Hi, good afternoon. So I want to start my pitch with a question. Imagine a container ship. Most of you probably didn't think of something like this. 500 years ago, though, if I'd asked that question, people would imagine something like this. I hope you didn't think of something like that.  And yes, we all know what a container ship looks like, or at least have an idea of it. But most of us don't really know what path a container takes and how the shipping industry as an industry works. It's sort of the hidden champion of industries. And that's despite the fact that 95% of goods are transported with container ships. And if you took on a pair of trainers this morning, it was transported with a container ship. The banana you had for breakfast doesn't grow in Finland. It was transported here with a container ship. And yet, most people's knowledge is restricted to the fact that shipping is incredibly cheap. But today, I want to shed a bit of light on how shipping really works and its flaws and how we can fix them with modern technology. So yeah, shipping is incredibly cheap. But I want to let you in on a secret. It is not as cheap as it looks on the outside. There is hidden cost to how we ship goods today. The industry is flawed in the sense that a single ship, a single human error, can block the Suez Canal and break down entire supply chains to the point where I can't buy grocery in a store in Munich even though Munich doesn't even have a coast. Also, ships are the greenest way to transport goods, but they still run on heavy fuel oil, which is a dirt product from producing asphalt. So it's the dirtiest propulsion there is out there. And it's incredibly slow. It takes months to transport cargo from Asia to Europe, for example, compared to airplanes. And finally, in the shipping industry, it is not a company that's transporting cargo that's dictating the terms of that transport. It is actually shipping companies, so the ones offering the service that dictate how exactly it works. There is no customer orientation. And when you try to understand what the origin of these flaws is, you will sooner than later find out that it has to do with ships being really, really large. You can put as much as 24,000 containers on a single vessel, and that is the cause of these problems. So today, you have massive vessels with thousands of containers operating between main hubs and then smaller vessels distributing the goods away from hubs like Rotterdam, for example, here in Europe. And I like to compare this to public transportation. When we try to understand how it works today, it is like public transportation. You have fixed schedules, fixed times when and where a cargo ship operates, and it's impossible to have customer orientation. And the reason for that is the same as in public transportation. Why can't you dictate when and where the bus drives? It's because you only have a single seat on that bus, but there is 50 other people with you on this bus. And obviously, it's then impossible that you dictate when and where the bus drives. And it's the same in cargo transport. What most people don't know is that a single company, even a company like IKEA, only transports a handful of containers. And that's why it's impossible with so many orders on a single ship that one company dictates where and when cargo ships drive. So our idea and our vision of the future is going back to small vessels. And this enables individualized supply chains. And we're saying we have a novel technology, a novel type of ship that makes this economically feasible while today it isn't. And this is why we see large cargo ships because they're the cheapest way to transport. But if there is a technology that can enable transportation at the same prices, it would be smarter to go back to small cargo vessels. And for a customer, this feels like going from the bus system or public transportation to a taxi-like service. So what is this magic technology? It's a new type of vessel. It is powered solely with wind energy so it doesn't have any fuel costs. And this wind energy is harvested with a kite. The ship can be operated autonomously and it is small and has 16 containers capacity. So only serves very few customers. And here's how this works in an animation. Main propulsion is not a diesel engine. It's a kite that flies at 300 meters up in the air and works like a kite surfing kite. It literally pulls the ship. And for a harbor cruising and for extreme weather situations, there's a backup electric motor and battery, and this ship taps into existing infrastructure. So in a port, you wouldn't know the difference between a conventional ship and a cargo kite ship. And why is this reliable? Because wind at this height blows at 95% of days everywhere around the world. So even while being dependent on wind energy, the ship can serve customers as reliably as other ships. Now, the final question, a teaser of our work today, is this already reality? Yes, it's slowly becoming reality. We're working on it in Munich. This is one of our prototypes. It's an eight by four meter leisure boat with all the main components of the final ship. And as a closing, I just wanna show you video of our everyday work as a bit of a teaser. And if at the end of those videos, you haven't decided that I'm that crazy, then feel free to come talk to me after the presentation about what the future of shipping could look like. And here's the video.


Yes, big data is indeed a threat to privacy of individuals and the reason is that with big data you can combine data sets that are available also in the public or the data sets that companies have or governments and there's very strong software available to analyze those data sets and that enables companies and governments to find correlations that are unexpected. For instance, if an individual makes a lot of car accidents it appears that they are also less careful about their own health. That information can be used by insurance companies to increase the insurance premium for health insurance if people appear to have more car accidents. So that can have a big impact on the individual lives of individuals. Is our data protection law adequate to address negative impact of big data? Yes, the current law has quite some general rules and that can be applied also to big data analytics. There's a general ground, legitimate interest ground, which could facilitate the analytics and there always has to be a balance between the interest of the company and the privacy of the individual. So if the impact on the individual is too big the ground will not apply. So yes, in general the rules are fine. There are some rules that are too strict. For instance, there's an exemption for scientific research which I think is too narrow. Also Tilburg University does big data analytics for scientific purposes and that is fine but they also want to develop more commercial apps and business models based on that and that cannot be covered by the scientific exemption while certain of those apps are actually quite beneficial to society and I think we should rethink that exemption to maybe broaden it up to also cover the possibility for more commercial apps in that respect. There's a proposal for a new EU regulation on privacy. Will this bring improvements for privacy? Yes, the EU regulation will bring many improvements. For starters the regulation will be applicable as one law in the whole of Europe. Till now we had a directive which needed to be transposed into national law in the various member states. That meant that all the laws slightly differed which made it difficult to apply it in if you have a lot of the business models are cross-border and made it difficult in development of apps for the whole of Europe. So yes, there are many improvements. Not all on big data. The jury is still out. There's many negotiations going on between the member states on how to deal with big data in the new regulation. In the first draft there was a prohibition to do actually analytics of sensitive data like health data that I think was a mistake because analytics of health data can bring big benefits to society. For instance you would like to know the impact of the fact that people become more and more obese in society on the health costs for governments. That is knowledge you want to know and if that is the analytics is forbidden to start with I think that is not a good idea. What you should regulate is decisions based on the outcomes and that I feel is not always best regulated by the regulation on privacy but we should have a debate on what types of discrimination had the outcomes of the analytics. What can you do with it? Can you actually discriminate based on health, on lifestyle, on genetics? That is a debate we need to have because if you would discriminate based on that because if you are obese you need to pay more health insurance. I think that would undermine the cohesion in society and that is insufficiently covered now.


