because of battle, battle deaths, has more than tripled in the past decade. And Kristalina, I'd like to turn to you now because we know that the World Bank, that your mission is really to lift people out of extreme poverty. Those people are increasingly living in conflict-prone areas. What worries you the most about the state of security and development right now? There is a lot to be concerned. You started by the sheer fact of tripling of conflicts. But I would add to this three very significant concerns. One is that in a world we can celebrate the decline of extreme poverty. Over the last 25 years, a staggering 1.1 billion people have been lifted up out of poverty. In that same world, in sub-Saharan Africa and in other parts of Middle East in particular that are conflict-affected, extreme poverty is growing. And it is growing with a troubling speed. So if we are to meet this goal of ending extreme poverty, we have to worry about peace and security first and foremost. Secondly, we need to recognize that when there is a conflict, there are many other problems that are very severe. For example, pandemics. Right now in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there is yet another Ebola wave. And what is on the way of stopping it? War. What we can see is that this lack of security is hitting people once and twice and three times. And the third thing that worries us tremendously is what you mentioned in the beginning, vulnerability to climate change. Countries that have done least to contribute to climate change very often are the most to suffer the consequences of it. And yet we are not balancing investing in mitigation, which is hugely important, with also investing in adaptation. So conflicts, what they do for health, lack of education, lack of social services and climate. And when you have this poisonous cocktail, then the result is children, women, men, with lives devastated. And I'd like to, perhaps a bit later, we can talk a little bit more about how you address that potential devastation. But first, I'd like to turn to you, Thomas, because as a regional security organization, the OSCE has been very heavily involved right now in Eastern Ukraine, where we're seeing the tensions between Russia and the West on full display. And so I'd like to ask you, what concerns you about security and development right now? Well, as you say, violent conflict has come back to Europe and we are now in the 50th year of this conflict. And this is very much on top of our agenda in the OSCE because it creates tremendous suffering. It kills practically on a daily basis. It kills people, civilians, combatants. But it also undermines very severely trust and confidence among the key stakeholders of your Atlantic and Eurasian security. So it has a heavy toll on the ground in terms of suffering for the populations on both sides of the line of contact. But we also pay a very high political price for it. Luis Alberto, I'd like to turn to you now because we know that your bank is one of the large, or rather the largest long-term lender in Latin America and the Caribbean. What are your concerns about security and development? How do you see it progressing right now in your region? Well, it's paradoxical in the following sense and something Crystalina knows well. Latin America underwent a period in the 1980s, which was typically denominated as the lost decade because this was a time when you found many countries restructuring their debts with very low growth rates with many countries in recession for long periods of time. And there must have been, during that period alone, easily 10 or 12 financial crises. The paradox is that during that time, the crime rates were far lower than they are today. In fact, Latin America today, which has roughly about 8% of the world's population, has roughly 40% of the homicides of the world. And that is a very astonishing number. And if you look at it, just between the year 2000 and now, so almost in the last 20 years, it's almost two and a half million deaths, which is, if you just to put it in comparisons, that that's five times the number of people who have lost their lives in the Syrian Civil War or 25 times that of Iraq. So this is perhaps the most difficult issue Latin American governments have today. In fact, when you review what typical polls are done, much of the focus of people is not about jobs, not about their economic situation, but rather it's about issues of security and it's around issues of transparency. And so as a result, we as a bank have got to participate in this. We cannot do as a development bank anything surrounding the fence, but certainly everything around, helping to create citizenship, helping to work with police forces in how they are modernized, in working with communities, in working with the way people are put in jail, how the whole prison population is dealt with. But this is a very serious issue and certainly it's an issue that is yes across the emerging world, but nothing as acute as it happens in Latin America. Pinti, I'd like to turn to you to answer this next question because we know that you focus on women peace and security on the African continent. You're very much often the voice of the voiceless. What keeps you up at night when you think about security and development? I think I have spent most of my life in conflict zone because when we talk about conflict, the first continent you look at is Africa, unfortunately. But I also say that when you talk about SDG, it's a face of African women or a young African men. That's the reality. So for me is that when I wake up and I see the people suffering, I say, yes, something can be done. Something can be done when we look at this nexus what we're discussing between peace, security and development. For me in the middle there are the human being. Let me give you one or two examples. I recently visited last year, I went to Nigeria, northern Nigeria. This year with, I mean, I'm Mohammed, the deputy SDG. We did a joint mission to go to Lake Chad, Bacin. We did a joint mission. We went also to see other places like Chad, but also Niger and the situation of the people, the young people and the women in those camps to see what need to be done. Those countries are really investing, as I could see. Lake Chad, Bacin or the Sahel, they are investing a lot on the military. And when we look at it with the military, the little they have, maybe 4% of their GDP should be invested more than that on the people needs. The lake, for example, the lake Chad, the lake are shrinking. And I'm very happy that we are talking to WEF today because I think what is important is we shift the mindset and see how do we invest in those places? When we want to achieve SDG, we need to invest on people.  So here I'm talking to development agencies that are here, World Bank and others. What do we do? How do we respond to that? We went to a small village. The man was the one supposed to be in the lakes and bringing the fish and selling it outside. The job is no longer a man because it doesn't bring anything. So you found them unrolled with who? Boko Haram, because they don't find a job. They are no longer in the lake. And the women are the one, what they need? A small boat. So we need to invest in development seriously. And investment, I'm not just saying, just give them the small investment like we see, the poverty alleviation strategy that we used to see, but real investment. Because the real investment for me is those country have sun. I say electricity, bring them light because we can do that. It's possible. Great investment on the infrastructure. And this new technology. And this is something that I think that we want to explore further in our conversation. I think that there is currently investment. I know that Germany and France, for example, investing in the region involved there. But first, we'd like to actually turn to a poll that we conducted on Twitter. We actually wanted to gauge the mood and see perhaps what was important also for others when it comes to what do you think is most important to create global political stability? And here were the answers. Check this out. 40% of people said empowered civil society. 11% of people said strong diplomatic ties. And 49% said global economic stability. And Binta, I mean, really to your point, you're talking about investment. I'd also like to ask you, Luis Alberto, about that because I mean, that's also very much what you do. How do you see global economic stability contributing to political stability? Perhaps you can give us some examples of some success stories where you've seen it work and how perhaps those lessons can be applied and extrapolated upon. Well, certainly economic stability is a road towards other forms of stability, a country that is in deep recession, creates tremendous distresses on society that take many years to correct. This is what I was saying earlier about that decade of the 80s. It took a long, long time until societies were able to bring trust back again. So it's critical to have not only the economic stability but also society and the wider society today believing and trusting institutions. And this is, I think, probably the biggest gap that we have today. Technology is a way that can augment and make governments far more transparent. But this, more and more, it's made empowered citizens. And I see it certainly around Latin America, the telephone penetration, the numbers of smartphones, people today have no boundaries through the technology that they are offered. And as a result, they want to learn more. And there is a huge demand for knowledge. But at the same time, there's still a lot of lack of trusting institutions. Where does that lack of trust come? Partly from crime, partly from corruption. And this is at the heart of what creating that sense of unity that societies need that powers both economic growth and equally strong civil society. So you brought up technology there and you brought up trust. And Thomas, perhaps I can ask you because we've actually seen technology as a tool in Eastern Ukraine, for example, a very powerful one in order to promote disinformation, for example. And so I'm wondering what opportunities you might see to build trust. You always see, of course, a platform for dialogue. And in that sense, in a world where we are, again, facing a widening East West gap, we would very much argue for spaces, for genuine dialogue, to rebuild trust. And it all, I think, should start with, again, a serious attempt to listen to each other, trying to understand, acknowledge differences, identify areas where we identify areas where interests converge and then try to cooperate on those areas where we see this converging interests. And so try to rebuild trust and confidence. And then, but of course, at some point in time, and this takes us then back to Ukraine, we will have to also come to terms with these situations if we want to systematically tackle this trust issue. And I think it is a very fundamental issue right now. I think historically, we have never seen such a low in trust since, I would say, the early 80s of the Cold War. I want to talk a little bit more about moving beyond crisis response to also talking about crisis prevention, and turn to you, Kasselina. How do you promote that culture as a leader? Well, the obvious statement is that to have a conflict prevented in human