It is currently 11 o'clock and I'm going on a date obviously with Joel It is our four-year anniversary today. So it's May 20th We've been officially dating for four years, which is crazy But at the same time it like feels kind of like even longer than that like it just feels like kind of like forever But it's four years. So we're going on a little bit of a day today. It's a beautiful day I'm so excited. So I was just kind of like why don't I show you guys like the makeup I'm gonna do and you guys can get ready with me because I feel like I never really show myself like getting ready for anything So I'm gonna run you guys through a quick makeup tutorial that I'm gonna do. I'm not really like that good at makeup This is just like what's comfortable for me. So you wear if you take any of my tips I just started by putting this australian gold tinted sunscreen on it's 50 SPF This is so like the best sunscreen I've ever used it has a high UVA protection, which is amazing lays perfectly on my skin So that's what I just put on and then now I'm just gonna run you guys through the rest of that I've been using this concealer for like a long time now. It's lasted me so long This is the Born This Way multi-use sculpting concealer by Too Faced I really like this it matches like my skin tone. So it's not like a brightening effect But I kind of like it like that I don't really like to put too much makeup on like I haven't worn foundation in so long because I always just stick to like a Tinted sunscreen with concealer because I've just been literally digging the natural look lately So that's what we're doing today. So yeah, I just take the concealer Just like literally like that Put some on my nose and then that's basically it and then I blend that out Then I basically just take like the remainder of the concealer on my beauty blender and just like bring that up to my forehead Okay, and then that's really it for the concealer and then after the concealer I go in with this This is by L'Oreal and this is basically supposed to be like a contour slash concealer stick But I just got it in a dark shade so I can contour with it. Yeah, basically Just go like that Put some at the top of my forehead to contour and bronze that and then the other side I've been literally just using cream products on my face recently because I feel like it just It lasts longer in the last row of the day and it also looks a lot more natural So I just take my beauty blender again blend that out I'm gonna tell the story about how me and Joel Mabrio quick If you guys are curious because I got a comment about it and I explained it briefly in the comments But I'm gonna like give you a more full story So we both went to different schools and a few times a year my school like hosts school dances Some of like my friends from my school were friends with his school vice versa And one of the guys in my grade invited some of the guys from Joel's school So Joel came to the dance and that's how we met at the dance And it's funny because I wasn't even going to go to that dance because I had had like a soccer game that day Like a school soccer game and I was just so exhausted and I'm like, oh I don't know if I want to go and my friends are all like no You have to come like it's one of our last dances of the year because I was in grade 11 So I ended up going in this it just like so funny how everything literally worked out Because Joel wasn't supposed to go either But then he ended up getting like a last minute ticket and then yeah, that's how we met now We're here four years later, which is absolutely crazy never settle for anyone You will know when you find the right person and when you find the right person You're not going to doubt anything. That's when you know, you found the right person Just be aware of that and know that y'all are all worthy so never settle I'm just going to go in like just lightly again and then blend this out again. Okay. So now that this is all blended out I like to skip straight to my eyebrows and then do blush. It's really weird. I don't know why I do that This is the eyebrow pencil that I use is from elf. I don't do anything much to my brows But however, I literally just brush them up take like the pencil side. They're just very lightly fill them in There's any sparse areas Does anyone have this problem like my hair is constantly falling out Like it's not only actually like falling out in large amounts But like hair is everywhere man, especially in the bathroom hair is everywhere Oh nice catch Wow Okay, so now what I do is I take the morphe x maddie zekeler blush This is like one of my only blushes I don't really own much makeup to be completely honest like I very minimal makeup The only concealer that I have is the one that I showed you guys I just don't own much which is fine with me because like I'm not a big makeup guru or anything So I take my blush and I put it kind of like that And then I just take this real techniques brush that I've had for like 10 million years And I just blend that blush out I used to not wear blush, but trust me blush is a game changer You guys don't wear it try it out because I didn't want to and I did and I'm like holy shit Like I should have done this years ago. Yeah, so now that my blush is pretty much blended out I'm gonna move on to my eyeliner So I used to use the eyeshadow actually as eyeliner with just like an angled brush But now I use just like this brown anabelle eyeliner does the job I don't know how I do it. I just do it like it's not very good So I'm not gonna give you guys any tips because I really don't know but let's go Okay, so I just did my eyes. So this is like one of my all-time favorite mascaras This is the copper gold clump crusher and then I just obviously curl my lashes and put that on Now I'm literally just going to take some translucent powder with like a tiny ass brush Take some of that and just put it on the sides of my nose here This is where I get the most oily So that's like literally the only part of my face that I really set I usually set my brows with clear brow gel, but I literally can't find my brow gel So just imagine like I did that and then last but not least I'm going to put some lip liner on I just do this very lightly This is just a random lip liner the brand anabelle from the drugstore So I just did that very lightly and then I take my fingers and just like kind of blend it in to my lip And that's literally all that I do and that is going to be my makeup look for the tonight's day night I'm gonna let my hair down. I'm just gonna leave my hair like this puts in some dry shampoo Okay, so that's the hair and the makeup. I literally just brush my hair out fresh and did up I'm just gonna leave it straight and yeah, okay, let's pick out enough and now I think I have an idea of what I want to wear Already because I'm just so excited for today. It's such a beautiful day sending positive vibes your way right now This is really fun getting ready with you guys. I should do this more often Okay, I came into my mom's bathroom because I feel like the lighting it's just superior in here She actually has windows, but I think I'm gonna wear this brown dress from saffl Because we're not doing anything like extravagant. I'm gonna bring you guys along So you'll see what we do, but since it is a beautiful day outside. I'm gonna wear a dress. I think so. Yeah, let's put her on Okay, I really want to do one of those cute like transition moments where you'll snap and then let the dress is on.  It is so freaking cute and I feel like just perfect for the occasion I've been so obsessed with brown lately. I just love the color freaking brown.  I will have this dress linked down below for you guys. Oh my god. This is This dress is literally adorable Okay, maybe I'm gonna like go to my room and add some jewelry with some rings on or something. Yeah, happy anniversary to Okay, so I just put on like some rings.  Okay. Here's the final fit.  Let's go Okay, guys, it's two thirty long story short We had to make so many stops on the way because we're driving Madison and kaisha Somebody sister and her friend we're driving them because they're going away for the weekend So we're driving them to her friend's house and we have to make so many stops along the way because Joel sister just graduated She just passed her nursing exam test. So she's officially graduated. So we just bought her bottle of champagne We're getting her balloon right now and there's just so many stops along the way also starbucks, of course I got an uh a grande. Oh shaking espresso.  