Just want to have a look here. Prisoner. Massive tuner, eh? That is the best thing I've ever seen, man. I can't believe this. Okay, so here we are at the front of Sydney Fish Market. We're going to go inside and see what's going on in here, see what type of animals they're dragging out the ocean and murdering. And, you know, we're focusing on fish with this campaign, see animals, marine animals. We're going to see what animals are being tortured and left out on the floor over there for people to come and buy and put in their restaurants. Let's do it. Crab. Lobster. Just want to have a look here. Tuner. Yellowfin. This is a yellowfin tuner, I think. Wow. I think these crabs, they might be alive. Yeah, they're just barely alive. It's in there tied up. This one here is looking too. Terrified, probably. Terrified. Look, he can't defend himself. Claws are tied up. See, look. See how terrified? Yeah, so this little crab here is terrified. He can't defend himself. The hands are tied up and they're stuck in this bucket here waiting to be killed or sold off to someone to be killed. They're basically enslaved, these little animals. They're imprisoned in here, but you see, they're special for live lobster, so they're selling them alive. Snow crabs. See, these ones here are hiding in the corners, huh? See? They're trying to hide. See what I mean? There's less of them in here, so they're trying to like... I think, um... I think because some of them have been taken out, these ones are trying to not be taken out. Like, they're trying to hide in the corners. Because someone, they keep pulling them out and they're not coming back. So I think they're smart enough to know if they hide, they might not get grabbed first. You see all these ones here in the corner. They have no protection, they can't escape or hide behind a rock or anything like this. They're basically exposed and vulnerable, waiting to be murdered. See, look at this little one. Their little eyes looking at me. It's not right, is it? Look at them crammed in here. Crammed in here. So many in this one. Have you seen this? So this hole in the head here is where they've... this tuner's been stabbed in the head on the boat to kill them. See? Straight through there. Come have a look at these mud crab here. Prisoner. Slave. So here we have fruits that are actually not sentient beings. Beautiful fresh fruit here, you know?  This is what we're meant to be eating. Not there as an abomination. This is a flounder. Squid. Baby octopus. Look at these little babies. Baby octopus. Snapper. You just see their eyes. You can probably picture how long it took them to die suffocating on the deck of a boat. You can actually see the scratches on their body here. See? Where they've been pulled out of the boat. See, they've got grays here. Can you just get so close up of these animals here, man? Like their faces. Just look at their faces, man. Beautiful blue dots all over them, but their faces. They're stinky, aye? No worries, mate. We'll get some. Yeah. Massive tuna, aye. Yellowfin. It's huge, dude, aye? It's massive. Look at them. These come from the USA. These crabs. Pacific. This is fish row. This is the eggs. I'm pretty sure. Fish row. Yeah, yeah. The eggs are cut out of a fish. So these are cut off the animal. But if this was a cow or a pig, like having cow heads or pigs heads would be offensive to people. But see, fish are viewed much below even the status of cows and pigs in society. So it's fine to have a fish head there. No one would really think too much of it. This one here you can actually just see in the face how they suffocated before they died. See? Do you have a grouper? Grouper? Is this a grouper head? Cod. Okay. Similar to a grouper. Looks very set. Just want to have a look here. Salmon. This is wild salmon? No, no, farm fish. Yeah, yeah. Farm salmon. Not all of this fish is farmed, no way. Not all of this fish. The salmon. Yeah, yeah. The rest is wild. Wild caught. Fresh water. Well, scorpion fish. Check these out, dude. They have, when they open their gills up, they have a spike. So basically, like the guy in there was saying, most of those fish are dragged out of the ocean except for the trout and the salmon and a couple of others. But when people eat a salmon or a trout, they think, oh well, I'm just getting it from like this local fisherman like reeling it in on his boat, but really they're coming from disgusting factory fish farms where like, if you'd seen the amount of feces that comes out of these things, they were saying like the sea spiracy, the fish farms, the salmon farms in Scotland produce the same amount of waste as the people in Scotland itself like, which is an insane amount of feces just from fish farms. So, yeah. See all the seabirds hanging around here. Seagulls and this little spoon-bill one. Some collards of murdered animals, eh? So, just walking up to the fish market you can smell the bodies of rotten animals, eh? Like, but they also have seafood restaurants here. People can just eat the bodies of these dead animals and because people are so accustomed to that smell, they smell fish and they think, oh yeah, food.  Yet they can have restaurants at the same place they have essentially what is like a morgue for fish. You can eat the cooked bodies of the fish at a massive industrial fish morgue. It's pretty crazy. That is the best thing I've ever seen, man. I can't believe this. Hello. Hello, Mr Pelican. They think we're going to feed them. I reckon the other guys feed them, eh? I've never, I don't think I've ever seen Pelicans up this close. Maybe when I was a little kid. I've never had a photo with Pelicans. That's the coolest thing ever.  Are these Pelicans always here? And then they remember, eh? Yeah. The same two, the same two Pelicans. I'm talking about six or seven of them. Trying to get in this door, dude. Look. He's trying to get in there, man. What are you doing, cheeky little bugger? They let you pat them if you feed them. They let you pat them? Oh, wow. I wish we had some of that vegan fishless fillet here then. Hello, darling. He's trying to get into. Why don't you guys go vegan? Like, use two Pelicans. What I'm actually surprised about is that they, humans, haven't, like, figured out a way to exploit and kill the Pelicans, you know what I mean? They're quite large birds. Like, why don't, wouldn't surprise me if one day they're factory farming these birds, because they're not too much different to a turkey, a large animal like this. Okay, so that was our Sydney Fish Exploitation, you know, market. It was horrible to see those animals tied up. Crabs couldn't defend themselves. Usually they can defend themselves.   You can only just imagine what it's like to suffocate slowly to death on the deck of a boat or underneath a bunch of a school of fish who are also suffocating, you know? Horrible. Or, like, getting spiked in the head on the boat like that. Yellowfin tuna that we've seen. What isn't on display in the Sydney Fish Market is all of the bio-kill. Like, I've heard estimates of around 40% of the catch is actually bio-kill that's thrown back overboard. So that's any species of fish they aren't targeting, but it also includes, you know, sharks and dolphins and, you know, seals and other marine life that people favour. So, yeah, so when you're seeing a bunch of fish in boxes and, you know, big cartons of fish, think about what you aren't seeing, which is the fishing nets all in the ocean that are choking animals, all the bio-kill, the dolphins that are being, you know, booted off boats and, you know, just the horrible amounts of destruction that the trawling nets are causing just to target, like, one species of fish. It's crazy, insane amounts of suffering and it's just plundering the ocean and ruining the lives of trillions of animals every year just for that little seafood platter. Taste pleasure. Disgusting. Can I just look at the hooks? I want the one that's going to really stab into the face to pull them out. You know, this is like a prison for the animals, but, uh, people army. It's interesting as people will pay to go and see these animals, but they'll then go into a restaurant and pay for other sea animals to be murdered.


Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here bringing you another video from a lovely afternoon here in Jerusalem So something about me is that when I get into a certain when I discover a new Technology platform that I like I get somewhat I tried I try to avoid using the word Evangelical specifically because I'm Jewish so it's a bit it's a bit strange me to say I become evangelical about something but I become a Big cheerleader for a certain when I encounter technology. I think is very very Innovative and exciting so something I've been using recently and recommending to clients because I do a lot of Streaming recording and helping clients with stuff like that is a product called Riverside FM And I received high praise from Curtis judge on YouTube who is someone I Immensely respect as an audio guru, but people are like, you know when you're when you're dealing with people who are let's say Without trying to send condescending less technical people say, oh, but we want to record using zoom What's what's what's this do? What's wrong with zoom where we know what zoom is So I thought I'd prepare this little explainer video that I can send to my friends or others Maybe not clients Who are hesitant? I'm just gonna explain what's unique about Riverside dot FM So Riverside FM is what's called a double-ended recording platform Sometimes known as a double-ender in slang and what that means basically is that it records things going on Locally and then syncs up to the cloud so before let's look at how your typical Zoom recording process works. So you have let's take a typical Guest host recording scenario, right? So you've got your guest remote recording. You've got your guests sitting in I don't know India and You've got your host Sitting in let's say the United States Okay, so if you were doing a podcast or remote video interview most people would use zoom for this So that's where their mind would go to first. So I've added a zoom zooms logo here just to Just to demonstrate how this works. So when you're doing a zoom call, right?  It's very very heavy It's so heavy in fact that it would not be practical to stream to to stream the raw feed of your recording webcam to the other person because it would overwhelm the bandwidth available the person wouldn't be able to Basically it would be buffering like absolutely crazy So the way something like zoom works is that when you do a zoom call your Webcams video feed is going up to the cloud and remember the cloud is just someone else's computer So it's going up to zoom's servers But your webcam quality is being compressed on the way so that your your host can get it in real time And likewise their videos being compressed along the way, right? So you're actually seeing one another is compressed videos You may notice on a zoom call that you when you're on your own zoom You look great and sometimes if like you're at the person you're zooming with does a screen chair You look not so great The reason for that is you're looking at your local webcam in your zoom client And when you are the person you're zooming with does a screen chair You're looking at you as you see them. I know this is a little bit of a tongue-quister. It's getting hard for me to To keep this straight as well. So if you do something like record a zoom call Let's say zoom's clade recording, which is very good zoom clade recording You're going to be pulling out a recording from zoom here So what you're actually going to be getting is the compressed Video from both the guest and the host so you're losing an awful lot of you're sacrificing an awful lot of quality For no good reason. Now. Let's look at something like Riverside FM Riverside FM is something called a double-ended recording platform or a double-ender Now, let me just explain again using the same diagram format how it works. So it actually works Similarly in a sense, right? So when you're having when you're doing your remote zoom interviews You're going to be sending up your your data to Riverside FM Your guest or host or whoever is going to be also sending up their data via Riverside FM And you're going to be seeing each other in a live real compressed feed In other words, it's going to be so so that you can conduct the interview now That is where the similarity ends because there's a big other feature now There's a reason I'm copying and pasting the Riverside logo Two times so that's how the actual Inter interview works, but after you stop the interview There's an upload process and what happens during the upload process is that the local file So as you're having the interview you're seeing each other via Riverside FM But each person the guest and the host is Recording the original audio and video from their webcam without any compression The preserving the best possible quality on their local computer then when the recording session ends both parties are going to be Uploading and this is what this is when you when you're using Riverside FM You need to pre instruct your clients. You have to say after the interview There's going to be an upload process and you need to let the computer run, right? You it'll there'll be a pop-up But you have to as I said when you're dealing with sort of less tech savvy people You need to say whatever you do do not close the tab while the uploads happening because if you do There's different scenarios. Let's let's not cover that. So that's what happens That's the difference between Riverside FM and a double-ender you get the live feed is going to be this degraded quality Just so that people can see one another and have that conversation But then after and that's the difference between the problem with using zoom for remote interviews Etc. Etc. Is that zoom is a video conferencing platform? It's not designed to be a remote interview platform And something like Riverside FM or other double-ended recording platforms for audio Will basically they're designed for this kind of scenario So once you finish the recording the guest and the host both sync their data up to the Riverside FM cloud And then I'll do it a little arrow like this because they all end up in the cloud Eventually, but what what you're going to end up with in the cloud in this case is going to be the original audio Original video and something another thing Riverside FM does that's great is that it splits up the files You have your guest and your host Video and your guest and your host audio for separate files so you can play around with those However, you want so if you're a video editor, you know You can have side-by-side for a portion and then cut to full size for the guest full size for the host But everything is synchronized perfectly because of the way this works So that's basically why Riverside FM is not the same thing as recording interviews via zoom and that's also why I think it's pretty Amazing tech.

Live from San Francisco, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering Oracle Open World 2015, brought to you by Oracle. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. You are watching theCUBE's Silicon Angles flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal and noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of Silicon Angles. I'm John McCose, Dave Vellante, founder of wikibond.com research. And we are here on Howard Street for exclusive coverage of Oracle Open World. Our next guest is Edward Shrevin, who's the chief corporate architect for Oracle, man behind the curtain, making it all happen. Big job, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. We've been calling it the new Oracle. Some analysts said, well, I wouldn't call it the new Oracle. And we were kind of talking about, you know, car makers and Tesla changes the game. We are kind of in a shift. I'll see it's happened. You guys aren't determined to be in the cloud. You're in the cloud business. But the re-architecting of Oracle going back five years has been interesting, right? So you guys have saw the shift. You had the engineer systems come in full bloom. Got the database optimized for in memory. You have a great position with the platform, with past now and products on-prem and in the cloud. So significant position with shipping products, Oracle on Oracle, but beyond Oracle. You have an ecosystem exploding on the application side. So is that by design? Was it you guys sit back and say, hey, we want to do this and take us through some of the early days and where we are now. Are you where you wanted to be? Has things changed? The world certainly has changed. And Dave Donatelli laid out the keynote. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, so our, you know, if you go back and look through the history of Oracle, we've been very focused over many years, actually far longer than the cloud, in making sure that we build out a full stack of hardware and software that let our customers process all of their information through every phase of its life cycle, that we make sure that our customers can leverage that information for business advantage. And business advantage could mean not just more profits, but it could be in providing better service to citizens if you're a government. Now, you know, one of the advantages of providing that full stack of hardware and software is that as we transition into the cloud, it means that we can make sure and do a great job of building out the fundamental infrastructure. We can do a great job of building out the platform and that includes database and middleware, and then of course doing a great job building out the applications. Now, we make that complete stack of hardware and software available not only to our customers in the cloud, but also to customers on premise. So our customers have compatibility between what they run in their own data center and what they run in our data center. Now, you mentioned one very important feature we've added to the Oracle database that makes it especially good in the cloud, which is in memory, but there's something else we've added, which is called a multi-tenant, right? So because our database can actually run multiple logical databases with one single database, it makes it very easy for our customers in their own premises to actually run a cloud environments with database themselves. And we leverage, of course, multi-tenant database features ourselves. AdJL has been the DevOps ethos, being AdJL, that's the new normal in cloud standing stuff up quick. Now operationalizing that is difficult because you have a security on it. Hello, other operational things. So, you know, AdJL and security have always been at odds with each other. Certainly Larry's message yesterday was very clear. Let's get security always on. Let's push that down into the stack as low as possible. What does that mean for customers? And how does that enable more innovation on top of it? Is it free people up to not worry about security? Will it support global data sovereignty situations? How would you guys look at that? How do you balance that agility with the security challenges? Actually, I don't believe that security implies lack of agility. I think that you need to have the right set of security technologies in place in order to maintain your agility. Okay, so by building security into the stack as opposed to having to implement security as part of your application, it comes much easier to do DevOps, to build that application, to deploy it and to manage it. So for example, in the Oracle database, we implemented something called database vault, which means that data that you store in the Oracle database is not visible to your admins. So they can perform their admin operations without having to compromise