suffering and economic costs is much better than to have to live through it. The economic case is very clear, $1 in prevention, $16 saved for the economy. But then the question is, how can we build this culture of prevention? And it goes to two things. One, the concentration of financial resources in countries that are lingering at the brink of a conflict and the determination to stay engaged, be there. There is simply no substitute for that courage of conviction and financial resources to be paired with this courage of convictions that could make the difference between a conflict exploding and a conflict actually receding. We have seen that happening. We also have seen the criticality of different parties coming together. And this is my second point. It is about partnerships. Of course, your screen tells us something that is a fact of life. They have to be people locally that feel strongly about achieving peace, right? And that engagement empowerment of bottom-up civil society organizations, women cooperatives, this is hugely important. But then we need to have the development community, the humanitarian community and political security community all coming together. We have been for far too long fragmented. You would have the development so-called actors, people like me, who say, let's see when the conflict is over, we will come and do very good development. And then you would have the humanitarian community that is there struggling, but would say these development people, they really don't understand insecurity. We have no space for that kind of fragmentation. We ought to come together and also benefit from new technologies that actually allow us to see the invisible, to pick up what comes from social media as a signal that something is going wrong. I would add to this a very simple message, put our money where our mouth is. We at the World Bank have dramatically increased financing in fragile situations. From, we have a fund for the poor countries. It used to be 7 billion three years ago, now it is 14 billion. And we are adding to this financing very targeted instruments that are, we know make a huge difference. For example, when the young men, sometimes women, but mostly men, decide to put down their guns, they have to have something to do with these hands. They have to be jobs. We have invested over a billion dollars in demilitarizing those who are coming out of a conflict, making sure they get into jobs. And I am actually, I look at the country like Rwanda and I say, yes it can be done. It can be overcome, but it requires locally the people to come to peace with each other and it requires the world to stand by them. And it requires one more thing, empowering women. What President Kagame has done by pushing for more women in positions of authority. Now they are like two-thirds of the parliament are women. This has gone a long way to make Rwanda a shiny example for the rest of the world struggling with conflicts. Very good, I'm very happy to see World Bank saying we invest on people. We don't help only infrastructure. We don't just support the member states, but you are going to invest on the people because even if you want to prevent, I think that is where we had that missing link. And that's where investment should be. When we talk about, and I talk about energy because I think we need to be at the weft to talk about the investment, the real investment. Bring the light to the people, investment. Bring water to the people, investment. How do you do that though in some areas where you might have bad governance for example? How do you get around that? You know, I was listening to the debate this year of the head of state, 55 who said we are going to fight corruption.  Because you empower the people and the people will be the one custodian of that policy that they have signed and it's great that they debate and say we are going to fight corruption and sign the policy but the accountability mechanism, you should put it in the people, in the hand of the people, the women and the young. They will be demanding and with the media now you can ask the chivalry, you can go out and talk about accountability. So empower the people and that is where the difference. Even when we talk about prevention, I have seen now in Africa when it come to elections so much violence into our election. Not just Africa but elsewhere. How do we want to prevent those? Is give the tools, empower them, help them make sure that the civic action be part of the parcel of that democratization in the continent. And tell us a little bit more about women being involved in that process. How important is that and how do you see progress on that as an issue? You know, I always say that when you give the power to the women you can see the difference. Great difference because we bring another value, we bring our own issues, we bring our humanity. I'm not saying that the men are not because we need to be working together and in ends but the women are the one that are the guardian of the society, especially in our culture in Africa. Number one. Number two, I wanted that we go back to the issue of industrialization. You talk about the Sahel, you talk about those region. I think like the World Bank but others institution, they have to put their head together and think the job creation but how do we, the raw material that we have in Africa, how do we transform them? And keep our young generation in the continent by making sure and being innovative. So that's why I'm very much interested to talk to the web today and to the World Bank because I'm saying it can be done. It should be done. There is, you just have few investors, bold enough, creative enough, courageous enough who can take risk. I think if we do that, and I'm sure that there are many, that can invest on that. Let's go to one place. Let's open something that is for the women in that places and make sure that you employ their children, employ them. And I'm sure that the benefit will be the development we are looking at right now. So I think the message that I'm hearing is that more can be done if we are working together and therefore, Luis Moreno, I'd like to ask you, what examples are you seeing in your region? Do you see opportunities for NGOs, private sectors, governments, even different regions, for example, because obviously there's a lot to be learned from Latin America as well to work together more? No question, and there is actually around the NGOs and foundations here through the Schwab Foundation. We have worked very closely and basically highlighting those people who are doing great work. And there's a lot of social innovation that has taken place in Latin America, things like the so-called conditional cash transfer programs which were focused on the notion that you have kids who were in the labor market underage and with government programs basically focused at the fact that not only do you want good health for those children and their mothers especially, but equally to transfer money from the government such that they completed high school programs. And through that, there's been a lot of social innovation taking place, for instance, a big movement led by businesses in many countries to improve the quality of education, to do it in using really open classrooms, ways where you can have what they call reverse classrooms where children do their homework in the class with the teacher and then here through massive online courses, different parts of the teacher training. So there's a lot of things that have happened in a whole host of areas where there's been a lot of social innovation in the area, for instance, of microcredit. Lots of things have happened there in the ways of how to monetize and turn remittances, which we are probably one of the regions of the world that receives the largest amounts of remittances. I'm talking here Hispanics or Latin Americans living outside of Latin America, be it the United States or Europe. So it is around programs like this working with the civil society that we have found very successful programs and we do work and do a lot of effort to reach out to those groups to bring them alongside programs that we are doing with government. Do you find that you have enough dialogue, though, with other regions, with other organizations? Would you like to see more of that, for example? Because, I mean, you're highlighting some success stories here. I think that people might be interested in that. No, definitely. And we certainly, we work a lot across, of course, with the World Bank, but equally with regional development banks, for instance, we're helping, supporting something. The Africa Development Bank is doing trying to bring investment into the African continent. We're bringing a good group of Latin Americans to be part of that and focused on energy. There's a lot of renewable energy solutions that have been developed in Latin America. So certainly, looking at everything that has been done, for instance, around education in Asia, there's a tremendous amount of expertise there, things that have been done around areas of logistics. Again, from Asia, bringing those experiences to Latin America. So this kind of cross fertilization across not only public policies, but equally how different groups who are in this space can work together. And we've done other things, like, for instance, with the Gates Foundation and the Carlos Slim Foundation, focused on the 25% of the poorest in Central America and the Caribbean for neonatal care and maternal reproductive health based on outcomes. So it's also using different business models or financial models that can be successful. A fascinating assessment of how it's working on the development front. Thomas, I'd like to turn to you now to ask you how it's working on the security front in terms of collaboration, in terms of seamlessness, because I was recently listening to General John Allen, the former coalition commander in Afghanistan speaking, and he really emphasized this seamlessness that is necessary, the communication between development and security, how the two go hand in hand, are intertwined, and it's difficult to make meaningful progress on one without the other. Do you think that we are getting better at that today? Is that communication getting better? I would certainly very much support this. I think it was late-secondary coffee on on that said that there is no security without development and no development without security. I think that is definitely very true. And at the OEC, we have a comprehensive approach to security. So we started living that from the early days on. If you look at the Helsinki Final Act of 1975, you realize that we have a security concept that is based on the one hand on heart security, but then also on economic and environmental aspects, and then on human rights, rule of law, democratic institutions. And I think that shows this already many years ago and shows this approach of trying to interlink security and development. I want to talk now about money, funding, how you achieve the sustainable development goals. And with that, I'd like to turn to you, Kristalina, because I know that you used to run the budget in Europe for humanitarian efforts. And right now, and perhaps you know the numbers a little bit better than I do, so please forgive me if I don't have them exactly, aid right now is something in the hundreds