It does not make sense for God to prohibit half of his children from taking down the devil and being vessels of him and making the kingdom of God to go forth. When we deal with the issue about women being pastors, a lot of times people throw in their emotions, how they see things, how they feel, maybe their experience, sometimes they're wants or desires. The problem is we ought to do what Paul says and that is not to exceed, as he says in 1 Corinthians 4-6, not to exceed what is written. Don't come up with things that aren't actually there or read into things and then draw out even more. For example, you will hear people saying that certain people were actually pastors or had more prominent roles, certain women had more prominent roles, certain offices in the Bible, but that's not ever what the text says. People will say things such as Mary being the first evangelist because Jesus chose to show himself to her and sent her out to preach the Gospels to the disciples. That's not correct. That's not true. She was simply instructed to tell them that he is risen and to meet them. We see the same with Phoebe who was a servant, but someone to ascribe to her a level of more than what she really is. She was simply delivering letters, delivering letters, but she was not preaching or teaching. Clearly, the Scripture doesn't say this and so if to make that to be what she is, when it doesn't say so, you are violating what Paul says, which is exceeding what the text says. In Colossians, Paul speaks about Nympha and the church meeting in her house, but they're trying to say, someone will say that she is a founder of the church. She's leading the church. That's not what it says. It just says the church that is meeting in her house. Famously, you'll hear about Junia. We don't even know if Junia is a woman or a man, but then to call her an apostle, the Bible is clear. She or he is not an apostle. But what about Philip and his daughters? Well, the Bible says in Acts 21A, it says, on the next day, left and came to Caesarea and entering the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stay with him. That's what it says. Now this man had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses. Now this word, prophetesses, is not prophetesses as a noun. The actual word that's used here is a verb, who prophesied. Now, is a prophet the same as a pastor? No, it's not.  We don't disagree with that part. And so there can be a woman or male who could give a revelation, but we're talking about the office of a pastor. Now, one of the more laughable, I think, silly arguments that you're going to hear is that certain passages are taken out of context. We need to keep them in context because they only apply to certain cultures to that particular church. We're going to find some very big flaws as we listen to this reasoning. So now we're going to enter in context. What was happening in the times in the Corinthian church, for example, when Paul was speaking to this is there was a lot of sin going on in that culture. Women were acting rebellious. And so in the church, it was translating. That culture was translating into the church and women were getting overly zealous and not in a good way. Now a couple of things before we let her continue. One, she's clearly not a very good Bible teacher, but when she makes these statements that there are a lot of things that were happening in the Corinthian church, I want you to just ask yourself that whatever we think that's happening in the church of Corinth, are these things also happening now? For example, when she says that women are getting overly zealous and not in a good way, saying things they shouldn't say, doing things, acting certain ways. You mean like this? I'm 100% on this, like 100%.   Let's be clear. This young lady says a lot of ignorant things. Why? Because she says things I don't know eat, obviously from a lack of understanding, a lack of knowledge. She's exactly what Paul would be speaking of about women at Corinth, but also today, because the question is, is what was happening in Corinth also happening today? Well, exhibit A. Clearly what was happening then is also happening now. And notice Paul only calls out one gender. When Paul is saying women should remain silent in the churches, we need to look at the context before it. So he's actually talking about order in the church. If you look before it, he's speaking, this is how prophecy should go forth. It shouldn't be everybody prophesying at one time. This is how speaking in tongues should be. And so he's speaking on this order. He's saying how there should not be disorder in the church. And so now he's addressing women and women at that time were being disorderly because of the culture that was going on in that days that was influencing them. Also women were not educated very well at that time. They had a lot of questions, more questions than the men would. What she's doing here, she's also adding to the text. We don't know who was educated or not. How do you come to the conclusion that women were not as educated as men? Find that passage. Find that, we don't know that. Matter of fact, what we don't know is the education level of the women, nor do we know the education level of the men. And again, the Bible doesn't bring that up as an issue. So what's happening is you're finding that people are saying that that argument is only for that culture, for that context, really for that church. So let's go to 1 Corinthians. Let's go to chapter 14 and let's start in verse 34 says that Paul says that the women are to keep silent in the churches for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves just as the law also says if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. Now here's the question. One, what is the context? What is the purpose of writing this letter? Paul is writing to address divisions, a lack of unity in the church at Corinth, but obviously since we have this letter to our canon, the question is is this letter only for the church of Corinth or is this letter for all of us? Because someone like a Catherine Crick will go to 1 Corinthians 14, that very same book, the very same letter, that very same chapter to speak about the validity of tongues. So if this only applies to the church at Corinth for that context, for that culture, for that time, well then would she make the same argument for tongues? She wouldn't do so now. Her tongue's interpretation is off obviously wrong, but if you're going to say that this only applies for them, well then the rest of it does. You can't take out what you think only applies and so the point that he's making here says women are to keep silent. Now here's the question. As Paul is writing this letter, is it just the women who are disorderly or do we have a lot of men who are disorderly? As a matter of fact, Paul addresses men earlier who are disorderly. So we have that happening a lot. It's not just women, it is also men, but Paul makes a distinction. Why didn't he just say since men are also being disorderly, why didn't he say men keep silent? Since he's speaking about a certain type of wranglings, arguments and so forth, he could have addressed that. There's Paul is not a person who doesn't know how to handle the pen, as though he didn't know how to speak or to write. So he could have addressed that very easily, but he makes a distinction. You see that oftentimes, distinctions being made between men and women. Why would you make these distinctions? And so the question is, and I think it's a silly and unbounded question that they pose or a statement, that is that this is only for the church at Corinth for that culture, that time. But the problem is everything that's happening in that church, in that culture, in that time is literally happening now. As a matter of fact, has been happening. So why would it not apply if we're going to say if the same culture is similar, but Paul is not writing a letter for just that culture. Are there some things that are written in the Bible that are relating to a specific culture? Sure, but the letters are written not for the culture, but for the community writ large for the entirety of the body. But I want to show you something else. This is where their argument goes off because they're going to say this letter to the church of Corinth is to be taken for that church in that context, in that culture. But they also do this for another of Paul's statements to say that this is for that culture, for that context. He never goes, and these can only be men. He just does it in like this one 1st Timothy thing. So then I started delving into that and I started realizing what was happening in that church in Ephesus was there was a woman called and she was a fertility goddess and they were basically part of a false religion and it was the false ideas were coming into the church through the women. Okay, a couple of things again, keeping in mind what Paul stated earlier that we should not or we should learn not to exceed what is written. So he's bringing in, now maybe some of this part is true, but