This is Vishwana Chavan, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Walton Institute of Technology, SolarPool. Now I am here to explain the super scalar pipeline design. Now at the end of this session, the students will be able to compare the parameters of different pipeline processors. So if we observe this table, now we will get the idea about the different parameters which are considered while designing the pipeline processors. So this is the scalar based machine of having k pipeline stages. Next one, super scalar machine which is of having degree m. Next super pipeline machine of degree n and the fourth one which is super pipeline super scalar machine of degree m, n. Now we will see all these four with respect to different parameters. First one, the machine pipeline cycle. So which is base cycle one in case of scalar base machine and here also it is one and in case of super scalar super pipeline machine which is of having degree n which is here it is one by n and here also it is one by n. The next point which is instruction issue rate. So that is one here. Here it is m. This one indicates that it issues one instruction per clock cycle and here it is m because it is having degree m. This is one. This is also m. So coming to next parameter instruction issue latency. So latency will remain one here in first two case and next it is one by n. Moving to next parameter, simple operational latency one and one in first two case. Next in third case it is one. So which is normally one into one by n which will lead one itself and this is also one. Next coming to ILP instruction level parallelism to fully utilize the pipeline which is one. Here it is m, next n and here it is m into n. So these are the different parameters. Now we will focus on the super scalar pipeline structure and data dependence. So first we will see the super scalar pipeline structure, how it looks and how it works. So this is a dual pipeline super scalar processor. So here we will find the four different stages like fetch stage, decode, execute and write back. And from this end the iCatch instruction catch which will fed the input to first stage which is fetch f1, f2, f3. Then after fetching the data from instruction catch it will forward to its next stage which is decoding stage. So respective fetch stage will forward to its next respective decode stage. Here decoding of the given instruction takes place. And after this the next stage is about execution. So here we will find the different operations like multiplication, adder, logic operations and load operation. So multiplication this unit is having three different units like m1, m2, m3. So multiplier is having three pipeline stages and adder is having two pipeline stages a1 and a2 and a logical one stage and load one stage. So all these stages they are working simultaneously because it is a pipeline. And the fourth stage which is stored or we call it as a write back. So which is having two stages s1 and s2. So which is going to receive the data from the execution stage. So each execution stage of respective instruction they will forward to either s1 or s2. So this is how the structure of superscalar processor and the look ahead window. So these F3 and D3 these two columns they see whether it is depending or not which is based on instruction dependency. So and hence it is called look ahead window. So this is the structure of superscalar processor. Now we will focus with one example. So this is a sample program and its dependency will be analyzed with the help of graph. So the instruction i1 is load r1 comma a. So here the data present in memory location a will be loaded into r1. The next instruction add r2 comma r1. So here the content of register r1 is added with register r2 and the result is stored in r2 itself. The next third instruction which is add r3 comma r4. Here the content of register r4 is added with the content of register r3 and result will be stored in r3 itself. Next fourth instruction mul r4 comma r5. Here the content of register r4 and r5 are multiplied and result is stored in r4. Next the compare r6. So it is going to compare with the value previous value r4 and result is stored in r6. Next i6 instruction mul multiplication between the content of register r6 and r7 is going to take place and the result will be stored in r6. So these are the six instructions they are working in this way. Now we will focus on the dependency, on the dependency. So if we observe the dependency say for example, first and second instruction. So here the content of memory location a will be loaded into r1 and this data is supposed to be input for next instruction. So this i2 is depending on i1 until and unless it writes into r1 it can't move ahead or else it will take wrong value. So it is depending on i1, i2 depending on i1 and hence this kind of dependency is called flow dependence. And if you observe another dependency here see here the instruction i3 which is add r3 comma r4 and next instruction which is i4 multiplication between r4 and r5. So if you observe this now it is depending. So your i4 is depending on i3 say if r3 content of r3 is supposed to add with r3 and result will be stored in r3. But here it is making use of this content for multiplication for multiplication. Here if we multiply this r4 into r5 now this data is supposed to read from r4. So this is how we say that it is depending on i3. This type of dependency is called anti-dependence. If it writes the multiplication result here before this then it will take wrong result. So these type of dependency is called anti-dependence. So moving to next which is i6 is depending on i4. Now here it is comparing after this it is going to multiply the result of r6 with r7. So here the flow is there flow dependency is there as well as the output dependency is there. So it cannot go ahead until and unless the output of r6 is available for multiplication. So output dependence and flow dependence and this type of dependency is called flow and output dependence. So all these three types of dependencies like flow dependence, anti-dependence and flow and output dependence they are shown in the diagram. We will see with a diagram. So before that now you answer for this question mention the four processing stages of superscalar pipeline. So pause this video and write the answer. I hope you answered the answer is fetch, decode, execute and store which is also called write back. Now this is the sample diagram which focuses on three different types of dependencies like flow dependence, how i2 depends on i1, next anti-dependence, how i4 depending on i3 and third one output dependence and also flow dependence where i6 is depending on i5. So these are the references. Thank you.


So let's talk about tonicity. Tonicity, if we're going to throw a definition into the mix, tonicity is how a cell responds when placed in a solution. And first of all, there are some things that you need to think about. Number one, here's Joe, Joe the cell, because you know, all cells are named Joe. Here's Joe's nucleus. This is Joe's cytoplasm. Tell me, what is the osmolarity of the cytoplasm? What is osmolarity again? It's concentration. It's just the concentration, and I can't actually remember if I told you this or not, but it's just the number of particles, the moles of particles in a solution, the number of liters. Did I tell you what molarity was? Because molarity was the moles of molecules. Osmolarity is the moles of particles, and I'll explain that in a second. The cytoplasm in your cell is not pure water, right?   It does not have an osmolarity of zero. In fact, it has an osmolarity of about 280 milli osmoles. You can commit that to your memory. I would also say 0.28 osmoles. I mean, either way is fine. I like milli osmoles because we tend to talk about things. I mean, 280 is an easier number to kind of throw around than 0.28. And we have ranges in physiology land. Different places, like your kidneys, we have a range from like 100 milli osmoles down to 1200 milli osmoles. And these places in your body stay at about 280 milli osmoles. And if you think about that, if a cell's cytoplasm has that concentration, you would expect the extracellular fluid to have that concentration. Because if it didn't, osmosis would happen, right? And we eventually are going to reach osmotic equilibrium, right?  Okay. Next question. The 280 milli osmoles indicates there are particles in your cytoplasm. Are they penetrating or non-penetrating? There has to be particles, right? Because the particles are the only way that we can have concentration, right? Because otherwise we'd have a concentration of zero. So there's got to be 280 milli osmoles of particles inside there. Yes, there are. Are they penetrating? The answer is no. All of those particles that are contributing to the 280 milli osmoles are non-penetrating and you can take it to the bank. It says penetrating. No, no penetrating. If they could penetrate the cell membrane, they would and they'd get out and they don't because they're non-penetrating. Does that work for you? So you can always assume that a cell has a concentration. It has stuff going on in there. Now, I'm going to give you a couple scenarios here. I've got three beakers going on. And I'm going to tell you, it's going to get more complicated than this, but of course it is. But I'm going to tell you that this situation has a concentration of 280 milli osmoles.  They're getting crazy. I'm going to tell you that these guys are non-penetrating. What would happen if they were penetrating?  I'm going to drop the cell in. I wish that I could just draw that cell in there, but just imagine it, that I just dropped that cell in there. It has a concentration in its cytoplasm of 280 milli osmoles. I dropped it in to a beaker with a concentration of 280 milli osmoles of non-penetrating particles. Are they the same particles that are in the cell itself? No doggies, green particles, red particles, not the same. However, the concentrations are the same and they're non-penetrating. So they can't go in. They would want to. If they could go in, half of them would go into that cell so that they were in equilibrium. If they could, half of these green particles would come out. Like, they would totally reach equilibrium in their own concentrations. In fact, this is a great analogy. Particles are like teenagers. They only care about themselves. This set of particles is not going to care about the particles in here. They, like whatever, who cares? Nobody cares about those. They're only going to care about particles that are like them. They're going to reach equilibrium if diffusion is happening. Does that work? But if we drop in the cell into these non-penetrating particles, what's going to happen? Is water going to move? No. There's going to be no movement of water. Do you agree with that? The concentrations are the same so this is actually an isotonic solution. There's no change in that cell.  