The operations function is where I started my career and where I currently work where Jon has worked for the last 27 years. There are 10 different departments in that range and form the manufacturing of parts, the construction, the testing commission, etc. There are also over 20 different disciplines, from welders to pipe fitters to sheet metal workers and everything in between. You can understand that we have 10 departments based on a very large site ac yn yr ydyngyniaeth ffordd gwahanol erioedd ynannaeth yn ein Everyone ac yn y rhan o'i cyd-dweud gyd amb�ysgol. there's a lot of interdependencies a lot of areas for things to connect and also a lot of areas for things to not to surely work well. So that gives us that context, again, of why we needed a structured approach and why an architecture framework. So as you can see on the left hand side that's the original model and on the right is our translated version and some of the words make sense things like y gallwn y cael y cyfnod yn ffwrdd. Mae'n gwybod i ni ddim yn adael, ond ac yn ddarparu, mae'n ddwy'r llwyddoedd. Felly, cyfnod y cyfnod ymlaen, mae'n ddweud y ffwrdd ffwngfynol, ymlaenau, ymlaenau i chi fod yw'n credu.

Felly, sy'n ffordd, y dyfodol yma i'r dyfodol ond yn gweithio i'n gweithio am yr order o'n sefydlau cynllunio'r perff segol. The thing that was involved is that this was not an overnight. It was not a what's the problem, right it on a page and jobs are good. We spent roughly five full days, about eight hours apiece, over a three month period with the functional director, all of their heads-of, the wider transformation team, myself, John, Rachel were all involved in developing this and getting that key by in an engagement at the very onset. Diolch yn dda, eich ddweud o'r ffordd a chylo'r pethau ddechrau gwahanol ar y cael amddangos y cyfnodd yma. I ddweud o'r ffordd, mae'n gwybod ddweud o'r ffordd.

Felly, we've got future products, we've got future commitments that we're hopefully working on, and therefore we need to become fit for the future. Now, in order to define this vision and strategy from the outset, as John talked earlier, roughly 3,000 people have been involved in this process, and throughout 2013 and 2014 we undertook engagement sessions with everybody within the ops function from the welder, through to the team leader, through to the foreman and the manager to understand what are their problems, what would make their life easy, what would make their day-to-day job an easy thing to do, and built all those problem statements. I think we had 8,000 comments which rolled up into around 800 problem statements, alongside some of the business issues around increasing our throughput, doubling the workforces, the capability there, how do we transition from all IT systems to new ones? There's lots of input into that and understand that. It was very simple for ourselves to be able to address one of these problem statements. We have to have the ability to be able to do something. If today I don't have hot water and I need hot water, then the ability I need is to boil water. That means that I now need to define something that's going to give me that ability, and that was the context in which we put around that. So, let's say the objective for ourselves was to define that strategy and vision, but also get that buy-in from all levels and understand how it all fits together. I believe the IT is working again. Let's see if I break it again. So, now we know why we need to change and we've got buy-in. That's a great start. We've got a vision and strategy of what we want it to look like and how it's all going to fit together moving forward. The key question I'll go back to my boiling water is, okay, I need the ability to boil water, but what is my capability? Is that a kettle? Is it a pan? You know, there's many different options but understanding what those capabilities are in order to deliver that. Something that we've used throughout is these reference points, those things like previous objectives that we may have not delivered on, previous change frameworks, previous improvement initiatives that have been done potentially in isolation and are not alongside the other capabilities, and really to define what it is we need to do in order to deliver that vision and strategy. As you can see, we've finished with 27. I believe at the height it was 35 and at its low point was 21 as we kind of defined what the scope was and understood where the capabilities would fit in. So we've now got ourselves 27 capabilities or projects as they will then become to deliver that capability. We now need to understand how these all fit together and how we deliver them, because otherwise, we're just in a danger of trying to do everything today, which basically means we're doing nothing in the future. So stage C for ourselves is what we do in work breakdown structure and that's our terminology so that we could communicate that between ourselves as a team and also get that buy-in from people at various levels. So as you can see across the top, there all of our ability is the ability to boil water in my previous example along the top and all the capabilities down the left-hand side. What we started to understand is, okay, we've got 28 abilities we need and 27 capabilities, so we've got 756 different connections points that can fit into that and start to develop and understand where they all fit together, how they link and how they will work together to deliver something. I think for myself, one of the key things that jumps out to me is no single capability is the answer. You cannot deliver one project, one capability to fix a problem. There's a lot of interdependencies from different projects that need to deliver things. So that was really key for ourselves to start building up that scope of work and understanding how broad and how deep it was. But as John touched on earlier, it's one of the areas where we tried to get everybody through and understand what we'd done and actually that wasn't needed because all we then did is confuse them and take them through 756 different review processes that we've been through and kind of shocked people and so actually lesson learnt for ourselves is that we maybe keep the team smaller in that aspect of stuff. The buying to what we've got to do and how we're going to do it is important, but understanding all those interdependencies, I think the smaller the team, the better it has been for us to do. So we've now got ourselves why we're changing. That's key. We know what we want it to look like in the future. We know the projects and the capabilities that we need to deliver and we've started to understand the interdependencies and how they all kind of fit together and work. This stage was really around understanding what do we need to do. We've got a baseline of our performance today against varying capabilities and we've got that desired future state that we need to be at in the future. Now, before we went into the review sessions, again, part of this was around getting that buy-in from all the heads-of because they're the people who've got a change. They're the people who are going to have to drive these change programmes through their departments. It's not myself, it's not John. We're just facilitating that change for all of them so it's key to get that buy-in. So we sat down, got each of the department heads-of on their first line and sat in a room and kind of said truthfully and honestly against each of these capabilities that we've defined a base level for, put some context and some words around it and again for an optimum level. Where are you today on that scale? It was important that honesty came out because if we got this bit wrong then the scope of work and the depth of which that project has to go to would have been off but actually, as John talked about earlier, that commitment from that wider team to really buy into what we're doing and get on with it was vital. So as I say, with 10 gap analysis sessions I think they were three to four hours each. All that data there understanding where are we today and where are we in the future and I think Oliver Wignall who said to me at the time we cannot be optimum in every aspect of this. We cannot try to be an optimum in every capability. I'll get the athlete wrong, Daley Thompson. There you go, I've got it right before my time. A decathlon athlete. You do not need to win every event in a decathlon to win gold in that event. You've got to have certain things that you've got to hold standard at and certain things that you've just got to finish. Everything needs to finish but actually it's understanding what that is because otherwise, again, we're in danger of just doing too much change at once and therefore actually not working. So that thought process was involved in this stage and understanding where are we today and where do we need to be in the future. So stage E, I think my and John's home for probably six months we spent a lot of time in this stage trying to break it down into various phases to make it more manageable. I think the key objective for ourselves was to define the scope of the projects but also to gain that buy-in and understand what the priorities were. So having scoped 27 projects and things like who's the project owner, what's the budget, the resource required, what are the key milestones and objectives because as John talked earlier this had to be passed over to a programme management organisation and that information was key for them to be able to manage this going forward. So we spent a lot of time in the development stage of the scope. We then needed to get the buy-in to what we'd defined that scope of work to be. So as you can see, each one of the 27 capabilities was reviewed in 10 different sessions. Again, breaking it down through the operations function through the departments and their heads of and some of the wider teams in