Killing Mbappe is not happy at PSG, his dream has been to play for Real Madrid, he wants to move to Real Madrid as soon as possible. Information then, till 2025 Killing Mbappe remains a PSG player. Last month he wrote a letter to PSG saying, you know what, I will not extend my contract and that effectively means that he can walk away from PSG for absolutely nothing. The Mbappe to Madrid saga has come yet again, but I think this will be the end of it. The question is, what should he do? The way I see it, there are only three options for Mbappe this summer. Stay at PSG, go to Real Madrid, or go somewhere else. Believe it or not, Mbappe has been with PSG for six years, and what does he have to show for that?  Exactly. Right now, PSG is not the club where a great player can achieve everything they dreamed of as a player. They tried to make that happen and brought in a lot of quality, but for too many reasons to properly address right now, it didn't work. And the fact of the matter is, PSG is not going to be a top caliber team at least for a few more years. Lugarte can be there one day and same with Zyra Emery, but Mbappe wants to win right now and if he wants to do that ASAP, he should go elsewhere. He should leave PSG. So I'm going to cancel out that option to stay with PSG, and I'm sorry to say this PSG fans, but I think he should do that as well. It's sad because I think at a different time, Mbappe could have spent the rest of his career at PSG. Only if they had been a seriously competitive team for international trophies. That is how you keep the best, most ambitious players happy. That's why places like Real Madrid and Barcelona have been so successful. That's why Modric and Cruz and Ramos had been able to spend so much time at Real Madrid without wanting to leave, because they could achieve everything they could have ever wanted at Real Madrid. And Mbappe can't do that at PSG. There's not much reason to leave a club when you're getting paid well, getting playing time and winning matches. But does that mean Mbappe should go to Real Madrid? I'm going to try to put my Barcelona bias aside for this, but keep it in mind, I'm not perfect and sometimes it seeps through. Top of the La Liga table had a flawless Champions League group stage. So on paper, Real Madrid is as good as ever right now. But are they actually? No, this season they've been getting bailed out by Jude Bellingham a ton. And we can argue that his form will never continue like this forever. And then what are they going to do? But that is just speculation, so let's look at it with a different lens. If Killian Mbappe joins this side, Jude Bellingham will likely have to play with a little bit less freedom than he does right now. Mbappe just does not show as much on the defensive side of the ball, the willingness to cover like Vinny, but more specifically Rodrigo do. I doubt Jude is going to be able to make these same penetrative runs when he has to slightly worry about Killian Mbappe not tracking back the same way that Vinny and Rodrigo might, even though Vinny isn't the most defensive player in the world. But now that we mentioned that Brazilian duo, what are they going to do? Vinny almost exclusively plays on the left side, which is exactly where Mbappe plays at his best. And does that mean you have to move Vinny to the right and put Rodrigo through the center? Well, we've seen that Rodrigo doesn't really work well as a striker. So what are you going to do? Bench him, even though he has more goal contributions than Vinny does? Or are you going to bench Vinny? Let's be honest, though, these are good problems to have, but it's not a good thing not to be getting the best out of two thirds of your attacking lineup. And on top of that, Endric is coming as well, who could be great, but will only have just barely turned 18 when he goes next summer. So you can't imagine that he'll start every match so that Mbappe can play off of him on the left, even though an Mbappe, Endric, Vinny or Rodrigo front line would be insane. But even though having all of this talent is great, it's a bit of a mess and it's far from simply sliding Mbappe into your lineup perfectly. However, if anybody can handle this, it would be Carlo Ancelotti. So since he's now locked down until 2026, it's not necessarily a bad transition for Mbappe to make, but he doesn't slot into this team perfectly and that could push his hopes for a Ballon d'Or or a Champions League title a year or two down the line until they are able to find a perfect solution for all these incredibly talented players. And a slight delay isn't catastrophic, but if it's not going to give you everything that you want now, why not wait until Endric has solidified himself as one of the best number nines in the world and you can spend time in your home city with your best friend like getting a bag instead. Eh, that's still not a great reason to not go to Real Madrid. However, that's why I've saved the best for last, going elsewhere. Specifically Barcelona or Liverpool. Okay, Barça, that's a tad bit of fantasy football, but the reason I bring them up is because Mbappe would slide into this squad seamlessly, immediately making them contenders for every title they play for without having to spend any time worrying about logistics of the squad. Barcelona has the number nines that Mbappe can start playing off of today with a struggling Robert Lewandowski, but also with a highly touted Vitor Roque, who will be six months ahead of Endric when Endric goes to Real Madrid. No matter how impossible it may be, Barcelona are better positioned right now to house killing Mbappe than Real Madrid are. They have a desperate need for a left winger who can hug the touch line and drive at players with the ball and make things happen, especially on the counter. But you may also say that he may not be the best contribution to an attacking side that presses well on the ball. But Barcelona is not a good pressing side at all right now, and which Joao Félix and Robert Lewandowski constantly starting, I can confidently say that killing Mbappe is in no way any worse than both of them at pressing, and in fact, he's much better on the attacking side of the ball. So it will be at the very least an incredible improvement on the two of them. But the reason this is fantasy football is not because killing Mbappe was a Madrid fan and wanted that Madrid fan for so long. It's because Barcelona has no money. We have seen for years that players are willing to play for whatever club, no matter who they supported as a kid. It happened for Madreig and Jude Bellingham, and apparently also Iniesta, but it doesn't matter. Don't get your hopes up because there is zero possibility that Barcelona can afford him right now, maybe in a few years, but not at all right now. However, the reason I bring up Barcelona is to show you how big of a deal it would be if killing Mbappe can slot into a team immediately, like he could if he went to Liverpool. There's been other rumors about Chelsea and Arsenal as well in the Premier League, but Chelsea are a little too, I guess, bad for a lack of a better word right now, and Arsenal need a striker, not a winger. Sure, they could use a winger, but they desperately need an elite striker, and so I'm a little too worried that he would be used too much as a striker instead of a winger, which is where he would excel the most right now. However, Liverpool, honestly, it's perfect for him. A great left winger would fit pretty perfectly into their squad, and they don't desperately need a striker because they have Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakbo that can not only cover that position, but you also won't feel like you're missing having them on the wings like you would with Vinny or Rodriguez. Also, they're incredible on the counter. Can you imagine if Mbappe was added to the lineup of Salah and Darwin Nunez? Having two clinical players in Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah would make this team not only a contender for the Premier League when Manchester City is struggling, but also just a contender for the Premier League period. I genuinely cannot stop thinking about how amazing this squad would be. The only problem they realistically have is at the base of the midfield, but if you're outscoring everyone, are you, holy crap, what a team. And with Jurgen Klopp at the helm, I don't see any reasons to believe this side is not competitive in every single league they play in. I guess they just have to get back to the Champions League now. Maybe Mbappe's pressing ability could be called into question, but honestly, I think Klopp could handle that. And Salah seems like such a humble player that I don't think his ego would take a hit having another great name in that squad. I really don't think that'd be an issue at all. Salah is so humble. However, it doesn't really matter how perfect it's gonna be because the problem is getting Mbappe invested into this project. I just don't see that happening at all. Straight up, playing for Liverpool is just not as sexy as playing for a club like Real Madrid or Barcelona or even PSG. The move is just a bit of a deviation off of what we have always heard that the Frenchman has always wanted. And so as much as I would like him to go, I don't really think he will. But honestly, it just seems a little too out of character for him. So I think he's either gonna stay at PSG for another year or two or go to Real Madrid this summer. I know, not a crazy prediction, but that's what I think's gonna happen even though I would love to see him at Liverpool where I'd love to see if La Porta can somehow sell his left leg and get him this summer. I don't think either one of those things is gonna happen. Also, I'm gonna be live streaming a watch along of the Supercopa final this Sunday. So make sure you're subscribed and you turn on notifications so you are aware of when I do go live.  But thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Peace.


