Hey guys, welcome back. So, see you in this side. And this is continuation of Power BI tutorial. So, as we have discussed in the last video, we have created the DIM address table. It's time to create the DIM item and DIM customer table. So, how we can create this? Go to on Power BI Desktop. And here, as I told you we can create the reference or we can create the duplicate. So, I am very happy to use the reference. So, this time, this is for the customer. so let me rename this with the dim customer so this is a dim and customer now here we just want to get only those columns which are the customer related so we need to remove other columns so go to on choose column and here we can see this is customer id then the account number and then build to address for those customers so these three columns will go inside the customer table so we can click on okay that looks good after that we need to remove the duplicate values so we can go to on this remove rows and here we can remove the duplicate so now we have created the dim customer table next we need to create the dim item table so how we can create the dim item table go to our main table and right click on this and create a reference and this time let me call this as dim product now we just want only two columns first is product id or product number second is product name so go to on choose column again and we are expecting only two columns so here this is our product name and product number now click on okay it looks good now we need to remove the duplicate rows so we can remove it it will take few seconds now it's done after that the product name should be the left column so we can drag and drop and rearrange the order of the columns so now it looks good in the dim customer customer id then the account number then the build to address it is also good then dim address table so finally we have created the address table and we have created the item table and we have also created the customer table so now there is no need to create this uh date dim date table over here because in the power vi we are having an option directly to get the date year quarter month and day so there is no need to create this dim date table so thank you so much for watching this video if you like this video please subscribe my channel to get many more videos don't forget to press the bell icon to get the notification of our newly uploaded videos thank you so much


Hi, everybody, we're back. This is Dave Vellante with Stu Miniman. We're here at Edge Live at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. Kevin Powell is here. He's the Flash Systems Business Line Manager for IBM. We've been talking Flash a lot. Probably, I don't know, Stu, at least a third of the content, maybe more that we've touched on has related to Flash. We talk big data, we're talking Flash. We talk Jeff Jonas. We end up talking about Flash.  We talk about Flash. Yeah, Flash is changing the architecture everywhere and touching everything. So Kevin, welcome to theCUBE. Really appreciate you coming on. Thank you, Dave. Welcome to have you. So Edge, the discussion last year actually wasn't much about Flash. You had some partners here. You guys were reselling some other people's products. That's cool. Bang, you make the TMS acquisition and all of a sudden, in typical IBM fashion, you're smoking. Got us off and running. That acquisition, kind of the first start tipping point, if you will, tip the iceberg in terms of getting the Flash ball rolling and really getting the value out to our customers. Yeah, and then April 11th, Steve Mills announces you're going to drop a billion into Flash. And he's done that before. He said that in analytics. He ended up putting in 10 billion. Right. He talked about that back in the Linux days. You know, I'm going to bet a billion dollars in open source. So you guys have a good track record there. And we've talked, we talked to Mike Hewn earlier today about, OK, what's happened since the 11th, but he underscored this big uptake, talked to Laura Gio, said, pipeline's good. You like that. So you guys had some announcements at this event. Talk about those a little bit and then we'll get into it. Sure. Really, the focus of this event has been extending the overall Flash portfolio. So on the April 11th event, we announced our IBM Flash system products, the standalone Flash arrays. But part of the focus of this event has been extending the fact that it's not just the IBM Flash system products, but the broader Flash portfolio across IBM. And so a couple of things announced in particular, some things around software. So some caching features, both in our DS8000 portfolio, we're actually taking the easy tier technology in the DS8000 that does tiering between disks and Flash today and extending that into the Flash in the server. So now we're connecting the Flash capability of the storage with the Flash capacity within the server and connecting that together with software. So that Flash capacity in the server is a PCIe connect? Correct. That could be an SSD drive form factor, 2.5 inch, 1.1 inch, or it could be in a Flash adapter form factor, so the PCIe cards. OK. And then so help me understand the connection between that layer and the DS8000 in this case. What are they doing? How are they talking to each other? And how does that translate into business value for customers? Sure. So first, it's kind of two layers, if you will. So first, there's caching. And then actually with the DS8000 we were achieving cooperative caching. So first, in the server at a caching, what the software will actually do is as you do reads and writes from the server to the storage, the server will actually determine, well, what am I most likely to read next and keep a small amount of that information local on the server within Flash within the server for a small amount of capacity, very high response time co-located right in that server. And so that's caching we actually could deliver. We did a statement of direction on software. We're going to deliver a system exit that will do caching, as well as caching now with the DS8000. So sorry, that's a read cache. That's a read cache. So it's not a persistent medium, or is it? It's a read cache, or a read cache right through. So any writes would happen, would write through to the persistent sand behind the data, behind the server. Which would go to the write cache in the array, and then eventually asynchronously trickle back to the spinning disk. Correct, so it could be to a storage array that is all Flash, or it could be to a storage array that was disk or even a mix of Flash and disk with a storage. So a storage array that's all Flash, obviously you don't have a destaging bottleneck. Correct. Storage array that's spinning disk, you're going to back up at some point. Right. And in the old days, you'd add more disk, maybe you're better off adding Flash. So we've been focusing a lot prior to this with the DS8000 on easy and store-wise portfolio as a sand volume controller, on easy tier, the ability for the system automatically to move data between a Flash sheet level tier and a disk tier for hot data. And what this announcement now enables is to extend that all the way to the server so the system can really prioritize what information is hottest, it shouldn't stay even on the server in Flash, what information is hot, but maybe need across multiple servers so it's on Flash within the storage, and then what information is colder, and I'll put on spinning media in the storage. Kevin, I'm wondering if you can talk a little bit kind of competitively. Last week, Dell talked about their Flash Cache technology doing something similar. A month ago, EMC talked about how they've got their server-based solution going down. We've dug through a lot of the tiering solution. IBM tends to focus on really trying to fully automate that technology versus trying to put too many knobs in there. How does this fit into that and what can you say about the competitive aspect against what you've seen out there? Sure, and that's where, there are a couple of vendors out there, they're starting caching is obviously not a new concept. So customers and vendors out there with caching, what's really key and different from our perspective is with the DS8000, it's cooperative caching. So what that really means is instead of just individual servers doing caching, the DS8000 and the easy tier functionality is aware of all the cache on the different servers and can act as a central intelligence to control all of that information. So if that centralized server needs to do a copy, a mirror, a backup, or it even knows one server has written the information and that's devalidated, it can tell another server, hey, your cache is no longer the latest, go update your cache. So it's taking the caching technology that you might deliver just on a server side and giving it kind of a centralized intelligence with the storage environment to coordinate multiple servers doing their caching as well as tiering within the storage itself. So do we get through all the announcements? Well, if we've gotten up through the announcements, if I look at kind of the Flash portfolios out there, there's the server-based solutions, there's that mixing between the server and the storage, you've got the Flash systems, which is kind of the point solution for all Flash. What about hybrid systems? It's been getting a lot of buzz, there's a