those areas to kind of take them through what I've almost taken you through and take them through that journey. But then to also say, right, well what are your key problems? What are the things that you need to be gold? Because as I say, myself and John could have sat in a room and we could have done this in an hour. There's your five gold, there's your bronze, there's the bottom and we're just going to finish on those. Done, move on. But we wouldn't have had the buy-in and we'd have been wrong. Because again, it's not about ourselves, it's about engaging with those people. So that was key and fundamental. I think we spent four to five hours to review sessions and they were really, to be honest, I really enjoyed them at first. Before we did the sessions I was kind of a bit nervous thinking that this is just going to be an opportunity for some people to moan and say everything's wrong and we've not done it right or this doesn't work. But actually it was a great opportunity to see people's passion and enthusiasm to get this right and do it properly. And that's now, the outputs from that have helped us to prioritise some of the work and understand some of those areas where we really need to, you know, commit and put up to a gold standard. So those sessions, we then rolled those up into the operations, kind of big six as we've got there. So those across the top and then the orange ones underneath were kind of the functional capabilities, things that we had to do across the function anyway. But actually, you know, we're close and up behind, close to the gold standard or green as we've got them in this. So it's a really important phase and we've spent a lot of time and commitment during that. So I've kind of rattled through what we did on stage, very high level and it's very difficult as John said to present all that information and data that's been involved in this. But roughly 2,500 people had an input to this from the early engagement sessions of 2013-14 through to the transformation team, the functional director and either other directors and other functions trying to understand what we've done and where they fit within this transformation piece of work. Roughly 65 workshops and review sessions between two to eight hours a piece so again, a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of energy and roughly about 8,000 man hours had myself and John working on this probably full time for over a year plus all of the other people involved at those various stages and to be honest I've probably underestimated that I've probably more like 12 I would have thought but a lot of time and effort that's been involved in it it's not just five PowerPoint slides that I've taken you through today and as you can see, some of the people are actually involved in those stages so you've got the engagement sessions here with the shop floor staff actually talking about what would make their life easier this tooling would be better for fitting pipes that would make welding easier wouldn't it be nice if we could have mobile IT access so that we can find things on an iPad rather than having to go through loads of paper whatever the kind of problem statement was and in top right hand corner you've got Keith Minican who's one of our heads of in the function standing up and taking accountability for this transformation project and what his vision is for his department within that organisation so the next steps we've currently worked up those scope sheets and the prioritisation and we've passed that over to the project management office and John touched on that earlier we've got the involvement from the project management office maybe slightly too late and therefore myself and John have been spending time with them getting them up to speed what do we mean by the scope we've designed a transformation strategy but actually it's passing that information on and I don't believe that we'll ever fully let go of that because we've designed it and we can help and support them and give them the direction so we're now consolidating some of these projects so actually the last conversation I had on Friday morning was that we've now consolidated these down into 19 projects we've not lost the scope of work and that's important but because we've got project leads working on multiple projects actually it's easier to manage if we reduce that and condense it and the project plans are now under development ready for ourselves to start implementing those in the near future the implementation governance is also under development, really important when are we going to review each of these projects when how are we going to measure the success how do we ensure that we're delivering it at the right time along with those interdependencies so that we don't deliver something too early or too late and therefore have a knock-on impact to the rest of the programme and I think for me this is one of the really key important things that we've got to develop and get right is that change management piece yes we've defined the scope for 27 projects yes we've gained buy-in from a wide range of stakeholders but fundamentally somewhere along the lines something's going to clash and it's how we make that decision and how we understand and change that scope to ensure that we don't lose that vision and strategy and that wide change along the way and I think if we hadn't been through this process and we jumped straight to the answer when that happened and we changed the scope we wouldn't know what we were referring back to in the first place and that's why change is so important so few final thoughts for me really these are my thoughts rather than the wider team but an architectural framework has provided structure it's standardised the approach to fixing our functional problems it's given us that opportunity to really standardise that and I know I use it on a regular basis someone asked me to do a project to a piece of work the first thing I'm asking myself is why am I doing this why are we doing that so that we can document and sort it out and I believe that ultimately this tool can be used for any organisation to structure any kind of transformational project that they need to do and it's the interpretation and the digestion of it that's been key it's not about being rigid and saying sex stage A says at point 3.1 says I've got to do that exact thing understanding what our interpretation was and that was key for us and as I've mentioned you know that process and that approach to projects is now kind of ingrained in my head I've been doing it for 13 months now it's my interpretation but actually it's really key and it's helped me and helped my career understand how I'm going to do projects and how I'm going to do stuff moving forward and I don't think it'll be something that I'll ever stop doing if that makes sense I hope that was useful and that just kind of summarises and contextualise what we actually did in each stage and hopefully I'll be able to answer any questions you've got later on. Thank you


Yes, I'm happy to make the next introduction. So it's my great pleasure to introduce to you all, Dr. Sadegh Dabiri, like the other talks we heard this morning, Dr. Sadegh Dabiri has recently been promoted to associate professor and I want to compliment the organizers, Arvin Ramon and the others putting this together because I see a lot of interesting themes that are really part of the cohort we are honoring and hearing from today. We just heard from the previous speaker, some of the outside, the purely academic support that Sadegh and this has provided and that network of others from a similar cultural background, I think is important to support one another. Like all of the candidates, Dr. Dabiri has a background in mechanical engineering. So maybe this is a case where mechanical engineers can branch out and go into research in a wide variety of areas. Dr. Dabiri has an appointment in agricultural engineering. He has a partial appointment in mechanical engineering as well. And really the connection to Carson in the first presentation is Dr. Dabiri's research focuses on developing computational tools for analyzing complex flows in fluid systems. So much more on the theoretical and on the fundamental and small scale with large scale applications that sort of compliment the experimental work that we heard in the first talk. I want to echo the previous introducers, congratulations to this entire group of fairly new associate professors, congratulations all of you on all that you've done and all you've accomplished to get to this point. And I'm happy to turn the floor over now to Sadegh Dabiri to talk about how modeling tools can have applications not only in combustion as we heard in the first talk but in a wide variety of other areas as well and applications where fluids are important parts of engineered systems. Dr. Dabiri. Thank you Dr. Bojair for introduction and for kind words. I have prepared an overview of the research that's going on in my group. They all fall into the same area of multi-scale modeling of multi-phase flows but the wide range of applications. Before I start, this is basically my current research, my current students and Adonai, who basically have done all of the work, all of the hard work for their, and the results that I'm going to show you some of them. So our group is mostly focused on basically modeling of multi-phase flows, mostly gas liquid flows with different type of applications. We look at the transport and mixing, look at the cavitation, flow boiling for basically cooling off the microchips and for surface phenomena, like we're looking at the effect of surfactants in basically in a two-phase flow environment and we are mostly focused on the very fundamentals but sometimes we look at the applications and the first thing I wanna talk about is cavitation. So this is mostly not this video that we will see. Usually