The Minister for Health and Social Services, Mark Dreadford did explain prudent healthcare and what that means for the NHS. Minister, can you tell me what you mean by the term prudent healthcare? Well I think prudent healthcare is a way of thinking about what we do in the NHS in Wales. And I think it is a way of approaching services that draws together Mae'n gweithio ychydig yn ddigonol, mae'n gweithio'r dyfodol o'r cyfnod gyda'r cyflwyn yma, a'r cyfrannu cynnigol, yn ddweud i ddim yn gweithio'r ddweudio, i'r cyfrannu cyfrannu cyfrannu cyfrannu yma yn ymwyfu ymddangos yn ffordd y cyfrannu. A'r ddweud, dyma'n ddweud i ddim yn gallu cyfrannu, mae'n ddweud i'n ddweud i ymdill ar hwnnw. Mae'n ddweud i'r ddweud i'r cyfrannu cyfrannu gyfrannu cyfrannu yn ymweld cymdeithasol.  How does that equate with the principles of prudent healthcare?  Well there are some challenges in prudent healthcare for patients as well as for the service and we do in some ways have to restructure the conversation that we have between the people who provide the service and the people who use it. Despite the huge merits that the NHS has, one of the things which I think you can level some criticism at the way the health service was established is, is that it does rather rely on a relationship in which all the power is on one side of a table and all the need is on the other and that sort of does encourage people to come through the door thinking that they are able to hand over what is happening in their lives to somebody else who will then somehow solve the problem for them and prudent healthcare along with co-production is very much a way of evening up that conversation of recognising the expertise that people have in their own lives while at the same time saying to patients that there are things which they will need to contribute if the outcomes are to be best for them and sometimes measuring what the NHS does for you by volume is not necessarily the best way of seeing whether it's doing the right thing for you. I think there's a lot we can learn from social care and the reablement movement in all of this. Part of prudent healthcare has to be that we are always asking ourselves the question what are we doing alongside this person to maximise their own ability to go on leading a life in which they have the maximum control over their own needs and circumstances and that is a different way of thinking about things. Okay so to take an example recently there's been perhaps criticism that the NHS isn't doing as much for for example bariatric patients as perhaps they might do. So rather than a patient thinking I need an operation to address this condition what might happen in the in an instance of how prudent healthcare might be applied? Well in a prudent healthcare approach we'd be asking ourselves two or three key questions here. First of all we would need to be sure that whatever we were offering that patient was based on the most tried and tested methods and it is evidence based that we are sure that we are not going on doing things where we know the evidence tells us that those things either do no good or worse still might be doing active harm in that person's life and there still is ground to be gained in the health service in making sure that we eliminate from our repertoire those things that don't do good and may do harm. So that's the first question we'll be asking ourselves. The second question we'll be asking ourselves is what is the minimum necessary intervention that we need to pursue with this person to produce the results that we are jointly trying to produce and that minimum necessary intervention will rely on thinking about what the person is able to contribute as well as what the health service is able to contribute and we should never do more than we need to do. Put it the other way round you would never want to be having a more invasive form of treatment than your condition requires so the minimum necessary principle makes a virtue of our very important point of course that does not mean that when you have exhausted the first level of intervention and found that there's more that you need to do that you won't move to that next level and it doesn't mean in the bariatric surgery example that there won't be people who require the most invasive forms of treatment but we go to those at the end of the process as the last point in the process and quite certainly not the first we only move up the hierarchy of interventions when we're confident that we've exhausted the things that lie below them okay and if you were a member of the NHS workforce how would you apply the principles of prudent health care in your day to day work what sorts of things should you be looking for how would you contribute how could you be a part of the bigger picture well I think if you're someone who's part of the workforce then the way the prudent health care principles will apply most vividly in your work is by looking at process innovation very often the way we provide services and the way we do things don't match up easily to the principles that I've just outlined so we're going to have four workshops here in Wales looking at four different examples and what we're going to be saying is if you were running pain management services for example along the lines that we have just discussed what would that service look like how would we be redesigning the service that we provide and we've got some very good examples in Wales where that's already been done if you think of our lymphedema services for example we are now treating more people more quickly more effectively and without needing extra resource to do it and we were not that long ago and that's been brought about by a very committed group of people using prudent health care principles to redesign the service that is provided making sure that we don't do things that were ineffective making sure that we do things that really make a difference making sure that we start with the basic tried and tested forms of intervention before we move on to anything more intrusive or invasive if you're working in an area and are asking yourself these questions then I think quite soon people will see ways in which the service they provide can be adapted to the way we will need to do things in the future that's right because it's a challenge for staff isn't it to explain that to patients especially when traditionally they've measured their care on the volume of activity they provided absolutely it certainly relies on those conversations but when you have the conversations and you are able to explain to people that this is so that we can put the resources that the NHS has I don't mean just money although money is very important to it but resources in terms of staff time and expertise that we are matching our resources to greatest need that we are doing the things that are most likely to work that we are doing them in partnership with patients so that their contribution to their own better health and well-being is maximised then I think it's a conversation which very quickly makes sense to people who use the service as well as those who provide it and if you're a member of the department here at Welsh Government how would you apply principles of brilliant healthcare in your day-to-day work here well here we tend to be looking at strategies for the future we tend to be looking at the way that we deploy the funding that we've got available and it's exactly the same thing really it's when we're looking at the way we want to develop things in the future that we apply exactly those same principles here in the way that we try and set out those rather larger and overarching ways of doing things so that for the person on the ground there is a clear and obvious connection between the things we say as a government that we want to see happening and the job that we ask them to do not very good thank you very much thank you


So you're adding to a little bit of trouble there in that first inning, but got out unscathed. How were you able to do that? We look at it and say a lot of good pitches, you know, faster than the way it was. Like it was hitting soft or that bad. So we started the fastball down in the way and make good pitches down there. Get out of that. You retire 18 of the final 20 batters you faced. Why do you think you were so effective tonight? Like I said, we were throwing a lot of strikes. First with strikes, you know, about doors right, it was a regular pitch, fastball down on the way, and we were attacking the whole game. You feel like it was one of the best four semifinals you've had all season long? Do you have control of it? Yeah, of course. I mean, I've been working on it. I think, you know, the last couple of games have been pretty good on that. And I think each outing, I try to get better and do a better job of that. What, how do you work on that? What do you do to work on that? Excuse me? And you said you were working on it. What do you do to work on that? How do you work on that? No, just in between, you know, stars, you know, bullpens, you know, it's really easy when you don't have anybody on base control bullpens. I realize I put myself in difficult situation, you know, scoring position on man on base and trying to throw those pitchers like a man in the game. So what's it like to watch this offense go off? Oh, it was, it was, oh my God. I mean, I think the last two are in the right pitch, we scored like two runs and then we scored 15, 16 in this one. It was, it was amazing to see those guys. I mean, this is what we can do. You know, we have a power line that can go deep and we have a group of good guys.


everyone shiver 1000 here today we're going to be putting these tiles up they're just the peel and stick tiles they are removable but the first thing we got to do is some prep work and I want to show you what we're going to do first we're going to get right into it stick around take them off and we also have some scraping to do right here all the way across any of this from the old there's some caulking from the old backsplash used to come up here a little bit of glue and once you get this all scraped down I'm going to do that and monkeys go to wipe it down you're going to let it dry completely and then we'll move on to the next step let's see there's some glue coming off there from the old backsplash so make sure you get all that off we're going to do that first take these covers off and we'll get to cutting some tiles sticking them on so stick with me let's get on with this okay guys so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to cut this tile we got to get these these parts here off so I'm going to do is just using my straight edge go right up against here just like that it's actually called a speed square we'll start there I want to make this straight just like that so make sure this is clear up against there okay there were first towel let's go in and stick it on okay now these tiles have a backing and it has the front protector on it leave that front protector on for now so what we're going to do monkeys already got the wall I did the scraping and she's got the wall all cleaned down for me so we're gonna peel this off not all the way yet we're gonna go back just a little bit kind of peel this over let's stick this up in here I'm going to go back a little bit to cover that hole we got there and we'll make sure I'm starting straight there because this is going to be cocked too so backing off it is forgiving so I'm going to go right straight to the bottom of our of our countertop there just like that push it up just like that now use my little knife here I'm just going to give it a little protective cover all like I said this is going to be cocked in here so if you don't have that straight don't worry about it same way down here that's going to all want to be recocked okay so I'm gonna move on down when we get up to the top I'll show you the top