security. We've built transparent data encryption where we actually store the keys outside the database in a key vault. And for our cloud, in fact, those keys can actually be stored on your premise when your data is in our cloud. So Oracle cannot get to your stored keys. Oracle cannot actually decrypt the data from disk. So that means that you have the full advantage of doing DevOps in the cloud without having to compromise security. So the sort of superficial assessment of security has always been a bolt-on, just sort of doesn't really work that well. You guys are clearly driving security, down to the silicon. But one could infer from Larry's keynote yesterday that multi-tenant is less secure than dedicated. So there's a spectrum. So can you help us understand sort of where you're advising people to actually use each? I guess it's test dev as the example that he gave. But you're not saying your multi-tenant is not secure because you're driving a lot of security into it. So help us understand sort of that spectrum. Yeah, I think multi-tenant as realized by many of our competitors is actually not secure, right? I mean, many of our competitors have built multi-tenant by essentially implementing an application in a more or less conventional way and then striping the columns of their database with a subscriber ID and then in the code of their application checking all the time to make sure subscriber ID is correct. That is fundamentally less secure than using technologies that understand multi-tenant all the way down to the core. So Oracle multi-tenant database is not less secure than running separate database instances. We've implemented the separation between subscribers all the way down at the fundamental core of the database. And that's what I mean by saying that I think that the dichotomy between security and agility is actually a false choice. I mean, if you actually choose the right set of technologies and you actually choose, frankly, the right cloud provider, you can have both security and agility. And when Larry mentioned in his keynote, always on security, that's what he meant. So when you use Oracle infrastructure, especially when you use Oracle Cloud infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Platform, Oracle SaaS applications, you always get security. You don't have a choice. And the price you pay for it is nothing because we work so hard to wire that security down in a fundamental layer of the platform, including all the way down to the Silicon now with Spark M7. You don't pay a management overhead. You don't pay a performance penalty. So if I understand that then your contention would be your multi-tenant approach is more secure than one that's done at the application. But your dedicated approach for those who are super paranoid, so help us understand that end of the spectrum. So we implement some, we provide now something in our cloud called dedicated compute. And so that means that you could walk into our data center, if we let you walk into our data center. And you could physically touch all of the processors that you're going to be running on. And you could physically touch the switch that's connecting them. So you're guaranteed that the traffic that's going through that switch is your traffic. And you're guaranteed that all the code that's running on those processors is your code. Now, from a security perspective, that can be reassuring. I don't think it's the fundamental advantage of it. The fundamental advantage is that you never have to worry about competing for CPU cycles. You never have to worry about competing for a network bandwidth with some other subscriber. Some other subscriber all of a sudden starts some overwhelming query on the same processors, which is consuming a lot of CPU.  Is that some noisy, it's called a noisy neighbor problem. That's a quality service issue more than a security issue. It's a quality service issue, and it's a resource availability issue. So if I have dedicated compute, I know exactly what my CPU capacity is. I know what my cross-sectional bandwidth of my network between those processes are. And I know that if I need to spike up in terms of load, I can get there. I don't have to be concerned about what's going to happen over time, as I spin up VMs on some random other server in the pool. And one of the things I want to tease out of this conversation is real-time thinking here on theCUBE is there's a lot of debate, certainly even amongst ourselves and the analysts out there. Hey, Oracle's number one in the cloud. That's what Mark's saying. We're down here in all this cloud. And people are trying to squint through all the noise. But the positioning really is solid. You've got on-prem, it runs the same code on public. Hybrid could be an architectural thing engineered in between or engineered cloud, as we call it. So we try to create a metaphor for that. And one of the things we were saying on the opening was, to Dave Donnelly's point, is that it's like a new car. Oracle's like a new car. And Dennis Howell, an analyst, said the word Tesla, which kind of sparked the creativity of saying, okay, old car makers, data center, guys doing cloud, multi-tenancy, maybe not secure. If Oracle is the new Tesla, a car, it drives on the road, but it's different and it's winning. People like it and it has big data in it. If you had to say, if I asked you, what's in Oracle Cloud that makes it Tesla-like that's different from the other guys? What would you say? Well, I think it's the integration. It's the integration between platform and infrastructure and SaaS applications. And I think it's also the compatibility. And compatibility has two important aspects. So one is, of course, we can take your applications that you already wrote and you're already running and we can run them in our cloud. But the other thing is that all of the knowledge that you have as a customer, an Oracle customer, about how to use our products, about how to write applications, those transfer immediately. And you get to transfer those skills into an environment which is modern, which has the modern DevOps paradigm, which uses containers, which uses virtualization, which is standards-based. And so that means that you don't have to rethink and re-architect and reimagine the way your applications are because our customers have thousands and thousands of applications that they wrote themselves. New functionality will come from that. Correct. There's new functionality, of course, that we've built throughout our technology stack to make our cloud work very, very well. But leveraging those new technologies doesn't mean you have to forget everything that you knew how to do. And it doesn't mean you have to hire all new people. I wonder if we could talk about openness. Here, Jay, Donna Telly this morning said, the big question he always gets is, what about the lock-in? I'm not so much interested in the lock-in. It's a different conversation to me, but your perspective on open and open standards, I mean, SQL is an example of a de facto standard that emerged that Oracle got behind very early, changed the history of the industry. Java is another example. He mentioned x86 and Linux. What's Oracle's point of view on openness? Yeah, so we've been very focused over the years in making sure we build out that complete stack. But the one thing that we never wanted to do is we never wanted to build a proprietary stack. We never wanted to build a combination of hardware and software that was based on Oracle private interfaces only, and it didn't support other open standards. And the reason was very simple. For one thing, even though we do a good job of building a large set of hardware and software, we don't build everything. And so there will always be other vendors out there who build value-added components that we want to integrate into our stack. If we support open standards, that's easy. But I think there's some more subtle and actually more important reason, right? And that is that there are a lot of really smart people in the world who are building lots of new and interesting kinds of technology. And if what we do is we use standards as a guidepost for what we build and the way we architect our systems, it means that we'll be able to leverage that innovation. And sometimes I'm asked, well, how is what you're doing now different than what IBM did in the 60s? And the answer is they were completely proprietary. They actually closed their eyes to what other people were working on. And that left them in the dust. I mean, it worked for a while, but eventually as the world innovated, they got left behind, right? And so we're very fixated on making sure that doesn't happen. We follow open standards because it helps guide us in the direction of sustained innovation. That's why I'm interested in this question about the Tesla, because if you can argue that this platform is not Oracle on Oracle, which is vertically integrated in the old client server architecture, apps had fully integrated stacks underneath it. And there was some great apps and people made a lot of money and some good stuff happened. But architecture, that dictated kind of how that ecosystem built on an application market basis. And it was a huge tsunami of application growth. So now let's fast forward to today's modern infrastructure. The application market doesn't seem to be exploding yet, but yet, if you connect the dots, you could argue that, okay, some core apps, ERP, CRN, HCM on Oracle, but a slew of other opportunities are going to exist across the board. So that brings up the developer question and ultimately what is this new application market about? You guys mentioned Docker, you mentioned DevOps in there, right? Is that part of the architecture? Are you trying to enable that kind of explosion? Absolutely. I mean, if you, the application market, I think it's going to be, it's going to have sort of two segments, right? I mean, one is large SaaS providers like Oracle, right? And so we provide all of the core kinds of SaaS applications you want. It's like HRMS and ERP, manufacturing and a lot of interesting vertical SaaS applications as well, right? Now, alongside that is going to be an endless array of new and interesting applications that are designed to be integrated into those core applications, right? And so when we built our SaaS applications, what we knew we had to make sure we enabled was a way for third parties to provide integrated components that connected to those applications because there was going to be this exploding market of new and interesting applications in this new cloud computing style. And so I think that's one of the very compelling advantages of our SaaS applications, is that because they are tied to our platform running in the cloud, they're tied to our infrastructure in the cloud. We enable all of those interesting new applications to run in our cloud and be integrated with our applications. And one thing I'd like to point out is like if you look at kind of what is happening in SaaS applications, I mean customers are, it's actually very similar to the beginning part of the packaged application world, right? So in packaged application world, what happened is each vendor, they built out their own kind of proprietary tool stack, they then customers did a sort of a best of read buy. They bought like different applications of different vendors and then they went through some massive, complex, expensive integration process. They spent a huge amount of money doing that. Now if what you do as a customer is you go by a whole basketful of SaaS subscriptions from lots of different vendors, you've recreated that integration problem, right? You