Hey, everyone. My name is Cheney. And I'm Ramya. So we work on a technical consulting team at Google. And we get to see companies all around the world push the boundaries of the modern web. And while you might have heard some great sessions today talking about different modern web technologies, we are here to focus on the real world challenges faced by e-commerce companies in implementing these technologies. So since we're talking about a real world, a real world metaphor, maintaining a website is a lot like maintaining a house. This right here is the house that I grew up in. It's probably not like the house that you grew up in. Just like the website you work on is different from, say, the person over there. But some things are the same. You have maybe a place you sleep. Maybe there's a dining room. When something breaks, like the AC, you might say, well, I can fix it. And your friend might say, no, you should just call somebody. Over time, when you moved in, when you moved to that new platform, you might look like there's room over here on the left. But technical debt feature creep because Black Friday and the holidays season is coming up, you're trying to get things in. And it gets kind of messy. And I think the house is a great metaphor because like an e-commerce site these days, it's not just about landing in one place and you're done. It's about the journey. You're going from one room to room. You're going from a page to another page, from the home page to the search page to the checkout page. And if the room is like this, you get kind of confused. You don't want your user to feel confused and get lost in it. So it's time to remodel. Maybe you need to upgrade your foundations. Obviously, to remodel, we've talked about a lot of different things throughout today and other talks, things like that. And like all tools in the toolbox, things like progress web apps, AMP, Google sign-in, Google page are great tools. But just like I can't go to the store and buy a power drill that I saw a great commercial of and be like, I'm going to nail this remodel, I could very well destroy everything. So like all tools, just because they fit, they're kind of like puzzle pieces. The two pieces fit, but you might not be actually making progress towards a big picture. So what's a big picture? So at Google, we like to say focus on the user and all else follows. And so we really think that that full picture you're building towards, whatever you choose to do in the e-commerce journey, you need to improve user friction. Think about if you're trying to add service workers, if you're trying to try some of the cool new APIs and like web XR and things like that, how was your solution actually improving the user's journey? Because there's no silver bullet here. To talk about this, I guess, Raman, you had an example? Of course. Satva is a company that sells luxury mattresses and they wanted to ensure that their users have a very smooth and fast online shopping experience. They decided to use AMP as a technology to enable that. In their first iteration of their product details pages, where they created the AMP version of that page, the user had actually to click from the AMP page to the product details page, and then click again to get to the cart page. They realized that this was not the best user experience. So in their second iteration, they changed the design such that the user can see the full details of the product within the AMP page and be able to click to add to cart and even see the cart from the same page. This resulted in reduction of friction for the user going from three tabs to two all in the same page instead of three pages earlier. The results were astounding. Between the two iterations of AMP, they saw a 50% improvement in conversions. Thanks. So it's not just AMP. If you're creating things like a progress web app, you might run into this too. So here's an example from Expedia. Expedia has been working on a brand new front-end platform. It's four times faster on slow 3G, on lower-end devices. It's really great. Their CEO even recently said in their earnings call that speed benefits deliver conversion benefits. Usually, we'll say, we're going to stop here. Great case study. Instead, we're going to go into an interesting learning they had as part of this process. So Expedia, like many of the sites that you might work on, is a large e-commerce site. They're not just going to move from one old platform that's clearly working over to a new platform overnight. They need to do this in a piecemeal way because maybe some teams are on a new platform. They have to socialize it to other teams. And so in doing that, they actually learned an interesting lesson. Users value consistency. So some users, during the migration process, they land it on the old experience. And then after clicking around, you get put into the new experience that's faster. And they might move back and forth a couple of times. That population, to no surprise, actually probably did poorer than if you just stayed in one experience or another. It's very much like if I was up here and I was wearing one brown shoe and one black shoe, probably couldn't take me quite as seriously as you're taking me right now. Hopefully it's on the serious side. So I think users value user journeys that are consistent. So make sure your solutions, not only in that page you're building, but in the entire journey and how you're measuring it, is actually reducing friction. Of course, what I'm saying, though, means that if your journey needs to be consistent all the way from, say, the entry point from the search results page to checkout, you're probably going to run into a lot of challenges. So when we work with a lot of e-commerce partners, we've run into three main challenges. Number one is something that many of you probably think about, organizational alignment. Then you get to a technical approach and then finally, measurement. So we'll talk about that today. Of course. Let's talk about the first challenge, organizational alignment. When you talk to people in e-commerce companies and ask them, do you think investing in performance projects to improve user experience will help improve your core business metrics? The answer is an immediate yes. However, when it comes time to prioritizing performance projects, there's always several hurdles, lack of time, lack of resources. You name it. One of the key ingredients that's missing here is organizational alignment. Performance is not just an engineering priority. Why? Consider this. Your content creation team wants to generate great content for the users to consume. However, they might create images that are too heavy or not optimized because they are not going through the image optimization layer. The marketing team spends several dollars to bring traffic to the site and care deeply about the user experience. However, they might also have tags that are either old or redundant or obsolete. The design team cares very much about that end-to-end experience, but they might have some really cool new features that do not use shared components. In each of these scenarios, one thing is clear, which is that performance needs to be a priority among every team that affects the website and cares about user experience. Let's look at two approaches, a top-down and a bottom-up approach, in order to create organizational alignment. And we'll do this using two examples of partners. 1.800 Flowers, which is a global flower brand, and then Just Fly, which is a Canadian travel agency. 1.800 Flowers believed that the modern marketing department is really marketing plus technology. This is a very big shift in mindset. And what they did was to break out of organizational silos and create a cross-functional team that comprised of product, marketing, design, development, and analytics. This was led by the CMO of the company, and they were given a very clear shared goal, which was to drive growth for the company by investing in emerging product experiences. This allowed this cross-functional team to work really closely to invest not just in one or two, but almost the entire spectrum of modern web technologies. And as you can see, this yielded some great results. Seeing a 50% uplift in conversions does not come easy. Let's look at the other example, Just Fly. Even if you don't have a toppled-down mandate, you can use data to kind of prove your case and get that consensus. Just Fly did just that. They started off with bite-sized proof of concepts and experiments, and got that consensus amongst their management and cross-functional teams to invest in a progressive web app. They started off with this high-level goal of improving the booking experience on their site. And they used data and experiments for just about everything, from testing different JS libraries to testing different checkout flows and design. And also, they had the add-to-home screen icon being installed by a few users to see how those users behave differently from others. And with all of this data, they not only got the buy-in from product and marketing, but they also got the headcount they needed to build the PWA. And they merged the code bases of two of their brands so that they could launch both of them as a PWA in the same time frame that it would have taken for one. Now that's efficiency. And as you can see, with a 35% improvement in bookings, this is a great result for them. All in all, whether you use a top-down approach or a bottom-up approach, it's important to keep in mind that organizational alignment is key to not just prioritizing your performance projects, but also to gain the right visibility so that everybody that cares about user experience also cares about your project. Well, once you get the organizational buy-in, you still have to build a project. So we're not here today to talk about all different ways to build a great progress web app or a modern web experience. We'll share a little bit of the successful traits we see of good projects we see out there. One big pattern is that we see success in having a long-term vision and then having achievable goals towards that vision to give an example. So I was recently in Spain with my wife, and we visited La Sagrada Familia over in Barcelona. I think it's a great example of this. This has been under construction for five generations, and yet it still adheres to the original architect Gaudi's original vision. Despite that, even though it's still under construction, to this day, it opens its doors to 2.5 million towards the year. It's actually very much like some of the e-commerce sites that you have.  