Ten minutes to the deadline. One second. It's not very nice.  I'll spare another one. That's right. Two minutes to the deadline. Wait, Moron, is this one done? I don't know. You don't know yet. Oh, I feel the love. How'd it look? No, it haven't actually. It looked nothing that much. Anyone get a solo? No, there was one. My call got one. Solo? I think that's the first one he's ever had. And let's see, there were a couple of people who were close. Eddie Bresson I think probably could have if he tried to. Or if he played it a little longer. He was satisfied with taking it dry, I think, and wanted to leave his options open for later in the tournament maybe. Six more games to go? Yeah, so sometimes some people prefer to not do too well the first game because they're afraid everyone will know they did so well and then people get ganged up on later. We really need to figure out a prize to give to Mr. Chris Martin because he went ahead and did the best line that I've heard in a while. He set this table over here and it looks like James is talking. He's talking to his name.  You can't mess with me. I just know better than you. Thank you guys. He has been to the forend that they show any poker.com sites that's advertising, again, illegal in any state. So they actually went around, they did a tour inside out. Well, they had guys without the tape. And they called all the poepers and they said, hey, we need .NET. Stop.NET hat. That's what they did. That's why we're on .NET. Well, you can't support with AGM? 30 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, deadline. 1, 3, 2, 1, deadline.


Hey guys, Vladimir here with Desktop Makes. Welcome to our third and final installment here in this series of modeling a rack and pinion assembly. So in the last two videos I showed how we created all the parts you see here, the three different components, creating a spur gear and then using that to create a rack here. So in this final lesson I'm going to show you how you can add joints and motion links here to be able to allow the turning of the spur gear to go ahead and move the rack back and forth and put that relationship together. So right now as you can see I have a mask component so I can freely move these and when you do that make sure to always come back here and click on the revert position to bring everything back otherwise if you click on capture position it's going to go ahead and move that location. All right, before we jump in though there was one question I received that I wanted to address and that was from I'm going to say yeah, Usafa 1987. Good stuff, I'm enjoying this series. One critique, it wasn't obvious why you were making the pin as a separate body. I assume it is to be able to 3D print the base without supports but if you mentioned this reason I didn't hear it. Okay, that's actually a great point. I completely forgot to mention why I was doing that. What Usafa is referring to is if I untoggle the rack here and the spur gear you can see in my base component I have that as two separate bodies, the pin and the rest of the base here. He is exactly correct. It was in order to be able to 3D print this and I'll show you what I mean here. Let's jump into Prusa Slicer. But I send this to 3D print as one piece. I've got a few options on how I can lay it out. If I print it like this then I have to go ahead and enable supports to be able to support the pin here, which I want to avoid. Let's say if I turn it on its back like this then I don't need supports for the pin but I will need supports on the bottom here. Maybe I've got another option here where I can lay it on its sides like this but then I need supports for the pin here. I did try this out and as far as my options were I figured my best orientation would be like this and not do supports for the pin but have it for this sort of overhang here. It worked okay but the problem is that I would then have to clean up supports. Let me just show how that looks here. Supports everywhere and then if I slice that. So this right here, all the supports needed to be cleaned up and I was able to pull it out and clean it up. But the problem is you didn't get a rough finish over there then you do have to do some additional work to try to sand that and it's just extra work and if you don't get it perfectly right then the rack just doesn't move smooth back and forth as it travels across and you create extra friction there. So I wanted to avoid that as well. So what I decided to do was then to just go ahead and separate the two and print them in separate pieces. So if I click on the model here I'm going to go ahead and split to objects and here you can see we have the two different parts here. So now the pin can print perfectly fine like this without supports and what I can do with the rack is I can turn it and here let's see I can either you know flip it in this direction and that would print fine without supports or I can also flip it in this direction here and print that fine without supports. So that's the reason why I did decide to go ahead and split these out. If I can design my way out of supports I will normally do that. That's usually my first option is just to try to either separate the design into different parts or add sometimes it only takes like a filler or a chamfer to be able to get it to 3D print without supports. So yeah if you can design your way out of using supports I would definitely recommend that and that's what I did here. All right let's go back to Fusion now we'll continue with this design here. So what we're going to do is add some joints and since I modeled everything in place I can go ahead and take advantage of my Asbuild joint. So here you'll notice you've got a joint option and then you've got an Asbuild joint option. Now the nice thing about Asbuild joints is if you design your components in place you can just go with Asbuild joints and it makes the process a little bit more simple. So I'll simply click on Asbuild joint. Oh one thing you have to do before and I always kind of forget this and have to go back and do it you have to ground one of your components before you start adding joints because you have to tell Fusion which one is not moving and so we're going to ground the base here because that's the part that's going to be staying still. So I'm going to go here to my components I'm going to grab the base right click and go ground you'll see a little red pin there okay so now I can't move the base. Now I go back to assemble Asbuild joint I'm going to choose my two components I'm going to choose my spur gear and I want that joint around this pin here of the base so it doesn't matter where I click as long as I click on that component and I'm going to change my motion here to Revolut because that's the kind of joint that I want and the third thing I need to do is to tell it the axis of rotation so here I'm going to go and if you click you'll see I can select you know either the circle or the center point and it puts that little flag right in the center if you just like over your mouse it says select the snap point to define the joint origin I'll click there and now you can see that the spur gear starts spinning around that pin you can click here to preview motion and I'll click okay that looks good all right next we're going to go back and add a slider joint to the rack here so assemble Asbuild joint again same thing I'm going to select my two components I'm going to choose my rack and then choose the base and I'm going to go to motion and change it to slider now with the slider what you have to do then is tell it the where you want it to slide or give it the edge you want it to slide about so here if I kind of hover over an edge you'll see it'll show I'm going to snap to that middle point and if again I let go of the mouse it says select a snap point to define the joint origin so I'm going to click right on that edge right on that point where the arrow kind of shows the direction and now I've got that motion so there we have it we have the rotational and the translational here the slider perfect but one thing we can see here is we are defying some laws of physics so let's go ahead and fix it so that they interact with each other and to do that we're going to go back to assemble and we're going to select motion link now the motion link so if you just kind of read there it says defines rotational and translational relationship between joint degrees of freedom select the joints then specify the values okay the important thing to remember with motion link is you set it between joints and not between components if you try to click on the components nothing happens you have to go to your browser here and tell it which joints do you want to set the relationship with so here we want a relationship between the revolute the spur gear here and the slider the rack and you can see it happening there I'm gonna delete that for a second because it remembered my last value there but usually you see something like this it's just kind of spinning like crazy it's kind of hard to see what's happening because it's going so fast but if you look at this dialogue box you see you have your two different joints your revolute and your slider and it's asking you for every 360 degrees here of your revolute what is the distance that you want your slider to travel and you can change this angle if you want but it's you know I'll leave it at 360 and mix the math easier so for every 360 of this spur gear how far do I want it to travel well if you remember from our last lesson and the last video I did we kind of figured that out and that really just becomes the circumference of that pitch diameter