it's not associated with cavitation but the phenomena that happens is actually cavitation. So this is actually a detonation under water surface that actually itself creates a very large wave but the actual destructive force actually comes after the initial wave. So this is how we have enough of the detonation so you get the bubble and then when that bubble collapses is basically when you get all this energy being concentrated at one point. And the same, so this is basically a cavitation bubble collapsing under water. The same phenomenon actually is miniaturized and used for basically breaking up the kidney stones. Where the inception process is different here use acoustic sound, acoustic waves to concentrate and create the cavitation near the, basically near the kidney stones and the collapse of those bubbles will lead to this breakup of this. And so this has been well established and basically being used now. Next phase is that to even basically focus on more critical areas like looking at the blood-brain barrier which is actually a issue for transferring large molecule drugs into the, from the blood into the brain and cavitation is actually a potential mechanism to creating cavitation for microbubbles inside this, inside the vessels to create basically a locally, essentially a locally hole that you can transport some of the drug into the, through this blood-brain barrier. And so this work is the, so we already had a very simple simplified case look at the basically cavitation that is induced by laser. And even for this bubble that's gross and collapses and then rebounds even for this simple formula, it's difficult to actually get the accurate model that predicts what is happening during this process. So this is the experiment is done in Dr. Blasso's lab and we have the idea is that we actually we need to include more physics to create a model that can predict the cavitation process. So to see the cavitation actually when you see these bubbles growing and collapsing after the rebound, the first, the initial behavior is easily predicted but as you get through further rebounds it's becomes more and more difficult and the error actually increases. So what we have done is to include more physics including the heat and mass transfers during this growth and collapse of the bubbles. And with that, we've been able to improve the models that are, that have been present to actually be able to get a better prediction of what is happening during this phenomenon. So this is on one end and on the other end sometimes we don't want to look at all of the details of the something like cavitation. So we want to have a simplified model. So in this case, we are actually looking at the cavitation model for basically for a generator pump. So this is actually a generator pump. It's very common and that's used for basically pumping fuel or oil or liquids. And if you want to optimize this then you don't really have enough time to do detailed simulation. So you want to have a basically long parameter model for optimizing that so you can run it quickly. And if you look at the cavitation bubble the red line here is actually shows the behavior that you will get but we don't really want to simulate this. We want to have something what we get is that this we were able to by looking at the energy balance for this basically for cavitation bubble we were able to get this behavior, the average behavior of the bubble during this gross and collapse process. And so this is the experiment itself was done in Dr. Vakal's lab at MAHA. And with this model we can actually reduce the time and at the same time get more accurate results that is based on the basically energy balance between the during the growth and collapse of the bubbles. Another area that we have focused on is basically looking at the modeling of the two phase heat transfer. Basically one of the limitations for the basically increasing the power of microchips is the thermal management. And it's the one of the solutions is for to have basically two phase heat transfer where you have basically a phase change that's happening right in a microchannel on the chip and by having this phase change you can actually have a higher heat transfer rate. But actually doing the simulation for this is very difficult because we end up with a very small length scale between basically a very thin film between the bubble and the surrounding and it's very difficult to resolve that. So one of my students, Pramod he basically developed this multi-scale model where he actually solved for the dynamics of the bubble but with the full governing equations and we look at the reduced order model for asking for the thin film that we have between the vapor and the bubble. Another area that we have been focused on is looking at the basically swarm of bubbles and droplets in stratified environments and the mixing that they cause. So one of the motivations for this is that basically whenever you have a swarm of like if you have basically all these at the bottom of the ocean not all of these oils get to the surface some of it is actually leaves basically strapped in the middle layer here because of just how the density is balanced with the rest of the with the between the oil droplets and the water. And it's important to basically be able to predict how much is from what you get to the surface how much oil actually has been released. So what you get from here was for example, for the last oil that we have in the Gulf of Mexico what reached the surface was much less than what was actually expected was was seen that basically comes out of this broken part of the bottom of the sea. So what we are actually looking at here is basically dispersion of the droplets and the swarm of drops that's basically rising in stratified flow. So from homogeneous, basically uniform environment to basically more and more stratified where we have basically because of this salinity or temperature, you have a change of density and you see what actually happens that the dispersion of the droplets increases. And at the same time, we also look at this the mixing that happens during this rise of these droplets and this mixing itself is actually helpful for some applications especially when we cut the water reservoirs we want to limit the evaporation from the surface of water reservoirs. And if you can mix that and mix this basically the water in the reservoir you can actually remove the hot layer on top of the reservoir which basically increases the evaporation. So we have been looking at this mixing phenomena and how we can quantify that and how we can basically create a general model for that. Right, so that was basically a review of the work that has been going on in my group. There are some other topics that I skipped but I just want to thank my students, Dave on all of the work hard work here in my group and thanks for the organizers for organizing this event. Thank you very much for the great talk there, Sadeg. The floor is open to any questions that might be people listening on Zoom, please type them in the chat or if there's some questions in the room. Sadeg, please go ahead and recognize those individuals as well. Going back to Dr. Raman's opening remarks. Yeah, he brought this up. What's some advice that you would give junior faculty of what not to do, something that you wished you hadn't done? I started collaborating with the faculties later toward the end, but I think that was something that I wish I have started earlier. Because in the many, say, initially we had from other institutions, that's not really, it's at Purdue, but collaboration with the more senior colleagues, sometimes you may not get the credit for that, enough to credit, but I have not really seen that here at Purdue and that's something that I think that I encourage my colleagues who just started to definitely see collaboration with everyone. Great, there was a question on the chat, Sadeg, from Fatima, just a very general question. How has teaching helped you be a better researcher in your field? I would say one thing is that you, basically you learn any topic, if you wanna learn it really well, you have to basically teach that. That's one of the things that if you start, if you're teaching a subject, some of them, then that's actually the time that you see all the questions appears in your mind about all different aspects of this. So I think that's one way that the teaching can actually help with the research, just basically providing the large picture, thinking from that point of view. Thank you very much for sharing the research in your life. I kind of want to fill out the first question about collaborations. So when you talk about prefer earlier for collaborations, it's referred to the collaboration within Purdue or could it be collaboration beyond Purdue and how did they get those connections? How did you meet those people? Did you reach out, send an email, say, wanna have coffee or did you meet them in workshop or yeah, something like that? Right, yes, and now actually if, I don't know when you have started, but if you have started during the whole COVID, it's, I completely see that it could be more difficult, but yeah, just talking to colleagues and just maybe stopping by their office. And for outside collaboration, I would say the conferences are definitely what's the best place to find people with the similar interests from other institutes. Excellent, are there any more questions in either in the food room or those joining on Zoom through the chat? Okay, well, thank you very much to all of our participants, to the heads and everything. We really appreciate your attendance, whether in the food room here or virtually where most of you are. So thank you very much. And this concludes this celebrating our associate professor's session. Our next one will be on November 10th. So be watching for the e-registration for it. Thanks so much.