truth be told, isn't that true now? Also, that's not all of Ephesus. That's not all of Ephesus. There were different Ephesus was like of any other city. There were different groups of people who are who have placed their faith in Christ not all believing in the same fertility goddess if that's what he wants us to believe. That's not the case. And so you might be looking to add more into the text just so you can take away your own feeling or your own interpretation to allow women to preach. So what Paul does is he goes, I don't want a woman to teach, but he didn't mean I think in no church ever. He was saying, Timothy, stop the ladies from talking because they're spreading a whole bunch of terrible ideas around your church at this moment in 54 AD. Now his point is you're gonna hear this spoken of by a lot of different people, a lot of proponents of women being able to preach. You're going to hear them say that, well, what's been written to Timothy, we have to look at what's happening because Timothy at the time that Paul is making is writing this, Paul, well, obviously Paul is not there, but Timothy is in Ephesus. And so we need to address what's happening in Ephesus. Why would Paul have this? But Paul's letter to Timothy is not a letter to deal with what's just happening in Ephesus. Paul's letter to Timothy, first and second Timothy, deal with how a person ought to be laying the foundation of the church, how you should be building a church, selecting people, how the elders, how the pastors ought to be. And so the question is when we deal with, when Paul is talking to Timothy about what's happening in Ephesus, if this is only for Ephesus, we have a problem. If this is only for the culture and the context and the problems of Ephesus, that's a problem. Here's why. One, Paul literally writes a letter to the church in Ephesus. Does Paul address any of this in Ephesus? No, does he say that here are the problems that we're having in Ephesus with these women going crea- he didn't say that. Does Paul say that it's okay everywhere else in any other letter? Does Paul address any other letter in terms of male headship or women headshipping in the letters? Well, he does. We'll look at that in a second. But Paul is not speaking about what he thinks is happening in Ephesus, because if so, why doesn't Paul address this in his letter to the church in Ephesus? Oh, by the way, in this same chapter, I mean, the same book, matter of fact, let's go to, before we go to that, let's, let's read what Paul says. Paul says, but I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain silent, for it was Adam who was created first and then even. Now notice what he says, for it was Adam. He didn't say for it's these women or this fertility goddess there that's creeping in. That's not what he says. He gives his reason for it. He says for it was Adam who was created and then even. Notice, remember what God said in Genesis? He says that your desire will be for him, will be after him. There's this constant tension, this friction, but he shall rule over you. And what does Paul bring up? What does Paul introduce? He brings up what God stated in Genesis three. He says, and it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived fell to transgression, but women will be preserved through the bearing of the children if they continue in faith and love and sanctify with self constraint. And so he's even dealing with the whole order of male and women and females. So Paul is not saying the reason why I'm saying this is only for you guys, because of what's happening. No, he gives the reason why. But then if we go, because Paul makes a statement later in 1st Timothy about choosing pastors, about choosing the overseas elders. And people are going to say, well, the word pastor is not in the Bible. Yes, it is. The word pastor is in the Bible. It's the word, which is the word for shepherd. And we see this term over and over again. Peter is told to by Jesus to shepherd the flock. Acts tells us to shepherd the flock of God. Peter says also about shepherding the flock and to love the shepherd that the flock, the guy gave you shepherd over them. These shepherds, these Episcopus, these overseers, they have authority over the people in terms of how they're governing that can make someone do anything. No, but clearly in the Bible, this term pastor or as it says in Ephesians, shepherd teacher. We see Paul also use this as he describes what their role is, pastor or shepherd, overseer. And so whatever the terminology you want to use, there is what Paul says or points out to us. There are qualifications. He says to Timothy in the same letter, chapter 3, giving the qualifications. He says, an overseer must then be above reproach the husband. Here's the word, Andra of one wife. Meas. Good night. That's one wife, one woman. And so therefore, this could not be a position that's open for a female. And then Paul goes on to say that he must manage his own household. Well, women don't do that. Not according to God's authority. It is the man that has the headship. Now, does that make the woman less? No, it does not. But it's still, this is what God has determined. And so Paul says this to Timothy. But people will say, well, because Timothy is in Ephesus, well, wait a second, he still gives the same Timothy who's in Ephesus. He still gives him instructions. And so that's a problem there. But then also just as great of a problem is we see these same qualifications given to Titus. Well, where is Titus? Well, first of all, Titus is not in the church of Corinth, where we have the first letter or one of the letters that are written, where people say that we have to keep this in context is for that context of that culture, that time for the women. So Corinth, that's just for Corinth. But then we also have the same thing for the church of Ephesus, though the letter of Ephesians doesn't speak so. But we've got Corinth, we can apply to us. We can apply what's written for Ephesus for us. But what about what's written to Titus? Where's Titus? Titus is in Crete. And so is Paul saying there's something happening in Crete? No. What does Paul say to Titus? He says, the same thing that I want you to appoint elders in every city. And look, he says above reproach, we see the exact same wording that we see in 1 Timothy, the husband of one wife. And it's Mias Guneicus Anir. So Mias, one Guneicus woman, Anir, man, husband. And so what's the point? Paul is clearly stating, whether he's writing to someone who happens to be in Corinth, whether he's writing to someone who happens to be in Ephesus, whether he's writing to someone who happens to be in Crete, the point is still the same. And notice what happens even as they are selecting men in the Bible or selecting leaders. So in Acts 6, they begin to select men to help with some of the low, some of the responsibilities to help out the apostles. And notice what he says. Therefore, chapter 20, I'm sorry, chapter 6, verse 3, therefore, brethren, select from among yourselves seven, look what the word is, men. And the word that's used here is not men in terms of Anthropos, all of mankind, but the word here is Andros, meaning a male. But it's not just here. But one time, since we've got this new dispensation, we've got the Holy Spirit is poured out and apparently people think that women and men are now equal in the eyes of God and everything, even in terms of function and office. Well, when they get the opportunity to choose someone, notice what the qualification is. In chapter one of Acts, verse 21, Peter says, therefore, it is necessary that the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us. So they're choosing a man and it's a man because the word here is Andra or a male. So you could not get past this. So every time that the Bible is picking someone in a certain role, Apostle, pastor, shepherd, elder, overseer, it is a male. And so it would be silly to say that this only applies in this context. This only applies in this culture. But you take everything else out of those books and apply it to your life. Why? You could not make those apply to your life if the other parts regarding women don't apply. So either you take the whole or you take none of it. We keep it in context, obviously. And the context is he's writing these letters for the benefit of the church. And all of these letters, as Peter says, these letters that are written are all scripture. They are they come with the weight and the authority of God because they are God breathed, breathed out by the Holy Spirit. And so can a woman be a pastor? No, not in any shape or fashion. If your church is adopting that, if you happen to be somewhere where they are, that's a church that is exceeding the text. And if you're going to exceed the text in that, just to satisfy the feelings of others, where else is that church also exceeding the text? Where else are they also compromising? So ladies and gentlemen, be aware if this is going on in your church, you might seriously consider, matter of fact, I think you should leave. Amen.


