Hello guys! Welcome back to another auto game tutorial video. Oh wow, it's been a really long time since I've uploaded it. I am terribly sorry for this delay. Some corruption stuff has been going on. I lost some pre-recorded videos and kind of lost a little bit of motivation but I promised myself that I would never give up and I've been really busy too with hockey, job, with work, real life stuff and working on my own game as well. So I've been really busy and kind of decided to just not worry about it for now since the other videos are doing good. But I feel like that I need to stay up to date with my videos, with my recap that I provided. So today we're going to be doing as I promised my episode 10 if it'll load. We'll be doing canvas group tabs, menus, etc. So the purpose of this is to make the main screen cleaner and to separate stuff. This is really important for when you're adding if you want to have a different page of a sub game I guess with different currencies and stuff and you don't want it running in the background then this will be the way to go. So before I get started, if you want to use less RAM or less of your phone power or whatever you're using to run the game, my suggestion is to use something called. So you have your object, so we'll just make an image real quick called example image and we'll use a class called game object and then we'll use a method called set active that we're this is not working because we're we'll do it here. So game object dot set active, which is the method and we put a Boolean inside. If you if it was true, it would enable the object right here.  This is true right now. If we set it false, it'll run just like this. Nothing in this will work.  Because this whole object is just not there. The script is not there. If you turn it on, it's working. See, we can disable the script to do the same thing. But that's not what we're doing. If you don't want to do that, if you don't want to disable your scripts that you have inside the game object, there's an alternative solution, which I'm going to show you. This is basically the easy solution. This one's a little more complex solution. So I'm going to make an empty object. We're going to call this the main screen. And we're going to separate them into two. We're going to have a main screen. And we're going to have an upgrade screen. All right. So all of our main screen stuff will go in here. All this upgrades will go in upgrades. So I'm going to make sure I have all my upgrades right here. I toggle them off. Oh, yep, there's all my upgrades. I'm going to drag them to the upgrade screen. And there I go. And for now, we'll leave the prestige on the main screen. So we'll get everything else except for the currencies. So the click button and the prestige button will go on the main screen. This right here is basically the header. So why not? Let's just make a header object. So we'll make create empty. We'll call this header. And we'll put everything inside this. There you go. So now if you turn on and off, that's our header. You can add an image if you really wanted to to make this stand out from everything else. Oh, yeah, another thing before you drag this in, make sure you position your thing to where you want your stuff to be. And you can change the color, drag all the stuff in here. And I'm going to anchor this to the top of the screen. So whenever you change resolutions, it will follow. It won't move down. And I'm going to change all the colors of the text to the background. So we get good contrast. There you go. So now we have three objects. We have a header main screen and an upgrade screen. For the main screen, we're going to add something called a campus group. And we're going to do the same for the upgrade screen. So by default, we have the alpha set to one, the interactable set to true and block recast sets to true ignore parent groups. I've never used it before. I don't exactly know what the purpose is. But I'm guessing is that if you toggle this, if you turn this off, then maybe or if you have a canvas group in a parent object, it will ignore this or something like that. I'm not exactly sure what that is. That's my best guess. It's basically to oppose another canvas group. That's my best guess.  So how this works is that if we set the alpha for the main screen to zero, we won't see the main screen stuff anymore. We can set it to 0.5 to see half transparency, 0.1 to see a 10th transparency. And it's zero to one. So we're going to set that to one. And I want to set my upgrades to zero. So we're not done here. We have these two other settings that are enabled. Right now, we're still able to click this invisible button that we can't see, because the interactable is toggled. So we want to make sure that's false and blocks recast. We want to make sure that's false too. Because if this was, if this was invisible, and blocks recasts wasn't toggled off, or if it was on, but these two were off, then basically we can still click through this object right here. We can't click through it. So if we turn this off, we are granted the ability to click anything under the main screen, because this whole thing is an object. And if this thing was enabled, we wouldn't be able to do the click button. So main screen is going to be all on, except ignore parent groups. We're not going to talk about that at all. And everything will be off here. So in the code, we will do this. We're going to go to the top. I had to borrow someone else's code because I lost all of mine, and I was able to transfer it. Well, that meant a lot. I really appreciate it. So we're going to call this one episode 11. We're going to make two canvas groups. We're going to do a main menu group and a public canvas group called upgrades group. I always name my canvas groups, something and then group, because it's easy to know what it is. I know it's a canvas group. So by start, we always want the main screen to be loaded. So what we do here is dot alpha equals zero. And we got to do the same thing for interactable and block ray casts. But these are Booleans. So we got to send the true or false, since we want them off, we want to assume the false. And that's it. We can do the same for upgrades. And actually, these need to be true because we want to be able to see our main screen, of course. So this is a little mini lesson. I'm going to show you guys this is to reduce the repetitiveness in your code. So you'll see a lot of that here here. I'm going to show you guys how to make custom methods. So what you're going to I'm going to call this public void canvas group group changer, something like that. Just name it whatever you want, something that you'll recognize. So we're going to copy and paste this code in here. So this is something really cool. Inside these inside this right here, we're going to make it accept a Boolean.  And then we're going to also have a canvas group called y, for example. So we're going to replace the main menu groups with y. And we're going to make it if statements. So if x, if we just leave it at x, this is true. This is false right here. So we want it if it's true. Then we want this stuff to happen. Because if it's true, we want to turn on our object right here. And so we don't we don't need an FL statement just an if statements, we can type return. Want to lie? It's because we can ignore this stuff down here. So basically, if it's true, it'll run only this part of the code, it will never ever reach this part. If it's false, it'll skip this part and it'll only run this part. So we can make this the opposite. We'll make it false. And this is really cool. So now we can change the six lines of code that we have made. And I'm sure you'll use this a lot. We can do canvas group changer, we're going to do main menu group. Actually, it's the bull. So we're going to make it true. Main menu group. That's all we got to type. And then we got to get rid of this. And now the same for upgrades group, we can make this false. See, that's so much easier. And now that's how you make a custom method. And that's how you change or toggle an object on and off. That's really cool. I love doing this kind of stuff. Using methods like this will help your code make much more sense than just having it look like this just everywhere. This can be simplified so much. But I feel like that if you use this as an example, if you put in variables in here, you can change them inside of a method instead of having to do it copy and paste every time you can just use this one line right here. Anyways, let's get on with it. So we have so now it'll work. I'm going to show you an example. So I'm going to keep the upgrade screen on just to show you that it works. I'm going to go to game manager, make sure that's on. Oh, I forgot to delete a line of code. All right. So now we have to drag our canvas groups into our script reference. So main menu goes there and upgrades goes there. So what we do now we are ready to go. So once we start, we should not be able to see the upgrades. Sweet, it works. So now we got to make sure we have buttons as well. So we're going to do a little bit of adjustment. I'm going to go to my upgrades. I'm going to slide everything down. Same with the click button. And I'm going to make two new buttons. I'm just going to copy and paste this one. And this will be a part of the header. Technically, it is not like a part of the header. But if I want to keep it together, I can add to the header. But to make more sense, since it's not part of the header, I guess I'll just keep it aside. So this will be called the upgrades button. We'll keep that over here. And we'll have a main button. So let's line stuff up. So I'm what I'm going to do is make sure everything you can do how line it up, however you want. I'm just going to put this here. So then I can copy, delete and then paste component values. So this will copy its position. I'm going to move this up here somewhere. And I'm going to do the same thing with the main button. I'm going to paste, make this x value negative. So it's on the opposite side. And these are also anchored to the top because I don't want them sliding down. So let's change the text or click main. You can call home upgrades. So these are really easy to implement. We're going to make two more methods. Called public void. We're going to make one method. Let's actually let's try to do this in one method. Let's challenge ourselves and hopefully challenge you guys to understand this concept. But this is going to be called change windows or you can call it change screens, change tabs, whatever you want. So in order to do this, we need to create a int public int tab switcher, name it whatever you want. And that will also be set to zero at the beginning. And we're going to do switch case, just what we did here, because we don't want a bunch of if statements, if else statements. So switch tab switcher. So if this was zero, which is what we start with, we can grab, where is my lines right here? These two right here, we can paste it right here and break. That basically stops the whole thing. Oh, one more thing. We need to set tab switcher zero to one. As you add more tabs, you could do zero, one, two, three, zero, one, two, three, four, stuff like that. This is just going to alternate from zero and one. So we're going to make sure the main screen goes false and upgrade screen goes true. And then case one. Oops, I don't know how to type. Same as usual. Nothing's changed, guys. This is going to be true again. And this will be false. And tab switcher will set to zero. So now we know that it alternates right here. And we did it all in one method instead of making one for go to menu, go to upgrades. It's super easy. The power of variables, switch case, if else statements, all that good stuff is very important to keep your code organized. All right. So we're ready. So we need to give these things to work. So we're going to assign main button to change tabs. And this one will also be changed tabs too. They both will. So I just noticed a problem. I just see that if we click on main, if we keep clicking main, it'll alternate from each screen. I totally forgot that it does that. Okay, so we need to actually get rid of this right here. Maybe. Okay, so this is what we're going to do. We're going to put, we're going to make a put a variable inside here. We're going to just call it x or ID. I like these ID. So we're going to have the same switch ID. But instead of it changing from zero to one, it depends on what button you assign it to, which, which is what exactly what we did in the upgrade one right here, the upgrade ID. So if it's zero, we'll still have the same thing. And we'll make actually, if you want to make this readable, we can do string ID. So we can do, we can do this one will be upgrades because this is making upgrades true. And this one will be main. That's it. So now we got to go back to her main button, look for change tabs string. And we're going to set this to main. And we're going to do the same thing for upgrades button, change tabs, upgrades. Now it should work, save our code and let's play. So upgrades main upgrades main, we got it. So now everything looks a little bit more simpler. All right, cool. Um, anyways, thank you guys for watching. I am really, really sorry for the long delay. I missed making these videos. I thought about it. I think about this channel a lot. I get notifications whenever you guys subscribe. I know like what happens. I see you guys watching. I reply, I try to reply to comments too, because I'm always longed into the account anyways. So I just think about it and I just never get to making the videos, especially after all the corruption and all that. But hopefully I'm back. I will try my best since it's winter break. And yeah, I really hope this was helpful. I hope you guys learn off of this and I accept my apology. Um, yeah, anyways, have a good rest of your day or night. And peace. Yeah, that's what my father taught me. But for now I'm going through the motions of letting go because my mind's telling me yes, but my heart really don't know your heart. When I got to know it, yet I still see a glow. So we had the hottest love. Why'd you leave me in the


Red Lotus is a border management operation to check all passengers crossing the border for countries, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Philippines. This operation is from 1st of May until 31st of May. The operational team deployed to the Bali airport is composed from Interpol, Secretary-General and NCB Jakarta and immigration authorities in Bali airport. One of the objectives for capacity-building and detraining in this operation is to increase the cooperation between immigration authorities and the local police to establish standard operational procedure in case they detect any heat to be aware how to deal with this heat. What is the follow-up action required from immigration authorities in case they detect any heat? Every day four teams report all activities and all checks that have done during the day and then also we do the follow-up for any heat. Operational team also liaising between the local police authorities in order to locate and arrest any fugitive inter or departed from Bali airport.