The water is just crystal clear here in the Cayman Islands. Literally you never see anything like it. All kinds of water sports, kind of boats in the water, yachts. Certainly nine in the morning. People are ready on the beach, sun tanning, swimming. And of course, your boy Rich is here getting you guys all the footage, getting all the evidence. This water's so warm.  I'm going to put my feet in the water because it's just so refreshing. Seems like there's more people down here. Let's go check out the scene. Find out why and what's going on over here. Want to do some sedoing, some jet skiing. Got it all right here in the Cayman Islands. Oh, I'm going to be on one of these later on this week. That would be pretty exciting. Those bikes with those big wheels. Pretty sure I'm going to jump on one of those sometime this week. I am moving in slow motion, it's true. See these bikes here with these big tires? You go in the water with them. Pretty cool. Sailboats, these right here. These bikes with the big tires. I want to go on one of these. Maybe you'll see me on one of these later this week. Today's just kind of like get to know the beach day through my place around here. Got to pick up my sister from the airport three o'clock.  Grabbed some breakfast, sit in the sun, relax for a bit. See where the day takes me. Just kind of go with the flow. Don't really have any plans. I know I'm making that Bitcoin money. I know I'm making that BitConnect money, so I ain't got no stress. Just chilling like a villain in the Cayman Islands. My brother-in-law's at work because he got a job here and he's living here with my sister and their son. And I'm just left alone to just do as I please. And I'm just the kind of guy that, if you leave me alone and do as I please then, you know I'm going to be out and about venturing to places unknown.

A very good evening to all our friends and welcome to the Hindu news analysis of Shankar IAS Academy for the date 7th October 2020. Before we begin our news analysis, Shankar IAS Academy is happy to announce the second nationwide scholarship test for the mains 2020 test series which will begin from 18th October 2020. The scholarship test will be conducted from 12th October to 14th October 2020 and every day one mains question will be given from our daily Hindu news analysis program for three days along with the daily news analysis video. The registrations are open from today and the link for the registration is given in the description box and also in the comment section. All the details regarding this scholarship test will be shared on our YouTube channel. With this announcement, let us begin our news analysis for today. See this news article is about the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020. Know that the award was divided and one half was awarded to Roger Penrose for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of general theory of relativity. The other half was jointly awarded to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Gaze for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the center of our galaxy. So in this context, let us discuss about black hole in detail. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. So we all know that black holes are one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe. These super heavy weight monsters capture everything that enters them. So nothing can escape, even not light. So what really is a black hole? As we know, there are many galaxies present in our universe and every galaxy has a Jane star present at the center. For example, in our galaxy Milky Way, where Earth lies, Sun is the Jane star. And when this Jane star runs out of energy, black holes are born. And they may be of different sizes. See, this black hole's gravity is so strong that it pulls all the objects that get close to it. If too much matter is crammed into one place, the cumulative force of gravity becomes overwhelming, such that it becomes an eternal trap.  And know that even the light, which is the fastest object in the universe, does not have a high enough velocity to escape the gravitational pull of a black hole.  Recently, the term black hole was coined in mid-1960s by an American physicist named John Archibald Wheeler. And Roger Penrose used ingenious mathematical methods in his proof that black holes are a direct consequence of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. But Einstein himself did not believe that black holes really exist. And in January 1965, 10 years after Einstein's death, Roger Penrose proved that black holes really can form and he also described them in detail. At their heart, black holes hide a singularity in which all the non-loss of nature sees. His groundbreaking article is still regarded as the most important contribution to the general theory of relativity since Einstein. Know that both Reinhard Genzhe and André Guiz lead a group of astronomers. Since 1990s, they focused on a region called Sagittarius A, which is at the center of our galaxy. Here, they mapped the orbits of the brightest stars closest to the middle of the Milky Way galaxy with increasing precision. The two groups found an extremely heavy invisible object that pulls on the jumble of stars, causing them to rush around at dizzying speeds. Around 4 million solar masses are packed together in a region no larger than our solar system. Both Genzhe and Guiz used world's largest telescopes to develop methods to see through the huge clouds of interstellar gas and dust to the center of the Milky Way galaxy. They also refined new techniques to compensate for distortions caused by the Earth's atmosphere building unique instruments and committing themselves to long-term research. Their pioneering work has given us the most convincing evidence yet of a supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. But even now, black holes pose many questions that beg for answers and motivate future research. The ongoing studies are focused on the inner structure of a black hole. These are also studying how to test our theory of gravity under the extreme conditions in the immediate vicinity of a black hole. So this is all about black holes. With this, we have come to the end of discussion of this topic. Let us move on to the next news. Now this editorial is about how social media and internet have become channels of misinformation or how these platforms do not serve as a means to get correct information and diverse viewpoints. So in this analysis, we will discuss about these aspects in detail and also about the term called echo chamber. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. First, let us see about the term echo chamber. See, an echo chamber is an environment where a person only encounters or receives information or opinions that reflect and reinforce her or his own information or opinion. This environment can create misinformation and also distort a person's perspective because in this environment, there is difficulty in getting and considering or posting viewpoints and discussing complicated topics. One can easily understand this with the highly targeted algorithms that the social media companies use. See, these algorithms push notifications, advertisements and recommendations of your recent search again and again. And the scenario is also the same with news. That is why the author says, if I show a preference for right wing leaning posts, the algorithms are likely to provide me with even more right wing posts from people and organizations. These algorithms will make newly online Indians to become easy prey for targeted advertising or even to micro targeting. Here targeting could be for both products and for political viewpoints. So this is about the term echo chamber. Such algorithms and associated echo chambers are to cause an internet misinformation storm. Now let us see some of the reasons why the author says misinformation storm in the internet. And how relevant is internet and misinformation? See much before the arrival of internet, there was positive of news. That is, there were less sources of getting news, particularly national and international news. But this scenario improved with time. And just before the arrival of internet, there were a number of news providing organizations. Some of these organizations provided quality information through print media even to remote areas. Here we see quality information because it is easy to regulate such print media in terms of authenticity and accuracy. Most of the time such newspapers or magazines have a column of correction and clarifications. So other than the opinions, the facts given by the newspaper by and large are of much better quality than that of what we see today in internet. So what happened with the arrival of internet? The author says that internet has obstructed and impeded the growth of newspaper agencies and the associated reach of quality and accurate information. Because of the internet, there are far fewer news outlets now than there were some years