Now, I'm happy to give the floor to Philippe Baptiste, who has been now, as I said, the boss of the Kness for about six, eight months. And so during those six, eight months, I remember our first conversation, you had already some quite precise ideas, but I am sure that you have learned a lot in those months. So how do you answer today my simple question? Thank you very much, first of all, I would like to say that I am going to re-formulate your question. Finally, your question is why is there so much crowd around Mars this year? Because if we look closely, the mayor of Paris, he does not like cars, but maybe she likes rockets. I will stay on Mars. But of course, there is the sound of the Aup, of the Emirates, which is a very, very beautiful success. But there is also the Chinese sound, which happened a few days later. There is perseverance, of course, the American rover, on which I must say that we are very, very proud to have taken the camera, the head of perseverance. And then there are still many other missions that are going to happen. It could have been Mars, but we could have also said, why is the traffic in low orbit in the space double every two years? Or why are most of the agencies of supervision are telling us that in a few years, in about 15 years, we will have something like 3,000 or 4,000 billion dollars per year of business around the space. No. What is happening today around the space? So I think there are ... why do people go into space today? I would like to say the first challenge that remains a challenge, which is a challenge that has been there for a very long time. It is about sovereignty, about defense, and also about simply showing the technological capacities of a country, of power challenges, in fact, of the whole nation. It was very true at the time of the Cold War between the Russians and the Americans. And it seems quite clear that today this great rivalry is redone with new actors, but still remaining on the same foundations. That's the first reason. The second reason that seems extremely important to me, perhaps that we see less directly, is today the issues around the climate. You know that today, if we do not have the space, we are not able to understand and measure the evolution of the climate. More than half of the old indicators that allow us to follow the climatic indicators and understand that it is the health of our planet, come directly from satellite observations. And so that's still a challenge, which is also a major challenge. The truth is that it's not that that explains the explosion of a number of missions, etc. But it's still a major challenge, and I wanted to call it that. And then the last challenge, which is a challenge that is really new, it's a new challenge that takes a considerable amount of time. It's the issues around technological scientific innovation, but above all, the issues of business that are going on behind, with all the costs of the economy, which are being stormed by the space sector, and economic issues that are absolutely colossal behind it. And that's what makes us a whole group of factors that need to attract activity for the nations towards the space. But we have to try to understand, despite everything, what happened, why did we fall into this new world where attractivity is much stronger? As often, reasons are still technological order reasons. And what we see is that we had a multiplicity of great developments in the sector, the arrival of digital with methods of development. So not only the digital to model, to reduce the time of development to go faster, but also of the 3D printing and also of the low-cost techniques that come not only from digital actors, but also from the world of the traditional industrial world, and all of that, the miniaturization of the components, and all of that, what did it do? It really lowered the costs in the space world, not in all sectors, but in a certain number of key sectors in the space world, and by lowering the costs, you will actually fall barriers of entry that must first block the access of a certain number of countries or a certain number of economic actors to enter the space field. Today, you are a private company, you can enter the great space competition by launching a few nanosatellites for a few million euros, maybe a few hundred thousand euros tomorrow, where the costs have dropped considerably. So, I say that, and just to make the balance immediately with this great enthusiasm, let's not forget that today, at the moment, I would say approximately 90% of the space loans are public loans. We all talk about a lot of specifics, of course, which is an actor who is passionate, who is extraordinary, who has benefited from subsidies and contracts from the American government, who are absolutely considerable, from tens or billions of dollars during the last few years. So, it's both a business that is taking off and taking a considerable amount and which is still very large today, obviously on public finances. So, it still allows us to see something that is still very interesting. We saw a very bipolar world at the beginning, with Russia and the Americans. Europe is a place, not in all sectors. For example, we have never looked at the volubility, but on the launchers, we have been very present. The first private actor in fact, on the launchers world with the Marian program. And then, of course, our champions in the satellite world, Airbus and Thales are still two absolutely extraordinary actors, absolutely extraordinary European actors in the sector and who are the best in a number of satellite technologies. And then, Europe has taken its place. And then, we see that, progressively, China has entered the game. One of them has become a major actor.  