Today, we're talking about power, privilege, proximity, and proof, and the extent to which they remain systemic barriers to greater gender parity in the economy. And then the unique strategies our panelists are using to overcome them. The panel is particularly timely, I believe, on the heels of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Claudia Golden won the prize this year for documenting shrinking gaps in the economy. She described the changing role of women over the last 50 years as one of the grandest advances in society and the economy. But I think most of the panelists, and probably many of you here, believe that that progress is not happening fast enough. So today's panelists are experienced, deep practitioners, and thought leaders, not just in the field of gender lens investing, but in impact investing and private market investing all around. So first, I'd like to welcome Hamdia Ismaila, just in from Accra Ghana. Hamdia is the founder and chief executive officer of Savannah Impact Advisor. At Savannah, Hamdia manages the Venture Capital Trust Fund, a government-backed fund of funds as well as the Chigaba Progress Fund, which we'll speak about in a minute, a separate fund of funds aimed at unlocking local pension fund capital for West African investments. Hamdia is an active angel investor herself, and it had led the establishment of impact investing Ghana, and Ghana's National Advisory Board for Impact Investing. So welcome Hamdia. Jackie Zainer, founder and chief executive officer of She-Money, a new company focused on advancing women's financial wellness and agency. Jackie is a former partner and managing director at Goldman Sachs, and the co-founder of Women Moving Millions, one of the largest philanthropic communities in the world of women funding women. By way of Park City Yuta, welcome Jackie. And Patricia Sainz, managing and founding partner at Bogota, Colombia-based Ewa Capital, an early-stage venture fund that has its own unique gender lens. Patricia has over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur and investor, and has helped place more than 60 million foreign investments in Colombia. She is a board member and former president of the Board of Colcapita, a Colombian Association of VC Funds, and I had the pleasure of meeting Patricia last week before we knew she was on the panel in Medellín in Colombia at the Glee Forum, promo hair's gender lens investing conference. So welcome Patricia. I'd like to start with Jackie, partly because you made what I thought was a provocative point in our earlier discussions, which is that proof, or the business case for gender lens investing and increasing women's access to capital for gender parity in the economy, made no longer be a barrier to more gender equitable markets. In other words, the case has already been made that this is better business, and yet we're still not seeing progress as quickly as we should be. So talk a little about the state of proof, so to speak. Great. Well thank you. Is this working? Yes. So great to be with you. Thank you for being here, not out in the sunshine with us. I'm very honored to be my first time at Socap, so it's really fun to be here. I have a reputation of a few things, like being really fun on the dance floor is definitely up there on the list, and I'm going to launch my own protest. There's no dance party at Socap. So I know, right? We need to vote for that. Not yet. We'll add that in. But I became obsessed with research very early on in my journey. I think one of the reasons was that Goldman Sachs produced some of the earliest research out of Japan called Women Hold Up Half the Sky, and sort of making the case in the late 90s that supporting women, economically supporting women, was good for the economy. And I was so proud at that time that Goldman and some other places, not having studied gender studies in college, was sort of connecting the worlds of business and finance, which is what I did. I was in capital markets. I was a trader at Goldman with the need to support women. So since that time, I'm somewhat of an obsessive person that I would collect research reports because I couldn't find anywhere where they were collected and aggregated. And over the years, and I'm not joking, and Madison here can testify to it, I've sort of privately collected, aggregated, and distributed literally hundreds of reports in 23 different categories to support the case for gender lens investing, giving, and action. And what I've noticed over the 25 years now, and I'm not talking in the academic spaces where gender research has always sort of been around, but this intersection of all sorts of government entities, private enterprises, obviously all the banks produce massive amounts of research, CDFIs, you name it, institutions, world economic forum. And for 25 years, we have been making the case, which begs the question, why are we even making the case that women are good for the world? Like that has to happen, but yes, we're still there. So in looking at this research, what I noticed is a lot of this research sort of sat on academic shelves or even business shelves and wasn't sort of necessarily translated into practice and whatever I could do to kind of champion for that, I would do. But what's interesting now, I think the case has been made. I think my prior panel that I attended was sort of on the case of the state of DEI. I think people would say that at this point, at least in this place, and I recognize the privilege of being here in the United States, being a white woman here in the United States, would say that maybe the business case has been made, but there's a difference between needing to give the proof and what I would say using the data to drive action and using measurement tools. So it's not to say that there isn't more research that needs to be done, but I look at all the time, all the effort, all the money that has been spent to make the case for gender equality and it kind of wants me, it makes me want to throw up in my mouth. Because I think about where that energy could go if we sort of consolidate en masse around the fact that the case has been made and then really work to translate the evidence and I'm hoping LLMs and AI, we have an AI entrepreneur in the front row, can really be helpful to consolidate that data and drive us more towards action. It's interesting you mentioned the case for diversity also having been made. I feel like it's in the impact industry more broadly, this is the big frustration is like there's been a lot of effort in making the case and it hasn't moved the dial significantly. So what is the role of proof then? How do you use data if we're struggling to build the market using proof? How do you use it in your own investments in your own? Well, you don't have to convince me that women are worth investing in. I mean I have that from personal experience as an active investor both in funds and in direct companies and I think this whole conference and certainly I always want to repeat what the brilliance of prior sessions, but it just makes sense so that we want to invest in folks that have and I love what the prior session said that are closest to the problems have the solutions. So what is the role of proof? It's difficult for me to articulate because I don't need to be, I don't need it. We might need data to drive actions but I have this method like flip it and test it and then ask yourself this and I'll explain what it is. If we need evidence that women are worth investing in, give me the evidence that's hundreds and hundreds of reports that show that men are worth investing in. So I think there's sort of that challenge the assumption that's leading to the question and to me a case closed. Again, we need data, we need measurement, but the idea of proof I think we're past that. And so moving past proof, what are some of the other barriers that you are seeing in your work? Like what is explaining a lack of a bigger movement towards investments in women? Oh gosh, okay, well that's a lot into the other piece. So I mean, again, I'm mindful of sort of time and moving on. But I think power and proximity and privilege are all the other piece and I love alliteration which I hope we'll dig into are the barriers. There was a term I heard in the last session called capital supremacy. This idea that those who have money have power and that money and power come is distributed according to the beliefs and values of those who have it. So my work in the world now, especially with she money is to and was true with women moving millions which is a global community of over 350 women each have given a million or more philanthropically to women and girls causes is to help them have agency and feel the power and use money as an expression of their values and their power. I'm all for having men as allies. I'm all for widening the circle and realizing we're not in this gender binary anyways. But I believe with my whole heart and being that the agents of change are us, right? Are the women in the room that are not only going to use their investment capital but their spending power and their philanthropy. Because we understand the power of money and we're going to use it differently and I think there's a lot of evidence cuz I'm a research junkie. Especially one report that I'll call out, I think it's called Pathways to Inclusive Investment by BNY Mellon. That has one of my favorite reports over the years and I think it was last year that said especially with respect to investing. If we close the investment gap, meaning if women globally invested at the same rate as men, we would unleash trillions of dollars that are way more likely to be used with a values alignment towards the environment, towards social justice. So if you need the evidence, it's there. And then it's a question of what's holding us back individually and collecting, and collectively from using that investment power, but also the other forms of financial power. Great, thank you. And we'll come back and bring the full group back together. But wanted to bring in Hamdia, we've been discussing proof and proof points. Last month, you and Savannah Impact Advisory were appointed the fund manager of the $75 million Chigawa Fund of Funds, which is aiming to unlock local pension fund capital for investments in the West African economy and venture funds. That's a big deal. That's a big proof point. Can you share a bit about this effort and what it means for the region? Thank you. Thank you, Dennis. And good afternoon, and thanks so much for inviting me here. It's really good to be here and to see all of you in the room. So it's taken us a while. It took us about two years. And listening to what you were saying, we definitely have a lot of proof. But it's just that I think you alluded to it about power. Because those who actually have the money are not looking at the research data to be able to make decisions. So we need to have more women