feel like you know you're not ready to face these consequences of probably losing a relationship betraying your spouse someone you claim to love breaking your marriage then think about it before you decide to cheat let us know down on the comments section would you actually forgive cheating if you are forgiven why did you forgive after you forgive kuna endaji tuam vie thank you so much for watching friends vibe until next time from us


All four. Oh, good balance. My name is Lisa Vetch and I'm an occupational therapist with the Early Learning Team. And then jump with two feet again. So the first broad-based strategy actually came to fruition as a result of a conversation I had with the teacher, but a child in the class who had motor planning issues. So we had a discussion about some of the strategies for this individual children and the teacher expanded the strategy to include the whole class by providing an obstacle course for all of the children in the class. All of the children are required to do the same motor movements that the child with the identified needs would be doing. So going under and over and balancing using their core strength would all be activities that all the children would benefit from. I'll point out where the lines are. The next activity did was a small group activity. So we were working on efficiency of movement and endurance. I had the children positioned on their stomachs and doing some independent drawing. Being positioned on their stomach encourages shoulder stability and puts their forearm in a proper position so that they can write and draw in a more functional position. As well, completing activities at the easel also will encourage shoulder stability and put the wrist in a good position for the use of tools. Activities as simple as using a pin with their thumb and index can actually be working towards a proper and a mature tripod grasp. Some of the children that we work with have difficulties forming letters properly starting at the bottom instead of the top and going from right to left. So the app that we used on the iPad guided the child where to start the letter properly and then gave reinforcements at three different levels. I think a lot of the success comes from seeing their peers doing the same activities. I think children better learn from their peers than adults because they see that they're able to do it and they're really motivated to try to model what their peers are doing. I think when I go into the classroom and I see some of the strategies that are being used, it's reaffirming that it actually does work in the classroom that some of the strategies are making an impact on the teacher and that they're actually grasping some of those skills that we want them to and implementing those with the children so that we're not necessarily having to be there for the treatment to occur.

Good day fellow investors! There are some very interesting things that happened in the diamond sector. So in this video I'll analyze the industry, the diamond industry, what is going on with the supply and demand of diamonds. And I'll discuss two interesting diamond investments that have a good yield and could explode when what is going on there actually happens. So keep listening and let's start with the diamond industry. A few days ago Bloomberg wrote an article how diamond stocks have been dropping like a stone. However diamond prices didn't drop. So all these stocks have had individual issues that can and can't be resolved. So it's very interesting because diamond prices are stable and stocks are dropped which means there must be some burdens. Also Bloomberg says the sector is oversold so now is the time to buy diamonds, not when the sector is overbought. A look at the diamond industry, the biggest diamond producer is the Russian company Alarosa followed by De Beers, Rio Tinto, Diamond Dominion and 28% of smaller producers. What's very interesting is that global sales, diamond sales continue to grow at a steady pace of around 4% per year. The largest market for now is still the US but India and China are growing and expected to grow at very very healthy growth rates of above 6%. This means that there will be plenty of demand from diamonds and as we have seen in our UPi analysis video the number of high net worth individuals is growing in China very fastly and they I'm sure will buy diamonds. On the supply side and this is what makes the thing interesting, supply is expected to grow only at 2% until 2019 and then remain flat for the next 7-8 years. This means that there will be a supply gap arising in the diamond sector from 2018-2019 onwards and this should push diamond prices higher so it's a very interesting sector to invest especially now that stocks are cheap. How to invest in a miner? Diamond companies are diamond miners so you have to see what are their mining costs, what is the quality of their ore, where they search for diamonds, the Kimberlid ore, where is the mine, what are the risks, how big is the mine, how big can it be, what is the potential, what are they finding and it's a very very interesting however not at all a stable environment. If you look at mining costs African diamond mining companies have the lowest cost Alarosa is also there the Russian company traded on the Russian stock exchange and Canadian diamond mining companies have higher costs so if you look at investing if you buy the low cost then if diamond prices increase you will make the smallest profit because they're already profitable and their margins won't increase that much if you buy the Canadian mines and diamond prices increase their profit margin will increase significantly which will make also their stock prices increase. Let's look at two diamonds and the first thing to show is that one diamond can change the game for a company. This is the Lacedila Rona 1109 carat diamond that was found by Lucara. It took them a year to sell and that's one reason why the stock price dropped so much but it was sold for 53 million that's a quarter of the usual revenue from Lucara. Nevertheless the stock price dropped like a rock from 417 to the current 2.47 so the company is profitable they are doing a good job mining what they have at a nice gross profit margin and if they find more of those big gems it could really really shoot up the stock price. In the meantime you can enjoy a 4% dividend which they pay out quarterly so if you want to position yourself in the diamond industry Lucara is a very very interesting stock African miner as I said and owned by the London family so if you want to invest with them into diamonds then Lucara is the way to go. The second company that's very interesting is Dominion Diamond Corporation it's a purely Canadian miner whose success of the stock of course purely depends on its projects. They're developing four new projects free at Ekati continuing the development of the Diavik mine they expect their sales in Ibita sales to double Ibita to triple so let's say earnings double and they could come to earnings of around two dollars per share two and a half if prices go higher which are very very high earnings for a stock that's trading at 14 dollars and the production is expected to last for a while so very interesting stock to look at if you want to position yourself into diamonds. Their stock price unfortunately this growth is already acknowledged by the market but there might be more more growth ahead so interesting to check. I will finish with something very interesting we have seen a supply gap opening so if you're planning on buying a diamond for someone you should do it before 2019. It isn't that romantic but you can buy a bigger diamond and bigger diamonds are always a romantic. Thank you for watching click like if you like the content let me hear what you think about the diamond industry and I'll see you in the next video.