Sometimes your cells swell. If they get put into a hypotonic solution, they're going to swell. And I'm going to write that down even though I haven't given you the scenario yet. A hypotonic, a hypotonic solution, is any solution, I don't care what it is, any solution that is going to cause that cell to swell. So give me a scenario, like what's it going to look like? What kind of solution could I drop this cell into and have water go into the cell? How about a solution with, let's say, what's a concentration of maybe 100 milliosmoles? If the concentration here is 100 milliosmoles, it's a lower concentration, right? And the water, particles can't move. They're still non-penetrating. The water is going to have to go into the cell if we want to try and equalize concentrations. If we want to reach osmotic equilibrium, water is going to go into the cell. If water goes into the cell, what's the cell going to do? Swell. Oh. That was some swelling. All right, that works. Because we still had non-penetrating particles, but what happens if holy o-dector, holy days of particles? I cannot do this for the whole thing, okay? Because, well, I could, but do you really want to sit and watch me do this all day long? I feel like this lecture has been 8 billion years long, but you're happy that it's long because these concepts, particularly the osmosis one, are tricky. And aren't you glad that I am filling this in? Oh, you know what? This is actually getting bad because I could do the whole thing. How are you feeling right now? Are you like, dude, rigs? Put a lid on it. Okay, I will. How about if we say that this was 400 milliozmols and I filled up the whole thing, okay? Because you guys kept yelling at me so I couldn't really fill up the whole thing. Drop your cell in there. What's going to happen? We're super concentrated. We want osmotic equilibrium. How are we going to get it? Do you agree that it's less concentrated in here? So in order to try and reach equilibrium, the only thing that can happen is that water has to leave the cell. Does that work? Water will leave, which will make the inside of the cell more concentrated, which will try to dilute the outside of the cell with each osmotic equilibrium. That, my friends, is what kind of a solution. That would be our very well-known hypertonic solution.  No, hypotonic solutions, no matter what the solution is or how it does it, if the cell swells because water rushes into it, then it is a hypotonic solution. No matter concentrations or irrelevant, all that matters is what happens to the cell. In osmolarity, we can actually... Okay, I'm going to do it. We can actually label osmolarities, this cell compared to this solution. This cell is iso-osmotic, isosmotic to this solution. This cell is hyper-osmotic to this solution. Do you totally agree with this? This cell is hypo-osmotic to this solution, right? You're totally cool with that because all we're doing is comparing concentrations. What happens to the cell when we drop it in the solution? That's going to determine tonicity. Drop the cell in the solution. If the cell shrinks, it's hypotonic. I'm going to throw some examples at you in class that will challenge this because what I'm telling you is that everything changes if you have penetrating particles. Your tonicity changes if the particles can penetrate. What you think would be the case is no longer the case if particles can penetrate. So think on that. I've got about enough of this talking to myself in my office at this hour of the evening. So therefore, I'm done. And you are going to study osmosis more and more and more. All right, talk to you later.


All right, it's the top of the hour. I'm gonna go ahead and get started. So welcome everybody to the UX Functional Group Update. April 2nd, just missed April Fool's Day by one day. So today I'm gonna go over the results of our quarter one OKRs, talk a little bit about EPICS and then spend a couple of seconds on hiring. So for our Q1 OKRs, first one I'll talk about is the reduced the installation time of DevOps for Kubernetes by 50%. Very ambitious goal. And the goal here was to go through the flow of installation and look for ways that we could streamline it and make it as easy as possible for even a very beginner to do. So from the outset, what we did was we put together a demo with Mark Punzak to kind of understand what that flow looks like. And in doing that flow, we realized that there were a lot more problems with it than we had anticipated. Initially we thought what we would do would be to do a demo, then start doing some testing with users, come up with some quick wins, how to make it more streamlined, implement those, then do more testing. And what we saw in that demo with Mark was that unless you were an expert, it was going to be very difficult for you to get through that demo. It would have been frustrating for our testers and it would have probably been very expensive because the test itself with Mark took probably an hour and a half. So what we did was we took that demo and we started working through everything we saw in that demo that could be improved. We came up with issues, both short-term and long-term and we started pushing those forward. We worked really close with both Mark and Fabio on that. Unfortunately, we only made it, my estimation is about 33%, not the most scientific estimation due to the fact that we could not retest. So that 33% is all the effort we put into the demo, the research, the creation of issues and the UX ready issues that we have. So I think the accomplishments there were getting that initial demo to really understand what wasn't working, identifying those short-term, long-term improvements and then creating a roadmap. And we do have a pretty good roadmap. We know what it looks like to make this better. The challenges that we had were that unfortunately our OKRs were not solidified until just about the 22nd of January. So we missed two scheduling for releases. So it was kind of impossible for us to get those improvements into an actual milestone. And of course, the demo was so broken that it was difficult to actually do the user testing that we thought we were going to do. And of course, those issues were spread out over three releases. So we are gonna carry this on into Q2. We've done a lot of work here. And I think that as we start to see those come through, we'll kind of get a snowball effect where those improvements will just add one upon the other and improve that flow completely. Did a little bit better with our design pattern library. So the pattern library is setting our usability standards. So it's not about documenting colors and typography. Well, that's part of it. The bigger idea here is to establish patterns that we know we can use when certain problems come up. So that's when do we use a modal? When do we use a button? When do we use forms? What kind of forms do we use? When do we use tabs versus a filter or sort? Those kinds of things. We made it 64% of the way through. We got all the leftover patterns from phase one documented and every issue in phase two is either completed or in final review. So it will be done in 10-8. Just missed the deadline. Challenges that we had, sketch files are binary files. So you cannot really work with them in a Git workflow. There's no way to branch and then merge. So reviews took a really long time. As one designer was reviewing, other designers were working in the file and updating. So everything has to be manually merged. It just makes it take a lot longer. We're also doing hiring, which really slowed us down and we focused on hiring deliverables and then the OKRs that pertain to Kubernetes and operations engineers. So our own issues took a little bit of hit in that. And then we did really well on our established operations engineers as a first class citizen. I'm really proud of the work that Sarah and Catherine did here. The goal here was to understand who operations DevOps engineers are. What are their challenges? What are the common tasks? What is it that they're looking for in the tool that we can provide? And they did an excellent job. You can actually link to the report that they produced from that research and they are in the middle of just finalizing the user interviews that they've done, as well as laying out what that roadmap looks like. So the work here was really, really well done. I think Bill Duncan, I think your mic is on. You're not muted. I'm hearing a lot of noise in my ear. It's the only person I can see without a mute. So sorry to call you out, but it's really distracting. When you're trying to concentrate on what you're saying. So really happy with that. I do encourage everyone to take a look at that report. There's some really interesting information there. And then, again, our own UX issues got pushed aside a little bit. We got to 63% on our design.gitlab. The goal of design.gitlab is to take all of those patterns and make them publicly available for not just our designers, but really the goal here is to be more front end product facing with this. We know what our design patterns are. We have them all in our sketch documents. Those need to be something that are searchable by the rest of the company so that we are not a bottleneck for coming up with good solutions and being consistent. So the good things that happened with this were able to update and record all the standards that are already in the current guide. So we're not missing any of that. And we've actually added a lot of patterns that we're not currently recorded. If you go to the handbook to our UX guide, which I will add a link on this slide to our old guide so that you have some context, there's a lot of stuff that's updated there. Again, the challenges were increased volume of deliverables. We had a lot of dependencies on front end for review and assistance and some aspects of that code base. And I would say that there was definitely some poor time management on our part. I think what we learned from that experience is that set incremental deadlines for these issues. It keeps them a little bit more at the forefront. It makes it harder to focus on milestone deliverables over the deliverables that we really need to accomplish for ourselves. So definitely a good lesson learned there. We also had a goal to write three public blog posts and we accomplished that. There's a link to each of the blog posts here if you're interested in reading. So those are our Q1 OKRs. We're still, I believe, finalizing Q2. So I'll talk about those in our next FGU. Another big thing that we've been working on alongside product is defining EPICS for a set of issues so that both front end, well, not both, all three back end, front end, and UX can take a look at these EPICS, understand what product is trying to achieve, and make sure that we can help them achieve that. And this is a process that is ongoing. We're just starting it now. So there's a lot of bugs to work out. But the goal here is to have front end, back end, and UX take a look at these issues, give feedback, anything that's missing, requirements documentation, challenges that we see, make sure that there's been scope for UX discovery