no longer have an integrated view of your business, right? So Oracle, by providing a comprehensive set of the core SaaS applications that customers want plus an environment in which those new, new interesting applications are added, we get rid of that integration problem for our customers. I'll give you a quick use kit. I know Dave wants to jump in on a question. So in that, if you take that forward, which by the way, that's a winning formula, you got that open, that's a platform, that's an enabling platform, which creates innovation. So here's an example, you got a great HCM cloud practices, it's booming, we heard that here, but let's just say there's a developer out there that builds the best maternity leave application and it's peaked, it's got APIs, it's totally cloud and it's targeted for that specific unique use case, maternity leave. It might not be on the big Oracle system where they might have some feature, but they do a better job. How would a use case like that fit into the Oracle architecture? They would come to the Oracle platform, they would use the platform services we provide, including Database or Hadoop or Node.js, a wide variety of technologies we support in our platform, they would implement that platform, they would then implement interfaces that allow our existing HR SaaS application to talk to third party components and they would then be able to provide an integrated experience to any of our HR SaaS customers to use our HR applications, would then be able to use that maternity application as well, in conjunction with and integrated with their HR system. So if good, they can get the distribution off the Oracle platform and plug that right in. So that touches my question. I wanted to ask about the architecture of Fusion, because it was like giving birth for 10 years and then now you've got this platform that's developed in Java, which is open, nobody's going to debate that. So when you think about organic development of apps versus acquisitions and the like, can you talk architecturally how you design that platform in order to accommodate both organic and inorganic growth? You sort of touched upon the inorganic piece with the interfaces, Java obviously most popular programming language in the world, not the fastest growing, so you got all this other stuff around it. Can you sort of add some color to that? Yeah, so when we decided that we needed to move to the cloud, we needed to offer a SaaS instead of just conventional on-premise applications. We realized that you can't just take a traditional on-premise application and put it in the cloud. It doesn't work very well. SAP has tried many times, they failed every time. So we needed to actually fundamentally write our applications. And so we had just a few core tenants that we applied. One of them was that it had to be implemented in a modern programming language and that was Java. Another one is that it had to support open interfaces, which means it was very easy to move data in and out. It was very easy to extend through those interfaces. You didn't have to customize it, you could just extend it. And then it had to be run in conjunction with a platform environment that let those extensions run in the cloud. And now fundamentally that is what allows that third-party environment to exist for third parties to create interesting applications that run integrated with and in conjunction with our applications. Now we realized of course that we chose Java, we chose the Oracle Database, we chose other technologies. Other vendors may want to choose other technologies, right? I mean there are other... To MySQL as well. That's right, I mean they want to choose MySQL, which is an Oracle product. They might want to choose Node.js, they may want to choose Ruby, and they may want to choose Python. So we support a broad set of technologies in our platform, managed through exactly the same interfaces and able to integrate with our SaaS applications in exactly the same way that a Java application is. So we don't constrain the kinds of technologies that third parties can use running in our platform to extend our applications, right? And when we do an acquisition, we don't limit ourselves only to the set of companies out there who chose to use Java. Now it turns out a lot of them have, Java is a very good programming language, it's very popular, but it's not the only programming language. So we do acquire companies that say implemented their code based in primarily Python, and that's fine, we can run that in our platform and in the Oracle Cloud. Edward, thanks for spending the time to come on theCUBE, really appreciate you laying it out for us here as the architecture of Oracle's new cloud success. I wish we had more time, I have a slew of more questions I'd love to ask you around data identity, because there's a lot of stuff going on around data, data hoarding, data silos, busting down those silos, obviously marketing cloud, HCM, CRM, a lot of data. So final word for the segment, just share your quick thoughts on the role of data in this new architecture. Well, I mean, data is central, right? I mean, fundamentally what people want to be able to do is they want to be able to understand what's going on in their business, they want to understand what's going on in the minds of their customers, they want to be able to understand what's going on with their employees, right? They need to leverage that data to make better business decisions and either provide better service or make more money. Federated identity, all this stuff, good stuff. Persona 360, you're the customer, supply chain innovation, all this stuff's changing. Thanks so much for sharing your insights here on theCUBE, really appreciate it. This is theCUBE, we are live on Howard Street with exclusive Oracle open world coverage from SiliconANGLE Media's theCUBE team, web TV team and also Wikibon Research at SiliconANGLE.com reporters. We'll be right back with more after this short break.


Hello, this is Laptop Media, and today, we will show you how to open the Razer Blade 17 and what's inside of it. To take this laptop apart, you first need to undo a total of 10 Torx head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the front or the sides. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. Here, we see an 82Wh battery pack. It got us through almost 8 hours of web browsing, or 6 hours of video playback. Interestingly, it is cut in half by a fan. To remove the battery, unplug it from the motherboard, and undo the 8 Philips head screws, keeping it in place. Don't forget to also unplug the fan. This device features 2 Sodom slots, which work with DDR5 RAM. The maximum supported capacity is 64GB. Storage wise, you get 2 M.2 PCI-EX4 slots, both of which are able to fit gen for SSDs. Lastly, there is the cooling. It comprises a huge vapor chamber, 2 heat sinks, 2 fans, and some additional cooling for the VRMs. If you'd like to see more disassembly videos of the latest notebooks we would highly appreciate if you hit the like button and subscribe to the channel.


Lecture 2, As-Salaam-Alaikum. Welcome to the virtual university's course on business and technical communication. Today we will look at oral communication. We will talk about the different types of oral communication, which include extemporary, impromptu, memorization and reading. We will also look at the different modes of delivery for making oral presentations and the different guidelines for making the delivery of oral presentations. It is important that you communicate well whether you are communicating orally or in writing. Ideas are useless unless you are able to communicate them properly to somebody else. For example, if you take the example of Ahmed who majored in metallurgy, he has analyzed a group of pistons that broke when used in experimental automobile engines. His skillful analysis is of no use unless he communicates the results to someone else such as the engineer who must redesign the pistons. Obviously, if you have identified a problem, you found a solution to a problem. For example, like Ahmed who identified the problem of the group of pistons that broke down and he analyzed why it happened and maybe what to do to make sure that it did not happen again. All this is of no use unless he is able to communicate his ideas to the engineers who are able to fix them or to people who are going to implement what his ideas are. So, it is important that whatever you have in your mind, you are able to communicate it well and properly to your audience. Whether you communicate that in writing or whether you communicate that in speech orally is something for you to decide depending on the purpose of that communication. In today's lecture, we will look specifically at oral communication and we will cover the different types of oral communication, the modes of delivery and the guidelines for delivery as I mentioned earlier. Now, oral presentations can be informal and formal both. It depends on what the purpose is. There are explicit purposes which are obvious, known to people and they are implicit purposes which are not known to everybody, but they are there, they are hidden purposes. So, both these explicit and implicit purposes will determine whether your presentation is going to be informal or formal and also the delivery situation. Where is it that the presentation has to be made? That will also determine whether it is to be a formal presentation or an informal presentation. An oral presentation can be almost any report type such as a design review, a proposal or a conference talk. Whatever the specific type of presentation however, an effective oral presentation is carefully planned with your objectives in mind and it pays close attention to the demands of your audience. Obviously, if you cannot pay attention to the demands of your audience, if you do not know what your audience wants or what your audience is expecting from you, then your presentation cannot achieve its purpose. That is why it is important that the audience that you are listening to, the expectations that they want from this presentation, meet them. And until you pay attention to this, your presentation will not be very effective. Let us have a look at a comparison table between written and oral communication. What is the difference between written communication and oral communication? In written communications, publications which are written permit potentially unlimited audience over time and place. Obviously, if something has been written down, then potentially the time over which it is viewed is unlimited because once it has been written down then it can be viewed over a long period of time and even where it is viewed is not limited. The written communication can go from one place to another and you do not have to be physically present there. Whereas, oral communication is generally limited to time and place of delivery. Oral communication has to be done at a particular time at a particular place and it cannot be duplicated in exactly the same way at another time or place unless it has been recorded. In written communication, there is no direct audience interaction. So, that is another major difference between written and oral communication. That in written communication, there is no direct interaction between audience and the presenter. Whereas, in oral communication, there is a very high level of audience interaction. Or at least a high level of audience interaction is possible. It can be low or high but there is direct interaction between the audience and the presenter. Another difference is that of structure. Whereas, in written communication, there is a very refined argumentative