ago. So who is providing news today? Many of us see news projected on Google feed or Facebook feed, etc. Such social media platforms do not have journalistic norms. But now these platforms have become the space for anyone to provide any information without regard for authenticity or truth. As a result, much of the news available on these platforms is biased. And this can have unintended consequences when the read information is fake or false or misinformation. And in this regard, the author states that most Americans now get the news from dubious or doubtful internet sources. And India should not fall prey to this. Secondly, these platforms can be used to influence waters through micro-targeting. On 17th February 2020, we have discussed in detail about micro-targeting. And we have also heard about how data analytics firms such as Cambridge Analytica illegally accessed millions of Facebook profiles to influence waters in Brexit voting and also for the last US election. And recently in India, we were hearing allegations that social media companies suppress a set of ideas to promote other set of ideas and political views for their business interests and others. All these are challenges posed in the form of misinformation as the user is micro-targeted. The user's opinions are framed based on ads or misinformation and not based on comprehensive debate on the particular issue. Thirdly, misinformation in the internet can stalk violence in short notice. In many places in India, people have been attacked by mob because of fake news circulated through social media like WhatsApp. And fourthly, misinformation in internet can divide societies and also polarise them. This again was visible in US, where extreme polarisation has been taking place in recent years. So what happened in US in terms of getting news from dubious sources or social media deciding outcome of an election or such media acting as polarising agents should serve as a stark warning for India. So the author calls for sufficient action to take place by bringing a new legislation. This legislation should allow free speech at the same time should also apply pressure to make sure that internet content is filtered for accuracy. With this we have come to the end of analysis of this news article. Now let us move on to the next news article. Now we have this editorial which discusses about the present state of criminal justice system in India. In this context, let us discuss what do we mean by criminal justice system and also the editorial. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. See, when we say criminal justice system, it includes the law making bodies such as parliament, the state legislatures, and then the law enforcement authorities such as the police, then the court of law, prison and correctional administration, etc. In a criminal justice system, the main role is played by the law enforcement authorities. This is because they register the crime as a first information report. Then they only will arrest and produce the accused before the court of law. And also they only will carry out the investigation and submit the final report or charge sheet in the court after the investigation. It is based on this charge sheet, the trial will begin in the court. And at the end of the trial in the court, if the accused is convicted of crimes, then the punishment will be declared by the court. And if the accused is acquitted, then he will be set free. So this is in brief about criminal justice system. And know that the state of criminal activities in a society depends upon the efficient functioning of all the stakeholders in the criminal justice system. And also know that we have three arms of the government that is legislature, executive and judiciary. With this background information, let us see the editorial. See, this editorial begins by telling that the definition of crime and what the criminal law should be is determined by the majority government of the day that is executive. Not just this, the executive also controls the investigative missionary that is the police. All this means that the criminal justice system is determined by the executive. The author of this editorial tells that the criminal justice system in India is in a disarray by quoting the recent activities from the state of Uttar Pradesh. Why the author tells this because the executive has taken the criminal justice system into its hands in these forms. First, in the form of extrajudicial killings that is police encounters where the police do not follow the process of criminal justice system and instead punishment was given by the police itself. Secondly, in the form of enacting laws that undermine the power of another arm of the government that is judiciary. After the Anti-Citizenship Act protests in UP, the UP government passed a law that enabled the publishing of massive holdings with the names and details of the persons allegedly involved in the destruction of properties caused in riots. Here, the government itself has assumed that those set of persons were guilty even before the court pronounced them guilty. And thirdly, in the form of not initiating the due process of criminal justice system as seen in the recently trending Hatharas issues where the police have not registered the case at all. Instead, what the police did was it has registered many cases that there is a conspiracy to use this particular incident for political purposes. So from all these three cases, the author has inferred three things. One, there is a disconnect between the two forms of the government, the executive and the judiciary in matters of criminal justice. Next, the executive has become all the more powerful due to this disconnect. Finally, the judiciary has become executive-minded. That is, the courts are willing to help arrive at settlements in the intermediate stages itself instead of following the entire process of criminal justice system. So based on these three inferences, the author has come to a conclusion that the criminal justice system in India has transformed into a problem-solving system. That is, the importance of courts is slowly reducing in the present scenario. To substantiate this, the author has courted the data related to UP from Crime in India 2019 report released by the National Crime Records Bureau. The UP's police have a pendency rate for cases at just above 15% but its courts have a pendency rate just above 90% for Indian penal court crimes. Hence, there is a natural time gap between the incident and any potential punishment. Hence, it reduces the importance of judiciary in the criminal justice system. As a result, the judiciary has become executive-minded as we saw above. Thus, the author concludes by telling that there is a systematic disintegration of criminal justice system across India and it is gradually being replaced with a problem-solving system. And there is also a high-handedness of the executive as we saw before like the encounters. So this is all about this news article. With this, we'll move on to the next news. Now have a look at this question. It is based on this news article which talks about the statement made by International Monetary Funds Managing Director. She has noted that the global economic situation is less dire or less terrible that is it is slightly better than the economic situation in June 2020. And because of this, IMF is going to do a small upward revision to its 2020 global output forecast which is its World Economic Outlook update of 2020. We had discussed about World Economic Outlook update and its forecast on our 25th June Hindu News Analysis. There we saw that the WEO update has projected a shrinking or contracting global growth of minus 4.9% in 2020. And now a small upward revision will be made to this. She also noted that in the emerging markets and also in the law income countries, the situation will be worse. So they will face an uncertain situation due to weak health systems, high external depths and dependency on sectors that were most exposed to the pandemic such as tourism and commodities. Now in this context, let us discuss about the International Monetary Fund. See, IMF was created in 1945. It is an organization governed by and accountable to the 199 member countries. It is working to foster global monetary cooperation, to secure financial stability, to facilitate international trade, then to promote high employment and sustainable economic growth and finally to reduce poverty around the world. Thus, IMF's primary purpose is to ensure stability of international monetary system. It does this in three ways. First one, keeping track of global economy and the economies of member countries. And second one, lending to countries with balance of payments difficulties. And the third one, giving practical helps to the members. And apart from this, it also monitors the economic and financial policies of its member countries. Now see this question. Consider the following statements with reference to International Monetary Fund. It is a three