allotted. So that UX has time to actually look at these issues and provide valuable input. So that is a big push that we're going through right now. You can read about it in the handbook. And if you're curious about how we're doing this, you can always send me a chat message and can talk to a little bit more about it. I've actually created a spreadsheet to kind of document what I'm looking for and how I'm going through each of those issues. And lastly, for hiring, we have a new UX designer starting April 16. I didn't put a link to their information because we don't want to make that public until they actually start. But I will definitely introduce them next time around. And we will be looking to hire another UX designer in Q2. So if you know any awesome UX designers that we just love to come and work at GetLab, please let me know. We're definitely interested in hiring someone soon. So with that, any questions? I know it's kind of a light day today with the holidays and everything. I will, you know, absolutely, definitely. Yeah. Yeah, we don't have it up officially yet. It should be this week. So I'll make sure that I share that tweet. Hey, Sarah, something else. What are you most excited about the things that you've been working on with your team? Well, I think the most exciting thing is actually the operations results that we got. I think that we've really been making this huge push to do an operations dashboard, complete DevOps. And in having a clearer picture, some of the things that we found in that report were actually really surprising to us. They were unexpected. And I feel like we have a lot of good insights into how to really make this valuable for operations. So I'm really excited about that. We'll be working on the dashboard alongside CICD. And then there's some other stuff we're doing with Platform, which is pretty exciting in that area. What was unexpected? I think there was this idea that a lot of operations engineers were very focused. They were specialized. And what we found was that's not the case at all. A lot of them are wearing many, many hats. A lot of them are full stack developers that have kind of been roped into becoming an operations engineer and handling that for the company, which once I thought about my own experiences in past companies that wasn't very surprising at all, especially in startups or small to mid-sized companies. You're more likely to have people that are generalists rather than specialists. So I think that's something to take into account when we're putting this together. Hey, Sarah, what are your takeaways from the operations work? I read the doc. I think one thing that stands out is that people want a single place. And I think Data Doc calls this the trifacta of metrics, tracing, and logs. Like one place where you can find all three, preferably with a link to the application. And the other thing was, I think, two factor for approvals. I didn't quite get that because we have two factor and we have approvals. But how would you summarize the results? That's a tough one, Sid. Put me on the spot. Summarize the results of a very long report. A fool can ask more questions than 10 vice people can ask. So I think what might take away from that is that we definitely do need to create one space. I think what we've been doing is really creating different areas of interest for operations engineers. But we have not brought that into one place where they can come and get everything they need without having to bounce around without having to really connect the docs. So I think that that's gonna be a big focus, especially with this operations health dashboard that we're doing. And I think that what we really need to do now is identify the metrics that should be included. I think some of that's gonna be in those user interview follow-ups. That report, again, will be done this week. Now give us some more insight into those metrics. And I think that what's exciting to me about it too, that I take away is that there's this deep need for it. Everyone was excited about it. Everyone was like, yes, we're so glad that you're doing this. This is the tool that we need. And they were excited to be part of the talk about it. So just getting that really detailed feedback about who they are, what they're looking for, and the fact that they're hungry for it, really I think puts us in a great position. I see there's some questions here in the chat. So do you have time for DevOps? Is that auto DevOps? Yeah, wait a minute. So that has to do with the, and that is really confusing because there's a lot of different pieces to that. So I can understand that question. So what we focused on because there are so many different pieces is that flow of the auto DevOps with Kubernetes. So what does it look like if you're setting that up with Kubernetes? And that was the focus of that particular demo. If you haven't watched the demo, I really suggest that you do, and there's a lot of really good follow-up kind of summarization of what we found in there to be helpful moving forward. Then there was another question. Documentation, is there documentation on the UI component templates that is published? If internal projects for planning metrics would be awesome to reuse GitLab UI for graphs. Yeah, so that's something that we're working on. I believe right now we're actually in the process of working with Josh in monitoring on graphs and determining which graphing and churning plugins or systems that we're going to use and then how we're going to design within those constraints. So I would say that no, we don't have those yet for graphs, but if there's other areas that you're interested in, shoot me a message and I'm happy to walk you through what we have and where there's some gaps. You may actually have some insight into something we're missing, so I'd love to talk more about that. Any other questions? Great questions today, thank you. I don't normally get questions, so I'm really excited. All right, I want to count down. Four, three, two. Yes, Sarah, I have another one. What is one of them? Is there anything in terms of UX that has been worked on in terms of changes in GitLab that you're looking for to see being actually released into the product? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, I'm super excited about, and I think this was touched on in the last FGU. I was away and Pedro did the last Functional Group update for me, but we are redesigning our discussion tab for both issues and merge requests. We've had a lot of people say that it's overwhelming, that it feels very difficult for them to parse through who's saying what. There's a lot of activity mixed in with comments, and so we really focused in on how we could improve that, and it's actually in several different issues. One is through having the ability to see only comments or see only activity or see a combination of both. That is an issue that's still in flight, so we don't have a 100% definitive answer on that, but we're working on it right now. And then the other is an actual redesign of the comments and the way they're structured to make it, give a better visual hierarchy so that when you're scanning down, it's really easy to see that flow of conversation. So I'm really excited for that. That's coming out in 11, so. That's great, sir, thanks. I have another question, and this is the last one I promise. What can we do as non-UXers do to work together better with the UX team? Oh man, that's a loaded question because my answer is talk to us more, but then that's gonna create even more work, but bring it on. I think that everybody here has some understanding of user experience. We're all users, we're all using GitLab, we're all using other applications, and I think it's really important to note that everybody's opinion matters, and while we have domain expertise and we have education and a background in doing this, it's really good to have those conversations with actual users and see things from a different perspective. And we do that a lot with our user research, but it's something that I'd love to do even more with the people here at the company and just get more feedback from them on what we can do. Exactly, and Tori says in the chat, communication, just talk to us, ping us in issues, send us chat messages, set up coffee chats. I would be more than happy to sit in a coffee chat and let you covech to me about everything that bothers you. I will write it all down and see what we can do. It's a dangerous proposition for me, but I'm really more than happy to do it. Thanks, Sarah. Awesome, thanks, Yobe. I really appreciate the awesome questions said Yobe, William, and Mac. It was really great to have some questions today. So with that, I think I'm gonna let everybody go, and I will see you in the team call. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that a sum lent on compound interest becomes $4,220 in two years and $4,642 in three years. Find the sum. Simple interest is equal to P into R into T upon 100 where P is equal to the principal, R is equal to the rate of interest, T is equal to time. Also by the compound interest formula amount A is equal to P into 1 plus R upon 100 raised to power N. With this key idea let us proceed with the solution. According to the question we have to find the sum of money that is lent on compound interest which becomes $4,220 in two years and $4,642 in three years. So the amount given in three years is equal to $4,642 and the amount in two years is equal to $4,220. As we know the interest will be the difference in the amounts for two consecutive years. So interest for third year is equal to $4,642 minus $4,220 which is equal to $422. Since the amount for a particular year is the principal for next year therefore amount for two years is equal to principal for the third year which implies principal for third year is equal to $4,220 and the interest for third year is equal to $422. As we know simple interest is equal to P into R into T upon 100 therefore $422 is equal to $4,220 into R into 1 upon 100 where R is equal to the rate of interest per annum which we have to find. So this implies R is equal to $422 into 10 upon 422 which is equal to 10. So R is equal to 10% per annum. Now as we know amount A is equal to P into 1 plus R upon 100 raise to power N therefore $4,220 is equal to P into 1 plus 10 upon 100 raise to power 2 where $4,220 is the amount after two years 10% per annum is the rate of interest P is equal to the principal or the sum of money lent which we have to find. So $4,220 is equal to P into 1 plus 1 by 10 raise to power 2 which can be written as $4,220 is equal to P into 10 plus 1 upon 10 raise to power 2 which is equal to P into 11 upon 10 raise to power 2. This implies $4,220 is equal to P into 11 by 10 into 11 by 10 which implies P is equal to $4,220 into 10 into 10 upon 11 into 11 which implies P is equal to $4,220 into 100 upon 121 which implies P is equal to $3,487.60. Hence the sum of money lent is equal to $3,487.60 which is our answer. This completes our session hope you enjoyed the session.


