I am Dr. Tarun Jaloka, I am a consultant in the Head of Department of Nephrology, Manipala Hospital. Today I will talk about kidney stones. You know kidney stones are quite common, about 10% of adults suffer from kidney stones. And life time risk in meals is about 20% and in fitness is 9%. So it makes sense to talk about kidney stones. And I will tell you about 5 step management of kidney stones in any adult. Step 1 is diagnosis. So first you have to confirm if you really have kidney stones. And that depends upon clinical history, where patient presents with flight pain. Maybe they may have blood in your head, some increased frequency. These are classical symptoms of kidney stones pain. And we do resort to imaging, for example sonography or CT scan depending upon requirement. And that's how we confirm diagnosis of kidney stones. The second step of management is initial treatment. So when these patients come to emergency or to OPD, they are in extreme pain. So what we do is we give pain medicines first. And we hydrate them as well. Because many times this hydration itself can flush down the kidney stones down the track outside. The third step in kidney stone management is subsequent management. So after the initial management, we advise the patient to take plenty of water either orally. Or sometimes we give intravenous fluids as well. And pain medicines as per their requirement. Apart from this, we give some medicines which facilitate the stone passage. And one of the example which is well known is alpha receptor blocker, CO2C. That helps in expulsion of stones. Let me remind you here that most of these stones do not require surgical intervention. Only 10 to 20% of stones actually require surgical intervention. And rest all can be managed by medical management. And the fourth step in my management is surgical intervention. So when do these patients require surgeries? One, in the conservative treatment phase, even after 3 or 4 weeks of trial. Number two, if there are bilateral obstruction or there is co-existing infection. Or if there is acute kidney injury. So in any of these scenarios, it's better to go for an intervention. And also I will remind you that in 99% of cases there are no cuts which are required. Most of these stones can be intervened into endoscopy day. So in such cases, we send it to a gyrologist who intervenes and takes out the stone. This was the fourth step. Up to here, people know everything. But my final stage is to prevent recurrence. You know 50% of these patients may have recurrence of stones. And that is where we come into picture how to prevent recurrence of these stones. And we have two or three different steps how to prevent it. Number one is get a metabolic profile there. Which in my experience 99% of people do not do it. But it is essential part of management of kidney stones. If you do a metabolic profile, 3 out of 4 patients will identify what is the metabolic abnormality. Which actually is leading to stone formation and recurrence of stone. And by identifying that, we can take care of treat those metabolic abnormality. And hence prevent the recurrence of these stones. For example, if somebody is high-obscleting brain. We can advise certain steps by which this can be taken care of. If there is high uric acid in urine. If there is high calcium in urine. If somebody has got high PTH. All these are metabolic abnormalities. Which can be very well treated. And hence we can prevent the recurrence of these stones. Apart from this metabolic workup and this specific management. Very important part of management of kidney stones. Or prevention of recurrence of kidney stones is dietary management. Now dietary management is not very difficult. So in general what I advise to my patients is take plenty of water. Take fruits which contains potassium and phytates. So these are stone inhibitors. They inhibit the formation of stones. Avoid animal proteins. And also avoid excess of salt. So in general anyone can follow this. And that is how we can prevent recurrence of stone formation. Apart from this, as per the metabolic profile. If somebody has high obstetrics. You can advise diet according to that. So these 5 steps can take care of most of my patients. Regarding acute pain during stone. And subsequent management of stone. As well as recurrence of stone. So guys I think this would be helpful for you. In management of kidney stones. If you have any other questions. You can drop it into our OPD. And we will discuss this in the community. Thank you so much.


Welcome to the session of overview of civil service notification 2022, we have a good news for you this year vacancy has been increased. This session will be useful for the candidates who are going to appear for civil service examination 2022 and this session will be also helpful for the parents whose kids aspire to become a civil servant and serve the country and for the common audience who want to know the process through which every civil service aspirant has to go through before entering the service. You can also watch this video, let's go into the session. Hello aspirants a very good morning to you all and the good news is that the UPSC notification for civil service examination 2022 has been released. The date of the civil service preliminary examination is 5th of June 2022. You can apply from today and the last date for the receipt of application is 22 February 2022. You have 20 days time from now on so kindly don't wait for the last day or last week. Apply as soon as possible by using the link that is given in the description. Now let us look at some of the details in the notification. See the vacancy for this year is 861. This graph shows the general trend in the vacancy in UPSC civil service examination over the years. See this year vacancy is nearly 150 more when compared to last year. So this is a nice opportunity please work hard and don't waste time. So it's high time that you accelerate the civil service preparation at least from now. See these are the centers for preliminary and main examination kindly go through it. Now we will see the eligibility conditions. See for IAS, IFS and IPS the candidate must be a citizen of India and for all other services a candidate can be a citizen of India or a subject of Nepal or a subject of Bhutan or a Tibetan refugee who came over to India before 1st of January 1962. Now with regards to the age limits see a candidate must have attained the age of 21 years and must not have attained the age of 32 years as of 1st of August 2022. See UPSC has even given the inclusive dates that is the candidate must have been born not earlier than 2nd of August 1990 and not later than 1st of August 2001. See this is for general category candidates. So we have age relaxations too. See the upper age limit that is 32 years will be relaxable up to a maximum of 3 years in case of candidates belonging to OBC and the upper age limit will be relaxable up to a maximum of 5 years for the candidate belonging to Scheduled caste or Scheduled tribe. The upper age limit will be also relaxable up to a maximum of 3 years in case of different services personal who are disabled in operations during hostilities and it is up to a maximum of 5 years in case of ex-servicemen including commissioned officers and emergency commissioned officers or short service commissioned officers and they should have rendered at least 5 years military service as on 1st of August 2022. See the upper age limit will be also relaxable up to a maximum of 10 years in case of candidates belonging to PWPD that is persons with Benchmark Disabilities categories. Kindly note that you should enter the date of birth as it is entered in the Metriclation or SSLC or HSC certificate. Now we will look at the basic minimum educational qualification required to appear for the examination. The notification states that the minimum qualification for the UPSC examination is a graduation degree. See the candidate is required to have a degree from a government recognized universities. The universities should have been incorporated by an act of the state or central legislature in India. The candidate can also hold an equivalent qualification or a degree of any educational institutions established by an act of parliament or declared to be deemed as university under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. See one of the common doubts among the candidates is whether a distance education degree is valid for the UPSC exam actually it is valid. See the notification states that the minimum qualification for the UPSC exam is just a graduation degree from a government recognized university. The degree may be from any discipline like arts, science, engineering etc. So a degree from a distance education university or any open university is also valid and acceptable for appearing for UPSC examination. Another common doubt is whether young aspirants who are studying in their final year and their final degree is yet to be given. Whether they can apply for the preliminary exam? See actually people in the final year of the degree examination can appear for the preliminary examination provided that they are born before 1st of August 2001 that is you must have completed at least 21 years of age okay but you must ensure that if you clear the preliminary examination and appear for means you will be required to produce proof of passing the requisite qualifying examination that is your degree certificate along with your DAF that is detailed application form 1 with which you have to apply for the main examination. See if you don't produce your degree certificate during the DAF one for the main examination you will not be admitted to the main examination. Note here that such proof of passing the requisite qualifying examination that is your degree certificate should be dated earlier than the closing date of DAF one of main examination. Now this is for aspirants who are in the final year of MBBS see you can also appear for preliminary examination without having your degree certificate but before appearing for main examination you must ensure that you have completed your degree but here also it is not necessary that you should have completed your mandatory internship. So before filling out your main DAF form you should submit a copy of certificate from a concerned authority of the university that you have passed the requisite final professional examination along with your application. See you must ensure that once you clear means before appearing for your interview process you must have the original degree certificate including completion of internship for the award of degree. So to simply put only before appearing for the interview process you must have your degree certificate including completion of mandatory internship. Now we will look at the number of attempts available to the candidates. See every candidate appearing at the examination will be permitted 6 attempts at the civil service examination. However relaxation in the number of attempts will be available to the candidates belonging to SC, ST, OBC and PWBD category. So the number of attempts available to the candidate belonging to OBC is 9 attempts and for candidates belonging to SC or ST the attempt is unlimited subject to the age limit. For PWBD it is 9 attempts for general EWS or OBC and unlimited for PWBD candidates belonging to SC or ST. See here is an important note an attempt at the preliminary examination shall be deemed to be an attempt at the civil service examination. So that means you have to appear for at least one paper in the preliminary examination to be counted as an attempt. If you are just applying but not appearing in any of the paper it will not be counted as an attempt. Now for candidates