of billions, the cost of achieving the sustainable development goals. I noticed a big poster outside. It said that it was $7 trillion a year. That's a very big gap, isn't it? It is a huge gap. It is also a tremendous opportunity for those of us who work in development finance to rethink how we use the billions. And it has become a popular slogan for a reason, turning from billions to trillions by using public money to create the enabling environment for private investments to flow. We have this interesting solvable problem. On one hand, we have in the hands of people, businesses, countries, trillions in savings that are sitting idle. I was just so surprised that cash that we keep at home or under the mattress maybe in some cases totals some $5 trillion. So the question, the solvable problem is to create the incentive and the platform for this money to flow into the developing world. What is necessary for that? Well, this is not a miracle. It is very straightforward. One, you need in countries policies that give the investors certainty that if they invest, what they invest in is not going to be nationalized, bombed, lost. So that is very important for countries to do to create that certainty for the investor. Two, we need good projects. We need projects that you can actually see from the beginning to end, how it is structured, what would it do, how it is going to be procured, and implemented. And then three, we need to have the confidence of the people in the countries that this investor is not going to come and just rip them off. So in the end, when you look at it, it is all about trust and conditions for money to move. So institutions like ours, the development banks, we are fast transforming into a transmission line that creates these conditions for trust. We have right now on our books at the bank 72 projects that we structured that are dealing with institutional weaknesses, the project itself, bringing private investment, including from pension funds from long-term investors. Are we there yet? Not quite. Are we headed in the right direction? Yes, for sure. Luis Alberto, how do we get there? No, I look just to build on what Cristalina was saying. Another way of saying it is we basically have a platform that reaches countries in terms of their development needs. But clearly, there needs to be more. And we need to multiply and think that we are, for every dollar that we put in of our own financing, that we can bring some of the thousands and billions of dollars that are out there, or trillions. Like it's $85 trillion sitting in private pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies, and the rest. What we need to do is to begin to create all of the instruments that facilitate that money moving through our system. And that, I think, from the perspective of the owners of those savings, there's a tremendous appetite to do good with your savings. And the World Bank, we have done it, others have done it. When you go to the market and say, OK, this is a bond that will the proceeds of this bond will be devoted to a problem of health in any one country that we serve in the world. There's a tremendous appetite for that. There's a tremendous appetite for doing things around climate change, same thing.  So it is a question of how we mix that mismatch and how in these platforms that we have, we think of how we organize ourselves, such that every time we're doing projects, we have the incentives for our staff to think that it's not enough to just do a million dollar here or there, but rather to multiply that with other sources. So beyond development assistance, you feel that the private sector is willing? Well, I definitely think the private sector has a tremendous interest in being in. There are some issues of risk that we still need to continue to be smart in how we mitigate. If you're giving a loan to a country in a foreign, in US dollar-denominated debt, or is it in local currency, there's a big difference. Who takes that foreign exchange risk? You've got to understand those risks of the private sector. See which ones of those you can help mitigate by using what we call blended finance, which is using some of the development finance resources. And with that, multiply what we're doing. So this is what we are all collectively wrestling with. But I think we are, as Cristalina correctly said, we're in the right direction, but we're way behind where we should be. If I may, just two very quick additional points to that. One is examples, because you're saying, OK, is this really happening? Take solar in Africa. It used to be so expensive that it didn't really make economic sense. But then we built this kind of platform in which we aggregated all projects possible and we said to the private sector, here is certainty. There will be a consumer and there would be that minimal price. And guess what? The cost of delivering solar in Africa has collapsed. It is now so cheap that it is abundant. And the question is how to continue to scale it up, one example, to women. So we know women are fantastic in terms of paying back money they borrow. So we are now, a phone could be a device to spread hate and anger. But the phone can be a bank. And what we have done is massively increased small credits for women entrepreneurs. And you can see how that transforms communities and makes that link between your savings and a woman in, say, Kenya makes that link possible. And since this is for Deutsche Welle Bravo to Germany, Germany created the so-called Compact with Africa. And it is all about that, good policies, more investments. And Vinta, I see you nodding your head, of course, next to me, especially when we were talking about the Partish with Germany. And I just want to mention, because you recently convened, I know, the second forum for the Africa Women Leaders Network. And this was done with the support of Germany, we know. We're talking a lot about what more can be done. We talked about where more money could come from. And I'm just wondering from your perspective also, who would you like to see more done from? I mean, is it a matter of Europe investing more in Africa? From which areas would you like to see more? I think Africa have to invest in Africa. You know, we have, let me just explain. Africa, it's a paradox. Everybody talk about Africa being the continent poor. And it is poor, the people are poor. But it's the richest continent when you look at the resources that we have. We always say that let's go back to the basic for women and the young people to support them to go to the sector that we know better. I'm coming from a village. And we used to, in our land, to be agriculture. Let's go to the basic. Let's feed our people. Let's make sure that our population don't die of hunger. So for me is the expertise that Europe have. And I'm very glad that with the Madam Angela Merkel, we started looking into Africa Women Leaders Network in Africa as Africa. How do we support African women to take it from there? When we talk about microcredit, it's great because women pay back. But we are also looking into women that are capable to manage funding, bigger funding. We know that women pay back even with the microcredit. But let's look at more bigger resources that Africa have. So when you ask me this question of where do we want Europe to come in? It's the building the skills of the African. But also allowing African that are migrants to facilitate that came back and be part of the transformation of our continent. Some countries have a huge growth rate. Many of them we could see because we are building infrastructure port, it's airport and so on. But also let's build the capacity of the people when it comes to health, when it comes to education, when it comes to, you name them. So this is what we need to learn from Europe. So we think that Europe can help Africa to go back to the basic. Either we say that land issues, let's go back and get to where Europe is known for that. Let's also transform our industries. The small, we don't have those small and medium enterprises. They are, it's growing now with the young people. But let's invest on that so. So many calls on this stage and I'm really hearing this for just more to be done generally speaking. And Thomas, therefore I'd like to ask you because as the OSCE, you very much have this need to respond to crisis very quickly. And there is a call right now, I think it's fair to say that the OSCE do more. How do you feel about that? Well, we have developed over the years an impressive toolbox in terms of conflict prevention. That is what you refer to as early warning, early action. We have tools for instance to prevent minority related conflict. The High Commissioner on National Minority. We have quite some tools in terms of preventive diplomacy. That is one offer. And then of course tools to manage conflict. Make sure that the conflict does not spin out of control. That is typically what we are currently doing in the Donbass but also in Nagorno-Karabakh, in Georgia, in Transnistria. But then we also try to bring these conflicts closer to resolution. Here you need tools on the one hand but you also need political will by the parties if you want to resolve these conflicts. And then thirdly, we have also tools that I would argue fall into the category of peace building. And that is very much about contributing to building strong institutions. Democratic institutions, institutions in the area of rule of law. Which again I think then contribute to an enabling environment for economic activities for investments. That is what the OEC has on offer. At the end of the day it depends on our clients, on participating states to call on these tools. You cannot impose particularly not conflict management tools on anybody. But again, we have instruments, we have institutions, we have 16 field presences and they have quite something on offer. So it's a matter of political will and building that political will as well. And ladies and gentlemen, I'd just like to say that for our session I would like to leave us on a positive note perhaps. We don't have so much time left but in the time left that we do have I'd like to ask all of our panelists two questions. What's on your wish list and what do you think that we can achieve together this year in terms of security and development? So wish list, what can we achieve this year? This is our action plan because we're moving from crisis response to crisis prevention. Kristalina. What is on my wish list is the ability of the world to stay focused. A conflict when it is on the front page grabs our attention. When it slips on the last page or out of sight but it is still there we do not achieve sustainable peace. So that is on my number one on my wish list is conflicts are often protracted. They flare, they calm down, they flare again. Our attention tends to be with a short span. Fix it, stay focused for as long as it takes so there can be sustainable peace. Well, I just kind of building on the same. I think the fundamental issue is that sometimes we know problems are happening and we're slowing reacting to them and as we are slowing reacting to them they only get worse. So a little bit of saying the same in a different way what Kristalina was saying. Improves speed. So definitely the speed we have for instance right now is a big humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. People living and going throughout the hemisphere. The World Bank did a fascinating fund to support people who are going largely from Syria to Jordan and to Lebanon.  