lot of startups in that space, new architectures that has not just the one to two percent, but more Flash in there, kind of the Flash first when it comes to the rights. Does IBM have a play there? What do you think about that? Yeah, so in the hybrid environment, that's actually, we've been doing that in there, our store-wise in DS8000 since 2008, and the new Flash systems are kind of all Flash already. So to put into context a little bit, step back, really the IBM Flash portfolio, it's three different major categories. You have IBM Flash Storage, which is our IBM Flash system, or all Flash DS8000 or hybrid DS8000 store-wise products. You have IBM Flash software, where the capabilities we just talked about with things like caching, and then you have our direct-attach portfolio. So IBM Flash adapters, Flash drawers that attach directly to our power and our system X servers, as well as disk capacity. So the hybrid environment, we're still seeing a lot of customers' interests, where they're using the Flash, particularly with easy-tier technology of store-wise, Sandvine controller or DS8000, to optimize, okay, I have a Flash capacity for my house data, I'll see 200, 300% performance improvements over with my current capacity by putting in just five, 10% Flash capacity in front of my current disk capacity. Okay, so do we get through the announcements, or anything else that? That's the key, really, the software is a new piece, and then just accentuating the fact of the broader portfolio. So we talked a lot this week about customers putting a couple use cases. One is the application is doing the storage management, replication, data protection, whatever, and you drop a Flash system right in, and it's pretty clean. The other use case was dropping behind in SVC, we had one customer, Sprint was on today, we talked about that with Karima, Abdullah. Where do you see that going? Is that, are you guys, is, question, a lot of people ask, is that a stopgap? Are you going to try to build out your own stack with Flash systems, or is SVC the stack strategy? Can you talk about that a little bit? So there's two parts of that. There's the fact of current bundling buying the two products together and putting it, and then there's what's the right software feature stack, and the, while the bundle itself today is a stopgap that we're continuing to invest on, the core SVC code that we leverage across Sandvine Control Storewise is a strategic code base for us and feature set that we are looking to bring to the Flash system portfolio. So you'll see over time, and we're seeing the marketplace is the all Flash array marketplace really bifurcating the two aspects. One being customers focused on pure performance. They want the lowest latency, highest performance, they don't want any software features or anything getting in their way. They're purely performance driven. And then there's another set of customers we're finding that need high performance, need low latency, but they also need some of the enterprise feature stack, copying, mirroring, virtualization capability. And that's where today, we recommend the Sandvine Controller with their IBM Flash system products, and in the future, that's where we're going to be integrating those technologies together. So as a single IBM Flash system offering, you have the choice of pure performance with feature rich software stack. Okay, so when you say over time, you're going to integrate those, you mean as a, is that a packaging go-to-market strategy? Or are you talking about extracting the function out of SVC and super gluing it into? I'm talking literally about taking that software code base and bringing in, doing further performance optimizations on the hardware. So right now we have a system where you can use a Sandvine controller in front of a Flash system. We've tested them, we've tuned them, they work great together, but we also think there's places in the future where we can actually bring that software code indirectly and optimize it for that high-performance Flash hardware base and deliver even further integration over time. I see, okay, so make that code portable over time, and then of course, and then it fits into an SDS strategy, perhaps, it's behind an SVC, or like you say, direct connect to where the application does a pure performance and nothing get in the way, or something in the middle, which has a lot of legs as well. Right, so you have that choice and balance of absolute extreme performance, lowest latency, or I need high-performance low latency, but I need some mirroring, some copying, some other feature-rich capabilities.  What were some of the decision points that went into that? First of all, how would you describe sort of the flavors, the choices that you had, and why TMS? Sure, yeah, actually I was involved at the Institute of Diligence, and that was a great experience. I think one thing we see in the marketplace, as in a typical environment that was up and coming, new ideas, a bunch of small companies coming out, maybe some VC funding, some ideas, but not necessarily a lot of companies that had really market experience, and that was one of the things we fell in love with Texas Memory System, they had over 30 years in the marketplace, they had a product that was outshipping, proven with customers today, and had that real-life experience versus just good ideas. So in some instances, we almost referred to Texas Memory System as a 30-year-old startup, because they really almost acted in that fashion, small team, very energetic, very quick from a development standpoint, but still real market experience, having been there, having sold in the marketplace, and dealt with DRAM based products originally, then flash technology, but solid-state storage devices really for their duration. So what do you think's going to happen in this business? You would expect a lot of consolidation, right? I mean, the market's really not going to support whatever. I don't know how many vendors are out there, it's got to be 50, 60, some way, shape, or form, and some sort of leading the pack, but you guys have made your move, EMC has made its move, see what HP does, Oracle has yet to make its move, although it's developing some stuff that appears internally. There's just, there aren't a lot of whales left to buy these companies. So what do you think's going to happen? I mean, do you think it's going to be like the tier 1.5 was, where they all disappear and get absorbed, or is this market big enough and hot enough to support some startups going IPO, or do you have an opinion on that? Yeah, I guess my own personal opinion. I think you'll definitely see the consolidation to particularly the major storage vendors, particularly in the enterprise marketplace. I think there's still places where we'll see innovation and software feature stack and capabilities that will cause new ideas to come up with new startups. So to me, it won't just consolidate, there'll always be fresh ideas, but it's becoming a scenario to us where flash is everywhere. I mean, you walk around an event like this and pretty much almost everyone has flash in their pocket with a cell phone or some other device. So it's really getting a point of a matter of not are you going to use flash, but how much are you going to use and are you going to use it in your server, your storage, where are you going to integrate it in? So we do see that consolidation in the marketplace. Yeah, and we were talking before about the DS8000 and basically how that's incorporating flash and you're seeing that across the industry, but part of me just says, well, at some point, why not just drop in and all flash array and I'll be happy, like my laptop doesn't have a spinning disk. That's where I'll never have a spinning disk in. I've sworn myself off spinning disk. Not that there's not a role for it. There certainly is, but the idea of short stroking spinning disks is sort of arcane. So am I overstating that?  Well, and tapes are very good analogy. So just like tape, I don't think the spinning disk will go away completely, but as you mentioned, doing things like short stroking, 15K speed drives, trying to do the high performance disk segment as spinning disks, that is where flash is really taking over. And that's where we really see that market disappearing as a disk market and the high performance that moving to flash, but disk will remain as the larger capacity, small, you know, slower speed for the cold data. And just like tape's still around and still viable business for that cold as data, we really see that becoming the scenario with disk where you'll have a mechanical spinning disk for the large capacity and flash really being your performance layer. What are your, I wonder if you also have an opinion if you can talk about the whole notion of atomic rights. We've talked about a lot about that at Silicon Angle Wikibon. We get excited about it because of the potential to change the way in which applications are designed. I know you guys have, you know, partnerships with guys like Fusion IO and you've looked at that very carefully. What are your thoughts on that as far as the viability of that? Is it problematic and that essentially you got to change the way in which you write software? But or at the same time, it's appealing and alluring because you're bypassing the overhead of say the SCSI stack. I wonder if you could talk about that a little bit and share