circle you can go back and see the math in my last video but here we just have to type the formula for circumference it's going to be the diameter times pi now we determined that our diameter was 48 millimeters so we just typed that in times pi which we can just write as capital P capital I and then just click okay now we can see that these perfectly match up and you can tell if you kind of just zoom in here you know how if you go to the last gear that that's perfectly lined up you know and then you kind of go to the other side you can see that you're still perfectly lined up you know if there was any error there this would start to travel and your gears would start to interfere so perfect one thing I do want to show you let's go back to that motion link here in edit feature if you ever have it going the opposite way like let me just click that reverse button where you turn your spur gear one direction and the gear goes the opposite direction you see here it's not going in the correct direction you just click that reverse button let's go back here edit feature just you either check or uncheck the reverse and that'll fix that okay so that's how we get our joints and our motion links in place one last thing I'll do is we can see I can keep turning this and that rack will keep moving let's go ahead and set some motion limits and to do that let me revert position and go back to our slider joint here we're going to right click and go to edit joint let's zoom in here so what we're going to do is go ahead and check minimum and maximum here and we can just move these little flags so I'm going to start moving this out an important thing is you want your smaller number to be on the minimum your maximum number maximum sounds obvious but it can mess you up if you do it the opposite way and pay attention to the negative right the negative number is always going to be the smaller number so I'm going to take this out here I'm going to go just pick an extent and I can just drag this to where I want this to stop showing me negative 69.235 I'll just make that a nice even negative 69 and then I'm going to take this white flag here move it in the opposite direction and I'll just go the same distance in the opposite direction so let's make this 69 but positive 69 you can click preview limits to see that that works out and now if I click okay and I can start pushing the rack one way and it's just going to hit a stop at both ends so it doesn't keep traveling you know and I can either move the rack or I could move the gear here and both will stop when it reaches those limits okay that concludes this series and creating a rack and pinion assembly as I said before I've got a few designs in mind that I want to be able to apply this mechanism and this just understanding this part of creating it is going to go a long way in understanding how my designs are going to work all right and the final thing to do here is to print this out and see if this actually works in real life as it does in the cat environment here so this is really going to be where we get to find out if our hard work and efforts here translate to to real life so let's go ahead and 3d print this and see what happens all right I hope you enjoyed this series if you did let me know below if you want to see more content like this

That's the type of place you want to have somebody else's boat take out through. You know what I want to do a loop around that funny wetland? That's salt pond, yeah. So that would be counterclockwise to the left. Roger? Okay, unusual. So occasionally that gets flooded and then it happens there's an evaporating pond there. There's a strange alkali plant. I was asking Randy and Dorothy whether they found out in some of their ethnographic stuff. This is all a salt source. You know as a salt source. They had the lowest. Lodos here. They had the lowest. Park area. They had the lowest. Now we're in St. Trinna. And there's eelgrass down below us. Very complex shoreline. There's an eelgrass bed. But inside the old land with the helicopter. Fimley sand. Then a narrow eelgrass bed over here. But it goes all along here. Commercial fish boats tied up in the road. Let's do a loop. This is a little bit of riprap around the edge there. Salt flat itself. That's good. Flat itself is quite clear. There's a heron tracks across there. Good view of the eelgrass bed. The eelgrass and the alphabos. We're losing that eelgrass bed. There is a drape of the pond in the bedrock. There's that incredibly slippery. Some type of drape of biogenic sand also. Some of it's bleached. Of course. This upper sparse patch. Beach here. It's got a fluffy wall. Besides slipping and stuff. We can just fly straight corners and stuff. It's left on this tape.


Now today's operating segments, let's see the objective and before objective we learn outcomes. Students will be able to understand what is meant by the term operating segment. How to determine operating segment and learn how to prepare condensed segment financial statement. The objective of reporting segment did financial data is to provide information about the different types of business activities. Here you need an explanation as I said earlier also that if you have a composite unit of text type, so starting from yarn manufacturing, then cloth manufacturing, then uniform expect manufacturing. There are three different segments, so if you want to see for each segment how much profit and loss they are making, because in each segment there is investments involved, assets involved, liabilities involved, so we need to see. Another example is the university, in the university there are so many departments, so each department can be a segment, so if you want to see which department is making how much profit they are making, how many assets they are involved, so we can have it. Similarly, this segment can be you have a business, let's say in Lahore, you have a business in Sialkot also, you have a business in Kujaramala also, so that can also be again a segment geographically. So these segments mean, so information about the different types of business activities in which entity engage and the different economic environments in which it operates. This means geographically, segment reporting allows to users to make better informed assessment of the risk profile of a business, if you want to see which particular business is making profit or loss, so accordingly we can adjust, sometimes it happens a segment is not making any profit, so we want to get rid of it, we just sell it off, so that's why we need a segment reporting. Even in one building, you know, like so you can have a different floor and each floor done by one company, but on each floor they have a different businesses, so what we do we work it out, each business segment reporting, segment reporting does not require the allocation of interest expense between the segment, because a loan is taken for the business itself, not by segment, so we do not segregate how much interest to be charged to the segment a segment b or segment c, no. They may require general difficulties and ambiguities in allocation, elements such as assets to different segment, another important thing, the allocation of assets to each segment, you know we want to see for each segment how much profit we are making and how much we have invested, but that for that matter you need a profitability and you need assets involved in those segment, so it's a whole, itself it's a business itself, but again it's on the top, there is one company having different businesses. Most groups of entities, now group of entities means simply there is a parent company who owns other companies, so each company is become a segment basically in that case, so they want to see that if a b c company a hold b or c, so let's see how b and c is performing. In defining segments and allocating assets and liabilities, it is common to find that segment information includes amount for unallocated expenses assets and liabilities, then when we prepare this segment reports, so we have to show if there is any unallocated liabilities or asset, because at the end of the day we need to reconcile the whole business total assets and total liabilities, then the question arise how much to segment a, how much to segment b and how much to segment c, so we need to reconcile towards the end of it, then IFRS 8 does not prescribe how the centrally incurred expenses and assets should be allocated to segments, this is very important here, you know there are centrally, for example chairman office expense, there are three segment a b c, how those expense of the chairman office will be allocated to a b c, that's the question mark, it's not that easy, it's a difficult thing, however allocation of cost to expenses in an area where the basis chosen by an entity can be significant effect on the segment results, for example there is a fixed cost, you pay fixed cost for the entire building and there are three segments in that building, question arise how to allocate, better it is the area occupied, you can allocate it, that can be possible, but there are certain other cases where you cannot, IFRS however does require that amount to be allocated on the reasonable base, if at all you need to allocate you must find out the reasonable basis, not straight away, 10% no, make sure that for example you want to allocate it, take the sales of it, take the sales ratio and then total per ratio, divide the appeals in different segments, it is not necessary that you must be clear that reasonable base and allocate on its base, if you want to, if you don't need to allocate, you can allocate it, thank you very much.