there to make those decisions. So we started two years ago, and it was as a result of the fact that we have deregulated pensions. And over the last 12 years, pension assets has quadrupled. And the pension money is still 95% plus government securities. So we were wondering, how could we bring some of this capital into productive success of the economy, support more women, to be able to transform? And we had conversations with the pension funds, and they said we want to do it, but we don't understand how to do it. And we actually don't think that women can do it. So it was a lot of challenge. We had a lot of conversations with them. And eventually they came out to understand that, look, we need to be able to put some of the money into the productive sectors so that we can transform and we can actually build our economies according to the way we want to see it. And it was also as a result of the fact that we have our government actually borrow a lot of money and they are also able to pay a lot more on interest. So if you are an asset owner, it makes sense to put money in government securities and go to sleep. Because the thinking is that it is risk-free and that you don't have to work hard. But when we are able to also talk to government and get government to begin to understand that when you do that, you're actually pushing private sector out of the way, government also begins to think. So we had to work between the regulator and the asset owners and also policy makers to understand what we are trying to do and how we want to drive capital at scale. And the motivation is that we need to have women as asset allocators. If we don't get women in asset allocation positions, we're not going to move the dial. Because as you said, the proof is there. So why isn't it happening? Because women are not the ones allocated. And so the whole essence of getting Chigabah to come into being is to ensure that we are able to allocate the money and then actually further proof, to actually give further proof that it is possible to support women and to make a change. So it's really a big deal for us. And we are looking forward to ensuring that we're able to build around it and really perfect some of the proof that has already been seen, but then now make it really visible for everybody to see that it's possible. You spoke to the importance of women as capital allocators. My colleague, Jessica, has done a lot of reporting on the importance of local fund managers in Africa in particular. For both the impacts that you're talking about, but also the financial performance, can you speak to the role of proximity in this type of investing? Thank you. So it is very, very important because some of them, look over 80% of businesses in Africa are small and green businesses. And I was reading one OECD report that says that Africa has more women entrepreneurs than any part of the world. So, but the business are small, so the ticket sizes are small. And as a fund manager, it doesn't make sense to me if anyone sitting in London or sitting in the US coming to do a 500K investment in Accra. It took me 23 hours to get here. So really monitoring such investment is, I believe there is a word in a door in it. So you need somebody closer to really nurture these businesses, put in money and grow them. When they are grown and they are bigger, you can absorb more capital. And then you can actually do a 5 million case sitting in New York and still be able to monitor and not really have any reason to justify to investors. So proximity is very key and we really need to ensure that we support local capital providers and I like what you are doing in Bogota. So that we build these businesses, women businesses are small, but you need to put in the money and really build them up for other investors to come later. And so the closer you are to them, the better you are able to move the needle. And I am for the fact that we should be able to support women fund managers. We need to get a lot of women into investment so that we can support other women with small ticket sizes, add more value, create, expand the business and then you are able to get others to come on board when they are ready to scale. I want to go back to the fund of funds and if you could dig in and share a bit more about the structure of it. My understanding is a blended finance fund. In what way does a structure like that help you overcome some of the barriers we're talking? In what ways do the partners that come together or the types of capital that come together help overcome some of these barriers? Yeah, so there is a blended structure because we looked, our main target is to get the pension funds and three things that border the pension funds, liquidity, risk, and returns. So what we thought of doing with a structure is to have two classes of shares with philanthropic layer where they would stay in a bit longer and then allow the pension funds to come in and out with a locking period of about 10 years which allows them, when there's a liquidity event then we can get the pension funds out whilst we have a base where it's more patient. So we're looking at foundations, we're looking at more philanthropic money to have a base. So we have two classes of shares. We didn't want to make it too complicated because the more you're making more complicated the more difficult it is for people to understand and the more it takes the boxes of risk because the risk perception of the pension funds it's amazing.  And so we needed to create a vehicle that made sense for the pensions to deal with the issues they raised because as I said we had had series of conversations with them. So there were a lot of discussion about should we get philanthropic money as guarantee as first loss but it depends upon what the philanthropic investor wants to do. We just want somebody who is staying in the long haul to allow the pensions to go and come to exit any time there's a liquidity situation. So the philanthropic capital helped overcome the increased risk perception of woman managing the fund. Yes. Perception. You've been very involved in building impact and the impact investing industry in Ghana. And I wonder the focus on impact has it helped or hurt or been neutral in addressing gender barriers? Like if you're leading with job creation or climate solution is that help get deals done? Does it help raise funds? What's the connection between impact and gender? It doesn't, unfortunately. It doesn't. So this fund, Chigaba is a gender lens fund. We have refused to call it gender lens because if you do, the pension funds will run away. Because the whole thinking is that the moment you put the gender lens on it, it's like, oh, you're going to waste our money. So we are not calling it that. But this is what we've done. We've built intentionally built systems in it. And what we want to do is that we want to over time report so that they would now begin to understand that this is how it was done. This was the intentions. And when we are very intentional, these are the outcomes. So in the next two, three years, we'll begin to publish, then they would see. But what we've done is that, for example, we are a team of five and we are three women and two guys, the whole board are women. The IC is independent, three IC, two women, one man. So we are intentionally building it in. But if you really want to achieve impact in Africa, you need to invest in women. So let me just give you one example. We invested in a soybean processing plant. He was using as well as he owns the company with his wife and they processed soybean for the animal feed and they needed to get a bigger equipment. So we invested, what, 450,000. But then soybean as a crop is called women's crop in Ghana because apparently it's difficult to harvest because it's very down, so it's women who do it. We did a backward integration investment and we supported 4,500 women to plant soybean to feed the factory. We increased women revenue for about 60% because now they have access to market. So we were able to get them to increase acreages and also improve their gaps like the good agriculture practices and increase yield for the company. So when we talk about impact, it's just not, when you read it, you don't get it. It's when you feel it on the ground and I see it all the time when I do this investment. And that is, I think what keeps me going because it's very evident and we need to begin to see this evidence right on the field. Great, thank you. Patricia, you and Ewa are one of the first women founded and women led venture funds in Colombia. You could probably say all of Latin America. As we're laying out proof points, you're well on your way towards raising your second gender lands venture fund. Can you tell us a bit about AOS trajectory? Sure, so happy to be here and I have all my friends here supporting me so I'm more than happy and nervous. So, well, it's the first fund and the only fund led by women in Colombia. So and in Latin America, we are around five. Like it's like founded and led by women and the numbers doesn't change worldwide. So it's like something that is happening and we have to change. And one of the things that I always believe is like in terms of, I'm telling you a little bit about what we did in Ewa. We did our first fund and of course it was absolutely like venture capital fund in 2015. And then when I started in 2019 thinking like, what can we do different? I realized that fund managers are more like male and then we started to think about like, okay, do the 360, this is that I was thinking like, okay, what can we do to involve more women in the whole round? So it's like one thing is like, we need more female investors. So where are the investors in the fund? And I went to find like, you know, like I was knocking on the doors and everything. And today I can tell you like in the fund, 15% of the capital is invested by women and 40% of the investors are women. So it's like, but it was something like they always invest in real estate. They always invest in what would you were saying, bonds in things like are like absolutely rich at best. So that was something that you have to change the mind and that's why we need more capital and educate. Education is something that we have to work on. And what do we do in the terms of EWA, in terms of the investment thesis, we are like a gender lens, 40% of the portfolio we invested where are female founders or where are women in the leadership positions or women as end customers. But I think what is unique and that comes there for peace is that we create a gender assessment and we realize that probably it's like they male or they men are not aware of the gender gap. And that's something that happens. I mean, they are not bad people. They are just not aware about the situation and that's something that we have to open their eyes. So it's like we started to talk to them and they are like normally white, well-educated, it started abroad. So they are like, and when I talk to them about this, they are like, no, but you know, I'm a father, I have a daughter, I'm a nice person and you're like, yes, of course, I understand that part. But I mean, in terms of your company, what can you do a little bit more? So we created this assessment that it's like three pillars and it comes for, if you think about it, it's like one is like an inclusive culture and it's like make them aware about the gender salary gap, you know, in terms of privilege.  