who have already appeared and cleared the civil service examination only those candidates who are appointed to the IAS or IFS and continues to be a member of that service will not be eligible to appear at the examination that is civil service examination 2022. A candidate who is appointed to IPS and continues to be the member of that service cannot again opt for IPS on the basis of civil service examination 2022 results. And regarding the fees candidates are required to pay fee of rupees 100 and it is exempted for female SC, ST and persons with Benchmark disability candidates. See while you are applying you will be required to indicate information such as details of centers for civil services main examination and Indian Forest Service main examination and optional subject to be selected for the examination. See you should also indicate your medium of examination for main exams. Kindly note that no request for changes in these details once online application is submitted will be entertained by the commission. So stay cautious while you choose your center medium of examination and optional because once you choose it you will not be able to change it in the future. There is also a provision to withdraw your application see the online application can be withdrawn from 1st of March 2022 to 7th of March 2022 till 6pm after which the link will be disabled. Now finally we will see the plan of the examination. The civil service examination comprises of two successive stages. First stage is civil service preliminary examination which is of objective type. So you have to mark the answers in the OMR sheet. Based on the results of the preliminary examination you will be selected for the main examination. Here the preliminary examination will comprise of two compulsory papers of 200 marks each. Both the question papers will be of objective type that is MCQs and each will be of 2 hours duration. The GS paper 2 of preliminary examination that is your CSAT paper will be of qualifying nature with minimum qualifying marks fixed at 33 percentage that is you should get 66.66 marks out of 200 marks that is you should get at least 27 net questions correct. And in the preliminary stage of the examination there will be a negative marking for incorrect answers which is 1 3rd of the mark assigned to a particular question and preliminary examination each question carries 2 marks so the negative marking will be of 0.66 marks and if a question is left blank that is no answer is given by the candidate there will be no penalty for that question and regarding the language of the question papers it will be set in both English and Hindi. Now coming to the second stage it is civil service main examination it consists of both written and interview or personality test. The written examination will consist of 9 papers of descriptive type note that paper A and paper B will be of qualifying nature and will not be counted for final merit and the candidates who obtain a minimum qualifying marks in the main examination as fixed by the commission will be called for the personality test. The number of candidates to be summoned will be about twice the number of vacancies to be filled. The interview test carry 275 marks and there is no minimum qualifying marks in the personality test. So marks thus obtained by the candidates in the civil service main examination that is written part as well as your interview part would determine your final ranking. The written examination will consist of the following papers see there are two qualifying papers in the main examination which will not be counted for merit that is paper A and paper B. See here paper A consists of 300 marks here one of the Indian languages to be selected by the candidate. The Indian languages here is the languages listed in the 8th schedule of the constitution and paper B it is English paper it also consists of 300 marks and these are the papers which will be counted for merit that is paper 1 which is your essay paper it consists of 250 marks and paper 2 it is your general studies paper 1 consists of 250 marks it covers Indian heritage and culture history and geography of the world and society and there is paper 3 which is your general studies 2 it covers governance constitution polity social justice and international relations and then the paper 4 which is your GS 3 it covers technology economic development biodiversity environment security and disaster management and then there is paper 5 which is your GS 4 it covers ethics integrity and aptitude and paper 6 and paper 7 it consists of your optional subjects there are two papers in optional subject so totally it has 500 marks that is 250 marks for each paper. So that final sub total will be 1750 marks for the main examination and 275 marks for the personality test so the grand total comes to 2025 marks. See the evaluation of the papers namely essay general studies and optional subject would be done simultaneously along with your qualifying papers that is paper A and paper B but note that you should get at least 25 percentage in English and Indian language paper that is you should get at least 75 marks out of 300 marks in paper A and paper B otherwise your essay general studies and optional papers will not be taken into cognitions and here also the paper A on Indian language will not be compulsory for the candidates hailing from the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim.

New York City, it's your mayor, Eric Adams. Welcome to the Gist of Dundcast. Let's get to it. I'm here with who I consider not to only be a great entrepreneur, but really just a great citizen and a great humanitarian. My good friend, Haki Octanez. We spend the nights together on Wednesday nights, not on a date, but we go out and feed New Yorkers. Every Wednesday night, we are at the people's connecting New York food distribution to those who are down on their luck. Not only those who are living in homeless shelters, the organization with the acronym PCNY, just a team of everyday New Yorkers come together and really give their support to their fellow brothers and sisters. And it's part of my overall theme of one hour a week. If we could just dedicate one hour a week, we could do so much, Haki, and you know, you do more than one hour, but I believe it's almost contagious that once you start, you never get enough. And I want you to go and share with your experiences. And when I first met you and hearing your story, it just was so inspirational. And so why don't you take us back? How did you start? You're from the pizza guy, I like to call you, with your champion pizza with several locations, but take us back and let the listeners know the origin of your story. Thank you for having me. And I was saying it's an honor to see you and see you, see you. I don't know if you remember, I met you like a year and a half ago and you told me a little bit about my story and I told you a little bit, I said, I'm not just making pizza, we do a lot of other things about specially giving back.  Do you remember that? Yes, I do. At Alibaba. Before you become a year. Alibaba. Yeah, I have the video by the way. We took a picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was teenage, I went to Canada and my brother, he had a pizza shop. I worked with him for a couple of years and I couldn't get my green card and I decided to move to New York. Friend of mine, he live over here and he promised me if I come over here, he will help me find my job and find the place that I can stay. So when I came over here, I'm gonna go fast forward. He make me wait two and a half days at Port Authority bus station.  I find like cheap motel. I stay over there about like a week. I have $240 in my pocket. My money finish and I don't know what to do. I cannot go back in Canada and I don't wanna go to Turkey. When you came to the city, you slept your first few days at the Port Authority? Two and a half days. Two and a half days at the Port Authority. Wow. And I find a cheap motel. I stay over there for like maybe like a week. So then when my money finish, I have like small luggage and I just walk on New York City street, okay, just nighttime sleep on street and daytime and you just go, you know, ask the people a couple in a change. You could not speak English at the time? Not even one word. I speak French and Turkish and Turkish. Polyphonic. And so, you know, like I stay about like maybe about two week on the street as a homeless and I find Bowrie Mission as a homeless shelter. I heard that. How did you find that homeless shelter? Yeah, I met one guy from Senegal. He's named Ronnie. He's big French and he was homeless as well and train station and we talk. He said, there's a place.  And that was a Bowrie Mission. Bowrie Mission. Yeah, I stay over there for 96 days. Yeah, and well, I mean, that's what I'm, that's what I'm so, you know, like, I'm so thankful because of Bowrie Mission. Right. And from there, it was not easy. But tell me about that thankfulness. It wasn't a five star hotel. It was a homeless shelter. Why were you thankful? Why didn't you feel as though, hey, I deserve more. Why do I have to stay here in this shelter? I mean, we always have to be thankful what we have. It's not about like what we need. It's about what we have. And even though like so many or a million people, they don't have a food and to eat. Like so many parents, they cannot afford the food, bring the home for their kids. And you know, like that moment when I have it, like the Bowrie Mission, at least I have to eat the place I was staying sleep and I could take a warm shower. But before that, I don't have those opportunities. I don't have the, you know, option. And the Bowrie Mission is an amazing organization. For many years, they've been doing this. I believe in the man's low hierarchy of needs, food, shelter, clothing that allows us to get to the place of self-actualization. But there's a journey between that and those 96 days, what did you observe during those 96 days? I was, you know, when I was staying there, I was collecting the cans, you know, the Pepsi cans, like those cans. And there was a Chinese guy, he come over to the van on Prince Street and Bowrie and I smoked a lot of cigarette.  But we all go through a lot of struggle.   And we only help, you know, we all need sometimes someone to help you. With anything, with any advice, it could be just, you know, like advice, not just financially, with anything that people, they can help. And the moment, you know, like when I was over there, a lot of people, so many people, they couldn't give up, but I couldn't give up. Wow. Just go forward, forward, forward. And when I come over here, I want to leave my American dream. I come over here with big hope. From outside, when we look in this country, it's a big hope. Hope of, you know, like, it's a hope of with everything. You know, like, I think I saw one of your interview, you said like, there's only one dream they call American dream. No, it's a very true and it's very powerful, you know, like, and that dream, you know, like, we all can achieve that dream. If we work so hard, we don't give up. And you know what? Before everything, we have to be kind, because kind is a key for success. Want to be kind, don't just give to get, give inspire other people to give. We'll say, we'll say. When we do that, when we do this, and that's everything is possible. We'll say. And that was me, you know, like Bowery mentioned that teach me those. We'll say, you know, for those who probably are listening inside, I just want to know with, with Haki acting as they from Champion Pizza. And we're talking about his beginning days, spending 96 days in a homeless shelter, his days of sleeping in the Port Authority bus terminals of when he came from New York to Canada. And so how do we transition into those tough days of looking at the McDonald dollar menu and getting that hamburger to the point that you saw there was some possibility? Who was your first real job? I work in a pizza shop. I find it, yeah, job in Hoboken. So for me to first, I take train from Lowery site to go in Hoboken. It take me maybe like eight hours or 10 hours. I was lost. I don't know the direction, take the train. And I went over there, the boss, he gave me the job. And he's so funny, you know, like he's, right now he's my best friend. Yeah, so he gave me the bread, he dough and I stretch it and put an oven. I mess it up. I was so nervous because I say, if I make mistake, he's not going to give me job. And I said, could you give me another chance? He said, yes, go ahead. I open another dough and I put an oven and mess it up that piece as well.  