it's pretty much the same way only we're going to go up to the bottom of the cabinet and I'll cut off where I need to go this overlaps so what I'm going to do is I'm going to overlap this we'll find out we're well this hole let's pretend I'm just covering right over this but let's pretend like it was here now you can measure over and up and all that you can go around there and you can see it and you mark a line with your pencil you can mark that out where you want to want to cut it so when we get to that one I'll show you how we want to do that and we'll go ahead and get this one put up I'll be back with you okay guys this is what we're looking at so far all I did on this thing is I stuck it up there and I had her hold it and I just went ahead and cut around that that's how I did that same way with this I just measured it I held it up there to see where I was going to about where it's going to be then I then I measured it I made a little mark there and I came down and I cut it back so far and then I cut this little little dog leg out here now we're running down this way you know the issue we're having is this counter is running downhill and my tiles are running straight so what we're going to have to do to remedy that is we're going to put trim down here on the bottom and then up here see you can see where I'm trying to straighten it out we'll just run a piece of string trim or something across there there's nothing I can do that windows not square and they measured to the countertops from the floor and the floor is not it's not level so my stuff running level now the reason why I didn't go to the bottom of the counter or you know to the top of the countertop is because I knew this was running downhill so you would be able to see it in the corners really bad you would be able to see it so this way I can hide a little bit of it you turn that on so yeah I think it's gonna look nice here I'll back you up here a little bit so you can see so far here we go I like the trim too I think that's a lot nicer than coffee yeah yeah these ain't low so anyway we're going to keep going and I want to do that receptacle same way I did this one and we're going to keep going and then we'll show you what we're going to do after that but like I said down here we're just going to get a trim a piece of trim half inch three-quarter maybe and we'll put along the bottom that I think it'll look nice so all right guys we'll be back with you okay we're on the last piece I didn't take you with me almost that because like I said it it's self-explanatory you just cut around things and you're good to go because all this like up in here pretty much just cut on a line so there wasn't really measuring the only thing I had to measure is there's a little piece in here I had to put in which I know you can see the wall in there but this is going to have caulking down through here and then out around here it's going to have trim molding so let's get the last piece I thought I'd bring you with me on this one like I said I've just been using this thing put on there real good don't protect the coating off and there it is guys so bring you back here and I'll show it to you there it is like I said there's gonna be trim down under here a little bit right there each side of the window and then up here and then right back in that corner down to there so let's see here that's really nice yeah looks finished now it looks just really nice more of those blue there we go accent lighting yeah all right they changed color walk me pretty pretty pretty you can make it brighter that one dimmer or brighter you know we this can control up to 36 lights but the problem is these are up under the cabinet so the sensor won't doesn't pick it up so you kind of got to go under right but other than that there you go there's there it is all right I'll be back with you guys and we'll do an outro okay guys so there it is just a kind of a quick and easy job the couple hours half a day then take half a day what time you start well 31 well at least one so one half a day five o'clock all right half a day whatever I took my time I take take your time it took a couple hours but you know I was filming I would stop and take a break but total working time maybe two hours right so everybody's different some days some guys might take them a weekend some guys can have it up in an hour but I think it looks really nice I really like it makes the kitchen and it's finished you know makes it more finished so there you guys go so we'll let you know later on how they're holding up and everything and we'll go from there yeah that's real easy real easy to cut like I said just around these things you can measure or do what I did and just kind of held it up there and monkey hold one hand I just kind of trimmed around it and right over top of it real easy only one part one part I had to measure like I said the rest of this just right right on the lines you know like if I had to cut it was right there so it's real easy okay thanks for watching shape really meant my little legend like such stuff and I'm y'all I'm going for now bye-bye guys take care


Welcome to this course on nano structured materials. We are in the module 3 and today is the sixth lecture of module 3. And we are discussing nano wires and the method of synthesis and the properties of nano wires which are basically one dimensional systems. That means they have a long length around one axis while the two other axis are in nanometer size much smaller. The longer axis can be in micron size may be hundreds of microns depending on their applications. So, the today is the third lecture of the nano wires which we are discussing that is metal and metal oxide nano wires. We can also be extrapolating this kind of study to other materials like sulphides or phosphide nano wires. So, earlier we were discussing in the previous lecture the synthesis of nano wires in which two major techniques we discussed one is the spontaneous growth methodology which includes evaporation condensation dissolution condensation vapor liquid solid growth and stress induced recrystallization methods and also CVD type of methods out of which we discussed to a larger extent the vapor liquid solid growth or also called the VLS growth mechanism of making nano wires. These all form under the spontaneous growth of nano wires. However, we can also synthesize nano wires based on templates which is called the template based synthesis and in the template based synthesis we have discussed two main techniques one is the electrochemical deposition while the other is the electrophoretic deposition and the two techniques are little different. This is mainly for metallic nano wires whereas, electrophoretic deposition we can make nano wires not only of metals, but also metal oxides that is nano wires which are non conducting whereas, those which are conducting can be made by electrochemical method as well as electrophoretic method. There are other techniques which we have not discussed to much greater detail like colloid dispersion or electro spinning and there are of course many techniques of making nano wires using the top down approach that is taking a big chunk of material and then slowly removing material from that using some lasers or using electron beams or ion beams such that ultimately you get fine wires. But we are not discussing those techniques which are called lithographic techniques or top down techniques the techniques in which we have concentrated for the synthesis of nano wires are the chemical based techniques and the 4 5 techniques which we have interest I will just recollect with you the vapor liquid solid growth which we discussed in which you have the presence of a substrate on which there is a catalyst which is a metal and that metal catalyst is in the form of a globule. So, it is in the liquid state and we the material which we want to grow as a nano wire is in the vapor phase. So, you somehow make that material form a vapor that means either high temperature or through some other method and those molecules in the vapor phase get into the metal globule and then when there is the concentration of the material which are to be form the nano wires goes beyond some value and this globule gets saturated with these gaseous species and then the nano wire starts forming on the substrate and the catalyst which is the globule moves on top of this nano wire. And so further deposition in this manner will increase the length of the nano wire this is typically the vapor liquid solid mechanism which we discussed earlier. The other technique which is of importance was the chemical vapor deposition and here for example, I have shown you the growth of gallium nitride nano wires very important material where you have a nickel catalyst on a silicon substrate. So, you have a nickel catalyst on a silicon substrate and you have gallium and a mixture of gallium and gallium nitride powder in the inner reactor. So, you have nickel catalyst on silicon substrate and gallium and gallium nitride mixture on top of that and this is in a tube around that there is a space in which you have hydrogen gas. So, that hydrogen gas keeps the chamber under reducing conditions and then you have a furnace around this which you heat at around 700 degree centigrade and if you do not have the hydrogen this will get oxidized. So, the hydrogen prevents that and then you pass ammonia in the inner chamber. So, this is a two reactor two cylindrical reactors where with the outer furnace and this ammonia in the presence of gallium nitride will lead to growth of nano wires of gallium nitride and ultimately when you cool you remove the hydrogen through an outlet and flush in nitrogen. So, that the system cools in nitrogen and then you can get pure gallium nitride nano wires. The other method which is the template method we discussed where we use the electrochemical methodology of deposition this is a negative template method that means wherever the template is there. So, this grey one is your porous membrane which acts as a template. So, the voids get filled with the growth species which you want to make nano wires. So, ultimately what you get are these nano wires which are shown in this orange color which are forming in this voids of the porous membrane and when you remove this template the grey color template then you are you will get only these orange nano wires. And if you have another metal at the bottom which is called a sacrificial metal then you have to have that metal will before you start growing these nano wires then you can have free standing nano wires because you can remove this sacrificial metal and then these nano wire will not be connected to the substrate. So, basically this is called a negative template because the nano wires are growing where you had voids. You can also have positive template methods that is you grow the nano wire on top of a template and that normally happens for example, in DNA based templates where the nano wire grows on the DNA itself not in the voids like in this case. So, that is why it is called a positive template. So, here is a case of the positive template method which we discussed earlier based on DNA. Now, if you go to another method these all these methods we discussed many of them are for metallic nano wires. Now, if you have to make non metallic nano wires like for oxides like titanium dioxide or zirconium dioxide etcetera then you cannot use the electro deposition method then you will have to use the what is called the sol electrophoretic deposition where you have you apply an electric field to a colloidal solution and you that undergoes electrophoresis and in this system you do not need the material to which is going to form the nano wires to be metallic and because you are going to move some species under an electric field and it depends basically on the dielectric constant the zeta potential that is the surface charge and the viscosity of the medium. So, these factors control this movement under an electric field of this charge species which then deposit in the porous membranes to give you these wires and this is an example of titanium nano rods grown in a membrane. So, these were some of the techniques we have already discussed in our previous lecture. So, today we will start some other techniques like the laser ablation catalytic growth.  