Hey everyone, welcome to figure fantasy. We're now here with Marie Rose's build and we're starting off with her Skills, okay, so starting off with her basic attack. It's going to be splashing straight So she's a valuable player apparently Again, she's militarist. She is going to need fast attack speed for you know, make sure that she you know Attacks or serves that wall very fast or spikes it by the way So boost the damage from basic attacks by 50% total if you have her at level 3 ready for her basic attack Next up is going to be Her ultimate so gains a system effect after every 11 basic attacks A unique move to deal ultimate damage to a single enemy boosts ultimate power by 10% for every 30 energies She has okay, so system is the unique move by Marie Rose will not be affected by silence Nor it will be deemed as an as an unleash of ultimate though It is subject to ultimate power Performing the unique move consumes all her energy, but the move will not be automatically performed when she has full Energy, so this one is sorry for that one It's going to deal additional damage Basically aside from her ultimate attack, so she her initial energy is zero and Zero as well here for regeneration rate So the unique move deals additional frost damage and frost damage is subject to basic attack power bonus Each time the basic attack is strict is targeted is inflicted It's an inflicted freeze the number of basic attacks required to perform your next unique move is reduced by one And has a cooldown of three seconds if you have it at level three, so She could be one of our OP Militarists and Depending on how big her damage really is is going to be dependent on how you're gonna be building her. So next is her passive so basic attack Has a 40% chance to deal additional frost damage to a target the frost Damage is subject to basic attack power bonus and is and so it's a triggering chance of her accuracy bonus So if you want to increase her passive, definitely you'll have to increase her accuracy bonus So level two when basic attack when the basic attack unleashes their ultimate the next basic attack will be a special one Which is guaranteed to trigger additional frost damage level three the special basic attack also freezes the target for one second And enhances her basic attack power by 50 for six seconds stacking up to three times. So Actually, there are two conflicting builds here either you're gonna build her using Focusing on her ultimate or for one is also for focusing on her basic attack The last four skills is Baka Baka Baka Boost damage by 15. There are no surrounding enemies So boost attack by 5% and crit chance by 10. That is just your basic. So that is her skill preview Moving on to her part. So What I'm suggesting for her guys is that you focus more on her attack speed Her what they call this her Ultimate is going Go back Her ultimate is going to be triggered by her attack speed anyway So after every 11 basic attack performance unique move to deal ultimate damage to a single enemy So it's going to be dependent on how fast she's going to be attacking and Definitely, you'll be going with a four-piece Quick attack set then the next one would be a critical set. So that is her primary build. I Don't see any more changes in this build This is probably the optimal build for her and also if you don't don't have her what they call this her Exclusive what they call this exclusive badge then go with eternal nightmare badge Because it also boosts attack speed by 10 and basic attacks up 21% to bounce off lightning off four times Each time dealing damage equal to 80% of attack. So let's try to take a look at The badges here and this is what I'm talking about so At this point, I'm not sure if you're gonna need this especially if You Want her attack speed to be fast this one boost damage by the way, so It's up to you whether you're going to be focusing on attack speed or boosting up your damage But this one, I don't think you'll be needing this for her parts Okay guys, so my final thoughts for her She's definitely going to be very very useful in a frost team together with her Star Destiny partner I think They would be both be a great addition to that team. So more or less if you are Still building your frost teams. They are good additions and they can be stand-alone's actually they don't need to be added to a frost team So as individuals they can shine as well So Marie Rose our collab for dead Dead or alive. So that is it guys put down your comments in the comment section if you have alternate builds for her Take care. Stay safe. Merry Christmas, and I'm out of here


I'm not going to present research findings. But instead, I will address a number of issues that are associated to the implementation of these zero deforestation commitments. And because they represent an emerging trend in the conservation of remaining forests in the world. So the issues that are going to be briefly discussed this morning are not supposed to be comprehensive either. They reflect the thinking of the governance portfolio actually at C4, which is investing time and resources now in the study of this issue. So this is very much a collective work. And that includes people such as Pablo Pacheco, Sofia Gnitch, Christopher Bidzinski, George Neveld, our research director, Steve, and myself. So the origins of this movement can be linked to the relative failure, or at least slow implementation of a number of policies and mechanisms and initiatives in the past. You can think about RADD. You can think about fleck deep processes, the establishment of protected areas, a number of certification standards, and others. The origins are also linked to the rise in agricultural commodities production as a major cause of deforestation in the tropics. And the origins can also be linked to a very high, actually an increased intensity of campaigns by NGO against major corporations in order to change the practices on the ground. So to make a long story short of an introduction, I would say that the private sector is now seen as the most effective target to reduce deforestation right away as companies make these decisions on the ground. And they are easy targets of campaigns that affect the image among consumers. And so this is a very specific characteristic for this movement. And as targeted companies include processors, traders, retailers, consumer goods manufacturers, beside producers, of course, these commitments are also commonly referred to as deforestation-free supply chains, because it's all about cleaning these supply chains. So there's been commitments now for a few years. You may remember Nestle, that was one of the first in 2010. But these commitments have clearly increased in intensity over the past two years. And it's important to also mention the New York Declaration on Forests that was signed in September 2014, last year. And it can be seen as more or less a breakthrough with the signatures of the major groups, but also governments and NGOs and other stakeholders. So according to this declaration, the objective is to cut natural forest loss in half by 2020 and to end it by 2030. And since that time, there's been literally an avalanche of commitments. So Indonesia that I'm going to study today has been at the forefront of this movement with two sectors primarily involved, opam and pulp and paper. These two sectors have been historically, traditionally involved, associated, I would say, to large scale deforestation to give way to the establishment of opam plantations or pulpwood plantations to supply the meals. These commitments have multiplied impressively recently, but still a number of issues have to be addressed to make sure that these commitments are sustainable, equitable, and I would say even effective, which is not demonstrated yet. So the scope of these commitments is important. And we observe clearly a tendency to move beyond zero deforestation. In order to include peatland management, but also conflicts with local populations. So it would be misleading to think of these commitments of this movement as only concerned by the sourcing of crops of fiber from deforestation free areas. Yet, as this remains actually the core of these commitments, it is also useful to note that zero gross deforestation is usually considered and applied as opposed to zero net or zero illegal deforestation. It means, in practice, that the compensation of forest conversion somewhere by deforestation elsewhere is usually not permitted as part of these commitments. The question of definitions is, of course, also central. Indeed, stopping deforestation implies to define what is a forest, which in turn requires to have the tools to identify these forests for conservation. There is a multitude of potential definitions of forests, depending on your perspectives. Could be biodiversity, could be density of tree cover, and so on and so forth. But for these commitments, two tools have been primarily used to identify what we call no-go areas that won't be converted. These two tools are high conservation value, HCV, and high carbon stock, HCS. So with regards HCV, it looks at the range of values in terms of biophysical, but also cultural aspects, along with environmental services, and also interactions between ecosystems. High carbon stock, HCS, on the other hand, looks more specifically at biomass per