It's basically, and that's why we need more female founders or more female investors because you normally feel more better when you are with someone that it's like, I don't know, the same color, same education, same gender, same everything. So because it's like comfortable. So, and you don't raise weird or different questions, not weird but different questions. So that's the part of privilege that we try to raise with Ewa. Like, how are you involving in your team diversity? How do you hire more people that bring and give like the tools to female in your team to have a career development? No, how can we do that? So that because normally what you find in the startups and in all the stem is that first in the third level you are 50-50 but when you go higher then you finish up like having less and less females on the top. So that's what we try to open the eyes and to work with them between the organization. And the other thing is also in terms of empowerment because we always think like we as a woman we have been educated and told you know like you have to be with your family. You know, I always think and I always said that men never said something about sacrificing. They don't have that word in their mind. And we are always thinking about sacrificing. So that's the things that we're doing. So I think like in terms of privilege that is like the terms of education for women in their as career development. So we also work with them to get them involved in leadership because normally the people in education they think about finance and you know things like are like more like what you learn in the university but we're lacking is in terms of more like, you know leadership, believe in yourself, how do you empower them? What is what they really need to know? I was just thinking of something you told me earlier. So we're in Silicon Valley or close to Silicon Valley here. We hear about the PayPal mafia as former employees of PayPal go on to start other companies. Talk to us how you're trying to create such a culture among women in Latin America. Well, we're creating it and I'm so proud to say that I just invested in one company that they did that and it's because if you have more women working in a startup and they start to see how they can develop their career you know and they really see how a startup works. Then at the end of the day that's a seedbed to become entrepreneurs and very good entrepreneurs because they have their experience. I mean they know how to swim.  So for example in Mecan, which is the company that I just invested the two female founders, they work previously in Rapi then they work in New Bank then the other one working Cava that these three are unicorns in Latin America. So 18 months ago they started their own company and based on the experience and brought the best CTO and all that. So we see that this is happening and it's like a way to do it you know and is a way to be involved because in early stage, the as you were saying, the participation of a fund, a closed fund is very important because it's just not capital. It's like really smart capital and you have to be with them and what do they need in terms of network, in terms of support, it's not just money. It's by far a lot of more things that you need to survive. The, you also have an interesting take on proximity. We've talked about the importance of proximity but you see proximity sometimes in Latin America as creating biases in the investment process but now you're also trying to flip that on instead of making an advantage. Yeah, I think like proximity we can see it like in the way that you were saying that it's absolutely positive but there is another way to see proximity in a negative way and is what I was saying. Like one time someone asked me, what do you think if you were a man would have been easier for you to raise the fund and I was thinking, oh, yes, definitely yes because fund investors, all that, they're men. So and again, you feel more comfortable and you will be able to talk about things like more related to yourself. So that's the first thing. And the second thing is like when you're a female fund manager when you look at the female entrepreneur you get also the same thing, like probably proximity that someone told me last week in the Glee they were saying like, yes, Patricia but what if it's a solo founder and she gets pregnant? That is going to be such a problem for me because, and that was a serious question. And I was like, okay, and what if it's a solo man and he dies, that's the same problem.  And they are more expensive and he was serious. So I always think like, there is the bias. He was thinking like, she will get pregnant. And I was telling him like, I have two kids and I'm here.  So what's the problem? And the other thing is when you hired your team and you go and see like all the startups and who are the team? Who are the board members? My best friend, he went with me to school. He plays golf with me. We spend the weekend together. So what kind of diversity and good quality of questions are going to be in the board of directors? No. And in terms of the team, the same thing.  And that it would comes like diversity into that it's very good for the companies, that it's very good for the outcome, for their returns and all that stuff. So that's the part of negative proximity.  Thank you. No, I love that. All three of you have talked about the importance of women as capital allocators. Jackie, can you talk a bit more about the, you know, women's growing financial power and agency like you're doing a cheap money and what you see when women become allocators? Well, thank you. I think when women do become allocators, I think for all the reasons that you said, they're more likely to invest in women entrepreneurs that have life experiences. They understand the product need. And I think the question is why aren't more women and in particular high net worth women? Because I think we see it a lot more prevalently in with high net worth men who do a lot of early stage in angel and fund investing. And I think obviously this is where there is a lot of research to say that there is a big investment gap in general and across all wealth levels, you know, women tend to be more risk measured and obviously investing in women entrepreneurs and funds can be perceived as more risky. But I, and I think that with high net worth women and I didn't start out that way, I had a liquidity event with Goldman because I was a pre IPO partner, but I came from modest upbringings. I didn't have money to invest. And when I entered this community, but I, as soon as I did get money, I did invest in women. And I think I did that because I had comfortable. I studied finance. I worked at Goldman. I understood the numbers. And I thought there was an incredible wealth creating opportunity. And in fact, there is like one of the things that was early and very lucky for me is one of my second direct, second direct investment was in a company called LearnVest which is Alexa Von Tobel who now has two funds. She went on to sell her company within I think six years from a dropout of school at a Harvard to start LearnVest, a financial platform to mainly target women on their journey towards financial wellness. She sold it seven years later and is now I think raised the very, the biggest first time fund ever for a manager called Inspired Capital. But I got it. I got that and I, because I had familiarity with money and finance and it was natural for me when I had the resources to invest in women, what I found from the women moving millions community, so these are women who have at least written a million dollar check philanthropically so you could do the math and say, they're high net worth, ultra high net worth. When it came to investing, even doing simple things like ETFs, even ETFs with a gender lens, they would be like, I don't make those decisions. My husband makes those decisions. I'm not comfortable making decisions around money. I'm like, you just wrote a million dollar check to a non-profit. That is a decision around money. And that is why I kept pulling the lens back because honestly it made me wild. I would see women with billions of dollars literally sitting on top of foundation assets that were billion dollars, personal assets that said no to investing. And obviously I'm here. I've been involved with the gender lens investing community since it started with Joy Anderson and Jackie Vanderbogen, Susan Beagle, the rest her soul was a dear friend and just fearless advocate. And it really made me wild. And so that's why in the work that we're doing now, I kept pulling the lens back about the why. Why aren't women, especially ones that have a lot of resources, which are the ones most likely to do angel investing? And it's so much bigger than that, but angel investing, funds investing. Why weren't they doing it? And I think it comes, there's a long answer to that question, but I think it gets back to when we're talking about agency and the culture in which we are all raised currently is still, let's add another P to the equation, a patriarchal structure. And that is a structure where women are not, generally speaking, the decision makers around capital. So I think that in order to unleash the capital that can come from women, and especially high net worth women that are writing, hopefully big checks philanthropically and otherwise, it is around creating a greater sense of financial agency and wellness and healing what is often time individual and collective trauma around money. And I'll just say one more thing about that, which is if there's one takeaway that you take from my talk, look up this organization called the Trauma of Money. And I discovered them this past year, I'm taking their 18 week certification program and it is blowing my mind in terms of really unpacking sort of this idea of relationship and agency because whether it's women or folks that have been marginalized and especially in the US, African-Americans and folks that have a history of being capital, not giving and allocating capital. There is a lot of collective healing that has to happen around in general and around money that I think is key to unlocking the type of capital that is really needed to transform this idea of capital supremacy and how capital flows. I love that about you're speaking about increasing women's financial agency. Hamda, at the fund of fund level you're in a position to back multiple