Israel is also a program that is quite interesting. Of course, the Emirates. But also, we see many other actors who are entering. And so, we clearly enter a world which is both multipolar, with a lot of emerging actors. At the same time, despite everything, access to the launchers, which is still a decisive element of sovereignty for a certain number of states. And so, it's still a key angel. I think that Europe is very, very attached to having a launchers program, which is a launchers program that guarantees access to space. I'll come back to it in a few moments after the launchers' questions. But, there you go. And with still poles that are drawn. And then, a competition that is going up in power at an absolutely incredible speed between the United States and then the other, China. With, behind, Europe and Russia which support the different programs directly or indirectly. This competition is organized a lot around the moon and Mars. My personal naivety is to regret that somewhere to go to Mars, maybe we could think about going all together. I will keep this naivety in its corner. But I always think of the example of CERN that I quote abundantly. It's the CERN, it's this big center that allows you to work, we discovered the X-axis, that allows you to work on the very high energy physics. And it's a center that is really... Its motto, its motto, is peace by science. It's the fact of being able to put... I'm not saying I don't want to sin by naivety. I can clearly see the distance that it can have in the space world. And finally, this example is touching and still deserves to be recalled. The last point that I wanted to mention is the Europe in all this. What are we doing today and what do we want to become tomorrow in this world of space, which is a multi-purpose world? First of all, we deeply believe in the importance of space for all the reasons I mentioned. Access to space, the questions of defence, the questions of sovereignty, the questions of observation of the Earth and climate, the scientific questions that are absolutely key. Europe is a great country of science and we will continue to have very ambitious programs on a certain number of sounds or instruments that allow us to understand the universe or the physical framework. And then also a program of the launcher which is particularly important. We have today a launcher which is a range of the launcher between Vega and Ariane, Ariane 5 which is soon Ariane 6 in a few months. So in 2022, we have our first launch of Ariane 6 which is a launcher that will allow us to put the France and Europe in the world competition of launches with, I hope, I wish, always touch wood when we talk about the world of launchers because a launcher is still a very, very complicated instrument that works at the border of the laws of physics. We are never at the brink, so the first launches that will arrive soon and then Ariane 6 will benefit, of course, from the experience of the Ariane program in terms of robustness and reliability and then with groups that are much lower than Ariane 5 and who will, and I think it's important to say it, who will be in the market. Of course, we have a great competition with SpaceX who continues and who organizes. And of course, we will continue to invest. We will work on technological breaks that we don't have today and that absolutely need to be developed, to be reusable. This is something we are going to work on. Next to that, we are also going to work a lot. We have already done a lot. The CNES has really been a engine for that. Not only by working with our big prime, as I mentioned before, but also by working on the new actors on the new space, on all these young companies who are about to be born at the border between digital digital and space. And so it's the ability to develop small satellite constellations that will be able to observe the Earth, that will be able to make IoT, to make telecoms, for very, very low costs. And that's really a major challenge for all our countries because it's directly useful for the citizens, whether it's in your GPS to guide you or for tomorrow to know when you will have to set up your field or to be able to monitor your fishing activities when you are a fisherman. All these activities, all these satellite data, they are absolutely good. So I think we are at a kind of border where the world is shifting towards, where the world of space is moving, not completely shifting, because the truth is that we will continue when we do science. It will always be a very classic role, I believe. But in any case, on many, many other sectors, we are shifting into a world where the company will really have a major role and a motor role, and where the States will rather pass commands rather realized as they did previously. That's the first point. A world that is still, despite everything, a world that opens up and with several actors, with many actors around the table of space, and where you will have to build alliances. And of course, France has always been very open, precisely, to this type of alliance and to work with, with partners that are numerous and sometimes very diverse. So it's a passionate world that is still opening up to us and we really change it. So thank you very much. So we can switch back a little bit to English. Sure. But I would like to ask you another very simple, I like simple questions, you know. So a number of times you mentioned European space policy or politics. Can we, so can we really speak of a European space policy? Well, at least there is a European ambition on space. That's very true. There is also a set of regulations on how you build space programs, how you make them real. And space policy, yes, I think there is a true ambition from the European Commission today. And especially, Commissaire Breton is really deeply involved into this policy. He believes that... He is French. Sorry? He is French. I think so, yes, yeah, he's French. But I think it's... But in France and Germany, are we exactly along the same lines? Well, depending on the topics, it's very true that, well, Germany is very ambitious on space. It's true, I think that it's public. They are very ambitious on space. So there is a kind of course of internal competition within Europe. This has always been the case between Italy, Germany and France. And it has to be for the very good of Europe. I really think that there is room for that. I think that we don't have to compete on very, very expensive programs like heavy launchers. It does not mean that it don't have to be competitive, but I think that we have to organize competition because they are very, very costly. So let's not be crazy and let's not compete directly in between our European nations. But for instance, on smaller launchers or on several different kind of technology for satellites, competition is already there. It's strong and it's for the best. Because I mean, so typically having this kind of competition is good for our traditional industry.