فشرف بالشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشهد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد سلاي إن شاء الله وإتعالى أريد أن أشهر أفضل معكم هذه أفضل that I will share with you إن شاء الله وإتعالى it has a very powerful meaning to it and it really makes us understand and come to know why the companions of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم they elevated in this world and they also got a high rank and a high position in the day of judgment my brothers and sisters it's important that we understand that we understand these individuals and their lives and their biography and that we study it and that we imitate them we copy them because wallahi they earned success in this world مشارقة الأرض ومغاربها the earth, the east and the west الله gave it to them مفاتح الدنيا the keys of this world they received it and in the day of judgment الله سبحانه وتعالى he already told them رضي الله عنهم ورضو عن Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah الله سبحانه وتعالى made us a people who follow them and that by following them Allah is also pleased with us as he said اولون من المهاجرين والانصار والذين اتبعوهم بإحسان راضي الله عنهم ورضو عن by us following the companions and taking their path we will receive Allah سبحانه وتعالى being pleased with us سبحانه وتعالى here is a story ونعمر رضي الله تعالى عنه became the khilafa or the khalifa ونعمر أبو بكر sorry ونعمر أبو بكر الشديق رضي الله تعالى عنه he became the khalifa خليفة المسلمين and he was the khalifa رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the success after the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم عمر who was a man in virtue and he status after أبو بكر عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه was living in Medina with أبو بكر so أبو بكر came to عمر and he placed him عينه قاضيا على المدينة عمر was elected أبو بكر elected عمر to become the judge and the qazi in Medina فما كث عمر وسنة عمر stayed for one year as a qazi as a judge عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه he stayed as a judge for a year and it was said لم يفتح مجلسة he did not open a gathering meaning there was no disputes that came to his table for a year عمر رضي الله عنه did not deal with any case for that whole year ولم يختصم إليه الثلان not two people did not come and they did not argue in his courtroom so what عمر رضي الله عنه did was he came to أبو بكر فطالة من أبي بكر إعفاءه من القضاء he said release this responsibility I don't want to be a qazi anymore I don't want to be a judge فقال له أبو بكر أبو بكر ست عمر أبو بكر سته برد عمر أم من مشقة القضائي تطلبوا الإعفاء يا عمر is it because of the burdens and the responsibility that comes with judging is that why you want for me to release this responsibility of your shoulders is this why you want to be free from it is that the reason فقال لا يا خليفة رسول الله عمر replied to his older brother he said to him أبو بكر لا the خليفة رسول الله the successor after the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم now listen to the statement that عمر is going to put forward and look at what عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه says that is not the reason why I want you to release this responsibility of me يا خليفة رسول الله ولكن but لا حاجة لي عند قوم المؤمنين but the reality is I have no need or there is no need for me in the existence and the presence of a group of believers me being there as a judge there is no need for me عرف كل منهم each and every one of those believers he has recognized ماله من حق each and every one of them he has realized his rights فلم يطلب أكثر من who he has not requested for more than it each and every one of them those believers that you have placed me as a judge over them each and every one of them has come to understand his rights and he hasn't asked for more than it وما عليه من واجب and he has come to know that which is obligatory on him and that which he has to do فلم يقصر في أدائي and he hasn't come short in fulfilling that responsibility in fulfilling that obligation أحب كل منهم each and every one of them love لأخي for their brother ووَ DWIBAWLINAHFSI that which they love for themselves each and every one of them he loves for him اهدوم تفقدوه if one of them is absent from them and they don't see him for a couple of days they look for him ويذا مرض عادوه if he's sick and he's ill they visit him ويضفتقر أعانوه if he's in need يترى case and they support him وإذ حتاجه ساعده إنه هكذا يParty they aid him and they support him وإذا اصeiba وإذا يف 것ه مجددا ولن يخل留 هو خلال دينهم النصيحةه의 جنوبة يتبقى على نصيحة دينهم النصيحة حيث مجنوبة يتبقى على نصيحة وخلوقهم الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر ومشاركة ومشاركة جيدة ومشاركة العيوة ففي ما يختصمون ففي ما يختصمون why would they dispute why would they need a judge why would they dispute amongst themselves these are the people you've placed over me or Abu Bakr and this is why Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه he wanted this responsibility to be taken from him when I read this it gave me an understanding of why Allah سبحانه وتعالى elected these companions and selected them to be the ambassadors of Islam for them to be those who saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم only that anyone who studies the science of hadith the knowledge of hadith will know that if a companion was very young he was extremely young pay attention to this this is the value and the status of the companions that if a companion was extremely young his narration would then be considered like the narration of what if he's very young and he wasn't at the age of Tamiz the age where he can distinguish between things he was extremely young a little baby maybe in the his mom was breastfeeding him or he was a one-year-old or two-year-old what do scholars of hadith say is because he still has an honor you know why because his eyes saw the Prophet so what would they say they will say صحابي يوم برؤية he's a companion by the seeing تابعي يوم في الريواية but he's a تابعي in his narration because this looking at the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام your eyes seeing the Prophet whether you understand him whether you know that itself it's a virtue and that's what Allah chose these individuals and this is their character and their personality and until a nation a people turn out to be like this and they become like this success and prosperity don't wait for them don't wait for them success or prosperity we need to understand the importance the importance of following the footsteps of these companions so we can gain that which they also gained رضي الله تعالى عنهم anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect فإنه مني ومن الشيطان والله ورسوله بريئان منه الله and his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدوا الله إله إلا الله أستغفرواك وأتوبوا إليه


TheCube presents KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2022, brought to you by Red Hat, the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Welcome to Valencia, Spain. In KubeCon, CloudNativeCon Europe 2022, I'm Keith Townsend and we're continuing the conversations with amazing people doing amazing things. I think we've moved beyond a certain phase of the hype cycle when it comes to Kubernetes and we're going to go a little bit in detail with that today. On all the sessions, I have today with me, Taylor Doazelle, new head of CNCF ecosystem. So first off, what does that mean new head of, you're the head of CNCF ecosystem? What is the CNCF ecosystem? Yeah, yeah, so the, it's really the end user ecosystem. So the CNCF is comprised of really three pillars and there's the governing board, they oversee the budget and fun things, you know, make sure everything's signed and proper. Then there's the technical oversight committee, TOC, and they really help decide the technical direction of the organization through deliberation and talking about which projects get invited and accepted, you know, projects get donated and the TOC votes on who's going to make it in based on all this criteria. And then lastly is the end user ecosystem that encompasses a whole bunch of different working groups, special interest groups, and that's been really interesting to kind of, you know, get a deeper sense into as of late. So there are groups like the developer experience group and the user research group and those have very specific focuses that kind of go across all industries, but what we've seen lately is that there are really deep wants to create, you know, whether it be a financial services user group and things like that, because end users are having trouble with going to all of the different meetings. If you're a company, a vendor member company that's selling authentication software or something in networking makes sense to have a SIG network, SIG auth and those kinds of things. But when it comes down to, you know, like Boeing that just joined, does that make sense for them to jump into all those meetings or does it make sense to have some other kind of thing that is representative of them so that they can attend that one thing that's specific to their industry, they can get that download and kind of come up to speed or find the best practices as quickly as possible in a nice synthesized way. So you're 10 weeks into this role, you're coming from a customer environment. So talk to me a little bit about the customer side of it. When you're looking at something that's, it's odd to call CNCF massive, but it is 7.1 million members and the number of contributing projects, et cetera. Talk to me about the view from the outside versus the view now that you're inside. Yeah, so honestly, it's been fun to kind of, for me it's really mirrored the open source journey. You know, you start to, I've gone to KubeCon before, gotten to enjoy all of the booths and trying to understand what's going on and then worked for HashiCorp before coming to the CNCF and so get that vendor member kind of experience working the booth itself, so kind of getting deeper and deeper into the stack of the conference itself. And I keep saying vendor member and end user members, what the difference between those is end users are not organizations that sell cloud native services and those are the groups that are kind of more consuming. The Airbnb is the Boeing's, the Mercedes, these people that use these technologies and want to kind of give that feedback back to these projects. So, but yeah, very incredibly massive