structure. Oral communication relies on a simple presentation of main points. In written communication, a complicated point can also be complicated whereas, in oral communication, the points are clearly stated directly. Also, in written communication, there is a large volume of detailed information which can be communicated. More information can be communicated in written communication and even detailed information can be read. Whereas, in oral communication, there is a very limited information because obviously, there is a factor of time. Secondly, you have to see how much information the audience can absorb. So, when in written communication, a large number of information can be sent out. In oral communication, the amount of information is limited. Moreover, in written communication, the syntax and diction that is used is very precise. The sentence structure, the vocabulary is very precise. It is tailored to written communication. It is more formal as well. In contrast, in oral communication, the syntax and the diction that is used, the style of speaking, the style of communicating is very conversational. It is less formal than written communication. It is more conversational. Similarly, in written communication, the emphasis is text whereas, in oral communication, the emphasis is on visuals. Similarly, in written communication, the sentence structure is formal. Similarly, in written communication, the text and the words used in the content and the way the content is written is more intense. Whereas, in oral presentation, the style is conversational. The vocabulary and grammar used are a bit casual. Moreover, the emphasis is more on visuals than what you are showing. Another difference is that in written communication, it is the reader who controls the pace of presentation. It is the reader who decides when to take a break, when to stop reading, how long it should take to read a particular document, etc. Whereas, in oral communication, it is the presenter who decides the pace. You as a presenter decide how many gaps to take, how many pauses to make, how long the presentation should take, or how short the presentation should be. Even if in written communication, as the presenter, you may have taken, for example, four days to write a particular paper or report, the reader might read it either in ten minutes or they might take a week to read it depending on the speed that they determine. In oral presentations, however, even if you have taken four days to prepare the presentation, you do not have the option of presenting it over four days. The option will be what you determine, but it will also be restricted to time, as we said earlier. And the reader or the listener, the audience does not have the choice of how long the presentation will take. Now, effective oral communication is a combination of many skills. It involves outlining and planning, preparing overhead slides or other display media. It involves rehearsing and delivery. So, whereas first you will outline, plan, what needs to go in the presentation. Then you will prepare accordingly the visuals, the overheads or the slides or display material that goes with it. Then once you've got that prepared, you will rehearse. You will practice. And then eventually you will deliver. And all these require a combination of many, many, many different skills. When we talk about formal and informal oral reports, we need to keep in mind that an oral report may be delivered around a small table with just a few listeners or it can be a large auditorium where you're delivering and the audience might consist of hundreds of people. So, that will also determine the size of the audience, the context in which the presentation is to be delivered will determine whether the presentation is to be formal or informal. Obviously, if the presentation is in front of hundreds of people, it is more likely that it is going to be formal. Informal oral reports are generally characterized by small group settings with a high degree of audience interaction and a relaxed manner of delivery and rest. Now, in informal presentations, it is more likely that the group will be small.  It can also be formal. But the majority of the chances are that informal presentations are presented for a small group and the mode of delivery is also informal. The dress sense is also informal and the interaction with the audience is more. That means, the presenter will pause more and the audience can ask a question or have a discussion. Obviously, it is not possible in a large group. Informal presentations can foster the free exchange of ideas and they can be important for producing action items. Basically, if there is a small group of people and there is the possibility that ideas can be exchanged and that there can be pauses in the presentation and people can talk to each other and especially to the presenter, then it is also more likely that it can be decided what action to be taken immediately rather than people going away with the ideas and then deciding on actions that need to be taken as a result of the presentation. In informal, it is very likely that there will be a lot of interaction, people can talk to each other more. Obviously, it means work. And because of that, whatever action to be taken, it will be decided quickly. Oral presentations in a professional environment generally form into two categories. They can be informative or they can be persuasive. Now, informative speaking or informative presentations have audience learning as their primary goal. So, when we say that a particular presentation is going to be informative, then the idea is that we are expecting that the audience will learn something from it. An informative speech may explain a concept, instruct an audience, demonstrate a process or describe an event. For example, what I am doing right now is informative speaking. I am explaining a concept, I am instructing an audience. Similarly, informative speaking could be demonstrating a process or describing an event. All things which tell the audience something. In a professional setting, the informative speech may take many different forms. It can be in the form of an individual or group report. Oral briefings can be informative speaking, panel discussions and oral critique. These are all different forms of informative speaking. Persuasive speaking on the other hand is used to influence what an audience thinks or does. It is not used to tell an audience something, but it is used to influence or change the way they are doing something or they are thinking about something. Some of the goals of persuasive speaking include reinforcing the attitudes, beliefs and values that an audience already holds. They can be to inoculate an audience against counter-persuasion to make sure that the audience does not get persuaded against the idea. That is why it is called a preventive measure. Persuasive speaking is done so that the audience does not get persuaded against the idea. It is also used to change attitudes. If the audience has an attitude and you want to change their attitude or you want their belief to be different then persuasive speaking can be done. And also to motivate an audience to act. If you want the listeners to take a particular action on an audience then persuasive speaking is done so that they can motivate them to take action. There are at least four delivery methods for making an order presentation. These methods are called extemporary, impromptu, memorization or reading method. The extemporaneous method involves significant effort but it also results in a degree of quality that tells your audience that you care about them and the subject. Now basically this means that when you are engaging in extemporaneous speaking you are making the effort to prepare with the result that you get quality and the audience realizes that your audience is sure that you have cared enough to prepare. In extemporary you will prepare and as a result of that your presentation will have a good quality. The extemporaneous method requires the detailed laying out of the presentation from the beginning to end. You will prepare the presentation in a special detail. It involves doing your homework to fill in knowledge gaps. For extemporaneous presentation you will have to do some research. You will have to do some background work so that your knowledge can be fulfilled if it is lacking somewhere. It also involves the use of three by five cue cards or similar methods, similar prompts to jog your memory on specifics and to keep your presentation on track. So in an extemporary presentation you will use some kind of cue either small three by five cue cards that you can look at or that you can glance at when you are presenting just so that you don't forget or any similar paper or something which looks neat and has key points of your presentation so that you don't forget. The impromptu method on the other hand is when there is no formal preparation and the presenter just stands or sits in front of the audience without having prepared and gives a presentation. Now this it's impromptu it's off the cuff, it is unprepared and this impromptu method is characterized by poor organization and incompleteness. These are two main characteristics that come across in impromptu presentations. It tells the audience the message that goes to the audience is that you as a presenter are indifferent about them. Obviously when you have not prepared then your presentation has a lot of chances, 99% chance that your presentation will have some shortcomings. Some organizations will not be as good as extemporary prepared presentations. From this the audience gets this message or this idea that maybe you are indifferent to them you don't realize their needs and you are taking them very casually. The memorization method the third method that we mentioned is risky. Basically the memorization method means that you have memorized the whole presentation and you are not relying on any visual aids. Now obviously this is risky because you can lose where you were in the presentation. If you get distracted a bit then you can lose your place in the presentation or you can leave something out at the end or somewhere in the middle and in a panic you may also revert to impromptu method which means that if you panic if you miss out a part of what you had memorized then you will be forced to speak without any preparation and this can result in disaster. So try not to rely on the memorization method because obviously if you miss out on something and if you forget any words then your presentation will be completely twisted. It will fall apart and then you will have to go impromptu.  