Hi, Jeff Rick here with theCUBE. We're in the heart of Silicon Valley in our Palo Alto offices and I'm joining this tech segment by our co-host, Ariana Gradao. Ariana, welcome. Thanks, good to be here. So it's just a couple of days ago. It seems that we kicked off Cube Badness. We talked about all the full 64 and now as of today, we close voting down at noon Pacific time. We're down to the sweet 16. Yeah, it was a tight wire, lots of heat building. People are getting excited, riled up. It's good. It's fun to watch. So it's funny when we talked last time. We talked about kind of activating your social network and getting your social mojo. And I think as you've watched this thing develop over the last couple of days, clearly some people are out in front really getting their crowd going, putting stuff on their front pages and others aren't. Yeah, it's fun. It's definitely, it draws down to the line when people put it on their Twitter handles. They get it on their Facebook page. They really engage their audience, ask for votes. We see the numbers grow. And it's really, it draws down to the wire. Asking your friends, asking your family, getting the votes, putting your interview out there. Yeah, and I think there's some surprises. Some people really make that big push and some people don't, but like you say, we can see the results. So why don't we jump into the sweet 16? All right, let's begin with the Wikibon region. We see Abi Mehta, who had a tight race against Paula Long is going to be up against Pam Murphy, who beat Diane Mueller in the final, in the round of 32. Tight race, what are your thoughts? Tight race, Abi Mehta is always a big fan, been on theCUBE a ton of times, actually been a co-host before. So we know he likes to get engaged. Paula Long, you know Paula Long has a huge following. She is running Data Gravity right now, which is a very hot company, but she herself does not have a Twitter handle. At least not one that we found. So I think there clearly Abi had an advantage. Pam Murphy did not see a lot of direct activity from Pam.  But that should be an interesting race on the one side of the Wikibon region. The other, they are gonna be rival ring, Sanjay Poonan, who is up against Maria, who beat Maria Klaw, Klaway. Klaway, yeah, Maria Klaway, yep. And they are, he is rivaling Allen Nuance. Allen Nance, or yeah, Allen Nance. So Allen Nance is interesting because he is from Royal Phillips. So he's actually one of the few practitioners that we have that's not representing a technology company. But one of the most popular interviews that we've ever had is funny, he talks about people running him down at birthday parties, kids' birthday parties, telling them that they saw that interview. And then Sanjay really got a good outpouring of support from his network, people rallying. So that will be a pretty interesting one. I think Sanjay has been a little bit more active. I think Allen had less competition kind of coming up through, so we'll see if he can step it up and go. But that one, I'd have to say, if I had to predict, I think Sanjay is probably gonna pull out and move to the final four from that group. All right, yeah, that's gonna be a fun window to watch it play out. All right, moving into the Cube region. We've got Bethany Meyer. She competed against Ben Gulab in the last round of 32. And she is competing against Erica Brescia. And Erica Brescia had a sweep over Mark Shuttleworth. Yeah, two great women in tech interviews that we've done. Erica is a COO or CIO. She's really a technical founder of Bitnami and great interview at Google Cloud Platform. And then Bethany, actually, longtime HP veteran. She's been around the Valley, self-prescribed veteran of the Valley when we interviewed her last for a woman in tech segment. And so, again, those are two really powerhouse, really great representatives of women in tech, which, again, ironically, we're shooting this on women in tech Wednesday, so that only makes sense. That's gonna be an interesting battle. Neither of them has really totally activated their network, so we'll see what happens in this round if one of them really kind of takes the charge. Yeah, ladies, go at it, go after it. All right, other side of the Cube region, they will be competing against Jim Whitehurst, who had a close race against Nicky Acosta. Super close. I think it was only 16 or a very small number that Jim Whitehurst won the advance to the sweet 16, and he is up against Teresa Carlson, who beat Eric Herzog. Eric Herzog, so Eric Herzog has a pretty active network. He, I think he was out a little harder, a little faster in the first round, didn't really have the sustainability in the second round, so that's a great win for Teresa to move on. Again, we've got three of four women in tech in the Cube region, which is terrific. Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat really got behind his campaign. In fact, one of their pages, their internal blog pages, they have Vote for Jim, Vote for Jim, so the whole company really getting behind his candidacy, and so we're excited to have him move on to the next round. Nicky last round was losing for quite a bit and was able to come in and grab victory from the jaws of defeat right at the last minute. Didn't happen this time, so this is a good, good region, the Cube region, three of four represented by women in tech, and then of course Jim with Red Hat. It's a good, it's a good region. That's gonna be exciting as we move to the final four. Mm-hmm, definitely. All right. So we go to the tech athlete region. Yeah, let's get to the tech athlete region. So one was to start out, we got Lone Jaffe, who compete, who beat Debra Norville, which was a great, great defeat or great feat. Great victory, yeah. Victory, and Jack Norris, who competed against Maribel Lopez. Yeah, so Debra Norville, again, this was when we talked about at the beginning of the show, just because you have a huge Twitter following, if you don't activate it and get behind the contest, and not necessarily gonna do a lot for you. I would imagine if Debra had tweeted once or twice, it probably would have moved her, moved her vote a little bit, but that's okay, Lone Jaffe and the team at SingSort are into it. They have fun of these types of things and really know how to get leverage out of their CUBE interviews and promote them over and over again. Jack Norris, great to see him moving on to the sweet 16. Jack was not in the contest last year. I was wanting to make sure that he got into the contest this year. So Jack, glad you guys are getting behind it. And interesting to see that you moved on to the sweet 16 and best of luck now moving into the elite eight. Yep. And they will be up against Mike Cardano, who beats the puppets and Alan Cohen, who had a nice victory of a flow, Lee Burt. Yeah, so Alan Cohen is the, again, we like to have props and fun, interesting things on interviews. The only guy that brought a kraken onto the interview at AWS re-invent last year. A lot of enthusiasm again, really activated their social network at Alumeo, looking for those votes and obviously they came through for him. And Mike Cardano, again, HGST, really activating his network, reaching out. He's actually expanding into some other areas that HGST is involved with. I think the CrossFit crew is something that they're passionate about, Mike's passionate about and good for him for using that passion to also then get involved in Cube Madness. So that should be, that's gonna be a tough matchup. Mike and Alan to see who moves on to the elite eight. Yep. And we moved to the last one, Silicon Angle Region. Silicon Angle Region. All right, Charles Phillips, who had a victory over Joe Hellerstein and is up against Jesse Proudman. That was a close one, Jesse Proudman and Bill Schmarzo were head to head. That was Battle Royale. Yeah. That definitely is the Battle Royale award for the round of 32. If Bill, if you'd been in just about any other region, I think you would have taken that one. But Jesse got it. Jesse had a really great article. It's gotten a lot of buzz on Twitter just the last couple of days talking really about being an entrepreneur and really the only job that you could ever have and really actually going through a dark time in his life doing entrepreneurship and how he turned that around. And good for you, Jesse was a great post on mediums, getting a lot of buzz in the Twitter sphere. On the other side, Charles Phillips, obviously Tech Rockstar, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, now at N4, coming out of that against Joe Hellerstein. So Jesse versus Charles Charles, gonna have to do a little bit more activation. I think it's gonna be a little bit more active than just relying on his status, because Jesse's into it. He was just going through this process with the OpenStack Society trying to get, the OpenStack Foundation trying to get on the board. So he's into asking for votes right now. He's pretty comfortable with that position. Yeah, great. All right, Katie Lindahl is up against Lou Tucker. We saw Katie Lindahl just beat Carl Gentry and it was a sad match because I saw Carla out there pushing her numbers, asking for the vote. So I think it was just the sheer reach that Katie Lindahl's and her fan base. And then Lou Tucker beat Merv Adams in the last round. Merv Adrian from Gartner. So Lou Tucker coming on strong with Cisco. I think we had a couple Cisco representatives. I think he's our sole Cisco representative that's still in the game. So good luck to you, Lou and Katie for sure. I mean, Katie's got a huge following. Again, one or two tweets, if she reaches out to her audience, that's a big, big number. And Carla, great effort. Carla's really active in social. She's got a huge fan base. Anytime she tweets or we mentioned Carla, we get a ton of retweets and favorites. She's got a huge fan base for sure. The data geek. Yeah, that's fabulous. And who do you think is gonna, after all this and after people start activating, what do you think it's gonna take to get to the final four? Again, we've talked about it before. I think you've really gotta activate your social network. You can't be afraid to ask for the votes. We'll help you. In fact, anyone that basically tweets from their