So I think it's really interesting to think about that. A lot of teams have that long-term vision, and they often tell me that, yeah, we want to get that time to be interactive to under five seconds. But oftentimes, you find yourself, we ran light housing. We're really far away from it. And what happens is, well, we'll get there someday, and then there's nothing achievable to get there. It's just something you see often in the horizon. Oftentimes, they come back and say, well, we're just going to have short-term goals. And this is great. They have sprints or everything to get quick wins. And not to say quick wins aren't bad, but oftentimes you kind of get into this internal cycle of, well, there's a deadline here, something we can achieve before the holiday season. And then that's all you do. You go into circles or you regress after it a little bit. It's really important that you have both a long-term vision, a short-term goal, and you make sure that they are actually related, that the short-term goals is making meaningful progress towards a long-term vision. Let's make this a little bit more concrete. We all like to say it up on the stage with the other speakers that one of the visions is to improve speed. Obviously, what does that mean? There's a lot of different ways to measure. So let's go back to what I was saying earlier from a user perspective. Improving speed might be to focus on user navigations. So when we say you want to optimize your cold page load, or maybe your return page load to see if you're using caching, or if you're comparing single-page app to multi-page app, a lot of times we're talking about that ease and that latency between me clicking on the user interface and the response in your UI of somebody showing up. So let's talk about speed in that regard. So to go back to the house really quickly, I think doors are a great kind of example of what navigation is. In e-commerce sites, it's like a house. You move from room to room. You might come into the back door, the front door, or something like that. And throughout the process, to complete the journey in the house, like to complete the journey on your website, you move from room to room. On Thanksgiving, you're holding the hot turkey in the kitchen. Do you want to mess around with the door on the left here where you have to find one key and then grab another key to get through the door in the back? It's probably not the door you want. Likewise, there are probably experiences in your e-commerce journey where you don't want the user during sorting, filtering, or searching to have to kind of pay the cost of that locked door. There might be a good place for you to have the door on the right here. I'm not saying that it's always client-side routing or anything like that, but there are different techniques of making that as seamless as possible. So we'll jump into three examples from Walmart, eBay, and Airbnb who are in different parts of this modern web journey and kind of dive into how they're breaking down this process. Walmart's a great example, extremely leading e-commerce site, and they recently made a NordStar goal to reduce time to interactive by 70% on low-end devices, such as the iPhone 6s, Moto G4. And this is an extremely aggressive goal to going back to what I was saying earlier. But I like that they were able to kind of make that goal. So they organized a bunch of product and engineering teams to kind of make meaningful progress towards that. And then in the last couple of months, they got 25% of the way there with improvement on some pages. But just because you make good progress from zero to 25%, doesn't mean just making quick wins or the same process is going to take you from 25% to 70%. But that work is important, because in that work they did, they were able to show significant kind of business improvement and use that to kind of socialize it across their teams. But what do I mean by going for 25 to 75% might not be quite as simple? Take this, it's not really my kind of room, but let's say it is. I could organize this room by just taking some books out and reshuffling and making sure they're all in the same order. But if I was going to take that strategy and do that for everything in this room, I don't know about make meaningful progress and finish in time. If I'm going to clean up this room, I might actually say, well, look, this is kind of how I would like one shelf to look like. But let's kind of take all the books away, move the shelves around to actually get a nice looking kind of place. Likewise, what Walmart is doing is that because they had a North Star goal and they made short-term progress, they're now able to start thinking about, well, what other larger shifts can we take to get to the goal we want to do? Is it building a progressive web app? Is it adding service workers in some meaningful way? I think we're really interested to see kind of what they're going to work on in the next year. Speaking of service workers, eBay is actually using one of the service workers' techniques to improve user navigation on their site. So in one of the earlier talks, we talked about kind of how you can use service workers to improve user navigations. There's lots of different ways. eBay is just using one potential way and they're testing this right now. So they're doing predictive prefetching of listing pages. So for example, right now, if I go to eBay and say I'm looking for a camera for Christmas for my dad and dad, you didn't hear that, I don't think you're tuning in. So right now, if I see a camera in the search results, I have to wait until I click on the listing and then the browser makes another HTML request and I'm waiting for that as a user and depending on what connection I'm in, that could take a long time. Well, eBay is like, if we could predict with high accuracy what you're likely to click on, you're going to click on this camera right here, what if we post message to the service worker that particular file you need and then the service worker is pulling in the background while I'm considering which camera to click on so that when I do click on it, well, it's already there on my phone. So that when I click through, it's as instantaneous of a navigation as possible. Of course, what if you don't have the service worker architecture yet already in place? You're waiting on Q3 for that to be done or maybe some of the quick wins for initial page load might not be there and you're kind of stuck there. Because you have a long-term vision of improving user navigation, you might run into a wall at some point on a short-term goal. Because you have that setup, you can start thinking about different ways of getting to that long-term vision. And this is kind of where Airbnb is kind of thinking about. So Airbnb is like, well, sometimes our page rebooting that JavaScript application on every single page might be a cost we don't want every single page load to be. So they saw that what if we can only update certain parts of the page say in the search results so that only that refreshes, only that shows up when the user clicks on something. In doing this, they actually measure the user perceived speed of that load. And they saw that loading the search results page in that manner was a seven to eight time improvement. And so let's say they start diverting more user traffic to take advantage of client-side routing so that now 88% of search results loads are leveraging the seven to eight time speed improvement. Because at the end of the day, it's a user's journey that matters. Hopefully this is a quick example of how you can keep an eye on long-term vision whatever that may be, set short-term goals and realize that there are a lot of different ways when you hit different walls in that low short-term goals of getting to that long-term vision. Let's talk about the third challenge, measurement. Let me ask you something. Please raise your hands if you've ever worked on a project with great potential to improve user experience, but the plug got pulled at some point because you couldn't prove the impact. Anyone? It's quite a few of us. And this is certainly not uncommon, right? Even if you have a great organizational alignment and a good technical approach to your project, if you don't have the right measurement strategy, it could still fail. Because of this, even though this is a third challenge we are covering here