He is, you know, now we're good. Like F4, he said, take it off. And he gave me job as a dishwasher. I work over there for about like, I was like four months as a dishwasher. But the first paycheck he gave me, and one bathroom because I'm like, when I get my first paycheck, you know, like I couldn't come back in Hoboken, from Hoboken to Lowery Mission. I was sleeping bench right across street. Because I don't know how to, I thought Hoboken is so far from New York. And I couldn't be able to come here. I was sleeping bench. And the first paycheck he gave me, I went to bathroom and I cried a lot. And manager, he heard me. He knocked the door and I opened door. He told me, why are you crying? Is it so little money? I know, I know it's not too much money. He told me, I said, no, no, this is a lot of money. $300. It was a lot of money for me. Today for me that $300 is like $30,000. Because there was first paycheck, it changed my life. It changed everything. And that's what I said. We have to be thankful. How did you get to Hoboken? Why did you decide Hoboken? We have a lot of pizza shops in New York.  You know, I'm one, I went almost maybe like 50 pizza shop. I was looking for the job and no one, you know, like gave me a job at that time. I know like first because the language and second thing, because no, like it's just, I couldn't, you know. Did you, at that time, did you started to pick up different words in English where you able to sort of begin the process of communicating? I didn't go to school. I just talked to people. Right. And I love reading books. And you know, I read a book, a newspaper, and that's what I keep the word, you know. I'm not speaking English by the way. So you spent a few months in Hoboken and how did you find your way back to New York City? I work over there. I met one guy. He was my manager. We become best friend. And our dream, we wanna open our own pizza shop. Yeah. So, you know, I don't wanna miss that part, you know. So the owner, I thought he's gonna fire me. When he give me $300, the manager go talk to owner. I thought he will fire me if he know that I'm homeless.   It was, I cannot forget that moment. So me, my best, we become best friend, the manager at a pizza shop. We save money for four years and we wanna open pizza shop. And two days before we gonna sign a contract that the guy I call him like, you know, like the best friend and my, I would call like hero that moment. He took every hour safe run away. Wow, wow.  And- You ever see him again? I never see him again. I know like that moment I was, you know, I was a prayer for God, you know, like God punishing but today I don't wanna say it. It's okay, it's okay. You cannot pray for God to punish others. Right. Cause we all make mistake. Right, right. We all go through a lot. And we're not quite sure what he was going through to make him so desperate to take the savings, you know? You know, no, so, so, so true. Sometimes, sometimes you will see someone carry out an action that is really hurtful to you.  A normal person that has a lot of compassion and care can be at the end of their rope. And they will do things that is out of their character. And, you know, all you could hope is that whatever they needed the money for, that it was able to bring them back into their character. You know? And how did you get back to New York? I find pizza place, that pizza shop, they closed down. And I find a pizza job at the time square. You just knew pizza was your destiny, huh? I've been making pizza home my life, by the way. Age 13 from Canada. Okay, okay. And back home, I don't know if you heard it, it's called lahmacun. It's Turkish pizza. Okay. It's a very thin crust. I found that job and I saved money again for another five years. I worked like seven days, 18 hours. I don't know about sleep, I don't know about tired. I just want to save that money and, you know, like open my first pizza shop. Okay. And, you know, like I opened my first pizza shop in Lauri site. The place I was staying, Bowery Mission, it's just like four blocks away from there. So I always say, you know, things happen for reasons. That's exactly what happened. And just like a couple blocks away.  Turkish guy is going to make a pizza.  Right, right.  I was- After how many months? Oh, three months. Okay. And you were not getting a business there? Well, I was, you know, like the first month, I was making money, but the second month, the business, it goes slow. Third month, it was very slow. The fourth month, the latter time, if you don't pay the rent, I'm going to kick you out. But I own the pizzeria owners, 40,000 as well. So I couldn't pay him as well.  If you don't pay me, I will put you over. But he's a great guy right now. We always talk that he helped me a lot.  I'm a really good pizza. I know because it's all my life. I don't know nothing about running business. To run a business is not easy the moment, if you don't know. And it was so hard. I couldn't be able to pay my rent. So, first thing, I give up my apartment. I pay $12,000. I give up my apartment. I sleep under my pizzeria, the pizza oven. I will sleep over there, seriously. Right. And we were like four guys. I have to let two guys go, just me and my, the kitchen guy, we work. The guy, he was going home. So, you know, like, I have to make a dose of everything until he come. I used to go to a gym, take a shower with his member car, membership car. Yeah, because I couldn't take a shower. Right. I have to go take a shower someone to go to a gym. Right. And, you know, like, what, what saved me and survived me at that store, changed everything. It was a pizza championship. Okay. 2010. So, I compete from 2005 to 2010. I was, you know, not able to win. And first time I get, it was like 93 people. I get 87 place. I thought it was a pizza master, but that was like, oh my God, people like, there was Philippine door, like breaking dance, like playing football. I said, how do they make it? Right. Yeah. I like to practice.  And I don't like to give up. I just do practice for five years. Right. And 2010, I become world pizza champion. Wow. Yeah. So, the first year was 2001. 2005. Was the first time? The first year, yes. The first year. And 2010, I won the championship. So, you came back in five years. In five years, yeah. Wow. Yeah. What was the business that's far? Was business picking up around the time when you were behind in your rent? You were about to be thrown in the oven, you know? So, how was business? Was business starting to pick up?  So, the TV, they come interview me. And I think it was Dali knows they make like article. And Turkish guy, he won the championship.  Yes. And the PMQ magazine, the semi magazine, they put me in full cover of the magazine. So, they sent me about, like, 50 copy. And those copy, like, the magazine, I put it on top of table. And the kids, they love it. So, the kids, they take it home. And, you know, like, I thought the kids, they were still in. And the guy in my kitchen guy said, no, no, they love it. So, I put it back again. The kids, they take it again. So, I finished those 50 magazine. And the little girls came to me. She asked me, you know, like, could you give me an autograph? I said, what, an autograph? Come on. I'm a pizza guy.  So, I don't, I just said, thank you very much. I don't know what else to say. I give her, and there's another boys, they came with parents. They take a selfie with me. So, really, wow. So, this magazine worked. So, you became an instant celebrity? On the lower side. Yeah.  And he sent me, like, two case of the magazine. Okay. So, I go to front school. I was given the people. And stay menu. I was given my magazine to kids. And from there on, it just, you know, I become so blessed. I open second, fourth, fifth. You know, like, I open, like, 16 restaurants until 2020. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. How many, now how many pizzerias do you have open now? Right now, Champion Pizza, I have eight locations. Mm-hmm. And I have, like, four other small businesses, all together, like, 12. And how, how did you overcome, or what were the obstacles with the English barrier as you tried to communicate and run your business?  I don't know nothing about it. And the language, I think, was the biggest issue for me, for beginning. But, you know, like, like I say, you know, like, to not run a business, to run a business, it was okay. Okay. It was okay. Okay. What do you believe was the tipping point where people started to come in and say, hey, the Turkish guy can make a good pizza? Well, I mean, you should not listen to anyone. You have to believe yourself. Mm-hmm. If you believe yourself, and if you really believe that you do, like, 100%, then people's gonna believe you, and people's gonna love what you do. And so when did that happen for you? Because you said the first? One year later. Okay. So you held on? You held on during that period of time until one year later? Yeah. And people started coming into the shop? Exactly. Because of the first pizza shop, you know, like when I opened, I was like, all my left over the food, because I was not busy, and I was taking the boxes, I was going train station and just give to people. I don't believe they put food waste. I always go give to people. I don't know what the boundary mentioned. It was like four blocks away from me. I didn't even know that. Okay. Okay. But they say, you know, like, I do really good things. I'm a good person, good human.   So you were very active at the time? Active given back. Okay. Yeah. So important. Now, where did the name champion come from? Like, I would have thought, you know, from Turkey, it would have been Istanbul, or Cappadocia, or Italia pizza. Like, where did champion come from? Yeah. The pizza shop, it was Haki's Pizza. It was Haki's Pizza? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like a go-over, say a go-over well. Yeah. So when I won the championship, you know, like, the champion is like about not giving up, you know, the champion. That's where you become champion. Okay. So me, I didn't give up. I worked so hard. I want to, like, achieve my dream and want to become the world pizza champion. I said, this name is a beautiful name. I want to put a champion. But the trademark, the name, it was so hard. I make that happen too. Wow. Love it.  And you give back not only what you do on Wednesday when we come together, but you give back all the time. So what would you say to businesses at this time around giving back when so many people are in need? What would be your advice? The business owners, you know, like, when you started giving back, you cannot stop. There's so many pizzerias right now, you know, like they get inspired by my story, how I do. And so many pizzerias right now, they're giving back as well. That's the excellent. And as not only pizzerias, we should all restaurants own. You know, I know we work so hard.  