Finally the reading method it might be acceptable if you are presenting a discourse on some technical topic about which you lack expertise if it is something technical if it is something that you do not know much about it is a concept that you will not be able to talk about without reading then it might be acceptable otherwise generally the reading method is not acceptable basically because if you are reading then there is no audience interaction and also if you are constantly reading from a paper then it bores the audience and also it gives the impression that you do not know anything about your subject and therefore you are having to read. So obviously if you have to constantly read one thing then your audience becomes aware that you do not know anything about this topic or you do not know much that is why you have to constantly read that is why you should avoid it only in that case it will be acceptable if there is a very technical topic about which you are presenting and it is also understood that you may not know too much about it then it might be acceptable an example could be in presenting a paper at a technical meeting ill for example so if you are at a technical meeting you have to present a paper everybody knows that you have not written the paper you are reading it for a colleague who is ill then it is acceptable now when you are preparing for the presentation as we said it is better to prepare it is better to present extemporary rather than impromptu so you need to obviously have some preparation done before you actually make a presentation but irrespective of whatever method of delivery it is even if you are reading the presenter must consider the following parameters in preparing for the presentation these parameters are knowledge of the audience knowledge of the subject what it is that you are talking about the use of time how much time you have how will you use that properly rehearsal you obviously need to practice before and personal appearance and grooming five points are very very important and you have to keep these in mind when you are making a presentation no matter what the mode of delivery is especially when you are making an extemporary presentation but even for the other three types you have to keep these points in mind additionally the preparation and use of visual aids is an important element of any effective presentation obviously if you are reading then maybe you will not be using too many visual aids or if you are making an impromptu presentation then you will not have any visual aids and that is why also these presentations are not very effective for presentation to be effective make sure that you have appropriate and well planned visual aids talking of knowledge of the audience that we said we need to keep in mind you need to be careful that you are not patronizing your audience just because you are informing them or persuading them about a subject does not mean that they are in any way inferior to you don't speak down to them or up to them as your audience basically this means that you shouldn't think that they are below you in terms of knowledge and you shouldn't even make it very obvious that they are if they are very much more highly knowledgeable don't speak up to them don't become subservient to them either speak to them on an equal footing also keep in mind how much do they already know about your subject till you don't know how much your audience knows about your subject your presentation cannot be effective because it is also possible that you are telling basic points that the audience already knows and then they get bored or it is possible you are assuming that your audience knows basic things and you are presenting at an advanced level and then the audience doesn't understand so it is important that you know how much your audience knows about your subject also you should know the age level of the audience as well as its members level of education sophistication and special interests it always helps when your audience has a similar profile if your audience has a similar age level similar educational level similar interest then the work becomes easy for you because your presentation is targeted for a more uniform audience but if your audience has a similar age level background then you have to imagine what kind of people are in your audience so that your presentation is made according to that and that is basically when you have tailored your presentation accordingly that is when your presentation can actually reach all segments of your audience now when we say knowledge of the subject this we talked about knowledge of the audience the next point is knowledge of the subject this basically means that whether you use notes or you use a manuscript that you are reading from or you are strictly relying on memory you must know your subject well whatever your mode of delivery is but you should have complete control over your subject if there are any gaps if there are any areas that you do not know about and they can come to your presentation they can ask questions or if there are any gaps in your presentation then it is your responsibility to fill those gaps and if you do not know about that you should get knowledge you need to observe time limits you need to rehearse if you do not stick to a particular time that there is a chance that your presentation will be either very short or very long the likelihood is that presentations tend to go over so you need to rehearse to make sure that you stick to the time that has been given even if no time limit is given you should try to do justice to your subject in as little time as possible try to keep your presentation short rather than long because with the short presentation it is more likely that the audience will stay interested whereas with the long presentation you need to lose interest so if you have not been given a time limit then try to keep your presentation to the lower end try to keep it short but not at the expense of the content in the presentation the short-trip of the presentation does not mean that you should incomplete your presentation the important information is to be used but try to do it in a concise way so that you can make it longer your personal appearance affects your credibility it affects how the audience views you and how you come across to them so it is very important that your personal appearance should be like this that you are professional that you are listening to that you are in your audience that you have prepared so let us see what you think informal clothing is rarely appropriate for a professional presentation it is very unlikely that it will be acceptable for you to make a presentation in informal attire obviously you are in a professional setting normally you should go in informal clothes but the day you have to present it is better to wear a little formal clothes so that you look more professional that is why it is important that you should pay significant attention to personal grooming your hair, your dress whatever you have should be formal during the presentation the delivery is a very important aspect even if you have prepared well you have been conscious of time and your personal appearance is very neat and very effective but if you are not delivering properly then everything can crumble all your preparation can go down the drain basically so when we talk of presentation delivery it is important to keep in mind poise and enthusiasm you need to keep in mind eye contact use of voice and use of time what do we mean when we say poise and enthusiasm basically it means you should be well prepared and strive for muscular control alert attention vibrant interest in the subject and you should show an eagerness to communicate you need to be poised you need to look confident and you need to look enthusiastic you should not be your hands should not be shaking even if you are nervous it should not come across to the audience whatever your nervousness is you should not be confident you need to be poised you need to be alert so that your audience can be alert and you need to keep in mind your own interest in the subject so that your audience can know that you are eager and enthusiastic that should come across avoid distracting mannerisms whatever your body language or pencil use do not distract your audience for example some people have the habit of tapping if they have a pen in their hand they have the habit of tapping that or they have a habit of fidgeting with something in their hand try to avoid things like that because they can distract the audience and instead of that their tension will go on on your hands and they will distract but it does not mean that you will be a frozen statue you will move about not excessively but a bit so that the audience knows that you are interacting with them and that you are enthusiastic during a presentation try to make eye contact with most of the people in the room if not everybody in the room so make sure that you are looking at the people who are sitting in your presentation and that you are making eye contact don't look down or don't gaze blankly at a wall behind your audience if you make eye contact then it gives the impression that the audience knows that you are interested in them and that you are confident this is the way even in a warm professional setting and if we don't look at them then they will feel that either we are hiding something from them or we are lying or we are not confident in talking to them similarly when you are doing a presentation then make eye contact so that you are sincere and so that the audience is interested in you avoid fastening your gaze on your notes or on some point in space over the heads of the listeners as I said don't just look at your notes don't just look down don't look just at the screen that the audience is seeing or at the wall because then basically you are interacting with whatever you are looking at and you are not interacting with your audience obviously the way you are seeing the way you are speaking your interaction is with those who are sitting so avoid this that you are just looking at your paper and don't look up apart from this you should also avoid that you are only eye contact with one or two people and ignoring the rest because even with that who you have kept eye contact with the two people they will be a little intimidated and the rest will feel left out so it has a negative effect so try to be more friendly with other people use of voice don't speak too softly too fast or mumble your audience must be able to hear what you say and they must be able to understand what you say so avoid speaking too fast and avoid speaking so slow that your audience goes off to sleep another important thing is the time if you have not prepared adequately it is easy to become nervous and start rushing through your presentation so if you need to be careful that you don't speak too fast you don't finish your presentation long before the allotted time so instead try to use take a deep breath if you become nervous try to use the pacing that you established during your rehearsals whatever you did in your rehearsals try to keep that timing when you are making a formal presentation the material of the presentation should be concise to the point and it should tell an interesting story in addition to the obvious things like content and visual aids the following that we will talk about are just as important as the audience will subconsciously be taking them in the obvious things are the content and the visual aids there are just a few things that the audience will be able to see but there are also some other things that you need to take care of because they will also affect the audience the first of them is your voice how you say things is as important as what you say so even if your content is very effective very impressive how you deliver that content don't speak too loud don't speak too soft as I said earlier your audience should not be getting the impression that you are shouting at them and they shouldn't feel that you are mumbling so keep your voice pleasant keep it at the right pitch so that it gives a good impression body language is important a subject in its own right and something about which much has been written and said basically body language is basically how you stand, how you move about how you move your hands the movements of your body essentially your body movements express what your attitudes and thoughts really are now if your hands are shaking then it shows the audience that you are nervous if you are standing in a frozen position with your hands closed then it shows the audience that a. you are very tense b. and