women-led funds. Patricia, you talk about planting seeds and investments in female entrepreneurs. In your own way, you each are talking about exponential impact on women in the roles that you're in. And I wonder, Hamda, if you could speak to that first and how you think about that in your own motivation and career. Yes, thank you. And thank you for mentioning. I mean, I love the work Joy Anderson is doing around gender and power dynamics for example, you need to get women to one allocate, sit in the position that they can make decisions. But I like what you said because out of frustration I set up what I call a lady angel network. So we do angel investment. And I decided I'm just going to speak to my friends who are professional career women like myself to do it. And the entire work I have to do it because I have to like look at the deal that comes in. I have to review it for them. I have to sit with them to explain it to them. These are people who are accountant, chartered accountant, you know, bankers. It's just that I think sometimes when it comes to relationship with money as women and making that decision, it becomes difficult. Because we have even agreed to do certain investments and they will go and come back and say, oh, I had a discussion with my husband and he thought that this is too early stage for me to do. That's angel investment you do very early stage. You know, so there's a lot that we need to do and to unpack it. I wanted to do a fund of funds because I think that we wanted to sit in a position where we can allocate and support more women managers to be able to raise. There are a lot of women managers right now coming up, especially in Africa. You see a lot of accelerators going on.  We have, we just launched the Morami one, also supporting women first time fund managers to prepare them. The thinking is that who is going to invest?  So if we have a few fund of funds running to co-invest together in funds, we can put this woman immediately at a first close to start investing. And that is how they can build that track record because as you said, it's easy for a man to raise money because you go and play golf with the rich guys and the decisions are made on a golf course. Women basically mostly may not be able to have that opportunity to go and do that. So it's more boys club but we don't have a lot of women's club and we need to have that if we need to be able to make these allocation decisions. So for me, I think one thing that we need to work a lot more on is the power issues. And you talk about privilege as well. Yes, because we went to school together and it's easy for us to do things together, right? And they begin to look at if they want to make a decision, they begin to look at oh, who is sitting where? Who can we get to do this? And it's all because of proximity and also because of the privilege they enjoy together, right? I just talk about boys club. It is a boys club meeting that will make decisions and the women are not there. So how can we get to women? And I like what you're doing about women moving billions because you need to have women to begin to think about investment in a different way to be able to really move the needle. And that is what we are seeking to do with Chigabah so that at least we can get women. I've seen women trying to raise their first funds and it's taking them seven years to do so. So how are you gonna build track record? Because everybody says you don't have track record and for seven years, we are trying to convince people that you can do it. So if we are able to back them even with warehouse capital, for them to start investing and building that track record, then we can move the needle. And I believe that when women sit in a position of power to allocate, they'll allocate to more women and we will see a lot of change.  But I also wanna just ask, are there any questions in the audience? I can run the mic out. All right, Joy Anderson. Thank you. Hi, huge fans of all of you. We're huge fans of you, Joy Anderson. Thank you. So, Handia, it's, and I wanna build on something that you said that was so important, which is the bias that's baked into saying the word gender and then the discounts that happen and then the, wow, that's too risky and that we're spun out of control. And then marrying that with, Jackie, I just love any time that you can go out and say, sorry, I was about to curse really badly, but screw the business.  Like, can't we say it at this point? Like, I am so tired of making a business case for something that is obvious and we have to prove it over and over again and we've proven it, but we're still doing it. So, how do we tie together? You're doing this wicked, clever thing, Handia, in terms of how you're building out the fund and aware of all those words of privilege and power and how you're navigating that in the reality in which you're in of what pension funds need to hear. How do we find, how do we make sure that we're telling a story of the true narrative underneath it? Because at some point, all the research reports don't always tell the story we need them to tell. They're still making the top line of the business case. Anyway, maybe Hamdi, it's to you of like, we're 10 years forward and we're sitting in Accra again and saying, here's this fund was successful. What's the proof that we need, that the gender bias that discounted the fund's return was wrong? Because it's not risk, it's dumb, you know what I mean? We love you, Joey, I understand. I had no idea you were in this room. So what do we actually want to do is that right now we have built a system, we have built a measurement system and we are, we're going to track from day one. We want to do 50% female fund managers and we want to warehouse them from day one to start an investmentable track record because I think we are overtraining the women to do investment. And they are not able to raise the capital to do the investmentable track record. So we want to do that. And we also want to track the portfolio companies they're investing and how that fits into the metrics. So in the next two, three years we will have data, pure information. The companies are there, the employees are there, the products are there and these are the returns that is coming. So that when we sit to talk, it is very obvious because you see, when you read some of the reports they are very good but they look too far away for you to be able to understand really what it is. You think maybe, I mean people who want to make, who want to find reasons not to do something always find reasons because I think like you said and like Jackie said, we have built so much evidence that we don't need anybody to ask more questions about performance of women. But it is, I mean in the room you get all these questions. I didn't know that you also hear the question of her pregnancy.  And in Ghana we have three months maternity leave. It hurts them so much that even sometimes employment they want to see, right?  So I think we need to just say this company want this company to this company trade these are the companies, these are the returns that is coming in. We are not making it, go and look at the companies. That's for me what I'm looking to do so that the proof is just very visible for them to see. I hope I answered your question because Joy I can't answer. Because you ask questions that you have the answers already. Can I just add one thing about this? Here's what I worry about. I worry that there's so much pressure on women fund managers and the entrepreneurs and we have a lot to outperform, right? Isn't freedom like the right to fail at equal rates that these male entrepreneurs fail? And that does scare me. I mean if we need proof and I wanna do well on my investments and we have to still recognize that even once they get their first checks they are up against a system that's rigged against them in general. And it doesn't mean that there aren't gonna be amazing success stories but we have to change the fundamental system in which we're operating at this level. And that's why it's micro and macro. It's power and proximity. And I think about that a lot because I just think there's so much pressure on I invested in a lot of first time fund managers. I made this a strategy to do so. Walkstar fund, 22 fund, Hannah Gray. I'm looking at you for all the other ones, like 10 of them. And I want them all to succeed and I sit on these calls with all their updates and hear these companies and they're phenomenal companies and then they go to Ray Series B. And the bias just gets even worse in some ways as you go up the Capitol because there's more at stake and more money.  So they're not held accountable to the same degree that women are held accountable and I just think we need to really check our assumptions and not put so much pressure and I'm not saying you're doing it or I'm doing it but we can't say it all. We're gonna see that all these funds have extraordinary returns. It would be great if they did and they probably will because of what it took to get those first checks but I just wanna give a lot of love and support and that's why mobilizing purchasing power, mobilizing community, mobilizing everything, the networks that are gonna help that company become successful is at some point maybe not as important but you need the checks, Tori, I know I'm looking at you girlfriend. We need so much more and it can't just be, it's gotta be so much bigger than the check especially for women and people of color that are entering the world into systems that are not built to support them on their journey of entrepreneurship and founderism. Thank you and we need to wrap but I wanna give Patricia the last word. Last word. Wow. Or anybody.  If you have a last word, please share it. Now I think like from my point of view we really need to work on education. I mean, because we need more investors. We cannot rely only in, for example in Latin America we all go for the same DFIs and they are not going to deploy all the money just for us. So we need more players and we need to unbize those players. And I think like most of the wealth managers and all that they are in a very comfortable zone in the zone of the bonds of what you were saying, the 95% and especially now with the high interest rate so they don't have to do anything. They just wake up and do nothing. So I think it's very important to talk about the impact. It's not just returns. It's not philanthropic. It's not saying like investing in women is like, oh, do good. No, we do good and we get good returns. So it's more like about education in terms of that. And in terms of the companies, we also as women have to, I believe in the power of role models. You know, the more you see women have been successful having these successful stories, showing that in all parts is like it makes the path easier because if you see that people has been successful, then you can also be successful. So we need more role models.