statements question. The first statement reads, it is a quota-based institution and quota subscriptions are central component of IMF's financial resources. See, this statement has two parts. The first half is, it is a quota-based institution. See, this is correct. IMF is a quota-based institution. Quartas are the building blocks of IMF's financial and governance structure. An individual member country's quota broadly reflects its relative position in the world economy. Know that quotas are denominated in special drawing rights or SDRs. Thus, quota subscriptions are central component of the IMF's financial resources. So the second half is also correct, which makes the whole statement as a correct statement. Now the second statement reads, it created the special drawing rights that is SDR, an international reserve asset to supplement its member country's official reserves. See, this statement is also correct. SDR is an international reserve asset created by IMF in 1969 to supplement its member country's official reserves. SDR serves as the unit of account of the IMF and some other international organizations. And know that SDR is neither a currency nor a claim on IMF. Rather, it is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. And SDRs can be exchanged for these currencies. Currently, the value of SDR is based on a basket of five currencies, that is US dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen and the British pound sterling. Now you can easily arrive at the correct answer, which is option D, as the question asks for the incorrect statements. See, coming to third statement, it releases the global financial stability report and global economic prospects. See, we know that this statement is incorrect and see global economic prospects is published by World Bank. And the other one, the global financial stability report is released by IMF. And we also know that IMF releases the word economic outlook. So the correct answer is option D. With this, we'll move on to the next news. Now, see this question. It is based on this news article which talks about the Medical Council of India. According to the article, the Medical Council of India recommended a uniform procedure to be followed by all states on execution of bonds by medical students. The bond or agreement is applicable to those who agreed to serve state hospitals for a particular period in return for subsidized education. In this context, let us discuss in brief about the Medical Council of India and the newly formed National Medical Commission. Know that the Medical Council of India is a statutory body under the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956. This act was formed to regulate standards of medical education, then permission to start colleges, registration of doctors, standards of professional conduct of medical practitioners, et cetera. So Medical Council of India was a statutory body responsible for medical education and practice. Over the years, there have been several issues with the functioning of Medical Council of India with respect to its regulatory role, composition, allegation of corruptions and lack of accountability. And last year, the government enacted the National Medical Commission Act. And this act repealed the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 and dissolved the Medical Council of India. Apart from this, the act set up the National Medical Commission as an umbrella regulatory body with certain other bodies under it. Know that the National Medical Commission subsumed the Medical Council of India and would regulate medical education and practice in India. Under the act, the states were to establish the respective state medical councils within three years. And these councils will have a role similar to National Medical Commission at the state level. Now let us see some of the functions of National Medical Commission. First and foremost, it laid down policies for maintaining a high quality and high standards in medical education and make necessary regulations in this behalf. Then it laid down policies for regulating medical institutions, medical research and medical professionals and also make necessary regulations in this behalf. Now the function is to assess the requirements in the healthcare, including human resources for health and healthcare infrastructure and to develop roadmap for meeting such requirements. It is also empowered to frame guidelines for determination of fees and all other charges in respect of 50% of seats in private medical institutions. This is also applicable to the deemed to be universities which are governed under the provisions of this act. Finally, let us see the composition of National Medical Commission. See, the commission shall consist of a chairperson, then 10 ex-officio members and also 22 part-time members. The chairperson shall be a medical professional of outstanding ability, proven administrative capacity and integrity. He or she shall possess a post-graduate degree in any discipline of medical sense from any university and have experience of not less than 20 years in the field of medical sense. And out of this, for at least 10 years, he or she shall be a leader in the area of medical education. So this is all about National Medical Commission. Now have a look at this question. Consider the following statement with reference to National Medical Commission. The first statement reads, it is established under the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956. See, this statement is incorrect. As we have seen, it was established under the National Medical Commission Act of 2019, which repealed Medical Council of India. Now the statement two reads, it lay down policies for regulating medical institutions, medical researchers and medical professionals in India. See, this statement is correct. So we have to identify the correct statement or statements from these given statements. See, statement one is incorrect and statement two is correct. So the correct answer is option B, two only. With this, we'll move on to the discussion of practice questions based on today's news analysis. Now see this brilliant practice question. Consider the following statements with reference to black holes. It is a two statements question. The first statement reads, it is a region in space where the pulling force of gravity is so strong that even light can't escape. Yes, this statement is correct. The second statement reads, recently it was proved that the black holes are a direct consequence of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. Yes, this statement is also correct. We saw it on our discussion. So here in this question, we have to identify the incorrect statement or statements. See, both statements are correct. So the correct answer is option D, neither one nor two. Now we have a previous main-seer question which was asked in 2016. And we also have two practice main questions. Please write your answers and post it in the comment section. Our feedback will be given in a reasonable timeframe. And with this, we'll come to the end of analysis of all the news articles taken up for today's discussion and also the practice questions discussion.

I've spent the last five years growing hemp, legally in the state of Minnesota, and I have state and federal permits, and I grow fiber hemp, and what I see is we can make anything that they used to make out of fossil fuels, we can make it out of hemp. Now we're making the right choice, and we're growing hemp so that we can make a textile's economy out of it, a materials economy out of it, and make hemp batteries for the future so that we don't need to mine lithium. People have realized that you need to have local energy infrastructure because the grid will go down. People realize that you need to have local food infrastructure, and there's a lot less fossil fuels to get it, and that people have realized that hemp is part of the next economy. We call it the new green revolution. Our community, the indigenous community, is working to bring fiber hemp into the next economy. I am tremendously optimistic about people's ability to transform our societies and our communities, and in that I also know that there's much more joy in an economy that has good heart in it. And so, you know, when I look across Indian country and I look across the north, what I see is try to take in leadership and solar energy. I see our community doing solar thermal, where we are producing on-the-reservations solar thermal panels that we can provide so that all people can have more heat in their homes and don't have to rely on little companies for their heat. A lot more people are going to be involved and are going to want those. You can follow us on honor-earth.org, where you can see what we're doing in terms of the gest transition in bringing solar energy forth in northern Minnesota as well as hemp, and all of our work to transform the economy of northern Minnesota. Help us build the gest transition. Help us build the next economy.