The president's budget proposal eliminates public media funding. Learn how you can help at lptv.org slash action. Well with the recent warm weather we're experiencing conditions are just right for wildfires. How Josh Peterson spoke with firefighters about what everyone can do to keep safe this season. With almost all of the snow gone, firefighters are preparing for another busy season of wildfires. Even though there's still some moisture left in the ground, warm dry conditions can dry out the landscape quickly, meaning it could take very little to ignite a large-scale fire. We have pretty typical spring conditions right now, at least over the last couple of years. It's going to be dry. Spring is a little bit early, snow cover's gone, so you know we expect a fire season much like last year. Large areas like this field filled with tall dead grasses can be a key fuel source for a wildfire. That is why experts say it's best to take precautions and follow the rules.  Take a shovel or a rake, stir it around, put water on it, feel it with your hand and make sure it's out cold. Last year the area saw 96 wildfires, which is considered by the Minnesota DNR to be slightly below average. With warm dry conditions expected, burning restrictions are planned to be put in place in the near future.  While some wildfires are caused by Mother Nature, the vast majority are caused by human actions. Most 99 percent of the fires in Minnesota are caused by human, either on purpose, on accident. Very few are caused by lightning in the state. If you choose to burn after restrictions are put in place and a wildfire ignites, the person who did the burning could be held responsible for all the expenses in putting out the fire. If you're burning outside of permitting, without a permit, you're burning illegal materials, all those types of things, then, you know, more than likely you'll be held liable for the cost. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. Burning permits are currently available for the Lakeland viewing area.  No permits are required for recreational fire pits.


Good morning and welcome to the 20th meeting of 2015. I hope everyone had a good summer break. Everyone present is asked to switch off mobile phones and other electronic equipment as they affect the broadcasting system. Some committee members may consult tablets during the meeting because we provide meeting papers in digital format. We have apologies today from Alec Rowley MSP. Our first agenda item is to consider whether to hold agenda items 3 and 4 in private. Those relate to the committee's approach to its inquiry into arm's length external organisations and the footway parking and double parking Scotland bill. Our members content to consider agenda items 3 and 4 in private. Thank you very much. Agenda item 2 is to consider two negative statutory instruments. They are the Town and Country Planning, Miscellaneous Amendment Scotland Regulations 2015, SSI 2015-249 and the Town and Country Planning Hazardous Substances Inquiry Session Procedure, Scotland Amendment Rules 2015, SSI 2015-250. Members will see from the clerk's note that these are both technical amending instruments that seek to, in effect, idea up some minor drafting errors in existing instruments. Neither of them introduce new policy nor will lead to new costs. Members will note that the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee had no comment to make in relation to the first instrument. It considered the second instrument, SSI 2015-250, at its meeting yesterday, and it agreed that it had no comments to make in relation to this instrument. Is the committee content to agree that it has no recommendations to make to Parliament in relation to these instruments? As agreed at the outset of the meeting, we will now move into private session. Can I ask members of the public to leave the meeting? I suspend and we move into private session.


