For those of you who are standing around and are wondering what to listen to, I invite you to join this hub. I'm honored to be the first of eight conversations we're going to have today about the emerging markets and technology. Two days ago, the world population hit 8 billion people. It's an incredible number. If you walk around this conference today, you will see that most of the companies you meet are trying to fix problems for the very top tier of that 8 billion people. Actually, if I push you harder, I'll tell you something that will sit hard on all of our brains. Close to 50% of that 8 billion people live under $5 a day. And what we're building at Jabu is a revolutionizing marketplace and an iconic brand that's going to help uplift the emerging markets. About eight years ago, I'm originally from Venezuela, and I grew up in the United States. And about eight years ago, I moved to a country in Southern Africa called Namibia. Namibia is about 32 years since independence. I moved to a really small town in the very north of Namibia called Chirot Fontein. And then I went even further and I started building housing and schools and clinics. And my dream was that I wanted to bring sustainable housing opportunities and scale that across the region. I soon found that construction is really hard to scale. But something happened to me in 2017 that changed my life. I met this woman, Inge Shatona Shakope. In that point that you see on my Google map, in the town of Ruacana, right at the border between Namibia and Angola, Inge came to me with the equivalent of $200 and said, Tate David, I actually want to buy 20 bags of cement from you. Now this woman ran that little shop in that little town and my brother and I were the first builders to build housing there. Supermarkets came after us, banks came after us. I was shocked that a woman that sold onions for less than five cents of a US dollar came up to me with $200 US cash ready to buy 20 bags of cement. So I said, sure, I'll sell them to you from our depot. But I want to know where you want me to bring that cement. So I'll bring it for free. And she took me, forget the pictures on the right, she took me to that part on the left. To an informal sector in the very north, in the middle of nowhere, there's 2,000 people in this town. And this lady made about $100 revenue every month. She had built 30,000 cement bricks on her own by hand over the last two years. And here I was with this massive dream that I'm going to go build housing. She's showing me off with tiny to no income. Actually my brother Sam had gone to China the year before and we spent $40,000 on a brick making machine. I was pissed when I saw that because I thought there's probably a competitor selling bricks that I don't even know about. And she said, no, no, no, no, I made them myself with this little thing I have. Her story is an incredible story, an incredible story of resilience about what the merchant can do with a little shop like this to actually end up with a house like that. And that's the day we decided we're going to go build Jabu. Jabu today is the fastest growing B2B marketplace that supports these little stores all across southern Africa. We operate in Namibia, Zambia, South Africa with current plans expansion in Botswana and Eswatini. When we first started, no investor in this room, I can guarantee it, wanted to hear our story. Namibia has 2 million people. And they said to me, go build something in Nigeria or Kenya or South Africa. In less than two years, we do millions of dollars in revenue a month just in Namibia. We're backed by Tiger Global and Y Combinator and the Ford Capital and we're expanding and scaling to build a brand that comes from within. These are soccer teams inside the community. We're not building a marketplace. We're not building an e-commerce. We're building a brand inside the community that is going to guide the growth and upliftment of every single informal sector retailer. We started there in the bottom left. It wasn't even an e-commerce app. It was me with my construction truck and five amazing ladies screaming off the top of my truck cooking oil, sugar, maize meal, who needs it? And people would come and give me a blessing and a cash payment.  I never knew who I sold what to or if I even picked up the right amount of money. So tech had to come in. We built an e-commerce app. We started building now a wallet. We recently acquired a ride hailing app, Taxi Connect. This is the first time I talk about it publicly. And we're going to build a super app of sorts that is going to uplift not just the merchant but every single person they interact with. This is what we do. We digitize the orders so that I no longer have to drive around screaming, cooking oil and sugar. We optimize the shipments through a technology called JIL, Jabu inventory logistics and labor inside of all of our distribution centers. And we give this merchant's dignity. We do same-day delivery. When I first met these merchants, not even Coca-Cola was delivering to them. Today Coca-Cola is giving us their database of clients and saying please deliver to them. I'm not even going to sell you on the Africa opportunity. The fact that I'm standing here at Slush and that Slush is paying attention for the first time to the emerging markets means that the future of this conference will include many more startups like ours that are driving the conversation about development. But this is where we are. We're in southern Africa, a land that is more beautiful than anything you can imagine with people that are kinder than you can think and with money that floats in places that you never