It's nice. Okay It's the only one they have cute Okay, you guys so we just got to Ikea I'm here because I really want to buy like a clothing rack and they have one for literally $15 which is so cheap So we're gonna just snatch the clothing rack and then get out of here and continue on with the rest of our day So I think I'm gonna also get hangers because I only have black hangers at home So I kind of want to spice it up for this clothing rack to make it look a little more cute So I think I'm gonna get like two packs of these they also have like white ones But these are like not as nice And then they have black but I already have black so I might as well get like bamboo-ish color Okay, I decided to mix white and bamboo because I didn't see the white like these are like a different type of white They're like a thicker ones than like the last clip that I showed so I'm gonna mix those on the clothing rack And I feel like that will look really good and match my room really well So Oh Got it. I can't wait to set this up when I do my trial halls.  Just a slave. Just my slave. Get this out in a boat Just kidding. That's so bad. He's not my slave. I promise Okay, so basically we literally had to make 10 million stops just to get to this destination We're not even at our final destination yet. Oh my goodness. It's been how long has it been since we left the house? It's been like five hours one 140. It's been three hours since we left the house you guys That's how many stops we made. Oh my goodness, but I'm just relieved that stops are over We got what we needed now. We finally get to enjoy our date The date has begun the date has begun now But my energy is depleted three hours later Um, but now what we're gonna do is we're gonna head to white spot because it's already four o'clock So we're just gonna get dinner. No indoor dining is open here where I live and we want burgers Yeah, and like I don't know what to say like vegan burgers. So we're going to white spot to get the car hop They just came out with their plumpies burgers. So I'm so excited two years ago.  So I was like, oh that must be new. Oh my god Okay, I'm on crack right now apparently anyways, so we're going to white spot now And then we're gonna go like to the beach to the park and watch the sunset and have a good time Now that all the stops are done. So I'll see you guys when we get our food Okay, you guys when you just got to white spot We're not doing like the car thing anymore because of covid It's just like too complicated But they have like an outdoor patio that we can eat at. Um, I ordered the avocado impossible burger So it's like their plant based option. I'm so excited. We're so hungry. I got it with fries I'm so excited and it's also a beautiful day Can't wait. All right you guys so we just finished dinner It was delicious. We were so hungry because we hadn't eaten until breakfast We had oatmeal for breakfast and that's literally a whole lot we ate today So we were ravenous for food. How quick did we eat that? Holy? We literally jumped like we were not in there for more than an hour Oh, are you kidding? We weren't in there for half an hour Yeah, we like got our food and we munched it down in less than 10 minutes I'd say we both guzzled it down and you had a whole milk milkshake too vegan inspired. Let's not forget Yeah, so we're in the park I'm probably gonna change out of the dress once we get there to be honest because it's actually kind of getting more chilly now because the sun is like behind the clouds But if the sun is like not behind the clouds, it's like warm But then once it goes behind the hot the hell once it goes behind the clouds and it gets like chilly Which is right now. So I might have to change into my sweatpants once we get there, but we'll see But yeah, see you guys there Also, I literally forgot to shape my legs because I haven't worn a dress for so long Okay, it's been too long since I wore a dress and my legs aren't shy So it's fine. You can't notice it from far good from far but far from good All right, so just have it into the GPS. Here's our little here's our little route that we have to take It's like 20 minutes away, which isn't that bad, but we're literally going to like the edge of Vancouver here Yeah, so we're going pretty pretty far out here But it's gonna be worth it because I don't think I've ever been there before so it's gonna be cool Okay, let's go Okay guys, so we just got to the park white cliff park I changed because it's actually kind of cold now since we're especially since we're by the water It's kind of chilly. This was really far out. I've never been here before but it looks literally absolutely beautiful So I'm so excited Okay, Joel's currently literally in the porta potty. I got changed again back into my Joel I got changed back into my dress because I forgot Joel I got changed back into my dress because I wanted to take some photos And I totally forgot like I didn't even get a chance to take photos in this So I definitely want to take photos and then I'll change out of it later on But we were like down there and it was pretty warm So I'm totally fine in this for now, but I'm definitely going to change like later You guys were like down the street from the park and the houses are overlooking the water here They're absolutely amazing and beautiful. It's such a gorgeous area here. Oh my god. Just so quiet Yeah, just very peaceful and quiet and you're by the water. It's so nice Yes Okay, so we just finished up at the lookout place. The sun is like just about to set It was absolutely beautiful. You can see literally the Vancouver city that it was so beautiful So we're gonna head home now and I just wanted to do a little bit of a moments with Nikela What's on my mind right now? And I was basically thinking like a lot of our life like we focus on materialistic thing We focus on what house we're gonna buy what car we're gonna buy. We want the best house We want the best car. We want the best designer purse. You know what I mean? And it's like in the end none of our materialistic things are coming with us when we're dead Like we're not bringing anything with us and so many people are focusing more on materialistic things rather than what's inside and Trying to make up for it with like materialistic things and to me that's just kind of sad because in the grand scheme of things The only reason why money exists is because of society like we made money and it really means nothing in the end Like when you die no matter how much money you have it doesn't mean anything because you're not taking any of that Money with you. Obviously we all love our fancy things. You need money to eat You need money to live nowadays, but it's just very easy I feel like to get caught up in that mindset of just caring and observing yourself in Materialistic things. It's so important to realize that that it's not all that matters in life What's in here that really matters and working on yourself working on spreading love and obviously I want to buy a house one day maybe buy a nicer car But I realize that that's not going to bring me happiness in the long term money can buy you temporary happiness I believe it can but in the long term. I don't believe that it can make you happy money can't make you happy Because you decide how you feel and you can change your mindset You're the one who controls that despite having money or not in the end You're the one who controls your mindset and I don't believe that money can forever make you happy in the long term So just remember that in life It's so important not to get caught up in all the materialistic aspects of life and realize that when you die You can't take any of it with you anyways true happiness can only come from with it Because like so many people are like oh if I had this much money I'd be happy But it's like okay. Maybe you'd be temporarily happy But you're never going to be fully fulfilled if you can't find that happiness within yourself first So yeah, that's what I was just kind of thinking of looking at the view I was like is it crazy how literally we created this society with money like in the beginning It was just forced to yell over crazy how it went from that to like money like isn't that weird?  But it's because you gotta find that happiness from within you guys work on yourself But yeah, we're gonna head home. We have about like an hour's drive Okay, that's actually guys later Happy anniversary babe Can be here with you everything's all right