own Twitter handle looking for votes or in support of the contest, usually will retweet that and will favorite that and really support that effort. But you gotta get them activated and then really you gotta sustain. And it's gonna be difficult. So again, this voting period is about a day and a half. We'll shut it down on Friday at noon Pacific to try to get to that elite eight status. And then we'll open it up again next week to get to the final four. But some brackets have been tougher than others. Some contests tougher than others. It's kind of luck of the draw who you go against and how you can activate your social network. But as the brackets get smaller, those who've advanced just because they haven't had tough competition, that's gonna be harder to do. So who do you think, who's your favorite now? I think Jesse Proudman, he's up there. He's got a lot of activation, a lot of fans. Yes, he does. His network's definitely reaching out for him as well. He's, I think he's gonna advance the final four. Let's see, probably. So Jesse, that's from your Silicon Angle region. So what about from the Tech Athlete region? And I'm gonna concur with you on that one. Silicon Angle region, oh, okay. From Tech Athlete region. I'm thinking maybe Alan Cohen or yeah. Yeah, don't bet against the Kraken. Watch out for the Kraken or Mike. Mike has done a really good job of activating it. We hadn't seen as much of Mike on the social scene until the contest. Maybe we weren't paying a close enough attention, but he's clearly got behind this thing. But that's gonna be a tough battle. You can never count out Longiaffi and SyncSort. The team there is very active on social. So let's move to the Cube region. What do you think about the Cube region? Cube region, I'm thinking maybe Jim Whitehurst. He had some activation as well, and he is all over the media. Yeah, I think Jim is the, I would say, the odds-on favorite to get to the final four. Because again, Red Hat even has it on their homepage, which is great support for Cube Madness. And we appreciate that and glad that you guys have really embraced the fun of what this is all about. And promoting those interviews of us from Red Hat Summit. We're gonna be at Red Hat Summit again this year. It's in Boston. Last year it was in Moscone. We're looking forward to that show. And for the Wikibon region. Yeah, what do you think? Maybe Abhi Metta. It's a close call on that one. I'm not really sure. But what are your thoughts on that one? Abhi Metta, tough to gamble against. Who else is here? Alan Nance. You know, I'm gonna go with Alan Nance. He's one of the most fundamental favorite. Again, the only practitioner in the group. So we'll see if Alan can pull it out. But Sanjay's got a good support too. He had a lot of people behind him. And then, you know, don't cut out, Pam Murphy. So last, the sweet 16, they really have to get on the court. Play their A game, get offensive. You know, let's see them charge. Yeah, it's gonna be a good time. So we'll come back at the end of the weekend. Probably Women in Tech Wednesday again to talk about the final four and who's gonna make it. Hope your regular March Madness brackets are going well. Mine's pretty good. I got 12 out of 16 in the sweet 16. Don't ask me how. It's madness, right? It's not as logical as we wish. But I'm Jeff Frick, Ariana Grattow. We are the Cube, Silicon Angle, Palo Alto offices, Talking Cube Madness. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next week when we talk about the- Get your votes in soon. All right, get your votes in. And it's on Friday. Noon. Friday, noon.


Good evening and welcome to episode 381 of the Private Property Podcast. I'm your host Rosamund Domoakumalo. It's the Wednesday edition of the Private Property Podcast for journalists.

And of course, that is what is up for grabs. I do hope whoever gets to be the winner will indeed be watching us and can claim that money. Now, this evening we're talking about how maintenance enhances property value. We talk a lot about the importance of maintaining your property, but we're looking particularly at the knock on your face to the value of your property and not just for the convenience factor that you obviously are going to have when you maintain your property. And help us get a good sense of how this is done and going this evening by Hoshi Sasa, CEO at Mochalapuena Values. And I must already apologize on his behalf for not having the greatest connection. So he's going to be live with us on audio so his camera is switched off so that you at home are able to hear him well. Hoshi, good evening and thank you so much for joining us on the show. Good evening, Zama. Thanks for having me. I'm glad to be here. It's such a pleasure to have you with us, Hoshi. Unfortunately, our networks are not working too well, but we always say the show must go on and we absolutely need to do our best to make sure that the viewers at home still get their daily dose of the podcast. Now, I think when we do ask, people even look at how maintenance enhances property value, let's first just, we've spoken about this when you've been on the show before, but let's quickly touch on what goes into a property's value. I mean, I think as a valuer and as a valuer's yourselves, when you do an evaluation and we're obviously looking at residential property, what are the things that you look at that ultimately fall down to how the evaluation figure ends up ultimately being? They are what we call property-value-forming factors, attributes. One of those being the location of the property, the size of the land or the extent of the property, the actual size of the buildings on site that would be your house or whatever buildings that you may have. The condition of the house also counts. And also, the other thing as well is, how do you care for it? That's what the condition is concerned. So, among those, we also look at the issue of overcapitalization. If there is any, are you building in line with the rest of your neighbors or are you the odd one out, and that is why you obviously drive yourself to be in line with anything that is happening in your area. Your building has to be built in a few minutes. Your valuer-forming attributes are very important in this case. Many people like, say, location, location. That's true, but there are other ones that you can tell yourself about overnight location. And I think it's so important for people to take note that location alone is not the only factor. And you rightfully pointed out that oftentimes people say location, location, location, but we also know that sometimes you may have that one factor, right? But the other factors may not necessarily be up to standard, and that does have, unfortunately, a negative impact on the value. I can already see some of the love that we're getting on our Facebook page from, you know, some of our viewers at home. I couldn't be more glad to be sending through those green hearts. Do mark their registered down here below as we're talking about how maintenance enhances your property value at home. And I'm actually interested to find out from our viewers at home if you've ever had evaluation done on any of your properties, because I think this is one of those things that we sometimes don't actually, you know, explore or end up doing. And at the times people only, you know, want to do it, perhaps when they want to refinance their property, or when they're interested in buying a new property. And they're not quite sure if the purchase price is correctly priced, and they want to get a good sense of, you know, what the value of that property is. And now, when we then look at, you know, maintenance enhancing property value, I think let's look at some of the maintenance, you know, mistakes that people make when it comes to their residential properties that ultimately affects and negatively affects the value of the property. Let me use a few examples. We obviously know that there are four seasons in the year. There's the rain season, there's winter, there's autumn, and there's spring. In winter, the trees dry out, so the leaves, for those that have trees in their yard, leaves you or block all those, then you're going to the gutters, block the gutters. By the time the rain season comes, your gutters are blocked and you're moving away. What then happens is that when the gutters are blocked, water going to the gutters doesn't flow over, now it breaks the gutters off and interferes with your gutter on the roof. So your extract cannot get to the width because of more than whatever comes into the wooden panels that you wouldn't have used then. That's one example. The second one is where the ridges on top of the roof needs to be painted regularly. Let's say once in a while do it so that you are waiting, having rain water go through the roof into the ceiling, now it becomes a cost for you now to replace the ceiling or repent the ceiling. Let's say those two things happened and you are not aware or you are aware, you simply ignore them and expect yourself, I'll read after a while. What then happens is that when a valuer comes out, let's say a bank valuer comes out, he's doing a valuation for a mortgage, comes out, gets to a site, thinks that the ceiling indicates that there are problems on the roof. So when that property is to be valued, you would imagine a similar type sized house next door to yours that doesn't have those problems has to be given a slightly higher value than yours because in your case there has to be an expensive cat in making the property habitable or make it usable for the level of weight. In cases where you find that maybe the ceiling is turned brown, it's about to fall in, you can even see through the roof because the tiles are shifted and that. So it's very minor things that one needs to look at, that will eventually go a long way in creating a very good appeal, a capable appeal for your property. Like I mentioned, the tiles have shifted, you could simply just take your ladder, go up there or get the professional to go up there and then push the tiles back into shape because by avoiding fixing that, when it rains, water will definitely slip through into the ceiling, the paint, the paint work on the warning, it damages your flooring.  