today, this is one of the first things that I've seen successful companies do in terms of thinking about their performance project. A good measurement strategy is one that is shared, automated, and actionable. What do I mean by that? It needs to have shared metrics. To Cheney's earlier point, when you have the not-starred goal, you need to have specific metrics that are mapped to that not-starred goal that are also shared amongst people that care about that user experience. Having these shared metrics is really crucial, and you have to define it in a way that people understand exactly what those metrics are and how they are calculated. The second piece here is automated tools. These tools are necessary, not just to measure these metrics, but also monitor them over time so that you can gain real good insights from them. And once you have those tools, it's important to understand what are the actionable next steps. Now that I have this insight, what changes can I make in order to meet that not-starred goal? Let's dive into shared metrics a little bit deeper because it's often not as well understood. When I talk about mapping goals to specific metrics, we have these four big milestones when we talk about a user journey in terms of acquisition, engagement, conversion, and re-engagement. Let's focus more on the conversion piece. Let's say you really wanted a seamless checkout experience for your users. One way to measure that is to think about the average time that it takes for, let's say, 90% of your users to go from that cart page to the order completion page. Understanding from a user perspective how easy or difficult it is for them to convert when that intent is clear is a good way potentially for measuring whether you're having a seamless checkout flow. Another important point to consider is third parties. Third parties are an integral part of that user experience on your site, and therefore they should not be ignored when it comes to measurement strategy either. So one way you can hold your third party accountable is to say that the server response time should be under a certain budget that you set for them. All in all, talking about budgets, you've been hearing this term of performance budgets throughout various sessions today. A performance budget is a framework that allows you to understand what changes represent progress and what changes represent regressions. And it does take into account the set of shared metrics and you have budgets for each of those metrics which are shown in this automated tool and made actionable. Let's actually take a look at how three different e-commerce companies took this idea of a performance budget and implemented it so well that they have seen some amazing results. Are you ready? Okay, C-discount is a French leader in e-commerce that had a problem that is not very unlike many of us in e-commerce. They saw a big chunk of their traffic on mobile, but they didn't see that the mobile sales were at a similar ratio. They realized that this is not an easy problem to solve. So they broke organizational silos and they empowered their marketing team to run deep analysis and come up with a set of shared best practices. They then implemented these best practices as budgets within their tool and using the integration between speed curve and Slack, they ensured that when the budgets were not met, automatic alerts would be sent into the Slack channel which were shared amongst all the cross-functional teams. By collaborating in making all of these different changes, they saw some really, really good results. Their mobile website conversion rate was 50% higher than their native app, which has a four, four and a half star in different app stores. This is something that all of us really can relate to, right? It's not easy to get there. Let's take another example. Carousel, which is a Singapore-based online marketplace, used this idea of a performance budget because they really wanted their users in Southeast Asian countries where the predominant network speed is 3G. They wanted all of those users to have a great experience on their site. And so they started off with this kind of performance budget. Note that the first line here is about the critical rendering path resources bundle to be under 120 KB. This is irrespective of whether that bundle includes first-party or third-party because they had this commitment that that bundle needs to be really small. They were so intent upon following this performance budget that they included this as part of their continuous integration process such that the code could not be merged until this bundle or this budget was met. In order to do that, it was not an easy thing at all, so they really had to collaborate very, very closely with their design and marketing and analytics teams, and that really paid off very well, as you can see in this next slide. Not only are these metrics really good, but there's something here for every team that was part of this project. The product team cares about the page load time, the marketing team cared about organic traffic, the ads team cared about the click-through rates, and the transactions team cared about how many buyers and sellers were able to chat with each other to complete their transaction. So these were great results all in all. Let's look at a third example. As you heard earlier today about Wayfair, the home goods company here in US, that really wanted to improve user experience and make sure that they sustained that improvement. When they first started off with the performance budget, which they said was one of the most crucial parts of the measurement that they did, it did not take off that much, because these budgets were understood, but it was not very clear for everybody. While they made so many changes towards optimizing their M site, they said that one of the most important things they did was to socialize their budget. And the way they did that was to make it clear using performance indicators as you see here in colors. So this is how it worked. They had a budget and they had an acceptable variance of plus or minus 10%. So if you were within that range, you're in orange. If you exceed that budget by more than 10% then you enter the red area. And if you're better than the budget by more than 10%, then you've hit your goal. Congratulations, you're a green. They also had a competitor line just to make things fun. This is how it looked for all internal users when they looked at their specific pages since the budgets were set at a page type level for every route in the site. So the moment you look at your mobile site within the company, you are able to see these indicators that told you whether you're in the red, green, or orange. As you can see here, the way they set these budgets was the moment you hit the goal reliably, your budget and therefore goal, which was always 10% better than the budget, tightened up a little bit. You can see that over here where once you hit the goal, the bar was raised, so to speak, and it actually tightened up over there. By the way, isn't this the kind of graph we all wanna see going from 2.3 seconds to 0.9 seconds? That's really awesome. This is their performance portal. As you can see in this portal, they had a clear set of shared metrics, not just the metrics, but also the page level indicator. And they have a call to action at the bottom for users to basically reach out to a Slack channel if they had questions about these metrics. Whether you're trying to use a performance budget idea or trying to use the general idea of a shared metrics, automated tool, and actionable next steps, thinking about your measurement strategy at the beginning of your project is crucial to the success of the project. Another thing to remember about performance budgets is that it needs governance to think about the metrics at a page or route level and also to maintain those budgets and metrics as moving targets as you go forward. It also needs to be enforced in a way that everybody can come together to meet or beat those budgets. And that makes it very, very successful. We would love to go deeper into some of these partner stories, but true to form, we might be slightly above our performance budget for time. So hopefully, you learned something from today's talk. I think we want to focus on making sure your tools actually improve the user journey. And along the way, you might run into these three problems, or alignment, technical approach, measurement. This isn't anything new to us, and we hope some of these partner examples help you move a little further along on that journey. Which means you need to do something differently the next time you work on a performance broad check to build consensus and visibility for your project to cross those technical hurdles to reach the not-star goal. And also, not just to prove the impact, but also to sustain the improvement that you've worked so hard for. When you have all of these considerations for your project, I'm sure that working on performance projects can be very exciting and rewarding as many of these partners would attest to. I'd like to say a special thanks for all of these partners that allowed us to share their stories with you today and many others who've influenced this talk in some way or another. We would love to hear more from you and your specific challenges when you're trying to adopt modern web technologies. Please come find us at the Ask Chrome section during the break. Thank you. Thanks, everybody.