Yes. Better education. But, you know, like, don't give to get. Give, just give, give. You will get it back. No, I will say. Because you will be safe. You will be safe. You will be healthy. You will be happy. You will be everything. And how long have you been, you know, really volunteering with the Ellen McGuire Foundation and PCNY? How long have you been volunteering with them? I've been joined with them for seven years, I will say. Okay. Yeah. We used to be like on 8th Avenue on 34th Street. But right now we are on 34th Street. But before you were on 8th Avenue. So I will say like seven years with them. But we have like not only just, you know, I do like four days a week. I don't do just like one. We know, so we do that one. We do like Sunday on the Lansing Street and the Algerit as a church. Same things about two, three hundred homes people, they come over there. Over there we give them haircut as well. Where's this? That's on Sundays? That's on Sundays. Okay. I have to meet you over there. Would you please? If you don't mind. I would love that. I was really touched by your donation with your sales in one of your stores that you were donating and proceeds to Turkey during the terrible earthquake. You know, I joined a Turkish leaders at one in the mosque last week. And we just really called for people to step up but you stepped up already. You know, what motivated you to do that? I mean, people's over there right now.  Over 40,000, that's a lot. You know, it's, it's hard. People are suffering over there. It's, you know, like they need our help. And I always say, when people they ask you help, please help them right away. Don't wait. And you know, right now they need my help more than ever. And you know, like I think like as just a human, as like Turkish guys, just human, I need to do this. It's the right thing to do. And you know, your pizza place is called champion.  And I cannot thank you enough. You inspire me when we stand side by side on Wednesdays. I'm looking forward to stopping to seeing you on Sundays. It's just a real call that we have. All we need is one day a week. If people would just give their time one hour, one hour a week, I like to say, one hour a week of really dedicating our time to giving back to people, we could accomplish so much. And you personify that. You personify it every day. And I cannot thank you enough. And I look forward to you and I continue to do great things together in this great city. And so thank you so much. My good friend, Haki, the founder of Champion Pizza and really your story is motivating. And it tells us never give up. There's always an opportunity. Thank you very much. Give up should never be an option. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And this is the information I wanted to share today. I hope to see you for another episode of Get Stuffed, Done Cats.


Hey there, Chad Banger here for High University Libraries. If you're just getting started researching a company, I recommend looking at some market line reports. These reports are easy to read for the novice business researcher, and they're found in InvestTex via the Mergent Online Database. This video shows you how to find them, so here you go. To get to InvestTex, first thing you're going to do is click on the InvestTex tab in the Mergent Online interface. And on this page, the first thing I'm going to do is search by company name or ticker. In this case, I'm choosing to search by company name, because I don't know the ticker for electronic arts off the top of my head. And we will either click Search or Add to Criteria. Either search will work fine.  And in my particular example, I'm going to just search for the market line reports. And so I'm going to search by contributor. And because I've told you what market line is, market line, you can find it by just searching, click on Market Line, and then adding to Criteria and then searching it. And that will give you 50 reports versus 16,000 reports. And what these reports have are some good information, typically 50 to 100 pages or so on your company. Choosing one hits a little bit dated intentionally, just so we're not disclosing any up-to-date information on the public web. But your table of contents here, you see they cover key facts, give you a company analysis, a nice SWOT analysis, company history, deals, mergers and acquisitions, all that kind of good stuff. The SWOT analysis, a lot of students are really after. This kind of covers the company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In addition to the table, you get nice paragraphs of information that kind of talk about why they said this is their strength or weakness in this particular area. Hopefully this video helped you find the information that you need. I wish you the best in your business research endeavors. Take care.


Hello and good morning. Welcome to our presentation and thank you for coming. I'm Paulie Wong and this is my partner, Caleb Jane. Hello everyone, thanks for coming. And we are both studying mechanical engineering at the Paulie U. So do you know what an intelligent building is? Actually, intelligent buildings have been developed since the 1980s and since then, interests have been growing in them. However, they have not been used as widely as expected. We can't see many examples in the world and there are not many at all in Hong Kong. City Bank Plaza being one of the few instances. So why aren't there more intelligent buildings in Hong Kong? Well, that is what we will answer in our presentation today. We'd like to show you some of the advantages and disadvantages of intelligent buildings and then discuss why this type of building is not used for residential buildings in Hong Kong. We have divided our presentation into four sections. First, I will tell you what the features of intelligent buildings are. Then I will look at the advantages. Next, I will hand you over to Caleb who will analyze the drawbacks and will finally give a conclusion as to why this type of building is not used for housing in our city. After that, we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. The presentation will last around 10 minutes and we have included a complete reference list on our final slide. Okay, I will start now by explaining to you some of the features of intelligent buildings. Derek Klamat-Kooms in his 2004 book, Stay Stats.


Has anyone ever called you out for always playing the victim or told you that you have a victim personality? Hearing things like this can be upsetting and make us defensive because it's like they're invalidating our feelings and belittling our struggles. But it's important to recognize constructive criticism when we receive it, especially when it comes from someone you trust to have your best interest at heart. So before you dismiss their words altogether, it might be good to take the time to reflect on them first. Licensed Therapist Dr. Vicky Botnick defines victim mentality as a state of mind wherein a person identifies themselves as a victim of circumstances or other people, even when untrue. Thus, people with this type of outlook avoid taking responsibility for their own actions and feel that they have no control over what happens to them. With that said, here are six signs according to experts that victim mentality may be ruining your life. Learned Helplessness People with a victim mentality view themselves as powerless and at the mercy of others, or life in general. The mindset that we're unable to control, impact, or change our circumstances is what is known as learned helplessness. According to licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Karen Gep, people afflicted with learned helplessness stop trying to overcome the challenges they face and instead resort to blaming everyone else around them for their misfortunes and mistakes. So if you often find yourself complaining all the time whenever something goes wrong but without reflecting first on the part you may have played, then you may be struggling with a victim mentality. False Proof of Anger According to counselor Andrea M. Darcy and therapist Dr. Sherry Jacobson, people who live their life from a victim mindset tend to spend a lot of time suffering in silence and repressing their rage. They are rarely visibly angry, but are convinced that those around them are always upset or angry with them. They read too much into every little thing and take everything too personally, taking it as false proof that everyone else is against them as a way to reinforce their view that they are helpless victims of their own circumstances. Unrealistic Expectations Similar to the last point, those with a victim mentality also expect other people to just know how they feel and give them consideration all the time. For example, when someone hurts their feelings without meaning to, they automatically assume it was intentional, but they don't usually communicate it to the other person because they unrealistically expect them to just know it. And according to Dr. Karangep, this may lead to them keeping score in relationships, which can also lead to difficulty with intimacy and trust. Over Explaining Yourself Another sign that you may have a victim mentality according to Andrea Darcy and Dr. Sherry Jacobson is that you're likely to over explain your side of the story whenever a conflict arises. You may also talk about things that happened a long time ago and get hung up on the past. Why? Because those trapped in a victim mindset are constantly seeking proof that they did nothing wrong and everyone else is at fault instead. So they can sometimes have a very warped sense of logic just to justify their passivity and inaction. Negative Outlook Do you believe that the world is a dangerous place, that other people are too self-interested or antagonistic towards you? And if so, do you think of yourself as someone who can't fend for themselves or achieve their goals because of it? If so, such negative self-talk is most likely the result of having a self-victimizing viewpoint. Says mental health journalist Crystal Raipel and psychologist Dr. Timothy J. Legg. And this way of thinking often gives way to catastrophizing beliefs such as everything bad happens to me and I can't do anything about it. That may be hurting your self-esteem. Not coping with stress. Finally, mental health and wellness coach, Alaya Cooks Campbell, explains that having a victim mentality makes it more difficult for us to cope with stress. Because viewing ourselves as the victim all the time erodes our self-confidence and takes a toll on our emotional well-being. Often causing a lot of frustration, anger and resentment. So when stressful things happen, you probably can't think straight. You may also have angry outbursts from time to time. Feel the need to socially withdraw and self-isolate and struggle with feelings of loneliness and depression. Having a victim mentality can also make it difficult for us to seek help or support from others. Because it makes us worry of their intentions. So do you relate to any of the things we've mentioned here? Did going through this list help you realize some of the ways you may be trapped in a victim mentality? Answering yes may feel shameful or overwhelming. But recognizing that you're living your life from this negative state of mind is an important first step to take in moving towards empowerment and away from victimhood. The change isn't likely to come easily or quickly.  It's also worth noting that a victim mentality is often an unhealthy way of coping with unhealed trauma. So you may want to consider the benefits of seeking professional help too. What are your thoughts on this video? Let us know in the comments below.