Is a mechatronics engineering major or a mechatronics engineering degree worth it? That's where we're going to be going over today and this was a highly requested topic. This seems to be a really hot relatively new degree and first thing we're going to do is we're going to define exactly what it is. So basically this one is going to be a combination of several different engineering specialties. So it's kind of going to be like a mechanical engineering degree mixed with electrical computer engineering and even a little bit of software. So you're basically going to be able to design really awesome robots like Michael Reeves. Well not exactly. It's sort of like that but most of the time it's going to be used for the purposes of automating processes. You're usually going to be creating operating testing and maintaining different machines that you create for the purpose of automation specifically in the manufacturing industry. Now this is definitely one of the more hands-on types of engineering. A lot of the time they're almost considered to be technicians and engineers at the same time and this one is growing. In fact it's actually bigger in other countries than it is in the United States. It's just starting to you know pick up popularity here in the US. But at this point there's only a few hundred people graduating with a degree every year. Now we're going to go ahead and talk about four different important categories with this one and the first one is going to be earning potential or salary. With this degree you would expect to make around $70,000 a year starting out and $122,000 in mid-career pay. And that's really good especially if you compare it to the highest paying degree and one of the lowest paying degrees you'll see that it's on the better side of things. Now mechatronics engineering like I said is pretty new and so you're not going to find any data on BLS when it comes to this specific career. However one that's really close to this would be an electrical or an electronics engineer and they make around $101,000 a year or $48 an hour. Now some careers that are similar to mechatronics at the associates level as well as the bachelor's level are going to be listed on the screen right now. These are some of the ones that you might want to look into if you're interested in this. Now one thing I always like to point out is engineering at least historically up to this point has been the best paying type of degree meaning over a lifetime you're going to make around $3.5 million with an engineering degree whereas all other types of degrees are around $2.4 million. And like you saw although there's not very much data this one is definitely pretty high paying and I think it has a lot of potential especially in the near future. Automation is coming whether we like it or not processes are going to be streamlined and this is one of those careers that specializes in that. And it's also just really cool overall I mean just being able to program robots and figuring out the interface between the electronics, the mechanics part as well as the software part that is just awesome. So overall I'm going to give this one a score of 9.5 out of 10. Next we're going to be talking about satisfaction and this is a very subjective section it could be completely different depending on the person and the situation. However according to pay scale mechatronics has a meaning score of 47 percent meaning 47 percent of people think that this degree and the careers that it leads to significantly positively impact the world. Now you can compare that to one that has a very high and a very low meaning score and you'll see that it's kind of on the lower side of things maybe average at best and you can sort of see this with a lot of degrees that involve automation and all that sort of thing because you're not necessarily helping all that many people you're kind of just automating a process. That doesn't mean that it's not very useful and the one that I found that was closest to that in terms of a career would be an electromechanical technician and they have about a 56 percent meaning score so a little bit better and when you look at the job satisfaction it's around 72 percent so that's definitely higher than average if you look at one that's really good like clergy or one that's not so good like parking lot attendant. Now another thing I like to mention is engineering degrees in general tend to not be regretted very often so they're actually the third least regretted type of degree. Only about 15 percent of people who major in engineering regret it and the main reason is because some of the best jobs require advanced level degrees. Now again I just want to say this is a very subjective section it could be different depending on where you live the people you work with your job your boss the career path that you decide to go down the industry that you're in there's so many different things that can affect job satisfaction and meaning so take this section with a grain of salt honestly for one person it could be one out of ten for another person it could be ten out of ten but overall I'm going to give this one a score of nine out of ten I think I'm a little bit biased here but this one just sounds awesome I mean being able to program robots sounds extremely useful and also just awesome and I have a little project planned on this channel that is sort of going to be integrating this so stay tuned for that and it was inspired by Michael Reeves and some of those other guys who create these awesome robots on YouTube. What an interesting and thought provoking idea! Anyways next section is going to be demand and this is really tough for me to score just because it's such a new degree and career so you see here that electromechanical technicians uh there's around 14,600 of them and they're growing at 3% which is about as fast as average if you look at electrical and electronics engineers it's kind of the same thing 