Friends, it's due to Allah. We start with the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim. We say Bismillahir Rahman Ar-Rahim is the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most kind. This one, this merciful Lord that has given us the mercy of Himal. He has given us the mercy of faith and we haven't asked for faith that He has blessed us with faith, without us asking. This merciful Lord has allowed us to achieve the acts of worship without us asking to do that. This merciful Lord has allowed us to have an opinion of Him that He is merciful and that He will continue to grant His mercy on us. We know that the famous, the famous Hadith Hussein, where Allah says, and it's by the wording of the Prophet's number, Allah says, that I am according to the opinion of my servant. And so we have the opinion of Allah that He is merciful towards us. And then if we have that opinion of Allah, Allah will be merciful towards us. If we have the opinion of Allah that He will allow us to continue to have it to be the grace to continue on this e-man, on this faith that He has given us and for it not to be taken from us, Allah, inshaAllah, allows us to continue that faith without us asking. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask. It doesn't mean we shouldn't ask for an increase in faith, an increase in our actions. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't ask for an increase in our spiritual states. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't ask of Raza. Because Allah likes to hear us ask. We have Ramadan coming in 11 or 12 days, less than two weeks. Ramadan is almost here. We ask that Allah allows us to reach Ramadan and to bless the remainder of our Shaaban. We ask Allah that He allows us to find the spiritual benefit of Ramadan. And a lot of times we find ourselves questioning how come I find a higher spiritual state in Ramadan? Or sometimes we know people who don't pray except in Ramadan. We don't do acts of worship except in Ramadan. We don't mean we're outside of Ramadan. And sometimes we look down upon those people. We look down upon those people. And we question their faith. And we question their sincerity. But before we do that, let's think about the Hadid al-Handala al-Musaidi al-Aliyullah al-Mu'ta'ala. He was one of the slides from the Prophet ﷺ. It's a famous Hadid. It's in, it's in, it's reported in many, many books. And one morning, Handa al-Aliyullah al-Mu'ta'ala said, Nafa al-Handala.  He says that about himself, the Sahabi is great, one of the, the greatest of creation after the Prophet ﷺ. And he says that, that I've committed, I've committed hypocrisy. So he goes and he runs to the Mubakr al-Mu'ta'ala. He's a long Hadid. But he runs to the Mubakr al-Mu'ta'ala when he says, Ya, Ya aba bakr. Nafa al-Handala.  He says, why is that? He said, when we're, when I'm in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, I find myself in a higher spiritual state. I find myself, you know, he describes, he describes the acts that, that the, the cognizance he has of Allah with him. And so, the Mubakr al-Mu'ta'ala says, I have the same problem. When I'm at the Prophet ﷺ, I'm at a certain state. I'm like, when I'm away from him, I'm not at that state. So they go, both of them, to the Prophet ﷺ, they narrate this to him. And he says that he, and basically the summary of the, this is the long Hadid, the summary of the Hadid is the Prophet ﷺ says, that when you're with me, of course, your, your state of Imad and your actions are going to be greater and have, and have a greater impact on you. And it had to remain on what you were doing in my company. The angels themselves came down and shook their hands with you. But they sa'at and fa sa'at, and you know, bit by bit, things we, we, we aren't going to achieve a high spiritual state merely by affirming it in ourselves, or merely by asking, or merely by getting up to the pageant one or two times, or praying our five prayers on time, or whatever it may be, reading some extra Qur'an in the day. So there are moments in our lives where we have more Imad. We have, we have a higher sense of Imad, more cognizance of Allah and his command, commandant and prohibition, more cognizance of our love for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ and His love and His Messenger ﷺ and His love for us. So when we have, when we reach Him a lot, we, we, we see these people, we might consider, we, we, there's a term that they call them Ramadan Muslims. We don't, we don't recognize that we ourselves are Ramadan Muslims. Ramadan are our own. We, we also find an increase and perhaps that state which they're in, or that state that which we find ourselves in, in that, in that Ramadan, or whatever, whatever time of Ramadan it may be, whether it be Ramadan or it be the time of Hajr, whether they be doing at times of prayer or when you read Qur'an, those are times when we're supposed to find an increase. Those are times when we're supposed to find an increase. So when we find someone who perhaps hasn't prayed on you, who hasn't opened up Qur'an in a long time, who hasn't stopped to make some dhikr or some dhikr, some, some contemplation about Allah and His creation, we should encourage those people, help those people. And so long as, and we know the Hadith that Prophets have said that Allah is in the, is in the assistance of His servant, so long as His servant is in the assistance of His brother. So if we assist those people who find difficulty outside of Ramadan, who find difficulty outside of the Qur'an, spiritual times of the year or times of the day, Allah might continue to allow us to have an increase in iman. And allow us to have an increase in our faith and in our actions.  Until you love for yourself, what you love for your brother. Do we not love iman for ourselves? Do we not love that Allah has mercy on us? Do we not love that Allah continue to be on your side to be the one who provides for us? We should also love that for our brothers and sisters in our faith and for our families and help those people who might be struggling in whatever way of wisdom that I may do without overwhelming them. You know, we help them first reach their bare minimums and after that we increase them by bid. And if we do that and we love that for ourselves and we love that for them, perhaps we'll reach a higher state than iman. Perhaps Allah will continue to assist us in our iman and our actions through our help for another person. That Allah might increase our love for Allah might be increased because we help someone else increase their love for Allah. Because we help someone else increase their love for Allah, it's a message that Allah has sent us. So we're all from Allah's message. We're all people who find a bit of a spiritual boost during Ramadan and during the other times of the day or the year or the week or whatever it may be. We find ourselves, you know, we're more about dress. We're excited to go to the Jum'ah.  We find it easier on ourselves to go to the Masjid on Fridays. These are all indications of this idea that there are times when our faith is going to be a bit stronger. And we should continue on that and ride that wave and allow it to continue to build our good habits. So this month coming, first of all, this month ending, we should continue before Ramadan because we should prepare for Ramadan. This is a religion in which we put forth, we put forth preliminaries before we meet something else.  If you want presence in your wudu, you should have presence in your intention before wudu. And so on and so forth. So we put forth preliminaries. So if you want presence in Ramadan a lot, and a higher spiritual state, a higher benefit from wudu a lot, we should start now. We should start helping people now. We should start helping our brothers and our sisters and our families and our children and our parents if they may be. Whoever it may be that you might find that means some sort of boost. We should start now.   We haven't done enough. And we should never assume the verb when you do enough. And that shouldn't discourage us. It should actually encourage us that even though we don't do enough, Allah is still going to reward us for the very little that we do. The righteous predecessors, and even people today, when Ramadan comes, they double what they do. We're not doing anything. They double their good actions, especially with the Quran. Double how much Quran there is. We're not doing anything now. We should start now. And we double it if we can when Ramadan comes, whether it be a few minutes today, or if you're doing however much it may be that you can reasonably finish without straining yourself. We should start that now. So we build the habit. So whenever Allah comes, we build a closer connection to the words of Allah. Because sometimes we don't recognize the blessing that these are the words of Allah. Allah is expressing his pre-eternal speech in this Quran. And he has a message to tell us. And Allah is our beloved. Do we not want to know what our beloved is telling us? If we don't understand the Quran, and that the spiritual reading, that's fine. There's reward in reading the Quran, even if you don't understand. So we should start now. And perhaps I might say, well, I don't find like, I don't find the spiritual, I don't find the spiritual, I don't find the prayer, maybe I don't find like, enjoy the reading of the Quran. Allah is expressing his reward in this Quran, that sometimes the eye might not see the sunlight, because there's something that's covering it in the mouth, and I like to taste what it drinks, or the water it drinks, because there's something that's wrong at the top. Suddenly, we don't like our time in the Quran. We should remind us that this is a reminder for us. We should continue to work on ourselves. In Ramadan, we spend extra time getting up before Fajr to make sure that our bodies are nourished. We can also add a few minutes to make sure our souls are nourished. Very few of us in Al-Qadr learn when we're still asleep. This is weak, this is weak to give the effort into our bodies to be the same for our souls, and souls are more important than our bodies. We ask Allah that there are lots of people who have nourished souls. We ask Allah that there are lots of people who live in a relation with His words. We ask Allah that He makes people love them for life, and love Allah, and love His messengers in the law and the center. We ask Allah that He gives us an interest in faith in this coming month. We ask Allah that He allows us to reach this month. We ask Allah that He allows us to have grace after we continue on this faith that He's given us. We ask Allah that this faith never leaves us, and never decreases from us. We ask Allah that we have an increase in the quality and the quantity of our actions. We ask Allah that we keep people who see no happiness except that what Allah has given us. We ask that we find no peace except through Him. So He said, especially in the first years of our current. We ask Allah that He allows us to recognize that Allah is angels. He said there are many evictions and salutation about us all the time. And they were asking the same thing. We ask Allah that He allows us to recognize that there are many evictions and salutation about us all the time. We ask Allah that He allows us to recognize that there are many evictions and salutation about us all the time. We ask Allah that He allows us to recognize that there are many evictions and salutation about us all the time.