So, these metal atoms will form a cluster they can be atoms or clusters which will come out and these clusters of metal atoms when they are surrounded by the material the semiconducting material around it then this semiconductor material will then dissolve in this cluster and then when it reaches a point of super saturation. So, when the semiconducting material crosses a certain concentration within the globule then it starts forming these wires. So, then you have to have a mechanism by which you remove these wires away from the growth region. So, these nano wires of the semiconductor with the metal on the tip and this is called tip oriented growth tip mediated growth of nano wires. There are two types of growth of nano wires one is the root mechanism of growth of nano wires where the metal cluster will remain at the bottom. But here the catalyst which is the metal cluster goes to the tip and the nano wire forms below this is called the tip growth mechanism for nano wires and that is what is happening in this laser ablation catalytic growth and you can you can move this nano wires away from the growth zone and if you deposit them on a substrate this is a TEM picture of this is a SEM picture of these nano wires which have formed by the laser ablation catalytic growth mechanism. So, the catalyst is always some metal particles which have been removed from the substrate using laser and this is a common method nowadays to make nano wires. This is the setup which you use for the laser ablation technique. So, you have a furnace and you have your material on which the laser has to be focus. So, your target is in a quartz tube and you have the gas which is the semiconductor gas which is going to be around that target. So, the laser beam comes here hits the target and you have the metal particles with the gas here and then this gas will be flowing out here and the nano rods or nano wires will be deposited on this cold finger. So, in this region the temperature will be high because there is a tube furnace which hits this region and then this will be some metal plate which we call the cold finger and since the temperature here will be less than inside these nano rods nano wires which you get will deposit on the cold finger. So, this is the setup used for the laser ablation catalytic growth mechanism. Now, these are some examples of nano wires grown by this laser ablation technique and you can see different types of nano wires can be grown this is an indium oxide nano wire. So, in this technique also you do not need that you do not have this restriction of the growth of only metallic nano wires, but you can grow both metallic as well as oxydic nano wires which are insulating or which are semiconducting. So, the indium oxide nano wire is shown here it is quite uniform and in this case what is shown is a core shell type of nano wire that means there is a magnesium oxide wire which is surrounded by iron oxide Fe 3 O 4. So, this kind of core shell nano wire can be seen in high resolution this is the TEM picture along one axis which is the 1 0 0 axis and this nano wire is growing along the 1 0 0 axis and if you zoom into this region of this TEM picture which has a scale of around 10 nanometers. If you zoom here and enlarge this you can see clearly the contrast between the core material and the shell material. So, you have this is magnesium oxide and this is the Fe 3 O 4 and then you can do of course, high resolution of this region. So, the shell material if you do high resolution the shell is iron oxide Fe 3 O 4 and you can clearly see lattice fringes corresponding to the 2 2 0 reflection of the iron oxide material. So, this is a very good uniform nano wire showing the core shell structure. So, you have two materials magnesium oxide and iron oxide and one on top of the other this is like a cable. So, you have like a copper cable on which you have an insulating layer this is similar to that you have a magnesium oxide nano wire which is cladded by or surrounded by Fe 3 O 4 material in the form of a hollow wire inside which M G O is embedded. So, these have lot of applications now going into another methodology of making nano wires this is called the supercritical fluid liquid solid mechanism. So, supercritical fluid what are supercritical fluids. So, basically anything in physical chemistry or chemical engineering you may be aware that liquids which cross a certain critical point in the phase diagram. So, this is suppose a phase diagram of some gas which are under some pressure and some temperature shows this phase diagram how that gas goes into a liquid and in a solid in that system if you come to a point beyond this point. Since, this curve is not extending you cannot differentiate between the gas and the liquid. So, long as you have this curve you can differentiate that in this region the system whatever be may be it is oxygen or whether it is some other gas will remain like a gas. However, if you cross this region that means, if you increase the pressure beyond certain value at a certain temperature you will it will become a liquid. But, if you are somewhere here it is a gas now you keep increasing the pressure it will become a supercritical fluid because now it has no boundary it is neither a gas nor a liquid or you do not have distinct liquid and gaseous phase. So, that is that point beyond which liquid and gas phases do not exist separately is called the critical point. So, if you cross that critical point either in temperature or pressure such that you are in this region then that is called a supercritical fluid. So, if you have supercritical for example, carbon dioxide you can have supercritical carbon dioxide you can have supercritical hexane. So, you can create or do reactions which are otherwise not possible. So, in this case what has been done this is a particular example where supercritical cyclohexane has been taken and in supercritical cyclohexane people have added diphenyl silane. Now, diphenyl silane is a precursor for silicon. So, what happens when you take diphenyl silane in supercritical cyclohexane it decomposes to give you silicon vapors. So, those silicon vapors are then surrounding your some nano crystals where on which the growth will take place. So, basically in this particular experiment the you take gold nano crystals to act as a catalyst like in the earlier cases we have studied nano wire formation you always used a metal catalyst whether it is laser ablation or VLS method etcetera. In this case also you have to have a metal catalyst on which the nano wire will grow. So, here we choose at the particular example shown here has gold nano crystals which forms a liquid droplet and this gold is passivated on the surface of this gold you have got alkene thiols. These are like chain like molecules and as an alkene thiol has a sulphur at the end of the chain and that sulphur binds to the gold. So, alkene thiol coated gold crystals will always have gold with some sulphur at the end and this droplet is then passivated we say and then you bring it close to the diphenyl silane in supercritical cyclohexane. So, diphenyl silane will decompose give you silicon that will be around the gold globule which will act as a catalyst and all this is being done on some substrate and that substrate here is silica on silicon. So, there are some reasons why silica is chosen on top of silicon, but main the point of interest to us is in the growth of this nano wire and this growth of this nano wire in the presence of a supercritical fluid which is cyclohexane and that enables diphenyl silane to decompose to give silicon and hence silicon grows on this metal catalyst to form this silicon nano wires. Now, the another example instead of silane if you take the precursor as germane, germane and silane the only difference is instead of silicon you have you have germanium which is G E. So, if you take diphenyl germane instead of diphenyl silane then obviously you will have germanium nano wires you will not have silicon nano wires. So, you get germanium nano wires in this system again you have got gold nano crystals as a catalyst and you are now using supercritical hexane at certain temperature and pressure. So, you you understand that under this temperature and pressure hexane is in the supercritical region. So, it will be in the supercritical fluid region in the phase diagram of its phase diagram not necessarily this phase diagram and. So, from this you will get not silicon wires you will get germanium wires and the T M picture here shows germanium nano wires grown using the supercritical fluid liquid solid mechanism. Now, coming to another technique this is the solid liquid solid mechanism of growth of nano wires. So, you have silicon substrate on which you have another solid which is nickel. So, you have coated nickel on silicon substrate then you make through some technique it can be through e beam lithography or something you remove some of the regions of nickel right now you can see that the entire surface of silicon is coated with nickel, but you remove part of this nickel. So, that is the alternately you will have nickel and then no nickel and then nickel and no nickel like that. So, you make this kind of a design using either an ion beam or an electron beam or any other method by which you can etch away which means remove some of the nickel in a particular manner. Once you have this setup that means you have silicon at the bottom and nickel at particular places you heat this system to around 550 degree centigrade when you heat this system the silicon will start diffusing into the nickel. So, soon when silicon goes into nickel from the substrate to these places you will no more have pure nickel, but you will have silicon nickel alloy and when the quantity of silicon becomes larger than a critical concentration in the nickel then the growth of silicon nanowires will start. The concept is quite similar to many of the methodologies we studied earlier that where you have a metal in which the material which is going to form the nanowire diffuses in and then reaches a super saturation and then the nanowire growth starts. Same thing is shown here except that you start with a solid and then the solid you heat and then diffusion takes place. So, you have a solid liquid solid mechanism because this silicon nickel alloy will have a lower melting point than either silicon and nickel and then from that melt you will have the growth of silicon nanowires and this picture is a TEM picture showing the growth of silicon nanowires. So, this is another method by which we make nanowires of different materials. Now, another method is using an atomic force microscope. So, in an atomic force microscope you know that there is a cantilever and at the tip of the cantilever you have this kind of a tip which is normally made up of either tungsten or platinum or iridium there are lots of different types of tips which are available. Now, this cantilever I can move wherever I want using an x, y, z positional stage and I can make a touch the surface of any material by controlling the movement of the cantilever. If I put pressure on the cantilever I can also make a scratch on the surface depending on what kind of surface it is. If it is a very hard surface I need special tips to make a scratch. If it is a soft surface the one chosen here is a polymer and so it is a soft surface. So, it is easy for me to make a scratch with normal tips. So, this is PMMA is poly methyl methacrylate it