Okay, my name is Anand Bala and I work with Zoom. I've been with Zoom for close to three years now. And I'd like to share a big, big thank you for everybody in this room, for standing through us, for helping us scale and for making Zoom ubiquitous in India when it comes to collaboration. So thank you, thank you for your business and thank you for everything that you've done in terms of feedback to help us grow. Today in the marketing world, our product stack, at least parts of it are ubiquitous for marketers, right? Almost everybody here I'm sure has heard, has used and been part of products such as a Zoom webinar or a Zoom event and have used the stack in some way to reach out for a consistent experience with your customers, right? But before I get into some of that, a quick question, how many of you have done a UPI transaction? Google Pay, GPay, okay? Anybody here who hasn't done, okay, no, just kidding. I think everybody here has done a UPI transaction. Why does it work so well? It's easy to use, right? Anybody and everybody can use it. From an 18-year-old, even a kid can possibly log in and figure out how to use a UPI transaction. To an 80-year-old, it's exceptionally easy to use. It's safe, it's secure, and it scales. And it scales exceptionally fast. Billions and billions of transactions that are happening far ahead of any other country, right? When we speak to our folks in finance and say, we need to bring UPI QR codes onto our invoices, they're saying, okay, what is this online transaction? We are far ahead of the rest of the world. Zoom is very similar in that perspective, in the sense that it's simple. Nobody's ever told me it's not easy to use. It just works, right? There was a time when I would have my 80-year-old kid and my 80-year-old dad and me, all three of us, at the same time, on a call, Zoom call, right at peak. Anybody and everybody is able to use and scale. We've seen that, right? Where we had, at one stage, we had over, I think, 300 million users on the platform at any given moment or minute, and it worked. It wouldn't fail us, right? Now, I'd like to also stand up. How many, okay, before that, how many people here are from a marketing background, okay? Big round of applause to all of you because you have been on a roller coaster over the last three years. The world has changed, it's gone up, it's gone all around. Fasten your seat belts time, multiple times. And now when the pandemic is far, far, far behind us and we are moving forward, Tushar, what's the cost of a one-way ticket from Bangalore, the approval you sent me yesterday? 18,000 rupees for a one-way ticket. How are you supposed to plan events with that kind of disruption happening from an economic standpoint, right? Everybody is asking for productivity. Shantanu even used the word kanjus, right? We all are in a place where we have to do far more with less and nobody knows that better than the folks in this room in marketing. So I am in some senses carrying cold to Newcastle here because if anybody knows how to stretch a rupee, it's probably the folks sitting in this room, right? 25% of folks who are interviewed under this survey said that the economic shifts that are happening are driving some of the decisions that we're having around marketing, right? There's another reality that's unfolding, right? We did this event a few weeks back in Bangalore and we thought we'd have all the CIOs come in. We realized that most of them were not when working out of Bangalore. They were still working out of home in fairly nice remote areas away from Bangalore's legendary traffic and pleasant weather, but they were working remotely, right? You've got your entire ecosystem working literally remotely and employees even today are saying two out of every three or two out of five days in a week or three out of five days in a week, please do not expect me to come into office, right? And as somebody from Bangalore, I will not discuss traffic any further. I will if you want discuss weather because I do be Delhi on that front, right? But what is the most important aspect from a marketer standpoint, right? We know the economic headwinds. We know the hybrid. We know that bringing people together is tough. Yes, the large events will continue to happen, but it's about content, right? We are seeing that the emphasis on content that marketers are creating is increasing. The way we need to measure it, how we deliver it and making that content available on demand is becoming critical, right? So you take what we've done, easy to use, simple, just works, works well in low bandwidth scenarios and you put products that cater specifically for events, large events, marketing events or even small events and make them available on demand, right? Imagine if this event was hybrid and you could have CMOs coming from all across the country listening into the session working from a hybrid environment to be able to deliver that on demand without having to think about what is the technology, what are the algos or having to spend a tremendous amount of money and bucket loads of people to configure such an event, that's where Zoom comes in to help, right? And I'm repeating that again, easy to set up your event, exceptionally easy to measure what are the outcomes. We integrate with almost every single CRM system out there. We've got a marketplace that has integrations, so you can pull leads back in, you can pull leads from your system, send them out, you can have a ticketing system in place as well, that'll tell you who can and cannot come into an event and you can have this event running on demand as well. So imagine a situation where you've actually brought four of IC levels together to speak to an audience, but you want to be able to replay and reuse this content again and again and again. We've launched something called Simulive very recently, which comes along with a product called Sessions, which will allow you to use this content on a consistent basis and reuse that, whereas now it just allows you to do far more in terms of your sessions and investments that you make, allows you to do far more for less, right? Very flexible as you go. Data is everything. I'm not gonna, again, once again, carry Colt Newcastle here, but data is absolutely critical to today's marketer. I know I keep asking Rima, who manages marketing for my team, this question every day, what's going to be your contribution to revenue this month, this quarter and this year? H1, where are we going to end in terms of revenue contribution? To be able to find the analytics, that'll be able to tell you from the events that I've run in a hybrid mode, from the events that I've done purely in a virtual mode, this is the amount of leads that we've actually generated and these are the amount of leads you would then go into your system and say leads that have been touched, right? And more importantly, bring your brand into this as well as you're building that through, right? The feedback that we have been getting from the market is a huge adoption that we are seeing around our webinar product. Two products that we launched recently are the sessions product and the events product. What's the main difference between our traditional webinar events and sessions? Just gives you a tremendous amount of capability around production, right? Like we have a lounge here in the back where speakers who are coming on stage can be prepped, you can mic them up and you can have a conversation in the lounge with other speakers before they come on stage. Giving that kind of capability pre-production and managing this kind of interaction that we're able to have in a live environment, including the networking that happens outside there, right? Those are functionality that we're bringing in and then to be able to also extract data from that kind of networking. So imagine if you have five stalls, five booths, you've got displays that are running outside to know who all came in and a bit more than just a fishbowl full of distinct cards. What were the questions that were asked? Are they appropriately manned, right? Have we been able to resolve other questionnaires? Capturing that information and feeding it straight back into your CRM system and other marketing tech that you use to be able to allow sales folks like me to pick up the phone and have a conversation that says, hey, Mr. Customer, we heard you had a question around this. Can you let me know why that was important to you, right? And have that conversation around what's driving the interest in what you spoke about. But the key aspect here is continuing, and I think it was referred to in the previous presentation as well. I think Deepak brought it up, continuing to have that human touch, right? To be able to continue to have that interaction, even in a virtual world, by providing the functionality to say three, four people together can actually interact in that virtual environment and in a hybrid environment, right? To be able to do events both ways, right? One amazing platform that brings four. Integrations such as SDKs, both for extremely customized solutions, you have video SDKs. We've got meeting SDKs that take all the bells and whistles that come with a traditional Zoom webinar or a Zoom meeting and deliver the same consistent experience for your customer, irrespective of which device from where and how they are joining. More importantly, click a button. It's easy to use and just works, right? 