with us either your point of view or IBM's. Yeah, so I think that's one of the places where we are seeing innovation above and beyond just, you know, faster hardware, faster NAND capability with things like atomic rights. And I do think it's going to be disruptive to the software stack, but that flash overall is almost disruptive to the software stack. So we're already in a lot of conversation with our own DB2 teams and other ISVs and application vendors to say, okay, you've done all this work prior to now to avoid IO. You've tried to do in-memory database and do other things to avoid IO. Now you have high speed IO. Now you have all flash storage. How do you better optimize that? How do you start changing your application stack? So whether it's atomic rights or other innovations, I think there is going to be a change in the application layer and the OS layer to start to say, hey, we have to take advantage of this capability in servers and in storage because that IO bottleneck's not going to be. Yeah, and in-memory's cool, but it's expensive and it's not persistent. Correct. So those two things are problematic and presumably flash can solve that. But I wonder if we could have a follow-up question on that. So you've got a standard emerging NVMe, which looks like it's going to take forever to get out of the committees. It'd be great if we're here today and the industry could adopt it. So is IBM strategy to wait? Will you try to develop your own or no comment? Well, I can't comment specifically about that one, but I will comment. I mean, we're not waiting in overall, right? So we're investing a lot of money with the public $1 billion statement in the investment, but our R&D team, even prior to this, has always focused on how do we better leverage flash technology, how do we better leverage the application stack and we always as a company try to be a leader in terms of setting standards in the industry.  The problem with atomic rights is to get there, it's very disruptive. You can't get from point A to point B without essentially either ripping or replacing or completely changing the way you develop applications. Technically, do you think it's even feasible to have a technology that is not disruptive but still gets the benefits or even something that's close, maybe even some kind of hybrid? Is that even technically feasible? Well, I think we are seeing a move where there's a lot more focus of the application stack on fully integrated solutions and that's the easiest place for something like that to start. Not going out and trying to deliver a standalone storage device and you're not sure what the OS, the application environment, but things like peer systems where our peer data for operation on the lakes today uses a large flash capacity, places like that where we are delivering the application layer, the OS layer, all the way down to the storage, I think that's one of the places where you'll start to see that test out where you can deliver specific industry applications, leveraging that capability because you have the complete stack and I think we're uniquely positioned to be able to deliver that complete stack solution and then through our customers. All right, Kevin, I'm going to give you the last word here. You're talking to customers, they're sort of questioning, ah, flash is expensive, I'm not really sure where to use it or I can use it a little bits and pieces here, but I'm interested, I want to get started. What's the advice that you give to those clients? I think the biggest thing I would say is, you got to try it. So we have established flash centers of competencies around the world, benchmarking centers where customers can come in and get their hands on. I've been through multiple product generations across server and storage and I've never seen anything like this that has the success ratio. When customers actually get their hands on it, they run their production data on it. We heard from some of our customers earlier today saying, well, hey, I put it in our performance in our test environments, but then our production even performed better than I expected.  Drop it in and hang on for the ride. Kevin Powell, thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Really appreciate it. All right, keep it right there. Everybody will be back with our last guest and then we're going to wrap. Vincent Su is coming on. He's the CTO of the IBM Storage Business. Storage is changing. We've been covering it here for the last two days, IBM Edge. This is theCUBE. Keep it right there, but right back.


things that are sort of about the quality of HTML and what it displays and the first question is what is correct HTML one of the nice things with HTML but it's actually a bit problematic is that browsers modern browsers are really really good at displaying incorrect HTML at displaying even pure garbage they do that in a very nice way so for example you have learned that a paragraph should have a paragraph and tag if we just add another p tag in the beginning and we just forget about the n tag it will still display it properly somehow we can do the nesting wrong we can for example do a paragraph and then it contains a b tag and that means at first the b tag should be close than the p if we reverse it the chance is that the browser still displays it very well so oftentimes and I had lots of discussions previously with students about their assignments I get complaints that the website looks exactly as we wanted to look but still it's not full points it's not perfect and the reason is in many many cases that it's incorrect HTML now we are not just being picky about incorrect HTML because we want to be but the problem is if you use bad style or if you write HTML that is not correct it might lead to errors in cases that you are not aware of one of them is simply that you might look at it with a different browser or a different browser version and suddenly it looks different than it does on your machine so it could be that you simply break the website for some people and you're not aware of it the other thing is once we use CSS and once we use JavaScript we want to automatically process the HTML we want to add layout we want to maybe change the look of the website when when a button is pressed or when the user does something or finally maybe an automated tool like a search engine is looking at your code so they somehow parse your HTML code and then if it's incorrect this might lead to errors and believe me in particular writing code and and trying to find an error in your code if the error is actually in your HTML can be really really painful and can take a lot of time so that there you have to be really careful that you get HTML correct and therefore there are style guides how to give basically give advice what to do and how to write good code and there is a validator for HTML and we'll look at both of them so they help you to figure out to write proper HTML and the style guide is a nice start so you can look at that it's the reference number three here so if we just open that you'll get some advice on how to code so for example something we'll get to in a second but usually a recommendation is to use a syntax that is close to the X HTML standard the writing code but that's we'll get more there later then you should use the correct document type because if you use a different one then maybe the browser interprets it wrongly and things like that so these are basically recommendations that make your code more readable close all HTML tags so actually in HTML 5 you are not required to have all the n tags but you should do that as a convention so if you start it you should also end it because you never know what will happen in the future for example and I already mentioned it for empty HTML elements it's kind of a good convention to add this end indication that basically helps so these are just some recommendations how to do it nicely so that you can read things but then you have the validator so that's reference number four here and the validator checks against the standard so you can you can send in a URI or you can upload a file or you can even just paste HTML code and it checks whether it's correct or whether you're actually violating some recommendations and you can of course look at a standard and you can try to figure out what are all the things that I have to do but the best way here is simply learning by doing so you could for example let's take the basic one you could just take this HTML code paste it in here and do check and then it will display you all the problems so here we only have one warning it says well maybe you want to add a language attribute so that it's clear which language we're using and why we want to do that we can get to later but there are no errors here but for example if I forget the end tag for the body it might give me a an error no it doesn't so that's then because HTML5 does not require me to close it however there are other things that might produce an error one of them is that the title is a required tag as far as I remember so if I remove the title I'll get an error saying the element head requires a title so that's something you should fix and let's just fix this here so now it's validating again and this will also find problems such as the nesting so if I for example do the paragraph I do some text then I use a B tag and then I end my paragraph and then I add my B tag it should