is a polymer and that polymer is coated on a substrate which is silica or quartz and you make a pattern on top the way you want the nanowire to grow. So, first you can see that this cantilever the tip is making a cut on the PMMA surface. Then it removes the poly methyl methacrylate makes a cut on this part. So, what you see is on these edges the polymer is not there and in the center the polymer is not there. So, it makes what is called a nano groove at the center and at the edges also you see there is no more polymer and the silica is visible here. Now, if I add anything on top of that that will grow on the silica on the sides and the silica which is in the nano groove because there is no PMMA there. So, what I do is now I grow the nanowire whatever metal I want on that groove and then I remove this PMMA. So, now wherever the PMMA was there that is blank and that silica surface is now seen. So, you now have this structure like an eye because wherever there was a gap now you have the metal coating and so now you have two metal contacts in between you have a nanowire. So, this is another way using the AFM nanoscratching method that you can make nanowires and you can also make simultaneously metal contacts on sides. So, if you want to do some measurements of say current voltage and other kind of measurements you can make nanowires like this and it is possible to do this using an e-beam lithography setup where you can do e-beam with evaporation and then you can lift off that means take out the PMMA and also after the nanowire is formed you can lift it using a robotic arm and place it wherever you want. So, using this technique many metal nanowires with thickness as small as 50 nanometers have been fabricated of many kinds of metals. This is one example. So, this is the top surface this is the PMMA surface the polymer on top of that that is seen here in a picture which is a typical AFM picture and then you make the AFM scratches. So, these scratches are seen on the AFM picture and then you can put your nano say here it is gold nanowires. So, you have deposited gold on top and this is then a SEM picture of the nanowires which have been deposited in the nano grooves and if you take a closer look. So, you come close to this one or two nanowires you can easily find out and you can do an edax analysis and see that this is typically gold which has been embedded in the system. Now, coming to some biological methods of making nanowires you can also use peptides to make nanowires. So, this is very interesting a lot of chemistry and bio organic chemistry is involved in thinking and designing how you will make hollow tubes of peptides and make nanowires inside them. So, here you see this is you start with a dipeptide you have this phenylalanine type of dipeptide and then itself assembles to form these hollow tubes and then you add silver ions which get reduced on them and you get this silver particles embedded inside the hollow tube of this biopolymer which is basically a polypeptide tube. Now, knowing that this polypeptide chain can be cleaved using certain enzymes we add this enzyme which is protein S k which cleaves this polypeptide tube. So, that polypeptide tube then will get dissolved in the solution and what you will be left behind are the silver nanoparticles arranged as a nanowire. So, the silver nanowire will be remaining behind and the hollow tube has been dissolved because the protein S k has cut the peptide chain. This is another example where you have a protein. So, this red wire kind of thing is a protein which is a long polypeptide chain and it has got some cysteine labeled protein. So, that means cysteine is an amino acid and that cysteine will help you in attaching metal particles. So, when this protein self assembles to form a tube then this cysteine moieties you can see here this cysteine moieties and cysteine is an amino acid which all of us know has a sulfur at the end and sulfur is known to be orophilic that means it likes to be attached to gold nanoparticles. So, whenever you have a tube with cysteine labeled and you bring in gold solution then this gold will get deposited wherever the cysteine is there because the sulfur of the cysteine will attach to the gold and so you will have this gold nanoparticles on the polypeptide chain. You can further add more gold and more silver and complete this chain to get metal nanowires. So, this is another method where we have used our knowledge of cysteine in polypeptide chain and cysteine known to be orophilic will attach to gold wherever it finds and that is how you first make the gold clusters on the polypeptide chain and then you can enhance it by adding more gold nanoparticles or silver nanoparticles. This is a third example of this biopolymer based nano wire synthesis. So, this is insulin which you know is secreted in your body and this insulin is again a biopolymer and itself assembles to form this tube which we in biology we call amyloids. So, here you have cysteine labeled amyloid and this is an amyloid and on that we add a polymer. This polymer is called p dot s and the full name is given here poly 3 4 ethylene dioxide thiophene sulfonate and when you add this p dot s then that attaches itself to this amyloid and forms this kind of chains. So, there are several biopolymer based methods by which you can get metal nanowires. Now, coming to the properties we have metal oxides as you know have a wide range of electrical properties. So, they can be super conducting, they can be metallic, they can be semi conducting and they can also be insulating. The difference between semi conducting and insulating is basically dependent on the band gap. If it is low band gap say 1 2 3 electron volts we normally call them semiconductors when the band gap is high say 4 5 6 electron volts then we call them to be insulators. When is something a metal, something is a metal if you heat it its resistance increases.  So, below that temperature is suddenly loses all its resistance and then its resistance is we more or less 0. We cannot measure the resistance it is beyond our capability to measure the resistance of a superconductor below a certain value and so we say that the resistance is 0 and this state of material when the material goes from the metal to a superconductor is a we call it a metal superconductor transition and there are many other properties associated with it. So, metal oxides can have different electrical properties and they are wide range from insulators an insulator can have a resistance of 10 to the power say 8 ohms whereas, a super metal like copper or aluminum will have a resistivity of 10 to the power minus 8 ohm inverse centimeter inverse. So, there is an order of 10 to the power 16 order change from an insulator to a good metal like copper or gold or silver. Now, with all these wide ranging electrical properties you can make use of them in many many applications. So, there are general applications of metal oxides as catalysts as fuel cells, gas sensors, solar cells, field effect transistors, magnetic storage systems, u v light emitters, detectors, piezoelectric transducers in transparent electronics, many many applications and metal oxides are something which are very widely used in all our day to day life and in the entire world. Now, if you come that what we discussed here are general properties electrical properties of metal oxides we have not discussed about nano wires as such and these are general applications of metal oxides either in their bulk form or in their nano structured form. But, when we come to nano wires metal oxide nano wires have some specific applications for example, if you are talking about metal oxides which are semiconductors then they have some specific applications like they can be used as p n diodes where you have nano wires which are crossing each other. So, crossed nano wires which can act as diodes which we normally study in simple electronics p n diode or it can act as a field effect transistor FETs are field effect transistors very important in all kinds of electronic circuits and you can use FETs using nano wires what we currently or earlier used to use using simple copper wires or other types of conducting materials or semiconducting materials that you can use using semiconductor nano wires. So, obviously you will have very small FETs and so your circuits will be very small and your applications will enhance because you can put more number of FETs in the same space. Now, you can also make nano scale logic gates other general circuits and optoelectronic devices using semiconductor nano wires. So, all these applications which we mentioned p n diodes FETs logic gates are with semiconducting nano wires. If you go to general nano wires may be metallic or magnetic then you add more number of applications. For example, as magnetic devices you can use nano wires as sensors in chemical and biological sensors you can use nano wires you can use them as biological labels that means they can find out something which belongs to a particular biological system. Now, this is an example of a nano wire field effect transistor. So, what is this here as you see you have got a nickel contact on silicon surface and then you have a germanium silicon nano wire here. So, you have a germanium silicon nano wire and this is a these are nickel contacts and when you anneal this around 300 degree centigrade then part of the nickel will diffuse in the germanium silicon nano wire. So, you will have some region where you will have nickel germanium silicon nickel will diffuse from this side from the left side as well as nickel will diffuse from the right side and if you control the diffusion then in between you can retain a space where there is no diffusion only the diffusion is here and on this side. So, now your composition of your nano wire is no more the same you have germanium silicon nano wire at the center and you have nickel doped germanium silicon on the left and on the right because of the change in the composition their property will be different and now this will behave as if a nano wire with nickel germanium silicon on either side. So, if you look under a microscope then you can see that these are the two contacts and this is the small region marked L is actually the germanium silicon nano wire and this is nickel doped germanium silicon nano wire this is also nickel doped germanium silicon nano wire and so this corresponds to this schematic diagram. However, if you want to make a device you have to put a gate on top. So, on this what you do you make a hafnium oxide film this red one is the hafnium oxide film and that film actually separates the germanium silicon nano wire the blue nano wire from the top gate which you now put in you coat chromium aluminium on top which is of the order of 5 to 50 nanometers. So, this is called a top gated FET top gated field effect transistor and then if you look at the under the microscope now this picture will change like this picture where now you have got hafnium oxide on top and on top here above what you have got L this was pure silicon germanium nano wire now this region if you do an edax will actually show from the top chromium aluminium gold. So, the chromium gold is on top here and on the left and right you have got hafnium oxide film and then underneath you have got the substrate. So, now you can plot or you can measure currents I D is the current measured at the drain and V G is the voltage applied at the gate. So, this is the gate. So, the gate basically controls the flow of the charge carrier across the two electrodes which is the source and the drain and then you can see that depending on the gate voltage how the current is changing and not only how the current is changing with respect to gate voltage you can also see that depending on what kind of the voltage you apply at the drain and source the curves will start changing. So, if you have a very high negative bias. So, the high negative bias a minus 10 millivolts between the source and the drain if you apply then what is the current that you get at different gate voltages that is given by this plot and if you keep decreasing the negative value that means, you increase the voltage between the drain and the source if you increase the voltage from minus 10 the negative bias is now decreasing to minus 0.8 volts you move slowly from away from 0 gate voltage towards the shifting towards 0 gate voltage. So, you see that the current at the drain you can control you are changing the current value by changing the gate voltage as well as changing the voltage between the drain and the source. So, this kind of field effect transistors have already been made using nano wires and this is typical system with germanium silicon nano wire is a semiconductor nano wire based FET. Now, this is another example a bit different this is an example of metal nano wires which have applications in bar coding like you have several materials you in the shopping mall which are coded they are magnetically coded and then when you take it out for the when the slip on which the magnetic code is written in the form of a bar code is slided over a magnetic reader when it displays all the information of that material the price etcetera. Similarly, you have optical coders by you have to have a optical reader and when the bar code is placed on the optical reader it tells everything what is the information stored about that material. So, here is an example of a metal nano wire being used for application bar coding.  