Okay, and hello and welcome to the Jenkins documentation office hours today is September 14th This is the EU US edition and today we have myself and bring over rock bin Mark is in joining us today since he's at DevOps world tour. And so Anyone else joins up? We'll welcome them as they come in and for now. We'll go over the agenda And so on the agenda some updates for Google Summer of Code Just check in on the process of choosing a plug-in bomb The Java proposal that mark has been working on and we've been discussing the addition of the platform information section Just a note on DevOps world tour and some housekeeping stuff because mark is at DevOps world tour Docs office hours Asia are canceled this week And you can see here, they even discussed it last week at the Asian Docs Asia Docs office hours So that will not be happening later today Yeah, anything else that needs to go on the agenda or does that cover? I don't think so. Thank you, Kevin Okay, cool So first things first so Google's come Google Summer of Code is getting to the end of the timeline So the projects for the most part are complete and we're just waiting on blog blog post recaps for many of them Just to go through them individually. So for the doc compose for tutorials The project is complete. It does need some more work to deploy and be included in documentation But it's completed. So really great to hear there And could use some help from the infantry Infra team which might be something they are able to do during Hectoberfest But we'll figure that out when you can sign to Hectoberfest To be determined on that front The versioned site for Jenkins.io from Vandit is going amazingly well It's still being worked on it's still being developed, but they've done a lot of work since the last time we checked in with them They've fixed a lot of the links that were there. They've updated a lot of the just kind of the front end there And then they're using Gatsby as the front end and GitHub for both for review and so The pull requests are arriving the blog post layout arrived last this is last week now for Chris and Yeah, it looks like it's on track to complete a couple weeks. So Looks like everything is going swimmingly there final layout still under development and again, they fixed a lot of the linkage and navigation that was not working or Leading to the incorrect places last time. So great work there. Thank you again to Vandy I get lab plug-in moderate modernization still being still being worked on They need some more testing to compare all the new behavior, but things are going well there And then the plug-in health score. So Djigrude's posted a couple of different blog posts to recap the different probes that they've gotten launched there is one that still is pending to be merged and The rest are on the Jenkins blog So check that out and I think a couple of them were actually called out in Last week stocks office hours. So the number of open issues probe the dedicated the deprecated JSR 305 imports probe And then there is the one that still needs to be merged But thanks to jacuzzi jacuzzi for writing all those up The one that was merged does and one never had a couple comments on it. So that one does need to be Re-examined just to see if those comments are applicable. They seem to be pretty straightforward feedback about what some extra context that could help in terms of using the abstract that jagrude was using and Just some context to help the readers understand a little bit more about the background of the probe. So We'll follow up there But yeah, again plug-in health score is reaching going toward the end of the project Adrienne has returned from holidays guidance and Yeah, it looks like the oh the final presentations happened earlier today Bruno. Is that correct? Yes, we had great presentations and demos earlier today all went fine And I'm pretty happy with the results of this season of G stock for Jenkins. I think the progress are Amazing frankly, I'm really proud of what the contractors managed to do this year. Congrats to everybody mentors and contributors Of course admins. Thank you Jean-Marc Alissa and Chris for the amazing work And Bruno, but that's okay I was just a mentor, you know, I'm a wannabe admin I should be admin next year This year I was building my muscles, you know most of the time I was just looking at how things get done and next year that will be my my turn just into the regional I Just lost the wording. I'm done. Anyway, yes And just a few words about Ashwater's project He came to the Jenkins infra Meeting this week and Damian Gipolto took some time to explain what was needed to get His work integrated into Jenkins and for our Jenkins CI organization, you know As you know, we have a chicken and egg problem We can't modify the documentation pointing to the Ashwater's private not public but own Repo, you know, it's not part of the Jenkins organization. So Damian gave a roadmap list of things to do So now Ashwater knows precisely what he has to do before his work gets Integrated into the Jenkins CI or infrared condition and then we'll be able to make some PRs to modify the existing But at least we've got something to chew on that's pretty cool That's awesome. And that's the Docker compose project correct Bruno. You're right. Yeah. Okay. So I'm sure great Fantastic and the recording for the Jenkins online meetup will that be available later? Yeah, later on today. Maybe what worse tomorrow morning. It will be on the meetup page for this Event and of course on community dot Jenkins dot IO Right. Cool. Just want to make sure that the reporting will be available at some point not yeah No rush on that obviously, but yeah, just to make sure that For anyone who's interested, they'll be able to watch it back later and see the presentations. So really exciting great Anything else on the Google summer code to discuss Bruno or does that cover a thing? No, thank you. Okay. Great So next step on the agenda so The process of choosing a plug-in bomb. So this was started as a discussion in this pull request A user Kyle had submitted This issue saying, you know, hey like what How do we know what which version to choose? Is there A way that we could determine which version is For what purpose or just to make this process clear for users for end users And so there's been some discussion here Mark provided some static examples that we could have so stuff like the last Jenkins LTS to support Java 8 first one to support Java to require Java 11 most current one so just stuff like that but and potentially using the update CLI to do those updates and include and Kind of facilitate those updates accordingly Um, there hasn't been any progress here. Uh, since we had started talking about it a couple weeks ago I'm likely not to be more progress due to other priorities coming up, but This is something that is happening currently in, uh, the Jenkins repo. So it's Uh, definitely worth discussing and further considerations Yes, uh We'll be glad to see the output of the discussion because as Jenkins end user I was often puzzled By which version should I choose and why and frankly, I think the documentation does not exist yet So that will be something nice for me to read And uh, yeah, and and mark had actually included something like this for the improving a plugin tutorial So this it does exist it is there, but there definitely could be some Um, enhancements to the documentation to make that more clear for users There is uh, some slight inconsistency in the improved plugin tutorial when it comes to choosing the bomb because in some places like you are showing there It's 2.375 and in some other places it's a 2.387 And you just don't know why it's like that right And so, uh, this sort of thing would help to alleviate that issue kind of just get rid of all the questions at that point And make it nice and simple and straightforward for users to understand which bomb they should be using Yeah, thanks a lot for the user who raised this issue because I was I've been puzzled several times, but I haven't taken the time to raise an issue about that I should have so thanks a lot sfcgh Cleon hold for that issue Yeah, I think uh, I think his first name is kyle. So Uh, thank you kyle. Yeah, just to make like easier. I don't know how to pronounce that any of these things So but yeah, uh, so great to have that. Thank you again And uh, yeah, so more to be done now Uh, and then so uh, next up on the agenda. So the java support and kind of just Java for jenkins proposal that we've been discussing marks been putting together. Uh, so There's the existing google doc where we there's all these potential options here Uh, some things that have been included and updated this trend this transition to a two plus two plus two java support um, and so Uh, the idea is that this would help line up with The way that java is doing its own releases And so, uh, this diagram Visualizes explains a little bit better. But so So we have Java 11's availability jengens on java 11 when it was required oldest supported Uh, and just how we can support java going forward for the for t-ball future And this is you know, this is looking at all the way up to java 33 and you know 2020 and 2034 so We're looking out real far. But the idea is that this would help to align Jenkins and java support. Um, it also coincides with how support is handled through the The vendors themselves and and other Uh, operating system select windows support um, linux support stuff like that and Yeah, and then uh, and it also goes into Stuff like when we start to Uh, notify users that java 11 isn't is heading towards end of life. So getting that an admin monitor working Uh for the java process as well as os And then yeah java 21 is uh already being worked on by the infotain to include