hopefully complain so you'll see that and tag P is seen but there are still some open elements that you haven't closed B should be closed so this is one of those cases where the validator can help you and in this course we are extremely picky that your code is free of error so whenever you submit something you should make sure that it validates without errors warnings are fine for us and we do this as discussed because this is really relevant in practice and it's generally a good practice to do that so you should always make sure that your code validates correctly so make sure to check that now we talk about xHTML as you have seen that was the recommendation in the style guide to use xHTML syntax conventions and xHTML is an older standard which is basically html in in XML format that's a different markup language xHTML is stricter so it it is basically putting a lot of requirements on you and it's understood by all browsers the good thing is it can be parsed by by XML parser so there are lots of tools lots of libraries that can process XML automatically so that works and you can also validate it in the validator so that's also possible xHTML is slightly different it basically the first tag is not the dog type but instead you have this XML tag which is required because otherwise it's not valid XML then the dog type itself I showed this in the beginning it has this rather cryptic definition but that basically defines use the xHTML one transitional standard and then finally the HTML tag has this additional XML namespace tag so that's correct xHTML but then there are a number of additional restrictions one of them is xHTML is case sensitive so there is a difference whether you write a ref like this or like this so it wants to you to use lower case whereas in regular HTML you can just do that however you want it doesn't matter xHTML requires you to end the empty tags so it's not okay to just do like this and you have to have the m tag so as we discussed html 5 is fine with with this xHTML is not you have to have all n tags attribute values need to be in quotes again this is something that html 5 does not care about so this is perfectly fine this is xHTML and finally the nesting has to be correct even though as we have just seen that also is the case in html 5 to some extent and now as I've discussed in the style guide the recommendation is to use these syntax guides so even though you don't require all of this in html 5 it's good practice to follow that because it makes things more readable good but you can see that in the validator you can also validate xHTML easiest is maybe if we go to the file upload because they can explicitly select you can say that we want is to be xml 1 xHTML 1 now if I select the file all the files I have are html 5 so they should actually cause problems in the validation so you see if we check this seven errors and a lot that has to do with for example the xm xml namespace attribute that I've discussed is not there I'm using an attribute that doesn't exist I don't know what why this is the case I had probably next xHTML so that the lots of things I haven't closed my empty tags and so on so you see that xHTML is much more strict than html 5 if I use html 5 here there should not be any errors sorry I have to upload it again see and now there's only one warning so whether or not your html is correct depends also on the version that you using xHTML pure xHTML is really not used so much because html 5 really has more features is nicer and xHTML has basically disappeared so not many people are using it the reason I show you is is really the recommendation we have to see in the style guide most people use the syntax recommendations of xHTML as a recommendation and this is really to avoid errors like you do with coding conventions in other programming languages good html 5 is as I discussed initially it's a living standard it has somehow at some point it has moved away from the fixed standards and was developed by a different group that's really not so important the important thing is that really it's the D standard that is used nowadays what they did is they removed some old elements and that's mainly stuff that was in html for layouting so in the very beginning there were lots of tags that were used for layouting for example you had a tag called center to centralize text and the argument is to say that center or layouting is not a concern of html you should use CSS for that so they removed this kind of stuff and then they added a number of other features so for example you have the svg tag to display vector graphics you can define that you have additional tags to display media like video audio and there are some kind of other features like drag and drop so they added some new stuff if you want all the details on that you will have to look it up in the first two literature references there is quite some detail on that the other thing that is really really important are so-called semantic elements so html 5 introduced certain elements that in a in a regular browser they don't show in any different way but they have a special meaning so it's similar to a diff they don't really have any style they don't have any layout but they have a meaning to it and that's for example the article tag and if you put text within the article tag it simply means that this is somehow an article if you put something in main it means well this is the main part of the website if you put something in nav it's the navigation part of the website so what this does is it just gives a meaning to your content otherwise if you have a p tag a paragraph it's impossible to tell whether this is a detail whether it's a header whether it's a main part so you only know it's a paragraph you don't know what the meaning is of it and that's changed with these semantic elements and the big question here is of course why would you do that because you can also just use diffs right you could just use a diff and you can if you want to say that it's a header you could give it a class name for example so the question is why and the main answer to that is accessibility and this is something this is a concept that many people sadly don't care about but it's getting more and more increasingly important one of the things we had in the very beginning is that there are different needs in the worldwide web I mentioned I showed you the statistics on internet use and therefore example we saw that in Iceland you have 96% using the internet in Africa is 21% so internet access is of course one of the things the other obvious things you might have are that people are using different devices I'm using a laptop here you can use your smartphone you have different operating systems you have different browsers and so on we don't think about it much but we obviously have different internet speeds if you go to areas where there is not much network coverage or if you go to countries that are not as developed you might have internet speeds that are really really slow and of course it's finally also the people you might have blind people or people with color blindness or you might have people that have that are like aesthetics that have harder time to understand or read certain parts you might have different impairments and this is where accessibility comes in so the idea is to say that the web is really designed it should work for all people it doesn't matter what what kind of hardware they use software language location ability so really you should make your website as usable as possible and the goal of the World Wide Web is to make it accessible to all of these people this is of course especially important if you for example are working for a government you might be required to do that if you are doing for example a healthcare provider website you have to make sure that everyone can access it so you have to support for instance blind people and not so important but it might be an extra motivation if you have an accessible website it also means that search engines find it in an easier way now how do you make a website accessible one is one way of doing that is reading reference number six which shows you a lot of different ways of making your website accessible five also has some practical tips but basically what it means is your website is easier to process automatically and this is where the semantic elements come in so if you use a header tag you tell the tool that is processing your html code that here is a header your diff does not tell that because this here is just some text and an automated tool will not be able to figure out that header means this is the header part of your website so imagine for instance you're blind then you probably want to use a tool that automatically reads the html code and reads it out loud to you so the sound in your phone or in your laptop actually tells you what is on the website and that way if you have these semantic elements is much much easier to figure out for example i want to read the main part of the website then maybe you should use the main tag images for instance should have the alternative tag as we discussed before the alternative attribute sorry so this kind of additional text that gives you a description of what is in the image because even if the image file is found if you for instance blind then you need this text explanation you could also be using a tool a browser that simply does not have a graphical