and just sprawling when it comes to working in all those contexts. So I have so many questions around like the differences between having you as an end user and interoperating with vendors and the CNCF itself. So let's start from the end user lens. When you're an end user and you're out discovering open source and cloud native products, what's that journey? Like how do you go from saying, okay, I'm primarily focused on vendor solutions to, let me look at this cloud native stack. Yeah, so really with that, there's been, I think that a lot of people have started to work with me and ask for, can we have recommended architectures? Can we have blueprints for how to do these things? And when the CNCF doesn't want to take that position, we don't want to kind of be the king maker and be like, this is the only way forward. We want to be inclusive. We want to pull in these projects and kind of give everyone the same bootstrap and jump and just like jump, I'm missing the word, but just ability to kind of like springboard off of that, create a nice base for everybody to get started with and then see what works out, learn from one another. I think that when it comes to Kubernetes and Prometheus and some other projects, being able to share best practices between those groups of what works best as well. So within all of the separations of the CNCF, I think that it's been, that's something I've found really fun is kind of like seeing how the projects relate to those verticals and those groups as well. I guess how you run a project might actually have a really good play inside of an organization. Like, oh, I like that idea. Let's try that out with our team. So I like this idea of springboarding.  There's a lot of uncertainty, but for an enterprise that can be really scary.  What is that experience like springboarding off into something as massive as cloud native? So I think that it's really, it's a great question. I think that it's, so I think that's why the CNCF works so well is the fact that it's a safe place for all these companies to come together, even companies of competing products. You know, having that common vision of we want to make production boring again. We don't want to have so much sprawling, have to take in so much knowledge at once. Can we kind of work together to create all these things to get rid of our administrative or maintenance tasks? I think that when it comes to open source in general, there's a fantastic book. It's called Working in Public. It's by Stripe Press. I recommend it all over the place. It's orange, so you'll recognize it. Yeah, it's easy to see. But it's really good because it talks about the maintainer's journey and what things make it difficult. And so I think that that's what the CNCF is really working hard to try to get rid of is all this, you know, all these monotonous things, filing issues, best practices. How do you adopt open source within your organization? We have tips and tricks and kind of playbooks in ways that you could accomplish that. So that's what I find really useful for those kinds of situations. Then it becomes easier to adopt that within your organization. So I asked Priyanka, CNCF executive director last night, a pretty tough question. And this is kind of in the meat of what you do. What happens when, you know, let's pick on service mesh because everyone likes to pick on service mesh. What happens when there's differences at that vendor level on the direction of a CIG or a project or, you know, the ecosystem around service mesh? Yeah, so that's the fun part, honestly, because people get to hash it out. And so I think that's been the biggest thing for me finding out was that there's more than one way to do thing. And so I think it always comes down to use case. What are you trying to do? And then you get to solve after that. So it really is, I know it's like, it depends which is the worst answer. But I really do think that's the case because, you know, if you have people that are using something within the automotive space or in the financial services space, they're going to have completely different needs once. You know, some might need to run cobalt or Fortran, others might not have to, you know. So even at that level, just down to what your tech stack looks like, audits and those kinds of things that can just really differ. So I think it does come down to something more like that. So the CNCF loosely has become kind of a standards body and it's centered around the core project Kubernetes. So what does it mean when we're looking at larger segments such as service mesh or observability, et cetera, to be Kubernetes compliant? Like where's the point if any that the CNCF steps in versus just letting everyone hash it out? Like is it Kubernetes, you just need to be Kubernetes compliant and everything else is free for all? It's honestly, in many cases, it's up to the communities themselves to decide that. So the groups that are running OCI, the open container interface, open storage interface, all of those things that we've agreed on as ways to implement those technologies. That's where, I think that's where the CNCF, that's the line, that's where the CNCF gets up to and then it's like we help foster those communities and those conversations and asking, does this work for you? If not, let's talk about it, let's figure out why it might not and then really working closely with the community to kind of help bring those things forward and create action items. So it's all about putting the right people in the rooms and not necessarily playing referee, but to get people in the right room to have and facilitate the conversation? Absolutely, absolutely. Like all of the booths behind us could have their own conferences, but we want to bring everybody together to have those conversations. And again, sprawling can be really wild at certain times, but it's good to have those cross understandings or to hear from somebody that you're like, oh my goodness, I didn't even think about that kind of context or use case. So really inclusive conversation. So organizations like Boeing, Adobe, Microsoft, from an end user perspective, it's sometimes difficult to get those organizations into these types of communities. How do you encourage them to participate in the conversation? Because their voice is extremely important. Yeah, at that, I'd also say it really is the community. I mean, I really liked the Kubernetes documentary that was put out, they're working with some of the CNCF folks and core and beginning Kubernetes contributors and maintainers, and it just kind of blew me away when they had said what we thought was success was seeing Kubernetes in an Amazon data center. That's when we knew that this was going to take root. So, and you'd rarely hear that, it's like, oh, when somebody that we typically compete with, it's success is seeing them use that. And so I thought that was really cool. You know, I like to use this technology for my community of skipping rope. You see the girls and boys jumping, double dutch, rope, and you think, I can do that, like it's just jumping, but there's just, you know, hesitation to actually, how do you start? How do you get inside of it? The question is, how do you become a member of the community? We've talked a lot about what happens when you're in the community, but how do you join the community? So really there's a whole bunch of ways that you can. Actually, the shirt that I'm wearing, I got from the 114 release. This is just a fun example of that community and just kind of how welcoming and inviting that they are. Really, I do think it's kind of like a job breaker almost. You start at the outside, you start using these technologies, even more generally, like what is DevOps? What is production? How do I get the infrastructure, architecture or software engineering? Once you start there, you start working your way in, you develop a stack, and then you start to see these tools, technologies, workflows. And then after you've kind of gotten a good amount of time spent with it, you might really enjoy it like that and then want to help contribute. Like, oh, I like this, but it would be great to have a function that did this or I want a feature that does that. At that point in time, you can either take a look at the source code on GitHub or wherever it's hosted and then start to kind of come up with some ideas to contribute back to that. And then beyond that, you can actually say, no, I kind of want to have these conversations with people, join in those special interest groups and those meetings to kind of talk about things. And then after a while, you can kind of find yourself in a contributor role and then a maintainer role. After that, if you like really like the project and want to kind of work with the community on that front. So I think you would ask before, you know, like Microsoft, Adobe and these others, really it's about steering the projects. It's these communities want these things and then these companies say, oh, okay, this is great. Let's join in the conversation with the community and together, again, inclusivity and bringing everybody to the table to have that discussion and push things forward. So Taylor closing message, what would you want people watching this show to get when they think about ecosystem and CNCF? So ecosystem, it's a big place. Come on in. The water's just fine. I really want people to take away the fact that, I think really when it comes down to, it really is the community.  We're the people that build the tools and we need help no matter how big or small. When you come in and join the community, you don't have to rewrite the Kubernetes scheduler. You can help make documentation that much more easy to understand and then doing so helping thousands of people. You know, if I'm going through the instructions or reading a paragraph, it doesn't make sense. That has such a profound impact. I think a lot of people miss that. It's like even just changing punctuation can have such a giant difference. Yeah, I think people sometimes forget that community, especially community-run projects, they need product managers, they need people that would help with communications, people that help with messaging, websites updating, just reachability. Anywhere from developing code to developing documentation, there's ways to jump in and help the community. From Valencia, Spain, I'm Keith Townsend and you're watching The Cube, the leader in high-tech coverage.