in jengens Uh, it's going to be the preview function the preview Version of java 21 is available currently. Uh, and when java 21 is properly released in, uh Jesus like less than a week at this point. That's five days to go. Yeah So, uh, our goal is to have java 21 supported in jengens, uh by octo by october 23rd or so is roughly the uh Goal timeline. We've given ourselves. So Um, but yeah, things are happening really quickly. Uh, this has been Being worked on by a lot of developers and engineers. Um, thanks to you basal crow. Thanks to damon's a portal Ervela mirror stephan Who I forget stephan's last name right now Stay fine. Yeah stephan male Because uh, I got another email from a different step Uh, just thanks to everyone that's been working on this and testing and creating and uh, testing with getting java 21 into the jengens core it's going really well so far and is really huge in Getting this this java proposal off the ground the way we want it to Yeah, uh team jack almost you also worked on the jdk 21 and I think it was the first to propose to have jengens contour image with jdk 21 beta version And this week I saw a new contributor to jenkins appear and make a proposal What about having an agent a jenkins agent using jdk 21? And he has done the the pull request after raising the issue and Kenneth Salerno has also worked on that. So now we have the three jenkins agents available for jdk 21 for arm v7 s3 90x ppc 64 le Arch 64 and also alpine Arch 64 So yes, even the community wants to see jenkins on jdk 21 even with docker That's yeah, clearly That's awesome fendt amazing. I yeah, there was more people than I even knew working on this stuff and even more that I didn't I still don't know working on this stuff. So that's really incredible to hear and Super encouraging that everyone's really excited about it and wants to see it happen. So that's great. That's amazing um, and uh, yeah, just just fantastic to hear and Actually see in action. Um, you know, this is a community effort and it's being done really I mean really wholeheartedly, which is nice um, and then In addition to this, uh, I'm going through the documentation Um to make sure that this all works with 20 java 21 Hmm And so right now I'm going through the guided tour everything seems to be going well there There's the node j s the python and the maven tutorials as well, which we need to go through but Yeah, for the most part Everything's going okay there. There are some documentation needs for the java 21 that are similar to the java 17 doc needs so uh, thankfully it won't be That thankfully we'll just need to add some documentation there and adjust the existing documentation Um, but yeah, just making sure that the tutorials and a lot of the instructional information is working Anything else on the java? Topic Bruno No, thank you. Okay. Okay So the next step so uh adding the existing requirements support policy documentation to the assistant administration section. So So I've created a new chapter for this called platform information We had uh mark had taken it to the doc's office hours asia to get some review and and uh triage because I was having a couple issues They were able to figure that out mark submitted some pull requests to my repo to get that all cleared up So now it's properly, uh, organized and I found the Missing piece that I didn't have and now it works I need to update the index page text itself because uh, I had initially just put some Placeholder text in there while I was trying to make sure it was working Now that it is working properly. I can do the rest of it. So Yeah, so everything's looking good there. Um, I've got the next steps for that and I just need to get the text put in So, um, hopefully I'll have that pull request created within the next week or so Uh Next up. So devops world tour has officially started out of this week. Uh, yesterday was the first day today is the second day and uh Between yesterday and today. So that's the new york session Mark is currently there giving a talk. Maybe it's already he's already done his talk But either way he's in new york hanging out at devops world tour And there'll be after each devops world tour Session day event. Uh, there'll be a jankins after hour session You know, let's talk about jankins That'll be held after each conference and um, yeah, it'll just be a nice opportunity to talk jankins with Mark and whoever else might be attending And then we also have the singapore and london locations where uh, libya, libya elami and tim jacombe will be speaking respectively We just published a really short blog post about it. Um Just to give you a quick intro to who's going to be there and what the what the deal is Um, and that what that let's talk about jankins uh deal is so Um, just a nice little intro here, but uh, yeah devops world tour is currently happening If you have not registered yet and still want to attend there are several locations and dates still there um And you have a couple weeks until chicago silicon valley singapore and uh thankfully london is until the end of November so plenty of time to still register and attend Uh, and then the last thing I had on the agenda again, just a quick house keeping note Uh, docks office hours asia is canceled this week since mark is at devops world tour Uh, so anyone attending then? Well, you don't attend just don't there's nothing to attend at that point One very last thing before we wrap it up I think there is a newsletter draft Going on for the august months Um, of course, it is much shorter than what we have the other month because of course During august people go on vacation. So not so much happened during the august months So there will be little to You know little to read, but that's okay Yeah, no, it's a great call Bruno, uh, I saw the draft and I remembered I have to go through it Uh an update my section a little bit. I think there was an update but um Yeah, the august newsletters Currently pull requests in the jenkins repo. So that um, yeah, we just need to get that up And that hopefully we'll get that published within the next few days Yep So, uh, yeah, no great awesome. Thank you very much bruno for uh, you're welcome calling that out Uh, and that covers the agenda that we had for today Anything else to discuss throughout their chair or does that cover everything bruno? I think you covered everything. Thank you kevin. Yeah, cool. All right, great. So then um, we'll go ahead and stop the recording here It'll be available 24 to 48 hours Thank you for joining as always and until next time. See you then Bye


So recently Facebook said they're making a kid's only version of Instagram and this video is about how not only is that not gonna work but kids on social media it's a bad idea. So if you know me in Facebook you know that I'm not a big fan of Facebook and everything they do and Instagram is probably the worst plague to well I guess inhabit the internet to be hosted and be accessible through the internet. It's essentially and I'll put this as unapologetically as possible the normies gateway to the internet. It's what a lot of quote-unquote normal people use and for that it should be punished.  So the first red flag it's essentially just a pedophile's dream.  That's absolutely the perfect thing for these sorts of criminals. Sure they can disable private messaging on Instagram kids but it's probably not gonna do much because these sorts of criminals they have their ways. Another retort to this being good idea is that YouTube tried this exact same thing and it failed miserably. The thing is kids especially on the internet they want to see stuff that they're normally not able to see on television or in this place that you may have heard of called real life. Kids are like sponges they see something and they just soak it up they learn a lot about the stuff they see and if they have access to something like the internet where it's a gigantic repository of people and information false information skewed information that may be very misleading and very very biased and stuff if they have access to that kind of stuff as they do in the modern age that's basically gonna cause them to be very attracted to that because kids love learning new things.  I watch that kind of stuff as a kid and no I'm not proud of watching the AVGN when I was seven and learning all those nasty cuss words but it had some effect on me. Basically my point is kids want free access to everything including things are definitely not meant to have access to so if you try to restrict that they're just gonna get around things in worse ways. It's the same thing with things that used to be illegal but then became illegal and then became legal again like for example drinking alcohol in the United States. It's a bit odd to compare YouTube kids to prohibition but I'm gonna try anyway. So you know you got the prohibition during the 1920s the government decided that people are not meant to drink and drinking is bad and it leads to wife beating so it's bad. So after making drinking illegal it is true that some people did stop drinking and the rate of drinking saw a drop but eventually it went back up higher than ever because people began getting it from illegal sources and they were getting harder liquor and less safe liquor and younger people who used to not be able to drink were now drinking more because hey if I'm breaking the law by drinking I might as well also break the law by drinking underage because what's the point if I'm still going to break the law and as we all know all of this eventually led to alcohol being legalized once again in the United States. Okay so moving on from saying that Instagram kids is a bad idea to explaining why kids on the internet in general is a bad idea.  