Now can you imagine that if I had to come out and to come out and conduct an evaluation on your property and I find those things there, I cannot ignore them because remember I'm reporting to the bank that needs to know everything about it for their security. Even for yourself, if you say Hoshi, come and do an evaluation for me, I need to know how much can I sell my house for. In the report that we'll be writing for you, we'll make you aware that you could have done this to enhance your value, but it seems like your maintenance has not been done as a result of your misuse or interference on your property. I am this evening in conversation with Hoshi Sasso, the CEO at Makhala Gwena Valuers. We're looking at how maintenance enhances your property value. When we then look at how maintenance enhances your property value, perhaps it goes through how it does that and some of the key things that we should always make sure are always maintained that certainly drives the value of the property either higher or certainly makes sure that it maintains that value for a significant period of time. Maybe let's talk about the most crucial factors around a house. Let's use a house as an example on a property. I'll talk about the house and then talk about the property itself, because many people tend to confuse property as a house.  Property is the stand, that's where your house is. On a house, some people leave the paving around the house to be loosed. What then happens is that there's water seepage that goes through into your foundation. Once it goes through in there, it brings up the cracks now. You now start now seeing things that you didn't know exist on your house because of the water seepage. That's around the house. The other crucial one is the actual roof of the house. You cannot afford to have an excuse of any sort as to why you're not maintaining your roof.  A leaking roof means the ceiling is damaged. When the ceiling gets damaged, that means that your painting as well gets damaged. Eventually, it goes all the way to the to the flooring. But now, even with the with the water seepage on the on the pavement along along along the wall itself, once moisture rises, you know your paint is going to your paint is going to flake off.  Now, this is what then happens. Your neighbors are doing that which you are not doing. So by by doing that, now you are losing that because by the time you decide to say, okay, fine, maybe you want to say, you are saying, no, I'm going to sell my house. I need to paint here and there. I need to fix here and there. Imagine the amount of money that you're going to be fixing your house at with whether you are spending a good 200,000 in fixing the house and your values in the area only a million right. Remember, it doesn't mean that because you are thinking for 200,000, you can sell for for over a million right. Your cap values is a million right, meaning that people are selling for a million right. You are listening for 800,000 because you are losing 200,000 that you could have had in value enhancement over time and then your maintenance. So it's quite important. Many people leave it as a last thing to do and that you can work like that because remember, if you are doing it constantly, prodically, you are able to maintain things and even to replace them because the moment that they play, it becomes a direct thing. And I think we understand the amount of work that goes into maintenance and how on top of it we ultimately need to be in. I can really see some of the questions and comments at home that speaks to this and really looking for insight on how they can better manage their properties. But we're going to get to that just after this brief break. During the break, we're going to find out who the lucky winner of the 500 grand that is in the money bag this evening is. Remember, if you see your name on the screen, you have to drop us a message down here below in order to claim that cash prize. Let's take a look at who this evening's lucky winner is. And that lucky winner this evening is Elton Tombeini. Elton Tombeini, the lucky winner of the 500 grand in the money bag. And of course, I do hope Elton is indeed watching the live, drop us a message down here below in order to claim your prize. Elton Tombeini, 500 grand is up to grabs for you this evening. And as we continue our conversation looking at how maintenance enhances a property value in conversation with O'Hoshi Sansa, who is the CEO at Mkhalla Gwena Values, and taking your questions and comments across our social media pages. We've got a question here coming through from Instagram, from YouTube rather. It's coming from Tracy Stanley saying, I'm currently busy with maintenance on my property. This is so timely. It's important. It's a property rather that is 45 years old, and it's quite expensive to maintain, but it's needed. Greetings from Cape Town. And I think, you know, the big thing there, O'Hoshi, is that the older properties certainly do pose their own challenges when it comes to maintaining them. What did you say? Yes, they do, because on the older properties, some of the finishing is no longer available. Like, for instance, you have those doors rotting. So some of this, some of them have got some very old type of doors, like this Cape style house, the house that they have in the, in the Western Cape. I remember I did the evaluation of one. It was a guest house a while back. Those guys were battling to find a similar type of doors that they had fitted there. So they tried maintaining and keeping the doors in a good shape for many years, but eventually they had to reach a point where they have to replace now. It then meant that now they had to go and get, find someone who does woodwork to try and design the similar type of door for them. Can you imagine having to have a custom-made door for you compared to just rushing and going to a hardware store and buying the similar door. In insurance that such a structure remains in sound in place, it was a quite high.  Do it all the time, avoid having to spend much more. And I think you're correct that this is definitely one of those things that you do not want to put off too long, because the extent of the damage only keeps getting worse, if you don't get on top of it as much as possible. And more of your questions and comments at home. We've actually got two coming through from Tiatu Muñay also on YouTube. And the first question is, how do you quantify how much does the damage cost in the property which will be included in the valuing exercise? And the second question is, is there a formula you use to calculate the value of the property? I'll take the last one first. There is no formula used to determine a property value. On the residential valuations, we're purely looking at the comparable method of valuation that compares your house directly to those around it, or in the vicinity, for them to determine the value. But now, on the first question, what happens in practice where residential houses are concerned? I'll answer it now, trying to wear a cap of the banter. They are saying, if the market value of the houses in the area is a million round, and the cost of estimations of fixing that house is 300,000, it doesn't mean that a notional bank can only pay 700,000 for it, because they're going to spend 100,000 to look like the neighborhood. So, can you see now that we're talking about direct cost there, where you are saying that, had you done what you needed to have done over time, you could have ended yourself an extra 300,000 like the rest of the people. But in terms of maintenance, you unfortunately are sort of compelled to take care of it, or else it will take care of itself by refusing to give you the number that you require later on, which is unfortunate. And taking more of your questions and comments this evening as I'm in conversation with Hoshi Sasa, Serifing was saying important also not to over-enhance the property. Overcapitalizing Hoshi at the end, I see this quite a lot with a lot of the residential properties, particularly houses where you're living in the house and it was a family house, you bought it for you and your family, and perhaps your kids and your wife, your state, though your husband stayed there for a bit, and you've enhanced it to put marble finishes, but of course you've over-capitalized it. When it's time to sell, it becomes quite a huge burden to offload it, especially when you look at how much is available in that particular street suburb and where the market at the time is. I had a friend Zama who lived in Midrend, he and the wife had a house that was improved with some tech. You could actually from an app open kettings and close kettings and put lights on and switch off and whatnot, and even open the gate from wherever you are. The cost of that is a few hundreds of thousands, but think about it, here comes Hoshi and family looking for a house. We are only looking for accommodation, we so happen to like an area where the house is located, it's on the market, I feel that you know what, I can take this one for my family, the nice four bedroom house, the house there, the rest of us, but now we get in there, the guy now says nah, but now remember this one is not like the one next door, I now have this high tech stuff that I put in here, I'm not looking for those, I'm looking for accommodation. So how many, how many people walk in through the door with an estate agent will be saying, I think I like this one with whatever it comes with, is unfortunately over capitalized, meaning that if the market value ought to be only a million rand and we have spent 100,000 in putting those fancy things, it's going to take it with whatever it comes with, because remember over capitalization as well means more money spent on maintenance unnecessarily. And I think that's the crux of it, it's the unnecessary part, right, and especially when you factor in, when you want to offload that asset, because with some people they'll say, look I'm putting all this money and I know that I'm spending more than what I'd be able to get out, because I'm not going to sell, this is one of those that I may want to pass on to my children, but I also want to enjoy all these perks. And so no matter what happens, I am holding on to