The more you let it fester the more these problems become bigger. And secondly, I think the capacity to get that focus and the quick reaction of governments to deal with these problems becomes essential. What can we achieve within the next year? I hope that we can continue to keep this focus on the need that on these development issues you really have to think out of the box but work together. Thomas, I'd like to ask you what's on your wish list. What do you think we can achieve? Enlightened political leadership, political leaders that are ready to reinvest in a rule-based global order in strong multilateral institutions. That's on my wish list. And what I would wish could be achieved or what I hope could be achieved within the next year, well, progress in moving towards resolving the conflict in and around Ukraine, implementing the Minsk agreements. I think that is so fundamental. Taking inspiration from the progress in the Transnistrian settlement process where we can see that if there is political will by the parties, if the international community pushes in the same direction, progress is even possible in a protractive conflict. Vinta, what's on your wish list? When I started one thing, when I started being this special envoy of the African Union, few countries had a plan of action on women, peace and security. Right now I have helped 22 countries in Africa with the women, peace and security agenda for women to participate. For me, when women contribute to peace and security, I think we have a sustainable peace and development. And my wish is to make sure that all African members say it's have a plan of action. I started with 22, but if I am able to get more African people, countries, women contributing, being part of mediation, in prevention, women leaders in all spheres of life, I think we will get there. So my wish is to make sure that that agenda of women, peace and security is widespread in Africa. And on that positive note, I would like to say I hope that we provided a bit of insight today on the importance of security and development. And I think that we have some hopeful messages that we leave with today. You've been watching the Deutsche Belle Debate at the World Economic Forum in New York. Many thanks to our panelists here today. And we do hope for progress on these issues. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Parliament session, during the last Parliament session, we had raised this issue of Pegasus and because we felt that it was an attack on the democratic structure, on the foundations of our nation and we had jointly blocked Parliament. So today the Supreme Court has given its opinion and basically supported what we were saying. What we were saying, we were asking three basic questions, who authorized Pegasus? Which agency, which person authorized Pegasus? As we all know, Pegasus cannot be bought by a private individual, it has to be bought by a government, it is a weapon. So our first question was who authorized Pegasus? Our second question was who are the victims of Pegasus, who is it used against? Because there is a list of people including politicians, opposition leaders, BJP members, Supreme Court people, so there is a Chief Justice of India, there is a list of people. So we asked who are these people that have been attacked? And the final thing was, and I think this is a very important thing, did any other country have access to information of our people? Were they privy, was this data kept with them? And we did not get any answer, in fact no reply was given to us. Pegasus is an attempt to crush Indian democracy, it is an attempt to make sure that the vibrancy of the democracy, the conversation they take place in a democracy are crushed and people are controlled. So it is a big step that the Supreme Court has said that they are going to look into this matter. I am confident that we will get the truth out of this. So if you have any questions, in the, sorry, in the session of parliament, Pegasus was the one who raised the issue, Pegasus is an attack on the institutions of the country, and we asked three questions, who bought Pegasus, because Pegasus cannot buy a private party or an individual, Pegasus can only buy a government, this is a weapon, and we asked who gave authorization to the government, who signed off, the second question was, who put Pegasus on whom, on whom people were tapped, on whom their phones were infected, because there is a list in which the name of Chief Justice, the name of the CEO, the name of the opposition leaders, the name of the MPs of the BJP, the name of many activists, so we asked which people were used, and the last question, which is a very important question, is the data of Pegasus, was it with any other country, or only with the Indian government, when we did not get the answer, we stopped the parliament, jointly, together, we stood together and we stopped the parliament, at that time you also said, see, the government is running the parliament, why are the Congress party and Vibhaksha stopping, we stopped it because it is an attack on our country, it is an attack on our people, and our vibrant democracy is an attempt to destroy it, now if you have any questions, then ask, we will start with you, PTI, well of course, this is now going to be looked at by the court, but as I said, central institutions of this country were attacked by Pegasus, we all know that that is not the only attack that is taking place, there are many different ways in which the idea of India is being attacked, Pegasus is of course a particularly nasty and subversive way of doing it, it is a way basically to control the politics of the country, to frighten people, to blackmail them into not doing what they are supposed to do, not allowing the democratic process to work, for us, we are quite happy that the Supreme Court has accepted to look into this, there is the institution of parliament where we will raise this again, and we will try to have a debate in parliament, I am pretty sure the BJP would not like that debate, so they will make sure that that debate is told, but we will try to hold that debate, and then we will tell the people of India that the idea of India is being attacked. Thank you, Siddharth, from A&I, but now it is in the court matter, so it is being enquired, but we want it to be discussed in parliament, and look, Pegasus or Prime Minister has ordered, or Home Minister has ordered, no other person can order this, and if the Prime Minister has attacked our country with another country, then we want to hear the Prime Minister's opinion, because if we see legally, then Pegasus is illegal, it is not legal in India to do snooping using Pegasus, so we would like to know why the Prime Minister is doing an illegal act, he is not above the nation, he is not above the institutions, was this information that was coming, the data that Pegasus was getting, there were chief ministers, former prime ministers, the data that was coming, what was the Prime Minister getting, what was the Home Minister being given, we want to know, because if the election commission's phone is being tapped, if its data goes to the Prime Minister, if the data of the CEC, the data of the opposition leaders, goes to the Prime Minister, this is a criminal act, there is no other way of putting this, so we will follow that also. Thank you, one second, let me go to Sunil first, and I will come for the second round of question. Look, the court is going to look into this matter, and I am no one to comment on the action of the Supreme Court, and what they choose to do, I hope they will do their job and provide justice, but this is a deeper problem, right, as I said, if the Prime Minister of India was privy to this information, I see it is one thing if you are using Pegasus to find out about terrorism, you are using Pegasus to find out about national security, that is a different issue, there are questions even about that, but that is a different issue, but if the Prime Minister is using this as a personal tool, meaning if the data is arriving on the Prime Minister's desk, then that is totally criminal, right, and we will follow that up, we will make sure that that is followed up. Thank you, Raman from News 24. Sarkaray, sorry, governments have been dropped, right, governments have been dropped in Karnataka, the government was dropped using Pegasus, So, Supreme Court's decision is, so why won't they agree, but our three or four questions, we need an answer to this, who ordered this, whose data was being given, and on what basis was this ordered, but it is definitely a good step. Thank you, sir, ashtak. No, this issue is the opposite, right, this is an issue where the government of India is attacking the national security of the country, right, our data, Indian data, data especially of senior people being handed to a foreign country is an attack on the national security of this country, so if it is in case, if it is true that this data is held outside India, data of our Chief Election Commissioner, our opposition leaders, our Chief Minister is held outside India, then the government of India has attacked India itself, so there is no question of hiding behind national security, this is national security, they are attacking national security. Thank you, sir, Ashish. That of course, I mean, if we cooperate, why not cooperate, but the government cannot answer, because the truth is, it is an illegal action and only two people can have done that action, third person cannot have done that action. Mr. Gadkari cannot have taken this decision, right, some other minister could not have taken it, the prime minister or the home minister has authorized this, my guess is they will not get an answer, it will be very difficult for the government to answer these questions. Thank you, Mr. Dubey. Thank you, Mr. Mukesh Koshy. I think now it is in the hands of the Supreme Court, so we have to respect that. If the Supreme Court is looking into it and then we say, okay, now also we are going to look into it, I don't think that would be an appropriate response. I think now it is in the highest court in the country. Let's see what they do. Also, political bigwigs, that is not the point. Here, the institutional structure of India, there is the election commission, there is the parliament, there are the chief ministers, this is our local constitution, this is the agreement on it. So this is not just a political matter, this is an existential matter for the country. This is the reason why you are looking at a kind of muted opposition. So this is the agreement on the local constitution and these two people have mastered it. And the idea of India from 1947 to 1947, that this country will be a democratic, democratic country in which our citizens will get protection, in which our media will get protection, in which all our people will get privacy, this is the agreement on it. And this is one way of that agreement, there are different ways too, in which the ED is being used, in which the CBI is being used, in which the discussion is not being allowed in the parliament, these are all different ways that the idea of India is going to be destroyed, of course, of course, yes, yeah. Thank you.