Sites like Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr have very well defined agendas around them and they have properly tuned algorithms to push certain agendas whether it benefits them, their advertisers or just makes them more money. These highly political agendas are often reflected in what you see on your feed and what kind of things are allowed to prosper on the site and what aren't. Just look at YouTube or if you say anything their advertisers might not like you're basically sc*****.  Well maybe that's second to something like brutal medieval torture but it's pretty close and to think that many young adults and regular adults are not really able to think past the bias of these websites with their matured developed brains that just puts into perspective how dangerous it is to let a child roam these sorts of websites for their understanding of the world. To gain a proper understanding of the world you have to have an exposure to everything and you have to be able to critically think about it but these websites don't want you thinking critically because if you think critically you're probably not gonna use these websites and that means they lose out on money. So yeah Instagram kids and kids on the internet is a really bad idea and I really hope this whole Instagram kids thing flops or fails or something really bad happens so it does not succeed because I think it will have very detrimental effects on children. Anyway thanks for listening to my rant please put thoughts and opinions and stuff in the comments I'm really interested to see what people think about this kind of thing and I've been Denshi, goodbye.


Whales are majestic creatures. They're the largest animals in the largest ecosystem on Earth, our oceans. The oceans play a huge role in regulating Earth's climate, something that NASA studies every day. So as Art Director for NASA Science, I found this the perfect opportunity to bring these two subjects together in this year's NASA Earth Day poster. First, I blocked out the composition with simple shapes, then wrapped NASA satellite imagery around the shapes of whales and fish overlaid on ocean data. I used swirly cloud patterns called von Karman Vortices to create motion. These patterns are caused by disruption of airflow around land features like islands. The subtle color changes in the patterns in the ocean imagery are caused by turning sediment, organic matter, and phytoplankton. This artwork is completely made of NASA's satellite data, which we provide fully and freely to the public. Satellites like Pace and Swat give us a unique view of the ocean from space and help us understand our amazing, watery world. Happy Earth Day, everyone.


Are you like, this is the person I'm going for or I'm hoping to get? Honestly, no. I thought it would be a good fit with pretty much all of the sharks, although I will say, I did not see myself taking a deal with Kevin O'Leary. It didn't go into the tank thinking, oh, this is a Kevin product, but it makes perfect sense because, well, for anyone that hasn't seen the show, there were a couple of sharks, Laurie Grenier and Kevin O'Leary were fighting over me there.


When I grow up I want to be a teacher. I want to become a vet. To be a doctor when I grow up. I want to become a lawyer. Change the world! Welcome to Guyana. We're very happy to have you here, and we're really excited to tell you about our FMM funded project. We've been working very hard with our valued partners and collaborators, the ministries of education, human services and social protection, and the Ministry of Agriculture. We're extremely grateful to be part of this program, and this has helped us to achieve some very exciting results this year. We focused here on the school feeding program in Guyana, and our job was to create a case study to show off or to showcase how farmers' livelihoods can be enhanced and simultaneously providing improved and sustained nutrition to school-aged children. We've completed our assessment of the national school feeding programs. We have helped the Ministry of Education to develop the pillars of a school feeding policy going forward. We have designed a pilot project for implementing our linkage between school feeding and farmers, small farmers. We have assessed over 300 small farmers to help them to become ready to participate in the school feeding program. I really want to thank all of the partners and the collaborators who we have worked with these past few months to collect all of this data and to do these studies. It tells a very compelling story about opportunities for improving lifelong healthy eating. We are now interested and we are as excited as the rest of our partners to move to the next stage from study to action. Your continued support is needed to ensure that we have the capability to scale up the results we have. Thank you for your collaboration. Thank you for visiting Guyana and we look forward to seeing you in person or virtually very soon. From beautiful Guyana everyone, my name is Chandel Rodriguez and in turn attached to the FAO Guyana office. Today, I am happy to tell you all about the school feeding sub-program implementation in Guyana. Are you ready? Let's go. The post COVID-19 world, school feeding programs are even more of a priority because they help countries to build a healthy and educated population while supporting local economic development. Together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, flexible multi-parter mechanism, Guyana is strengthening the linkages between school feeding programs and smallholder farmers in rural and hinterland communities throughout the country. As part of our efforts to provide safe and nutritious food for all, Guyana has adopted measures to consolidate its national school feeding program. We are strengthening the linkages and synergies between consumers and food producers so as to deliver safe, healthy and nutritious school meals. This will also help provide small farmers with a guaranteed market for a portion of their produce. Today, we are joining to Barima Waini Region 1, the most northwestern hinterland region of Guyana. We are here today with the head teacher of the Santa Rosa Primary School located in Maruka Sub-District. Miss, can you tell us how the school feeding program is supporting the school and how meals are provided in your school? Good morning, my name is Miss Cheryl Atkinson. I am a teacher of Santa Rosa Primary School. This primary school has the largest enrollment in the sub-region with a total of 620 pupils. We have been benefiting from this feeding program for several years now. We have seen improvement in pupils' attendance and functionality, increased level of performance at national and internal assessment. Our local businesses and farmers are also benefiting because the kitchen, fortresses, groceries, meat and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. Most food items are being sold from the community. The cooks are also given a stipend which boosts the income to provide for their families. Parents are also saving since they don't have to buy lunch for their children like before. The quality of the food is wholesome and nourishing. The pupils are provided with a balanced diet. I can safely say the feeding program is a beneficial venture which goes a long way and I am very grateful to the Ministry of Education for that. Thank you. Now we turn our attention to pupils of the Santa Rosa Primary School. Listen to their story. Hello, my name is Kleiner Jepes. I attend the Santa Rosa Primary School in Region 1. Many schools across the country have been benefiting from the Ministry of Education School feeding program. My school is one of them. Since this program started, it is really beneficial to us. Nutritional food are offered. We eat them comfort and so many more benefits. We appreciate it very much. Thank you. My name is Justin Lewis. I reside at Kamakamoroko which is located in Region 1. I attend the Santa Rosa Primary School. From home, I normally walk about two and a half miles to get to school with my cousin every day.  Our school feeding program provides a delicious meal for all school children every day. They give us fruit juice daily with a variety of nutritious foods making it a balanced diet. Since I am in Grade 6, preparing for my National Grade 6 exam, I need a lot of energy and nutrients to keep me working hard. Our school feeding program feels this need perfectly. Therefore, I wish to thank the school feeding program for their service because we all benefit. I wish the service would continue for us and the many peoples of the future. Thank you. There are con-class other stories of the benefits and successes of the school feeding program in Guyana. And so, even at the highest level, there is a national drive to ensure school meals continue and, more importantly, are linked with farmers. My name is Christina James and I am the chairperson for the Buckeye Women's School. We are situated in Mabuma, the region of Guyana. And we are agro-processing foods. So, we produce cassava, cocoa, coffee, cashewnuts. And we also have a shape host that we produce season and some vegetables. We have been supplying the schools with our locally made cassava bread and our cashews, our season, and they were able to purchase some vegetables as well from us. That's been a great help to the group towards marketing our product. The school feeding program has benefited me as well as my grandchildren, also members of the community. And some of the women from the group who are farmers, they were able to benefit from the feeding program as well. Thank you to the government of Guyana for championing local effort to nourish our children's one local economy at a time. Thank you FMM Resource Partners. We hope you enjoy discovering the school feeding subprogram in Guyana.