So, this entire rod is made up of gold and silver and we can write or code depending on say we want a code 0 1 0 1 then we have gold silver gold silver. So, like that if we have 2 nanometers of gold and then 2 nanometers of silver if we can design like that then when we read using optical spectroscopy it will tell us that this is made up of gold and silver in this ratio and then we can kind of understand what is the material based on the bar coding. So, bar codes like this can be made and how can they be made this is easy to see in the optical micrograph, but how do you make such nano wires where you have alternate elements to make a particular pattern. So, the way it is done is what we studied earlier it is a template method using electro deposition. So, you have a template. So, this is your template it is a alumina oxide membrane porous membrane and then you grow gold or silver within this template. So, this is a negative template because you are going to grow wires within the spaces. So, what you do in a particular case for example, if you in your first step you do an electro deposition with gold ions then first gold will deposit. The amount of gold will deposit will depend on how much charge you pass during the electro deposition. So, if you want to control the length of your gold because your diameter is fixed if you pass more charge the length will increase. So, as you see here if you pass a gold and the charge is say C coulombs you get some deposition and that is corresponding to this. So, this one is your first step you get gold here then you put silver corresponding to C coulombs you get next silver on top of gold everywhere you get silver on top of gold. So, two layers have now been deposited on the bottom layer then the third step you again put gold, but now you pass twice the amount of charge. So, what you will get you will get gold, but now gold will be twice that amount ok. So, like that you can continue. So, you will have different amount of gold, silver gold, silver depending on which ion you are depositing and how much charge are you passing. If you want a larger length of a particular metal you pass more charge. So, more amount of that metal will be deposited since the diameter is fixed only the length will change and that is how you see the barcodes are generated. So, this is one example this is another example where there are only three steps. So, initial the first let me clarify the first layer is already there when you make your template the first layer is already there. So, actually this light gray is then is your first step here gold. So, this light gray is gold then this dark one is silver and then again you get gold, but now twice the amount of gold and so this light gray is twice. In this case this template first has this dark gray spots. So, that is basically made up of your first metal which you have already put in your template, but now you are adding as your first layer gold and so that forms here the light gray is gold then you pass two twice the amount of charge of silver. So, you get a length which is more than what you get earlier now it is more than this and then you pass three times more than this. So, you get even a larger length of gold in this case. So, you can deposit different materials and different lengths and then you remove this and you get this free segments of the segmented nanowires. These are called segmented or striped nanowire based barcodes which you can study using optical microscopy and since silver and gold are easy to study they are very popular because they have a surface plasmon which can be easily studied using a UV visible spectrophotometer. Now, you can also make nanowires connected to nerve cells. So, this is an example where the nanowires have been corrected to neurons and this has been shown here. So, this is the nerve cell this is the axon and these are nanowires and then we can study their input and output and that is what is studied here there are 1 2 3 4 contacts on a nerve cell and we gave a stimulus.  So, when nanowire 4 is not connected we can see nanowire 1 shows a stimulus, nanowire 2 shows a stimulus and nanowire 3 shows, but nanowire 4 does not show anything because it is not connected to the neuron and this kind of studies are very important to understand the working inside our brain, where nanowires are being connected to nerve cells and then studying how the nerve cells behave under particular stimuli. Now, there can be many other studies of nanowires for example, applications for example, nanowires have been used to study the antibodies. So, you have nanowires and if antibody are functionalized then these antibodies which are specific to certain viruses will attract these viruses and when that happens there will be a change in the conductance and from the change in the conductance we can calculate how much virus is there in the environment. So, this kind of single virus detection by nanowires has also been done. So, this is what is being shown by single wire detection by nanowires. So, this is a silicon nanowire and there is this red dot is the virus. So, when that virus is on the wire that is the point 2 you get a signal when the nanowire is the virus is not on the nanowire that is point 3 you do not have a signal. So, this kind of things are very well known in the current age of nanotechnology and nanowires have played a very important role in this by this we come to an end of our studies on nanowires their synthesis and their applications and we will continue this course on nanostructured materials. Thank you very much.

Ama nita hangali ama nita eza. So whichever way you take it, it's up to you. Because I'm human. I lack. Na pia. Sio last man ikusahidi apia. You can't be there for everyone. This is the second time you're serving. After Kukua MCA the first time. Bona this other time. Hau kuwai for MP ama another chair ingine. First, I'm still young. Because Saindon mengia 33. I was elected around 26, 27. I was the youngest. So it was my first shot. God akawa kumka ingia. Wait, Kukua MCA to 26. Hei. Hei. Hei, ni God. Bago kiyangali api, because you're ni God too. I ni God ni God. So I gave it my first shot. Your time, ni kai ingia. So now I'm 23. So if once you imagine this, the maki field, your politics, it's very hard for me to get employed by anyone. So if you do your math wrong, then you're out. The only thing you can do is continue doing your businesses and wait for another time to give it a shot. And I also didn't want to chew too much that I can't swallow. Also because unanit pure woji giji. I have people who tried and actually I was advising them against. It's too early. At least give it another time. But it's a wrong move. We can't get it wrong. We can't get it wrong. We can't get it wrong. And then it needs a lot of resources, especially campaign resources. So if you do your math wrong, you're not yet there. So the best thing is it's easier maintaining where you are than. And also I believe as I achieved what I intended as an MCA, because mimi nili kwa na visioni, nikiwa nili kwa na visioni kwa transformim tata. Better than I found it. Yuhu mokitambu nili kwa gana malami, nili kwa it's a posh estate. I don't know what's going on, but over the years we grew up in a dilapidated ma pero etu, kijanga ma goro, ma trashi, ma changa kwa ni. So we got drainage covered in soil and baropias. So during the last time at least I managed to rehabilitate some. But sasa nili kwa na sama, because if I was able to do that much being a first timer, then what will I do if I get back re-elected? Nasa sana kuna experience, I know this door, this door, this door gives this. Speaking on that, I'd like to know your most proudest accomplishment. Amak tumefa niwa se umueni wana feelingi, anyo, this one? Election and make proud most nizo baro. Because as we speak umueni na kwa ga, especially the old umueni na kwa ga divided into around 10 sections because we kona CD E F G H J K L M N P Q. Q. 13 And out of the 13 last time I was able to do 6 and up to now I've been able to get at least all of them have a budget if not completed, have a budget. So here it's transformation in a series because I believe even in years to come nita kwa remembered wata kwa kumukaroro by they did this.  Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa... 2002 World Cup N worked for me and then byudge was Ronald, he was born in Brazil in two world cups, Pia Wutim ichezia balda, so when I got a nickname Ronald, and then came and embraced me as a kid. So Ronald was short in shape, I was in a role. So ichezia grau ilkwe ma topi, so he was chosen to be a black cotton. So, during the rains you couldn't play here. So, what happened? Sasa Ima decided I want to give it back to the community. Come back here and chill and see what is going on. I think maybe we can get 35. We have 1 for sure. So I think we can get professional footballers. I don't think we can hang boots because of their age. Maybe it's just a matter of we have it. But because we didn't have the infrastructure then na pata dena pia futbol kenya, aijaku wa embraced vile ya, because mimi ni mecheza na wachaza ji wengi wa kwa kwa premiere league akina moangi, akina odera used to play, ali kwa mbele hangu kido go akina aili we used to compete with them ya, watu wengi dando wa piwa piwa piwa so, speaking on futbol kido go to, nini ni, according to you, kwa zumecheza bol na jwa watu, mo na futbol ya kenya na struggle? futbol ya kenya na struggle jwa management management wako after themselves rather than the players because nifani sana watu watu hacheza aholi ya and then the prize money se jiko a few millions that after kijari buk calculate the expenses of the clubs doesn't make sense so i would say that the club size na participate too for pride ya, to kiko mbe to mecheza but futbol kenya na faitu mike 2 kama another any other professional kama doctorin because sports pay outside, we should embrace even even our neighboring countries, Uganda like Tanzania Tanzania has really done well in their uh sports, embracing sports atasisit na fata do the same so that because sikilam tu ana kwa game bariki wa kwa kwa books and then badot kisha angaliya job market yetu sikilam tuata mo nyana pita ana geti opportunity so why don't we enlarge the scope so that ata alu akuna talent to anezaan