My name is David Patton. When I started photography, I wanted to make art. I wanted to be a landscape photographer But with a family to feed and bills to pay, I decided it would be better to be a working photographer than a starving artist So I took a job as a photojournalist 25 years and thousands of assignments later. It was time to go back to my first love. It was time to follow my passion Come along on my journey to become the best black and white photographer I can be whether it be film or digital I will be sharing what I learned through my successes and my failures and hopes to inspire and educate This is my journey This is Brighton Yatch. I've been working on this covered bridge project for a while. I've had some of these shots some of these shots I've done a long time ago and some of them are newer. I've always had this kind of interest in Covered bridges for some reason they might just be because we have quite a few around where I live So I thought I'd do a zine on one. I may be the only person that's interested in that subject matter It's quite a bit different than the nature stuff. I do in a way. It's still kind of landscape photography, but but with With a structure with a subject With a historic subject matter. So right now I'm focusing on covered bridges for my area And if there's an interest in this in this zine and it's not just for me I may consider Doing the rest of the state. There's still quite a few more spread all over the state that I could make a another volume of this scene or actually Put it all in a book. It's spider on me. I really do enjoy it. So Traveling to places a little further away to make these images would be kind of fun, too So we'll see if if there's interest I'll I'll do some more of these These images I may take these these that are in this zine and and roll them over into a book with the the rest of the Cover bridges in the state. It's what's great about these zines is it lets you try out ideas and and see if there's enough there for If the idea is solid enough for something longer than just the zine Well, you may have noticed That I am shooting both film and digital in this project You know Well, you're you have a keen eye because yes, that's what that's what I'm doing. So lately I've been thinking I'm I Think I've been kind of falling into that trap of letting my gear Or my choice of film or digital Defined me as a photographer And I think that's a big mistake I start thinking about this project and going through my images and I realized that I had a pretty Good assortment of film and digital kind of mixed all together the kind of Reflects how I shoot now my heart would love to shoot everything up with film. I Really love to shoot film, but my head says I want the best possible image quality and I want to use the gear and and The best camera to meet that goal So I don't think I'll ever be able to Just pick one. I know that's kind of a Not in fashion right now There seems to be a lot of people that identify themselves with a certain Type of camera a certain format Whether it's film or digital This I found that bit odd really because It's all photography The reason I shoot film isn't Because I think it's cool or fashionable. I shoot film because I'm doing black-and-white photography And I still feel that I get my best results with film It's subtle But I just really love the tones. It's such a rich has such a rich tone It's really hard to put my finger on it and it could be I just edit my film scans better than I edit my digital files Maybe I just need to work on it more But at this point, I still feel like I get better black-and-white images tonally with film But there are a lot of times we're shooting film just isn't practical Especially since I'm now shooting four by five and there are times where digital is just the way to go It's not that I think the quality of my images when I shoot digital are bad. I just Feel like there's just something a little bit special about the film About the film images. I know it's easy to be wrapped up in the process of photography But I don't want to let what I shoot with defining me as a photographer In the end the only thing I want to define me as a photographer are the images I've made So until next time, thanks for coming along for the ride


And welcome this video is part of a series be sure to check out the description in the playlist or the playlist the link to the Playlist in the description of this video to watch well This is the first one was just about where to get the assets you need to to create a doom level again Creating doom levels is fun. It's easy doom is designed so well that even with a little bit of experience You can make something nice out of it But also doom itself is free and open source and if you're have no Experience in game design and development. It's a good place to start it is Has a lot of a large community around it and instead of trying to create a game from scratch to have something already there and Modify it. That's where a lot of people start It gives you a concept of how things work so that in the future when you do want to go create your own thing You already have a basic idea of how things are supposed to work Here we are we're going to be using the Eureka doom editor, which is what the series is about Once you have it installed and you open it up You're probably going to get some sort of level here and it's depending on what what file you have I have the doom to what file is my default what file and if you go up to file You can go to Project manage project and here you can see that you can choose what what file you want to do by default on defaulting to doom 2 But I have all these other ones installed because I have doom doom 2 I have Final doom and then I also have the free doom wads the port source here source support would be