not relaxed and also b. that especially if your hands are closed then you are not forthcoming to their ideas it shows that you are closed you are closed up the appearance is important first impressions, inference the audience's attitude to you so you should dress appropriately for the occasion if you are sloppy then the audience will automatically when they see you on the stage or in front of them in a sloppy manner sloppy attire, hair going all over the place looking untidy then they will feel that you are a careless person you lose interest in the presentation or at least they will not take you very seriously so keep your appearance in mind as well as with most personal skills oral communication cannot be taught you can only point the way so don't think that you are teaching somebody you are just giving them information you are just persuading them you are just pointing out the way to them so as always practice it is essential so that you can improve your skills and also so that you can make the best of the individual presentations that you make so practice at the end practice is very important the more you practice the better your presentation will be now when you are preparing the presentation what do you need to keep in mind at that point you need to prepare the structure of your talk logically and carefully just as you would for a written report when you are writing a written report so obviously even then you practice the structure you think what should I write first what should I write later how should I start it similarly you will also carefully structure what will come first, what will come later what will come between you will also think what are the objectives of my talk why am I making this talk what do I hope to achieve out of it what are the main points that is something that you need to keep in mind make a list of these two things as you are starting as you are starting point your objectives and the main points that you want to put across in your presentation so if you have got the list of objectives list of main points that will make you make it easier for you to start write out the presentation in draft just like you would write out the draft of a written report a craft draft banai up the presentation review it see it again see what you have to add what you have to remove if there are things that are irrelevant or superfluous then delete them add information that you feel will be more relevant check that the story that you are giving or whatever if you are describing an event if that or if you are describing a process or idea check that it is consistent check that it flows smoothly there are no breaks or gaps if there are things that you cannot easily express possibly because you are in doubt about your understanding then it is better to leave them unsaid if there are any such points that you may not be able to explain maybe because they are complicated you may not have enough knowledge you may not be able to fill that gap if you get any information then it is better to leave them instead of using them in the presentation and then you will know that your knowledge was less never never read from a script don't write things down and read from it directly it is also unwise to have the talk written out in detail as a prompt sheet just try to keep points, notes the chances if you have something very long written down one disadvantage of that is that there is a high chance that you will miss where you were in the presentation if there is much written on the page then you will forget where you left if you removed your perspective from the paper then when you go back to the paper you will not get a point where you want to start so it is the chances that you will not locate the thing you want to say amongst all the other texts don't make a script to read from you should know most of what you want to say if you don't then you should not be giving the talk obviously if you are giving a talk about it there is no information about it then maybe you should not give that talk so it is better to make Q cards like I said 3x5 cards on which you can write keywords or key phrases maybe if you want to make diagrams which you can easily understand what you have written write on your Q cards so that you don't have to look at them for a long time postcards are ideal for this they are a good size you can have key information on them so you can use postcards and they look pleasant as well but don't forget to number them put a number on your cards so that if you fall or if you have one card in front of you then your presentation will not be full number them so that you can always put them in sequence remember also to mark your cards according to the visual aids that go with them if there are any visual aids that go with a particular Q then mark on your cards that there will be a visual aid here so that you have the right overhead projector slide transparency etc that is shown with them also rehearse your presentation first to yourself and then in front of some colleagues so that you don't make any mistakes the initial rehearsal should consider how the words and sequence of visual aids go together so in the first rehearsal rehearse according to where you will have the visual aids what will you be saying and then obviously you will make as you practice more perfect also note how you will make the most effective use of your visual aids where visual aids can make more of an impact now when you are actually delivering the presentation when you are actually making the presentation you need to greet the audience for example you will say good morning ladies and gentlemen you will tell them who you are introduce yourself good presentations basically follow a particular formula that you will first tell the audience what you are going to tell them basically this means that you will tell your audience in the beginning what presentation is about secondly you will tell them what you are talking about you will tell them in detail you will expand this will be the middle section and third and last at the end you will recap what you have told them so you will tell the audience what you will tell them you will then eventually tell them what you need what they need to know and then you will recap you will tell them what they were told it sounds as if you are constantly telling them but it really means that you are introducing then you are giving the main part of your presentation and then you are summarizing keep to the time allowed if you have been given a time limit stick to it if you can keep it short it is better to under run than over run and we have talked about this earlier as a rule allow two minutes for each general overhead transparency each transparency that you will be showing allow generally two minutes to discuss it or power point slide if you are using power point slides but if you want to develop any specific points then you can keep allocate more than two minutes for a particular slide 35mm slides are generally used more sparingly and stay on the screen longer so if you are using 35mm slides then you will not be using too many of them you will keep them on the screen long and you will talk about them for longer however please remember that your audience will get bored with something on the screen for more than five minutes especially if you are not actively talking about it so if there is something that is on the screen for longer than five minutes then you can change it the audience needs more visual changes so that they can be alert and they can remain interested in the presentation so either switch the display off or replace the slide with some form of wallpaper maybe your company logo if you are not actively talking about a slide then replace it stick to the plan for the presentation do not be tempted to digress do not go here and there when you have made a plan, you have made an outline stick to it if you move away from it too much you will eat up your time you will waste time and end up in a dead end with no escape sometimes it is very common that it happens that if you move away from the prepared presentation then you cannot find a way to come back so try to stay on your track unless you are directly explicitly told not to leave time for discussion if you are told that you will not have a discussion later that you will not leave time for discussion otherwise, as a rule you should always leave for discussion if you have more time then it is more but five minutes is generally sufficient so that whatever points are there whatever points are there in your presentation people can clarify and chairman, whoever it is may extend this if the questioning becomes interesting so obviously if people have more questions then whoever is organizing the presentation can obviously then give permission to have a longer question answer session at the end of your presentation always ask if there are any questions when you are asking for questions do not be very short do not ask in a way that the audience feels that we are doing something wrong or we are doing something wrong do not give them the impression that if they are asking questions then their knowledge is lacking but rather ask them in a way that they feel that you are inviting questions and you are encouraging them to ask questions so that the presentation can move forward if questions are slow and coming and people are feeling hesitant in asking you can ask you can start things off by asking a question of the audience so have a question prepared just in case if you feel that the audience is asking then ask them a question so that their hesitation ends when you are delivering the presentation speak clearly do not shout or whisper judge the acoustics of the room check before the presentation how the acoustics are how the voice moves does the voice go back or not etc do not rush or talk deliberately slowly be natural but do not be very conversational do not feel that you are completely casual relaxed just like you are sitting in the drawing room just like that deliberately pause at key points this has the effect of emphasizing the importance of a particular point that you are making so give pauses so that the audience can also digest what you are saying but do not make your pauses too long avoid jokes this is always disastrous unless you are natural at making jokes and you are very confident at making jokes generally what happens is that if people make jokes if it does not go well with the audience then it can leave a very bad taste in the mouth and it can leave a very awkward silence as well so try to avoid jokes just stick to the presentation to make the presentation interesting change your delivery but not obviously if you feel that the audience is getting bored change either your speed to emphasize points but do not indulge in too much hand waving do not your hand should not be going all over the place use them a bit so that the audience stays interested people can over time develop irritating habits so ask your colleagues if there is any particular habit that you have when making a presentation and if that seems irritating then you should avoid that look at the audience as much as possible and do not fix on an individual because it can be intimidating pitch your presentation towards the back of the room or the back of the audience especially if it is a large auditorium or a large room do not face the display screen behind you if you have a screen that is behind you and it is projecting there is something information being projected on that do not face it and have your back to the audience try to look at your audience as much as possible other annoying habits can be standing in a position