328,000 jobs and it's growing at 3% which is average and then of course mechatronics engineering itself is not going to be on BLS because it's just such a new career that they haven't updated on there yet but when you type in mechatronics engineering degree on monster.com around 482 jobs pop up which is not good either you can compare that to a degree that is known to have high demand and one that's known to have low demand and it's actually below the lower one if you look at glassdoor.com it's kind of the same thing only about 22 mechatronics engineering degree jobs pop up so not great however when they survey big companies and ask them what type of college graduates are they looking to hire at the bachelor's level almost always number one is either engineering or business and so in this case for instance the survey that i'm looking at here engineering was number one businesses are constantly looking to hire people with engineering skills and a lot of the time even if they're not specifically looking for say a mechatronics engineer if they see that you graduated with that degree they're much more likely to hire you now there's many reasons for this it's because engineering degrees are pretty well respected and then also they know that people who graduate with engineering degrees tend to be really smart and hardworking and a lot of the time businesses have the hiring philosophy that they are just going to hire the smartest possible people so they're going to hire smart people and then they're going to train them to do the job later on however i have to be fair the data does not look good here even though the reason for that is probably because it's just such a new degree and career nobody really knows what's going to happen in the future i'm very bullish on this career in this degree i think it's going to get bigger and bigger in the future but i can't say that for sure another thing is that degrees that aren't recognized like mechatronics engineering sometimes it takes some time for people who are hiring managers and business owners to get used to that degree so for instance a hiring manager business owner might have hired 10 mechanical engineers before and so when they see mechatronics engineering it's sort of an unknown and so instead of just taking a chance and trying to figure you know out whether mechatronics engineers are good they're probably just going to hire another mechanical engineer it's almost like having real estate within business owners and hiring managers brain and so in many cases depending on what career you're going for it might be a safe bet for you to just get a mechanical or electrical engineering degree instead so overall when it comes to demand i'm going to give this one a seven out of ten but again ten years from now maybe it'll be a nine out of ten or maybe it'll be a five out of ten who knows next we're going to be talking about x factors which is anything that's important that i didn't go over in the other sections so i mentioned before that engineering degrees over a lifetime make more than any other type of degree at least up to this point around 3.5 million versus 2.4 but another thing that i like to point out is engineering degrees make really good money all across the board no matter what career path they end up going down even totally unrelated career paths like art and legal services engineering degrees are making over three million dollars over a lifetime which is much higher than the average of 2.3 and 1.8 now there's a lot of speculation about what the reason for this is you know maybe engineering degree graduates are just really smart and they would have made a lot of money no matter what they did even if they dropped out of high school or maybe it has a little bit to do with the practical problem solving skills that you learn as an engineer who really knows nobody really knows i think it has a little bit to do with both now when it comes to skills of course mechatronics engineering isn't going to be listed here on zip recruiter but something that was pretty similar would be electromechanics and that ranked 58 out of 100 and if you compare that to the highest rank skill of software engineering and the lowest rank skill of i believe a sewing industrial sewing you'll see that it's kind of in the middle or maybe even higher side of things but again this might not be a fair comparison because electromechanics is not the same thing as mechatronics and i'd say mechatronics is likely going to rank higher when they finally do get it on the skill index now when it comes to the likelihood that something will be automated mechanical engineers for instance have a 1.1 chance of being automated so i would assume that mechatronics is probably going to be the one doing the automating not being automated itself and when it comes to outsourcing i don't think this is a career that you're going to have to worry too much about being outsourced because you're going to have to be there using your hands in person speaking with people you know using your communication skills leadership skills are probably going to come in handy as well so i highly doubt that this one would be outsourced because of the combination of you know practical hard skills as well as soft skills that you'll have to learn in order to be a successful mechatronic engineer and one of the cool things about engineering is is the number one degree that creates the most millionaires and billionaires and it's very tough so be ready for that but if you can tough it out it's extremely rewarding and i also think that engineering degrees are relatively flexible and well respected so if you get an engineering degree thinking you're going to become a mechatronics engineer and then things don't work out chances are you'll be able to pivot over to something else relatively easily that will also be well paying and hopefully something that you enjoy so overall i'm going to give this one a score of 