whatever doom port that you're going to be using I use PR boom so I chose boom and Map type that's probably only gonna see doom format there, but you can also probably I'm assuming using this for things like heretic another Doom like games and now these resource files here Again when it comes to doom you have two basic elements. You have your executable. It's the program It's the actual game this the the program But then you have your wad file which is all your assets your elements your your textures your Sprites your sounds your music well you can create your own wad files that maybe have new Graphics for sprites in there and new textures and if you want to use those in the editor You can load those here by clicking load and clicking on those so that's first thing I do is set that up and again when you start it up It's going to show this is the first level of doom 2 since that's the wad file that I have chosen let's talk about Doom itself doom Might seem like a 3d game, but it's not really 3d. It's a 2d game and I'm gonna get into the technical aspects of that But it's a 2d game that looks 3d. So it looks something like this when you play But because it's 2d you can't have One level above another so you have steps here in front of us that you can walk up But you can't have a shelf that you can walk under and over There are some things you can do to kind of fake that and cheat that but in general you don't have You can't have multiple levels above each other So the way doom works and this is a concept once you wrap your head around it makes creating levels a lot easier is that Everything is built on sectors and I like to think of a sector as a room. So you have a room and Each room has a floor height and a ceiling height so This is one room here and then this is another room or sector here And it has a different floor height and or ceiling height They both seem to have the same ceiling height if you look over here on the right you can see all your your Aspects for your sectors. So these are sectors. So let's talk about these different modes You can be in in Eureka. So right now we're in sector mode If you come down here to the bottom left You can see mode more in sector mode where we can select sectors and we can change Information about those things you might change in a sector again The floor height the ceiling height the ceiling texture and the floor texture You can also Choose different types, which we'll talk about more in the future, but things like Whether the lights flash Whether the room gives you damage when you go in there and Also things like doors and elevators or lifts our rooms and so they have special settings as well as far as types Another things you have access to when you are creating these as you can give them tags Which we'll talk about more in the future, but that's where you can link different things to that sector and then your your light so if you're The higher the number of the brighter is the lower the number of the darker is basically and we'll look at that more in the Future as well. So that's a quick overview of sectors Let's go down here to mode again and you can see that vertices is another option and that is what you might draw Your sectors with so for example, you can see that each wall is connected by a vertices You probably know what a vertices is if you've done anything 3d or maybe worked with SVG files so We can take those and then we'll talk about this more, but I can draw on now I just added a whole new other sector over here Or I can add to a wall sector here a wall in the sector which the walls are called lines So that's a quick look at vertices. I think that's pretty straightforward We'll come down here to mode We can now choose lines and the lines are the walls and the walls are what have their textures here So if I go into the 3d view here, you can already see a Preview here. I added this little closet over here and brought this wall in so it has a little point right there But now I can choose different Walls or lines here these walls and I can change the texture So there you go. You can see that we have any texture on there because I clicked on it And again, we'll go more into detail on this But basically I just selected it and then found the texture I wanted over here if for some reason this texture box isn't showing when you click on a wall or a line you can click on Texture over here and should bring up all the textures which are broken down into different categories And you can also search through if you know the name of what you're looking for So like if I wanted that wall texture to have a switch on it I can just type in SW and it should show most our switches here at which point I can add a switch But you can see we'll talk more about how to align tech Textures on the walls a little bit better in the future videos But you notice that there's one texture there But if I was to click something like this step over here, you can see that you now have six different Texture boxes here uppers lowers rail upper and upper Well, I guess lower lower rails and uppers so again Everything's 2d and it's all about the wall Ceiling and floor heights. So if I choose this sector here, I'm going to lower the ceiling down some And I'll raise the floor up more and you can see What we've created here We've moved that step up in the ceiling down and you can see these exclamation marks That's because there's no upper texture So let's go back to our line mode here and With these lines Selected we can choose what texture you want So this one you can see it's an exclamation mark now because it's it's visible But we haven't applied a texture to it So I can click that and I can choose a texture like so and now that texture is on the upper I can choose the lower and give it this texture. Oh, I haven't both selected It's just getting