This week, CMP responds to Sailor's Concerns about proposed BAH changes, an essay contest for Sailors carrying a $3,000 prize and clips from my interview with the chair of this year's Joint Women's Leadership Symposium. Alright, first, I know that many of you have heard that the Senate Armed Service Committee has a proposal that has the potential to affect the ability of dual military families to draw BAH for each service member. This has caused some concern. Many of you wrote us at USM People or shared concerns on social media and CMP wanted to address these concerns. Thanks to your feedback and the comments that are very instructive. We've included that in our formal response, many of those comments in our formal response to Congress and they'll have a chance to consider that before they make any formal vote on the authorizations bill. So I just want you to know we've got it back here and you can be assured that we'll continue to watch out for your interests. And in the meantime, stay focused in the fleet, stay focused on your mission and on being safe and we'll keep you informed as this thing progresses. Now, this week is the Joint Women's Leadership Symposium. This is a forum for military leaders to share their knowledge, network and discuss the challenges affecting the fleet. And these discussions are very influential. Last year when CMP was at the symposium, he heard Sailors voice the need for expanded CDC hours, more maternity leave and more access to gyms. And last month, in SECNAV's personnel announcement, it included all those initiatives. So this week, I spoke with Lieutenant Commander Rosie Gashinsky to talk about what to look for this year. So this year, we focused on progress and possibilities and brace our future now. And what that is focused on is the integration of women into all billets in the Navy, specifically into all operational forces as well as special forces. And we want to understand the impacts as well as moving forward the kinds of things that we can do to move ourselves forward down the court, so to speak. You can watch the full interview on Navy Live. Next up, the Naval Institute has an essay contest open to all enlisted sailors. You can win $3,000 for first place. The theme is broad. Any topic that makes the naval profession stronger, 1,500 words. Winning entries will also be published, so this is a great opportunity to bring attention to an issue or an idea that's important to you and earn a little recognition. So think about it. You have plenty of time. The deadline is Halloween. Last episode, we got some great questions in the comments and we responded to them. So keep them coming. The comment section is open for business. Now that's it for the Chief of Naval Personnel. I'm MC108 for Breezeo. Thanks for watching.


Live from the Javits Center in New York City, it's theCUBE, covering Inforum 2017. Brought to you by Inforum. Welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of Inforum 2017. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, Dave Vellante. We're joined by Dharaj Shah. He is the CEO of Avap. Thanks so much for joining us. You're a CUBE veteran, so welcome back, I should say. Absolutely, not a rookie anymore. Right, right, right. So Avap is a major strategic partner within Inforum. So just walk us, tell our viewers a little bit more about the relationship and where we are. Absolutely, Avap's been a partner with Inforum now for the last six years, and prior to that we're awesome. We've certainly come a long way. We started it 11 years ago as a single individual. Last year when we were here, we were here as a platinum sponsor, and the big announcement this year is we're a diamond sponsor, so it doesn't get larger. And at great stage presence, and one of the big announcements we had this year was GoLive with Inforum's new CloudSuite financial. The first customer to go live on that, Palos Health, was actually an Avap customer that we brought live in landlords. And they were mentioned in the keynote. Yes, Roger was on main stage, gave a great presentation, and what we centered our belief in is you have the enterprise software provider, which is Inforum in this case, you have the system integrator, which is Avap, and then you have the customer. For any successful outcome, you need all three of these to really partner and do well, and that's what was exhibited with Palos. I'm always interested in companies that place bets on an ecosystem and a leader of that ecosystem. It is somewhat obscure, certainly was six years ago. I mean, I saw this in the ServiceNow community, a hot company growing like crazy, and I saw early on companies like yours in their community said we're going to make a bet, and they've done very well, they've succeeded wildly, been acquired by Accenture and CSC, so maybe great things ahead in your future, but take us back to the decision to bet on Infor. What led to that decision? Absolutely, I mean, looking back is always great, right? Then you know the bets have paid off, but when you make them, it's not the same. Our business was prior to 2012, when we made this decision, was centered around Lawson, we had some staff augmentation business, and we had a MicroStrategy BI business. And in 2011, Infor acquired Lawson. And when Infor acquired Lawson, there was a huge amount of apprehension in the customer base, because everybody was thinking here comes the external team that's going to come and highlight the customer base.  Yeah, so that's what they're going to do. I had the opportunity to listen to Charles and his executive team in one of their first meetings, and Charles was very clear in his vision. He said two things I want to focus on. One, build software that's easy to use, that's beautiful, and that's not upgraded every year. And the second thing was industry focus. Now six years ago, you look at the enterprise software platforms, SAP, Oracle, nobody had industry focus. It was the same piece of software, one size fits all. And Charles came in and said industry specific software. So we bought into that vision, and we said this is going to be a huge opportunity in the ecosystem, and fast forward six years. You know, we were about 20 people at that time as an entire company. We have 25 people here at Inforum. More people just attending, and 450 consultants globally now.   That was not a way to, you know, make the big dollars, right? And so, it is still was a sort of a somewhat risky bet. It definitely was, because it seems we were much smaller back then, but still to shut down those businesses over night, and I still have the letter that we wrote to our customers and our employees, and said, we believe in this. And that belief has really catapulted both our organizations. It's really helped Infor, and it's helped AVAP to kind of, and that's one of the lessons I learned as an entrepreneur. That wonderful things happen when you focus and build really strong partnerships. So that letter will someday be in a museum, I'm sure. Oh, I think we, from your mouth to God's ears. But let's talk about that, that easy to use, beautiful software that is transforming specific industries. Let's talk about retail. Yes, absolutely. So retail was a huge announcement last year, when they announced they're going to go after Infor as a company and build a new vertical. We invested alongside them as they are single largest partner to go and give support. What they were doing around retail is multiple things. Because prior to this, what Infor had was the ERP platform. Financials, human capital management. What they wanted to invest is rewrite the merchandising system, which is at the heart of a retailer not been done for the last 20 years. And they are rewriting and made an announcement with the best retailer Whole Foods. And that project kind of kicked off. The second piece they did was they filled in a gap with merchandise, financial planning, assortment planning by buying a company called Predictix. So AVAP kind of went ahead of it. And we started projects alongside them over the last year. And now we're independently going to market. So Payless, we just signed a contract to implement merchandise, financial planning for them. And then the final leg to this will be the point of sales, which will be Star Mount, which is another system that they acquired. And now the whole story on retail is coming in. Because as we hear, retail's really getting hurt. And there's a huge technology change happening in the marketplace. Well, and then now does GT Nexus fit into that as well in terms of compressing the, you know, if you're built to order kind of, somebody was given an example of a couch today, you know, you order a couch from some retail store and it takes 12 weeks to deliver. We've