So the next speaker is Arvind Keshav Swami, he runs a software company in Bangalore called Deveta. They make mobile apps. One of the things they're working on is an app that allows you to practice current music through your phone with a girl who is real and working with you.  It's an interesting idea, I hope Arvind speaks for that when it comes to that. But Arvind's expertise is on both iOS and Android. Deveta brings mobile apps on both platforms. And in this session, he's going to begin his comparison and say, let's look at and write from the perspective of where it stands compared to other platforms. But on the other side, this is the other leading platform. Arvind is also the chair of the program committee for Android conference. Arvind is a series of conferences on Android around the world. It started off in Germany. They're now on the fourth year. Then the London edition is also on the fourth year. As of this year, this is an edition in Spain. There's one in Belarus in the eastern side of Europe. And the leading edition is the first outside of Europe. So maybe in the second edition this year, last year, we got about 500 people. And this year, we think in later, but later in the week overall, two days of sessions, three pallet drags, or anything in the damn bag. Arvind's team manage the schedule for the day. So it's their responsibility to understand what is the profile of the audience that's coming in. When you come in as someone who wants to attend a conference, you expect a fewer logical order. And deciding the logical order is what Arvind does. So that's his role in the events organizing. So today, he's going to be talking to you about Android in the context of the mobile ecosystem. Thanks, Kiran. Can I get you a name, please? Yeah, fine. So, well, I live in Bangalore now. I share a Chennai boy. I'm going to be in the Gopalapur, not Gopalapur. So I'm growing up in the 80s, early 90s here in Bangalore. I share a Chennai. Bangalore is the hottest place to be. It's the mall to come to, to hand out, to be seen and seen with kids from most of the colleges we have had. And it's amazing to me coming here and giving out some more after almost 15, 20 years. You see, this is a hotbed now for startups. So I think just the guys are running the startups. I think you're doing an amazing job. And also the guys here that has geek. See, I moved back to India about 10 years back from the States. There were a few startups there. I helped one of the startups there. I set up an India office here. And one of the things I have done 10 years back, right, was really hard in India. We have conversations with tech people and people in startups to discuss ideas, to bump things off and learn. So 10 years back, most young people, this was a world broad and they wanted to get on site and think there was a big space there. But the fact that you guys are here, I'm in Chennai on a rainy Saturday afternoon to come here and discuss jobs and enjoying the green. So first of all, thank you to all of you. And thank you to the tech guys. They're doing a good, credible job of just bringing together tech people. So in keeping with the startups, start tech conferences, I'm just going to be talking today about new mobile frontiers. And quickly, I want to ask people here. Just want to ask you a few things which is raise your hands. Tell me how many of you have filmed Android apps here? Excellent. Very good. And a few people who have iOS apps as well, or mobile apps as well. Excellent. Very good. So thank you guys. I'll sort of try to keep this a little interactive. I might sort of warn you guys we're going to both speak back as we sort of go on through this. Part of the objective of the session like this is so that you guys know what people are doing out here in the local ecosystem as well. And you know, this platform is like drawing con, which is happening in Nalanga. We're going to encourage people here in Chennai as well to come forward to come speak for things that you're doing to share our learnings. Since what point is this sort of community vibrant by learning from each other within the Indian context here? And to build our work together and to share it into those various companies that are either doing services or building our own products. And I think we have a lot to learn from each other as we do. So some of these things which many of you here are quite familiar with if you're closing into the mobile world but I'll cover them properly anyway. But first, just a quick question. Can anyone here guess of all the smart phones that sold worldwide in Q1 this year? What percentage of these phones were Android phones? Just a rough percentage. 60, 50, 60. 60? Close. I don't think so. Excellent shot. There you go. So let's get close to 55. And so what's remarkable about this, right, is you compare the numbers from 2011 up to 2012. The Android market share jumped from 36% up to 56%. So that's a pretty remarkable leap, right? And you can see enough of this on TV, you see ads for Samsung phones and others on TV, right? So the point I made here is you don't even need to be a mobile developer. You just can't be more of an Android anymore. It's just exploding. 56% today. This number a year from now who knows what it could be. So as a platform, you can no longer even if you're building websites. Clearly enough companies are talking about how mobile at first needs to be the strategy. Even if you're building a website, you've got to think about Android at first going forward. And another factor here is just operating system versions, right? So for people who have been around sort of building old desktop apps in 15 years back, if you're familiar with all the complexities of dealing with different operating system versions and complexity that brings. And a lot of that's there in Android too. And if you look at these percentages, right? These are the... So we get a problem here in Android versions are sort of as particularly named. So we have Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream, Jelly Bean. This is sort of the order in which Google names them. And the point that I'm trying to make here is Gingerbread, which is now a couple of years old, is still more than half of the Android operating system. There's a number of reasons in this case. Part of it is the OEMs when shipping out updates to the older phones.  But the complexity this brings in, right, is for an Android developer, you sort of need to think about it and say, you know what, should I be targeting the old phones out there, right? And to have things work in compatibility mode and either progressively degrade, you know, functionality that you make available based on device capabilities or should we print out some of the newer phones? Right? And Ice Cream Sandwich, which was released late last year, is still only one quarter of the total number of Android OS out there. So while this number is increasing, right, if you compare this with iOS, that's an example, most Android users upgrade to the latest OS within a month or two of it being available. So 80% of iOS users are on the latest version of iOS. Now Android developers, we just don't have the budget, right? We've still got half of the older versions. Here's another chart which sort of shows a trending line over the last several months. Since Ice Cream Sandwich started up here on a lot of newer phones and since Jeremy came out, then you can start to see more and more people are getting on to 4.0. But this is a huge chunk. That's not 2.0. Number of Cadillac is this slide that represents percentages. It's not absolute numbers, right? So in reality, I mean, these numbers probably haven't changed a lot. Because Android 2.0 is still on Android 2.0 and I haven't got a brain. It's just the total numbers of 4.0 to the 2.3 are probably in the heights. Now, similar to all the issues we face with different browser versions that we spoke about earlier today's meeting, a lot of this complex-based compute exists on Android 2.0. And just to, you know, these weren't enough. There's also complexities around size and density. And so the first one is respect to the phone sizes itself. It's physical size. And Google classifies these into small, normal, large, and extra large. So the small phones are with LG Optimus or 240 size phones. The normal size phones would be kind of closer to your 3.2 inch size phones. And then we have the larger size phones, which would be like Galaxy Note and others that you see, even holding it, but please, more like a larger brick, but, you know, it's not larger. And then you've got the extra large phones which are closer to