Next question is from Andy Penston. How do you deal with the weird looks you get doing the mobility sessions in map performance? Why does no one do walking or moving exercises normally? Did we? We should ask Aaron Alexander. Did we put? Yeah, I did a post like way long ago. I don't even know if it's still on there of doing froggers in the gym. I did a video. I was teaching it. Did we program that in a mass performance? Do you know froggers are in the mobility? Is it in there? Okay. So yeah, that one looks really weird because you're humping the floor. Yeah. It just, you know, I tell you what, some of the best results I ever got working out in the gym was when I stopped caring. Yes. What everybody always when I cared so much about what people thought when I was working out, I would do the wrong lifts. I'd train too intensely, add too much weight, didn't do certain exercises because I wasn't good at them. So I don't want to use lightweight on them.  And I had lots of clients that would have challenges with this. Oh, you know, I feel intimidated by working out and I'm a new beginner. And you know, it's funny working in gyms. I realized nobody cares.   Everybody else is following each other. A bunch of parents and start doing it. Yeah. Copying each other. And I swear to God, this is happening every time. And so yeah, I have a different attitude towards this because this was something that was pretty funny because when I was on my own and training like there wasn't a lot of other gyms that I could, you know, take my business to. And so the closest gym was Gold Gym. Gold Gym, everybody knows, pretty hardcore like bodybuilding style gym, right? Here comes Mr. Functional Guy, right?  And so, you know, I would get all the looks and the scoffs and the big bodybuilder. And next week, they're starting to ask me about it. Why are you doing that with your clients, bro? And so I was doing like crazy stuff. Like I would do like inchworms and things like in the middle where everybody had to walk in. And I'm just like, dude, not giving any. So that's how I was. I feel the same way too because I feel, I mean, of course, you do know and I do know.  Everybody goes to the bench press and does bench press. But how often do you see somebody do a Turkish getup off the floor and do it with good form? I used to deadlift in the late 90s when nobody deadlifted and members would stop me. I'm a general man. I hurt your back. Yes. Members would stop me. What do you do? You know, here's my advice to first off, you're there to train yourself. So remember that you're not there for anybody else. So who cares about anybody else? So that's number one. Number two, here's a couple of things you could do. And I've advised clients with this. People who really had issues with being intimidated wear glasses and wear and cover yourself up. If you go to the gym in sweats, a hoodie, headphones and sunglasses, you're in your own space. Do your own thing.  It actually does change kind of that internal vibe. And sometimes I would do that even on my own because I like to be in my own space and pretend like it's just me. Everything but the sunglasses. I used to train like that. That was especially during competitive time where I don't want any distractions. I don't want to talk to anybody. I would be fully hooded out and big headphones on and head down like I just want to be in the zone. I wouldn't bother by anybody. But your best results are going to start to happen when you stop caring about that. It's all about you, how you feel, what works for your body. Stop worrying about anybody else. And I promise your results will be much better versus when you're really concerned about everybody else. And you can, by the way, working in gyms for as long as I have, I mean you can not only see but you can smell the people who come in, who care what everybody thinks. It's like the girls that would come in, perfume would just like stink up the whole gym and full on makeup and they got the new splash. None of them know what they're doing. Yeah, dude. Don't talk trash about them. I appreciate them. Yeah, right, right, right. Or the guy that's like, you know, got to make sure I load up this trap bar machines.   Nobody cares.

The following demonstration is for informational purposes only. Please do not attempt. At DynaVap, we make very durable vaporizers. What kind of beating can they really take? Can you use a VapCap as a golf tee? Can a VapCap survive a trip in a rocket? And what happens when you put a VapCap in a box full of explosives and light the fuse? That was loud. We conducted four experiments to see how much abuse a VapCap could take. That is really, really hot. We'll show you what happened and how well they held up to our intentional destruction on this episode of Exploring the Dynamics. Our first experiment was to see if a VapCap could stand in as a golf tee. If you're golfing with a VapCap, who needs a tee when you have an M, right, Coley? We stuck our all stainless steel vaporizer, the 2020 M, in the grass. The 2020 M can be a tee if you need it to be. So it appears that our M functions just fine as a tee and looks like it's still in completely usable condition. We lost our ball in the woods, so we thought we'd see if we can golf with an M. A direct hit and our 2020 M suffered minimal damage. Nice. Coley's golf club, on the other hand. I don't think we should hit vaporizers with golf club. Next, we turned up the heat. We're going to burn some titanium and we're going to see what kind of effect it has on some of our devices and how well they hold up to what should be over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. We've got a 2020 M, we've got a Hydrovong Darkwood, an Omni-Stem, a Lightwood Vong, a Gray BB9, a Rosium, a Phantom, and looks like a CVAP. With temperatures of up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, there's not likely to be much left of the wood Hydrovongs or the O-Rings. Our high temperature O-Rings are rated to withstand a continuous temperature of 415 degrees Fahrenheit. We may have exceeded that by just a little bit. You just see it glowing, it's bright white hot as the wind blows here. That is really, really hot. It was intense from a couple meters away. You can actually tell a lot about a fire by the color of the light that it's giving off. When you see white areas, you know you're over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. And in some cases, when the wind's really blowing or if you have a little extra source of oxygen, you can significantly exceed those temperatures. I think it's cooling down, it's only orange right now, so if the wind blows a little bit more, we might get a little more of that white heat. Look how hot that is. It's like coals. It's so interesting because it's metal burning. Wow, that held up surprisingly good. Wow, I honestly thought this would melt. And all the BBs are intact. Don't break it. Wow, oh look it. There's something. That looks like an omni. I wonder if this is the phantom. That is just sweet. Look at that color. My best guess is we can clean this up through on some new O-Rings and everything should be fine, although the cap might be out of calibration. For our next experiment, we wanted to see what would happen if we launched a 2020M in a model rocket. We carefully packed our VapCap into the cargo bay of our rocket and took it to the launch pad. We've got our rocket over here and we've got our flag so we can check our wind direction. And I think it's about time to gain some altitude in five, four, three, two, one. Turns out the wind stopped blowing and our parachute didn't deploy. That might be a hard one to recover. We may have to try this one again. For our last experiment, we packed a box with explosives, put an M on top and lit the fuse. I was just thinking that this would be a good spot for a little bit of that chariot of fire soundtrack running away from the box. And it started burning a little bit faster than I anticipated. There's actually several explosions here, three of them to be precise, and a fair amount of burning metal and other things for dramatic effect. Smoke flashes, it was kind of loud and hot burning metal flying through the air. Oh boy, that was loud. Well, oh, look at that. And there's our M that might be hot. It's smoking. It's not terribly hot. They made it. So how much abuse can a little 2020M really take? We can see we've got a little bit of a bend in our tip in the M that was the T. But it seems like it's still completely functional. It just might give a little bit of a wobble when you're rotating it. If we look at the mouthpiece of the unit that we tried to stand in for a golf ball, it's got a little bit of a ding, but the o-ring still seats. And I feel confident that this device is also still usable. But it also left a pretty nice mark on the golf club. And here's the M from the rocket.  The 2020M in the box of explosives is pretty dirty. You can see there's a lot of metal oxide and ash on the surfaces.  And I feel pretty confident that with a little TLC, this thing can be cleaned up and put right back into service. I don't think we'll have to replace any parts, but it will take a thorough cleaning to get things back to a usable condition after this combustion event. And from the fire, here's some of our parts. Some look better than others. But I'm pretty confident that nearly all of these devices, save for the caps and the o-rings, are cleanable and would be functional again. Even this omni-stem, which has a lot of titanium dioxide on it, which is why it's so white, will clean right up. It just might take a little extra effort to get them there. We did get some really interesting colors, though, from the time in the fire. Nice browns, bronze, coppery, some unexpected colors. This rosium got kind of blue, burned off some of that coating. Not much left for o-rings there. Here's another example of the high-temperature o-rings, not exactly liking temperatures that are well beyond their design limitations. I really wonder what color these are going to turn when we just wash them up and get all the loose stuff off. These might have a really interesting permanent patina. In conclusion, the Dynavap M may not be indestructible, but it can certainly take some significant abuse. It can take a beating from a titanium golf club. It can survive some colorful explosives. It's not terribly hot. And maybe even survive a ride in a model rocket. But extreme temperatures will damage the o-rings and will permanently decalibrate the cap. In fact, the three most vulnerable components on your VapCap M are the o-rings, the cap, and the CCD. And it turns out you can damage your tip as well if you really want to. What destructive tests would you like to see us do next? Leave us a note in the comments below and please leave the dangerous experiments to us. Thanks for watching this episode of Exploring the Dynaverse. Check out some of these other videos for more information on other cool things.