And please welcome Lucas Zeng with stories of improvisation. It starts to be an interesting story here. When I was a kid, I used to travel with my parents and my brother a lot. So once we went to Mexico and my father always planned the trips in advance, so he started a year before to read traveling books and to organize the whole trip. And that was great because we had the benefit of seeing beautiful places and felt safe because we saw everything that we wanted to see. But when I started to travel, I did it very differently. So for example, I went to Mumbai, India with some friends. And the only thing we did is to buy a ticket and fly there without having any plan. Now when we arrived there, the airlines told us that they lost our baggage. So we found ourselves strolling through the streets in Mumbai and I felt the freedom to decide every moment what to do next. So I loved it so much. And the Indian people came to us and showed us some hotels and so we co-created the traveling process on the way. And that was very different, as you can imagine, like my father did the planning. But even he couldn't plan everything. So when he was 41, the same age I am now, he came to our kitchen and told us that he was just diagnosed with cancer. And he told us that the doctors told him that they have to remove his leg in the next days. And as a 10-year-old boy, I was just shocked. And like, where do you have to cut it off? The next week, they removed his leg and he survived. There was nothing good about that. It was unexpected and the whole family struggled a lot. But even in these situations, sometimes you find situations in which you have a bit of fun. So my father was courageous enough to go to the next carnival as a pirate. And he dressed as the best pirate ever without having hair and just having one leg. Now people asked him, how do you do that? How do you hide your legs so well? And when he said, well, I had cancer, you can imagine they were a bit shocked. So as a kid, I experienced what it means to feel the security of having a plan, the excitement of exploring the world, but also to deal with negative life events. So when I started to improvise in theatre, it was due to the fact that I just cannot remember text, so I couldn't be an actor in movies or in classical theatre. But here I felt the same freedom like in Mumbai because we could co-create a story out of nothing and decide every moment what comes next. And then I realized over the 15 years of performing, that here I apply improvisation in theatre. But I also applied improvisation in travelling and applied improvisation when I played music because I didn't want to play music from the sheet. Why should I play something that already existed? That didn't make any sense to me to just play it. And when I started to lecture at university, in the beginning I planned everything, every minute what to do just to feel secure. But over the years I applied improvisation in lecturing. Nowadays I often ask students what is the topic you want to discuss about? And so I understood that you can apply improvisation in different domains because improvisation means, from the word, improvisers, unforeseeable. So we deal with unforeseeable events. And if you distinguish that from planning, that means that if you plan you design something, a script and a gender, and then you execute it. Because we're improvising, we're designing and executing ads at the same time. So improvisation as a human action means like a novel action undertaking in a short amount of time. And when I understood that, we started in a research team let's investigate the phenomenon on improvisation as a human action. And we started to conduct interviews with very many different people all over the world from different domains to ask about their stories on improvisation. For example, Amy Adminzen, who developed psychological safety, that means in a nutshell, that you feel safe in a team to take interpersonal risk. And she connects psychological safety with improvisation. So now you perhaps can hear her, I don't yet. I look at the technician if they can change that. So this was the music played. And as you can see, she's a professional dancer as well. So while the technician has stressed and tried to figure out what is happening, you can now hear her real voice. So safety is profound and very real. In fact, I have thought about improvisation for years as one of the core types of learning in organizations, you know, collective collaborative learning where one is continuous improvement, one is innovation, and the third is improvisation. And improvisation, just as you say, is that sort of problem solving on the fly almost necessarily collaborative because we each have a piece of the puzzle. And because it's collaborative and because it involves uncertainty and experimenting and having things sometimes work but sometimes not work, that means it necessarily brings an element of risk, an interpersonal risk or interpersonal fear. So in order to do it well, I've got to get over myself. I can't be worried about how do I look. I have to worry about what are we trying to get done and what do I bring and what do you bring. And then we've got to be absolutely candid and clear and brave, and that takes psychological safety. So thank you for your improvised episode right now. And now I try to go to the next slide. Oh, here we go. So you can also apply improvisation entrepreneurship. So I conducted an interview with Alex Osterwalder who developed, for example, the business model canvas. And he said, as an entrepreneur, you have to improvise all the time. As an entrepreneur, you have problems every day, every hour, every minute, and they always come from the unexpected. You need to do something and you often need to improvise, but you only get better at it over time. So today, I'm better at improvising not because I got a lot smarter but I got a lot more experienced. So I think we take improvisation for, oh, that's a talent. It's not just a talent. It's the skill that you learn over time. And now we're already trained with all the technician and light and stuff. So I also interviewed Patricia Maitzen, who lectured for more than 30 years at Stanford University in improvisation. And she applied improvisation in life. Such as that odd rule of go along with it. It's not about agreeing, but it's about opening yourself to opening yourself to the idea of the offer that's there and respecting the person that gave it. We've lost respect in some ways for one another and have pulled into ourselves and are taking care of ourselves. So improv reminds us that we have to shift the attention from ourselves onto our partners and the reality and whatever is going on in room. Yeah, we're respecting the others. But there are sometimes even emergency situations. So I conducted an interview with the police task force and he said, of course you had a lot of basic training but sometimes that routine kills. And he meant that because you just think it always be this way and then something different happens. So during the interview I thought I would test that. So I clapped into my hands during the interview and said, now imagine somebody just shot us. What do you do now? And he's calm and that was amazing. And he said, Lucas, you just pointed there. There's no building and I haven't heard any helicopter. But okay, let's assume there was somebody shooting at us. Well, you don't have a weapon and I don't have a weapon. So I pull you below there because there's a wall two meter thick and then we just wait because we're now at the police department and in a minute my colleagues will come and rescue us. So I understood that he really had already the mindset to improvise. Now all of these stories are amazing and very different but we had the sense there's some patterns behind that. So we started to analyze them. So four researchers of us started to analyze every bit and piece of these interviews trying to understand the patterns behind that. And one of the main factors that we called real-time doing and one person said, when you're really improvising you're living in a place where you seriously don't know what's happening going to come next and you're writing, directing and acting really in the moment. Now this factor consists of many sub-factors that you perhaps already know by heart. You have to deal with uncertainty to adapt to changes to prepare yourself if possible. You apply experiences, experience and creating new ideas you have to accept offers and if possible make use of processes. So this is a pretty complex phenomenon that we found and then we found that there are even more factors coming out of the interviews and that we call learning and training. So improvisation is not magic, it's not just pure talent. It's actually experiences. So the more experience you have the better you'll get at improvisation. So guess what? There are improv classes. Why? Because you can get better at it. And again we found some sub-factors explaining what that means. So first you have to learn the basic skills as a researcher, entrepreneur or actor-actress. But then you need the muscles to improvise. You learn from role models. You understand and playing the patterns in this domain and you have to deal with mistakes for example if the slides doesn't work as you expected that and reflect on experiences. But then we got one more step because we found out it's really a complex phenomenon and if you think of what I'm doing there are a lot of emotions, like positive emotions if you explore things and it's exciting but sometimes you're also frustrating and get over that and survive on stage for example. And learning and training helps you to be better at that so you create a mindful awareness, being aware of yourself, of