all been there. Does it fit into that equation? You know, it does because there's a whole shipping, receiving and the point of contacts through that, that kind of comes into the play there. And GT Nexus, as you saw on the stage today, the amount of traffic that's being used through GT Nexus, it's going to help a lot of the retailers from all they're receiving and mobile supply chain functionality. I mean, it's a real consumer frustration. You order something and you wait and you wait and you wait and you're excited and all of a sudden weeks later you get the notification, sorry, it's going to either be delayed or sorry, we can't deliver that. So that's just lost revenue. I mean, how many times does that happen? And when you go to a website, it's a different order. When you go to a mobile page, it's a different order. When you go into the store, it's a different order. So bringing all of that together for their single back office user experience is really what is going to transform the user experience to your point. So speaking about another industry or user experience, and this is more important than buying a couch, let's say your health. So this is another way in which in foreign AVAP are really transforming the way we shop for medical care. So give us an example of what you're doing. Absolutely, we're very passionate about healthcare. So healthcare is our largest vertical by size. So about 75% of our business is in healthcare. And Infor has a large presence, two thirds of the hospitals in the nation use Infor for their ERP software.  We were talking retail earlier. When you go into a retail store and you want to buy a piece of clothing, you know what it's going to cost you to purchase that. And the store knows what their cost is for that. Cause everything's coming from a single system. In hospitals case, there are two key systems. We have EHR, which is the electronic medical system. And you have your ERP, which is your back office system. Your revenue comes from your EHR system, which is typically an Epic or a Cerner. And your cost information comes from your loss in system, which is 75% of the time Infor. They don't talk to each other. Now, the acquisition of BIRST gives a tremendous opportunity for us to connect the two systems together, bring that data forward so the hospital operators know at the time of admission and check out what was the revenue and what was the cost so they could do margin analysis. So that you can see how that benefits the hospital, but it also benefits the customer. In the end of the day, absolutely, because patient outcome is what's at the heart of all the changes that we're driving towards. And when there's a lot, you know, we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars that hospitals are burning in inefficient systems right now. And if that's saved, where is that going to go? Towards better care. And that's where dollars need to be focused, not in holes that need to be plugged in technology. So DRes, explain where EVAP specifically adds value. Where do you pick up from the technology that Infor provides? Absolutely, so prior to a year ago, our focus was just on the Infor side of the platform with ERP. And a year ago, we acquired a company called Falcon Consulting, best in class, top category leader for Revenue Cycle to bring in epic expertise. So now we have both the EHR expertise and the ERP expertise. And in fact, this was our first foray outside of Infor. And we got permission from the Infor executive team because we saw as a strategic way to service the entire healthcare ecosystem. And that's really helped us get knowledge from both sides to now build the integration platform to service. And so is it the full life cycle of plan, design, implement, and manage? I mean, you start with strategy and? Yes, so we are starting with the Office of the CIO and the CFO and organizational readiness and talking about strategy consulting, vendor selection, ERP, and after once we get into the actual implementation cycle, that's where we do the implementation of the ERP or the EHR. Once implementation is done, the third piece of it will be optimization because most systems that implement are not optimized. They're on the same arcade system that were implemented many, many years ago. And then the final piece to that is continued support as technology is evolving so fast. You heard Charles speak about so many new technology. It's hard for customers to keep up. So we do outsource application managed service to help support their. So talk a little bit more about the whole micro vertical strategy. We're interested in, I mean, obviously it's real. Yes, absolutely.   And then Charles came and said, no, no, vertical is not enough, it's micro vertical. So one of our businesses is manufacturing. So you take the business of process manufacturing, the process manufacturing for your brewer versus your baker versus, you know, your food distributor, very different. So we then started taking enforced product and started building applications in the presentation layer that are adapted for those industries. So Cloud Suite Food and Beverage has a variation. So Old Neighborhood Foods is one of our top customers. And they're one of the largest supplier of our pork in the Northeast. So how do the, everything that goes behind the making of the sausage and all the recipes, all of that is very different in a business than safe Albertsons that got a bakery that were implementing the same product. And you add that value? Is that right? Yes, that's a custom code that you write or? No, these are using enforced tools because enforced presentation layer tools that we use to build micro vertical specification, reporting analytics, all of those are driven for those industries. So you're composing the tooling. Correct. Essentially what you're doing. And so there's, is there any application development, any low code or is it all no code? Zero code on the application side because that's with being in the cloud, that's one of the controls that come in. So the systems of the 70s were all customized in the application layer. And then every time there was an upgrade, you would have to go through a huge exercise to retrofit them. All of that goes away because with the cloud you don't have control of the application layer. So all these tools that I'm talking about reside in the presentation layer. Okay, so there, do you run into situations though where you say, oh wow, it would be nice if I had this custom modification? And what happens in that situation? Go back to Infor and ask them for it or do you say to those guys, hey, can you extend your platform to give me a low code development capability or some kind of PAS layer that? That's a very good question. And that's a real world problem that our delivery team faces and we have to mature ourselves to. I would say a majority of the case, 80 to 90% of the case, we go back to the customer to have a conversation with them to adjust their process. Most eight out of 10 times, it's a customer that doesn't want to change the process. And that's why they want the software to fit that. And we've learned through the chain management mechanisms to have educated conversation with our customers because it's a lot more painful to change the software than to do that. In the two out of 10 cases, there are exceptions of building plugins or going to Infor. So one of the things with our partnership with Infor, we actually have a direct line with the product development team. And if there's a change the customer's requesting that others would benefit from, it quickly gets into their queue and then it's part of the product set. Well, that's interesting. That's a whole line of questioning now because you think about the old days of technology was the technology was so mysterious. But the process you knew. Yes. And today it's changing. The technology is pretty much de-missed about everybody has AI, right? But it's the process that becomes somewhat unknown. Think about IoT and the edge. These are all sort of wild west, you know. Most often overlooked cause for project failures is chain management and organizational readiness. And that's the part we lead in with to ensure organizations understand the investment they're making in ERP is not just getting a vendor to come in and do this plug and play, but to have their organization adapt to what the technology really is best suited for. It's great. Well, Dharaj, thank you so much for joining us here in theCUBE. It's been a fun conversation. Yeah. We're fortunate. Enlightening even today. Absolutely, I've always learned. All right, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. We'll have more from theCUBE at Inforum 2017 in a bit. Thank you. All right.