lock because they are linear features already and provide this pathway across the landscape. I think there's been some discussion about. Repairing areas being addressed under Senate bill 213. I think very highly of the reverse program. And all the work they do, but to incorporate all these functions that I've listed here under a reverse program bill. Under a reverse program would mean rewriting the reverse program. So it operates like the whatnot wetland rules where you have a whole set of functions that have to be addressed. Or you figure out how to get wildlife. And. Landscape connectivity and those features built into a reverse program. That's all I wanted to just mention how. Many tools we have for conserving an ecological functional landscape. From landowner stewardship, which I still think is the most important thing we have. Landowner incentives like current use that help landowners. Financially in a way that they can make decisions. Both state and federal and land trust. Conservation of lands in fee and in easement. Municipal zoning and planning. And like. I don't picture active 50 as being a panacea in any sense. But I think it has. It's done a huge amount in terms of what landscape we have now. And the status that Vermont has or the status that our landscape has is being so intact. And I think these changes that are. Undeclated in 687 and in the report will go a long way to really improve that. That's all I've got. Thank you for your testimony. And for taking the time to look at it closely and give us that input. Do members have questions. Representative bongar question. I want to say that I find a lot of us to be really helpful. It's, it's. Some things that have been rolling around in my head, you put your finger on. So thank you. Thanks again for your testimony. Thanks. Great to see you in the building. All right, members, we will take a break for lunch.


In the future, we have to look at some facts that may be rather painful, like loss of revenues or loss of opportunities or change of business model. Talk about Nokia and companies like that, right? The pain that you experience of having to recognize that something has really changed, that you have to reinvent. So it's about pain and love, you know, falling in love with an idea. If Jeff Bezos had not fallen in love with the Kindle, we wouldn't have an e-book reader today, because nobody asked for it. So falling in love with an idea is crucial, and we kind of need both for that future. Briefly about myself, I used to be a musician and producer. I work now as a futurist, which is basically about four sites, understanding what goes on, helping people discover the future. I have my own TV show called The Future Show, and I live in Switzerland. And this is my job in that shell, taking a very complex environment and bringing it down to a key point. And I will not be talking the whole time, you will be delighted to hear. I'm just doing a short introduction with a couple of slides, and I'll be moderating the rest of the day. Important for this conversation, I think for the whole discussion about technology, is this sign that's derived from Pablo Picasso and actually been extended by Kevin Kelly of Wired Magazine, who said computers are for answers, humans are for questions. And that's a very interesting part when it's about the future, right? What is our job going to be in that near future? So I'll get going on this, and then we'll move on to the other sessions. Again, if you want to tweet anytime, you can ask the question through the system. My assistant is looking at the answers, and we'll decide if we're going to display it. The first thing about the future is really difficult, is that we're moving into an exponential society, right? We're moving into a world where we no longer have linear changes. And this is basically because now technology, as Moore's law and Metcalf's law and other laws of digital advancement technology, make it possible for things to happen in a very short time that we thought were science fiction. For example, automatic translation. You can now buy an app called Say Hi for $2, and you can translate in real time in 14 languages. You can have a conversation with the Japanese sushi cook without speaking Japanese from Arabic to Japanese in real time. And he will answer back using the same app, talking about science fiction. And these things are now happening every single day. There's lots and lots of advancement in computer learning, technology, deep learning. It's kind of like this GIF here, this little clip. It took a long time for anything to happen, but when something really gets going, it basically fills up very quickly. And there's a great quote by Hemingway who said, basically, how does a person go broke? Gradually, then suddenly. And this is something we have to remember that. We look back and we're saying, we talked about this 1995, digital media over the top, television, big data, right? But it took forever and now that it's here, it's explosive. So just the fact that we think it took a long time does not mean that our future will not be exponentially larger. You look backwards and you say, okay, it was quite clear 10 years ago that people were interested in electric cars or hybrid cars. And nothing happened for a long time. And all of a sudden, every single car company in the world has one goal, is to build electric, self-driving, assisted driving, shared, public cars. That happened in two years. So change is exponential. There's another great word that goes with this, we should put on the list for the wrap-up later. It's called combinatorial compound. Basically means all these trends are happening at the same time. If you look at all this list, which is a rather geeky list, social media, cloud, big data, internet of things, robotics, and so on, all these are happening at the same time. So if you're in the business of telecom and communications, you're not going to get around thinking about robotics, thinking about the value of data, cloud security, education. And that makes life rather busy, right? Because the next seven years are going to be explosive in this combinatorial future. Here's another truth, I don't know who said this first, but I like to use this. That technology or machines, robots, software, does not have ethics. It will do whatever it needs to do to get the job done. And it will do whatever it needs to do to make itself stronger. If you give a robot 50,000 CPUs, if he can, it will pull it all inside himself to make himself stronger, because that's what they do, right? That's what machines do. So we have to think about ethics, because most of these issues that we're currently facing, big data, security, data standards, all of these things, privacy, those are ethical issues. Just like we have to think about if a country is allowed to have a nuclear power plant for energy, or if they are allowed to build a nuclear bomb. It's 98% the same material. Those are issues we have to think about when it's about data and the future of communications, and the question of why we use technology. You know, 10 years ago when I was an internet entrepreneur, our first question was a very simple question. We had a plan, we wanted to do something, and the question was how do we do this? How much money do we spend, and what technology do we use? And the question was gone. The question was also if we can do something. Today, the answer to every single question, whether you can do geoengineering or climate control, is usually going to be yes. Sooner or later, you can. So we have to think about the question of why, and we have to reset our brain to think exponential, which Yuri will talk about in a later session. We have to get used to the fact that the world is ramping up like this, and we are like this, right? We are linear. We don't think faster because we use a mobile phone. It looks like we think faster. So technology is progressing at exponential warp speed, but we are down here. We are here in this place that is very much using this very powerful tool as Ray Kurzweil said, and the mobile phone that I have today, I have the power that the President of the United States had in his mainframe computer 10 years ago. That's my mobile phone today. So we have to think about what that means, how our laws are going to be impacted by these regulations.  You're not just thinking about who's going to have what frequency and what can they do in all these things, right? You're thinking about all of these things. The job has gotten a lot larger, right? But think about all what that means and how it comes together. And now we're going to have three billion new minds. I think we always had those minds that just weren't online, right? But three billion new connected people in the next five years. Look at the growth in the developing countries, right? The growth is mind-boggling. The countries that are red are going to connect, red and orange. Three billion new minds. You know what they're going to do? They're going to innovate. They're going to disrupt. They're going to find other ways to do other things. They're going to consume. They're going to create. And they're going to do it not in English. They're going to do it in all their own languages. So this is a world that is going to be rapidly different as to what it does. We're going to have powerful new intermediaries. You guys are probably all Facebook users or ex-Facebook users if you can get away. Did you know that 30% of kids between 15 and 35, call them kids, right? 30% of those people are using Facebook to read the news. They're not going on news websites. They're not going on television. They're not going to see an annular BBC. They're going to the Facebook feed to read the news. And do you know how many people are curating the news in Facebook? 15 people. 15 people are in charge of 30% of all the Facebook users that go there for news. It's mind-boggling, right? New intermediaries, new powers.  