thought you would invest in. We're growing and scaling at about 30% a month currently in less than two years we're running over a 24 million run rate. Our team, when I made this slide, was about 200 and I've recycled it, but it's actually 329 people from all around the world. This is the woman we're serving. Not only Inga Shatona Shakope Bajohana, who moved to a capital and said, I want to bring a better future for my kids and I want to send them to university. And her shop can only look like that if there is a supply chain, an e-commerce platform and a payments platform that's willing to support her. This is the problem we're solving. Don't get me wrong, we're not replacing anyone, we're creating something that wasn't there. The typical shop owner works out of an informal sector shop, takes a taxi to a supermarket where you buy the same products that you take home. They buy at retail prices, they drive all the way back to their shop and they try to resell it for a margin, but guess what? To the lowest bottom part of the economy from an income level at a price much higher than you pay at your convenience store. We're solving that by bringing an everyday supply chain. Think of sorts of an Amazon but for informal sector shops that you can actually trust and depend on. We have another site to our business that I don't often talk about in public but we cannot do without. We have to engage the brands. Most of the companies we talk to come to us and say, we're already doing it, we'd sell to supermarkets, supermarkets sell to them. We're not replacing the supply chain through supermarkets. We're expanding it. If Joanna's shop runs out of sugar, she's waiting a week before she can go back to use money to buy that again. So we have an engagement platform with the brands where they can see not only all the trucks that they are distributing with, but every KPI you can dream of about how this sector is revolutionizing their actual supply chain. Recently we've launched the Jabu Academy. We realize very early on we cannot do this unless we're growing our team from inside out and the academy makes sure that even if you did not study accounting, you can dream for a future working in our business inside that sector. When I said we work inside the community, I mean it. I am a Venezuelan Jew whose parents are from Morocco that doesn't fit into Namibia, Zambia, or South Africa. But every single person you see there is a community member who we engage and explain the mission of what we're trying to build.  It's the same merchants that are going around self-mapping, self-digitizing, and self-engaging to start ordering. We measure everything, how many items we sell, how our basket size is improving. Woman drive our biggest truck and retailers are now starting to use technology to drive the future of their businesses. Now I told you we pick up millions of dollars in cash. So if you want to hear more, we're looking to hire and that's one of the things I'm most excited about here, to get you to engage with the emerging market at a personal level. The amount of skill sets in this room trying to solve problems that are not having even as close an impact as what we experience every day. I invite you to come build our wallet. We're actually starting to digitize millions of dollars in payments every day. That's our headquarter in Namibia, a beautiful workspace. That's the face of the hundreds of thousands of merchants that we're going to go serve. These are our operations in Zambia and that's the ecosystem we're going to build as we scale our super app to empower thousands of retailers in southern Africa. Thank you very much.


Okay, berapa banyak orang di sini yang tak berminat dengan gtp or privacy issues dan sebagainya? Well, that's a handful. 8 jam lagi. 8 jam lagi. 8 jam lagi? Oh iya, sebelum malam ini. Jadi gtp sepatutnya untuk berjumpa dalam hari ini sebenarnya. So just a self introduction. I'm Robert. So what I do for my full time is that I'm actually a technical solutions consultant at attribute data. Attribute data is actually a analytics consultancy firm but we also do get a lot of other requests from clients like how do we do privacy and stuff like that as well. On the side, what I do for fun, I do mostly on things on WordPress. My own side is a test bait for a lot of different technologies. And I also, like I mentioned, I translate for Chinese plugins and teams. My interest of technology and coral singing. So before I start on really on that on gtp, I'm not a lawyer obviously. So this is not a legal advice. If you really want legal advice, go and find a lawyer please. So don't get me into your lawsuits if you go and get one. So gtp stands for general data protection regulations. It's a EU law that has 20 years of history. It started in 1996 and finally approved in 2016. And it's acted in today.  