the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Skado-Kataya, and on behalf of my team here at JSA, welcome to our monthly virtual roundtable. We are bringing together top industry experts talking about topics important to our industry in our monthly series, available right here on JSA TV YouTube channel, as well as on JSA radio, the only telecom and tech podcast available on iHeart radio. These monthly roundtables lead us up to our onsite CEO roundtables. Next one up is Telecom Exchange, June 21st, 22nd, downtown New York City. And then we'll also have a telecom exchange in LA, right in the fabulous Montage Beverly Hills, and that's November 14th through the 15th. More info is at vtelecomexchange.com. Well, let's get right into it. Today's topic, the evolution of the Green Data Center, has been garnering a lot of support and social media buzz. Thanks, guys, for all those tweets and LinkedIn posts. It is definitely exciting. We have about 80 folks logging in live to have an audience here today. Welcome, welcome. And thank you to those who are watching on demand. This roundtable is brought to you on our JSA video platform, which allows our panelists to log in virtually. And today we were just talking. We're spanning the country from Miami to Seattle, streaming live video feeds, care of our partners, Pinnacle. So thank you, Pinnacle, and let's get started. I'm honored to introduce our guest moderator, Mr. Rich Miller, a dear friend of mine for many years. He's the founder and editor of Data Center Frontier. And one of my personal favorite writers of Data Center space. He's writing on places where the internet lives, the story of data centers, the people who build them. He really makes himself the perfect guest moderator today to talk green data centers with our All Star panel. So Rich, thanks for being with us today and please do us the honors of introducing our expert panelists. I certainly will. Thank you so much, Jamie, for that kind introduction. Excited to be here. Love talking about data centers and this is a great topic. Our format, I'd like to briefly start by introducing the panelists. We have Benjamin Von Seeger, who's the CEO and president of DVS Consulting. Chad Lam, who's the director of engineering at XKL. And Sean Mills, who is the president and CEO and also a founder of greenhouse data. Now, green data centers is a pretty large topic and it might mean different things to different people. The evolution of green data center has kind of been that initially we were focused on saving energy, trying to be as efficient as possible in the construction of data centers to reduce cost and lower the amount of energy being used. Then we have had a big focus on social responsibility lately including the use of renewable energy in powering and sourcing that renewables like solar and wind for the data center. And there's also been recently a lot of focus on other resources that the data center industry uses such as water, which is a big topic in some markets for the data centers. So I'd like to start by asking each of you to take a couple of minutes and talk about what green data center means to you and how the green concepts and principles have been applied in your career and business. And I'll start with Benjamin. Thank you so much, Rich. Thanks so much, Jane, for having me on the program. It's a privilege and I really appreciate it. To dive right into your question, Rich, if you look around the climate change we as professionals in the telecom industry we have to go our part. And since the last 20 years that we've been building data centers starting with telemagnetic Americas, the idea was always to go green because we do need the data centers but also in the process, we cannot go ahead and destroy our planet. So the green idea came from a study that I just read not long ago from all the places Germany where you have a lot of rain every year but they deployed a lot of solar panels and wind energy sources to power all the data centers. If you think in general, how much power we use in a facility, I mean, just taken as the map of the Americas which is 750,000 square feet facility holding 180,000 gallons of fuel, we want to replace that fuel with a green source. It is imperative if you want to keep our planet clean and for the future generations that we move all the data centers towards a green solution. That's my opinion and what the solutions are we can dive later into the conversation but around the world now there are hundreds of data centers and if we look at Asia and other polluted countries, we have to move towards a usage of a green solution. Thanks very much. I'll turn to Sean Mills. You've got green right in the name of your data center company. Talk a little bit about how green is applied in your business. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, Rich. It's a pleasure being here. Greenhouse data was founded back in 2007 as a green data center and our whole philosophy around our corporate culture and corporate mantras and march into the space was around operating as energy efficiently as we can. The greenest, I always say, the greenest electron is the electron we never used and so we really focus on not using as many electrons as possible. We've been fortunate over our evolution, we started off as a green state data center and we're really focused on the best practices around operating data centers, around managing data centers and have been focused on that from the beginning but we've seen the evolution as we've grown and taken over data centers that weren't built to be green data centers and that presented a whole nother set of challenges. Today at this point, we're the 25th largest tech and telecom purchaser of renewable energy in the US and so that's one component to it but as we continue to grow, we see opportunities to continue to push the envelope ways that we can be more energy efficient, continue to be socially responsible and helping produce what we see as an industry that is using a ton of electrons and a ton of electricity. We want to help make that industry as energy efficient and green as possible. Thank you, Sean. Chad at XKL, you work with network equipment. How does that play into the green data center equation? And what's your take on the topic? Yeah, thanks, Rich. Well, as an equipment vendor, we have various motivations for how we design our systems. Obviously, functionally, we gotta solve some problems but we also need to sell these solutions and over the last six, seven years now, one of the requirements is low power consumption. These are monthly reoccurring costs that our customers are experiencing and they need to lower them. CAPEX is obviously a big focus but the operating expenses, whether it's for delivering power to run the equipment or the cooling involved in keeping the environment at the right temperature. So we spent a lot of time here at XKL focusing on how to solve the problems and how to do it efficiently. And component selection is critical for us. It's one thing to go out and find solutions to problems and just say, okay, here you go, this is gonna work great. And then after the fact, figure out that the solution you've presented is consuming three times the power it should. I mean, anybody that's walked through a data center space or machine room and you have to put earplugs on, earplugs in your ears to get through all the noise from all the fans, all that cooling, all that heat dissipation. So we're really careful about components. We select operating modes for devices. Everybody wants to be the solution for every application. And when you get into the data center space, the problems are a little bit different. And so you have to have solutions that really meet their needs. And it's no longer the case where you can simply move bits from point A to point B without considering what it costs to move those bits. Things as simple as airflow and heat sinks and how you manage your systems. You go into a data center space and airflow going from a hot aisle to a cold aisle. Well, there are some components and systems out there that the airflow is going in the wrong direction. How does that help folks in the data center to integrate all these pieces and have a hot air aisle, a cold air exchange, et cetera. So it's no longer sufficient to simply produce a solution from whatever space you're in, whether it's optical networking, which is what we do here at X-Gal or other aspects of what goes on in the data center. You have to do it efficiently. You have to think about it and you have to think about it right up front. So that's what we do here and really appreciate the opportunity to talk about this here because most of the time folks in these greed data center discussions don't get down to the level of the systems, the individual systems that go in there. So I appreciate the opportunity to talk here today. Well, I think it's really important that you've raised that it's an issue that exists on lots of facets in many levels. One of the challenges I think in terms of trying to advance mean data center principles has been the motivation