They were born digital and for them it's just like going to the bathroom when they connect to the internet. It's something you do all the time. It's something that's natural, so to speak. Look at these stats over here. You can clearly see the change here in developing countries you have a lot more digital natives than we have in Europe or the US. The change that's going to come from that will be absolutely astounding. Here's some scenes from a digital native, right? This is an old video but it still makes around is how a kid has figured out to use the iPad now it's using a magazine it's trying to zoom into the magazine, right? I'm sure you've seen this before. Mind-boggling, how behavior changes. And then there's people on Facebook who are trying to find new friends when there's friends knocking out at their door. I'm sure you've been there too, trying to find more friends. And this is what happens when you do texting while you walk, right? This is a very common problem. And this is a street sign in China. Forgot it very exactly. If you're looking at your mobile phone you can only walk in a certain lane. It's regulated because there's so many accidents people running into each other. So digital natives are taken over and those are different kind of people. They're going to pay differently, they're going to consume differently, they're going to study differently, they're going to vote differently. And they're going to expect other things from us. This is an investment that Google made last month. I think 700 million dollars in this company called Magic Leap that is reinventing how we see things on a computer. 3D immersive without wearing any glasses, virtual reality coming out of your computer. So you can go inside of an environment. Mind-boggling changes that are expecting us there. The reinvention of how we see things with the Oculus Rift and virtual travel, we'll see some of that later. Augment in a virtual reality. All these things in Google Glass. For example, this is a scene from a Google video talking about what happens when you wear a virtual device and you go into a store and you get set information from points of sale in the store on your eyeglasses. This is now commercially available Google Glass. So it's showing you stuff and showing you directions in the store. Okay Glass, how do I know when avocados are right? Well you can see that on YouTube but you get the point that I'm trying to make here. And that leads us to something like smart cities, right? Connecting cities. Finding a way to save energy. Finding a way to regulate information. Ever since that happened, for example, in Los Angeles 4,700 traffic lights have been networked together. 10% of gas can be saved by networking the traffic lights. Just by very simple means. You're seeing the rise of urbanization of course everywhere around the world and smarter cities and the whole debate about smart farming by connecting fields and plows. I mean this is a mind boggling opportunity for developing countries. Smart agriculture. Smart cities. Smart energy. There's a spot for leadership right there. And we have two large things that are happening. One is the internet of things. Connected things, you know. Traffic lights. Wearables. Monitoring devices.  And the other part of that is artificial intelligence that allows machines to emulate humans. The most simple thing is if you have an iPhone or even I think a Microsoft phone does it as well, you can speak to your iPhone and ask the question on Siri and you can say how is the weather today and Siri will give you an answer. That is essentially a form of artificial intelligence. Every single internet company in the world has number one goal right now is not to improve search but to develop an artificial intelligence that knows what we're doing and what we want. It's potentially quite scary and also very powerful. Connected cars. Connected households. Connected people of course. Connected thermostats. Those are mind boggling things. Some people are saying that if we put this together we can achieve an energy saving of 40% worldwide and together with a switch to renewable energy, at least partly with renewable energy, we can solve global warming based on the internet of things. So there's lots and lots of things happening and then there is stuff that's happening in business where all of a sudden we can see all the way through facts because we have huge feeds of data. We have the possibility to look all the way through and get some sort of super intelligence. If you look at software that does this for example now you're able to analyze your customers and their behavior with two people where it used to take you 300 to figure out what they're doing. Very powerful big data. We'll talk more about that in the panel discussion later. We have this whole trend towards technology can predict. Google has decided not to get involved with predicting the stock market which they could. See of Google said we could do this because we have all the trends in what people are searching for. We have all that intelligence. This is a scene from Minority Report and predictive analytics of course are taken off everywhere. And then of course as you know if we use mobile devices with broadband then we're giving our data into the network and we're starting to put stuff into the cloud. For example, the phone number of your relatives. You don't remember you put on your device. If you're looking up somebody on LinkedIn you're using the cloud as your biography. So you're outsourcing your thinking to the cloud if you have a cloud of course. But make no mistake about this even in the remotest part of the world in five years this becomes a standard. Connectivity at high speeds, cloud computing because basically the efficiency of that is extremely powerful. But I can ask you, you can answer later in your feedback session now who's in charge of this? I mean who actually runs this cloud? Who makes sure that my data about my health records doesn't go to any doctor that pretends to be a doctor? Or any police agency in the world without a reason, without a warrant? Who is in charge of the social contracts? Will we end up in a world that looks like this? As this book says, the circle, it's a famous book about privacy, a novel everything that happens must be known. Will this be the end of anonymity, privacy, boredom? So those are some questions we'll debate later but basically what we see here is quite clear that people are connected in a really high powered way right now and we can see what they're doing. Everybody is becoming a source of data. All of us are a constant source of data. And there's companies like Facebook who are using that data to build a gigantic business. Not saying that without any question and we'll discuss that later but basically what we see here is that data is really becoming the new oil. We've said this 10 years ago and it's interesting to say that here in Doha of course and in the Gulf region, data is in fact running the economy already. Some people like McKinsey have said that within 10 years the data economy will be bigger than the fossil fuel economy. So the question is, can we do this without having this disaster of an environmental like data disaster, like a Fukushima of data, an explosion of data that's not supposed to happen. And then we have these things we'll be debating in the second part of the day where some technologies are becoming available that are quite useful to some of us but very concerning to others. The idea of having nanotechnology in your bloodstream that fixes your cholesterol, that maybe changes your genes, that orchestrates medication. That idea is wildly popular now. Personalized medicine? Of course it's great if you're sick but otherwise would you like the idea of people having the internet access on their iris with a contact lens? That's becoming a reality as well. Brain-computer interfaces. Just last week a major breakthrough of being able to control a machine by thinking and having it picked up through a stream. The connection of humans and people. What we do on smartphones is to use them as an outside brain. Some of us are very excited about this. Other ones feel like this is very creepy because the system is sort of moving inside of us or we are moving inside of the system. You can see here the world's first family robot called Jibo. This machine was funded on Kickstarter for several million dollars and what it does, it's a house robot you put on your desk and it takes pictures, it talks to you, it orchestrates your reality. And here's a quote from the founder who says she envisions a day when every household will have one and then she says they are not robots, they are not tools, they are partners. And this is not a joke. This is a real life project. So we'll discuss that with Rolf when he comes on later. Robots that move far beyond what we used to call machines. Seems like a trip into science fiction land but it's just around the corner. So the question I have for you is like does technology have seemingly... I have to connect this. Can you please connect the power to my computer there? It's running out of power. So technology is very important to look at what happens there. When we have technology that connects us, the question comes up, do we actually become like technology? Technology becomes extremely powerful but we don't really want to come and compete with technology. Can you switch back to my presentation please? Just put the power plug in. You can just switch back, there was battery left. I mean I can just ramble on without my slides but I think you would prefer to have that to switch back to my slide. I will pay you extra bonus tonight if you switch back to my slides. We'll need it for the rest of it too. This is a preview of a poll we're going to do later. So the question is should humans become technology? I think the answer is clearly not and you may have seen the cover of Wired magazine two years ago when Ray Kurzweil, who is the founder of the Singularity Movement, talked about how we can potentially live forever because of technology. Not forever but maybe 150 years. So those are very interesting questions that are kind of wondering whether we're going to resort to what has been referred to as machine thinking. Thinking of our environment as a machine. To that I have a small comment in this cartoon that the cartoon says, no you weren't downloaded, you were born. And that is kind of a good summary of the whole debate about humans versus machines. So where will this take us? We'll discuss later on on the panel. We have artificial intelligence that has been called by many people to be an extremely startling and unsettling phenomenon. For example, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, he said it could be as dangerous as nuclear power. And you've seen some of those quotes we'll discuss later on the panel as well. So this is leading us to new kinds of arms race. The next arms race, the next military is going to be about guns and soldiers, as it is already not really. It's about technology, data computing, cloud security, cyber security, cyber warfare. Up to 50% of all military spending in five years will be going towards that resource. So that's a huge thing for, of course it's also a business opportunity, right? But it's a new kind of arms race led with data and artificial intelligence, a kind of war click. So this future is leading us to an interesting place and you can judge for yourself and give us some feedback on this later. Are we moving into a future that's hell or heaven?  