Morinda tinctoria leaf extract was used to reduce silver ions into silver nanoparticles, which were then characterized by UV vis spectrophotometry, SEM, XRD, EDX, FTIR, and photodegradation of methylene blue. The results showed that the synth-sized silver nanoparticles had good dispersion and morphology, as well as crystallinity and purity. Additionally, the green synth-sized silver nanoparticles exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity in degrading methylene blue under sunlight irradiation.


Namaskar. I'm Professor Devdeep Purkayastha from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Welcome to my course, Business Fundamental for Entrepreneurs Part 1, Internal Operations. As part of the course, I'm very pleased to welcome Professor Umakan Jayaram, who is a very illustrious finance industry veteran to share a few modules. Professor Umakanth is an alum of IIT, Bombay, and he went on to do his MBA, post which he has 30 years plus of industry experience in various aspects of finance. He has worked extensively in the banking industry, he has founded his own company, he has sold his own company, and he serves now as a public interest board member at the Bombay Stock Exchange. So it is my pleasure to hand over to Professor Umakanth for his module. Welcome to the module on finance for tech entrepreneurs. My name is Umakan Jayaram and I shall be your instructor today for walking through two modules on finance. My background has been in engineering but I've actually lived my entire career in finance and banking and have also got a first-hand experience of running a firm as an entrepreneur. It is my experience that has been in my guideline on setting this module together and what I would like to stress upon is these modules are not intended to actually teach you finance to the level of being a professional but is a sensitization and an appreciation course for founders and non-finance executives to know their sense of finance. My emphasis has been to actually focus on those issues that all founders need to know or must know about finance and accounting. Let me walk you through the five objectives that I've laid down for these modules. These are the five things that I feel that every founder needs to know. One is around the literacy that every founder needs to have about the terms in finance. By literacy I mean he should be able to actually read and talk with a financial accounting or a financial analyst or even an investor in terms that they understand about his business. The second objective is the basics of accounting, the whole accounting cycle to the point of financial statement preparation. The third objective is a very operational and important objective for a founder and that is to actually manage cash flow. Whilst your literacy and basic accounting is something that you will pick up over the course of time and needs a little bit of orientation but the basics of managing cash flow is a must have. You've got to start your business with that approach because cash flow is very important for startups. The next module is what is very, very popularly used in startup terms for describing a business model in terms of the revenues and expenses that it may have to incur repetitively and the profitability potential of a particular business. This is called unit cost economics. It basically looks at the business at a unit level and it identifies and tracks all the costs and expenses on one side and all the revenues that may come into the business on the other side and sees whether one basically compensates for the other note. This approach is considered to be the standard among startups to describe how a particular business is presenting itself to various levels of investors at various stages of a startup. The final and the most important one and this is what founders always ask me about is how do I value my business? Well, valuation, whether it's pre-revenue or post-revenue is all based on what price you can give to the business in the eyes of the investor. But there are some more all basic approaches for valuations and what we'll share with you and the basic concepts are drive valuations. We shall cover that in the core of finance, the axioms of finance and we shall also look at an example of how to plan or to raise or to put together a financial forecast plan for your business so that you can share with an investor where you want to drive this business to and how you will actually make this profitable in some years to come. These are thought by the five main objectives that every founder needs to know at the very basic level for finance in your business. That said, let's move to the first topic. Before we go into literacy, it's important to realize that from a finance perspective all businesses seem to be looking the same way. They all seem to have the same characteristics from idea to listing. And the characteristic we show through a red line is what is known as a hockey stick curve. This is the amount of income and sometimes even the cash that the operations of the firm will go through over a period of time. In the phase of the development of the product or the service that you're putting together this is the phase of investments. So idea to development, the downward movement, you know, red curve is essentially the curve for investments. I'll show it here. This is when you're actually bringing together resources to build your idea. After the investments are being fully invested the marginal investments required to make your idea complete through a whole cycle of product market fit is considered to be reducing. It's considered to be reducing because not because the marginal investments are less at the latest age of your product development. It is because by that time you would have probably started citing revenue. You would have suddenly started citing at least your first beta clients. Then you got validation and now you move towards betting some kind of revenues. These revenues basically compensate for the additional investments that you're making. And so the curve starts moving upwards. You will have a go-no-go decision, some kind of a personal checkpoint gate which answers the question as to whether your product has been successful in the marketplace or not. And really that time you should not be spending any more money. That is called the point of market fit. And from market fit to scale, businesses are supposed to at least the innovative businesses are supposed to have exponential growth in income generation or in cash flow which means the slope of this line is going to be very steep. A normal business would probably be seeing a growth like this but an innovative or a tech-based startup is expected to actually grow steeply. As the steep growth starts translating in the marketplace the whole concept of competition comes in. There will be me-to-products and other follow-on investments coming in from others which will actually make the product a little bit more mature will have to compete with other products and therefore the income generation will start tapering off when the business becomes mature. Most businesses do not operate in isolation. There is always a contest. So if you have to put things in perspective, this whole journey seems to be the pursuit of a unique business opportunity in the midst of constraints. The first constraint, the pursuit of opportunities and this opportunity is usually a client need or a problem that has not been solved by the market currently and you have to pursue this opportunity through your ideation and through your innovation but you also have to experience constraints. These constraints are fund constraints, funding constraints and they are also the constraints of the right risk that you have whether the market will accept your product or not. We don't know there are constraints around that so it's not natural that this curve will be transcended in just the same way without any uncertainty. The biggest uncertainty that most startup entrepreneurs need to actually overcome is this uncertainty around whether these investments will pay off. So in startup terms, this is called the value of death and most people, most founders are really challenged to how as to how they are going to transcend this value of death. At least in finance terms, this is the main question that will be asked by investors and also by owners of