this property, I want the automated systems in the house and other houses in the area may not be at that level, but I'm okay with it. And I think over capitalizing unfortunately happens far too often, where we spend quite a significant amount of money on finishes and don't consider how we're never going to be able to recover that kind of cost. And it really is an important thing to always be mindful of. And, you know, going more to some of your comments and questions at home, at saying good evening, private property family, I agree, some properties are so terrible, poorly maintained, but yet the price is so high. Serifi and Wacheng coming back saying it's always better to try maintenance yourself than be dealt through, or rather yourself than be dealt with through valuation. And Tia Tu Mu Nhai as other questions saying do you consider the dirtiness, the war, the dirtiness on the wall in your report? So when you look at the report, I mean, is the stage of the cleanliness, you know, in a house in this instance, you know, is that something that you kind of factor in when you do the report? It has to be considered. I mean, think about it. You walk into a house, you've got drawings on the wall, kids have been using permanent markers, drawing things on the wall, they were writing stuff, is dirty, the paint work looks like it was done some hundred years ago and stuff like that. Now, even if they will say to you, let's say the market bill is a million dollars, you walk into a house where the guy says no, my asking price is a million dollars. You now need to think about it, is this house habitable in its condition? The outright answer can be a yes, because for you to make it habitable, it needs to be cleaned up or it needs to be painted before you can now move in. So as long as the buyer you walk in and say, I can live with this, it then means that it needs to be considered in us doing our evaluation. And we also need to be able to report it to the bank or the U.S., the person instructing us for a property bill. We'll come back and say to you, yes, we are on site, we found that on the back of the house in the yard, there are trees chopped off, there is grass piled up, it's like they are formating some lucerne veils in there. Would you want to go in there and take it like that? It doesn't mean that the person selling it to you, they must be very good of what you're not comfortable with before you buy, or else if you think of yourself, you're going to have to make money and expense it in ensuring that it's habitable for you to move in. And I think the big thing there, Khushi, is especially for people who are looking to buy a house and will make the example of a house, is if it's one of those houses where you know that when you buy it, you won't even need to paint the house. As soon as it's handed over to you, you're able to just move in. In the event where you decide to paint, it's because you just want a fresh look, for instance, as opposed to it being a necessity. Then you know to either play around with the price and how much you can play around with the purchase price. Where you can see is still quite a significant amount of work that you may need to do in order for it to get to a place where you can move in and be able to comfortably live there. You can certainly factor that in before you make your offer because you really do need to think of those little costs because they stack up. Sometimes you may think that it's insignificant, but when you look at the overall costs that you're going to be spending from the acquisition side, the moving side, and then of course, even minor maintenance that you may want to do when you pick up that property, you need to factor it in. I've never bought a property that I didn't need to do something before somebody lived in it because I was mostly buying for investment purposes. Whether it was paint or some other thing that needed to be done, and that's something that I always then factor in when I make that offer just almost budgeting for I need to change the floors. Meaning that I need to certainly put in new flooring and that's also quite a significant cost. Sometimes you may need to, for instance, change world drops in that particular place because the ones that are there are so terribly run down that nobody can possibly move in and live there. Those are some of the things that you always need to consider, especially when you are about to make an offer. So if it means you kind of drive down that cost a little bit so that you're able to make sure that you pay for those services once you acquire the property, then you absolutely need to do so. Going back to more of your questions and comments this evening, we've got 1979 kitchens and bathrooms versus 2021 rental expectations. And we get them quite a lot. I think a lot of us complain about kitchens and bathrooms.  You can't paint over it because it changes the texture of the wall and it doesn't want to come off the wall. You almost need to scrape it off and they have to have the wall placed it again and properly. And those are things that this is a cost that you need to factor in before you make an offer. And as we round up our conversation this evening, any final tips for our viewers have heard when it comes to important maintenance things they need to be on top of on a regular, even cyclical basis that is going to fundamentally help enhance their property but also maintain the value of the property so that should one day they want to perhaps sell the property or even refinance the property and access a bit of equity in that property, they may be able to do so. Look, enhancing your property value is important. You have to start from the outside on the property itself. Keep your property clean. Work on your garden, clean your yard because appearance is everything. There's no person who want to walk in and want to think about moving in after you live in a property that doesn't look like you can care of. That's number one. Keep your property clean. Whatever breaks needs to be fixed. You can be having a gate handing the most people not to work in the bottom missing and you expect me to buy it as a buy. That's the outside of the property itself. And on the road, ensure that the infrastructure comes up immediately because the right side of damages will cost you more money to fix later on. Then on the inside, keep your alls, keep your alls. You're fair about it. You're used to them.  When a buy comes in, you'll be able to pick those up. Like you said yourself was that there's no way that can, if you see that I need to spend money fixing one, two, three, four, five on the house. So whatever you do, ensure that whatever appears to be damaged taken care of and also periodically. Ensure that you do minor painting here the way you can. Like I said, God just needs you to be painted. Any still work around the property needs to be painted so that you take care of the rest and whatever comes. The last thing that I'll mention is that when buying a house, you need, I need better advice that know how this works. We are able to say to you, let's do you, let's, let's conduct a report for you, suspend what we are saying to you. There is a, yeah, not all people is equally correct. They are avoiding it. For all those things, you need to understand yourself about so that the time you serve, that's the next one. And we are going to have apologies there to our viewers that tail in those last few seconds. Of course, she was breaking. We do apologize for that. We know that our signal was not too great, but it held up for most of our conversation is so painful for that. So the big thing is be on top of all your maintenance needs. Start from the outside. And of course, work your way inside. You want to make sure that you, you know, you nibble in the bud as early as possible. You're consistent with it. Some of it is cyclical. We know that in winter, the leaves dry. We know what happens in winter. And so there's certain maintenance that you do during that winter season so that by the time rainy season comes, you don't have to deal with certain repercussions. So those are some of the great tips that you can certainly use in your property at home. And you want to make sure that you're on top of this one, because there's so many different ways that you can unlock value in your respective property. And Hoshi, we are going to leave it there this evening. Thank you so much for joining us. It has been a pleasure to have you on the show. And I think Hoshi's signal might just be fading. Thank you very much. And that is Hoshi. Thank you. Thank you very much. And that is Hoshi Sarsa, the CEO at Mahalakwena value is wrapping up the Wednesday edition of the private property podcast with myself, Ozamantomwa, Kumalo.

Jessica Jams missed the discussion on Julian Assange. There is massive support for Julian. Julian's release here in the UK, the mainstream media has been very negative, almost jealous in its coverage of his situation. Our current government will not release him despite pressure from the public and the opposition government. For sure there is support in the UK because if UK hands over Julian Assange, UK has proven itself to be a complete puppet regime, okay, and that's all it is. And this will be the end of anything, resembling even remotely powerful United Kingdom. It will be a laptop. It will be laughed upon globally that it is just a mini puppet that is being dangled around, right? Because it destroys everything that justice represents, right? That being said, when you say there's a lot of support, you don't need or there's massive support. I don't, I didn't see ten, not even that, not thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. You need, in the UK, you need minimum beginning with tens of thousands of people shutting the system down and getting Julian Assange out of jail. You need hundreds of thousands of people into the streets demanding his release. Julian Assange, if citizens of the UK can free Julian Assange, the world that will be the catalyst for the world to begin to go in a positive direction. If the UK is allowed to hand over Julian Assange to the US, that is Western society's fate, okay, is sealed for the next two decades. Be prepared if that is the case.