front end and then you cannot see the picture so you might want to have the text hyperlinks can have titles so you can give them the title attribute and then you know the purpose of the link so you don't only know where it's going and what it says but it also tells you sort of what can you expect if you click on here so again if you have a tool that reads your website it can tell the user follow this link to get more information on cats metatags we have seen so they give you additional information on the website for example the keywords and again this is something for automated processing this is mainly about automated processing hearing blind people other impairments but you should also think about internet speed browser compatibility age of users culture and so on so internet speed for example tells you maybe you should not use super high resolution pictures for everything because then in some regions people will simply not be able to use your website it's too slow or you should not use any features that you know only work in a certain browser in the first lecture we have seen the example of of this one design website that was made compatible only for a certain amount of browsers that's really bad practice and then we have more soft issues that have to do with the content or what you put in there so age of users is often it's of course not always but it's often related with more difficulties to work with electronic resources for instance so maybe there's a way of making it easier for them to understand it for example it doesn't require lots of technological knowledge or skill there might also be cultural issues so this is something to think about but it's more on the content level not how to write the code but this is really really important last year we had a guest lecture on accessibility among others and they showed a tool called google lighthouse which is an automated tool that looks at your website and it tells you essentially how good it is in terms of quality so it doesn't care about how beautiful it is how how how it displays whether it has errors in the html but it shows at performance how quick is it so that's for example the internet speed it shows specifically looks at accessibility are you using all the alternative tags are you using semantic elements it looks for example at search engine optimization and so on so this is if you have chrome you can test this and it's increasingly popular to also look at these things because it's not only important that your website works and that it has the right information but it should also be accessible and performant so this is very important but of course many times this is an afterthought because it's very easy to make a website work and you mainly want to have your content and then maybe you don't think about all of this so do not forget about that it's an essential and increasingly important part of web development okay to summarize these lectures html is a markup language that uses so-called tags to produce hypertext text with links and of course nowadays we have a lot of other things pictures videos structure essentially there are lots of different html versions around and usually browsers support all of them but they might look slightly different in different browsers and you have to make sure that you use you declare your version correctly and you make sure it's valid a valid html document always has a doc type where you declare the version it has an html tag a head and a body it conforms to a number of different rules depending on the version for example that you close all your tags but in general it's very easy to produce html that is displayed in the browser the question is is it actually valid and this is something you can check for example with the w3c validator html elements and tags carry a meaning so they have semantics and that's really important because the layout can be changed so you can for example we discussed the headers earlier where you have h1 to h6 the important thing is that h1 is more important than h2 how they look i can change and i can change that very easily for example using css so the important thing about html elements is what they mean not how they display and finally we went into accessibility and to make a website accessible you should follow essentially the the conventions that we discussed and make sure that things are formed they run on different internet speeds they have additional meta information so that's it for this class in lecture five and six we'll cover css so then we finally go away from the pure structure that looks horrible but we start by adding layout and that's for example how to add colors how to position things and so on we mainly look at the background the principles of css and then with lots and lots of examples specifically in the end we look into the box model and flexbox which is all about positioning things and then we end up with responsive web design which is which has to do with your website adapting to for example different screen sizes or different devices so that's it thank you for watching


In the preceding videos, the reason we had to do input before the loop and at the bottom, or set a boolean to tell whether the loop is done, is because the while loop checks for the condition before it does the loop body. If the initial test of the condition comes back false, the loop body never happens at all. But we need to ask for input at least once. To handle the case when you want to go through a loop at least once, Java provides the do while loop, whose flowchart looks like this. The loop body happens first, and then the condition gets tested. You are guaranteed at least one trip through the loop. Here's how you write it in Java. You must follow the condition with a semicolon to end the do while statement. Here's the code for our leap year test program using do while. We start with do, and in the body of the loop, we'll prompt for input. If it's not zero, we'll check to see if it's a leap year or not and print the result. We do all of this as long as the year is not equal to zero. Let's compile and run it and see that it works exactly the same as the others. In summary, while test the condition first, if it's false, the loop body won't be executed at all. Do while test the condition last, the loop body will be executed at least once.


I think she's feeling really nervous. It was like when I was standing at the altar. She is well aware that she could have tried harder throughout this process. She's not feeling 110% confident about this. I'm so anxious. She lost any weight? She toned up? Is this going to be a good reveal? Oh my god, I can't wait to see her. Wow, you look beautiful. Oh, look at his little face waiting for his queen. Thank you. I love you. I love you. I'm looking forward to spending my whole life with her. She's a beautiful person. She looks sexy. She's amazing.   That's it. This is me. But better. What do you think? She looks hot. She looks well. Beautiful. Beautiful. Amit's reaction was absolutely priceless. He said he wanted to be speechless and he certainly was. That's what I like to call achieving your goals, mate. Sheena, you wanted your sexy ex on the beach moment. When you walked out of the sea, hair flying everywhere. Literally. Abundance. Did you get that? I did. 100%. And I'm so happy with the results.  I love her. And I'm really pleased that we've given her this head start. I'm ready to start the honeymoon now. Ricky, I'll see you later. Understandable, Nick. See you later. See you later. Bye. I'll, er... I'll be at the bar then.


I think you would agree Shanghai is one of the wealthier, more modern parts of China. As you see China developing, you see traditional markets to some extent in some parts of China fading away. Supply chains become longer, large companies play a bigger role, the refrigerator plays a new role in the food supply chain, so things can sit around for longer. Do you wonder that a lot of Chinese food will become bad in the way that American food has become bad, and if that happens will it come to Shanghai first? Or are you more optimistic than that? I think you can see all these things happening, and it is very sad. So for example, restaurants that I knew, I mean this is in Chengdu, restaurants where they made all their dumplings from scratch, like maybe 15, 20 different kinds every day, now we'll buy some of them in ready-prepared. Supermarkets stock sort of easy seasoning packets to make mapo tofu, you know, this kind of thing. And then in the cities, there's a huge loss of cooking skills, young professionals often rely on their parents to cook for the children at home, and they the middle generation are not learning traditional cookery, they're not learning how to pickle and cure, so there's all this being lost. And people, you know, they lead more hectic lives and they are increasingly eating ready-prepared food. So I think you can see that China is going down the same sad path as the rest of us in some ways. But the thing that gives me hope is that, you know, in China food is understood so deeply as the foundation of health and happiness, and it has been a culture that is so obsessed with food. And they have this wonderful resource that I hope people will sort of, I mean some people are now getting to the point of kind of looking at Chinese food as a kind of cultural artifact and something valuable to be preserved, you know.