Hey, this is Brett and this 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Double Cab Short Box is stock number 12958Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2022 Chevy 2500 has the 6.6 liter V8 gas engine. It puts out 401 horsepower. All of our vehicles go through 130-point inspection process per the state of Wisconsin inspection and get a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids get checked and tapped off before being made available for sale to our customers. We're going to go all the way around in this video, inside, underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood. Only about 1,300 miles on this car, so it's going to be pretty much perfect. That white is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person.

This one comes with the 18-inch painted and polished aluminum rims and they come with Michelin LTX AT tires on them. LT27570R18s are the size and they have just about all the tread left, like I said, only 1,300 miles or so on this truck. Frame and underbody looks really good, does have the rancho shocks with the Z71 off-road suspension package and you get your Z71 badge on the fenders now. Front fender, didn't see any dents or dings on there, headlight lenses are nice and clear. Front bumper is absolutely perfect, notice those LED fog lamps, we'll turn those on at the end of the video, they are very nice and bright. The hood is in fantastic condition, I didn't see any dents or dings on there and it does come with the cab lights on top of the roof there. passenger side front fender, no dents or dings and the passenger side front rim, no scuffs or scrapes. Now as you go down this side of this 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and they were like that paint is and we take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by but you just cannot make the trip down but you're so interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed mind decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision let your salesman know that you saw the video that was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back rim is in excellent shape as well and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires comes with the felt wheel well liners and the frame and underbody. What you would expect on a 2022 with only 1,300 miles on it, lower rockers, cam corners all look good and comes with the factory chrome step bars, side box steps which are a nice feature. Passenger side box, I didn't see any dents or dings on there, rear bumper is in very nice condition as well, you do get the rear bumper steps too and full towing package which includes receiver hitch 4 pin and 7 pin wiring. Tailgate absolutely perfect and it does have the power drop down tailgate which is a very nice feature. You get the LED bed lighting back here and a spring in bed liner that looks like it's never been used and that bed liner goes onto the tailgate as well. Shuts nice and solidly and is very easy to lift. Coming around to the driver's side just as clean as that passenger's side, no dents or dings on the box, does have the capless fuel fill, never get gas on your hands again and for full disclosure this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Coming down to the rest of the side of the vehicle, no dents or dings on the doors, has the telescopic tow mirrors, they have built in directional signals, they telescope out like so, they also fold in like that. Inside the LT1 package gives you the black cloth interior, you get the 40-20-40 split bench seating in this truck, very, very nice and clean. No rips or tears, this truck's never been smoked in, comes with the all-weather Z71 formats, auto headlamps, fog lights, push button four-wheel drive, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, you get the kind of interesting wood grain trim on the doors. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 1,438 miles, you get a compass display, that instrument cluster is very nice and clean, comes with the leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, cruise controls on the left, and you do get audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. With the 6.6-liter V8 gas you get the six-speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift, this one comes with the Chevy infotainment system, AM-FM and you can see it does have serious XM radio capabilities here. You also have your Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities so you can project your cell phone to the screen, so if you have a nav system such as Waze or Google Maps, project it right to the screen, then it's like you have the nav on the screen. This is also where your backup camera shows up. Down here are your dual climate controls, your heated seat buttons, your downhill assist control, you can put that tailgate down from inside the truck. You also have good lights, stability control, you do get the push-button start and then you get a factory brake controller, a USB, USB-C and then a 12-volt power point there. Pass under side floor mat and seat are in excellent condition, no rips or tears.  We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Back seats just as clean as those front seats, no rips or tears back here, it does have a latch, child safety system for any child car seats you may have, fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost.  Bottoms of the doors all look really good, let's start it up, take a look under the hood, check out those LED fog lamps and we'll be all done. Oh, I got one more cool thing to show you, quick, besides the engine. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. So you get the tire and loading information right here, and then you also get your trailering information, which I think is pretty cool that Chevy does that, because yeah, how much you can tow and all that good stuff, and then your VIN sticker. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you'll be able to verify the quality, condition, and options of this truck all the way around inside out, see those LED fog lights are super bright, all the lights are working nicely, which they should. This truck's fully under warranty yet too, so 3 or 36 bumper to bumper, 5 year 60 power train. Under the hood we have the 6.6 liter V8 gas engine, 401 horsepower engine base, very clean runs, very smooth. Once again, all of our vehicles go through 130 point inspection, get a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids get checked and topped off before being made available for sale on our lot. There is your emission sticker, shocks are working nicely, and this is one very, very nice truck, and I would highly recommend this 2022 Chevy Silverado double cab short box LT1Z71 in summer white from a quality and condition standpoint, and to see more pictures of this truck or one of our 450 new and used cars, trucks, CVs, minivans, wranglers, halftones, recoder tons, one tons, you name it, we've got to go to that website right there, summitauto.com, full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com, and if you'd like to check out more HD videos you can go to youtube.com slash summitauto, remember to like, subscribe, and share on this video and all the videos that you see there, click the bell notifications you'll get updates on the videos we do each and every day here at Summit Automotive.