through sports and it's not only futbol ata basketball atanini if we pump in so much then and upon demutank kama gavana sakaja because he has really embraced sports na currently tuna pumping lots of money ku upgrade at least 30 across Nairobi kama sa itu na faya woodley woodley is being done a very nice stadium down down do yo in aisha inafanya kujesiwa malikot bero kua pia inafanya upgrade as we were supposed to have very many uh studies across the country doto zekuna cha boli anini yamcha clearly sakaja na faya good job but it doesn't take a kujwa how's your relationship with him because follow instagram you hang out with him a lot any boys any boys first ngevana itu na god pia linside ya pemi kakwa minipatia leadership ya county so as much as any boys in terms of how inakwa management ya county ya county pia na ideas pali ya because nge kia kavichiwa pamaudya that's when you come with great things because kilamitu kwa na monopoly of ideas ya so but you see there's a time you were attacked by goons na story had it story li kwa tena kaziya sakaja what was the problem ya li kwa pita na nipatia siyasa nipatia siyasa because I see killer time blend mkwambiata mkikonsol see killer time in the same wavelength sa zingine new pitana na sa zingine kama mawanahume muna decided you put your egos aside for the betterment of the electorate wana jwa electorate wata kisai juza wata kiku jwa wana ulizananini na muna muna fanyama muna kama wana wana wana so if I don't bring development in umum I suffer he suffers so for the betterment of maendelewa umutani we put those nini kanda so he li kwa nisi asa li siya pita but is it true did he send you goons li siya pita so it li siya pita li siya pita ayasawa you seem to be very stylish and I'd like to know how do you deal with pressure wana wake niki taga kupata ground kupata but your attention what keeps you focused badu pia it all comes down to your personality na pia wewa tu wiliuna jibaba na your attention emanishi anything pia na pia uku ena more roles especially because people look up to you nuki kambaya ikanairu ama demo taku zami so lazima uka e pia uku rada taji patatena uku ko head gamma ume trend so lazima pia uka ena uka ena na nini ume jipanga and then pia secondly so pia famili kwa jifu wane lewa siya sa wana shida wana nga nga na wana nga nga na wana nga nga na aju ni lazima 2a e lewa that's what is currently feeding them so ita bidi 2a e lewa also rumahazit that you have aju ni sime beef but your relationship with former MP teori is not very how true is that sheki imagine my best tattoo those are rumahaz as we've called them personal limits na issue na e I don't think he also has issues with me we talk as much as I'm concerned atuna na pia nuki kambaya tuni nga na ume it's similar to nga na ume men don't actually have issues with each other like women do kari na za kumapata mumikrosia na in one or two occasions but also enough kataimu na ya I like to know now when you're not working what do you enjoy doing apart from football also I run my businesses I have a firm that deals with clearing and folding at the JKI so also create time to go to the office and check how things are going ya so you're timing in a family me tempia ya ma boys so na pata gatu ati yufritemi nga muntumia sanasa na na ma boys mtani kupata tuni chesapu la pomta na pata tuni tuni kula ili tuni itaga kuna kajinasu ita ili tuni nga nia kukula itwa jemutu ita goni di kari mesawiyo jina matu kura jinasu ita ga because we share we share food we share food so na kwa gatu kila mtu na nespidi ya ke emsaidi nespidi ya ke emsaidi ya okay bili umere nizo 2 times unneza sema yutwa umo what is world struggle big is anani joblessness na at least inimu koneki try because during the first time wakatini lingia I used to approach companies like Naivas and wakani sa idea wakani employer also wakatikulu kuna vacancies kwa countipi eni ke zaku sa idea waka waka apply and then they went through the recruitment ya na watu onasoma na kuna job joblessness kitu bata at least ineza sema since 28 am ya pili governor at least nili come up kwanza na motion ya kujari buku ku early retirement because na patakawnti government ya Nairobi imu kuna too many old people jiri wezo times ya kitambu unge na unge pata eni waka waka kanja waka kukua rests waka otwa likuwaza so I came up with an early retirement motion na diskas na voluntari pili package send off na pay waka waka kukreti so many positions na ya kwanza tooka ya zaku employ around 3000 laborers ya kufanya drainage zusafi because umtani ya kukua kuzukia nga liya kama umo I had six na how six unu azeata singeza kua supervise ya but sa itu meza at least ku kwenda liya ku employ na currently sa i as of yesterday ndeli kua deadline ya another a thousand constables kua apply kua county so na pata not only in umoja but also Nairobi in general wata eza kubenefit from the same nama that was a complaint waka kusama easy offices a gavaz meza atu azea time sa changing unu azea kuna vitu pia wa elewi ya kitu ntika kwa mbia as we wind up vijana umo ta wami ane na apenda timrorororo timrororororo yende tim kubua the next big thing in town ya because sasa in future ndataka kutoka umoja ndi the county level actually I wanted to ask because you seem to be very visionia kuna yona you can see your vision clearly what's the goal eventually in politics want to be a future governor in like 10, 15 years so after I'm done with the mca I'll give it a try at the senate and then after the senate I'll give it a shot at the governorship of this county after that waziri yama ata running me to yama president from your atleast kiyopale raiz ndi ane ambiyoto ujama nbistiyanku ya ya it's all I believe kila kitu kila kitu as much as you try as much as you try you can get it because kuna him semo yo sema there's enough for every bird that lives the nest akunan degi utoka ga kwa nest inakosa kuru dina nacha kule me kula as long as you're not contented with where you are you're aiming higher you're able to achieve it as long as you give it a shot up to the humanly possible and then you can give it a cheer god boro me give it a shot the same women burugasana until tumezaku have this interview nipassisten to lena kosa keshweta kua also I see you in church a lot is it your way of giving back to the society am I just a spiritual person me na penda god because malin me fikani god ya looking at my background and me safa me safa nol kwa msiya 26 ya because you know the suffering is a childhood suffering is a childhood the way you've been brought yuki onama struggle because kuna kama say yuki onani kipigaluku me paralasara a day after class 8 kuna umbangu nangaliya through the journey from where I've come that's yung doktu mu shukuru mu shukuru god mi yata kusoma kumalizachu sayko nigod

other degree in psychology and counseling but ksiya ya why psychology and counseling because in the line that I'm in to look for a cause that ina nisa idea kuri late na watu because ina taka una jumtu na kukujiya nama shidazake because you might not help them but you can give them utajotu wili unazawa guide ya and then pain kwa kiyangaliya kitu piya piya ita ni take c-complexa so add to my to my CV

that's it from me thank you so much for speaking to us my name is Ndanya and this is SPM Baz


Hi everybody, I'm Percy from England.   Good boy. That's my boy My truck is extra staticky today.  It's snapping my truck is very shocking this morning. Good morning. How you doing? We're in Johnson's Creek Wisconsin keep wanting to say Johnson's Creek, Michigan. It's Battle Creek, Michigan.  They're expecting us there at 11 a.m. I wanted to get loaded much earlier than that because it's Christmas and I want to go home But that's okay. This is better than going all the way home empty So instead of losing about $500 in fuel I get paid to go home for Christmas And then I get paid after Christmas as well as deliberate. So Let's get this show on the road. I Want to get home. We have a Christmas gathering tomorrow And I'm gonna be a little late by the looks of it. I was late for it last year, too It's my in-laws gathering. It's my wife's mom's side. I think I was late for it last year as well But I made it I was there So I don't want to be as late this year I Wanted to be there on time. You know, let's just stop talking about it.  Let's get there Here we go ladies and jelly beans 94 East Milwaukee this way Better stay green better stay green Morning you all right easy bud. You had a red light just about ran into me Let's get our freight So our Christmas gathering tomorrow apparently starts at about one o'clock. I Pick up my freight here Milwaukee my appointment at 11 I'm hoping he's not gonna take more than two hours to get loaded and tied down And then we're 24 hours to get home It's gonna be tight. I'm gonna be late for the gathering. I'm just hoping I'm not gonna be that late So I want to bring Want to make diesel home this road for 44 kilometers and then Show up there in my pickup And I have a chance to shower or change at home But that's that's a little ways out of the way yet Like I told Britt, I can't really make any promises or say what's gonna happen until tomorrow or until tonight, maybe After at least find out how long it's gonna take to get loaded. I hope it's not gonna be complicated I called them yesterday and they said it's gonna be pallets It's not like pallets of snow clearing equipment Like okay, well if it's on pallets, that sounds like it'll be pretty quick to load and tie down But if it's snow clearing equipment, I mean is that gonna be like a snowplow? I got a chain down I mean that wouldn't take too long either, but No idea what to expect. I've never been here Once again trucking flying by the seat of our pants. Let's just see what happens Just finished loading here took uh longer than we wanted it to but I think you'll understand why This first part has to be tarped That's going to bc This is all going to bc that's going to bc bc bc this is going to alberta these yellow things And everything on the back here is going to the sketch one so uh Yeah, it took a little while I don't know what it all is but snow clearing equipment these are plows obviously Time to go Let's go home for Christmas Took me a little while to tie it down so they got me to go park here in front of this dock Now I gotta figure out how to get out of here So I'm gonna back up a little bit You're definitely not overweight. I'm not even close. I'm not worried about that That took a lot of equipment. That was a Miss-mashed load a little bit of this little bit of that Uh, that wasn't very fun, but hey it's better than Going all the way home empty for Christmas, right? Do not enter. Okay, we should probably not go down this way then. Okay, do not enter Okay, keep backing up here Go the other way. I know you can't see where I'm backing up Neither can I I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding My car away in here This would have been a good time for the head cam, but too late for that now You can't decide this other truck that's here One thing that's good about the Volvo it turns on a dime And I've got a very short wheelbase so I can pretty much get in and out everywhere There we go This way Diesel we found the right way. What can you do? We're gonna get out of the city here We're in Milwaukee north Milwaukee right on the north side of the city Or our first rest area or truck stop or something. I need to grab a coffee anyway I'm gonna check all our straps and our securement job Open says a me Trucker Josh wants to go home for Christmas out of the way Barbed wire. They really don't want people coming in here It's funny. We got a bi-l or snow plow coming from all the way down here. They don't even have snow here Which way do I want to go? Right? I want to go to the right Paper work Here we go diesel In 100 meters turn left on north 76th street Man Good thing this little pay is pretty decent. I'm gonna have to babysit this load quite quite a bit on the way home Make sure that nothing's shifting moving around It's not my favorite Not my favorite load to pull that's for sure Making our way out of the city Keeping our eyes open for a place to pull over and check our load everything looks good in my mirror From what I can see My tarps I need to tighten up a little bit though. They're they're a little bit poofy on the highway and that poofy tarps The wind gets In underneath there and at highway speeds it it poofs it up and when it gets all poofy I can't see around it to see the rest of my load in my mirrors So I gotta tighten that down a little tighter It's not like it's a big problem. It's just enough so that I can't see behind there I mean, I'm sure people would be honking at me by now if something was falling off, right? I'm confident in how I tied it down. It's not going anywhere, but I still need to stop here somewhere and uh It's been about 20 minutes.   