Ni kupuwa kabisa, luku haubati shangi. Ah, mazi, this is... Inkisubu wotu na semanga, inkisubu kila mukuwa kuna suti. Ni kama pajama. Luku from head to toe ko sababu, no, no, mepega luku hii nishlinginga piya kuku. Hii, ni pesamingi, but we are humble. Because we are humble, we won't even say how much is it, but just know we are looking good. No matter what you're going through, no matter the hardship, kama wuja umesota, umelalanja, but luku... Lazima, it remains constant. Constant.  We don't look like your problems at all. Wonezu kumifungi wa nyumba nilandu leo, lakini asubu hii wumengarambaya. Wadu ahu yuli toko kwa dirisha, wu kikuja kwa yu event? Yes, so it's all about you have to look good. Aha, now of course Tumbili, I'm sure your fans are wondering how are you doing health wise? How has it been going on with you? Ah, you guys, as you can see, we are back. We are looking. Ah, sunona mashavu zimionza. Yeah, but I can say right now, I'm good health wise. I'm back to work, we're doing gigs. Yeah, we're having events here and there. Yeah, so we're back to work. This is what we do how to do best. So health wise, tick. Yes, God has been good. What about your mental health? How has it been? Because I mean you really went through quite a lot.  Mental health, I think I'm good. Yeah, I'm also good.   We embrace what you love doing.  Yeah, once you know what you love doing, ah, this is easy kwa. Yeah, so mentally, ah, I'm a happy man. You're a happy man. Yes. You know, I was just talking to Obina right now and he was talking about, you know, gender based violence, especially in men. What are your thoughts about it? Do you support that men should speak up or are you the type to say, kakimuanaume? Well, gender based violence is wrong in all levels. Yeah, from a lady, from a man, nobody should ever be beaten in the name of love or nobody should be abused in the name of Tudapendana. No, no, no, if it's not working out, walk out. Yeah, maybe I'm one of those guys if there's a problem, go report it kumakarao. Or that is, if at all, you guys cannot do away with the love in yamukonayo. Yeah, let it go. You don't have to kill yourself because of love. Yes. If it's not working, walk out. Yeah. Okay. So in GBV, if your partner is abusive in any way, be it physically, it can also be mentally. Yeah, just walk out. Yeah, you will find a better man or a better woman. Yeah. We are some time back with so Sandra Dacha, you obey. Yeah. My baby, we are still good. Ah, kwanza hatatu me kuja nae? Ya, nimi wana kuja. Abebo. Come say hi. Hi, nini kia isaida maele. Isaida kuja isaida. Okay. Yes. Luku, luku. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it.

Active transport is defined as a transport that basically requires energy, okay, active transport requires energy to move molecules against, that says against, against, I think I did spell that correctly, against the concentration gradient. Now, active transport requires a transport protein, some kind of molecule that's embedded in the cell membrane that's going to do the work of the transport action. If you think about a channel, a channel is a tunnel, and so a channel is never going to be able to do active transport because it doesn't do anything. Now, a transporter that opens to one side and then the other side can. So look at this. We're going to look at a process called primary active transport, which basically requires a direct source of energy. And I want you to think about this for a second. Diffusion down a concentration gradient requires energy, but the energy comes from passive diffusion. The random molecular motion that all those molecules have, that provides the energy to move the molecules to spread them out until we reach equilibrium. When we're pumping, when we're actively moving molecules against their concentration gradient, that is not going to happen by random movement. It's like, here's my little analogy. Are you ready? It's like imagine you're in a classroom with me. Isn't it fun? And the door, there's a door. There's only one door into this classroom. And there's like all of you guys are in there. So let's just say there's 100 people in the classroom. All the seats are taken. There's some people standing on the walls because you know I'm pretty popular. And so of course you want to come into the classroom and see me, except I'm not letting you out because the walls are impermeable to you. You can't get through the walls and I've got a bouncer at the door. So good luck. You're stuck. You get to listen to me and you have to stay now. In addition to that, I want to get more people in this very crowded room. I suppose if I offered them cookies, they might come. If I offered them money, they might come.  All three of those require energy. Do you agree with that? It's not free.  They'd be like, cool, there's nobody in here and there's free cookies, like dude, I'm in. And maybe a pile of money, that'd be awesome too. But otherwise, I'm going to have to like force you to come into my very crowded room because it's really crowded. Even though I'm going to have to like feed you cookies and force you. And all of that is going to require energy. Did you follow my little analogy? Because here's the energy. Energy in your cell is in the form of ATP. So this little transporter is only going to work to bring sodium out, this is my sodium, and potassium in. It's only going to work if I have cellular energy. It's money, it's cookies, it's candy, it's ice cream, right there. Dude, come in, potassium, get out, get the sodium against your concentration gradients and I'll give you a little hookup of ATP here. It'll be worth your time. The ATP provides the energy to pump against the concentration gradient. Whoa, direct source of energy. We're going to contrast this to secondary active transport because it doesn't require the direct source of energy.


All righty, welcome back you are still hanging out with us right here on a why in the morning today being entrepreneurship Tuesday We've got you with lots of interesting conversations like I always say Fun and fun friend laughter to kick start to your morning. You can plug in using the hashtag why in the morning? That's everyone all our social media platforms and you can also find us at why if you're trying to fight for channel That's on Facebook Instagram and Twitter as well and remember an Instagram is right to for underscore channel And you can also find me at our Brian Sakawa one everywhere and also show media platforms as well And remember to stream in for free by the way on www.kbc.co.k e four slash y two five four. Good morning. Welcome back I'm Brian Sakawa and the joining me right at live in studio with us today is a polo gola We're going to talk about matters the Kenyan film Acting and also that the business as well So if you want to know a few things about the industry he's here to actually paint for us a picture as we also get to know him He's Johnny he has featured in so many films He has had a chance to work with the big works of the film industry as well as many other people that definitely you see on your screen Send your billboards very often. He's here with us and own that note. Good morning to you. Good morning to you Brian Thank you for coming through. Thank you for the invitation. I'm happy to be here. All right We are meeting again Yes Industry small it is I wonder the film industry and the TV industry are they closer Do you do you feel like it's close like people walk in broadcast TV and the film acting as well? No, I I think That they since there are two different mediums. I Rarely meet the film guys, but only on TV TV Right productions like TV TV like what we're doing right now Yeah, like what we do right now in front of the screen or behind the behind the screen So we have presenters who are actually actors Have I met any Nick nearly zone really? Yeah, but he's already a presenter. Yeah, so we haven't met on radio So that's an invitation Nick Yeah, so You know our industry have has a lot of versatile people All right can do radio can do TV So if it's really not a surprise if I meet people who are Film and television bills have to be paid now away through absolutely away from that If you're caught up in a situation or you've been put on a platform and you're told hey describe yourself We are always seeing you Netflix series and now tell us please who you are if you were to actually tell a short story Of who you are how would you not write that short story?   Did you like get inspiration from your dad your family?  