the other person and the situation that is changing all the time and to create a mindset that is open and that helps you to improvise in that very moment. And while learning something in the field you also have outside effects that mean that if you can improvise in theatre you learn also to improvise in live or different domains. And based on that it's collaboration. A radical way of collaborating on stage or being a police force that you even feel like an entity that is bigger than your ego. And it's surrounded by embedded environments like here, a community that supports each other and has a specific culture or a team that has or has not psychological safety so that we can take interpersonal risks. But this is not the end of the research it's rather the start for us to do research because it's just one more puzzle piece. And so right now we're trying to find out how the improvisational mindset influences the creative process. So we'll invite you later on to go on this website and do a 10-minute test to explore the creativity and improvisation. And my two colleagues are here, Günther and Nicole and they will also help you if you have any questions on that test. And we can apply that also for learning and training at universities. So the last four years we developed a one-week course on business improvisation in which from Monday to Friday every day from 9 to 5 students and managers learn to improvise with different trainers and they change every year. To understand and to learn to experiment improvisation because I think this is a skill that is very helpful in the world we're living right now. But there's nothing like improvisation is only good or bad. As planning it's not just good or bad it depends on the situation when it is better to improvise and when it is more appropriate to plan.  But we just planned to come to Spain, have a hotel and a restaurant and a pool because everyone who has kids know you improvise all the time and I do understand my parents much better now that sometimes it's great to just have a plan. However, I offered my son 20, 30 when he's 15 and I'm 50 I offered him to go somewhere in the world and to travel around the world in an improvised way and I think this is a great plan. But based on all these stories and experiences that had in my life I know part that life is not okay. Thank you.


Hello all you wonderful people, my name is Broogly and in today's video I'm going to be talking about another backroom's level, shocker. This level is called Backroom's Level 466 or Fire Lit Longing and this one is extremely interesting and it's very unique because it's split up into three different biomes. So if you enjoy that type of thing then I think you're going to really enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and supporting me and let's get into the video shall we? Also if you didn't see the last video I do have a third channel where I'm going to be doing SCP readings and cryptid encounters from real life. There's already two videos up and the channel is already 8,000 subscribers so go over there and help me get to 10k if you enjoy. Now let's get into the video. Backroom's Level 466 doesn't have a classification but some parts of it are entity-infested and some parts are safe. So we'll just call it a Class Variable. The level itself looks like a big expanse of countryside that's always at dusk or almost night time. The level also has big areas of fields, valleys and woods as well as some plains like the grass plains not the airplanes. The temperature is like from springtime here and hovers around 44 degrees Fahrenheit or just around 7 degrees Celsius. On top of this cool temperature there's also a bunch of rainfall all the time and not just normal rainfall, there's sometimes really heavy storms that just pop up and last for hours. Sometimes it can be extremely heavy with thunder and lightning and sometimes it can just be soft showers. It really just depends on where you're at in the level. Like I said at the beginning of the video, this level is split up into three specific parts. The plains, the lakes and the forests. Each of these areas have different environments and different types of creatures that live there and they all have dangerous parts too. So now I'll get into explaining those. So first up is the plains which are the most common types of biomes on this level. They're also the biggest type of biome size wise. The plains are big open hills and flatlands and rolling meadows that spread over the majority of this level and the grass here seems to be normal grass from real life. Sometimes there are dirt paths that are carved into the hills and stuff but these aren't everywhere, they're just some places. And the only species of entity that lives here in the plains are called fire lights which are kind of like fireflies but instead of being you know cute glowing bugs these are aggressive glowing bugs. So don't go near them if you can help it. The second area of this level is the lakes which is also the second biggest area size wise. The lake zones are for the actual water itself and the land around it. So it's not just the water, it's the land and the water but the actual lakes aren't even deep and they're pretty small too. They're around eight meters deep or around 26 feet which is really shallow for a normal real life lake if you know anything about water. And this water has nothing in it, it's no fish, none of that stuff that we know of anyways there could be some kind of monster. But the dangerous part of the lakes is how cold the water is because it stays at around 26 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 3 degrees Celsius which would literally be so cold to get into especially since there's never any sun on this level it's always nighttime dusk so just don't get in the water. Now entities do live in the woods around the lake but the lake water itself there's no entities so you can just not go in there. So I would recommend not going there either way I mean who wants to get in water in the back rooms I don't know. The last zone are the forests which of course are the forests. These areas are the smallest in size but they're also the most dangerous parts of the level. The trees are thick and they grow close together and a weird thing that's been found out is that the trees don't have rings inside of the bark so normal trees in real life have these rings inside of them which show how old they are how many years they've been growing but the trees on this level literally don't have rings so there's no way to tell how old they are or where they came from or that kind of stuff and like I said earlier these forest zones are where the entities on this level live the dangerous entities to be exact and because of that it is recommended to not go anywhere near the woods unless you want to get attacked by something I mean why would you want to walk into thick dark woods in the back rooms I mean why the specific entities in these woods are hounds which actually on this level form packs of five to ten instead of just wandering around alone so they're a bunch of them in different places which totally isn't terrifying or anything like that there's also entities called camo crawlers which are large humanoid animals with four arms if you've never heard of them they also live here and they're really aggressive just like the hounds are but just don't go in the woods and you don't have to deal with it simple as that on top of these three zones the level has some unexplainable phenomena that happen some of these weird encounters manifest themselves as houses or apartment buildings that cannot actually be gotten to or accessed at all you can't physically get to them but you can see them on the horizon in the planes or by the lakes these buildings don't actually exist physically at least you can't you can't get to them but they can be seen sometimes and as far as we know the buildings don't cause any actual harm but if you're looking at a ghost building I'm pretty sure to make you feel uneasy the closer you get to these ghost buildings the more they disappear so no one knows why they appear no one knows what they are it's just a weird quirk of the level there's one outpost here since the level is pretty safe outside of the woods and it's called Lantern Town and it was founded in 1985 near a lake in this level to enter you can jump in a puddle on level 39 or you can walk into the forest of level 220 and to exit you can find what seems to be a really old looking tree and walk into it to be sent to level 47 so yeah that was level 466 I hope you enjoyed it thank you for watching until the end of the video I appreciate you all thank you so so much for 350k that number is literally just insane to me and I'm really appreciative to every single one of you as many of you know at 500,000 subscribers I am buying the full backroom's outfits pants shirt hat socks and I'm making a video in it so if you want to see that you can help me get there by subbing check the description below for any links you need like Twitter discord to ugly and spookly right now I'm actually working on a Trevor Henderson's creatures video for spookly and I really think you guys are gonna like the series going on over there about the SCP Foundation Trevor Henderson creatures cryptid encounters I have a bunch in the works get ready for that go sub turn the design it's gonna be crazy thank you for the support over there and thank you all for the support everywhere across the channels thank you so much I really appreciate all of you the channel is just going crazy and we're on track to hit 500,000 by the end of the year and I'm just so blessed to have all of you as fans thank you so much I cannot say it enough I say it every video but I literally that's not enough I just cannot find a way to thank you besides just saying thank you so I appreciate all you do I look forward to seeing you all in the next video and I will see you then peace I'll see y'all later