hectare. And it was more recently designed as part of the commitments and discussions around mitigation of climate change. So in that case, the measurement of biomass is used as a proxy for the condition of the forest cover. It is important also to note that these tools are evolving very rapidly, they are modified, they are refined, and the way forward seems to be actually a combination of both in order to be as comprehensive as possible in how you identify forests. So although the movement is based on the assumption that the private sector makes commitment for its own sourcing of crops and fiber, we see a future for greater involvement of the public sector, as corporate commitments in practice can hardly stand alone. We observe in Indonesia, unfortunately, that a number of companies have faced resistance by the government in the implementation of their commitments. In particular, problems were identified with open plantations, concessions, where the areas when the areas set aside based on HTV or HCS assessments were subsequently removed from the concession and reallocated to other companies for further conversion. It can also happen that when the completion of these assessments is too long that concession licenses are eventually withdrawn and reallocated to other companies as well. So for these reasons, it seems obvious that the movement, we have to move to what we call more hybrid forms of governance with the support of governments. For instance, in order to solve social conflicts with appropriate law enforcement and the identification of legitimate versus abusive claims to land, this cooperation between public and private could also translate into more jurisdictional approaches at the district or provincial level as was attempted by RADD as well. I would also mention initiatives such as the OneMap in Indonesia that are also welcome in order to avoid overlaps between permits issued by different bodies. In terms of issues, smallholders are also identified as key actors for the success of the movement on the ground and its sustainability. Indeed, the risks that pledgers occupy very large areas of land and that decisions to set aside forested areas while cultivating the rest lead to very restricted access to land by smallholders. In other words, occupation of land by the big groups. This risk is intensified in Indonesia and for the open sector because of the multitude of land claims associated to uncertain land tenure and because of smallholders actually represent an extraordinary dynamic sector with a great variety of actors with different characteristics. In addition, with an increasing share of the private companies committing to zero deforestation, there is a risk that smallholders suffer from restricted access to markets but also to processing units, which is something we label as market fragmentation. Therefore, they have to be involved in a way or another and the future efforts might have to focus on how to make smallholders eligible to these deforestation-free supply chains. Legacy, legacy is another key issue and can be understood as a fact that many committing companies have been involved in environmental destruction and abuse of people's rights in the past. So that they might have to go beyond these zero deforestation commitments in the future. They might have to go beyond simply stopping deforestation and violating the rights of people. So this, in practice, can translate in several ways, including the restitution of land to communities or into additional investments in forest restoration. We can actually already observe a number of efforts made by the main pulp and pepper groups to move to a landscape approach with concrete investments in the system of ecosystem restoration concessions in Indonesia. And these should probably be encouraged. So these are just some prominent issues that C4 is interested in for further examination. We're working here on living material and this is work in progress. We don't know exactly yet about the actual outcomes of this movement. So to summarize very briefly, we actually see great potential in the emergence of this movement for concrete. That's important and sizable action against deforestation in key countries like Indonesia, but it could be also Brazil. But there are also a range of risks, especially with respect to small holders and also the necessity to rely on the support by the governments to be truly effective and sustainable. So the way forward, one of the ways forward, might also be a consolidation of standards. There's been a proliferation of commitments and standards. And a united industry, government, and civil society front, as well as a more inclusive mechanism to ensure more growers can participate. And I will stop here. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Romain, for those comments and observations. So we've got some time now for questions and comments from colleagues. I'm sure they're Kristoff. Yeah. The last point, one of the last points you made about possible solutions to the United Front of private sector and the government, could you maybe just elaborate what do you have in mind exactly what kind of United Front? What would that be? Is it some kind of fora? Or what does this involve? What is this United Front? So, well, yeah, I think it can take different forms, actually. When I mentioned very briefly the possibility to have, for instance, jurisdictional approaches, that would be a way to actually have the private companies. But also the governments, also subnational, actually, authorities walking together in order to define some areas that would be free of deforestation. The problem is what we see now is that you have a multitude, you have a multiplication, actually, of these commitments that go in many different directions by all of these private companies. And even worse, I mean, these companies operate at different levels. They could be producers. But I mean, the innovation is that many of these companies are not producers. They are traders. They are retailers, which is actually a way to include more actors. So the problem is you have different definitions. You have different standards. You have different kinds of commitments, with different kinds of starting dates, methodologies to identify forests and everything. So that having something done as a jurisdiction level with the implication of the authorities might actually be the way forward and a way to give even more credibility and effectiveness to the movement in practice. So the government, in order to be involved in this movement, will have to show willingness to participate. And that might depend on the countries. But as we look at Indonesia today, it looks like the problem is you may have conflicting objectives, actually, between the government and these companies. The thing is these commitments actually go beyond the legal framework, the regulations. This is a point. And so there are potential conflicts between the laws and the objectives of the government in terms of development. And the strategies by the company, in order to save the reputation, in order to respond to these campaigns. So in order to deal with that and to solve these potential conflicts, I think that all of these actors have to actually sit together and work out solutions together. And that might be done at the jurisdictional level. It's a possibility. OK. Yeah. Other comments and questions? Fanda? Thank you so much for your presentation. I wonder, you said that the experience in Indonesia could be replicated in Brazil. But I understand Brazil. OK, I will clarify. And I wonder, because Brazil didn't sign the declaration in New York. And also, I would like to know what do you think about Brazil's position not to sign the declaration. OK. Yeah. So maybe that, I mean, I would like to involve some people in the audience as well. And Pablo, for instance, if you want to comment on that, because you are the one who knows most about the situation in Brazil. But in terms of replication, no, it's not what I mean. It's actually interesting to see major differences between countries in terms of what is done as part of the zero deforestation movement. When we look at Brazil, I mean, we see something that is more in line with the regulations. Actually, I mean, there's been a number of articles written about these commitments in the beef industry. And it looks like these commitments, labeled zero deforestation commitments, were in response by some action by the government, the federal government, or even states in order for these companies to comply with the regulations, and especially the environmental cadastre. So in Indonesia, it's completely different because the government is actually kind of unwilling to step into this process, as I understand. Because there might be these conflicting objectives. So it's interesting to see. I mean, we are very early in the process, and it's difficult to draw lessons and conclusions. But it looks like something that looks very simple on paper. The very rational of the zero deforestation movement and commitments can be applied in very contrasting ways, depending on the countries where it takes place. So I would not personally draw lessons from what happens in Indonesia for replication in other countries. That's what I could respond. Other questions? Dan? From my understanding, there are various