Yeah, so big and you got it all going for you Well long story short in terms of training Huge percentage of it like 80% of it is self-taught because we all know by then by the time I was getting into the professional, you know practice of acting I Would say I couldn't afford some of these you know film schools and I don't think they were even existent in there You know 2007's 2008 So I couldn't afford them and the only thing I could afford was bundles, you know I do know some of these resources that you could get that are printed on books and Some of them are circulating them. So, you know, I'd read about the craft out, you know in these Materials so it's self-taught and then thanks to YouTube University of YouTube That's where I pretty much, you know learned my craft, you know Masterclasses by you know Michael Cain and then, you know all these great coaches acting coaches. I Watched them and you know read about them. I then Crossing I really high school and I worked so hard to it and prayed a lot and you know brought my material together and applied for other masterclasses like Bali Nali, right Bali Nali, which happens in Berlin, right and First attempt I got it Faster term first attempt. I got it. Yeah, that was after Nairobi half-life. So you're at least now Yeah, although you also featured in Nairobi half-life. I think that's what exactly put you on the map and your character was really Conspicuous and we just took a ball of that a little bit before we get to the inspiration behind so Mosey is just like any other young person in in this country was very ambitious and artist He if he wants to be a rapper then that's what he thinks is going to you know get him out to the world That's the the thing is going to use to express himself So he's pretty much looking at you know being a musician, but in between Nairobi happens And you know he has to you know make this quick money and he has these friends around him and boom He he has this group that you know they make quick money by you know getting Carspear parts and selling them to you know wire And you make your money you go about your life, but you know Sick was amazing By any it happened and funny thing that on that film debut I was in high school Look at me now Look at 2012. Yes. I was in high school. I could have been anyways I was in high school long story short. Yeah, but I'm glad that I'm interviewing the person I watched I was in high school Now let's get to inspiration The industry can be really mucky. It's a turbulent field. It's competitive as well You have met people on the international platforms as well that you have managed to work with when that is happening What is going on in your mind and in your life? Are you like God? This is what I wanted I mean, would you say it's because of hard work? Yeah, I mean, it's always about hard work and you know prayers and Not just my prayers, but you know prayers of people who love me. That's Parents, you know grandparents siblings And most of it is pretty much just you know you have you having to do the work. All right. There's no Way around it. You have to do the work and you pretty much have to be very very strategic about how you're doing your Your work which is look can be loosely translated to you know working smart but but I Wish I wish I met some of the people I met later on in their practice Okay, because now I would have known how to you know where to work Where and how to you know apply some skills so that you know it propels you further But again, I appreciate the fact that I took the long route and it is day by day. It's you know Giving me good harvest like the question you've just asked me.  That's the feeling You know it was worth it that I stuck to this craft. I stuck to whatever I believed in such that when I get When I get a booking for a film internationally, I'm like cheese. This is the exact same dream I I heard that I want to be one one Actually the best great actors that these land has ever produced or even one of them And I have to work towards that and that's that has been my goal every time So I keep on when I check these you know these boxes. It's always like my goodness I was right about my dream. So I'm on the right trajectory. So yeah I'm always I'm always just being surprised and and happy and Get a lot of fulfillment when I when you know, I I scored these these goals Yeah, pretty much. So it and the inspiration comes from a very very Naive yet rich Dream, you know, because who knows man. I mean I grew up in Seattle a village Yeah Village called called bugger, right? Very far away from here and and Nairobi first of all was like is like a dream There's a dream, you know for you to even go to Nairobi leave alone think about what you're going to do in Nairobi That's like the Hollywood. Yeah, holy grail of success. Exactly. So if you get Nairobi, that's a tick for you And then you get to do something in Nairobi. Oh my goodness. That's another achievement Oh, so now I've ticked now coming to Nairobi having to do something in Nairobi. What's next? Right? Oh, I have to be the next The big thing in the craft. So now, how do I get them? My goodness? It's a lot of work. When do I start start now? Exactly. Yeah, so so all the way from it's not even he didn't even start in 2007 it started all the way before even in his Joint high school. You said your childhood. Yes. So this is like a vision that was nurtured I'd say yes young Paul. Yes, I grew up. I grew up with it because from primary school I was just you know dancing through these traditional dances, right? There was no acting in my primary school then when I went to high school That's when I met acting professionally for the first time and now I could now articulate what I really want to do right is performing and acting and and and Leaving high school. I knew where I was going which was in Nairobi and the group I was going to join I knew that I'm once I arrived in Nairobi. I'm going to join Galaxy players, which is a church-based acting group in Jericho, St. Phillips Jericho church, right went there and I was welcomed by The then chairman Antoni dongle. He's actually one of the actors on Nairobi half-life. He played waf So, yeah, he welcomed me and he was like come come perform, you know, hone your skills Let's do great things and here we are.  It's not There's a lot of people might take even more than the years you took to actually become a person like you Yeah, it's in that field now. Let me just read a little bit of your description You are an award-winning actor a two-time nominated at the International Kalashia Film and TV Awards and recently selected as a genre for the International Emmy Awards 2022 this year and behind the scenes you told me that you'd be traveling to states for you Right. Yes. Talk about that and how how much it means to you now in your journey as well Yeah, well, it's an it's an honor a huge one to be selected to be 2022 is international Emmy Awards juror The process the person who actually contacted me I had to ask him what how did he how did how did he find me and he from Hollywood Contacted you from hall. Yeah, he nailed easy easy by then. He was in LA in Los Angeles. He's Los Angeles. Yes Yeah, that's where their offices are based. He's from the the host. It's a media house called the African Channel I don't know. Right. Definitely. I've seen it. Yes, so the African Channel one of them being the host They pretty much have to gather all the all the jurors from Africa Europe on the globe. Yes, South Africa. Yeah, so so he pretty much googled All right. Yeah. Yes, top of the top African actors. Yes And he followed that and the universe Yes, so he followed that part and that's how he communicated With me via LinkedIn actually via LinkedIn. Yes, right so So it and I pretty much asked to wait is this is this real and he was like, yeah, he's real So from then we made the communications and even now to start to talk about how Traveling to the to South Africa where the jury duty was happening, right? And I got all the logistics It's a self-sponsored trip. So I I got friends who Yeah, who can just you know, help me take care of you know, some of these logistics even some family members and yeah I traveled I traveled and we did the jury duties and I met all these executives and I was the only actor actually from Kenya No, I was the only actor among the Jurors just jurors. Yes, I was the I was the only actors it was your executives and you know media house owners and we even are some of the People who run multi-choice Disney plus Amazon Prime what class people right? Yeah, these are people are coming from the States You know right for them to be jurors for semi-finals for best actor So it was all jurors for it was jurors from all over the world Okay, so yeah, so I traveled and immediately the senior director for partnership and communication for you know the Academy of Television arts and sciences which is the Emmys. Yeah, he was she was like listen We need you we you must come to the States, you know for the girl and the first of all as a juror and I was like Yeah, when is it happening? It's in November 18th to 21st. Yeah, the girl is on the 21st the first of all 18 18th to 20th. Yeah, and of course a couple of lunches and dinners all my goodness so so so she invited the Academy invited me and I mean in the process of you know, actually just you know reaching out to friends and you know partnerships to pretty much take care of these These these trip because again, it is a self-centered trip But you need money. Yes. It's the Emmys who can miss the aim is just because you You're broke or you don't have money for real. Yeah, so I'm all out. I'm checking I'm really checking people and you know reaching out to you Are you like the first Kenyan to be nominated? Yeah for that first. Yeah, I'm fast Is South African. No, I'm as an actor. Yes To be a juror. Yes, I know you're any other faster. Yes, but there's so many other Kenyans who've featured on Emmys I was nominee nominees. Let's say somebody like a Lupita Sarasana's feature You want to also with her in crime and justice? No, no Sarasana. No, it is a lot in my door Okay, with the feature if I'm not wrong. There's Lupita with another with another of her productions and then My goodness why am I forgetting about them?