I'm going to go over five things that are going to stop you from going to the next level. Now at the end, I'm going to give you a little bonus. Stay tuned. All right, guys. Check this out. So this is going to be five things that most salespeople undervalue.  Let's say you had $10,000 to invest, and you went in to invest this $10,000, $100,000, a million, whatever, a thousand for some of you.  So you walk into a building, and there's a guy that's got a building that says, investor.  What would you do? You haven't even had the opportunity to hear him out yet. But because he doesn't look like he plays the role, you automatically remember people make decisions two ways. Logically and second, with their gut, they automatically, and you would automatically with your gut say, maybe I'm not in the right place. Look, how do your customers think when they see you?  It's not what I'm saying. But I think that right now you can look in the mirror, and there's five things I bet that you're undervaluing right now. At the end of this video, I'm going to give you something special.  But I want you to stay with me, and I want you to pay attention. If you really want to become one of the top one percenters, one of the best high achievers, you want to be an expert and a guide to your customers before you even get the chance to say hello, they get to take a two-second judgment over you. I want that judgment to be great. This is going to be the first one. Undervalued by salespeople. Number one, looking like a pro. Looking like a pro.  Do customers judge you when they pull up to the lot? Absolutely. Just like you're judging them when they pull up. Can they buy? How's their credit? Are they upside down in their car? Man, that looks like a car that's six months old that just came out. I wonder if they're trying to trade it in.  They've got things going through their head. Is this guy like my last sales guy? You know what I'm saying? Look, this guy looks like he mowed the yard. First thing I do is I see your shoes. Think about it. You have got to prepare yourself to be battle tested on the front line. So looking like a pro, we're going to talk about that before we get into acting like a pro. I'm going to tell you one of the first things people see is a starch press clothes. Guys, look, man, when I sold cars, I was always in a suit all the time. It was very rare that I wore a polo. I always dressed sharp. Guys, I grew up in Oklahoma. It was 100 degree weather all the time. I was always pressed nice and sharp, nice and clean.  Now look, when you show up on your first day of work, most people are dressed their nicest they've ever been dressed. And then by three weeks, what happens is they start to fall apart and revert back to like the laziest dress code you've ever seen. Day one, people want to show up either at the interview or the job to impress. So I'm sitting here and I'm with the GM and an owner and we're hiring some phenomenal people. But some of the people showed up and I'm not saying that you should have like the highest budget in the world, but go through your closet, whatever you have, you don't have to have our money or Gucci, man, you could have a dollar shirt from the dollar store. Seriously, can you iron it? Can we get a press on it? Can we get an iron? Can you iron your slacks?  Can you iron them for me? Can you make them look sharp? Can you clean your shoes? Can you make them look sharp? Look, there's some things that you have to do. If you want to really do well and go get in life with what you want, you have to play the part. Look, there's a term that says fake it till you make it. I know you've heard it before.  I'm asking you this, can you press your clothes, please? From this point forward, if you haven't focused on that, I'm going to tell you this. You're missing out on probably half of your income, not pressing and starting your clothes and looking sharp. Number two, we're going to talk about shining your shoes. Look, the way I grew up in, and I'm 41 years old at the time we're making this video, was this. Every week, we had a shoe shine guy come through and he'd come through the deal. He'd go shoe shine, you know what I'm saying? And dude, everybody knew that that guy, if you didn't take care of your shoes, boy, he'd rag you out, man.  He'd be like, boy, you must be the last one on the board. Look at these shoes, man. You know what I'm saying?  Pick your feet up, man. You were supposed to be a hustler, man. I'm telling you right now, I learned from that shoe shine guy that any time I'm talking to a businessman, I always look right in his shoes, okay? Because if he don't have time to take care of his shoes, he don't have time to take care of me. I'm just telling you, I look at you before I look at how you're going to take care of me. And if your shoes are nice and shine and your clothes are nice and pressed and you look clean, then there's a pretty good chance that you'll take care of me because I can see how you take care of yourself. Let's go on to the third one, all right? Smell good. Listen. Hey, I'm allergic to smoke. I hate it. It's disgusting. Hey, not saying that you shouldn't smoke if that's what you want to do. It's your body. But let's talk about it.   You know, I know this. It's obviously, I have an automotive channel that most of the time when a customer comes into the lot, if you open the door on a car and it smells like smoke, what do they do?  What do you think they do with you when you smell like smoke?  I'm just telling you. This is the truth. I can't even screw this guy. You don't like me because I smoke? I'm just telling you the truth. You got to look at yourself right now. Do you stink?  Right? You got to smell clean.  No, man. Make sure that if you smoke, don't smoke while you're at work, okay?  Dude, you don't, man.  I'm just being honest with you. And look, if I've offended you, I'm sorry, I want you to make more money. Look, I love you. I love every single one of you, so I'll be the one that tells you the truth, okay? Sharpen shoes. Dress nice and press clean. Smell good. Let's go to the fourth one. Clean haircut. Guys, can we get a haircut? Can you look sharp? Can we get a haircut, please? This is probably one of the biggest deals out there. I see a lot of people that run way past new on a haircut. Most people need a haircut every single week. Me? I got short hair. I know it sounds crazy, but I get my hair cut every single week. I like to keep it short. I keep it tight. Kind of like military style. Here's my goal with you. Well, however your hair is, fix it. Take care of yourself. Make sure that you take care of your hair, put products in it, make it look smooth.  If you're playing at your best version, then they're thinking that you're going to give them your best. Does that make sense? Okay. I hope that this video is helping you as you're looking in the mirror and identifying the person that you want to be. All right? Let's go over here. Number five. Clean shave. This is a big one, okay? And you say, man, Andy, look at that. You shot a video on clean shave and you're not clean shaved. Well, here's the deal. I've been training all week long, every day nice and slick. Every day I've been in a suit every single day. I'm here in my conference room, which is my home. I'll be at work and when I fly out and do training, we do master clothes or seminars here, I'm always nice and tight and shaved. And we are in the beard era. So here's my deal. If you have facial hair, keep it looking tight. Don't have scragglies running all over. Man, if you're going to have a nice man beard, clean that stuff up, man. Make it look great. If you have a nice groomed beard, man, that's a great thing. That looks awesome. But whenever somebody has a beard that's going out of control and they look like they just woke out of bed and stuff's going all over the place, it ain't cute. There's nothing cool about it.  You think I'm going to take your best advice on a rough day? Absolutely not. So with that being said, guys, these are the five things that will show you how to look like a pro, dress like a pro. If you just block in these five, you will one up the salespeople all around you. All right, guys, so like I promised you, I said, if you made it till the end of the video, I would hook you up with something. This is what I want to do for you. So when I sold, I made over 700 grand of your selling cars. I always time block my day. You would agree, all these things are possible, but you got to make time for them. You'll always make time for what's a priority. So what I wanted to give you is this. I have a weekly crush at Planner that I created and I made for myself when I sold cars. As I dialed myself in, my biggest month ever selling cars, my biggest month, guys, it only averaged 70 cars a month selling cars. So I wasn't some 200 car guy. I always learned you can deposit money in the bank and not units. So 70 was plenty enough for me, but my biggest month ever selling, I made about 75 grand. That was my biggest month, record for income. Now I want to say this to you as a salesperson. I want to say this to you, this is important. I put out a weekly crush at Planner where I physically dial out every single thing and how to time block your day to make sure stuff like this doesn't get overlooked.  