NGOs working with the companies. There are other international organizations like ourselves who are also looking at zero deforestation. This is a relatively new thing. Who, amongst all these players, is sort of emerging as sort of a leader in this field? C4? No, I wouldn't say it's very difficult to say. And I have a very distorted view, I would say, and even maybe biased. But I think as far as Indonesia is concerned, I think it's important to look at Greenpeace, for instance, and the Forest Trust. These are two different kinds of actors. So Greenpeace is this NGO that everybody knows about. TFT, the Forest Trust, is more like a consulting or auditing firm. And so they play different roles. And they've been very influential, actually, in how some of these open companies have defined their own commitments, and especially how they have defined the tools that are going to enable them to identify the forests to be set aside, which is actually the point. If you have different kinds of methodologies, you may end up with different kinds of forests set aside. And so different outcomes from an environmental perspective. So I think Greenpeace and TFT in Indonesia, but in other countries, it might be completely different. In terms of research centers, actually what you see is a proliferation of initiatives with websites and everything that are supposed to keep track of all of these commitments. In order to keep track of the scope, to keep track of the implementation. So it seems to be a very competitive environment. And I personally don't see one main and prominent actor. It's more like a proliferation. It's like a proliferation of standards in order to reflect the views of all of these stakeholders. And before you agree on one good standard, it's kind of the same with all of these websites and organizations that try to keep track and monitor the implementation of these commitments. Who knows in the future who is going to be seen as a reference? Yeah? Can I just follow up question, Dan? Yeah, follow up. Would the private sector of the companies that are working in this space that have pledged their net deforestation, would they welcome one standard? Well, I'm not in the heads. I think that so far they might feel comfortable with their own standards for obvious reasons. It's kind of an open field. So you can make all of these statements about your policies, to avoid deforestation, to solve conflicts with people. And if you're able to, at the same time, define the games of the rule, then it's even better, right? You will play with your own rules. And so the implications of having one standard is actually that you don't decide of the games of the rule anymore. So I don't think that it is really in the interest of these companies to have one standard. But at the same time, I mean, this is very new. There is going to be more and more scrutiny by a number of actors, including ourselves. And so maybe that in the end, I mean, these companies will have no other choice than agreeing on one standard that will give more credibility. As well as I said before, that working with the governments might give more credibility to all of these commitments, having one standard might be the same. Otherwise, it's a jungle. And it's also a jungle, because many of these statements and policies are announced, but have not started yet. The starting date might be in 2016 or 2020. Especially in the open sector, because that's really jungle, because you have so many groups, so many companies, you have small holders and everything. In the pulp and pepper sector, it's kind of different. You have an oligopoly with two main groups, and they have actually already established the policies with different names, Sustainable Forest Management for April, and Forest Conservation Policy for APP. And that started already in early 2013. And they have actually already been evaluated, assessed, by independent assessors. In one case, Rainforest Alliance. In the other case, KPMG as an auditing firm. So in that case, I mean, for pulp and pepper, it's less of a jungle. It's really easier, but at the same time, they don't want to have their common policy. They don't want to have their common standards, because it's kind of a race. It's a race in terms of communication as well. So, but I don't know about the future. Maybe they won't have a choice. Can we take one more question? Pablo. Romain, you mentioned something, but I would like to ask you about if you can elaborate a bit more about the indirect effects of these commitments that can be indirect. Well, the direct effect seems to be obvious, but the indirect seems to be less obvious. Like, for example, leakage effects, segmentations of value changes in the capacity to compete of these different groups. So if you can elaborate a bit more on that. So, well, you named it. So leakage, for instance. So to make it clear, I think once again, because I think it's important to understand that potential loophole in this movement, it's about supply chains, and it's about all of these individual companies and everything, so that leakage is actually an obvious risk. You have a number of companies that commit, they make sure that they source the fiber or the crops from the first station-free areas, but it might actually, you know, displace, or it might displace a problem to other areas. So that's kind of obvious, but that's something that is quite similar with, I would say, with RADD, but at a different level. If you assume that RADD is applied at a country level, you might have leakage with displacement of activity in other countries. In the case of zero deforestation commitments, you might have leakage and displacement of activities just to other areas. And that's something that was illustrated by the examples of these opal plantations that undertaken these assessments and decided to set aside a number of areas. But then the licenses were withdrawn, or the set aside areas were just withdrawn from these concessions, removed from these concessions and relocated. So leakage is an obvious problem. At the same time, so if you look at pulp and paper, I mean, as almost all of the sector is involved, is included and actually has committed, leakage is less of a problem because it just controls the entire estate. In the case of opal, it's more worrying. It's a more tangible threat indeed. But that's the point of having actually commitments at the level of traders. I think that you have about, if I remember well, like in Indonesia, 96, I mean almost all of global trade of palm oil production in Indonesia is covered by these commitments. So actually what is not covered is just production for domestic consumption, for domestic markets. And this might represent about 20% to 30% of the production. So indeed, there is a risk of leakage for that. In terms of indirect impacts, you mentioned also indeed the question of smallholders. So we see there are several problems. There are problems associated to land claims. I am not sure, though, that this would be specific to these commitments. You have the problem of tenure in Indonesia is extremely prominent. And you have it with the expansion of productive activities, with the expansion of plantations. So I'm not sure that this is made even more problematic with these commitments. But the problem is that if you control these large areas, large concessions, and you set aside, let's say, 30%, 40%, even 50% of the land sometimes, as is the case for some of these pole pool plantations, then you have to produce in other areas, right, in order to supply your meals. You have your capacities. You just decide to not use the full potential of your land, of your concession. So you have to produce from elsewhere. It can actually be a risk, but it can also be an opportunity, depending on the sectors. In the case of all palm, I guess it would be a risk, because then you have to apply to other land to get permits and to develop your plantations. And then you end up with increased pressure towards smallholders that will have a restricted access to land. In the case of the pulp and pepper sector, I would almost actually see that as an opportunity, because you already have the systems in place. You already have the regulations in place for smallholders to get access to the forest estate in order to establish their own plantations, so that in the end, if the main groups want to increase the capacities, processing capacities, and need to access to other sources of fiber, then I have to rely, actually, on these smallholders that might benefit from support from the government, at least in terms of new rights to the land, usually use rights for 35 years, or even incentive sometimes. So it's not actually very clear, in terms of indirect impacts, whether these are going to be purely negative, but also represent sometimes opportunities. It's very early, and it's very difficult to conclude on that. So there's so much interest in what you're speaking to, Romain, that we're going to take at least two more questions. Bambika and then Peter. I just had a very simple question. So what are the incentives for the companies that comply? So the incentive is not to be blacklisted.  