the tablet class, if you will. And let me show you the size. You've got density to worry about, right? Since iOS Apple came out with their Latina phones, increasingly one and more than Android manufacturers are going into the XHDPI category, coming out with very high pixel density. So you could have a phone that's, you know, just 2 to 3 inches in size in the future, but its resolution could be 2,000 by 1,000 in the future. And you need to deal with it. You need to plan for all the pixels. Your artwork will need to be ready for that. So increasingly, right? These things are shifting. There's clearly a trend towards XHDPI. You start to see more and more of XHDPI in the future. Whether the start to see more of large versus small versus normal is still not totally clear. It's clear that I think in last year Android tablets didn't do that, right? Motorola Zoom came out and it was a disaster. The Galaxy Tab was okay, right? Until Apple started to sue them. And then just with the summer, since the Nexus 7 has come out and it's got a fantastic price point, it's pretty clear that the tablet's face is going to change quite a bit in Android. So I think we can start to expect a lot more growth with the extra-large side of this price. So one of the things I want to convey here is, you know, I hope that the Android developers talk about fragmentation and how it causes so much pain. The thing is, you know, we've got to stop the playing about it. Android is more fragmentation. And fragmentation is sort of the second side of the coin which is a beautiful diversity that Android offers. The fact that you have the power of choice to be able to choose from a whole wide variety of forms of different sizes and you can pick and choose what you're buying is a beauty, a diversity, and a freedom that will confuse you. And fragmentation isn't going away. It's something we should plan for, figure out what the best practice is all to deal with it and how the approach it makes from targeting making certain phone sizes to certain phone resolutions and then taking a certain approach in the right way. Now, here's just another quick data point, right, which is just data from the OpenSignalMatch app. So, what OpenSignalMatch, that is, they have data from all their users and put it together under infographic which shows you what percentage of the users use devices from each of the hardware vendors. And as you can see, Samsung's a clear winner, right? I mean, there's more than half the forms of their name in the Android world which are all Samsung. Much further behind, come in HTC, SEMC, here at Sony AXL, and then there's Motorola. Now, there's a whole bunch of other Android manufacturers out there from Motorola, from China, from India, and so on, but they have a much smaller percentage. The clear leader with respect to profits is Samsung. In the other hand, they're much, much further behind. Now, how does this happen to you as an app developer? I think when you plan to make those choices with respect to which devices you want to test out your app on, you can easily pick Samsung, because both of the users have it. Now, where does it matter if I can use the app? Let's put stuff within our rounds. Now, obviously, each OEM round on top of it adds little nuances, the keyboard behavior is pretty different, little things that you need to work with, but you need to play with it. But having a sense of what this distribution is, lets you plan and apply your app for those fragmentation problems. So, you have an idea of what your target user is, like which devices they're using, and you can make some choices. So, pick a couple of Samsung devices and then sort of choose the main HTC so that it's more roll-out of what you're going to do. And once you've got an 80% case covered, you can kind of go from there once you get to some critical mass with respect to user base. So, let's see what we're talking about in monetization. And I sort of want to make this a little interactive. I'd love to hear you guys sort of talk about your apps, what your approach to monetization is, what your approach to monetization has been, and any challenges you've had around the way. I'm just going to quickly share just general insights, things that I've heard, my experience, things that I've heard from people, replicating your thoughts to on it. Of course, iOS, right? Two thirds of Android users don't actually pay for apps. There's been a lot of documentation around there, people that remember the surveys. In general, most of the Android users prefer free apps, but in most cultures, prefer free apps. That's not a joke, that's not a lie about it. But there's, I think, there's a bit more of a tendency in Android where to sort of go with a free app versus thinking about going with a paid app. So, the challenges poses for developers are how do you monetize this, right? And this ultimately is a small set of monetization models that can go with a mobile platform, unless you've got a service that you're running which expands out to the web and other platforms that you can monetize as well. So, paid apps, they appear to be a good monetization model for you, right? There's only so far you can go with them. You can look at advertising-based models, right? But from every one app spoken to, in general, CPM is the highest for the iPad. They're sort of a lot lower for the iPhone, and then Android is a little further behind it. CPM is a little higher if you put an app that has a media, right? It's not less satisfied the apps and things like that. So, while it's a model, especially with Android, here you've got much more scale that you can get out of it. Just honestly, the number of Android users is high, right? And if you're building an app for India, right, much more Android users in India than Apple users. That number is just really growing given that Apple's pricing media's are taking this way, right? So, that number that we're going to go up and I think just in terms of the sheer number, India and China have a lot of opportunity there, right? Just a number of users to get these models that you can look at. So, it's not really possible in India if you're here, but not Android apps, if you have any stories you want to share about monetization models, if you might do it now, that's fine. I'd love to hear from you guys if you have any feedback, things that you guys are doing. I think the font here is a little small, so I just want you to take this piece out. This is about in-app purchase. So, if you're familiar with in-app purchase, right? In-app, for the certain things you can buy within the app. So, people can try the app and then certain modules, like for instance, if it's a game, you can unlock a certain level of pain more. Or if you're buying an app that has music, the app itself could be free with some tracks free, and then you could buy additional music tracks. So, in-app purchase, right? Clearly over the last couple of years, it's become a more popular model through which an app isn't purely an ad-driven. You can monetize it either by tech people or, you know, you can turn on ads if you pay so much or unlock or subscribe traditional things by paying so much. Now, with this, right? Some stats have shown that 22% of the people if they like an app right in the first session, they go ahead and make an in-app purchase. So, that's about 22% of people. But, 33% of them go through between two to nine sessions with the app before they actually are going to purchase it. And 44% of people use the app at least 10 times before they're willing to pay to buy anything. So, the thing is, user engagement is important, right? Two, three years back in the mobile space, you could build if you could be a part-app if it's a little funny and you'd get away with it because it's better to buck out to a traditional entertainment fact. Those are the robots, right? So, now we're in 2012, and users are looking for something that is quite a sustained value in some way. People are a lot more concerned not more than apps that are popular of their apps free. So, if you're coming out with an app that's new, that's different, it still needs to resonate with the user. So, driving this, you know, average number of daily users, monthly users is a big deal. The same sort of tracking you would do with websites starts to become just as relevant. And apps no longer are standalone. The main role of app developers a couple of years back is just build on an app put it out there and try to monetize it. And that equals to a strange approach. Now, with respect to monetization, let's