different textures so you can see the difference. So we have an upper and lower now These are the backside now this particular wall You can't see your line You can't see the backside and you can see this little line sticking out from the line That's the front and the other side would be the back So if I was to unselect these and select this one You can see that we have upper and lower for this But you don't even see that side when it comes to that wall and hopefully this will all make more sense as you learn More about how it works, but you can see the backside is not selected or it doesn't have a texture So we will select those and give them a brick texture here and I should select this other wall here and Again, we'll just give them all a texture like so so Now those are that's a basic overview of lines. So we've talked about Sectors vertices lines and last thing is things which obviously are the things the Players positions weapons pickups enemies such as that so those are all here and again I can click on one of these and Change it so I can make that a bad guy instead of a gun I can choose this and these are all listed here. You can search through them But you can also go to categories. So if I just want to look at I want to Look at health and armor. I can now I have two things selected. I can make them both med packs And again, we're gonna go over everything in more detail in the future. This is just a quick overview And if I didn't mention it earlier, let's go back to the sectors And I can change the ceiling and floor so I can either click This is the ceiling here and I click here and make the floor of that Another way to do it is if you don't have either of those selected and you click on with these It's going to change the floor if you left click if you right click it's going to change the ceiling so left click Right click left click right click and as far as what you see in the map here Whether you're seeing the floor or the ceiling texture you can change that somewhere. I usually just leave it as the floor Sector rendering so you can render nothing. So it's just lines and You can render the floors you can render the Ceilings I guess you can render lighting so you can see how bright each room is which is helpful if you're trying to fade the light out and sound Which we'll talk about more in the future But you can lock sound through different walls and you're going to definitely want to do that in some cases For right now, we'll just move this back to floors because that's what I work in mostly So that was a quick overview of the different elements Oh, I do want to mention so we clicked on this mode down here and Shows different ones, but you can change the mode with keyboard shortcuts So when I'm clicked in my map view here, I can hit V to go to vertices mode L to go to line mode S to go to sector mode and T to go to thing mode pretty straight forward And that's a lot quicker than coming down to this mode menu here So again S for sectors V for vertices L for lines and T for things I think that's fairly easy to remember So that's quick overview of the basic elements of the interface talk about obviously things more detail in future videos I do thank you for watching and as always I hope that you have a great day


Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Chrome browser tips and tricks video and I'll talk about how to share links or websites on Chrome browser. If this is your first time or a repeat visit, thank you for your support. On this channel, I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more Chrome browser videos, there will be links in the description box below. Sharing a link, what it means that let's say you're visiting a website or a news site or any web page and you find it interesting and you wanted to share that with your friends or anyone. Then this feature, let's you share your link via email or Facebook or let's say you know other social media. And today I'm going to show you how you can do that easily on Chrome browser. So before you do that, just make sure you have the latest version of Chrome or you have the updated version of Chrome. And once you're on the website, which you'd like to share, for example, right now we are at amitdan.com, which is my own website. So if you look in the address bar, which is right here, and if you go all the way to the right, then you're going to see this kind of like, you know, a button or an arrow icon. And this is actually the share link. So if you click on it, then you're going to get a few options. For example, one is copy link. So if you click copy link, so this is just copy, this will copy the link and can just, you know, paste it in an email. If you would like to send it to device, you can click here. If your device, you know, if the devices are on the same network, then you can QR or scan the code, and you can cast it to another device.  And then here, you can share it via Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn and Pinterest. So basically, the social media you're signed in from Chrome browser is going to appear here. And it has the capability to share via those social media as well. So there are different options. The one option I can see here that it doesn't have a direct email option. So it looks like you cannot, you know, email directly yet as of recording this video. For definitely in the future, I have a feeling that, you know, that option is going to be on or you're going to see that option. But if you'd like to send it via email, then you have to just, you know, do it manually. So you can just copy the link and paste it the link in your email. So this is how you share your favorite links or websites on Chrome browser. Thank you for watching this video. There will be more videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly. Thank you.