Oh Yeah, and and and how how how has that how how has that Reception of in the recognition been for you. How do you feel like, you know, you are on the map as well Yeah, and you're also the first actor to be, you know being the jury as well. Yeah, I mean Again, it's a mentally as well. Are you excited? I'm very very excited and What really this means to me and and the purpose of of why I do this Again, it's a it's a goal achieved because you know You can imagine me doing this yet. I'm based in Kenya, right? You know, like it's it's one of those extraordinary things that I'm like Yeah, I've really I've really shown to people who are practicing just like me that listen This thing is possible and you can be selected from any anywhere in the world So long as so long as you are doing you're doing it right and you're doing the right thing and you know And you always connecting to them and above you it's Possibility, you know showing showing that possibility has been something that I I hold so dear So even when I get a little some mindset it is it is a very intentional Thing you cannot guess it. It's a very intentional thing that you have to you have to be doing when you're applying for things You know why you you have to get this thing because you know, it's a light you're shining It's a path you're leaving those who are coming behind you, you know So so so for me to for me to have been chosen by God himself To you know, just show this path and walk it slowly but very accurately and I try to every time post Most of these things on my social media so that when you scroll down to the first photo You can see how it starts or how it started John. It is a journey and you can see the trajectory and You can see my story and that's when when you when we meet and you ask me questions Right, I pretty much.  Yeah, so so this proof Yes, it is so so so so I really I really encourage so many people who look at my story, too Please when you see my story on social media can just swipe up to the first ever for store Yeah, or photo for of me You know posting and and and get to see who that person it was and just scroll through Poly Poly and try and you know, try and follow the journey. Yeah, it's not magic. It's all there. It's all there Years of you know struggle Trying to connect trying to know people because this is a country of you You need to know someone networking and how it did it work? Did it fail? Those are the questions now I can answer and then and I pretty much I am happy to say that I have answers for all these questions amazing. Yeah, that that this path is so Possible and it is so clear for each and every one of us all it needs its time patience persistence in prayers For peace yeah before before we get to the top films that you have featured in I'll just like you maybe to tell us about the money particles You know a lot of people watching market home that they like hey I want to be an actor Can I just go to K&T right here audition and maybe they'll cast me in the next you know big series Yes, the next big film when it comes to the money everybody is concerned and it's a constant question that I ask my guests on This show is it paying because that's literally the main business when it comes to even talent as well You you don't you don't just want to act you don't want just to be a presenter You want to make money off of it so a lot of pilots would be like hey So I've been giving you fair to go for these auditions where is the money they've paid you yeah And for somebody watching back at home, would you convince them that this thing pays in as much as you know Sometimes it's a little bit convoluted. Yeah, but it has rewards. It does it does have rewards and Before I even explain anything monetary, I just want to advise each and everyone who's out there it is a long game It's a long amp. It is a long game And we are we are very fortunate enough that we can still practice even at 80 years old right and still on Right you get so it's not it's not You're waiting when you're learning. There's a certain Destination where you're going and you'll be checking in, you know, you'll be catching any huge checks It's a long game and and we know very, you know senior people were actually earning huge bucks out of Practicing this craft now the question comes the question that can be posed to the Economically is how do I get there? How do I get to be this this this artist who? Who cashes in you know huge bucks You have to work towards it. You have to have the skills the discipline the The dream the dedication there, you know the patience right the persistence of always being disappointed and be like, you know what Somebody will be disappointed once My goodness even before you get on any platform There's always the nose that comes with that and so many guests that have been on this show Most of them have been headliners and one thing that has been outstanding even from yourself that I'm getting is at some point You're told no Bro and as much as you you feel like you're the star, but you're told no Yeah, I have to take the L and try again next time in the name of a leader, you know Yeah, I've been I've been I've been told no even this year Okay, bro like two months ago or two weeks ago. Why you auditioning? Yeah, I still go for auditions All right If I'm fortunate and fortunate enough for somebody to reach out to me and tell me a listen Paul We need you in for addition or send us a tape. I do send a tape And I'm told no and I'm like well, it's fine. I'm used to this right when I was big When I when I came to Nairobi, I remember for three good years auditioning audition of rejection in one group One theater group. I wanted to join Heartstrings Kenya But then it was like Yeah, exactly of theater work, right and and and that was like the whole That was like the Hollywood of theaters of theater and yeah, and I have to be here because look on this stage You have done Dumbuki Churchill, right?

So yeah for three years, and it does break you or it encouraged you goodness. Yes at some point It did but it I didn't give up, you know, and I was never even told yes either way I had to I had to force myself in you know, so one day they were performing a show and Within that show, I just went backstage and told the actors listen. I want to create Mini-scene within your scene. I want to enter as a Different car. Yeah, that's an extra. I just want to pass and And you people you can react how you wish and then let's see how it works So now that's after now three years of auditions and I'm now At least I had the opportunity to become a door person, you know welcoming people But I was like I need to be there. So when I went entered that stage on that particular day They the reaction was amazing. The audience loved it and the director was like, I never knew that was that was Something that was missing in that scene. Keep it. And that's how I entered house. Yes That's how I entered heartstrings and up until date. I'm still a member of heartstrings Thanks to excuse me. Thanks to Victor bear and Sammy Mwangi I am who I am because they accepted that this this kid has something and they grew me. They they grew me Do you meant it? Yes. Yes, and that's and here you are here.  What would you say? This was my breaking point and here as well as like God if this is not gonna work Then I'm done or if it has to work, then I'm ready to put my life on the line as well. Well first of all, I grew up old-school. I grew I grew up in CIA so Hardcore life I don't about hardcore life right and giving up giving up was never an option an option but You can imagine that young person Arriving at you know what maybe it's maybe I'm done Because I really I I got you hit that rock.