give you a second view of how this is connected. Well, this whole native version of this came out by debate. There's a lot that's talked about it if you guys are probably familiar with it. I just wanted to share some of my experiences and thoughts that I've had. I wanted to give you thoughts too. I'd like to share some of the things that you guys have done. So, clearly, right? I mean, mobile apps are a bit popular. People are growing in energy. So, in the days with desktop apps back in early 90s, you know what, there's just a flag, people will build these apps for a year or two and then it's done and move back to the web. And let's just step back to see how this whole mobile app thing happened. So back in 2007, right, when Apple launched the iPhone, initially they did not offer SDK for native apps. Actually, all they offered was the web SDK. So people could build web-based apps and they really were pushing extremely hard to build a key part of building a web kit and everything else. So, but there's a huge approach in developers in that time who said, you know what, no, it's not going to happen on the web. It's difficult and web connections are slow. We want a native SDK. And then six months after the iPhone was launched, Apple was informed that they're providing a native SDK. And the unusual thing that happened is two things happened. One, people just took off more than anyone expected to. And people started building apps in the sediment race, right? So the whole native ecosystem just moved. Now, since then, one, the networks have gotten a whole lot better, with things like an E, 4G, all over the place. Two, HTML5 and CSS3. The types of things people are doing today are just some of the folks to demonstrate even before this session are increasingly completely changing the need to build native apps. So, where earlier people looked at things like Flash, to build their apps would be responsive and work in a consistent way across different browsers and different operating systems, more or less now have big issues with them. Now, however, you know, this is sort of one of those questions people often ask me. It doesn't mean that a couple of years down the road, we'll never need native apps. And it's always hard to say, right? It's like, all those questions of when the TV came out, would people stop visiting the radio? Right? We still visit the radio and still watch TV. We've got a whole bunch of different news sources. So, some of these things might exist and they may be relevant in certain scenarios. And I just wanted to talk through some of those since I think the area where we use one versus the other as things to happen and the talk process behind it is quite significant. So, in my experience my experience it makes sense in choosing a native approach. And just to clarify, when I say native it doesn't make exclusive environments without them. You could be using both in conjunction, using a web page, right? You might choose to build out a native app and container share with some things that are being built with your native modules and some things that are using a web view and web pages and either local web pages or a remote web page using HTML, time management, fire, or that sort of approach. Now, do you mean that you're looking to tap into a lot of inherent device capabilities? Do you think that if you were an app that's an augmented reality app obviously it makes the most sense to be completely native? You're trying to tap into device capabilities that will be a lot slower and in some cases it's just not feasible at all to do well across. Second, now the nature of mobile devices, right? There's been a lot of spend like you're in the elevator you just quickly open a Facebook, check your status, you turn it off, you go back. So the attention span of those users is very small. We pretend to use these mobile apps for a minute or two in between and don't often use them on a sustained basis versus when you're back in a desktop or laptop we use Facebook for about 10, 15 hours maybe more to the view. But what I'm trying to say is the need for having a design is a response for the user to quickly put it pretty much where they left it when they stopped using the app earlier and building it in such a way it was interactions are quick. It's a big deal. So the challenge most mobile apps developers have had is building these apps with their views which you can find at times as responsive as this was in the app and using it to get it straight. Now while something is changing, right? I think it's still a good idea to think about areas within your app where the user might and see if you want to go native with those especially around navigation because especially on a navigation user's frustration can be if it doesn't feel like a UI's response. So overall navigation scheme it's with the key buttons within the app and things where the revision indicated often I feel that's useful to stick to keeping these pieces moving. The third piece is they don't automate people refer this whole native experience and there's a number of libraries out there. I think one of the earliest people referenced 4GaP and a titanium app separator there's Kirin there's a bunch of other libraries, platforms there's DK out there that try to offer your super bulletin says use these and you can have a common core base that focuses on different platforms that focus on just certain core areas of business that you need to build up and all of these have limits and especially having an enterprise app space has a lot of value since I think they fit the pattern of enterprise apps quite a bit where I think just the UI patterns are a little more simpler and I think it fits better but with some of the consumer apps when people look at an on-off controller or a slider they expect the same experience that they have from Google's apps or from Apple's apps and if you put the UI paradigm in your app in other words you aren't trying to build a web-based app which looks like a native app you're probably okay because user expectations aren't the same but if you try to mimic it and the user sees that you know what what you're building doesn't feel in data users tend to get a little frustrated so I think that's another decision point that I think is often relevant now where do you sort of need to estimate I think one is it's a speaker I think as one of these other speakers said you know a web-skills are commoditized while building good web apps it's still hard and requires people with people skills it is easier to get developers after-speed and building apps with HTML5 with JavaScript and less in CSS versus Objective-C and no matter what you say Objective-C other functional is probably more functional in nature than JavaScript without building apps but it still isn't okay in some of the motions that it uses and the medic says it uses and going out and building software with Objective-C and export this hard although Apple's done a good job of taking memory management out of the equation it's still this difficult but it's still Android right building lots of these apps with Java can feel a little you know you can get sort of a feel if you've got to be so much easier right and in some of these cases just the speed of being able to build this web with HTML5 is great right and you've got two choices with the web either you can have these HTML5 pages built and then put them in the app or you can have it delivered more you can bridge the pages you can catch some of the pages add a remote web page load local resources with a whole bunch of clips you can have and go to Apple and offer a link to that bridge through which you can share objects between Java and the Java side or between Objective-C and the Java side iOS as well and ultimately while both of that companies sort of need to work in an engineering cycle I've got a month long sprint cycle and I hope to build it up really most web companies use much shorter cycles right you probably do a one week cycle and might do it and it releases that sort of which is a couple of times and with HTML5 we have an opportunity to integrate a lot more so you can release early you can release often and go through the cycles a lot more and there's just several things that I think the web does that much better than native both in iOS and Android and especially when it's moving layouts more different ways text inhibitors it's just so much more work you do natively on either iOS or Android but these things are much more much better and those challenges of getting different different