No, I mean, that's the point, right, of having these NGO campaigns. I mean, you can remember KitKat campaigns, very visible. You can remember that even Barbie was dumped by Ken, because the producer Mattel was accused of using natural forest to produce packaging products. So they're really everywhere. You can see these campaigns on television. You can see these campaigns on many media. And so they have to react in some ways. Otherwise, they might have reduced access to actually the markets. You as a consumer, me as a consumer might decide to go for different products. I would say it's kind of a theoretical risk. I'm not so sure myself, not so sure that studies have been made that actually demonstrate the impacts on consumers of having these campaigns. But at least what we can see is that the companies take it seriously enough to take action. And this seems to be a massive trend. This is to be a very heavy trend. So at least the companies make the assumption that they will lose market shares more or less if they don't react to these campaigns. Isn't it more concrete than that? And that many of the major consumer goods companies insist that the products that they buy have been produced sustainably and against certain standards. If you don't meet those standards, you can't sell on those markets. You can't sell all those companies. And we can come to Brazil at some point and talk about the soy moratorium where companies pledged in 2005 as a condition for getting access to European and American markets that their production of soy would not contribute to any additional deforestation. And research undertaken last year, nine years later, established that there was only a 1% increase in deforestation on land covered by the soy moratorium compared to a 35% increase in deforestation in areas where soy was produced under the supervision of the Brazil forest code. So it's that the market is imposing. It's just not reputational sort of campaigns. It's very specific requirements established by consuming companies. Home Depot in the US will not purchase any timber that hasn't been produced to FSC certification. So it's a government, what we call increasingly in governance portfolio. These are non-state forest governance arrangements. And they're really about the interaction between civil society, companies, and markets. I'm sorry to intervene at such length, but Peter. Thanks. Thanks, Roman. This is a really interesting new big topic for us and for many others. And I have a number of concerns just like you have and just wanted to point to a few of them. One is actually coming out also what Steve just said. What we're seeing is a tremendous new trend that at least in some of the rich markets, goods should be sustainably sourced. That's good. And that's what's behind the New York Declaration. Everybody was holding hand and thinking this was a good idea. Problem is that sustainably sourced has been equaled to no deforestation. Which means that as long as there is no deforestation, everything else is okay. That is a clear danger that we're approaching that kind of situation. And so one concern I think you are addressing is that the concept of zero deforestation is monopolized in the sustainability agenda in terms of land use, forestry, landscapes and so on. That's a big concern. The second concern I have is that we're talking about zero deforestation oil pump, for example. Does anyone know how much deforestation is caused by conversion to oil pump plantations today? I haven't seen any number of that. So I don't know what we're chasing. And considering that deforestation is going down quite rapidly in most places, I think even in Indonesia. I would, of course, have known those things had I been a CEO, signed in the New York Declaration that this is not a big deal. I mean, we can achieve zero deforestation and still get our products out there. So are we chasing a white elephant here? So on the first, actually, yeah. I mean, this is a criticism that was I think before addressed to RODD as well. And kind of a focus on deforestation, conservation, and leaving aside all of these pitlands and leaving aside Cerrado in Brazil and all of these other ecosystems that was important. Okay, so I will, yeah, yeah. You're right, but I will go back to that. And so that's a problem. And that's actually, as I understand it, Pablo might confirm or in film. That's why Brazil was not signatory actually to the New York Declaration last year. Because they didn't want their development agenda to be prevented by these zero deforestation commitments. They thought it's wiser actually to be able to do land use planning for development at the national level and then still keep the options to convert some pieces of forest into something else, because indeed. So I think maybe that's more or less your concern, but and then on the social side, on the pitland management side, I would actually emphasize that these commitments actually go beyond purely a pure conservation. And they have to deal with social conflicts. And as part of many of these commitments, companies have to undertake to apply the free and prior informed consent methods in order to make sure that people who live in the areas are aware of the development and agree to the objectives. So, and you also have these policies labeled no deforestation, no pit, no deforestation, no pit, no exploitation. And in that case, that involves labor rights and everything. So I wouldn't say really that these commitments are just about conservation. They might go beyond. And they might go beyond even more in the future because of the pressures by the NGOs. We had this first dialogue, the first dialogue recently in Rio and range of stakeholders, many, about 30 of them, NGOs, firms and everything. And social issues were really at the center, I would say, of these discussions. Sometimes even more than deforestation. Your second point was? The first is deforested, what are we chasing? Yeah, so no, I'm not sure that this is a ghost, that we're chasing or a white elephant. No, I think that all time is, as I understand, there's been studies about the development of oil palm in Indonesia and clearly it is a threat. As I understand, I don't have the figures, maybe Christoph has, but I think it's a real threat that is worth being addressed. And then you have the question of companies. Sorry, I have to clarify my question then because obviously expansion of oil palm has been in forest land. But looking forward, is anyone looking at this, how much are we talking about? You don't have the figures, who has the figures? No, no, I don't have figures, but what we see as part of our project, when interacting with local governments, as a district of provincial levels and the companies, I mean, a lot, I mean, actually most of the licenses, if not all of the licenses for agricultural development on the first estate for oil palm. And we have this project in East Kalimantan with these Mahaka Mulu District, where you have maybe 95% of forest cover. And all of the new licenses for agricultural development are allocated to oil palm companies. And people don't even ask a question, it's kind of obvious. There is some sort of craziness about it. And I think it's not going to stop. This is really maybe the major sector to address as long as the first station is concerned. Pulp and paper, maybe we don't have time now to elaborate, but pulp and paper is, it's also understand just very briefly. Because I say that the two prominent sectors were oil palm and pulp and paper in Indonesia. They are completely different. They pose completely different challenges that can be addressed in different ways. Oil palm is actually, I would say, the major threat now. Pulp and paper has really tried to engage in a change of the practices. And the current capacities can actually be supplied more or less by existing plantations. So that the threat to natural forests is kind of limited with current conditions. And they also have more flexibility in terms of how they apply these commitments because they are subject to these forestry laws. Which is not the case of the oil palm sector. Which is subject to different kinds of laws. Which explains why the government, there is this neglected lands act that was issued in 2010. And that's actually the legal basis for the government to remove part of these concessions that are set aside in oil palm concessions. That doesn't exist for pulpwood plantations. They have a requirement to develop up to 70% of the concessions for the plantations. And in many cases, they develop only 40, 50% of the concession. And nobody, no questions asked. Nobody complains at the government level about that. And another reason why it happens is that contrary to what many people think, there is a lack of investments in the pulp and paper sector in Indonesia, especially in the timber plantations. And the government is actually struggling to have its own development objectives being achieved. We have about 10 million hectares of industrial timber plantation concessions in Indonesia and maybe three million hectares developed. And the government is just unable to change that. And so they are actually craving for investments. And so they have to be more flexible in how these companies operate and apply the zero deforestation commitments. Which is not the case for oil palm. Oil palm is just, you know, anybody wants to invest in, maybe you want to invest in oil palm, Steve. Okay, well let's thank Romain for this very interesting discussion. Thank you.