But the usual human as we always does delay and procrastinate everything. So what it actually does simply is to legalise human rights to personal data. So in the past anyone can just use your data and no one can protest to it. Whereas with this regulation, give a lot of legal firepower to people over their own personal data. And some of you might say that, we have PDBA which is actually the Protection Data Protection Act, which was out a thing two years back as well. Both has the same extra thorough reach in the sense that if you are dealing with data of, let's say for PDBA, if you're doing data with Singaporeans and you're based on overseas, you're still liable under PDBA. For GDPR, if you are dealing with data that belongs to EU person or EU resident, doesn't it be citizen, people who stay in EU, or even EU-based companies, companies with headquarters in EU, you will be liable under GDPR. PDBA has a lot of provisions that allows for exceptions which GDPR doesn't have. So let me just go through some of them. If you find this speaking very fast, that's because I have 15 slides in 15 minutes. So first, it has a limited scope. It doesn't actually apply to all personal data processing activities. Certain government activities that allow you to just collect information and you don't know that it's collected. Business contact information that is already out in public is also excluded, or any public information that is out, say maybe on a news network and stuff like that, that is also excluded from the personal data processing activities and stuff like that. Consent-wise, for Singapore, it's very limited in scope in the sense that if you see a lot of contests and stuff, you will see things like tick here and you are liable for marketing materials and stuff like that. Or sometimes the US don't even give a tick. It's like, by entering these contests, you will receive our marketing activities in GDPR. It doesn't allow for that. For any relevant personal data that is remotely to a purpose, it can be collected in Singapore, meaning you say that as long as the organisation thinks that piece of information out there is relevant to that activity, even though it's not now, but maybe in the future, you just collect and keep it. There's no such thing as data minimalisation. Next thing is that a purpose for data collection, although it needs to be appropriate and be reasonable, it do not need to be specific for dim consent. Dim consent meaning to say that for example that I raised earlier, if you enter contests, we've just a disclaimer to say that hey, you'll be spend with marketing materials and stuff like that. You don't need to actually give a purpose for that. You also have limited access to your data in the organisations. You can only access up to one year of history of how the organisation process or data or give out of data. You say that if the organisation give out the data to some other organisation that did some other stuff, bad stuff to your data like two years back, wouldn't know. For correction wise, if the company things that or organisation things that you don't need to collect, if they do not need to corai it, they won't corai it at all. Erasure wise for PDBA is very limited. It simply states that if the company things that you do not need to use the data anymore, you erase it. But we all know that doesn't really happen. So for GDPR, it's very strict when it comes to data. Relevant reach for Singapore-based sites or businesses is that if you have any data, if you're interacting with or collecting data from person or organisation within EU, you'll be liable for any lawsuits arises from GDPR. The principles of GDPR is that the data, there's six of them in general, data shall be processed lawfully and fairly in a transparent manner. You have to be upfront to what you're collecting the data for. You'll be very specific what you're collecting the data for and probably for how long as well. You can't collect data without explaining what you're using it and the purpose has to be very legit. You cannot be very nefarious about that. Data processing shall be limited to what is necessary for the purpose. You cannot collect all kinds of data. You need to say that if the data that is required is just only your email address and your name and that's it. They shouldn't collect beyond your home beyond that. They won't want your home address, your phone number and your kids information. Stuff like this as well. Okay. Sorry about that. Okay. And that's number three. Number four, data shall be accurate and kept up to date and correct. Well, this one it's more towards data processors and controllers. Processors and controllers basically people that possess or data. So processors can possess data on behalf of controllers who basically hold your data. Controllers can be processors as well. They have to be accurate. So we need to say that if you request for data and then say, hey, this data needs to be updated. They have to do that for you. They can't say, oh, it's too costly. Therefore, I won't do it for you. All right. Data shall be kept so that it defies no longer than is necessary. Like I say if you want to keep data for people forever that if there's no reason to keep it for. So let's say if you run a contest for six months, and then within that six months or after that six months contest you should just script the entire list of information unless you have specific chat box to say we would like to receive future marketing materials and stuff like that. Okay. You have to take reasonable steps to protect your data. So this goes hand in hand with the regulation of that if there's a data breach of if there's a data breach you have to report within 72 hours to the authorities in EU. So EU has every country has their own authoritative body you can actually select which country that you want to do. So at the moment it's all same balance and equal but my personal opinion is that because different countries have different what I say cultures so you can choose somewhere that is more relaxed with data privacy but that is for that's in the future we'll find the future. So how to go about with GDPR is that you don't buy or use third party of of previous information why? because you don't get explicit consent in the first place so you can't use that if you have to scrape it off because once the complaint reach to the EU body the EU body will ask you what's happening if you have existing user data segment them