device sizes and their layouts are even a bit the fragments that Google provided since the last it's decade at least it still puts a lot of work on the development whereas doing these things with CSS like media queries simplifies various aspects in those so I think you know I think the bottom line maybe is it's not one size but it's all I don't think you can say you know what if a shiva guy is best or maybe it's best we've got to look in use cases in the app you need to look at and say you know what there are some portions where all you're doing is you're rendering things to meet display there's no user attraction if there's no user attraction I think it's a great candidate for a shiva guy if there's areas of users interacting with it a lot I think that's a good case looking at it or is it something very important sort of longer cycle so I think it's not one size it's all I think it's a mix of both and I don't think maybe that's a very good idea soon but I think clear indication that the trend let's go with a shiva guy with all of these it makes more sense to invest your engineering resources there and trend when it makes more sense so user feels at home on the mobile platform that he's used to like if I'm a user I'd like to have to feel at home not like a webpage if I'm an iOS user I'd like to have like an iOS app and I'd like to feel at home when it costs some of the time so I can keep on with being on such a team going there no brawn is going before that's the first thing that I'm doing with sorry thank you sorry but keeping the team today Android is being used in places that we would never ever imagine people are using it in robots people are using it in televisions people are using it in fridges there's an app which Yahoo recently came out that I acquired by the company which built this where you can just set up your phone you can provide this app to the TV and turn on the TV and start to watch your favorite channel and the app and the figure out which TV channel you're watching which TV show you are watching and give you information about the TV show the characters so the types of things people are doing with Android today are just amazing it's being used in a number of different areas and I think the sort of opportunities we have in a way to the ecosystem it doesn't work one of my friends he's working on a startup in Bangalore where they can come up with tablets in the education space for teachers and children and they can source a low cost Android tablet from a Chinese manufacturer who is willing to give them a great tablet for roughly about 2,000 or 3,000 rupees and they don't get a cheap tablet I mean a good responsive tablet with a screen and everything else so the fact is the device the hardware piece of it is so commoditized you can get really cheap hardware and if you can build good software on top of Android the potential and the things you can do with this huge smart homes you can imagine Android running in your French in your poster in your electricity meter so that you know exactly how electricity used to be used what's in all of the neighborhoods in your apartment and everyone else over here they compare the potential is huge it's mind boggling and a lot of these demos have actually been coming together ad write-on so last year at write-on one of the engineers demoed a robot on stage nothing I do know so this year is likely I think with this one session proposal was discovered and has been funded for write-on but I was looking to show in it coming with an Android app there's a pretty interesting app demo that we have on write-on so that's my shameless product for write-on because you guys should look at the write-on site and see what's coming up I thought I would give you guys just some trivia something right here something right here yeah what a case right but this data from Google just makes some people accessing the Google Play Store that's very much I'm just going to record it for a time zone record for a time zone yes absolutely a lot of wizards just popular this place here see if you guys can identify as who this person is a little clue a little bit of a legend around him but he did not influence Apple actually I'm a wizard we want to have a second we should have others go on anybody my question is Alan Turing very good Alan Turing it's 100 years with Alan Turing a man who gives a Turing machine mathematical models that I think have since then it has come out with all these beautiful devices all over the place 100 years of Alan Turing and the little legend of Alan Turing is that he committed suicide Alan Turing was gay he committed suicide after a lot of persecution in Britain back then and he ate that nice apple and one bite of an apple there's a bit of urban legend about influencing the Apple logo with the Turing machine for the next session so and we have anything else I think the mobile space has just changed so much it's hard to predict where things will go I think it's been incredibly exciting I welcome all of you for going on and those of you who are a part of mobile ecosystem here in Commonwealth for our session I think it's a great opportunity to share what people are doing and develop with each other and you know I think in the next one year we'll see a lot of new things in the space with the Windows 4 coming out the new updates are coming out later this year should I think open it up potentially it's proved to be a challenge to Android as well it's something we need to wait and see but I think it's an exciting year so same receipts there's a great talk for ISM coming up right after this


On December 13, 2023, a mutual handover of servicemen took place at the section of the Azerbaijan-Armenia border passing through the Ghazakh district. No incidents were recorded during the process, according to the State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons. Two servicemen of Azerbaijan-Khuzian akhund of an action Babarov were released by Armenia during the process. The Azerbaijani side handed over 32 persons of Armenian origin to the opposite side, after the health conditions of the Armenian servicemen detained on the Azerbaijani side were checked by the International Committee of the Red Cross and deemed satisfactory. They were handed over according to the relevant agreement. It should be noted that on December 7, following the talks between the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, an agreement was reached on taking tangible steps towards building confidence between the two countries. Driven by the values of humanism and as a gesture of goodwill, the Republic of Azerbaijan released 32 Armenian servicemembers. In its turn, driven by the values of humanism and as a gesture of goodwill, the Republic of Armenia released two Azerbaijani military servicemen.


This one was the Glaber Torah show a career high four hits two home runs four runs batted in and they were big in big spots Yes, there were the Yankees had a couple of big innings in this game today One of them the four-run outbursts fueled by that three-run home run by Glaber torus that gave them the lead It just you can see what type of player the Yankees traded for here This guy looks like he's gonna be an all-star for many years to come He was last year in his rookie year Looks like he's gonna try and do that every single year and it does tell you something when a Youngster steps up in a big spot because with the Yankees down four to one Then they get a run back four to two for him to hit that three-run home run The Yankees could ill afford to get another loss and then have that losing creeping into their brain again So that when the first game of the series so that really does qualify as a huge hit Yeah, huge turnaround for the Yankees today, too as you mentioned the fact is they struck out 18 times against the Detroit Tigers Yesterday the offense was not clicking they come down the Baltimore Roughly 200 miles south of New York City and the bats come alive and I'll tell you what the Yankees hit home runs That's what they do 267 of them last year and that's an all-time record for major league team and when the Yankees don't hit home runs They struggle they hit four today for today and that's in their DNA The Yankees have always been known for their power going back to the days of Babe Ruth and they showed me They hit the ball like Babe Ruth did today


What an unbelievable tackle again from Cook, who's risen from the lower divisions to trade blows with the very best. Standing defending. Standing defending. He's put his body on the line.