Take your freedom seeds. Do we have the 16 here? No. So he's got to get some beef footage, you know. So much easier.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysKageBrace.com. This little pack filler of 2021 Optic Basketball, one pack break, two random teams, number one. Phil's picker team number one and two as we're giving away six teams and both of those picker teams. So first we do the break, randomize the customer names and teams to strip the hits out. And we're no better in common ship. Just whatever comes out of that pack here that's not better in commons. Then at the end of the break, we'll take off 15 customer names, randomize them, top six names, get a team each and picker team either the number one or two. And of course at number one will be the magic and picker number one. Number two gets magic and picker number two. Three gets the bucks in two, four gets the nets in two, five gets sons in two and paces at two for number six. So let's do the pack filler first really quick. Here's the dice roller, here's the customer names and teams roll. Three and a four, seven times, good luck. One, two, three, four, three, four, five, six, seven. Remember, this is just for the team break first. Sean Matik down to Robert Ronkel, seven times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And again, no trades either guys. Stick to what you got, alphabetize them. Take a quick glance at your teams there. Yeah, stick to what you got guys. Quick pack filler. Oh, we got a color card, but still. Rui Hachimura, there you go. Washington Wizards. Brian Walker, 23 out of one, that's enough. All right, so glad we got something. Now let's switch scenes guys. And again, top six, get in now. So let me move this over here to the giveaway winners. Roll the dice. Three and a four, seven times, good luck. One, two, three, four, three, five, six. Can't believe we rolled a seven again. Yep, oh, seven times. Robert Ronkel at number one, all the way down to Sean Matik. Boom, top six are in. So Robert, congratulations, you just got the magic. That's case, you got the magic at number two. Ryan, you got the bucks at number two. Brian, you got the nets at number two. Christopher with the sons at number two. And Robert Ronkel sneaking in and also getting the paces at number two. So there you go guys. Now coming up next is Pikachu number one, all the way to number two, Jaspyscasebreak.com.


みなさんこんにちは。私はコジマツミヤです。私はソフトウェアエンジニアのデートチェーンです。このセッションに参加します。ハイパーレチュア・ラブズ・ユイについてお話しします。このセッションについてお話しします。このセッションの主要点は、ハイパーレチュア・ラブズ・ユイについてお話しします。まずは、ハイパーレチュア・ラブズ・ユイについてお話しします。ハイパーレチュア・ラブズ・ユイはスターチャル、多くのヘイでヘイのビルチェーン、スッキーブログチェーン、スペラル・モジュール・トゥー、何か特別に重要な材料のIBCのモジュールやレイヤーについて説明することができます。その後、Ui has a cross framework for more complex to execute distributed transactions.We have already released cross frameworks on GitHub,but we have not yet integrated into the UI.So, I'll skip the details of the cross framework.There are several important aspects of UI.I have picked out three there.First, UI doesn't require additional trust by on-chain verification.In short, it means that even when using UI,you can only rely on the security model or the blockchain you are connecting to.Next, UI supports arbitrary data transfer and computation.This means that UI can execute arbitrary smart contracts with each other.Third, UI provides abstract communication methods.Developers just need to design applications that do not depend on the counterparty blockchain.Therefore, UI allows us to develop chain independent.If you need more details,we publish a document named UIDocs and hyper richer robots on GitHub.So, let's move on to the next.IBC is an implementation of the inter-blockchain communication protocolcalled ICS by Interchain Foundation.IBC is a layered protocol as shown in this figure.In IBC, we implement modules for each roleand combine them to achieve interoperability.For example, the routing module is required to link the application to the IBC.The client module behaves as a right clientto verify block headers on the other side.The connection module provides the abilityto safely establish a connection between two blockchains.And so on. Besides, I show the dependencies between each module in this figure,but this doesn't matter in this session.The next slide is just an example of sending a datagram by UI.UI enables interoperabilitywith the IBC-based light client method.Light clients are core componentsto trace and verify counterpart states at local.In order to communicate with new chains,we need a new light client for new chains.One more important component is layer.The layer has a role in the physical connection of IBC.Layer detects and transmits packets from one to the other.And the layer has two important properties,permissionless and trustless.The layer works off-chainand any third-party can operate it.In spite of this,the layer remains trustlessbecause of using the light client.Even if layer sends a false information,the blockchain to which a packet is sent from the layercan detect the correctness by the light client.Now,I'll show you a sequence of sending a packetbetween two blockchains.I assume to connect Cosmos and Hyperledger fabric as an example.I want to go into details of Cosmos.One key point is that Cosmos has a tendermintfor its consensus algorithm.Tendermint light client is included in IBC Go repository.Hyperledger fabric,as many of you know,is a permission-distributed ledger.We call this light client to the fabric client.Fabric client is included in UiFabric IBC repository.And it provides a layer as a UiLayer.Now,let me explain the sequencethe Cosmos sends a packet to Hyperledger fabric.In step one,a sender creates a packetto be sent to fabric in Cosmos.Next,until step five,the UiLayer detectsthe packet and gets the latest header from Cosmosand submits it before sending a packet to Fabric.Because Fabric site needs to know the latest states of Cosmosto verify a packet.And then UiLayer sends a packet to Fabricand Fabric verifies it by tendermint client.If a packet is verified,Fabric calls a function according to your packet.This is a part of the sequence for sending packet using UiLayer.Originally,more steps are required,but some are needed for simplicity.There are various methods to achieve interoperability.But let me jump to the conclusion due to lack of time.The light client method is more secure,but it has low extensibility and high verification cost.This is a time to show you a demonstration of UiLayer.This demo is a token transfer using ICS-20between Fabric and Cosmos.The ICS-20 is a standard used for the token transfer,but let me skip the details.You can try this demo by accessing the Fabric CosmosIBC demo repository.The main components are UiLayer,UiFabric IBC and IBC Go.So,I'll describe a demo scenario.It's assumed that token will be sent from Cosmos to Fabric.At first,the sender initiates the token transferon Cosmos side.And then,the existing token is locked.Next,the UiLayerPacket to the Fabric side.I skip updating the light client at this time for simplicity.If a receiver receives a packet on the Fabric side,new token is minted equivalent to a locked one.Finally,a receiver responds to the acknowledgement packetand the sender accepts it on the Cosmos side.There is a directory structure for Fabric Cosmos IBC demo.The chain code and contract directoryinclude an IBC application that referencestransfer module for Fabric and Cosmos.The networks includes environment for both chains.The layer directory refers to UiLayer.The test directory has scripts and utility for the scenario.So,next,let me skip this slide.I'm also skipping this slide.So far,I've explained an overview of the demonstration.Now,let's begin.In the first step,we have to build the projectby running mac build.The mac file in the routeand this refers to sub-directories.These built IBC applications for Cosmos and Fabric.And the mac file in the layerbuilds a CLI for the layer.And so,all the artifacts show in the lower right.Next,we have to launch networksand initialize by mac setup.So,the setup script kicks inand three more scripts.The startFabric,startCosmos,and the prepare.The startFabric and startCosmosrun each network as a docker container.And the prepareinitialize both networks,create both right grantswith initial statesand initiate opening handshakedescribed by IBC.Each blockchainchecksif initial states are correct.After we run setup script,the following scripts,following results are obtained.We establish channelsand connectionsand we'll see that containers are running.So,this is the final step.We'll run a demo using the mac transfer.The mac transfer kicks a testTX scriptwhich has a demo scenario.Like I said,in this scenario,we transfer the token transferfrom Cosmos to Fabric.This script will print current stateand then run a layerTX transfer commandwith arguments,IBC01,IBC0,IBC1 amount of tokenand recipient address.After execution,the token is lockedon the Cosmos side.Next,this script executesthe layerTX relay commandsto transmit a packetfrom Cosmos to Fabric.And we get the tokenon the Fabric side.Then,the script executesthe layerTX acts commandto reply to Cosmos.As a result,we'll seethat demonstration was successful.So,finally,I'll quickly show youonly current work.Now,we're developing the LCPwith stand forLight Client Proxy.LCP serves the issues of theLight Client method such aslow extensibility and highverification cost.LCP using the TE.TE is a trusted execution environment.TE is a secure area of mainprocessor such as inter-sdxand arm trust zone.More information is availableon GitHub and ourmedium post.So,that's all my presentation.Thank you for listening.