I would like to thank the Irish presidency as well as the Institute of International and European Affairs for organizing this event. Ten years have passed since the Western Balkans Summit in Dezaluniki in June 2003. The Dezaluniki agenda confirmed the EU accession perspective for all the countries in the region and the language adopted was very clear. The future of the Balkans is within the European Union, and we still firmly believe in this. Why is it that Austria attaches so much importance to the continued enlargement process in the southeast European area? First because this is our neighborhood, both of the EU as such, as Austria in particular. Our dense network of bonds with the Western Balkans is based on our geographic situation, common history, as well as human and economic interlinkages today to give you some figures. Vienna with 180,000 Serbian citizens is considered the fourth largest Serbian city in the world after biograde, nobisad in Chicago, or beside this, Austria is home to large communities of 130,000 Bosnians, 70,000 Croats and 40,000 Kosovo's. Many of them came as refugees from the wars in the 1990s. All the disconnections facilitated the expansion of Austrian companies to the Western Balkans. They have been among the first foreign investors in these regions, preparing the ground for many others. For example, in Croatia, which is now about to join the European Union, 750 Austrian enterprises are active there, making Austria the biggest foreign investor in this country. Secondly, we believe in the power of enlargement for the transformation of the region and for the good of the European Union. Regrettably, enlargement has slipped down the EU agenda in recent years. Our attention is presently more directed towards the EU internal affairs and to other external more burning regions, yet while combating the current financial and economic crisis as well as structural deficits within the EU, we must not neglect progress on enlargement. A pause in this enlargement process at this critical moment would put the EU achievements at risk and damage the EU's credibility. Therefore, we have to thank you, the Irish presidency, for promoting the enlargement agenda. We must not waver in our commitment to expand the zone of stability, peace and prosperity to our neighbourhood by offering a clear EU perspective to the Western Balkan countries. Enlargement has increased the EU's influence on the global stage. And what are the lessons for the Austrian perspective since the Salerniki? The Copenhagen criteria set out the right principles for the EU's enlargement policies. Therefore, we should apply them very strict and without compromise. As all previous examples in the enlargement process have shown, our approach of insisting on reforms before moving to the next step of integration works. At the same time, we have to meet our own promises and obligations when these reforms have been implemented. With regard to accession box Austria, as a strong advocate for the rule of law, fully supports the new approach of the Commission to start negotiations with Chapter 23 and 24. This approach applied for the first time to Montenegro as an important practical lesson from previous enlargements. Another important lesson is that we should start accession negotiations early. We have seen in the past that the accession process serves as an effective driving force for reforms. As a catalyst for transformation and as an anchor of stability, prosperity and peace, it is therefore important to give those countries who are ready the chance to start accession talks. Bringing them back on the ground of bilateral issues is short-sighted and it undermines the credibility of the entire EU. We thus need to make sure that bilateral disputes, territorial, financial, historical and others are kept out of the integration process. And finally, dimensionate tools such as the instrument of pre-accession assistance or the EU-twinning partnerships have proven to be essential in preparing countries for membership. Based on cooperation between all the new members, they built up expertise in public administration. And let me give now a short outlook on what we expect to come next. Mr. Spieking, you will agree with me that the base of progress in the Western Balkans is uneven. Let me stress the positive sides. It is extremely encouraging to see the historical landmark agreement on the 19th April between Serbia and Kosovo facilitated by high-representative Catherine Ashton. This agreement for us is a major breakthrough on the road towards normalizing the relations between Belgrade and Bristina. It babes the way for both Serbia and Kosovo to move up to the next stage. And we need to size this unique window of opportunity. In June, we have to decide upon a date for the beginning of accession negotiations with Serbia and the beginning of negotiations on stabilization and association agreement with Kosovo. Serbia and Kosovo deserve this next step to be taken. Furthermore, we feel encouraged that Macedonia has made progress in the implementation of reforms in the context of the high-level accession dialogue in nearly all fields, and that steps have been taken to promote good naval relations. We continue to remain firm supporters of Macedonia's European future. However, we urge our partners to fully implement the memorandum of the 1st of March. And in Albania, we expect that the parliamentary elections next month will meet high-democratic standards and hope that nationalistic rhetoric will fade away and parliamentary work will return to a normal stage in order to adopt outstanding reform legislation. Unfortunately, Bosnia-Herzegovina has made very little progress towards meeting the political criteria and achieving more functional, coordinated and sustainable institutional structures. For us, it is disappointing that the commitments for the accession process have not been fulfilled. And for now, we think that it's very important that the political leaders must find a way to implement the sedge-fingy ruling of the European Court of Human Rights. They should finally put the interest of the state before their personal and party interests and need to seek political compromises in order to make progress in new integration. We see the efforts made in particular by Commissioner Fülle, but we think there is a long way for Bosnia-Herzegovina still to be before they really have progress. Mr. Chair, dear colleagues, in concluding, I would like to reiterate my appeal that we must not put our achievements at risk by stalling the enlargement process at this crucial juncture. On the contrary, the EU needs to stick to its commitment made 10 years ago and firmly maintain the European perspective for the whole Western Balkans. Gracious accession in a month is within reach. That will be a historic and encouraging moment for enlargement, for peace and stability. And it will be a proof of success of the dynamics of the European integration and the step towards our common future with the Western Balkan countries in the European Union. Thank you very much.