of different parties. Is it about economics? Is it about philosophy and corporate social responsibility? So I'll put to the panel, I'll start with Sean and I'm interested in your take on this about institutionally, how do we advance the cause of the green data center? Is it something that has to come from the operators or the, and are the customers providing any pressure and they're changing the landscape at all? You know, it's really interesting that again kind of come back to that topic of the evolution. As a company, our first data center was built very specifically to be as energy efficient and green as possible. We're a co-location and cloud hosting company. So now we have to consider some of the things like the hardware that is going into our data center from a cloud perspective, the hardware we put in there has to be energy efficient. But, you know, it's a pretty complex reality. You know, when we got to build our first data center as a focus solely around being energy efficient, now we've acquired data center. So I have a new appreciation for legacy data centers, right? And so having a keen focus on being energy efficient, being focused on how do you manage airflow, how can you control the airflow, minimize the amount of cooling required for a given amount of computing? That's a new challenge. And what I always thought when I first started was, oh my gosh, why doesn't everybody do this? And I didn't realize exactly how hard it was until you walk into a legacy data center or a data center that was built before being energy efficient or green was important. And so we're starting to see, and we saw it right at the beginning when we first started in 2008, a drive that customers specifically chose us because of our energy efficiency. But then it's interesting. So 2008, it weighing, 2009 weighing, but what we're seeing again is this big uptick in green initiatives, green being written into RFPs, green focus on energy efficiency being a component. And it's really being driven by the boards of these larger companies. And so it's the companies that are now driving us and continuously pushing us to be more and more energy efficient, not only just based on our own corporate philosophy, but it's actually being driven by the companies in the RFPs and the larger enterprises. Thanks, Sean. So Benjamin, you talked about the importance of the environmental and sustainability portion of this. How do you put that passion into practice? Is that a challenge in the data center industry these days? Well, I mean, to follow to Sean's point and also to a chat point, I've seen the pricing 16 years ago when we developed the first big network access points for power. And then if I look at the pricing now, I mean, the increase is especially for DC power, almost over a thousand percent. So as Sean mentioned, a lot of my big carriers, they push back very hard on, and they try to get a power bill which is way much higher than the co-location environment or exceeds all the other managed services that they're purchasing from. I don't want to name any names, but any big data center that provides facilities out there. So my take on this is going green, not only that provides a solution for keeping our work, but also we really have to look after our customers because they, at one point they were gonna be like, okay, I can't pay for a circuit of 20 amps, thousands of dollars for DC power. And chat points, we need equipment which cools those data centers faster and in a much more efficient way. And the only way to go is, as Sean mentioned, we have to go green. Green's not only going to help the environment, but also it's going to reduce the invoices and gain more traction to bring more customers and create an entrepreneurial ecosystem within the data center floors. As long as you keep those expenses very high, the small cloud providers, they cannot afford to go into an equinex or a telemark or one of those big facilities because they just cannot afford their invoices. So we want to provide a solution where everybody can participate in the big players. And Chad, in terms of the equipment buyers, they have a lot of different motivations for their choices. Where does the energy usage fit in that? Is that more front of mind for the folks you're talking to? Yeah, absolutely. Once upon a time, you could present your product and say, look, this is what it does and it works great. It's wonderful, it's magic. Just give us some money, here you go. Deploy it and it's done. That's no longer the case. Right up top, one of the first couple bullet points is what's your power consumption? What's your power consumption per gigabit, for example? It really matters and it's a selling point. And so it comes full circle. These requirements come in earlier in the design cycle for building systems and therefore the designers have to think about it. But we have other motives for doing it too because a lower power consumption system, system that has cooler environment components last longer, the systems are more reliable, it goes on down the chain. So customer support is simplified because you have fewer failures. So it's really a system level approach that we're not just designing so that a customer doesn't have to pay so much to run the equipment. It's also about the lifetime of the equipment, simpler designs, better airflow management. As I said, we deal with a lot of carrier hotels as well and solutions come to them and they have a very restricted space. They're trying to put racks of equipment in place and if you bring a system along that has the airflow going across, right to left, for example, well, how does that work? I mean, you've got equipment right next door that's going front to back and now you've got something blowing hot air onto it. So you have to have good system design, good system approach to all of this and you have to play nice in the environment. There's an awful lot of equipment going into these facilities and it's a hard enough problem trying to cool this equipment without having to have these inconsistent approaches to the design. But from our standpoint, simpler is always better and it's always less power consuming and it costs less to run. I mean, it's really very fundamental if you think about it. So one of the questions and certainly the data center guys I'm interested in your take on this is what are the strategies right now that are making a difference, that are gaining traction and that are really working in terms of improving the sustainability and the energy profile of data centers? Benjamin, why don't you give us your thoughts? Well, as I said at the beginning of the conversation the solar and the wind energies are some that we really have to look at. And again, to compliment what my colleagues are saying and to Chad's point, I've seen data center where we have as you call them, tanking fires. They have stuck a lot of equipment to one rack and they put rectifiers on top and they don't know where the equipment is melting. So moving towards a cutting edge technology, it's not only going to help bring a better solution but also I'm thinking a lot of the idea, what do you do when you have a power outage? Don't rely on that 180,000 gallons of fuel that have out there. We can have a better system and you can have better equipment from Chad which can provide the batteries and CPUs where you can have stored power in preventing a power outage. I mean, again, I build data centers in a lot of cities around the world but if you think Miami has the biggest natural access point in the world, but Miami is also the capital of the hurricane. So I need, with a cutting edge technology, I need system for backups because it's really important for our customers to give them service level that guarantees 100% on pretty much everything and that includes power, connectivity, cooling. So normally towards cutting edge technology, I see a problem that's gonna be sustained there in how to create a backup, how you make sure that your data centers are up and running 100%, how you give SLAs 100% to your customers. And I just see that, you know, having a great data center design as Sean mentioned since 2008, you have much better chances and possibilities with the great data centers to offer almost to your customers. And also it comes to a much more cost effective solution. Sean, to pick up on that point, we've worked with a bunch of data centers and with different kind of energy and green profiles what are the big challenges in making these data centers green and then what's been your experience? You know, what we really focus on is kind of in three areas. Get back to the most important thing which is don't use the electrons in the first place. But from a renewable energy power perspective, we kind of came to the conclusion that, you know, local generation of renewable energy while it's nice, it's still not the most efficient place to generate the renewable energy. So we are really focused on supporting the renewable energy sources where they are the most efficient. So in wind farms, where they are not usually in a city that we're trying to operate