So the next guest we have is not, she's not so new to Isaki, she's been here before but now she's launching her new song Mola and we want to get a feel of it and how the song has been so far. Nimo? Yes. Welcome. Thank you, thank you. You're looking lovely. Oh thank you, we'll try, we'll try. No, that is not fine, that is actually doing it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So like I said, you're here to launch your new song Mola. Yeah, yeah, Mola, an amazing project. Yeah, so yeah, what do you want me to talk about it? Before Mola, you launched Mola. You did the Mola Challenge. So tell us about Mola Challenge. So I did Mola Challenge, which was basically I was asking gospel ministers and gospel artists and the personalities, what's the worst thing you've ever been told about your ministry and how did your faith in God help you? Hey, it's nice to see you. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's nice to see you.  I think God didn't tell me that you were a member. Yeah, I was stolen. I was just coming. So he had stolen some, I see a song or something of the sort. That's what he said and we just had different people, different personality, seeing their struggles. But then I just didn't want it to end there. I wanted them to tell me how did your faith in God, because now you are a believer. Your faith in God helped you and his word helped you get over it. They gave me such encouraging stories. You know, as artists we really go through a lot. Even you guys, because they also was checking out the media personalities, they go through a lot. And I created a podium where you tell us that, but not mentioning names because you still want to be peace. Yeah, but we want that. I know you want that. I didn't want to tell the Jews. But me and the Jews. But now since I'm a Jew, I've been doing that. So I have to be at peace with everyone. So I was like, no names. But also just tell us how you got encouraged. I don't want to encourage you to say, because you can say whatever you were told this and then you can say, maybe the ways you can make it, the ways you can present it. And then you are here. Racheke in a encouraged way. So I just wanted to encourage people. And we still are... It's still going on. Yeah, it's still going on. So was this challenge in preparation to you dropping the song? Yeah, yeah. You know, as much as I am in an industry, I'm a minister. So I ask, okay, I'm like, okay, the story is good. So I just wanted to ask that. So I feel like it just got the prompted me to ask that. And by the way, it has become... It became a thing by itself in that part of the artist and the big personalities are like anyway, I'm in the interview, I'm in the interview, I'm in the story. So yeah, it was in preparation for this song. So it's you going to this artist and asking them questions? Yeah. It is me. There is someone who sent me hers, Kalwira, Laura. Yes. You can still send me or you can come to me. You can still send me or come to me because you see it's a podium that I just want you to encourage people but also say your stuff, say your truth. But sometimes also, people are told things and they don't speak their truth. No. Because they're like, yeah, I certainly judge, we find in Iliyem Boevi, people just babble me wrongly and maybe when I leave, even if I say I'm a huge sauna. So people are just speaking their truth. But mostly they come to me. Right now, they actually, most of them are coming to me. They're like, I need to speak out. There are a lot of things they want to vent about. But they just don't get a platform to vent. I didn't even know that.  Yes. Where will you vent? Where? You know, if you're serious, you have to go through that. At first, they don't believe you. They don't believe you. Yeah. When you're like, it's not possible. You know, and I felt it was such a good platform for us to bring into the industry, especially with whatever is going on in the gospel, on the gospel side, it's just a good platform where Bunga, Batra, Trambia, when you go there, you get the idea. Yes. So what's in your challenge? Yeah. What was that thing in your work that you came to about your music and your ministry? Wow. Me first of all, when I was going to the Yandem before my music, I have always served in church. So the time I said I want to release music, that is in 2016-2017. They asked me how to do it. They asked me how to do it. I mean, what have you still after today? I just don't get it. I think it's a thing they tell people, like, oh, how to do it. I know, right? You're like, when? Am I supposed to dress in a particular way? In a particular way, do something? Are you supposed to sing in a particular way? Yeah. We are proving them wrong. Yeah, we'll prove them wrong. Amen to that. Amen to that. They told me, I was already like, oh, how to do it. I'm like, wow, I've served to the top of my Giman comes to worship preaching. But then they asked me how to do it. I said, how to do it. How to do it. How to do it. How to do it. Until 2016-2017, they asked me how to do it. I said, how to do it. They asked me how to do it. After that, they told me didn't know how to do it, I integrate with the people who I knew. They called me how to do it. Then I said, how to do it. God has played that trick to prove it. So I thought $ teachings on Gimba taught me how to do it. know and people who are also minister like me I I choose not to to mention the the nitty gritties but they were just other than the name you don't want to mention I would if you think I I could have placed a Bible in a Bible bus in a manga try as much as you can to live at peace with one another so I have I'm trying to live at peace with everyone okay but they said really bad things you know but me God me after that I learned to love people but trust God I just love people I love you the way you are but when it comes to trusting God it's a truth juicy for the juicy stories yeah yeah but but that and who's like our God you know I release me very very and now we have Mola yeah so all those songs have been mastered by apart from Mola I've been mastered by magic my yeah video production done by Bantu and the lead guitarist is the same person but for Mola it's different why go that different direction Wow first of all let me pick up magic because he's just like a dog and God bless you magic God bless you Jesus is done for Bantu yeah he's such a good videographer it is ridiculous he's very talented so pick up to him why did I do that as I was leading a South African producer came into the country and there are all the big shots because there's someone who is from that side of theirs that had seen me serving in church and I said I want to meet that girl I've been told about because I'm looking for the gifted not the talented so we're saying that you're gifted most of all you're gifted I didn't know first of all like when God was shocking you and your team I love when you're gifted not only a little but you're also gifted I love when I'm saying international you're like what? at first me I was shocked because I used to stoke this person it's called Taz Goyemi I'm like what is such a shock I can't go in he came he was like he listened to me I told him I'm actually going through a harsh one so are you sure you still want to work with me it's like yeah yeah but he didn't have the tools he was in Dar es Salaam he was doing an album for Paul Clement and a few big artists that were there so he told me come to Dar es Salaam let's do it together even I'll hook you up with Paul Clement because he had a big shot Dar because I'm for real so I prepared because he was here only for a week so within a week we did one song which I've not released after that I I had to go to Dar see it was his comfort zone we did a lot of work and then within like four days I was back here yeah so I changed because even magic himself had told me experiment also with other good good producers so one of the when he heard about Taz because he knows him he's like ah yeah try him out so he did that did Taz did the song it was master there the guitarist instrumentalists are there but I see one thing I didn't I had told God when I started my ministry I was struggling I was already disappointed but I got the best people they were like oh you want to serve in your songs I was like what so if you see him Malwena gripper John Marco John Marco even is nominated here for some awards a maranatha very good guitarist yeah now from the God you should come see so you remember always always so are you planning to still try out different producers different production companies and might you still go back to because there is a time I saw a post on one of artists pages that say that artists they keep so you can't get one producer who knows your sound who knows to bring out the best in you I feel I can there is a song which I am doing with another producer but it still has to go through magic or Taz one of the two so now those are you two guys those are my two for here locally I do magic out I do Taz because you actually need that because you want to understand you want to grow so they understand even the kind of vibe that you have and they are really talented they don't do mediocre so it's good so on a lighter note what is the one thing you notice from the opposite sex when a man walks by or you spot many men somewhere what is the first thing you notice trick question yes wow you've just gotten me wow how he looks he's grooming I'll see his outfit will be the first thing I notice of course yeah I don't need it it's because I have to be so I have to navigate that question so we get that question very well so when you are not to work I like his shoes I love his shoes the outfit will be the first because you'll be like nice what is the most compliment you've had beautiful yes you are but also they say I have a very good heart and you know a good heart you can't buy yeah you can't buy that's what I get most of the time I'm not poor but the only thing I don't know is that God has given me so much it's a truth because most of the time if it was not for God so you have a very lovely voice thank you so we have the same so what is that one thing you're really bad at so many things so many things it's a truth like hey you really want to I can't be like I don't even want to mean I just want one to one one thing that I'm not really good at I'm not good with crowds when it comes to one to one I'm not I think that's what people don't get they are like they are like and then and then I'll pull one person on the side and I just talk to them like the whole time so they find it so weird they may think I'm a snob but I'm also very shy most of my friends know that so I'm like so that's anyway what are you not talking to I'm not a snob what what are you bad at me I want to know I want