1,600 plus features launched in the last two years. We'll continue to innovate and we'll continue to innovate fast. I know many of you will have four questions to me around and when we bring Zoom phone to India, bear with me, it is coming. It's a few months away, but we'll get there. Now imagine the full stack, events, webinar, phone, chat, integrations with CRM and other marketing tools, along with SDKs and video SDK, all coming together under one screen, delivering that consistent experience. Step back and you look at the macro environment, the emphasis that's there on productivity to say get more done with less. Again, the answer is here. How do we keep replicating these events? You've done one well. You've learned something. How do we can it and keep launching it in every place? I have a customer who was running events in every single tier two town for his distributor network. We've now moved the whole thing onto the Zoom events platform. And most of the time they are doing a Simulive, where the keynotes are canned, well scripted, and local speakers come in towards the end, but the amount of interaction that they're able to have in that hybrid environment has driven a tremendous amount of interaction for them. Last but not least, keep it secure, keep it private, and make sure that information is very, very tightly secured. By the way, Zoom events does come under the social media regulatory. So we are a regulatory environment in India. So we are fully compliant there as well, where all chats that happen within that environment are closely monitored and we are compliant with what the government has, right? All of us, anybody here who's used the Zoom webinar? I'm sure most of us would have logged in at some stage. Thank you. My team does a good job then, okay. Classic use case, you want to do a small event, 150 people, one to many kind of environment, maybe up to 500. Yes, we do have capacities up to 50,000. But for those, we'd say go in for a Zoom session, and we also have now the ability to bring in professional services. We've done an event in Thailand where we had 50,000 plus people live on screen. A lot of it was orchestrated by our professional services team as well, right? The key difference between a Zoom sessions and a Zoom webinar is the branding that we allow you to bring in and customize the branding that you would like to see on the home screen. You're not seeing too much of Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, but you will be able to bring your own branding onto sessions, right? And the ability to ticket as well. Events, high-scale, you want to have booths, customer-facing, and you want to run multiple session tracks. You could have an event like this with five different tracks happening in a hybrid environment, you would go in for something like sessions there. I'm sorry, I'm going into a kind of like a product detail here, but at the end of the day, depending on your need and who your end customer is, the location and the scale and size of the event, we will be able to deliver a session for you, which you can manage yourself. And if you still say, Anand, I don't want to manage it myself, can you get guys to do it? We do have the professional services team to do it at well. I hope I've said on time, thank you very much. And by the way, it's very nice to meet people and talk to people in person without having to do it behind a Zoom screen. Yes, it does feel good when you do it that way as well. Thank you very much everybody.


Atomic layer deposition, ALD, is an ultra-thin film deposition technique that has found many applications owing to its distinct abilities. This review introduces the progress made in ALD, both for computational and experimental methodologies, and provides an outlook of this emerging technology in comparison with other film deposition methods. It discusses experimental approaches and factors that affect the deposition, and presents simulation methods.


Hello everyone. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I'd like to talk to you today about this upcoming City of Fort Worth project. My name is Bradley Radovich and I'm one of the project managers in the Transportation and Public Works Department's capital delivery team and I'll be the construction project manager for the upcoming Lake Como Phase 2 sidewalk project. This presentation was originally meant to be given at an in-person community meeting with the affected residents and other citizens who utilize this area. However, due to the city's response to the coronavirus outbreak, this presentation has been recorded in lieu of the actual meeting. This presentation is meant to provide you with a little information about the scope of this project that's happening in your neighborhood and give you a little bit of a heads up about what to expect with the upcoming construction. Here's an agenda of what I've hoped to cover today in my brief presentation. I'll be talking about the project as a whole, providing some background on the project, reviewing the scope of work, and providing you with information on the phasing and schedule of the construction. I'll also cover some frequently asked questions towards the end of the presentation. The location of this project was selected in order to complete a continuous walking route for Lake Como. The route started with Phase 1 of Lake Como sidewalks that have now been constructed and will be completed with this phase of the sidewalks. The project's scope includes installation of sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps to improve safety and walkability for pedestrians. City of Fort Worth being one of the blue zone cities encourages our residents to walk by providing them safe walking facilities. The project is funded by the Fort Worth Neighborhood Services Group. An in-person meeting with the neighborhood advisory committee was conducted for this project during the design phase on January 27th of this year. We were happy to meet the residents and discuss the project. This slide shows the project location and limits. The limits are Lake Como Drive at the termination of Phase 1 sidewalks, Lake Avenue to Merrick Street, and Merrick Street connecting to the other side of the Phase 1 sidewalks. The sidewalks will be installed along the east side of Lake Como Road and the north side of Lock Avenue with a small section along the south side and on the west side of Merrick Street. The sidewalks will be made ADA accessible and include ADA compliant pedestrian curb ramps. There will be two major crossings that will have striping and advance signage. During the design phase, the Neighborhood Advisory Council held a meeting on January 27th 2020 at the Lake Como Community Center. The attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and share comments or concerns. We wanted to share a couple of the questions and responses that were discussed at that meeting. Can the sidewalk be switched to the west side of Merrick? Yes, the sidewalk layout was updated to be constructed on the west side to eliminate crossing locations across Merrick. Another question is, can sidewalk installation on Hervey and L'Oval be included to create a continuous walking route? This question was taken under advisement and will be incorporated hopefully into future project and when funding becomes available. For the project schedule, we have completed the 60% design of the project and are currently working on the next step which is 90%. Our goal is to have the final plans completed this fall. We will be executing the construction contract in early 2021 and our anticipating start of construction this spring of 2021. The total cost of the construction for the sidewalks is approximately $250,000. The cost of construction will be finalized with the completion of the construction plans. The construction for this project will take approximately 120 days or four months. To maintain traffic flow and safety of the construction workers, this project will be constructed with portions of the existing roadways closed when necessary. It is not expected that construction will close a full line of traffic and two-way traffic will be maintained at all times. The construction is planned to only take place during the daytime hours. Now I'd like to review some frequently asked questions again about sidewalk projects in general and this project. Typical width of a sidewalk is five feet, Fort Worth standard when detached from the roadway curb and six feet when attached to the roadway curb. Where existing trees are located, the width may be reduced to four feet to preserve the tree and reduce the impacts to the routes. There will be several driveway reconstructions with this project, partial reconstructions. The contractor will provide advanced notice for interruption to driveway access to the tenants or the owners, property owners. If an existing irrigation system or grass parkway is impacted by the construction, the contractor is required to repair the site through pre-construction conditions. If an irrigation system is within the limits of the improvements, the system will be adjusted by the contractor. The contractor is very experienced in this, in these kind of projects throughout the city of Fort Worth and it will be, I think you'll find him very amenable to these situations so and the contractor will have to keep some materials and equipment on site during the construction. However, the travel lanes will be reopened and the contractor is required to clean the work site every day prior to leaving. As we move forward with this project, I'd like to share my contact information with you in case you have any further questions. We will have another public meeting hopefully after the COVID is over and definitely before the construction starts where you'll be able to ask more questions in person, hopefully. We look forward to improving the infrastructure within the city of Fort Worth, so thank you for your time.