We are very excited to be here this morning with my entourage, we are just coming from Honduras and we vow that we will attend these trade services today. We want to apologize for coming late. We started off from Honduras late and we had to take our time because of the condition of the road between Honduras and Coway. Nevertheless, we are here and I'm very excited that we have attended these trade services. And the message from our bishop, it is a very encouraging message and that is our message bishop and the way we came in, that is not the way we are going to call out because we have benefited a lot from your message bishop. In the paper corporate of life church, I have saved just as classed as my best son of savior in 1997, so I'm going to be one again Christian. To many of you, you know me at the political scene.

Well we're Dave and Chris Coulson, we're from Durham, Maine, and we've been farming here in Durham since 1982. I started the farm with my parents in 1982. We started marketing in 83, and we've been marketing chiefly to restaurants and natural food stores ever since then. We're cultivating 12 acres, three and a half acres are in vegetables, the rest are in green manure rotations for soil fertility. All of our produce goes off farm. We deliver to the Portland area twice a week, and that makes it easier for us to schedule the rest of the week for harvesting two days a week, and cultivating, maintaining the fields, the crops. Currently we've got two natural food stores and about five restaurants that we deliver to. In addition we've added a couple of food buying clubs or food co-ops to take the place of one very large cooperative natural food store which closed last year. We started marketing going to farmers markets back in the early days, and my dad did a lot of the actual farmer's market selling. He didn't like sitting at farmer's market, he's an active kind of guy, and we found by the end of the market prices were dropping, and we didn't feel like we were getting the price that we needed to get for our vegetables. So my dad knocked on a couple back doors of health food stores and knocked on the door of a couple restaurants that we knew chefs of, and they were all eager to take the produce, so we have been marketing pretty much the restaurants since then. We felt that for the quality and the type of vegetables that we were growing, which in some ways are probably a little bit unusual for a lot of people, especially when you get in originally into the mescaline salad mixes, what we were looking for was an educated consumer, and we found that the chefs were about as educated of food consumers as we could find. We've noticed the chefs talk to each other, our names will be passed around, and one of the best ways we've found to pick up restaurant accounts is with the culinary herbs, having fresh culinary herbs. We sometimes will deliver just culinary herbs to a restaurant for a period of time, and then they will suddenly discover that, oh, we're growing lettuce and other things as well. So that's a great way to get your foot in the door. There were a few things that we tried that didn't really work out for us. We tried marketing to some larger outlets, colleges, stores and whatnot, bigger restaurants. We found that when we had to work through a purchasing agent that they weren't working directly with the food, they didn't see the quality that they were getting and were basically concerned only with the bottom line. When you work with an owner-chef, you have someone that's working with the food that knows what they're getting for their dollar and is willing to pay for it. Some of the things that we've found to be important in dealing with the chefs particularly and also with the stores is to make sure you let them know when you have something available and follow through with the phone calls. Don't wait for them to call you for an order, but take the initiative and have a regular schedule so that they know when you're going to call and that you are going to call. We have regular delivery days so they know exactly when the produce is coming in and when we agree to deliver something to them, we deliver just that item in the amount that they asked for. If there is a problem, we can't get something, we've overestimated, then we call them back as soon as possible and let them know what's happening. It's that communication that we've found to be the biggest point in our marketing. Over a period of time when you work with a dozen or so chefs or buyers, you build up a personal relationship with them and that personal relationship is really what makes the marketing click. A few years ago we decided to get a computer for the kids homework but realized that we could use an accounting program for the farm. This accounting program not only generates the invoices but it also keeps track of how many pounds of broccoli, heads of lettuce, etc. we've sold over the season. At the end of the year we can then look at which crops we benefited from and which crops we need to drop. The other information we can get from this program is which customers bought over our minimum amount dollars wise and then we can plan the next season's customer list based on that program information. I'm not a business person, I'm not an expert in marketing and I wouldn't even have predicted that I would be in this position in a business. I tend to think of myself more as a creative artsy person. I guess I'm really a people person too because it's those contacts I've made over the years that I really value and I feel that we are loyal to our customers and they are loyal to us.