themselves such as the way that we will look at a business or a startup. This is quite different from how a founder or a technologist or a marketer will look at a startup. The marketer will be looking at whether a product or idea is going to have a customer acceptance that fulfills a customer need whether it's going to be having a value proposition that is going to be translated into a scalable, profitable opportunity. The technologist will be really trying to look at a new way or a new innovative way of solving what he calls as a problem that is there in the marketplace. Whereas a finance person, his main objective is to see whether this is a worthwhile investment and can this curve be transcended without any risk? This is the main perspective that we are basically going to hold on to in our sessions on finance and accounting. Moving on, we have to understand that in all businesses, finance comes into play at three different levels. The three levels in which finance is actually conversed in is one of the level of strategy. This is when the startup itself has been conceived and very quickly the founders need to raise cash they need to raise equity, what is known as the seed capital by presenting an idea. They need to actually at least be very clear in their own mind as to what is the pathway for founders to distribute the risk of investing in this business themselves. More importantly, how will they split the rewards? And these are known as cap tables. They also need to know as to how they can create value. Eventually a business is nothing but the agglomeration of several assets. And assets as we will see very soon as defined in finance is nothing but something that generates cash flow in the future. Generates a stream of cash flow. So this bunch of assets that go together to form a business is what the founders need to put to work in order to generate cash flows in the future which will be valued in the eyes of the investor. The founders therefore will be actually coming out with strategies at the operating level as to how he should run his business from time to time and explain to all the stakeholders including the owners as to what is the pathway, how far are we from profitability. Just the same way as a GMAP will tell you how far you are from a destination. Financial reports usually serve that purpose of supporting a strategy. At the operating level, the next level, it's about the day-to-day decision making that needs to get done which have consequences in the long term. Such decision making is something like capital budgeting, buying a capital asset, something like pricing, how do I price my products into the marketplace, something like capacity building, how much of capacity should I actually have in-house, how much should I outsource, what assets should I buy and what assets can I lease. These decisions are usually done at the operating level. Finance plays a role here as well. It plays a role here through a bunch of analytics that sits on top of the accounts that the company will prepare. We will see examples presented in this session as we go along. One or two examples of how finance helps us and helps owner's decisions at the operating level. The third level in which finance helps is the tactical level and this is very important to know. For a startup founder, his biggest concern in most times is that does he have enough cash to run his business? Cash flow is the key.  You may have the best plans but if you don't have the cash you're pretty much run out of business.  Liquidity is a term that we use for firms to describe that aspect of cash they need to survive for the foreseeable future. So in short, finance is used at all three levels that is important for the business owner. And how this is actually translating for business owners to actually make use of and how much can the business owner actually know all of this himself and how much can he depend on professionals is a balance that he should actually look at himself. Some of the businesses are started up by people who have a prior experience in finance. For them, they have a head start advantage. But for technologists and entrepreneurs who do not have a background in finance it is important to know that amongst all the languages that is spoken in business there are three languages in the disciplines of accounting, finance and economics that go together to call the trifecta language of business. How accounting and accountants look at a business is very typical with terms and concepts which is unique on its own. This is very similar to how marketers look at products and consumer behavior. They speak in terms which are drawn from psychology or sociology. Accountants have a discipline of their own. That discipline is basically looking at the data around all the expenses all the incomes, streams, all the investments which are individually made in transactions that actually sum up to many, many millions in a course of three months. An average company would probably transact about 15,000 to 16,000 transactions in a month. And what are these transactions? These are transactions which make changes to the essential two aspects of finance in a company. You should see what those aspects are. These aspects are called assets and liabilities. You should know what these terms mean. But the important point to know is having dealt with this information in a particular way the accounting function basically prepares through classification a set of three reports. One is a balance sheet. This report basically tells the owner what is the state of affairs of his business as on a particular date. It tells the owner whether he is solvent, whether he has got adequate forthcoming cash flows to take care of all his forthcoming obligations. We shall look at the balance sheet very closely in the next unit. The second statement is the income statement. And the income statement gives the owner a flow description of how the business has performed over a period. I.e. how much income has been generated by the business and how much of expenses has been spent by the business. The net of these two is the profit that is made by the business. The third statement which is very, very important for a startup founder and indeed for any manager is a statement of cash flows. And this statement basically gives you the amount of cash that the business is generating and the amount of cash that it is spending or is attracting from investors. These are the three statements or three basic views of the business in financial terms. I'll beat historical information prepared in a particular rules-based algorithm approach that constitute a common way of looking at all businesses. And why this is needed is because investors who need to seek different opportunities to invest in various companies need to have a common benchmark to compare how a particular business is performing related to the other businesses. This function is constantly performed by the accounting department and the accounting function. The language of accounts, as you will see shortly when I share the terms and terminologies and the approaches to you is one of rigor and the purpose is basically to fulfill a fiduciary responsibility, to build credibility in the eyes of the investor that his funds when invested in this business is taken care of. The green box here is basically the language of finance. In finance, the approach is little different. Finance concerns itself first in future information. Financials are always forecast of the future. They concern themselves with cash flow as opposed to income. And they concern themselves with terms like growth. How much is the cash flow growing? Is it steep growth or is it not so steep growth, flat growth? It concerns itself about riskiness. What is the certainty in which we can make this forecast? How risky is this forecast? What is the chance or odds that this kind of an estimate will not be achieved? And finally, it concerns itself about returns. When I invested something as an input, what do I get in current terms for an output? How many times is my output measured in cash terms greater than my input cash invested in the business? These are the questions that are asked by people in finance. And then there is something which is actually associated with the two and the terms is the language of economics. And actually the language of economics spreads