Today we're going to be measuring the density of beer. Now the procedure that I'm going to be doing works actually with any type of liquid. First what we need to do is we need to know the mass of the liquid. Now liquids always come with their containers, so we're going to measure the mass with the container and then from that we're going to extract the mass of the container and that will give me the mass of liquid. Once I have that I can calculate my density as mass over volume. First of all I'm going to start measuring the mass of my container. I'm going to be using a glass of which I know the amount of liquid that it can hold. Here it says 0.5 liters. Some of your kitchen scale maybe have a zero button so you could skip this step, but in case you don't have this I'm going to do the complete step-by-step approach here. So I have 759 grams for my container. Now comes the fun step. We're going to add the liquid. So now I can measure the mass with the liquid inside and what I get is 1255 grams. So what I have to do now, I have to subtract the 759 from the 1255, so 1255 minus 759 gives me 496 grams. And now I can do by calculation mass of the beer 496 gram over my volume. On my glass it indicates it can hold up to the line where I filled it to 0.5 liters with one significant figure. Usually densities are given in grams per millilitre, so I'm going to convert that to millilitre. So 1000 millilitre is a liter, so half a liter is 500 millilitre. I'm going to calculate this 496 divided by 500 and I get 0.992. Now due to the rules of significant figures, I have one, two, three significant figures here. I have only one significant figure down here. I couldn't measure it more precise than that. I will have to round this to one significant figure. So the answer is around one one gram per millilitres. Now if I go online and I google this apparently depends on the type of beer that I'm using, but all of them are within the one gram per millimetre. Of course my measurement here is not very precise because I only have one significant figure on my measuring device here. So I'm a bit limited but I get in the correct order of magnitudes. If I look it up, it is around one grams per millilitre. If you don't have a kitchen scale to do this, maybe you can do this also on a regular scale. What you have to do here is you will have to stand on the scale with the beer in your hand and then you take the mass of the liquid plus the container plus you and then you measure yourself again.  The higher the volume that you're taking, the more precise it will be with that scale. However, the limit right now here is my device here which only had one marking at 0.5 liters which created a low amount of significant figures which then only gave me an answer with one significant figure.


SecNav visited sailors and held an all-hands call in Diego Garcia this past weekend. He reinforced the importance of presence and how it enables our mission to operate forward. I came to Diego Garcia to do a couple of things. One is to see it and see the facilities that you've got here. But the other one is to visit our sailors who live here, work here, and tell them the importance of the job that they're doing. This Diego Garcia has been critical to us in the past. It remains critical. It's going to be critical to us. As we go forward, it allows our fleet to do what we need to do. It allows us to have the most important thing, which is presence. SecNav also emphasized the importance of military exercises with regional partners and the Navy's pivot to the Pacific. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris.


Yeah, coming up next is our next speaker and next and last speaker for the day who will be taking up the topic creating an ingress control app and That will be handled by Immanuel, I can't pronounce his surname. I'm sorry so Immanuel is a certified Kubernetes administrator who has fallen in love with the idea of Kubernetes and What it can do and today he'll be giving us how to create an ingress controller of course with Kubernetes So over to you, Immanuel. Good to have you here Thank you very much It's nice to be here this is my Thank you very much Yes, so you can I actually share your screen so we can get started and I'll be sharing my screen I'll be talking about Sorry, yes I'm talking about creating an ingress controller, so I've been introduced by the speaker. My name is Immanuel Shobali and I'm a software engineer my Kubernetes What is an ingress controller? I'll be trying to explain most of this concept Sorry Immanuel, some of the audience can't be here I'm going to use the controller as a deployment and the Kubernetes that helps manage ingress resources and perform Yes, and perform tasks So it's managed this resource and ingress resources and try to like any instruction as given by this ingress resource tries to try them out It is it is a solution in Kubernetes that manages the thread flows like configuring SSL subscript and post And there are different types of ingress controller There's the one by Google Cloud Platform There's the internets There's the ingress controller and there's the FTA proxy Or this is the reason Kubernetes internets To create an ingress controller, there are some components you are going to make One of the components is like you need to create a name space Where the all that you are going to create Specifically for this ingress controller are going to be hosted And also a conflict map The servers are going to be created A rule and a rule binding Cluster run Number six, depending on where you are hosting this ingress controller You can either use if you are hosting it on your computer or maybe locally You will use the node pod to ensure that you are hosted then If you are hosting it on a cloud platform You use a node balancer to expose your ingress controller And the last thing we create is also an ingress class So I'll go over all these different components so that for people that do not have an idea of what this is If I go into my terminal So I try to like make those very simple Introduction to these different concepts What is the name space? The name space Is used in Kubernetes to isolate resources And it's also up to defining and managing permissions And in a name spawn rate, resources that are name spaced can be created So there are some resources There are resources that are not name spaced Like you have your nodes These are not name spaced resources And it cannot be created in the name space But a persistent volume A config map and name spaced resources And it can be created in the name space Next, to create a config map Is used to store non-configuration information in key files Chairs and so on Name spaced also So this will help us to store some information Which regards to the Kubernetes controller The latest controller of the 13 A service account A service account helps us It allows processes and codes To connect and authenticate with Kubernetes FJR7 Before they can work properly They need to be assigned to permissions And then these permissions are authenticated by Kubernetes FJR7 And this allows processes to have the required access And they need to perform whatever they need to do Then we have rules and rule by team Before a service account can perform optimally They need to be assigned to the rule and the rule by team So a rule is used to define the level of access and resources that an entity can access to And rules are name spaced Why we go binding help us to assign the rule to a service It can be a user, it can be a group, and it can be a service account So this will give that entity That has been assigned that rule The permission that it will ask It is also a name spaced object And we have cluster rule and cluster rule binding A cluster rule Cluster rules are used to define permissions And the resources is similar to the rule that we talked about earlier But it is not name spaced It gives you access to access to defined permissions So it is just the same as this And we also have cluster rule binding For cluster rule binding It helps us to bind, to grant, to use the pattern To permission just created What the rule, the rule we are just created Cluster rule may be used It helps us to assign it to a service account The group or user About cluster rule binding Because Then we go to the node port or looper The node port Will be used to expose our application This allows the application to accept outside of the cluster rule It's like before you can assign the node The node port for example Use the node port level to map where it wants the traffic to send to Then also for loop balancers Loop balancers are used and recommended by cloud providers If you apply the provider with your site name and IP Then the traffic will be coming to the IP of the directory The service or the code that you are coding for So the final thing we'll talk about here is interest class An interest class is used to map an interest controller So for an interest controller When you are creating an interest controller It is now important like From a particular version in an interest This is the main component where you have to specify an interest class When you are creating an interest controller So that it's easy to know exactly where you are It's important to expose your node port for your sites So this interest class helps us like Know which interest controller is responsible for serving up to To help our life to To perform the tasks that are defined by the interest system So the interest class helps us specify Who is going to perform that task We will specify it later in the transfer That's why it's when you are creating the interest controller You also specify it when you are creating the interest system That's that Then we'll try to do some practical now Go via what you have us Talk about now So I'm I'll be using killer code now This will allow everyone that is watching now Maybe if you watch later You can give it to us Use this Try this Try this Then later also So killer code I don't need to install Cognitism To use this So I'll just go to killer code And try to avoid you open the tab This is my site And the files that I'm going to use for this Then I'll access you In this way And share So now I'll share this The link to this slide Since we the Organizers So the first step we take now is Creating