What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video today? I am back with a nether mystery pack now I've purchased from this seller before and this seller does give away a lot of great things No base cards all inserts get a lot of great autographs Jersey cards number cards from him So I'm gonna continue purchasing from him in the future So I purchased two packs from him this time one I requested to be a mix pack the other one all Philadelphia flyers So I'm very excited to see what I'm gonna receive today.

Peace


In your session, here is Scarlett Moore presenting over a million reasons why snaps are important. Take it away. So, I'm Scarlett Moore. You don't know me. I have revived the snaps in KDE and I'm here to tell you why they're so important in the Linux packaging ecosystem. I have been working on their snaps since their inception many years ago and then I had a bit of a hiatus life and all. And then, so now I'm back. I've been working on upstream snap craft. We have our own extension tooling and automation and of course the snaps themselves. I also maintain our content pack, which is our frameworks with QT. Right now we only support five, but I'm working on six. What we do at a conference long ago, I saw this talk about this cool new technology and it was called Snaps or Snappy at the time. After the talk, I walked up to the speaker and asked if he would be interested in me snapping KDE. And his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and he was very excited. So, I got started and back then of course the process was very long, tedious and 10 mile long snap craft YAML files. We have come a long way since then with snap D and snap craft. We now have interfaces and plugs for most of it and just piece it all together to which parts we need. And it's mostly a process of updating dependencies and so the workflow is you update said dependencies and decide which parts that you need. And then you push and then the CI does everything else for you. It sends it off into the interwebs and builds and builds it. And if it's successful, it will publish it to the store for you and then you have to test it. Always got to test it. You don't want to give the users a very broken application.  We also, I have made a template for new applications that have not had their snaps done yet, but I'm working on making sure that that's not an issue anymore. But yes, that's available. And so here's why snaps are so very important. We have over a million users, active users across all of our applications and content packs. Our applications are very popular amongst snap users. Our heavy hitters, of course, are Krita and Ocular and Katie and Live are very close second. Don't get comfortable in those top seats. You have a lot more applications coming up in popularity. As mentioned before, we maintain a content pack which is all QT libraries and our frameworks and it is used by many other developers for their applications as well. It's not just KDE, there are other applications out there utilizing our SDK and content pack. We also have a KDE Neon extension in Snapcraft itself which is the building tool that builds the snaps. It is also very popular out there and so I maintain that and make sure that the users of that are happy. Our team is mostly me, Jonathan and Carlos is coming in new. And you, all of you that have already submitted merge requests, thank you. I appreciate that. It's very useful and helpful. KDE, as mentioned before, is very popular among the snap users. And as I started out with about 75 that I revived that were in very sad state of affairs. And they are now all nice and shiny, new, updated, newest. And I have now added, so we are at 153, I think, total apps right now. And that number is still rising. And I'm not at all in line with my slides, sorry. So essentially we have deep roots in the Snap ecosystem. Again, we have the content pack, we have our own extension in Snapcraft. Our applications are very popular and we are a very important publisher in the Snap ecosystem. That's because we have awesome everything. It's been a long journey and there's more to come. I already said all this, I'm sorry. So with that said, I have Boff in room two on Tuesday. Anybody that's interested in learning how to maintain your snaps if you know that there's a new dependency coming up, you want to do a merge request and all that, come talk to me.


Okay so a bunch of new things has happened, I guess, I mean things are always happening. This is one of my new merch pieces on my TeeSpring store. It is designed by Tyrik, my moderator on my discord, and it says that is a weird name. It's a face mask, very fashionable right now. You didn't see that. I had to wash my tablecloth again because my bird had plenty of oopsies on it. In other news, my trusted YouTube notebook, it is filled like all the way. I've now changed over to this book. Here are my notes for this video, you know, and I made terrible notes for this video. It says awesome, played lately. So the first game in my notes is obviously Story of Seasons, pioneers of Olive Town. Now that the game is out, I am hoping that a lot of you guys are enjoying it, or simply enjoy it as much as I do. I still play it. I'm now above 50 hours of play time in the game and I'm currently saving up to what I think is the last house upgrade and it costs 1 million. And I have started customizing all the way to the back of my farm, to the inner part of my farm, let's say, with pathways and I'm going crazy in the game. I'm just enjoying my time in the game and I'm bad gaming it a lot, like obviously. I know it is struggling in performance and it still is and that is what a lot of you are saying also. The more things you put down on your farm, the more the game is gonna struggle, you know, late game with frame drops and stuff. I'm really hoping that they will punch that out and I will get the DLC areas when they arrive. But it is kind of weird that you had to go that way. I mean pay for the DLC areas when it should have been in the game from the get go. Oh and another thing is that I have that game digital and people on my discord are asking me if I'm gonna get the premium box which is really cute with like a plushie and a poster and stuff. It's kind of cute, yeah I gotta say that, but no I think I'm just gonna stick with digital because something has happened with me the past, especially the past two years I feel like since I started getting review codes because of my channel I have naturally grown towards having digital games and not physical. I mean I never get review codes from Nintendo. So all Nintendo games I gotta buy and then I buy it physical I mean. But like games like the entire Atelier series on the Switch and Story of Seasons, both of them actually. I decide to buy them digital on my Switch. I just find that so much more convenient. So this video is sponsored by Lexar, a wonderful company. They make SD cards for everyone that needs some digital storage of some sort. Like for example this SD card. It is just wonderful to have a big SD cards for your Switch and even for your phone and also for your cameras. I mean I have several cameras because I work with video. I shoot video for people. I'm a freelance videographer. But most importantly I have gotten into for the past years definitely into digital gaming and I now have huge SD cards in both of my switches. My regular switch and my switch light. And these Lexar cards they are good. They are reliable. They are really fast when transferring stuff like transferring huge YouTube video files and like booting up the games. No problem. I highly recommend getting huge SD cards for my Switch and I have said this before. And guys we have entered the digital era of video games. So SD cards they are the future. I mean we have already gotten to the point where there are digital only home consoles. And I know a lot of you like to have a bunch of games in physical. I still kind of do. But not for everything. I don't need every single game to be physical because I'm sort of and I like to believe that I am a minimalist and I don't want to own too much stuff in general in my life sort of thing. So a bunch of games I feel like I can have digital that I gotta have the storage space to have all of them stored in my switch. And what I love the most about digital games is that I don't have to change out any cartridges.  