We could pick Hitler, we could just pick your everyday run of the mill mass murderer. Maybe they have exterminated millions or whatever, but they've wiped out 25. And they have this sense of guilt. They've taken lives, they've murdered. And there's a judgment going on around the behavior that they actually believe they've killed. Although in Lucie we learned nobody ever dies anyway. It's just a misperception. Even that the cows nearby are going into the slaughterhouse and that there's killing going on a matter of meters from this place where we are now. It's a misperception. Because again, when we think we've done things wrong or we think we've not done things that we should have done that's where the guilt's coming in. But you see, the guilt is projected to the behaviors. The guilt is attributed to these behaviors, wrongdoings. And I'll tell you right now, it's an ontological guilt. The only guilt in the mind is a choice for the perspective of wrong-mindedness. You can actually choose again. You can be trained to see everything with the Holy Spirit through the miracle and it won't matter what the form is. It won't matter what the form was because the form was a misperception and the guilt is attributed to a misperception. So I think that's practical. That's what Graham was saying. Those things come up. When you do these healing seminars, healing workshops, then you can notice there's still these haunting ideas that something was done wrong or something could have been different, could have been better. What we were joining in the car is that it's an amazing perspective that everything has always been working together for the good and you just didn't know it. That self, that is identifying with the era, with the less in the mind that I have done something wrong and I need to now correct. That is still trying to solve the problem at the level of the problem and even the expression that questions come up a lot. Do I have to say these exact words to this certain person that I have this grievance with? Well, that self that believes that they have done something wrong and made the grievance. That self is what needs to be forgiven. So taking the action from the place of the identification with guilt, it's not going to work. It's the forgiveness in the mind. It's giving over that identification and that misperception over is where the innocence is experienced and even the guidance from the spirit comes, yes, that is worse. It's coming from a source that is true rather than trying to solve the problem. The focus that Jesus says, what you do comes from what you think. So it is with your thoughts that we must work. You see how important it is. When Jesus says it's mind training, he's really not joking. He's really saying, oh yeah, you do need mind training. You have a lot of attack thoughts in your mind. Your mind is upside down. We're going to have to flip it around to where it's bathed in light and you think only the thoughts with God. That's a big turnaround. Yeah, I think someone mentioned in my group which is a really good point, like what is the difference of coming here and just watching some of the YouTube clips back home. I want to say that the reason is everything is so orchestrated by the spirit. The fact that you're coming here, everything that is happening and everything that you have is an actual opportunity to see what is underneath and to actually release them. It's not a hypothetical situation anymore.   And all the things that's coming up, perceptions, guilt, suddenly all these little scenarios that's happening, it's all actually to help because of the call and because the spirit is behind all of it. So that's what I really want to say that you are somehow a very big part of this and things are happening not by accident. The awakening, as I was saying earlier, doesn't have to be long and drawn out, but how many of you were able to see that movie Inception? It was a very good movie because it's the first time I've seen a movie that was using the metaphor of dreaming and architects and building worlds and building environment, but it actually brought in the concept of the layers of dreaming, like layer upon layer upon layer, like five, six, seven layers, and that the whole amnesia of forgetting love and light and God is a defense against that love is dreaming. And then the best way to really guard against that light from the ego's perspective is to forget that you're dreaming. In other words, to have defense mechanisms and then forget that you made them up and forget that it's all a dream. So it's the opposite of lucid dreaming where you're completely aware that you're dreaming. The first major obstacle really that you're going to have to uncover in your mind as you approach the light is that you've got to come closer and closer to seeing that you're the dreamer of the dream. You've got to come closer to lucid dreaming. You have to come closer to awareness of dreaming, of just seeing that the world is not an actual objective world that's outside of you that has a physical reality but that it's actually a dream. And then the more you're aware that you're the dreamer of the dream you may even seem to have more control over some bits and pieces. People tell me they love their flying dreams because they don't get to do it much during the day, these kind of dreams. So they go into there and they like to fly because it's a symbol of more freedom. So I was flying all over the place and David you were with me and we were flying together and you were telling me all their flying dreams because it's a symbol of more freedom. Actually I went to bed the other night two or three nights ago but the first time I was staying to see his house over in the what they call the add-on room. The annex. The annex. I was over in the annex. There was no water or there was no running water and everything and I was dreaming and I was like I was dreaming, dreaming and in my dream I was like oh I'm thirsty and I thought but this room has no no liquids or anything and then in my dream I'm thinking but it's my dream. I said it can't affect if I wanted to have you know and so I was there I was dreaming and then thirsty and I said I don't know and I said no I've been through the whole room and there's no liquid in there and then I said no there has to be I want there to be so I went over and it was dark and I let my hand go and there was a can of Sprite and I was like ah there it is I knew this this is cool didn't want to go out of my shorts in the rain but it's just a symbol of oh no this is a dream this is a dream you know it's loosens your mind from thinking that it's just like you're stuck you're stuck in some kind of situation or some kind of thing where you don't have what you need isn't that a common ego tactic oh my life would be so much better if I had this or I had that where I wasn't stuck in this job or I wasn't stuck in this relationship or if I had a relationship in my dream where are you dream partner I know you're out there you know it's it's this thing like all would be wonderful if something was different in the dream but if you've forgotten that you're dreaming and now you think you're a dream figure just at the mercy of a massive world a massive cosmos that seems outside of you that's where you get into this feeling of feeling like a victim that's when you feel helpless so you see how practical this healing is and how practical this course of miracle is is it's telling you you're not going to wake up from the dream that you're not even aware that you're dreaming you have to first work towards forgiveness and all that forgiveness will show you actually is that you are the dreamer of the world of dreams that's what Jesus says you are the dreamer of the world of dreams no other cause does it have forever will isn't that great to know what the big lesson is the only lesson that there is to get in this whole world is one thing that you are the dreamer of the dream why is that so important because Jesus says you can't change the purpose for the dream until you are aware that you're dreaming isn't that important when the world was made in hate do you want to continue on believing that you're just a figure in a dream that was made in hate that's going to be a lot of victimization that's going to be a lot of mistreatment but if you can get back in your mind far enough by just clearing your unconscious mind and doing your forgiveness lessons and you can see that you're the dreamer of the dream here comes the Holy Spirit new purpose happy dream time fun joy love laughter the Holy Spirit has a new purpose for the world but you can't accept it as long as you deny that you're the dreamer you can't accept it as a person I can't say okay I'm David I'm David I want a happy dream give David a happy dream the way it's supposed to be David is just a figure in a dream David's not going to ever have a happy dream your mind can and you see you're dreaming it but David's not going to ever have a happy dream you see how that works how could you be a figure in a dream that's not even real and be happy the whole dream was made out of hatred every fabric in that dream is his hatred you know on some roads you travel gaily for a while before the darkness fear enters but we all know we've had enough experience with Planet Earth we know we know it's dark there's got to be another way we know that

A typical case is that of Lagos, where we are looking towards using our waterways for transportation. We also, about adversity like birds, the greater birds also depend on the wetlands. And some of our wetlands are also used for agricultural purposes, especially when you plant rice, especially the swamp rice. And so these are part of the functions that wetland ecosystem provides for humans across the globe, with a lot of human beings depending on wetlands for livelihood. So for a place like Lagos, we want us to look at how wetlands will solve traffic jams. Every year, when the rain starts, you can be rest assured that the travel time increases. But our wetlands, which is supposed to be used to deflood our roads, are saturated, are used for other purposes. By increasing the man-hour laws that the typical negotiation observed, we also need to look at our wetlands as it affects strategic transportation. Those are things we have to think about. More importantly, our livelihood. How do we harness the full resources of an aquatic state like Lagos in order to boost a fish production in such a way that we become a major global reference? These are strategic things that as people, as government, we look at policy, we look at strategic action plan. And more importantly, educating the public on why the wetlands are still useful and it's very important in a mega-city like Lagos.