across other areas of the business as well. But it is important to know that we must know a little bit about economics before we handle issues and problems and build tools in the area of finance. Sometimes in the area of accounting as well, especially when accountants need to deal with emerging issues. Such as building in reserves, specific reserves. The economic issues are generally external to the business. They are concerning themselves with this overall supply demand behavior for the products, offerings or services. They are also concerning themselves with the prices and the behavior of prices. How elastic will they be with changes in circumstances or changes in certain micro structure of the business? The one aspect that really is important, drawn from economics, but actually has a telling impact on how you manage your finances and indeed how you present your accounts is what startups basically do all the time. And that is the view of unit cost economics. This term itself needs some explanation. We shall be actually dwelling a little bit more detail. But like I said before, unit cost economics is nothing but looking at the business at one unit level. Unit flow of inputs and unit flow of outputs. And then gathering and tracking all the expenses as well as revenues that are associated with these unit flows. We then build a picture of an operating statement or an income statement at the unit level. Once you understand how this income statement behaves, you can make some good estimates on how it will behave in scale. And this is what people like to know in a startup. This is broadly the world of finance and accounts in startups. For a person or a founder or a business which is actually scaled up as business and then given it on to a mature CEO and has become a real success, you will see that finance and accounts plays a continual role. This continual role is what is known as sustainability. To make sure that business sustains to earn profits in just the way it was set out to do without any further or any new risk presenting itself to the investors. This is the aim and the holy grail for all startups. How do I end up with in five years time or ten years time to be a business that really runs on its own? That's the key to success. So the world over successful startups have the feature of sustainability. The role of finance and accounts to actually achieve this objective is significant. And that is what we will see in one particular example that I will not go into detail, but I shall actually show you a flavor of how finance decisions can be made better by accounting as well as their understanding. Let's, it is called break even analysis. The decision has to be made as to what point in this case it is price. It's not volume of sales. At what price can I actually offer a product that I mean bring into the market. It's such a way that I can get my demand, but I can undercut everybody else. What's the least cost in which I can actually bring out the real reason you want to do this? How do I deal with competition as well as deal with the requirements of profitability that the business has? And this is a balance that you everyone needs to do. Look at constantly. This balance comes from a very important concept called the value stack. The value of your business product or offering. If it is at V, usually this is more than what the price of the product and offering. This is what induces a customer to buy the product in the first place. This level of difference is what creates a compelling proposition for your business. If this difference is very high, then your business is sure to succeed. If the business is not so high, then you'll have to contend with ways in which you can expand the difference. You have another issue. You have to look at how you can provide a product to the market at a price in which you can take care of the cost that go together to make that product. So prices have to be more than the cost. So there are twin objectives. You have to reach this objective as well as you have to meet this objective. Most business owners are faced with this prospect at all times in their business. And they may actually deal with this with their own strategies. Initially at the launch, you may find that prices are actually lower than the cost. The difference is a loss which is invested in as a necessary investment to clear off all of the competition. Such an approach is what we are looking at through an example. Let's suppose that you have a business idea to start a new digital eco-mouse trap. Ecological mouse trap, a mouse trap that doesn't kill animals but traps it so that you can take it to another place and let it live separately from humans. The digital quotient here is to track the movements of the mouse and to actually capture the data points as to what will go into the entrapment schedule, so to speak. It's a data sciences approach of laying down the pathways in which a mouse can be trapped. If you are looking at this idea and you come out with an eco-friendly e-trap, let's see, there surely is going to be an innovative potential for this product. Your sessions in marketing would have to do that. You know this kind of an idea needs to be sized in terms of its appeal through several means and you can actually have what is known as the serviceable operating market that you have which gives you the opportunity size. Lots of rodents in the world and lots of rodents that need to be cleared off from human existence as far as possible. Surely there's something to this. Suppose you went about, you know, building a product idea and your market research just said that all other means of actually trapping mice through currently offered products are offered at prices between 2 and 5. That's 2 per trap and rupees 5 per trap. We need to know at what is the lowest price in which we can actually bring a product to market with volumes enough for us to take care of our setup cost. The setup cost over and above development is obviously to give back the money that goes into development and to continuously provide enough value, cash for maintaining the further upgrades. If such is the case, we go about doing a costing schedule. We identify what are known as the setup cost, which are known as a fixed cost. These costs will have to be incurred no matter whether how many units of the traps we sell. Even if it is zero, these costs will still be occurred in the same way. And the directly attracted variable cost. These are directly attributable to the product. At the same time, they keep varying with the volumes sold of the product. By actually looking at these two cost lines and adding them up, you find out what the total cost is. Total cost is nothing but the fixed cost plus the variable cost. And a target profit. We want to optimize for the target profit. We want to make the profit at the lowest which can sustain my business. By drawing schedules of these cost behaviors at different levels. One at a low level of volume and the other at a high level of volume. I have different cost structures. This you get up by the accounting statements that you either have in your own business or by proxy businesses. You're in a position to make an estimate as to what will be your profitability. How does it respond to prices and volumes? We see a graph here which basically tells us at what price of the product offering. This is at 6 rupees and this is at 2 rupees. How much of the traps can be sold? As you can see if it is 2 rupees, you can sell as many as 1000 traps and if it is 6 rupees, you can sell as many as 100 traps. This is what is the cost leadership side of the strategy and this is what is the differentiation side of the strategy. So you can either be competitive on a pure pricing basis if you can be better than this point onwards which is 500 units minimum. Or you can be profitable and distinctively powerful if you are able to actually sell at least this much at the price point of 6. These are the two conclusions you can draw from the strategy and that's how you actually make a decision. A mature owner of a business will have with him the knowledge base to conduct such an exercise. This is what finance and accounts can do. Having said this, how do we get there? What is the starting steps? What is the whole pathway for improving our financial literacy? We shall see that in our next unit in this model.