a data center in. So we are comfortable and recognize that, again, it's back to efficiency. So if you can go to where the data center, if where a data center can have on-site renewable energy, great. If not buying it helps support and continue to grow those resources out in the areas where you can buy or can produce renewable energy for the right price. So it's sourcing of energy, but then it really comes down to not using the electrons. And I kind of, from a co-location perspective, break that co-location into one component and then cloud posting into another. From the co-location perspective, you know, it's actually going back and using tried and true technologies that are evaporative cooling technologies that drive the PUE way down, you know, to a factor of almost 80% compared to some of the other traditional data centers that we own. So we leverage evaporative cooling to drive our PUE down to the 1.15, 1.2 in our purpose-built data center facilities. But then again, it's just being laser focused on putting the effort into containing the airflow, managing the airflow so that, you know, the airflow isn't being heated up by hot air coming from a piece of hardware that's turned around inappropriately. So it's really, you know, that airflow management, focusing in on your UPSs. UPSs were another place that we were able to get a lot of efficiency out of versus traditional UPSs with the standard conversion. So, and then lastly, from a cloud perspective, we've actually adopted spin-down technologies in our object store so that when our large multi-petabyte object store is just archiving data, we're able to spin-down and again, not use the electricity in the first place. So you put the whole package together from renewable energy to efficient technology to then focus on the hardware itself. You can get a good solid package of delivering the lowest operating costs and the greenest form factor. And Chad, you and John mentioned the airflow, which is if the situation getting better in terms of like the network equipment and seeing progress towards making life a little easier for the data center technician, so we're trying to come up with an airflow that will be really efficient. Well, yes and no. We're trying to make it better, but we continually see find other vendors just trying to get a solution out there and thinking about some of these airflow and cooling issues as a second thought. And some of our partners and our customers that have data centers in remote places because the energy is cheaper and a little bit more difficult to get to perhaps, these kinds of solutions aren't resonating anymore. They're starting to realize that into Sean's point, we can't have that kind of equipment integrated into this environment. Everything matters. And even though a vendor might be providing a very inexpensive solution, that initial CapEx expense is offset very quickly with the OpEx expenses that are occurred either by their power consumption, their cooling or the infrastructure changes that they force upon the data center guys to try to accommodate these airflow issues where they put up a wall in between racks, they leave racks empty because they can't afford to have the next guys over blowing on to them, for example. We've had several customers and this was how we really got into the data center space in the first place. To Sean's point, taking over older data centers, we have some interesting problems to solve and we're finding that some of them, the racks are half full because they can't deliver any more power. So they're forced to move to the adjacent building or to the adjacent area where they can get more land to build the next generation data center. And so we provide the interconnection that's my point and how we're getting there, but it brought us into this space and having to consider the problems that the data center guys are solving, whether it's with reconditioning old spaces or building brand new ones. And so unfortunately, you have to deal with all of this. So there's no one solution fits all but we're still seeing problems in the equipment vendor space where some vendors are not paying attention, not paying attention to what the customer's asking for and that's this discussion right here today is all about. Let's take a couple of minutes and talk about the opportunities going forward. We've identified some of the existing problems and some of the things that are getting traction right now. What excites you in terms of future opportunities to make data centers cleaner and more efficient and sustainable? I'll start with Sean. You know, it's interesting. I think the number is worldwide, there's like 8.6 million data centers. And so the thing that kind of is exciting for us is this march towards the cloud. So what ultimately happens is people start to select cloud, hosting companies, cloud infrastructure, service, platform and service companies. It's shutting down these quote unquote data centers that exist in closets that exist under your desk. And it's this move to the cloud virtualization made a big impact in the amount of electricity consumption. But the thing that's now happening is those inefficient data centers are now being taken out of the market. And so as companies are marching towards the cloud, the opportunity is really great to see an incredible decrease in the amount of power per compute. And so one of the things we really focus on in our cloud is power per compute or power per gigabit per second or power per gigabyte of storage. And so as we start to look at those metrics, that march away from closet data centers, from the 100 KW data centers to larger data centers and into the cloud is really where we think we're gonna see the biggest delta and biggest difference in the amount of electricity consumed across those different units. How about you, Benjamin? What do you see on the horizon? That's exciting in terms of the opportunities going forward. Follow Sean's thought. I do have another venture here, lead factor where we created a SaaS platform which is a very cool product empowering SaaS people. And what I see that, I have my equipment in four different data centers. And as Sean mentioned, I removed the equipment from the garage and I centralized it into the secure environments because I'm required to do so by my customers. So I'm sure a lot of cloud providers are doing the same thing. So having those platforms, it's cutting edge to technology and they're all very low latency products. And for example, I can have equipment in my data center in New York and I can service the customer in Asia. They won't know where my equipment is. So providing these big facilities that are green and cost efficient would attract a lot of companies like mine and will attract a lot of SaaS platforms or whatever cloud technologies you might have. So the centralization is coming in the future is very clear. It's going to come down to the data centers providers how they wanna approach this and how they want to welcome their customers and create that ecosystem on the base and the floor where you have a thousand customer serving services to the customers existing on the floor already and also to the market. And Chad, what are the opportunities that you see? Well, at XKL, working on optical networking solutions has given us a really good understanding of how you're gonna move bits around. It's no longer the case that you can just go buy a 11RU rack that has fans in it that's consuming 200 watts just for the cooling. That doesn't even count all of the line cards and everything else that goes into that product. And so how do we get the power consumption down and still increase the functionality? The cost per gigabits going down, power consumption per gigabits going down, as I said. And so what we're seeing out there is, for example the first generation of 100 gig transport, while it got you from A to B, it was very power hungry. And so the next generation using better modulation techniques discrete multi-tone, I'm thinking of in particular, is really the wave of the future. And this applies specifically to shorter reach applications where you're doing intra or inter data center connectivity. And so those technologies have to continue because it's just not sustainable the way that first generation of this technology came out. So I see that happening and the companies that can integrate this quickly and efficiently are gonna get the market share from folks like Benjamin and Sean because they need these solutions. They can't afford to continue to operate business as usual. And so we recognize this and those that don't should get left behind. So it's the nature of the beast. To be profitable, you have to sell your products and you have to deliver the solutions that customers are asking for. And so these are the focal points right now for us as a network vendor trying to satisfy the requirements both of the data center space and other space as well at the same time. I'm grateful to all of you for the conversation. This was a great discussion. And with that, I'll hand it back to Jamie. Thanks everyone. Thank you.