First of all I welcome you all once again to my channel explore education and today I am going to discuss a important and important and relevant topic in the field of principles of education that is minimum level of learning and I am Dr. Rashmi Singh assistant professor department of education is Kanna Girls Rule College University of Allahabad and it is my email ID. The lecture will be in bilingual mode and will be useful for various teaching examinations and do subscribe my channel if you want to get my future videos too on different aspects of education. So first of all start we are starting with minimum level of learning popularly known as MLL. The minimum level of learning strategy for improving the quality of elementary education is an attempt to combine quality with equity. means if we talk about the minimum level of learning then it is that strategy that we are especially for elementary education. As soon as you see the content in the front you will know that it is especially for elementary education. This means that children should get at least this much knowledge in elementary education. This much minimum level of learning should be available to them. This much knowledge should be available to them. So attempt to combine quality with equity means we can give full education and equity means irrespective of sex, color, caste, creed etc. Then it lays down learning outcomes in the form of competencies or levels for learning for each stage of elementary education. Means in this it is said that learning outcomes will be taken out in the form of competencies. Means that after this lecture the chapter should have this much knowledge. After this lecture the chapter should be so cautious and levels for learning for each stage of elementary education. Means that every stage is taken out for elementary education. This should be the learning outcome in the form of competency and the chapter should be achieved. MNLs in terms of learning competencies are expected to be mastered by every child by the end of a particular class on stage of education. Means it is believed that MNL is learning competency and it is expected that every chapter, every single chapter, a particular chapter or the chapter that he is teaching will be mastered after that. Then each competency can be further delineated in terms of sub competencies. Means competency has also been divided into sub competencies. By specifying the content inputs or by measures of learning. The set of MNLs would actually represent the rational criteria adopted for judging the adequacy of the curricular inputs provided and the learning outcomes to be expected. Means MNL is actually a rational criteria. Means it is a tarctic mandate adopted to judge that the curricular inputs that we are teaching in the form of a particular class are not required and the learning outcomes to be expected and we are getting a lot of support from it and the learning outcomes to be expected. And this is the story of Korean 1991. So we have got general information that what is MNL? First of all, elementary education. What is the second one? These are some learning competencies which are in the second class by the end of each chapter. So it should be mastered. And this learning competency has also been divided into sub competencies. Then basic considerations. What is the basic concept of MNL? So while formatting the MNLs, first of all the cognitive capabilities of the children at different classes or grades corresponding to different stage of development. So they tell us that after sensory motor, we go to pre-operational, then concrete operational, then formal operational means that when we are in the formal operational stage, we talk about cognitive level. So we are talking about sensory motor or pre-operational because I am trying to do this for elementary education. So in pre-operational stage, when the child is on the pre-operational stage of cognitive development, then what will be the MNL according to which its cognitive capability is. That is, MNL is looking at us as a group of PRJs, not as a group of Bruner. Bruner said that we can achieve any stage in any stage. But they are saying that there are different stages, there are karmic, there are karmic. And we cannot jump anyone. According to that, MNL is also made up of a minimum level of learning that when the chapter of elementary education goes from one class to another, then the stage of development, the cognitive capability of its students, we will design MNL according to that. First thing. Second, the empirical reality in terms of the enabling environmental conditions that characterize the primary education program. That is, what is our primary learning program? What is the empirical reality in terms of the enabling environmental conditions? That is, we also have to see whether MNL is designed according to that. That is, these two elements are considered to be the minimum level of learning, the minimum level of learning for every stage. And for that, it is also defined that which curricular areas are made and what is it? What will be the class one, what will be the class two, what will be the class three, etc. In terms of MNL, schools can be judged in terms of learning and performance capabilities of students and graduates rather than the quality of buildings and qualifications of teachers. That is, especially for elementary education, but can be extended to secondary or higher education too. And in terms of MNL, if we talk about the minimum level of learning, then in what terms will we judge the students? That what is the benefit of the students who are coming out of that stage, what is the outcome of their performance, what is the outcome of learning? Rather, how good is the infrastructure they have or how good is the education they teach there? This does not make any difference. It makes a difference that the outcome we are getting there is much more cautious than youth. Then, many of the commissions of many teachers have come, they have also talked a lot about the minimum level of learning, various commissions on MNL. What do many commissions say about the minimum level of learning? So, the Education Commission, which came to the University of Chausat, the report it submitted in Chhachat, what does it say? Has emphasized that student of all schools should attain the determined level of learning. Then in 1978, NCRT had started a project with the help of UNICEF entitled as Primary Education Curriculum Renewal. That is, NCRT made a project with the help of UNICEF which was called Pratamik Shiksha, in which they are renewing part-time. In line with MNL, they have made a project called Pratamik Shiksha, which is called Pratamik Shiksha, in which they are renewing part-time. In line with MNL, then NPE 1986, today the NEP that we got in 2020, the first national education that came to us in 1986, what does it say? Stated as laying down of minimum level of learning, which all students should achieve. That also says that we will have to make some minimum level of learning and every student will have to achieve it. Then using the evaluation and following the NPE 1986, NCRT makes another document, which is called Minimum Level of Learning at Primary Stage. And this is happening in 1986, after 1986. Then NCRT has kept ensuring quality education for all in national framework 2005. We should know that NCRT keeps revising curricular framework, for school education, for teacher education, in this way. The 2005 framework of school education, in which they are telling us which bindu or bindu should be based, they also say that NCRT has kept ensuring quality education. Their main purpose is that we can give full education to our teachers. So for that, to make national education system more efficient, which will be possible only after the determination and achievement of MLL. When we make the minimum level of learning, and the second step is to achieve it. Then steps. What are the steps we have to take if we want to talk about MLL? First of all, preliminary assessment of the existing level of learning achievement. First of all, we have to do a preliminary assessment. We have to do a full assessment of the existing level of learning achievement. The existing level of learning achievement, which is existing in this way, we have to do a full assessment of that. Then what should we do? Preparation of teacher training handbooks for MLL-based teaching. Then we have to make teacher training handbooks, so that the teacher who is going to deal with elementary education, knows what MLL is and what things we want to do. That's why he will work for the outcome, so that he can accept it and achieve it. So first, we have to make teacher training handbooks on the second step. Then introduction of continuous and