I'm gonna enjoy a beer today from Roadhouse Brewing in Jackson, Hawaii. All right. What beers you got here? We got family vacation, which is our cream ale, and a blue spoon. Here we go. Here we go. Race day. Cheers, YouTube. All right. Rolling out before I gotta hop in the car. Here we go. Everyone. So I'm actually gonna put all the gear in my bag and put it on at the course because I got a little bit of a drive to get there. So that's what I'm up to. Just loading up, heading out the door. Oh, man, feeling good. I didn't sleep the greatest last night, but that's okay. Just getting a little water in me. I cannot believe we get to tow the line together today. And oh, man, I haven't been on a starting line. This is the second time all year. So thanks for coming along the journey, and it's gonna be fun. And I'm just trying to live in the moment, enjoy the moment, even have fun with the moment. You know what I mean? Oh, I do get worked up sometimes when it, not worked up, but I'm not slightly anxious at the, and I think that are nervous at a starting line. And I think that's okay. If you have nerves on a starting line, that's okay. You know, like once you start running, usually those nerves and anxiety might, usually it dissipates. At least it does for me. And so it's okay to have nerves. But at the same time, it's like, this is fun. We train so much solo, alone, out on the trails, in the road, in the roads, out on the track, wherever you train around the world. And so I guess it's like, just relish these moments where we're racing together as a running family around the world. So anyway, that's what I keep telling myself. The reason I came up here to the Teton Village, to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is that the Pikes Peak Ascent, my priority race number one, my peak race of 2019, at least at the beginning of the year, that was the plan, is in three weeks from today, race day. Perfect timing. Like even if it was two weeks, that would be okay, but three weeks is just perfect, because then I can fully recover from this race, from this effort. And the Pikes Peak Ascent is 13 miles, today's race is six miles. The Pikes Peak Ascent is like basically 7,500 feet of elevation climbing, elevation gain. And today's elevation gain is going to be 4,000. So it's just a really, really good precursor and rust buster for my peak race, considering I've only raced one other time in 2019, the Cookie Chase 5K, which went really well. I actually ended up winning that race, but I haven't raced in over three months. So it's time to get the legs moving again at a quicker clip, start the sharpening process for Pikes Peak and the mental sharpening for Pikes Peak. And I want to practice actually today getting off the starting line well, because I know the course is going to narrow down pretty quick. So I don't want to get stuck too far back in the pack today. What else did I want to mention? Oh yeah. So most of my training runs, as you have seen in the last two to three weeks, started at 9,000 feet and top off at 14,000. Well today's race starts at 6,300 feet above sea level and tops off at basically 10,600-10,700. So I'm very excited about the prospect of racing at basically a lower elevation from what I'm used to training at in Colorado. So anyway, thanks for being here. We're just cruising through some beautiful country almost to the starting area and I'll get you a few more shots, but I am going to be very focused once I arrive. So you guys the best, let's do this. Let's do this. Come on. Ladies and gentlemen, my bad. My bad. All right. I'm not going to tell you how the race went. This clip is being filmed after the race, but I'm putting it in the vlog now to explain basically in my, well, I finished the race and they had bacon and there was a lot of people up there cheering and talking and folks that watch the vlog. Thanks for watching, but I did some filming with the GoPro on the railing and I left it. I left the GoPro. I don't know where the GoPro is at and of course I carried the GoPro in the race and I got some great shots of the race, but now I don't have the GoPro. So I apologize. The vlog would have been a little more spicy, a little more fun to watch, but it is. It's water under the bridge. We move on and I'm not going to let it ruin my day. So I just want to let you know, okay, continue the warm up into the race. Oh, I got my water. Oh, don't forget to close the front door. Boom. Okay. Got my shoes in my backpack. Watch. Sunglasses. Sports. Singlet. Water. Again. Energy gels, cameras, of course, and feeling good. All right. It's pretty neat. You can see the top of the mountain. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to, but you can definitely see where we're going to stop up there. Number 71. There we go. We got it. We got it. All right. Let's get this on. Whoa. That is quite the timing chip on the back. What's up? You watch the channel? What's your name? Nick. Nick and Kaelin. Kaelin. Good to see you guys. You guys racing? We're not racing. You're not. I'm just, I'm filming right now. Hey, look at these guys. Say hi to, say hi to YouTube. Where are you guys from? Texas. Texas. Wow. And sorry, you said you're not, you're not racing. We're not racing. But you're just here in town? Yep. Visiting? Wow. You got, that's awesome, man. Well, thanks for coming to say hi. I'm just pinning up here and about to go warm up. I'm a little tight on time, actually. What time is it anyway? Oh, eight. Yeah. So anyway, we'll see you guys after the race. Is that, sorry, what was your names again? Nick. Nick and Kaelin. Kaelin. Awesome. I'll try and remember. All right. Man, we'll see you at the finish. Yeah. We could cool down together. All right. Shout out to Kaelin and I think Nick from Texas. That's awesome. Hi. All right. I got to go warm up. I'm actually going to sign off now. I got to put this camera in the bag so I can send it to the top of the mountain on the tram. Love you. See you soon on the top of the mountain. See you. Work hard. Come on. Let's go. Jackson, your key word. Jackson. Fly the W. Fly, fly that W. That's right. I think we can, I think we had a steak dinner this week. That's right. That's right. I think one hour, one hour and one minute and I think second place was about two and a half minutes back. So, boom. Fly the W. Fly that W. 31 second finish. Appreciate it. Yeah, man. Last job here, Robinson. Come on down, Aaron. Sweet. Yeah. Good work. Thanks, dude. Good work. Next year, go chase it again. Right? I know. Good work, man. Yeah, good job. Yeah. Here we are. Gonna enjoy a beer today from Roadhouse Brewing in Jackson, Hawaii. All right. What beers you got here? Nice. Want it. Got it at once. Not too bad, right? We'll take it. I know. I usually don't. I don't have a ton of beer, but man, I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. We're pulling over now at the Elk Mountain Exit on I-80. The sun is rapidly setting and I want to get three to four miles in my legs just to shake them out, loosen them up. I'm actually, my right glute slash hammy kind of tweaked out about 10 miles back, so it's time to shake out a little bit. And I found a dirt road. That's what I was waiting for. So right outside this wind, oh, it's going to be perfect. So here we go. Wyoming 72. Okay. Let's lace it up. And by the beam, by the boom, just like that, we're back in my house. It's really late, really late. Oh, now I got to edit. So it's going to be a tough long run tomorrow, but we're back. We made it back safe. That's the most important part. And I will give you a race recap. Hold on. Camera's falling. I will give you a race recap tomorrow. Sound good? Question of the day. Who prefer, are you an uphill, a flat lander or a downhill runner? What do you prefer in your race environment? Uphill, flat downhill, maybe a combination of all three that is fine too. Obviously, I love the uphill. So anyway, great day despite losing the GoPro. And yes, if you want to dive into some more racing blogs, they are on your screen right now. Check them out. Click on those. And I think you'll have a good time in the Bronx. All right. With that said, thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. See you soon. Work hard.


In our school, I think that the strength, the main strength of the master teacher has been the short-sharp focus that he's developed. So he's taken a targeted approach to solving a small problem and then he's been able to roll that out with teachers in a really practical way. So rather than looking at a large problem and not being able to see a solution for it, he's been able to take something really concrete and have a definite impact really quickly. Working with the leadership team initially starts with looking at the explicit improvement agenda and then how I can best fit into what our key goals are and how as we're around the upper two bands around literacy and making improvement and impact there. So from there we looked at the action plan and how that fed into the explicit improvement agenda so that we could really hone in and focus and target and I guess if there was three aspects the third one would be that we essentially monitored and tracked that through line manager meetings with my deputy so we're able to keep the progress going as well. He's also able to provide that role of critical friend feedback coaching for teachers so that we can improve teacher capacity as well as the outcomes that students achieve and it's been really wonderful for him to be able to work with NAPLAN data, work towards better QCS results and basically we've seen an increase straight away for our school based on the work that he's done with teachers and students. The master teacher role, there's a lot of exciting elements about it and I think the biggest one is the fact that you get the chance to actually help your colleagues. When you first step away from the classroom it's a little bit difficult to get used to not helping children but when you have that cognitive shift and you start realizing that you actually get to help the people that help the children that's pretty cool too and that's really exciting. Doing the action research project and all the research that we've been doing this year has also been incredibly exciting because it gives you the chance finally because we all have our own opinions and think if I was in charge I'd do it this way and finally we get the chance to actually do that research and see if the theory actually matches the practice. But honestly I think also the fact that we get to feed that research back into the system and somehow not only help the kids in our school, the teachers in our school but teachers across the state, like to me that is very exciting. I hope in my role as master teacher to lift the stamina of writing in my school across year 7 to 12, I hope to improve the grade readability of their writing and so lift that at least a year from where they are to where they actually should be and beyond and I hope also in my capacity to actually iterate a lot of great ideas to teachers. I think the main way that our system benefits from master teachers in general is the fact that each master teacher can have a localised solution to problems so it's not a one size fits all and the main thing is that he really keeps the student at the centre of all of the work that he does so it's definitely a student-centred approach to improving student outcomes.