We bring up the last unit of twitter. You can sign on twitter m.s.hila.feeding people to click on Twitter we can sign from twitter Now in this session. We will look into tourism and how that has the impact on vaccines. Remember that tourism accounts for about 10% of numere ako in Kenyan. More than 1 million freshwater Kikutu 왜 farafin places ntoshimama She is the founder of BOSVELID ADVENTURES. She will be taking us through the journey of tour and travels, high experience, and what the future looks like when it comes to the tourism sector. Thank you very much for creating time, Masi. Thank you for having me, Michelle. Absolutely. My name is Masi Omoyo-Mombi. I'm the founder and CEO of BOSVELID ADVENTURES. Basically, I'll also take you through my journey in the beginning up to where I've come from, to where I am right now, before and even post COVID and during the COVID affair. So, I'm ready and willing to give you the information that you require for the show. Absolutely. Social guys back at home, they are looking forward to this interview and getting informed. And just for the people who are planning for getaways, vacation, trips. So, Masi Omoyo is the right person that we have in the studio to just talk about matters of tour and travel. So, let's start off by finding out how has COVID-19 affected your business as BOSVELID ADVENTURES? Okay, thank you for your question. So, this is it. So, during the COVID, there was a ban lockdown. And with the lockdown, it means that you can't get access into and out of Nairobi. And Nairobi is a heart of the tourism. This is where we have our market, our main market. This is where we have our main clientels. And also, some of our destinations are outside Nairobi and very few are within Nairobi. So, for a moment, we just had to lockdown, shut down our offices and services for a while so that you can see what is laying ahead of us. At the same time, during this COVID, also the traveling and also some of the destinations were closed down. We can say it's Kereita Forest, the forest. It's famous for zip-lanning and they have closed for a very long time. It's just recently this week, they announced that hey, we're back. So, you can get it that it was a set off. I'm excited for everyone. I'm excited that Kereita Forest have actually opened up. One of the good fun when coming to zip-lanning. They have the longest zip-lanning in Kenya. Yes, very interesting one. You know how they had to beat when you... They are doing it. I guess they had to. So, I must say you are very young and social people back at Tom can see you. You are very young and you are already into business. So, I would like to just for you to give us a little bit of a background of how you ended up starting up this particular business both related to ventures and why both related to ventures, how the idea came by and how it came to be. Okay, thank you. So, about both worlds, a little bit of background. So, in everything that you do, there's always the picture in the mind and your dream is as big as your eyes can see. So, if at all you see it's possible, if your eyes can see it's possible and you believe in it, it will just come down someday. So, the first thing in the background always knew I would love to become someone. I would in club to be successful. I would love to be significant. You can mention my name and someone will say, oh yes, I know her. Yes, she did this. So, in my whole journey, I have it in mind that I have the idea. I should begin because as they say, when you have a shape in the habit, yes, it's safe, isn't it safe? Very safe. It's very safe. But was it meant to be in the habit? No. No, it was supposed to sail, right? So, the same thing. If you have your idea in mind, you should just convert your dream to become a reality. You should just go ahead and work it out. So, that's why I decided to work it out. And when I was working out, it just began. I'll just do it. And the name was spelled. I checked and they saw the names. The first name is Aby. They just said Aby. Just Aby, kubaz and something. So, Aby is always busy and it's very productive. So, both weld adventures, whatever it takes, it has to be productive. I went to the word o, opportunities. In everything that you do, there is always an opportunity. There is an opportunity for you to become a better person. There is an opportunity to upgrade your current state to a better one. And then you went to the letter S. The letter S was, I have told you don't, yes, I'll be successful, but I'd love to be significant. So, yes, S is for significant. So, this both weld affair, you have to be significant. When you say both weld, someone can get and see, yes, and it's both weld. I have done it with them. I want to do it with them because they have something. You get it? And then you went to the letter V. You know, there's always a vision behind everything. And because you have a vision, that's why despite the setbacks, you'll still rise, you shag the dust, the mud, and you just decide, I'll just sell through. You get it? So, that was a V and A was for effort. Behind everything that is successful in this world, you need to work for it, you need to show a little bit of effort, you need to wake up that, you need to have that alimony, you need to have that late evening, so that was it. And for the L was leadership.  Yes, and then for our DA became determination. In everything that you do, just be determined. So, both worlds, we determined to offer the very best of services and our adventures. You know, adventure is just a departure to an unknown place. And our tagline is departure into unknown lands. Now, the adventure is the main subject too, the subtitle, the departure into unknown lands. Okay, just listening to you while speaking, it just came out like, you knew what you wanted, the whole vision, you just painted the whole picture. For someone who is watching and they want to get into any sort of business and they have the idea, right? But now, it's easier said than done. Yes. What was just like a tip that made you form just the paper to actually actualizing whatever idea you had. Okay. The first thing, you already have it. You have the idea. The next step is to make it into a reality. Just, okay, I think don't look if you have the money because you have two important things when you don't have money. In entrepreneurship, it's about three things. It's about the effort, it's about the time and it's about the money. Sometimes money can be a constraint but you have the effort and the time. And in many businesses that you get into, not all require money, some of them just require, I come to Michelle, I tell Michelle, I want you to give me this discount and then I'll go to a client and then I'll get some commission from you. That is also part of business. So the very first thing is accept it, take a step. Just believe in yourself that you got this and you can do it. It doesn't matter what you lacking or what you think will be a constraint ahead. The best thing is actually just live in your present. Just believe you can do it. Just wake up, just make a step. The very first thing, many people fail. An entrepreneur is very different from any other person because you took a step. However simple, if you will only reach out to only one person, the best thing is you made the step. That alone is enough to give you another foundation to get to the next step. There's no way you'll say, you have the idea and I just want it to become a big picture. Well, right now you're just sitting on the idea and saying I want it. And telling the story. Yes, and telling the story. You know one day I'll become this. No, just begin by saying one day I want to become this. Remember, as I said in the beginning, a dream is as far as your eyes can see. So the first thing, just take the step. However small, however big, just use the little resources that you have and just know you have the two main resources which is time and your effort that you can put into it to convert the money to be attracted. And also money attracts money. If you're looking for that money, definitely it will come for you if you're doing the right thing. So basically what you're saying is just use whatever you have within your means and just what you can reach out for as a startup, as an interpreter, we're just starting up. So what kind of a background does one need to start up in a twin travel business? What background did you have? Okay. Educational background that is. Yes. Okay. My case is so different, Michelle. Okay. I forgot to mention I'm heading to Thadia. I'm taking a course in procurement and logistics management. So the whole idea, I have a little, I'm knowledgeable about tours and travels but this is a result of the passion. You know, whatever, even as an interpreter you should always major in something that you love. So for me I had traveling as a hobby.  So I just decided, okay, every weekend I'm okay, I'm going to Nanyuki, I want to go to Mombasta. So I just decided. Like most young people actually, yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I just said, maybe in future there are some people I would love to go with people on board and we having fun together. So I began it. So this is as a result of passion. I just turned my hobby into a business. And I'm doing well. Yes, it's working for me. All right. So our question of the day, remember you guys at Y254 channel, that's where you can find us on our Facebook page. And we have the question which is how can you raise money to start a business? So Tumasi, how did you raise your initial capital for both build adventures? Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Michelle. As I told you earlier, I told you it's not a bus to have money. Okay. To start it. For me it was just simple. I've told you I've worked with only two things. Discounts in the commission. So I would approach some hotels. I tell them, hey, I have some clientele and I can't do the reservation because I don't have the money. Okay, one thing you have to be very honest about it. Don't create a picture that should not be you. So I just said, hey, this is what I have. I have 10 clients and they want to pay but I want to be the agent here. So you will give me the discount. And then thereafter, after they have left, I'll come for my commission. So I've just been doing that. I've just been doing that. Okay, slowly. So I have the money now. So I just decided now because it's very okay, then I can do it. At the same time, as a young person, I can just advise you don't go out there throwing the money into the weekends, taking money to William Nias, having fun, just have budgeted fun. Make sure you save. Okay, if you get something, always ensure that you save nearly 20% for ahead. So my savings have also been a great deal in whatever I'm undertaking. The project I've just undertaken. Yeah, savings. And being honest. Being honest with David. So how long have you guys been into business? Okay. We began, I've been in the business for nearly now. It's been nearly eight months. We began late last year. You know, late last year, yes. We've just been trying to compete not against any other travel agency or travel. But we've always been trying to fight against our objectives. You know, that is the right way you should go. Don't fight. We show, we show, wish others in the same thing, in the same line of business you're doing, wish them well. But inside you, fight and battle, compete against your own objectives. That way you can you can get to go higher and higher every day. And always remember, in the field, it's only you. And in you, you have to fight in yourself. That tells you, please don't wake up early today. Then you'll just say, no, I'll wake up early. You're already facing objectives and you're already winning. Yes. Alright, so just taking to your lane and the vision of your own business that is. So I'd like to find out, we have mentioned a couple of lessons that you learnt along the way.  