In Africa, the use of insulated containers throughout the supply chain is becoming increasingly common in artisanal fisheries. The freshness of the fish ensures its quality. Given its highly perishable nature, it requires special care to preserve its quality throughout this chain, thus justifying its high cost. In Madagascar, the transportation of seafood products, from the southern coast to the capital, takes an average of 36 hours, covering a distance of 1,000 kilometers. To maintain impeccable quality of these products, while adhering to the cold chain, it is essential to keep the fish chill throughout the process. The use of modern coolers to transport fish from Toliara to Antananarivo, and especially the practice of returning them empty, in a taxi bruce, inevitably incurs additional costs for artisanal collectors, like Madame G. Venn. Previously, she used this type of modern cooler, which she was unable to use to earn enough money to support her family. Now, they have found a simple and very economical solution, which improves the packaging technique for transporting frozen fish. They utilize readily available, environmentally friendly materials that are both inexpensive and easily accessible such as biodegradable cardboard, recycled plastic packaging that is affordable and can be reused multiple times, as well as wood shavings that can be found everywhere. Here are the step-by-step instructions for preparing packaging for frozen fish, using only recycled materials. To prepare packaging for approximately 100 kilograms of frozen fish, obtain a cardboard box, measuring 1 meter in length and 70 centimeters on each side, depending on the size of the products you will be inserting. I'm going to set up the cardboard box and the two bags. This cardboard is covered by two plastic bags, so I'll detach them and use the first one inside. This recycled cardboard serves as the basic structure to construct the packaging. If the cardboard is slightly damaged or torn at the edges, it is crucial to securely sew it back together, using a bag needle and a salvaged thread from a strap, to reinforce and stiffen it. Next, you will need wood shavings, which serve as the insulating and shock-absorbing elements of your packaging. You can find them at any neighborhood carpentry shop. This technique of making packaging for frozen fish is simple, fast, and cost-effective. Start by spreading a layer of wood shavings, approximately 10 centimeters deep, at the bottom of the reinforced cardboard. How many centimeters of wood shavings do you use? About 10 centimeters, like this. On top of the layer of shavings, place a thick plastic recovery bag, such as a rice bag, inside the cardboard. We'll use this bag to protect the fish and prevent the wood shavings from touching the fish.  There are people at the market who collect all of these, the bags and the sachets. We buy them from them. Originally, there was sugar inside this bag. This double packaging prevents any contact between the frozen fish and the wood shavings. Take the fish out of the freezer and weigh them, to have a total of 100 kilograms of different species. Those are only big fish. Over the past few years, Madame Jiven has noticed a gradual decrease in the size of fish that our fishmongers bring. Yes, I have noticed that, because there used to be a lot of fish. We could have 300 to 400 kilograms of big fish per day. But now, it has significantly decreased to 100 to 50 kilograms per day, due to climate change. Next, arrange the fish diagonally on the thin plastic bags. The customers in Antananarivo will put it back in the freezer. We are not allowed to re-freeze thawed products. That's why we pay attention to our packaging, to ensure that the products always arrive frozen at their destination. Carefully cover the top of the frozen fish with the two layers of thin plastic, then cover it all with the thick plastic. So the thick plastic to make it airtight against the wood shavings. Madame Jiven uses recycled wire. I'll also take this spring to sew. It's not easy for us to have sophisticated equipment. It's too expensive for us, so we have to find other alternatives. No, this is not new. These are bags used to pack cartons on bicycles. We collect them from stores that sell household items. Fill the cardboard box to the brim with wood shavings, and distribute them evenly on each of the four sides of the box. Add a final layer of wood shavings on top and close the edges of the box. Using a long, thick, and strong sisal rope produced locally, securely tie the box using techniques from maritime knots. Scotch tape is expensive compared to locally produced sisal rope. Ensure that the package is compact, rigid, and airtight to withstand the journey and weather conditions. What's more, it's made of natural fibres, not plastic. We support a local economy. The next step is to take the box to the taxi Bruce parking lot for transport to Antananarivo. So, it's Sunday morning now, and it will arrive in Tana on Monday between 10 am and 12 pm. The product needs to arrive in Tana 72 hours after being sent, and the product must be well frozen because our customer will re-freeze them. This fish comes from toliara, but it's still frozen, and the cold chain is perfectly maintained. Now that you know how to make packaging for frozen fish using recycled materials, let's review one last time what we have learned. Retrieve a cardboard box, reinforce it. Add a first layer of wood shavings. Place a thick plastic bag at the bottom, followed by two layers of thinner plastic. Arrange the frozen fish diagonally.  Fill all sides of the box with wood shavings, ensuring they are evenly distributed on the sides. Add more on top, then close and securely tie the cardboard packaging using locally produced ropes. Lastly, ensure your fish travels for no longer than 72 hours. To reduce post-catch losses, it is crucial to always keep the fish frozen throughout the transportation process.


Antimicrobial resistance is a major problem at present. If we can deliver medicines like antibiotics across the skin in high doses, we bypass the human gut, which is full of bacteria that have the potential to develop resistance if exposed to antibiotics. At present there is quite a challenge in administration, particularly of new medicines. Only things that are in solution can actually be absorbed. And as a result of that, we have a real difficulty in delivering the doses that we actually need. My group focussed on microarray patches. And these patches have on their surface hundreds or thousands of tiny needles. I quickly realised that by changing the material that micro needles were made from, we could open up micro needle delivery to a whole range of different substances. By doing so, we could potentially extend the existing lifetime of antibiotics, given scientists time to develop new drugs.


This paper provides a comprehensive review of enhanced oil recovery, EOR, technologies and their potential to increase final recovery factors in various types of reservoirs, with a focus on sandstone and carbonate formations in turbiditic reservoirs, offshore and onshore fields, and emerging trends such as CO2 injection, high-pressure air injection, HPAI, and chemical flooding. The paper also discusses the risk and rewards associated with these methods and provides an overview of CO2 EOR project economics.