Because technology really could be both. It could be heaven because we can be efficient, we can save energy, we can communicate, we can fix things, we can innovate. Or it could be hell, you know, what the difference between humans and technology is. Or if we lose privacy, or if we become addicted to this world. Automation, everywhere in the world we have automation. From the hotel key to ordering food on the iPad to giving your luggage away at the airport, everything is becoming automated. And you know what that means, for example, if you live in India and China, from there, you know, manufacturing is impacted by this every single day. Many companies, I just saw the other day that a robot was ordered called Baxter, over a million of them were ordered for factories in China. A million. To replace people doing jobs that can be automated. So this idea of software technology taken over jobs, that's with us now. And right now it's just repetitive jobs, but in the future it will also be white collar jobs. Financial analysts, bookkeepers, futurists, no, not futurists, never. But routine based, average jobs, look at the stats here from the Oxford study. It's between 42 and 64% that could be impacted by the change of technology automating digitizing things. This idea that has been generated here for a long time, starting with the latest Honda project, the Asimov.  So the future for us also holds this intermediation. All of a sudden what's happening is that lots of traditional businesses are being threatened by new businesses like M-Pesa, mobile money. That used to be the banks, at least in not in Africa, but other places. Now it's mobile money. Going direct, for example, using an app where you can get a house loan. So what you do there is you just use the app to find a house and go online, Facebook for news, Uber for the taxi chauffeur, and even for airplanes. If you like to go on private airplanes and you have the money, you use JetSmarter to get one over the Internet, just like a car. Mind-boggling, all these disruptive technologies. This software called Xero, X-E-R-O from New Zealand. Their goal is to put about 10 million bookkeepers out of work, because they have reinvented every step of the bookkeeping process that cost me $200 a year rather than $3,000. And that's happening across the board. That's the power of technology, and that's of course also the threat to the system, and human work is because of that environment, is moving up the food chain. This is a great clip by IBM showing how in this pyramid our work and our future is moving away from data information knowledge, that is computers, to the top level, wisdom and intelligence. Things that only humans can do. So more dependency on technology, but hopefully also shorter work hours, at least in the developed countries, will be partly of our future. I have a few more slides and then we'll get some questions and some debate. So basically in the digital transformation of society that we're seeing, there's a flip part of this as well, and we have to look at this and we'll discuss it later, and that is the transformation of the ecosystem. The entire world is now becoming interconnected, interdependent. Everything is mashed up with other things. I mean all of the industries are now mashed up, and new players and new industries come along, and now we have a new principle coming up called People Planet Profit, a new way to think of how you run companies. And this is not about ideology, this is about the future of economics. And we had invited a good friend of mine, Jeremy Rifkin, to speak here, unfortunately it didn't work out, but he talks a lot about this, principle of interdependence. And I think this is really what we're seeing now. If you're in a telecom business, you're in the education business, because education will happen over the network. It's all connected to each other, and that's basically the future that we're going to see with energy. For example, the whole discussion about how people are changing from the internet to what we call the intergrid, you know, energy that goes into the grid, not just information. And then the whole change of how people think, you know, the millennial generation, the YouTube generation, is what's been referred to as Generation Re. They reuse, they repair, they recycle, they refuse, and they rethink. Generation Re. And there's tremendous potential here. I think if you're looking at the YouTube generation and then Generation Alpha, which is the really young ones, that's what they're going to be doing. And they come from developing countries. They don't come from Europe or from America. They're still there, but the large numbers are somewhere else. So to solve this problem, you know, food, terrorism, energy, basically it's going to be on the same exponential curve. And some people have called this the rise of sustainable capitalism. I'm not going to get into detail, because it would basically take the rest of the day to explain this, but you're welcome to Google it. But basically, it's those three different points. The past was about profit. The present is about profit, and some people, they have to admit that we're now more concerned with people, and the future will be people, planet, profit. That is possibly a total redesign of the stock market, for example, and the whole reason for making money. And companies like Unilever have started this, and Patagonia, and many other companies on the very same path. This is the book by Jeremy Rifkin, who was going to be here, called Zero Marginal Cost Society. I would recommend that you read this. Two more trends. As you know, offline is now the luxury. It's funny that when you're in a developing country, you feel happy to connect, because it's working, you know, you can get your emails and you can do things, but when you are fully connected, sometimes you're very happy if it doesn't work. In fact, now in developing countries, there's hotels that guarantee you cannot get on the internet. They charge extra not to connect, because then you're free from having to answer something, or free from having to communicate. And it's really funny when we look at this, you know, we used to say that being online is a luxury, because it's expensive, and that is still true in many countries, of course, as we know. But we have a mix of those two scenarios. This restaurant, for example, in New York, gives you 10% deduction on your dinner bill if you check in your mobile phone before you go eat. So you can be in the moment as it's been referred to. So very important, I think, for the rest of our discussion today, to determine the balance between humanity and technology, we can not just be worried. I mean, worry is only a minor motivational driver.  You know, we can't think about the future by just being worried. We have to go beyond the fear of what is happening there. We have to try to find our way inside of this. And lastly, great story from Henry Ford, the car inventor. If Henry Ford had asked people what they wanted, they would have said, faster horses. Because that's all they knew were horses. And so it's very important, I think, for us as leaders, we must go beyond the obvious. So I'm going to ask you repeatedly today to go at least one step, if not two, not 10. You can leave that to us if you want. One or two steps beyond the obvious, because if you ask your people what they want, they will tell you the obvious, and you already know that. And some of them will tell you a little bit more. But go one step beyond the obvious requires foresight. So thanks very much for your time and attention. It's been a great pleasure to talk to you. Don't forget our website, futurediscussion.com, to leave comments, and we're monitoring that right now, or to use it on Twitter. So thanks very much, and let's get ready for the next panelist. Thank you.


The IndexedDB 2.0 standard is now fully supported in Chrome and features new schema management, bulk action methods, and more standardized handling of failures. Progressive web apps become more immersive with display full screen, allow top navigation by user activation, give sandbox diaphragms new powers, and there's plenty more. I'm Pete LePage. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 58. The structure of your site's database has large performance impacts and can be difficult to change. IndexedDB 2.0 changes that. Updates, object stores, and indexes can now be renamed in place after refactoring. Binary keys allow for more natural keys without worrying about performance penalties. Data retrieval is easier with get key, open key cursor, and continue primary key methods. And bulk recovery of entire data sets no longer needs a cursor with get all and get all key. When progressive web apps are launched from the Android home screen, they launch in a standalone app-like mode that hides the omnibox. This helps create an engaging user experience and frees up screen space for content. However, for even more immersive experiences like games, video players, and other rich content, mobile UI elements such as the system bar can still be a distraction and take up valuable pixels that you may want. Now you can make your progressive web app feel more immersive by setting display full screen in your web app manifest. When your app is launched from the home screen, all non-app mobile UI elements will be hidden. Chrome 58 now supports the new iframe sandbox keyword, allow top navigation by user activation. When triggered by a user interaction, this keyword gives sandboxed iframes the ability to navigate the top-level page while still blocking auto redirects. And of course, there's plenty more. Say goodbye to the clear fix hack. Instead of manually resetting multiple layout properties like float and clear, you can now add a new block formatting context using display flow route. Pointer events dot get coalesced events allows you to access all input events since the last time a pointer event was delivered. Perfect for when you need a precise history of points for things like drawing apps. And workers and shared workers can be created using data URLs, making development with workers more secure by giving them an opaque origin. These are just a few of the changes in Chrome 58 for developers. Check the description for more details including links to the docs and specs. If you enjoyed this video, check out the new designer versus developer video series that tries to solve the challenges faced when designers and developers work together. Then click the subscribe button and you'll get an email notification whenever we launch a new video. I'm Pete LaPage and as soon as Chrome 59 is released, we write here to tell you what's new in Chrome.