So that means there are definitely other two and travel agencies. Yes. And I'd like to find out, what is your niche? What is, what's so different about Bootsveld Adventures? Okay. Bootsveld Adventures. I think you heading towards the our unique value proposition exactly. I think I got it right. So this is more about everyone else is doing this but what is going to make us outshine and be the best. So the first thing, each and every two as in travel is out here. It's doing the domestic and others are doing the foreign. But the main thing is that in the domestic there is a general public and there are institutions. Not so many two as in travel go to institutions like hey, this is Bootsveld Adventures. We have our packages. We can manage your school trips. We can manage your team building. We can manage your for living, the incoming, the guys who are graduating and stuff. So that is our main, that is our unique value. That is the main target where we going and we've been to a couple of schools and institutions and because of covid there are some deadlines we haven't been able to be it or something. But already we had it. We had it right from the beginning. So I can say that I'm still stating don't try to compete with other people. Just battle against your objectives because you never go wrong. So for you guys being into business for like eight months and I've seen a couple of a couple of your game drives a couple of chips that you guys have gone to you guys will get to see them in a few but in that time frame of eight months and then covid hit which is something that no one expected globally. So what are some of the things as a company that you've set aside to ensure that in future like a time of uncertainty that we are in that you actually will covid and you guys will be okay. Some of the lessons that you have learned. Okay. The major, I have only one main lesson. The rest can be summed up by this one. I've just learned as an entrepreneur who is doing business and who wants to succeed you should always have the bigger picture. That is you should never have all your eggs in one basket. Like for now we only had a major on our institutions but for now we've been forced to go to another market which was not in our initial plan. So I've just learned that next time you should have to incorporate almost each and everything just have a thought. What if this happens? Just what if this fails?  But for now we're still working with our backup plan which is now the current general public which is serving us quite well. All right. So during this time of covid guys who have been working the employees at the hospitality industry the twin travels they got hit really hard and most people lost their jobs less earning that is plus that. So what would be your advice and to this particular person who just lost their jobs if they were in tourism to entravel or in any form of any other business what would be your advice to that particular person? Okay. For this question I will welcome God purposefully. I'll just say that things in life they just don't happen. They happen for a reason and to just take your own understanding that God's timing is always the best and that God has a greater picture for us. So if you tear back at home you just lost your job things are not working as they used to be just take this opportunity to just have a meeting with yourself just tell yourself that for the period that you served you served well. The first thing appreciate yourself that you did well in the area that you had and always remember when God closes one door it means He's preparing another door so just be hopeful that is the best thing just be hopeful and just have a just believe everything will be okay and at the same time always remember it's always advisable to have a backup plan backup plan in that you know people even our employers they are human they can wake up they also into business and if something is not working out it means He can't afford it anymore so it has gamma to a time that He'll just say Hey you served me well but for now I just can't I'm not in a position to so just have your plan have a small business if any feel just that sellings kumawiki apu we actually have a segment known as Idea Prenuwa where we actually give different sort of business ideas where people can actually engage and get extra financial cash we can make it their full time job so I like the fact that you say people should not give up appreciate whatever you did and just think quite fast and just look for something but one thing Michelle they shouldn't forget is never be ashamed of your hustle because at the end of the day you'll still need to get into your pockets you'll just you'll not get ok there are people's comments and sentiments about your hustle will never pay your bills so if you sell in skumawiki just do it if it's kumawiki just do it proudly yes exactly dress to it if you can even dress in a suit to go and sell skumawiki it's a good marketing strategy for real because we will be knowing the Michelle who sells skumawiki in suits it's a good marketing strategy so let's look at the package that both build adventures has and also looking at this same restriction of just too much of gathering just following government guidelines just to ensure that we prevent and just contain the spread of COVID-19 so what are the packages we have and how far can we go yes tell us ok hey Michelle we can go as far as we want if want to go to Wasimara we'll just go to Wasimara the thing is ok we also ok the COVID has also made a blow to us because formally ok even our 4x4 jeep they land cruises we used to have 8 but for now we can only take 4 even less than 4 so we are charging ok the only thing we've done is we have just made our praises to be more relative and more friendly so that you can not disappear into the market we are just doing it to have to maintain the name all our packages are ready from Mombasa Masimara the only package that is not available is one to go to Tanzania which will be maybe be made available in some time maybe after 1st August yes international no maybe let's nearly September ok you know safety safety first ok so the packages we have looked at Mombasa Mombasa, Nanyuki we have game drives yes interesting I'll give you one I promise after this I'll give you one just like that just like that your Michelle has just gotten to have a good ticket for game drive ok so let's look at looked at the packages and some of what you guys actually offer I would like to find out the fact that there is so much going on right now and when you look at the business aspect you may just feel like drowning so I would like to find out do you have employees is it a team or coming together to just work as a group or how does it work ok you know again united we stand divided we fall for working as a team is always the best idea because everyone you can't be good in everything there is always one person who is specialized in doing and something else better than you can do it so we have a team I have a very nice had working photographer but he is very cute ok yes he is a very nice photographer we have a so he is work so guys will get to check out some of their adventures that they actually got to go to as do you take us to this journey we also have our marketing strategist she is a very pretty lady she always has the plan our moyo ok everything is nice the poster is already out we have the branches we are going to this school we have been an activation so the best thing you will do just avail at four we have a briefing so it's a very nice team only have a photographer and a marketing strategist for their management and their management speaking about marketing strategy and everything else I would like to find out how you penetrate into the market look at eight months allow me to take you back so eight good months and you guys you were speaking about having eight vehicles we are going for even adventures and everything else game drives eight months we are looking at eight vehicles and now doing this COVID-19 things are very slow we are looking at four how did you guys penetrate the market and how did you tap to your own client ok the best thing before you market you have to understand what is your target market so that you can easily penetrate to it for us it was institutions so it was easy to entice with t-shirts it was easy to entice with some little questions about the world life about tourism and you have a t-shirt so we could just slash it we had branches we had giveaways our buy rows our hoodies our t-shirts we also had we formally had the introductory letters that were dispatched through various hotels schools establishing that hey this is both well adventures this is what we do these are our objectives these are our services and so it was easier to penetrate because we first took time to understand our markets and what it needs and what is lacking in the market yes ok so I know it might sound a little bit grim when I say this but there is always an opportunity in time of chaos right so I would like to believe in the tourism and travel business there is an opportunity even during this time of COVID-19 especially right now there is no international travel until August of first of August sorry so what is the opportunity that we have right now even during this time of chaos ok the best opportunity is more time we have more time yes we have more time to our travel industry honestly I have clients who have been postponing hey Wamoyo thank you I had booked it but for now I'm required at work so urgent so I can't make it so you can just forward my book into the next group so for now we've had so many busy busy the busy bee employees who are now booking they also having their own time at the same time it has given us more time to strategize on our to re strategize on our objectives it's during this period that we've we've developed our websites again so it has also given us more time to get back to the drain board now because because we had we had the whole idea before COVID now we had to go back to the drain board and have the idea after COVID and during COVID so it has given us time to rejuvenate and get ready for the market alright so Matthew I'm so sure that during this time you guys have also gone back to the drain board in this situation I'd like to find out what do you think the future post COVID-19 what will the to and travel look like especially right now like you have to win the confidence of your clients just ensuring their safety in every aspect of that what's the future like of to and travel post COVID-19 ok thank you so the first thing post COVID-19 we're working on an insurance policy that will ensure that our clients are safe they're insured in each and every trip you get insured your safety is a guarantee yes I think that is the main thing we're working with right now because the main challenge is about the health so that is the main thing we're working on yes something like that alright as you wind up I'd like you to use camera 4 and tell people back at home who are planning for game drives I already have a ticket right of course of course where do you want the tickets Maseimara and Nairobi Maseimara maybe ok mami that is 3 days 2 nights ok so as people back at home watching this I'll let you to just give them a boat of confidence of what you guys