I jump from one game to another. I mean I can play story of seasons and suddenly I feel like playing Trials of Mana which is a game that I recently picked up also. But the thing is I don't have to change any cartridges. So I find that super convenient. I recommend getting one of the bigger SD cards to fit a bunch of games.  But I remember I started out with a 32 gigabyte like in 2017. So it's okay to start out with. I mean that is a start. But the bigger the better. Now link to Lexar's SD card and use my link. My link is the magic link and get yourself some Lexar SD cards. Highly recommend. Now speaking of Trials of Mana it is actually in my notes. In the terrible notes that I have for this video. I like the game and I know it is old. It is by no means a new game. It has been out for years. Probably two years. I don't know last year. But Trials of Mana is a remake of an older game. That is a weird name. Seiken Densetsu. Oh my god. Seiken Densetsu. That is a weird name. Trials of Mana. What I can say about the game so far I am like I don't know. I'm less than 10 hours into the game. But I have enjoyed all my time so far. I can feel that it is a remake in a lot of ways. It's like a bit simpler than what we are used to in this modern day and age of gaming in this sort of genre. But I like it. I like the simplicity and it is sort of linear and the combat is what I find to be the most enjoyable and the graphics. Like and also the music. Jesus. The music is like actually good way ahead of its time for a game. But it's this old actually really good original soundtrack as well as the remastered music. I mean I am all over the place now with explaining this game. But okay let's start with the combat. It is so simple. Easy. And it's sort of like hack and slashy. And it doesn't need to be too complicated. I just enjoy whacking things. You know shooting down a few spells. I just enjoy the combat. It is like fun. Actual fun. The graphics are also so enjoyable in itself. The colors are crazy in this game. The saturation is set up to max. I'm so drawn to colors in games. Don't know what that is. But it's just the thing that I feel. It's like I'm gonna play Trials of Mana after I'm done doing a few videos. I'm doing a collab video also today. Stay tuned for that. But yeah I'm gonna play Trials of Mana today. Just enjoyable. I mean look out for that game. It was recently on sale. That's why I picked it up.  With me it's always like it was on my wishlist and it was on sale. Every single game ever. And yeah I buy all my games digital except Nintendo games like I mentioned earlier. So yeah check out Trials of Mana. But you have probably already. I'm just the last person on the earth to play that game. Well that was all for this video. I have so many other games that I have played lately. But I'm gonna space it more out in several videos so that I may actually upload a new video more often. Guilty of not uploading to many videos too often. Not often at all actually. Anyways. Now thank you so much for watching. Join my discord. Follow my twitter and instagram. Like and subscribe. Play games. Have fun. And I will see you later.


Meanwhile, the Department of Infrastructure continues to caution minibus operators to utilize the lay-by along the Millennium Highway for the boarding and disembarking of commuters and not the Kaldisak Millennium Highway intersection. Commuters are likewise cautioned to await buses on the lay-by. Despite previous warnings, minibus operators have continued to stop near the intersection, and in one instance, a motor vehicular accident involving a minibus occurred on Monday, November 1. The Ministry of Infrastructure is working closely with law enforcement to ensure adherence to the relevant signage.


Hello and welcome to this session. In this session, we discussed the following question which says if matrix A is equal to 1, 2, 3, which are the elements in one row of the matrix A, write A A dash, where A dash is the transpose of matrix A. Now we know if we have a matrix A equal to A ij, that is the elements are A ij of order m by n, then its transpose is given by A dash which is equal to the matrix with elements A ji of order n by n. That is the transpose of the matrix is obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of the given matrix. This is the key idea that we use for this question. Let's proceed with the solution now. We are given a matrix A equal to 1, 2, 3, elements in the row of the matrix A. This matrix A has one row and three columns and the elements of the row are 1, 2 and 3. Now let's find out A dash that is the transpose of the matrix A which is obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of the given matrix A and so this would be equal to 1, 2 and 3 in a column. So this is the transpose of the given matrix A. Now A A dash is equal to the matrix A with elements 1, 2 and 3 in a row multiplied by A dash which is the matrix 1, 2, 3 that is its elements are 1, 2, 3 in a column. Thus we have A A dash is equal to the matrix with element 1 multiplied by 1 plus 2 multiplied by 2 plus 3 multiplied by 3 and so this is equal to the matrix with element 1 plus 4 plus 9 which is equal to 14. So we have A A dash is equal to matrix with element 14. So this is our final answer. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.


The system's theory is the Interdisciplinary Study of Systems. The system is a cohesive conglomeration of interrelated and interdependent parts that is either natural or man-made. Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose or nature and express in its functioning. In terms of its effects, the system can be more than the sum of its parts if it expresses synergy or emergent behavior. Changing one part of the system usually affects other parts and the whole system, with predictable patterns of behavior. For systems that are self-learning and self-adapting, the positive growth and adaptation depend upon how well the system is adjusted with its environment. Some systems function mainly to support other systems by aiding in the maintenance of the other system to prevent failure. The goal of systems theory is systematically discovering the system's dynamics, constraints, conditions and elucidating principles purpose, measure, methods, tools, etc. that can be discerned and applied to systems that have level of nesting, and in every field for achieving optimized equiptionality. General systems theory is about broadly applicable concepts and principles, as opposed to concepts and principles applicable to one domain of knowledge. It distinguishes dynamic or active systems from static or passive systems. Active systems are activity structures or components that interact in behaviors and processes. Active systems are structures and components that are being processed. E.g. a program is passive when it is a disk file and active when it runs in memory. The field is related to systems think and hand systems engineering.