us minutes to do this introduction. So a couple announcements before we start for McLean faculty and fellows and those who will be coming to Case Conference at three, it's going to be an H300 today. If you don't know how to get to H300, ask Micah Paraska, he can lead us. Next week there is no noon conference for the ASBH meeting, which many people will be attending. The following week on 10-18, Dr. Will Parker will be presenting on crisis standards of care preparing for the next pandemic. So I urge you to come. That'll be an outstanding talk. So we have a real treat today. We have the benefit of having Dr. Jim Weinstein as our speaker. I'm going to say a few words about Jim and I am really just scratching the surface in terms of his accomplishments and accolades, but I want to give you a sense of how fortunate we are to have him join us. Jim joined Microsoft in July of 2018 as Senior Vice President for Microsoft Health, leading strategy and innovation. Today he leads Health Access and Health Equity globally for Microsoft. Jim is the immediate past Chief Executive Officer and President of Dartmouth Health. Prior to being CEO and President, he was president of the Dartmouth Physician Group and was the inaugural director of the Dartmouth Institute, home of the Dartmouth Atlas. He created the first value-based population health operating model locally and nationally grounded in the quadruple aim and he created a joint venture with Harvard Pilgrim to create a provider payer health plan for Northern New England. Jim has had... prescription for error broken out of their system, was published in February of 2016, and he's a contributor to the latest of AI that I strongly recommend, particularly in others' home AI revolution, medicine tax, or the beyond. So it's really a pleasure for me to talk with him. He was a speaker for us I think in 2008 at the center, but it's a pleasure. Great. Thank you. So great to be with you. I'm not sure if we can get rid of the echo sign, but I'll try not to echo, which may not be possible. Anyhow, there's a lot to talk about and what I wanted to start out with is because the world is kind of confusing right now. And for young people, you must think we're kind of in a crazy chaotic state. I think we've been in that crazy chaotic state for my whole life. And just to give some history, Microsoft was founded about 50 years ago. The first computer came out 50 years ago. Brezhnev and Carter were fighting. Inflation was at 14 percent or some crazy number. That was my first home mortgage was 14 percent. So don't complain about five or seven. We had a stagnant economy. There was the Iranian revolution. The hostage crisis and the Soviets in not in Ukraine in Afghanistan. So things haven't changed much. And unfortunately, unfortunately, that's going to be part of my talk because if this works, maybe it doesn't work. So now it's hooked up to this. Sorry. I'm going to take this off. Okay. Life. Anyhow, let's see what happened. I don't know what button you push. And I guess I have to echo. I'm just going to talk. Okay. Work in machine learning for imaging of the hydronephrosis. So two questions. One is, are we right to say it's artificial intelligence or augmented intelligence? That's one question I have. You don't like either. Okay. Actionable intelligence. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's great because what I'm thinking is this is all human being created and the machine is helping us to put it together in a clever way. And that's where the common people are thinking artificial means something. So what do you think about that? Because that's where it's a huge confusion coming on about artificial or augmented. Thank you. And second question is in the food chain of this whole process, where does the machine learning fits in or is it scope for chart GP 10 for every problem? It is machine learning. And if you think about looking at pictures and say, you know, draw a cat. So I could ask GP T to draw. We've done this access to draw a unicorn.  But when you ask GP T four with some plugins, it actually kind of looked like a unicorn. But machine learning is looking at lots of images or text and learning from that, which creates AI. So most of AI is machine learning. And, you know, the closed test C L O Z E that really is predicting the next word. And that's how these things theoretically work. But I kind of like the outcome razor. I think the reflex, you know, think jumps. Oh, I know what happened there. I went to this international neuron. I can't figure out this, you know, huge trillion dollar parameter or trillion parameter stuff. But it happens so fast. It's like a reflex to me. So yeah. Other questions? Yeah, I had a question. I think, you know, I think we can all see the importance in terms of the ethics of AI with regard to regulation. But what do you think about the commercialization of AI? I mean, most of the development seems to be seen as a commercial opportunity by a lot of companies around the world. In recent history of medicine, almost every new technology comes with a large price tag and ends up increasing the total cost of care. That's already, as everybody knows, somewhat unsustainable in the US. How is AI going to be commercialized? How do we make sure that this actually helps the system rather than helping entrench commercial interests that are developing it now? I think I understood your question. Not totally so. Just tell me if I got it right. You're asking how this gets commercialized and what's up and down side of that. Basically, fair. Yeah, I'm a capitalist. I think people who want to do wonderful things should do what you've reimbursed for them, but not at the expense of others. Okay, so what I'm trying to do in my job is leading global equity for Microsoft and access is to make sure we move the whole curve to the right, not just some people. And my fear, as I said in the beginning with this technology, we're just going to create another lane, more resources will be spent, and we won't change those maps that I've been doing for 40 years now. That's a failure. And so I'm saying the same things at Microsoft. And so I'm hoping that like Uplift AI 211 will be free and that any money made will go back to the systems or communities that actually used it to help support those things. So that's my motivation. Does Microsoft deserve to make a profit? Absolutely, because it can make things like this possible for everybody. What's the right profit? I'm not the person to judge that. I am going to speak out on behalf of everybody to move that curve to the right. But I can't affect decisions to stockholders. But you in this room working with me can affect what happens. And don't be angry if somebody makes a lot of money. Some of these people should. This is miraculous. But let's make sure that it benefits everybody.

My unique ADHD world is a beautiful, bright, fun picture book aimed at younger children exploring ADHD. This might be because they've been diagnosed themselves, or because they have a sibling or friend with ADHD. The book gives a really balanced view, exploring both the challenges and the strengths that ADHD can bring. ADHD readers, younger and older, will see themselves reflected in the experiences of the characters in the book, as well as seeing images of people who look like me, as the illustrator has done a great job in terms of inclusivity and diversity. You're allowed to write at the beginning and the end of this book, which will feel like a treat for an ADHD kid. I'd be tempted to let them write and doodle elsewhere, highlighting the bits that chime with them, but I appreciate the suggestion. We'll feel like sacrilege to some of you. With a forward by an 11-year-old with ADHD, engaging fun facts throughout, and appealing illustrations, this is a great book for parents or professionals exploring ADHD with children.