comprehensive evaluation of students and using evaluation results for remedial action. That is, in the overall education system, we have adopted CCE by leaving the summative evaluation. Continuous and comprehensive and which is called formative assessment. So what we have to do is, we have to keep doing continuous and comprehensive evaluation of students and also the result will come of the evaluation. For whom will we use that? For remedial action, so that they will be able to diagnose where the child is lagging, so we will provide remedial action to fulfill those things. Then using MLL norms as and when curriculum and textbooks are revised. So who will use these MLL norms? If we know that after completing the education of one of the students of class A, he will be able to achieve this achievement. For example, if we get so much knowledge, we should be able to write so much, so much that he can speak, then what will we do when the textbook and curriculum will be revised, then we will give attention to it, we will summarize those points. And provision of competency-based teaching learning materials to make the educational process activity-based and joyful. And how will we make competency-based teaching learning material, so that we can make the practical practice and make it meaningful and joyful for the child. Oh, sorry. This is two times. Then basic features. What are the basic features of MLL? When we talk about the minimum level of learning, when we talk about the right and the wrong, there are some basic features that need to be fulfilled. The first thing is achievability. Such a minimum level of learning is made that the child is not able to achieve it. That is, it should be achievable, it should be successful through education. So, a basic characteristic that MLLs must satisfy is that MLLs must, oh, it's two times. Is that they should correspond to learning objectives that are achievable by all learners. No, the minimum level means that everyone should achieve it. This means that we have to give the minimum that every child should achieve this much. This is so because of certain specific reasons. Why is that? There are two special reasons for that. There are some spelling mistakes. To serve as performance objectives and goals, we have to make sure that this is our performance objective or goal after this class. And secondly, to ensure learning up to mastery level by every children in the class. And when we get to know the minimum level, then we can do the mastery as well. Okay, we will achieve this much, then we will move on to the mastery level. Then, communicability. It is not enough that MLLs are realistic and achievable. So, if we say that MLLs are achievable, sorry, we have to go back. It is wrong here. You can see that there are two R's in R. MLLs are realistic and achievable. This means that the minimum level of learning that we have made in the past, we have made it in the afternoon, the child is getting it. But this is also important that the language in which it is made, it is easily understandable. Everyone should understand it easily. Why? Because there are not many teachers in the mainstream, in some remote areas, in some places where their communication is not possible. So, they too can understand it, they have the courage to understand it, so that they can achieve it with their students. So, this should be communicable. Then, availability. It is such that we can judge it, we can learn it, we can learn it. How will this happen? The statement of MLLs should be such that they serve as an effective blueprint for continuous and comprehensive evaluation of learners. And thereby streamline the processes involved. That is to say, if we evaluate the child so much, we feel that the child has achieved so much that he can go to the US. The attempt has thus been to set the MLLs in such a way as to make assessment of learner attainment easy for the teacher, whether it is done through written, oral or other types of tests. I mean, it does not have to be so cliched, it has to be easy. And one more thing to be especially aware of is that there is no detention policy on elementary education. This is an automatic promotion, you can say, that we do not want to fail the child. So, it does not mean that we do not want to be ignorant of it. We want to be ignorant of it, we want to diagnose it, we want to give it a remedy for its learning difficulties. We do not want to detain it. So, it can be misunderstood that we do not want to be ignorant of it. So, this message should not be given here. Then learning continuum. I mean, I will continue learning in elementary education. It is not that the first-class education is completely different from the second-class. But it is a continuum, that we have to study so much, we have to study so much, then we have to study so much. The endeavor has been to set emeralds in as simple and comprehensive manner as possible, specifying the competencies to be mastered under each learning unit from class 1 through class 5. Until our 5 plus, 3 plus, 3 plus, 4 did not come, this is the first thing. 10 plus, 2 plus, 3 when our structure was going on, then we were already called 5th-class elementary education. So, they are saying that from class 1 to class 5, we have to get this learning continuum. Learning has been seen as a continuum in which units are sequenced hierarchically, in which the unit has been placed hierarchically, the easiest way to do it is cut-in, cut-in, cut-in, cut-in. So, that the clusters of competencies in one unit build as directly as possible on the competencies in the preceding unit. That is, if we get a single building, then we can go to the next unit as a unit, in the form of a single unit. Then, in the curricular areas, if we talk about what part of the program we need for MLL, then there are generally three areas. Language, mathematics, and environmental studies. In environmental studies, your social studies and sciences will be both. So, in the language, if the child is a student of class 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then what are the areas where he needs a mastery? So, if we, for example, take the language. So, in the language, listening, the child of class 1 can understand what he or she is listening to, what he or she can say, how much she can read, how much she can write. She should have the comprehension of ideas, how much capability she needs, how much functional grammar she needs, how much self-learning she can do, how much language use she can do, and how much control she has. So, these competencies will increase at every level, but we will have the areas here. Similarly, in mathematics, in the same way, in EVS, in the same way, if we want to take it in a post-polastic area, then this concept of minimum level of learning came because we were able to meet the quality of equity, and we were able to make every child so capable that at least they knew that in the next lecture, we were able to take it easily. And our building, we were able to connect it, with the knowledge of it, knowledge building blocks. Okay, so this is the concept of MLL, and in its course, these are the benefits for it. In any case, we should know what is the minimum level of learning, what are previous commissions had said about MLL. So, thank you all, and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel, and join my telegram group too, to get learning materials and ask your query and provide me feedback too there. Done from my side.


U.S. Navy Korea, attention on deck. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert has taken time to reach out to sailors serving in the Republic of Korea. While on a trip through the Asia-Pacific region, the CNO stopped by to meet with the rock CNO Admiral Hwang-gi Cheol, speak at the Rock Navy War College and visit U.S. sailors serving in Korea. The reason Darlene and I are here is we kind of want to listen and learn about how our things over here in Korea. Admiral Greenert discussed the future of naval operations in the Pacific. Probably the most important part is about understanding and that's relationship. That's re-engaging and ensuring our allies that we're going to be there for you, checking our exercises and making sure that they are sophisticated enough and frequent enough. And also took time to answer any of the sailors' questions. With the economy improving and more lucrative positions emerging in the private sector, what is the Navy doing to retain well-qualified personnel among its ranks? The CNO highlighted his visit by acknowledging the hard work of all sailors in Korea and even frocking several sailors from Commander Naval Forces Korea. Okay, I've got a hand for our frockies. Petty Officer Chris Church, U.S. Navy Korea, attention on deck. Seoul, Korea.