an interest controller So I'll use this command And what this command does is it creates It creates all it can make To make my Interest controller Watch all those components Talk about failure The config map For us Just want to That Create the namespace The service account The rules The cluster rule The rule binding The cluster rule binding The config map Are the Is the node code service Then this is the interest controller And then the Ingress class All engines So I'll I'll check if What I've put in this I'll just put it here That's namespace So that's my new namespace For programs Showing path to Let I'm Configuring that I don't know if anybody is able to follow around Who is able to I'm trying to follow around Showing around And share this slide with you I'm going to check I'm checking the Checking Confirming if the config map I've created The system I've created And as you've created This here What is it I've created I'm going to check the interest controller And put it into This to the front So it just has to be created No, so do not put them to the check But do not put them See if there's anything So I've checked this I'm going to put this Confirm to test it if It's also given an error of 4 or 4 If there's an issue with the server So it's given an error of 4 or so This is working I've not routed it to any application So this is just Selling me 4 or 4 Not found All right now I'll be next in a few minutes I'll create I'll create a code So if you have not developed a code Is to perform In a code component It's the smallest department That's competing on They are used to manage They are created to manage on more content And also they can house moda One point in a house moda 1.9 To create a code I have created a So doctyne Which is what we use for this And this Command is very simple So what this command does is It runs this image So it creates a code And it exposes the code And it gives it the name In case it's here So that is what it does Committed the example That is what I decided to call my code So the code The code is created in the default mode This I'll try to check it out I'll see that You see that it's running The next thing I'll do is Expose my code And I'll see here I'll expose it In the code 15 Which is like the default It's easy to be called But where your web application is from For the code to be It will be receiving Not then To receive an request from 8080 then to send it to 80 So anyone that tries to assess this Service will be prepared Going to Assess it on the test Let me see if The service Let me see the service I just prepared So this is it So I'll test this to see if it's working So my application has started working With the next process This is awesome The next step will take good Next step now Is to create an ingress resource An ingress resource is used to specify Rules for your code like The route Is substituted hosts Like you can specify all these different rules In an ingress resource And so that people outside Outside the cluster can read classes Application Would create this ingress resource to expose Service So what this does is Ash It's prefected here So what this does is It creates an ingress resource called KCDA In the class Remember I talked about classes in ingress interest class And you know the class you created was called Internet So I'm telling this ingress resource To check To use the class Internet when it's creating And also Here I'm specifying the service issues So this rule is just telling that Anybody that does access the input Take him to this Website To this service for this application And use this port Which is port 80 To give him access to the application That's what this course I'm going to do I was wrong to just read So I'm not running it again So I've successfully created I'm not going to check my ingress resource You can see here that's ingress I'm able to see my ingress resource And I did not specify anything to Anything that's what I get from there So that is And now we try to fill this service Just our application now I will go to my right Here I see traffic port And I will try to Assess my But first I will check Which port is my application Of which port is hope to do the not port Because the not port Also expose the ingress controller To any service Any application I selected To the ingress controller Here the ingress resource Can be between the website So if you get service And you can Assessing this to anyone outside Because I'm sorry Nice place There's no place for ingress So I'm seeing the port for my 80 traffic is 350 So I'm going to test this So I use this And test my application So this is the app you just created It's telling you thank you for listening And you have successfully created an ingress controller And can see this And I also say Then it's also showing you today's tips Thank you very much I'm important to my slide You are ready for your app So thank you very much for listening And please share what you have learned If you can and should support Social media I also want to connect with my friends If you have any questions about Kubernetes Any of your services are prepared Feel free to reach out to me I would always be happy to respond Thank you very much That's the end of my presentation Awesome Thank you so much Imano for that section You can also share your slides here Just in case For those who want to refer back To all the information that is on that slide I'm sure lots of persons will find it handy too All right So is there any questions please Avui Avua Karyo muted No my me I think for now there has not been any question It was a very good presentation And the sessions are coded And they will be splitted subsequently And uploaded to the CNCF YouTube channel So definitely you will see a lot more feedback Subsequent even if you don't get any now I don't think I can hear you Mano Is this speaking Oh thank you so much sir I was muted I was muted sir thank you very much Thank you Awesome This is not a question to this short But thank you Yeah no worries at least We all get to close on time So awesome thank you very much for Giannino's And we look forward to hearing from you In our subsequent events


Thank you all for being here This is my first time Being in my new community. I think I have tried to I haven't cried actually since before the sub-densing hearing so I've done a pretty good job of kind of treating California as my new chapter in life and therefore Kind of left North Carolina back there. So it's it's a little hard trying to reconcile seeing the faces of loved ones and my now new community and Bringing that all together I see faces of love and I appreciate it But damn this is hard I don't I intentionally actually didn't want to take too much time I've only partially seen Mohammed's piece a couple years back and I Was not able to sit through all of it I think because of my PTSD I was just literally paralyzed and frozen and couldn't leave So I actually saw it this time But with all that to say The goal of today was actually to take us from that horrific moment to and now what I'll take just a couple minutes to give you updates People have requested to learn a little more on Kind of from the legal standpoint the trial updates The hate crime conviction And then from there. I'm actually going to give it to Sumaya our director of operations to walk you through what we've been doing at our three winners foundation I think Mohammed did a good job of quickly kind of summarizing from it from a trial standpoint But he basically pled Guilty to murder in the first degree on three accounts for life in prison without parole They presented evidence Is it okay if I skip this part? He kind of already shared it, so I'm just gonna skip it the one part that I think is important as it relates to the work and our foundation was During the sentencing hearing the state brought in expert testimony from Professor Somers who is an expert on bias He's a professor of psychology at Tufts University And he's been called upon more than 30 times to testify in court and as it relates to issues of bias and As he went through all the evidence found that there was Bias in how he treated the at your senator's end other than the obvious fact that he killed them but That he treated people of color in the neighborhood with more aggression and brandished his gun only to people of color But then it was only the Muslims that he killed And also that there was bias in how He believed that there were Renters in the condo and not people who owned a condo and therefore didn't have the same parking rights So to speak again, this has nothing to do with parking, but The fact that he had turned himself in Chuckling during his confession with blood on his person Calling it a parking dispute for the police then to take that narrative and run with it and For us to this day fighting that really harmful hurtful unjust narrative That it was actually a an ask that we made during the press conference right after the sentencing hearing they said what can we do since people know this as a parking dispute and as you may know this sentencing hearing got Practically zero national media coverage And we said for the police department to set the record state and hours later. They issued an apology Four and a half years too late. I appreciated that it happened at all. Most people don't get that and then the piece about the hate crime Get a lot of questions about Was their hate crime conviction the answer is no and the reason is because in the state of North Carolina The hate crime statute applies only to misdemeanors so not to felonies like murder but To misdemeanors such as graffiti or destruction of property But because that law doesn't actually exist. He couldn't be tried for hate crime Now our communities urging for this to be tried as a hate crime federally Worked and that the FBI opened an investigation into this being a hate crime But given the way the legal system works cases are first prosecuted on a state level and if you get the maximum sentence possible for The murderer then there's no point From a sentencing standpoint to pursue it on a federal level. So given that the maximum sentence This killer could get was life in prison. There was no point In going to federal and getting that hate crime Conviction so you saw snippets of Dliat's plea As he was crowdfunding for a dental relief trip that him and you so we're planning on going on the following summer That campaign was live when everything happened a lot of money poured in and It was then on the families to decide what to do with it and how best to Honor their dream We continued with an annual project refugee smiles doing dental relief trips to Syrian refugees in Turkey and a couple years and we've Often wondered that while this is Noble charitable work that is a Sadaqa Jaria in their name and We've started an endowment to allow this to be sustainable giving for generations to come It doesn't address the lethal islamophobia that has not allowed for Dliat you said understand to continue the kind of work that they were so passionate about and so we have since moved towards our mission of Eliminating eliminating hate one implicit bias at a time We did a lot of research and surveying of the landscape to see what kind of work is already being done on Eliminating hate we saw that there was a lot of work that was reactive to the hate But what can we do to prevent it and Aside from actually work with just the nonprofit Myself I was asking myself the question of how why how can someone do this?  