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to x factors so when you add all those up and divided by four you're going to see that it has an overall score of 8.5 out of 10 that's excellent this is definitely a great option if you're the right person i will say that this one was hard to research for just because it's so new i think it's actually more popular in some other countries than it is here so keep that in mind but if i had to bet on this one i'd say it's definitely going to take off within the next 10 to 15 years now if you want me to make a video on a specific college degree these videos take a long time to research and make so if you don't want to wait for that you can check out my college degree ranker down in the description below in my patreon with that ranker i basically compiled all the best resources from around the internet into one easy to read spreadsheet that'll make it very easy for you to compare different degrees and figure out what the right one is for you if you haven't done it already gently tap the like button hit the subscribe button ring the notification bell and comment down below any thoughts comments criticisms etc that you have on the video share the video that actually helps a lot when you share with the algorithm check out my other videos right here i made them just for you


The next speaker, I'm happy to introduce Marcus Oakey and he is really the go-to guy for charisma conversation skills. He's been teaching this stuff for 10 years. It's a long time and he's worked with pretty much all the big players in the dating industry as a consultant for their companies. He's a returning speaker of the 21 convention and he goes by your charisma coach or the conversation king he's known as and today he's going to be talking about conversation hacking. It's a kind of a new pioneered thing in its infancy so I'm excited to learn all about that and he's spoken all over the world so let's welcome Marcus. Thanks man. I'm here today to talk to you about conversation hacking. It's something I'm very excited to be sharing with you because I haven't really shared this with anyone before at all. I spend a lot of time helping people from different walks of life improve their communication skills and over the last 10 years I've worked with some great people. During that time I started to notice little patterns emerging in conversations I was having, conversations that would flow really well and really elegant. In fact I got to the point where a good friend of mine, a guy called Joss, we'd be on Skype in the evenings and we'd chat to each other and we'd say, guess what? Having a conversation today I threw in this little line into the conversation and a great thing happened and I thought, oh this is interesting. So we started to see patterns in the conversations we were having. What we learned is if we could take those patterns and apply them to future conversations we get similar results. So the reason I'm here to teach conversation hacking is to help you improve your persuasion skills to really give you simple shortcuts to instant influence. In other words, bite-sized pieces of persuasion that you can use with people. So for me the real charm of this has been the practicality. I never dress as neat as I could, I don't think. I'm never sort of one of these people that goes into the most fashionable places and covers myself in very good clothing as you can tell now. And so a problem I always used to have is I'd go up to nightclubs kind of, you know, they're not really my thing but I'd go up sometimes and I'd get turned away because I was wearing trainers. When I was in Australia recently and walked into a nightclub, the guy looked to me and said, I'm sorry mate, you can't come in, it's your trainers. And I remembered a conversation hack. I said, put yourself in my shoes here. No, no, really, I really wish you would put yourself in my shoes here because that means I'd be able to get in because then you'd be wearing my shoes and I'd be wearing your shoes. And he laughed and he let me in. I was like, great. So conversation hacks are little things that will improve your persuasion skills. Now I can't promise you they're going to turn you into a Spengali-like person who can, you know, charm the birds out of the trees. But they might make you maybe 20%, 30%, 40% more persuasive. And the best thing of all is we can use them right now. So I've, you know, I've been lucky. I've managed to live a champagne lifestyle on lemonade money. I think a great thing is to be free and to travel the world. And certainly the case for me is, you know, I've always liked to say yes to any opportunity that comes my way. Recently, I was boarding a plane. And for some reason, I thought I'm going to experiment because a conversation hacker experiments. You think, I wonder if this would work. What would happen if I did this? And I boarded the plane with my ticket, 47 J. I walked up to the stewardess and I said, if you can guess my ticket number, I'll give you a kiss. She went 47 J. I was like, it is 47 J. Now I expected she was going to pucker up, but she didn't. Instead, all the color came from her cheeks. And she kind of went into a state of shock, which is pretty standard when I try and give her a girl a kiss. So she said, oh my God, I must be psychic. I thought she's probably playing some sort of stunt with me. She's obviously clearly got a screen that's telling her all the seat numbers that have been allocated. But no, she just lucked it. She actually guessed my seat number. So I got on the plane, and the stewards and stewardesses were running up to me, more the stewards.  Is our co-worker psychic? And it wasn't. It was just luck. But what I realized was what I'd done is by saying that, I created a bit of drama. I created a spike of emotion as soon as I got on the plane. Because that stewardess had probably just been sat there all day going, yeah, seat 47 B, 28 J, and so forth.