then if I want to go to my history on the right-hand side it'll show us the reconciliation reports so this is for the for this account so if I view this report then again it's quite boring because the summary up top should give you this normally will reflect what's on the bank statement but we're missing that beginning $1,000 because it's included down below so instead of having the $1,000 up top it's right there but you can see it's the same thing you might note that in your first bank reconciliation but then this is the statement ending balance which in essence is this balance on the find the credit card statement and this is the register balance meaning this is what's on our register over here on the balance sheet let's run the balance sheet month by month so I can see the months broken out but let's just run it for let's go from 08 01 2 2 2 11 30 2 2 let's say boom and so now we've got August if I go down so there's the 5 2 2 7 1 so as of 8 31 5 2 2 7 1 and then there's the 5 2 2 7 1 so so the point is that there's nothing in between these two because we constructed our books from the bank account or from the financial institution so in other words if it was a normal bank statement kind of situation and we wrote checks the difference between those two might be the outstanding checks the checks that we wrote the checks that are in our system correctly but which have not cleared the bank therefore timing difference and we could have that you could if you were doing a full service system with the credit cards you would do the same thing we would enter the charges in our side when we bought something when I paid the utilities bill with the credit card I would enter the expense form go into the credit card when I actually make the charge and then verify it to the bank reconciliation to the bank fees but that's not what most people do because that takes another step most people because the timing difference is so short and because we're pretty we're pretty confident in the banking transactions and whatnot we just wait till it clears the bank and then we record it from the bank fees which means we're not going to have any timing difference because we waited till it cleared the bank which only takes a couple days generally so not a big wait not a big problem in order to record it okay so that's the credit cards and and so next month it should be even easier so we might do one or two more months just to show that after this has reconciled after you're in balance then you almost don't even need to reconcile but again you might as well because it helps you to figure out if there is a problem how to solve the problem you solve it through doing the reconciliations and then we'll do the same thing on the checking accounts in future presentations with the reconciliations as well

And the Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modiji, to deliver his statement to the media. Your Excellency, President Edgar Lungu, has just arrived from Zambia. All of us here were honored. Friends, Namaskar. I am very happy to welcome President Lungu and his delegation to India. He is the first President of Africa. After becoming the new government, he is travelling to India. This is the first trip to India of President Lungu. And we have got the opportunity to welcome him. The relationship between India and Zambia is older than the freedom of Zambia. Zambia is a very important friend and a trusted partner of India. We have faith in the common people. And we connect both the developing countries to each other. Our business community, trade and commerce, investment and infrastructure, development, cooperation, capacity building, and the strong relations between the culture and the people. Friends, today President Lungu and I have discussed the issues of our relations. We agree that trade and commerce will benefit both the countries and the international relations. In the form of another trusted partner, India has been sharing its experience of development in an easy way. We are happy that it has helped us in the development of Zambia. We are happy that the development of India has been easy. We are happy that India will establish an inclusive centre in Zambia. In order to increase India's economy, India will establish 100 solar irrigation pumps. We will send 1,000 tons of rice and 100 tons of milk powder to Zambia. Zambia is a country filled with agriculture. In addition to other crops, Zambia is the largest country in Zambia. MOU will increase our co-operation in the mineral resources. The research and development of the companies will be carried out. Today, an important MOU has been launched on defence cooperation. In the area of protection, the exchanges will be increased and defence cooperation will be strengthened. To increase the resources of the Zambian Armed Forces, the Indian military and Air Force training team will be established in Zambia. Five fire tenders will be established in the Zambia Air Force Base. I am happy that Zambia has joined our tele-education and tele-medicine and has become an important role model for the development of India. The MOU will strengthen the international relations between the two countries. As part of the international relations, we want to ensure that health care, tourism, agriculture, food processing, mining, and energy are provided in both countries to use the available resources. India Jamiya Business Forum will help to increase the engagement in these areas. Welcome to Jamiya International Solar Alliance. Solar energy is very important for the artistic development and development. We can do a lot together in the International Solar Alliance. Friends, there is a strong bond between India and Jamiya. The cultural, economic, and capacity building of these relations is very important. We are happy to be involved in the training of the diplomats of Jamiya. Excellency, I thank you once again for accepting our invitation. Your presence in New Delhi has made us proud. I thank you once again for your delegation. Thank you, sir. It is now my pleasure to invite His Excellency, Mr. Edgar Chagwalungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, to deliver his statement to the media. Your Excellency, Prime Minister Modi, members of the press, ladies and gentlemen, first and foremost, let me profoundly thank the government and people of India for the warm welcome and generous hospitality according to me, my dedication, and the others then to arise since our arrival in this beautiful historical city of New Delhi. I have just had a fruitful discussion with the Honourable Prime Minister Modi this afternoon. Discussions which have enhanced cooperation between the two countries even further. I look forward to the discussions with Honourable President Kovind later today which we will build on our discussions during his last visit to Zambia in April last year. From the outset, I wish to state that Zambia and India share excellent relations with support from India, focusing the areas of energy, health, infrastructure development, education, capacity building, agriculture, trade and investment, just to mention but a few. Projects being undertaken in Zambia today with the support of the Indian government include the Lusaka Traffic Decondition Project, construction of 650 health posts across the country, construction of the Mahatma Gandhi Convention Centre, establishment of the Entrepreneurship Cooperative Development Centre and upgrading of the Mahatma Gandhi Primary School to secondary school level among other projects. The people of Zambia are truly grateful for the generous support received over the years. My visit here has already started bearing fruits in that we have witnessed the signing of some important agreements in the field of defence, to the education, to the medicine, arts and culture, elections, e-training and e-medicine and mines, as well as between our two diplomatic training institutes. The Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, we look forward to the revival of the Zambia India Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation, which will take stock of the implementation of agreed areas of bilateral cooperation and will further explore new areas of cooperation. Private investment in Zambia by Indian companies currently stands at five billion United States dollars, which has contributed positively to Zambia's development agenda in terms of job creation and economic diversification. I would like to see more Indian companies coming to partner with Zambian companies as a result of this visit. Excellency, I'm happy to announce that apart from the government officials, I have been accompanied on this visit by a business delegation from Zambia who would like to partner with the Indian business community in various areas of interest. I am confident and extremely confident that the Zambia India Business Forum, which is taking place today, will foster trade and investment linkages of mutual benefit to our two friendly countries. Evidently, India is an important and strategic partner in Zambia's quest for enhanced social economic development as articulated in our country's 7th National Development Plan. They said to visit, therefore, we will build on the achievements and enhance cooperation between the two countries, even further. I therefore wish to reaffirm Zambian government's commitment to enhancing the excellent relations and cooperation with India at both bilateral and multilateral levels for the mutual benefit of the people of our two countries. I thank you, Excellency. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Excellency. This concludes the presentation. Thank you all for joining me.

And he is maybe the most electrifying point scorer that basketball has had. He has like that savage mentality, both on and off the court. That was awesome to watch last night.