The idea of it is, is this, people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. So what happens is as you think that you have a plan in place, if you really don't, well, you're just winging it as you go. So I've put together a weekly crush at Planner that I used when I sold cars. I self-designed it for me when I sold. And I want to give it to you guys. It doesn't cost you anything. I'm going to give it to you for free. Now you can go to my website and you can actually buy the hardback book, the weekly crush at Planner. But I want to give you the PDF for free. That way I can email it to you. It's really simple. You can print it out and then use it for a couple of weeks. Use it every week. I always say there's 52 weeks in a year. People want to win the war. I just want to win one battle at a time. A lot of people's battle is like month to month. But the deal is how many times have you seen a salesperson have a bad week and then fall apart and just hope that the next month it was here so they could start over. I just went week to week.  Bad week will restart it, right? Sales people have to do that. So I focused on weekly goals, not monthly goals. So I created what it's called is the weekly crush at Planner. And by the way, see the cell phone right here? If you'll text the<PHONE_NUMBER>, which is my personal cell phone, it just text me this. Say, please send me the weekly crush at Planner. That's all I need you to say. Hey, text me your name, say what's up.  But the idea of it is I'd love to have a conversation with you. Maybe we'll jump on a phone call. But the idea of it is that I want to send you my weekly crush at Planner for free. Doesn't cost you anything. All you have to do is reach out to me. And then in the end, as you're going through and you're planning the rest of your year, 2021, that's the year we're in, how you want to dominate it, each week matters. This weekly crush at Planner, it's awesome. Once I send it to you, just print it out and you'll go through each one of the sections and you'll realize that I show you how to time block every single minute of your day. And by the way, busy equals broke, productive equals paid. I want you to have the most productive days as possible plus make sure that you're not undervaluing things that most salespeople are missing. If you want time, you have it. You just have to prioritize it. I think that this will help you. Guys, I love you. Please give me a thumbs up on the video if you enjoyed it. Please shoot me a comment below. And as always, I put out videos each week to help you go to another level so you can see the best version of yourself. And if you ever need anything from me, you can always text me at 918-210-254. I'm always here to help you.


135 million people worldwide are acutely food insecure, half live in conflict affected environments. Reducing hunger and poverty and supporting livelihoods in fragile contexts is challenging and complex work. Community conflicts severely impact livelihood opportunities and worsen food insecurity. These, as well as competition over natural resources, can also drive conflicts, especially at the local level. Here's an example. Say a new watering hole for cattle was built for local pastoralists and although many similar watering holes had been built elsewhere, the new watering hole led to local tensions and even fighting. Why? Because the watering hole had been built on grazing land that could not be accessed by all local cattle owners. Local customs and relationships between different pastoralist groups who had a history of conflict determined who had access and who did not. The excluded cattle owners thought it unfair the other group benefited and reacted violently. Building the watering hole in that location was conflict insensitive. FAO in all its work must endeavour to do no harm. This means minimising any possible negative effects of assistance to people and communities. Otherwise our activities and projects can create division and can contribute to local tensions. Any intervention can fuel conflict simply by not understanding or taking into account the local context and can do unintentional harm. If emergency cash distribution means that people need to travel across communities that have unresolved tensions, it can make an already difficult situation worse. This could even put people's safety at risk. When only displaced people receive assistance, host communities can perceive that they are being ignored. This is another example of conflict insensitivity. By supporting agricultural livelihoods, building resilience and improving natural resource management, we can support communities and underpin local peace. When done well, such an approach can provide a space for dialogue and collaborative solutions and in doing so make conflict and violence less appealing. It can also reduce tensions over natural resources such as land and water and enhance local capacities for conflict resolution. For example, pastoralist groups working together to vaccinate their animals but who usually compete over grazing can be an entry point to identify areas for dialogue, building trust and reducing tensions. FAO programs need to be conflict sensitive. There are three key steps. Step one, context analysis. Conduct a context analysis to identify conflict lines in and between communities as well as potential drivers of peace. Understand different perspectives, be it farmers, elders, women or local authorities. Step two, conflict sensitive recommendations. Now that you see the potential impacts of the proposed interventions and how they could interact with the local context using a program clinic approach, identify concrete conflict sensitive recommendations. Step three, getting the activities right. To reduce negative impacts and maximize peace opportunities, amend activities that have the potential to do harm. Identify activities that could contribute to local peace and influence the design of monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Conflict sensitive programming is fundamental. FAO's interventions and activities must be informed and shaped by an understanding of contextual dynamics. This means FAO's support to people and communities will not only do no harm but can also do more good and contribute to local peace.


Today, we're going to be installing this transfer switch for a generator. This is for a single circuit and we've got our instructions and another plug for the box. These are pretty simple, but you need to know a little bit about electricity. So if you don't know much about electricity, call an electrician and also you need to check your city, your county, your codes and see if you need to have an inspector come in and see if you need permits before installing one of these. There it is. Pretty simple. That's for your generator.  This is just a light. This is your 15 amp reset button and here's where the generator will plug into. I'm going to take this one screw out. I'm going to open this up. It's pretty wired to the control panel and here's our wires. So what we want to have to do is we're going to take this in to beside the mains. I'm going to mark them holes, them three holes and I'm going to go ahead and get this mounted up. I'm just going to put my box up here, line it up and I'm going to put my screws in. Now I got to find out which one I want to use. I want to be the second one here which is my air conditioner. That's one I'm going to run it into.  That shuts everything off to the house. I've got six screws on my box here and I'm going to take them out and then we're going to pull the box off. Okay so it's important to mention I have a ground bar over here and a neutral bar here. It doesn't matter where I run this ground at. I can run it on either side.  Be very careful. These wires here are hot all the time even though the main breaker is off. These wires are still hot. These wires are dead. So next I traced my wires. I found the white one that went to that bar there and we're going to hook that up to one of the white ones here. I'm going to do that by using a wire nut. Now these wires are already stripped back. Now we're going to do that one like that. This one goes over here. The other white one will go here. I'm just going to go right up here. I'm going to loosen one of these nuts up, twist the braids together. See there's two wires going to this one. So there's a wire on top that's running something else on that circuit. So we're in Florida so I like to run the air so that's why I'm going on this circuit. This also runs the microwave. So since I know which wire I'm looking for I've already traced it. I'm going to loosen this lug here. I'm going to pull the bottom wire out. I'm going to take the red wire and put in its place.   Like I said I can run it over to that one or I can run it right to here which I'm just going to run it right to this one. Now my last wire is going to be a white wire and it's going to go into the neutral. So now I'm going to turn the mains on. There's the main. I'm going to turn the power on. Over here to the box we're going to come over to the box. We're going to flip it on to normal to make sure our power is working in the house with the air conditioner. It's working. The microwave is working. Now let's plug it into the generator.   That's very safe by the way because it has to go to off before it goes to generator. Now we're going to plug our generator in. You can see it's on. Lights are off. No power up here. We plug the generator and our air conditioner beep. All the power is back on as you can see. Air condition is on. Microwave is on. A couple features to point out. This switch is ETL certified and can work with electricity, gas, portable, standby generator and can also be compatible with solar system and inverter. This thing is also waterproof and dust-proof. It's also rust resistant. This transfer switch can be used in your home in an RV or outside. It looks nice. It's easy to install and it could add some value to your home as an upgrade.