How can you justify taking a Gun to the to the heads of three kids and in the political climate that we live in and with fear being the emotion that our President triggered and fear is arguably the most powerful emotion that we have as humans With fear We can other eyes people and when we other eyes them we can dehumanize them and When we dehumanize them we can justify violence against them and I later learned that this has actually been studied and Suggested and there's a whole pyramid of hate to describe this and at the pinnacle You reach genocide So at our three winners foundation, we decided to work at the base To talk about to work on implicit biases What are implicit biases some people have heard of it others haven't but Basically unconscious attitudes and stereotypes we have to particular groups of people They're not good. They're not bad. They're Facts of human psychology our brains work in a manner of Categorizing things and objects and people because that's the way our brain can process them but the categories and the Adjectives and descriptors and qualities that we attribute to each of these groups are Engrained in us as We grow in these social groups and structures and communities were influenced Whether we know it or not through what we see through media through our upbringing in our textbooks. I Encourage you all to take the Harvard implicit bias tests and they have different categories on Woman in the workplace, you know, I have I have friends who are multi-generation Women who are CEOs and yet when they have taken the test they saw that they had an implicit bias Favoring women being in the in the home So these are implicit biases we carry Oftentimes favoring groups that we belong to but not always The classic example is also white people and black people and you're asked this question to associate good qualities with either group and bad qualities with either group and Many people will start identifying and have implicit biases that will shock many of us as we take them You can take it about weight about gender about sexuality There's one on Arabs and Muslims and it's really damning to see at the report and the results of the many many Thousands of people who've taken it and how unfavorable people view Arabs and Muslims To lighten it up just a little bit. I was reading a bedtime story with my two-year-old and We have this book where a Mommy-wearing hijab is taking her toddler son to the doctor and the male doctor is using his stethoscope to listen to the kid's heart and And as a physician my husband not being a physician My son loves to play with mama's stethoscope and he'll put it on and want to listen to my heart and daddy's heart And he'll say Baba doctor Baba doctor and I would and it's amazing Mama's the doctor, but these is how it's ingrained from a really young age images matter narratives matter Despite my trying to debunk it it has yet to happen, but hopefully one day he will he will learn So to move us forward because I do want to give Sumiya the floor We just graduated our inaugural cohort of fellows from the Social Inclusion Institute in partnership with UC Berkeley's Haas Institute for Fair and Inclusive Society and Islamophobia research and documentation project The fellowship engages policymakers and their staff members Interested in debiasing unlearning harmful stereotypes and narratives of different target groups and creating more equitable policies that use research not tropes to formulate interventions It sounded like a mouthful, but it's amazing work and I'm so proud of The work that Sumiya has done in spearheading this fellowship and now I will give this to Sumiya


In this module, we will talk about the foam control system in fermentation process or in a fermenter while talking about the fermenter design. Foam control is an essential element of the operation of a sparse bioreactor. So, in case of the mixing, agitation system and oxygen delivery system associate to each other when they work and the process is going on then what happen then depend upon the nature of the medium what happen the foam will produce. As you can see in this picture that the head space is totally filled by the foam just this is just an example of two-liter laboratory actor. So, if in such case when there is a condition when foam is produced the production of foam can effect on the oxygen solubility on one point and the second the existence of the foam that also make the column and then there is a loss of the fermentation medium to the exact air point. So, the excessive foam formation when that tend to go from the exact point that can choke the air sterilization system which we called as the filter. So, in such case then there is any disturbance so that can cause any pressure inside that so there are so many happening that can happen. So, in little case we can do that we use when there is no blockage either there is removal of that and when we have no any direct manual look in what happen then there is gradually loss of the medium and then we cannot have some in case in the absence of the operating personnel then there is a risk. So, to avoid this risk in case of the foam then the foam has to be controlled. The foam can be controlled by the addition of some chemicals so the chemicals having a two type of nature one is anti foaming properties and other has the deformer properties. So, some chemicals known as the anti foams mean they hindered the production of the foam. So we add some anti foaming agents before the formation of the foam so when there is a foam produce and then we can add some deformers but commonly the word is anti foam is used. So, if we add a suitable anti foam but there is very critical while having selecting and the choice of the anti foams. In later module we will talk about that what will be the quality of the anti foams because anti foam has to directly enter into the fermentation medium that can have the toxic effect on the organism as well as mostly the anti foams can also effect on the oxygen solubility. So that is why we have to very careful about selecting the anti foams which we will talk about in our later module.


for the sake of romance, usually be for commerce and romance with local women will come about in the process. But, Luke, anything to say about what I brought up? So, I notice even married men, even rabbis who don't have children, they're out there seeking adventure and excitement, not necessarily sexual, but men do feel a strong drive for adventure. And it tends to get met once they get married and have kids, right? Having kids usually provides all the excitement that most men need. But until men have kids, I just noticed that just constantly out there thrill seeking. And it's hard for communities, it's hard for churches, it's hard for synagogues to compete with the excitement that seems to be out there. But it can compete if it offers a quality of social connection that fills people up, right?  If people are getting the connection, the friendship, the bonding that they yearned for, if they're getting that at home, they're much less likely to go seeking for it around the world. So, there are churches that provide a genuine sense of community and human connection and some kind of transcendent drive or overarching theme to people's life that makes life more coherent and just simply operate better. And so, people will throw in their lot with those churches rather than seek thrills. So, too, with Orthodox synagogues, right? There are plenty of Orthodox synagogues where men will come to pray three times a day because the quality of the human connection, quality of their bonds in that synagogue, just vastly transcends what they might expect to get from the thrills that are available in the secular world.  These are frequently manifestations of some brokenness from people who never learn to connect in a normal way. But we can build up communities and have genuine connection with people. One of the pieces of feedback that I've often received is that I have a good energy. So, in a sense, I am well suited to be a passport bro in that I can go certainly anywhere in the English speaking world and I can meet people in the park. I can just talk to people in the park and form connections with people that last for years. And if I have a good energy, I can show up to a new place, meet people, connect and start to develop a community. If you're at ease with yourself and you have a realistic sense of who you are and what your weaknesses are, then it makes it much easier to engage with other people in an authentic, honest way. And you can start to form bonds wherever you go in the world and you can participate in a community and create the type of human connection that fills people up so that they don't have to go seeking the cheap thrills. Like, if you get the real thing, you're not gonna be driven to seek the meretricious, the showy, the prettily dressed but ultimately fake and soul deadening. So if people develop that real connection, that real bond with others, then that's usually gonna fill them up so that they will not devote themselves to cheap thrills.