Look at that thing. Well, look at it. I wonder where the remote control is I was so excited when tesla said they were making a pickup truck. I was so pumped And then the cyber truck was revealed. I don't want a door stop. What is that? I don't want a futuristic looking truck.  You know what I mean? I want it to look like a look at this thing right here on the left That's a dodge I'll I take that over the cyber truck. All right That at least looks like a truck I know he's like he's trying to challenge our perception of what pickup trucks look like You know, don't do that. No, I'm happy with the way pickup trucks look Just give me a pickup truck. I don't want this. What is that big triangle? I understand why they did it like they had to build it because it's an exoskeleton truck It doesn't have an actual frame like a regular pickup And they have to make it that triangle The same reason why the Honda ridgeline when it was originally released It had to have that triangle that sort of little arc That supports that when you put Weight in the back or when you tow a trailer that supports the frame Because it's an exoskeleton. So it's for strength reasons. There's a reason why it's a triangle It's not just to look dumb. It actually has functionality. I just think it looks dumb I think the the the dumb lookingness of it outweighs the functionality of it I just want a truck so I don't know maybe they'll make some Some adjustments the Rivian truck looks really nice, but the Rivian trucks too small. That's like a mid-size I don't want a mid-size. I want a man. I want I want a full size four by four I want something that will turn heads But at the same time will look good. They'll turn heads for the right reasons, right? I don't want a I don't have a vehicle that turns heads because people are like laughing at me or wondering what that is I want them. I want to be turning heads because it looks that good Wow, I've never seen that before that is a nice looking truck That thing looks tough Like that Toyota over there that white one that looks like a truck Like ah, we've talked enough about it. I got I went on a rant. That's my rant for today. You're welcome Still looking for a place to park here. There's got to be a rest area soon Now we could always pull into Johnson's Creek. That's where we started the day Got a truck here beside me. So I mean if something was going on with my freight He'd be flashing his lights at me waving around trying to get my attention and so I know I know trucker Josh. This is why you need a cb radio I know there are there are good reasons of why the cb radio is useful. I just don't use mine I haven't plugged it in in like seven years Oh, there was a truck stop in there. Oh, I did not go in there You need a bigger sign, but I didn't even know you were there until it was too late Oh go to the next one It's good to have a cb radio. I know I was a little hard on the cb radio People the other day I personally I do think it's outdated technology. That's just my own opinion though, but it it still has good uses And it's still a good idea to have one if you want one. I don't want one Can't understand anybody on there. Anyways What and it is English You know it's English because you understand like every like sixth word, but for some reason whenever someone picks up a cb radio They turn into like deep south lazy and a mississippi Southern drawl to the max like no one can understand what you're saying, buddy. You have wisconsin plates. Come on Pronounce your words proper.   I don't care. I don't care. I'm having a cookie. I'm having two ginormous cookies Oh, I walked in there and they're baking fresh cookies and stuff in there right now, right? And oh, I walked in there and it smells like christmas in here That's one thing I sort of noticed about in the u.s Everyone's much more individual individualistic like if you go into a store and say something like it smells like christmas in here Everyone sort of just looks at you kind of weird and like, all right. All right, cool. Yeah They don't say anything really Whereas in canada people would more so be like, yeah, it's awesome. Hey jb. It's just my own personal experience It's almost christmas. I'm eating cookies all diets are on hold for the rest of december just saying No diet counts during christmas. It's christmas Eat the cookies I want to get far enough today that I don't have to stop for my half hour break tomorrow So I want to get closer than eight hours to the border That's just a waste of a half hour if I don't have to stop Turn right and 50 meters There's a truck there now Because yeah, every eight hours you got to stop for a half hour break in the u.s Right, but that's not a law in canada. So if I go to like let's say only have six hours to the border tomorrow Well, I'm gonna stop for my half hour. Let's go to the border and then as soon as I cross the border I don't have to stop for my half hour anymore Save myself a half hour. So I want to get at least under eight hours To do to go tomorrow, which shouldn't be a problem. I have like eight almost nine hours available to me today yet I will have to stop for my half hour today though Turn right and then turn right and 80 meters. This wasn't it yet. I'll stop later because uh Really, we're just getting our day started even though the sun's going down already We're just pretty much getting rolling here. I noticed that as soon as I got onto the highway There were cars that were flashing their high beams from the other side of the road at this side of the road It was clear That they were warning us of uh Policeman up ahead went over the crest of the hill and there he was pointing his radar gun at us I got to thinking I've talked with us before is why are they warning us that there's a cop there If one of these people around me here on this side of the highway are child traffickers who just kidnapped a child Right before christmas. How tragic would that be? And they're going a little bit too fast and had you not warned them They would have been pulled over by the police and that child would have been saved and got to go home and spend their Their christmas with their family Or just gone home Instead of being trafficked who knows you know the kidnapped kids here. They bring them down to mexico They smuggle them across and you never see them again take away their passport and they're stuck there Seem to think that warning people that there's a photo radar or a radar guy up ahead is helping It's necessary if people are speeding let them get pulled over you shouldn't be speeding You know you warn everybody that there's a cop up ahead You know the bad people see you're warning too and they go. Thank you very much. I could have gone to jail right there you know I've always thought of that. Why are people warning people that there's a cop up ahead?  So they're not going to get pulled over Now that's the way I see it. How do you guys see it? I'll leave the vlog on that No, I think that's a good point of discussion because everybody Uh got upset. Well, there's people that got upset last time I said stop warning people of cops When I explained it in that way does that change your mind at all? Let me know down below in the comments I never warned people that there's a a cop up ahead So if you're speeding well, you're speeding Good morning, you fine person you sitting there on your phone Clicked on truck or josh great choice Great choice. Don't forget to click that subscribe button while you're here making new video every day So to right now we're screaming down the highway towards home. We're getting home for Christmas We're gonna be home for about a week. So get ready for some home time footage Probably missing a few days here and there because it's Christmas You're watching this after Christmas already probably closer to new years So I hope you had a good Christmas and I hope you have a happy prosperous new year I got as far as I could last night yet and we're doing the rest now I've got a family gathering with my wife's mom's side This afternoon they start at one, but they're eating at four I'm gonna get back to work around one as long as I don't get hung up at the border or anything And then I got to go home And then go to the city so I'll probably be there around four o'clock just in time for the food I hope they don't think that I'm just showing up to eat Hang out a little while after that was that would be Christmas number two We got Christmas number three on the 24th with my family With my my mom and dad's house. We got Christmas day morning with me and Britt That Christmas day afternoon and evening with Britt's dad side I think that's it for Christmases. What is it? That's one two Three or five Christmases, that's it and I've got his boxing day and Home till After Christmas and then we started heading towards Saskatchewan, Alberta and ending off in British Columbia We are now across the line from north of the border Welcome to canada across the line There's now officially nothing standing between us and Christmas other than a bit of pavement And this guy good thing I can go around him So uh past the border we're through the border no no hold-ups there The scale was closed no hold-ups there.  So I shouldn't get pulled over. There shouldn't be any more delays To get home for Christmas Getting home a little earlier than I thought I would so that's a little surprise Thought it was going to take a little longer and it'll be a few more delays, but no Father Christmas is watching out for me Getting me home So I have this freight beneath me I've got the first drop in Saskatoon Saskatchewan Second drop in Atchison, Alberta. That's just west of Edmonton right close to the west Edmonton mall there where we were at the other day And then from there ahead on down to the lower mainland down to the south western corner of the country vancouver British Columbia Me down on no escort It's a different world out there man. I'll tell you what it's like a different country Totally different as soon as you get past hope bc you get into that lower bowl mainland You get past I'd say Abbotsford is the last recognizable city and you get into Vancouver. Suddenly you're like, what is this? When did I teleport? It's just different it's it's it's different really different, but hey I don't think Christmas is as big as a as big of a celebration down there by We'll convert them yet Christmas is the best time of year So you're watching this probably closer to the new year. I hope you had a very merry Christmas And I hope that you have a happy prosperous new year The lot under me they want in the new year So I'm not too sure when we're gonna leave with it yet Got to get a hold of them and figure things out create delivery appointments For now, uh, we're just concerned about getting home. Like I said, there's nothing standing between us At home now other than this pavement in front of us And the law saying I can't go faster than this