where you obscure the screen if you are standing in a way that you are in front of the screen that can be very irritating for the audience because obviously what you have put on the screen is that the audience can see it if you stand in front of it then the audience's view will be obstructed in fact check consciously check to make sure that everybody in the audience can see what is on the screen if you feel cannot see then try to accommodate them try to move if you feel that one section of the audience cannot see the screen do not mutter over the transparency or an overhead projector plate because what happens is a lot of the times people point the overhead projector and they slide on that on the plate and they do not realize that they are blocking the projection of the image it is preferable to point to the screen rather than on the OHP avoid moving about too much you should not be running around all over the place in front of the screen because too much pacing up and down can unnerve the audience it is very distracting and it seems that you are very tense also apart from your own body language be aware of the audience's body language if you feel that people in the audience are completely relaxed or bored then you can change the pace change the speed change the audience's interest no when to stop and also when to cut out a piece of the presentation if you feel it is becoming too long and people are becoming bored then maybe you need to delete a section of the presentation and move on if you feel it is boring visual aids can significantly improve the interest in a presentation can be relevant to what you want to say and they must be well designed because a careless design or use of a slide can simply get in the way of a presentation what you use depends on the type of talk you are giving so whatever your visual aids are effective, well planned so that you are interested in a presentation some possibilities of visual aids are overhead projection transparencies which we call OHPs computer projection which can be in the form of power point applications such as Excel or applications like Excel video, film, these are very effective visual aids as well real objects either handled from the speakers bench where you are or passed around this could be in the form of handouts or it could be any other real objects that you want to display flip chart or blackboard are also effective as a scratch pad to expand on a point so you can have a flip chart or blackboard or whiteboard on the stage or in your space so that you can expand on a point very quickly and you can also have a combination of these visual aids if you are an expert at using them keep it simple however a complex set of hardware can result in confusion for the speaker and the audience make sure you know in advance what you are using and also when you want a particular display to appear sometimes a technician will operate the equipment so arrange beforehand what is to happen and when a particular slide or object is to be shown to the audience if you feel that there are things which are irrelevant superfluous then leave them out if you need to use a slide twice duplicate it going back and looking for it so that you can repeat it slides and OHPs should contain minimum information if there is too much information on slides and OHPs then the audience gets confused and it will divert your audience's attention and they will take more time in reading than listening to you try to limit words per slide to a maximum of 10 so don't use more than 10 words in one slide use a reasonable size font and a typeface which will enlarge well typically an 18 point times roman on OHPs is good or preferably larger a guideline is if you can read the OHP from a distance of 2 meters without projection then it's probably okay avoid using a diagram prepared for a technical report in your talk if you have made a technical report then don't use it in your presentation it becomes very detailed use color on your slides but avoid orange and yellow because they don't show up very well when they are projected if you're only using text white or yellow on blue background is very pleasant to look at and it's easy to read and then books and presentation techniques have a lot of detail as well on what to use and how to use it avoid adding to OHPs with a pen during the talk or even OHPs that you've prepared during your talk because it's messy, the audience gets distracted and they can also see if your hand is shaking on the projector this is also another good reason why you should point to the screen rather than on the projector when you are using the OHP consider the room lighting how is the room lit? don't keep it too dark or too bright because if it's too bright then you need to keep switching off lights when you're projecting your audience will go off to sleep so check the lighting, if you need to keep switching lights off then know, you should know where the light switch are and how to operate them in this lecture, we looked at the different types of oral communication which were extemporary impromptu, memorization and delivery by reading we also looked at the different modes of delivery the delivery guidelines how to deliver a presentation and how to actually make an oral

Hey everyone, welcome to my channel. Today's recipe I'm whipping up a nice lemon tart with a pecan butter cinnamon crust, which I think you're going to love. I love it, I want to share it with you, I can't wait. So I'm rocking Robin and I'm going to show you how to do it right after this. Here's our ingredients for our crust. I've got some raw pecans here, some brown sugar, butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. For our tart filling we'll need three lemons, these should be organic, and we're going to use the zest and the juice from these. We'll need three whole eggs and two egg whites, some butter, and some sugar. So pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and we're going to begin with our crust. So we're going to take our pecans and we're going to place them into a food processor, along with the cinnamon, the brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. And we're going to blend that up a little bit and break it down so that it's nice and crumbly. Then we're going to add our butter, but we melted it first. So go ahead and do that, and then just drizzle it in, scrape it out with a spatula so you get every last drop.  Then we're going to pour our mixture into, I have a 9-inch pie plate here. You can use any kind of dish that'll work in the oven. So you can see it kind of looks like sand. The consistency is, you know, just a little bit sticky, but not much. Then spread this out and press it into your plate. So we're going to push that crust firmly into the pie plate and up the sides until it's nice and firm. So our pie crust is going to go in the oven at 325 for somewhere between 12 and 14 minutes. So make sure you place this in the center, you know, of the oven. While our crust is cooking in the oven, it'll be done in just a couple of minutes. We've got to let it cool completely before we can add our lemon tart filling, okay? So that gives us plenty of time to make our filling. To start the tart filling, we're going to place three whole eggs and two egg whites into my blender. Wait for it. There goes my egg yolk. Did you see that? It's not supposed to be in there, so use your shell and just take it out with the shell and it'll be easy to get out. So this is how it's supposed to be done. Just pour it right in your hand and come right through. Then we're going to take the sugar, the butter, and the lemon juice and we're going to place that into a saucepan. And the reason we're doing that is because we want to dissolve that sugar up a little bit before we combine the two together and that way it's not going to be grainy for you. But when you do the lemons, make sure you use organic first of all, zest first. So I'm going to go through and zest all three of my lemons into the pan before we juice them. It just makes it easier. So go ahead and roll your lemon, give it a good roll to release the juices, and then I'm using a reamer here to extract the juice. You're going to want to run your juice here through a strainer in case you get some seeds in it because you don't want that in your tart filling. Now we want to heat this up, not super boiling hot or anything like that, just enough so that you can tell when you stir it that all the sugar has dissolved and of course the butter has too. But right now I can hear it. It just sounds a little grainy because it hasn't, the sugar hasn't dissolved yet. So just keep it going. All right our sugar is dissolved. Now remember the eggs in the blender? Well let's blend them up. I'm a little blend and now I can just leave it on and pour it through the top here. Then you're going to take your juice with the lemon juice with the sugar and we're going to drizzle it in and blend it as we go. Now remember it's not too hot if it was really hot and it would probably cook your eggs and you don't want to do that. So turn it on. We got it on kind of low and I just start pouring this in. Give it a nice mix and then we're going to pour this back into the saucepan. We're going to take it over to the stove and we're going to cook it. We don't want it to boil now. We just want to cook it until we're going to use a wooden spoon and that wooden spoon is going to get coated on the back. I'll show you in just a second. All right we're going to cook our egg mixture. You can see it's kind of foamy right now. That's going to change in a few minutes here as it cooks. But I have my temperature on medium low. I don't want this to boil and I want to use a wooden spoon and that's my test. So when it gets cooked it's going to thicken up and it's going to coat the back of the spoon real well. So you want to stir this pretty constantly. So now you can see how thick this got and what I was saying earlier about the spoon you take your finger and you see how the the filling just stays right where I wiped. That means it's done. So we'll turn the heat off. That took about five minutes. So we'll just pour this right into our pie and if you're like me you'll probably taste it out of the pan because it tastes yummy. All right we'll leave a little in there for me to enjoy and then you just want to smooth it out and now like I said we're going to pop this in the oven 325 for about 15 minutes. So when the lemon tart comes out of the oven after about 15 minutes or so you're going to want to let it cool completely and then place it in the refrigerator to chill and firm up for probably two to three hours at a minimum overnight would probably be best. All right so here's our pie after about four hours in the fridge it's nice and firm and I'm going to try and serve it up hopefully it won't stick to the bottom of the pan and will come out nicely. That is definitely delicious guys there's that nice tartness sweet tart thing definitely tart definitely got that sweetness in there too. Love it the crust with the pecans they get toasted in the oven which gives them more dimension and flavor and it's got that little hint of cinnamon. So that's my lemon tart recipe I hope you enjoyed it it's super easy to make and it just comes together really quick and it is delicious so thank you so much for watching if you'd like to subscribe to my channel click the subscribe button at the end of the video it's right up here or there's a subscribe button down below the video along with that bell and you know what that bell is right the bell tells you when new videos of mine come out every week you'll be notified so don't miss that.