Hey there Chad Banger here for High University Libraries and this video will show you how to request books through Ohio Link. Ohio Link is a great resource to have, especially when you're finding that we don't have a particular book, it may be checked out, or we may not own the book. This is a great way to get books from other schools. This video shows you how to request those books through the Ohio Link catalog. So here you go. So if you're looking for a specific book, in this case I'm looking for the whole enchilada, and you find that the book actually says status due, or status due off campus. If it doesn't say status available, that means you can't go upstairs and check it out of the building because it's not here, it's checked out. So what you can do, if you really want this book and provide on to have it like right this instant, if you're willing to wait like three business days, it's not a whole lot of time to wait, it's three business days, you can actually request that through Ohio Link. So all you can do, all you have to do is click on search Ohio Link and that will look up to see if there are copies available around the state of Ohio. In this case there are plenty of copies available around the state of Ohio. So all you have to do to request that is click on request. Tell it which school you're from. We are from Ohio University so we will select right there, submit. You'll then log in with your HIO ID and password, and before you click submit down here you will definitely want to choose a pickup location. In my case I want to choose Athens Alden. Click submit. The screen will tell me that my request was successful, and I will receive an email when the book arrives in approximately three business days. So a really good excellent way to get resources from other colleges and universities around the state of Ohio. Hopefully this helps you better understand how to find a book and request it through Ohio Link. If you need more help for this or any other research or library topic, please look for the Ask Us link on the library website. We'll be glad to help you any way we can. Take care and best of luck with your research.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're talking about nightmare in Elm Street in this video here today more specifically Robert England's recent commas whip variety on The 2010 remake and where he thinks it went wrong The future of the franchise or how he thinks it should be tackled or what he would do I guess if he were the one involved with it creatively from a writing perspective Talking about his role as Freddy Krueger and why he's not down to return and who he thinks should take up the mantle from him Spoiler is Kevin Bacon still he's just doubled down on it But just to start off with these comments he had about the remake and where he thinks it went wrong He says he had some great comments to make about Jackie Haley who played Freddie in the 2000s and remake he said Jackie's just so good a wonderful actor So I don't think it was that I've always thought that Freddie is described as a child killer So when they made Freddie a child molester, that's not what Freddie is. I don't think by taking it to such a dark dark place There's no room for the personality of Freddie to be exploited in a lot of ways I can agree Jackie again like I stated in the last video I did I don't think Jackie's performance is really the biggest issue as much as it was the design and the writing that he had to work with because all of that those two things the design and The child molestation aspect of how they took it to that darker place that only pushed him further into a corner And I know that's two of the biggest reasons many people do think The 2010 iteration of Freddie is inferior to Robert England's iteration of Freddie and what was Craven had brought to us back in 84 1984 Now he had this to say this being Robert again He had this to say about an idea of how to bring Elm Street into modern times He said you'd have to deal with technology and culture for instance if one of the girls was an influencer It would be interesting for Freddie to somehow haunt her subconscious and manifest himself perhaps exploit everybody that followed her Not a bad idea at all. It's literally something I didn't even bother to think about giving the current times over and we are legitimately living in a time Where people are obsessed with their follower count obsessed with how many people interact with them They're obsessed that is their lifeline If if it's not on social media or something about their social media status They basically can't operate if their social media status or following Empire they've built for themselves were to collapse They would literally lose themselves because we've put in so much an investment into our online identities these days That you definitely could create a nightmarish situation for a modern take on Elm Street that was scared of bejesus out of Gen Z I firmly believe you could do that. He's not wrong there and then He said this when asked about would he be willing to put on the fedora again for the right script? Unfortunately, this is the heartbreaking aspect of his interview not too shocking But still just sad to hear from him because he is considered by many myself included to be an icon Even though he humbly has recognized that he himself is not an icon, but Freddy Krueger is sir You are an icon. It's very nice that you are humble, but you are an icon Robert when asked again about Putting on the fedora again. He said I'm too old and thick to play Freddy now I just can't do fight scenes for more than one take anymore. I've got a bad neck and bad back and arthritis in my right wrist So I have to hang it up, but I would love to cameo And then he went on to double down on who he thinks should play in modern-day Freddy Krueger He said Kevin Bacon when meant when Kevin Bacon was mentioned. He said I know he respects the jarra And he's such a fine physical actor I think that in the side that in the silence isn't in the way Kevin moves. It would be interesting now Robert's comments about his obvious aging is exactly why I have been fine with accepting that he is not going to play Freddy Krueger again in an official new entry to the series Because of the fact that he's getting older. I am okay with that I don't think that we need to continue to hold on to that I've seen some very creative ways that people have come up come up within my quote tweets it out on a tweet I put out earlier of how they could do this. I don't think we need to do that though I think it would be complete waste of time if the actors involved are down to do it I mean sure but still at the end of the day Why would an actor? Who wants to maybe bring their own spin on Freddy that is their own take and Lives and pays respect pays respect somehow to what Robert has done Why would you want to fill the shoes of the character, but then Robert's face is Digitally put onto yours So so we can all have this pretend Fantasy that Robert is able to still do it. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see someone's body With Robert's face. I don't want to see that. I want to accept that Robert is recognizing his current age Everybody gets old He's willing to accept a new person in the role. I think we need to accept it now We don't need to accept somebody who is doing a terrible job. That's not what I'm saying But we do need to accept that somebody else can play Freddy Cougar similar to how somebody else obviously can play Joker somebody else can play the creeper although that was terrible and she was group is for All these characters that solely have this one person who brought them to life in the strongest way They are not the only people That can bring those characters life. It's objectively just the truth They might be the only people that can bring it to life in the most entertaining and engaging way It might be the only people that can get me to give a damn about the character because I grew up with them And there's a nostalgic aspect to it, but they simply are not the only person that can Obviously portray the role anybody can be Freddy Cougar It's just who are you going to pinpoint as the next runner up to dawn the makeup dawn the fedora and say, okay, Robert Here's somebody we have in mind. What do you think? I would love to love for Robert England to be part of the creative process as it pertains to tracking down the Next Freddy Cougar if it's not Kevin Bacon, and if they want to explore somebody else I would love for Robert to be the one to pinpoint them I mean that way even if it's not a good idea or something that people don't agree with and once the film comes out At least we know that Robert was a part of the process of picking them So there was something about them that he believed could have ended up being something tremendous Even if it ended up being a travesty. I would love for Robert to just be a part of picking the part Who he thinks should pick up the mantle from him if they don't go with Kevin Bacon or somebody else But you guys let me know what you think about this down the comment section below He had some again very interesting comments to make about the remake how he thinks the franchise can move forward in modern times Where he currently stands as far as reprising the character and doubling down on Kevin Bacon Let me know what you think about all this down the comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification numbers video in the description. I will have links on social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know any movies news or reviews let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Hey guys today, I'm riding with Philip. He's over there And we're gonna put our hard and brutal trainings up to date Pretty much we haven't trained like seriously for me like since Lagar and him since right before Lagar so what we have planned today is in the morning do one lap of the extreme of along and then on the afternoon go to the region of Lagar and push the bike up those trails sounds good let's go


Freedom! I know you have heard the great news. We're over one billion strong. Over one billion views per month is what we are currently having as a network. Now, my question to you is how you plan to move on from here. Now, of course, just like any fast food chain that's nationally or even worldwide recognized, you could just boast on the whole one billion serve thing. Or you can focus on your quality. You can focus on your own personal marketing for your gaming or logging or whatever kind of channel you do. At what point on your channel specifically do you think that the numbers don't matter anymore? Now, of course, we use these benchmarks. You know, we love to talk about them. We love to keep you informed on what's going on. However, sometimes you can do yourself a disservice by focusing too much on the numbers and not enough on your quality, your content, what you're doing. Welcome to YouTube, home of the YouTube. Can I take your order? Yeah, what I would be interested in seeing is the freedom family on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, wherever making a pledge to your audience about whether or not you will let your numbers dictate who you are and what you do. Now, numbers are important. Don't get me wrong. I am the kind of guy who lives in YouTube analytics. But it's really less about the numbers and more about trying to figure out who my audience is, what they care about, and what works and what doesn't. So I would be very interested for everyone this week to record a video talking about your pledge on YouTube, what it is you're pledging to your audience, to yourself, and of course to really anyone else who matters. Sometimes, we as YouTubers let our personal stuff slide, like taking the dog out or, I don't know, personal relationships with significant others. Yeah, because the way to a woman's heart is through YouTube. However, it's very important for us all to realize that it's these pledges that really matter. It's who you answer to. And a lot of times, that's going to be friends and family first, and then possibly going out from there, other people we respect and whatnot. And somewhere in there's your audience and somewhere in there's yourself. So my personal pledge is this. I am going to continue doing videos that make me happy the way I love doing videos, and I'm not going to let the trolls dictate who I am or what I do. Stop trying to pretend to be so hyper in your videos. We know it's not really you. How could you possibly prefer to perform this way in a way that makes you happy? No. That's your homework for today. I know this isn't the school channel, but I think this is an interesting concept. I would like to do this. It doesn't have to be in a vlog format. It can be a text post on Twitter. It can be you talking over gameplay, but I do want everyone to share this with the hashtag Freedom Family. That way, I can look at these and possibly pick a few to spotlight because they've got good reasons, or they've got good pledges. Anyways, till next time, I'm Anthony with Freedom. Like, subscribe, comments, please. And we will grow together as a family because this is the Freedom Family. You are part of it, we are all part of it, and we're all growing together. So there I am. I'm just a gamer putting up gaming footage. Next thing I know, I own a YouTube network. Next thing I know, now I work for an MCN. Go figure. It's kind of crazy. So grow with us and partner with Freedom. That play now button right there on the video bar is all you need to click to get started. I have news. Such big news. So news. Such big. Much awesome. Let's see here. Where's me? Down there. Testing, testing. We are going to. It's freaking awesome. Okay.