according to EU or EAA is basically the European Economic Area is larger than EU because some countries are not part of EU but this document is actually applicable to EAA countries as well and a separate segment for UK the reason why a separate segment for UK is because of Brexit right right now it's uncertain of how long or how is it going to be done so a lot of experts out there they say UK as a separate bracket and if they exit EU and these two keep GDPR as part of their law national law then at least you are safe right and then versus the rest of the world and the rest of the world you can just do anything you want with it but in accordance to of course national laws right for unknowns like people things that you do not know people that you do not know whether they are EU or whatever countries personally I would treat it as EU citizens or EU interest but this is personal preference right if you have existing meaning this you have to get as please sit consent specific to the purpose if you do not do that in the first place so if you had ask if you have if your meaning list already had the provision you don't need to spend your users again ask hey we would like to opt in again because you already have opted in before right for social media sorry but before that update privacy policy if you don't have privacy policy put it up there to say what you use the data for how you use the data where the data is going and stuff like that social media wise don't worry about it because it's covered by social media their own TNCs and privacy policy and their own tools so if they screw up their problem is not yours for direct meal and phone calls so direct meal and phone calls if you are engaging into B2B kind of businesses this is interesting because you can actually call the person let's say if I want to link up with a friend of Zion who is doing maybe some Java programming right Zion probably will just ask his friend hey can you pass pass your phone number to me and that's that is actually okay because it's considered as legitimate interest there's a huge there's a provision for such stuff right but if in the future let's say it will do your own B2B marketing and stuff like that and you call a person and the person say hey stop calling me in the future drop in don't call him anymore so you got to track who opt out from from your calling list right and yes get a lawyer right please do or get a GDPR consultant but then again this is a joke that I saw on Facebook do you know good GDPR consultant yes can I share? no right because I don't have consent right so what happen if there's no compliance the headlines is always you get 5 out of 2 million euros or 4% of global and no turnover but that is the last resort that the EU body will put onto you the first issue with your warning will reprimand and ask you to stop what you're doing before they find you right so there are steps that there are escalating steps so once you if you hit the warning please just do what you need to do to comply right so the thing is that the deadline is today right so in the past few days I've seen a lot of emails coming out hey we have updated our privacy policy hey we would like to re-op in to our mailing list for people who have missed the boat meaning sink in the deadline just do what you need to comply to the law right because it's not always that the law once you set in and people will just catch out it's not like the PMD since Singapore so maybe just maybe we'll just get off with a light warning I don't know who coping on that for work press specific update to 4.9.6 so 4.9.6 is specifically for privacy policy the privacy tools right so there's a lot of privacy tools that I will go through later repress.org themselves process of complying but they have done like 95% of the work already remaining 5% they are finishing up soon as well if I'm not mistaken if you're for your own plug-ins and teams that you've installed review them because they might drop in things like cookies they might track some certain data and send back to your own servers for your own diagnostics and stuff like that be aware of what they do right if you're not aware you are liable as well because you go to your own site in the first place review your own marketing stack right because work press alone is not for business work press itself is not it's not sufficient you'll be using things like new chain or other kinds of marketing automation tools right so review a stack make sure that they are compliant as well right so for 4.946 what they give out is a privacy policy page generator right it's a boilerplate kind of thing where we've straightforward legalize but a lot of people read it you still have to edit it because you have to put in things like where you track your data what you track your data weave and stuff like that for commenting wise there's a new option there's a new function to get consent to save for NIM and email address and website on the browser why because of cookies right you can't see an emoji that's cookie so the last part is data handling you can export your data person data out in a zip file which is the feature of GDPR data portability the idea is that if the person don't like do we to use our service they can extract data out and then jumpa-ship to another service right so you can export person data in a zip file including data help by the plug-ins or that that has the privacy hooks in place as well they also can erase personal data including data collector by participating plug-ins for plug-ins and teams like I mentioned where and how data is called itself whoever cookies that they are using because cookies tracking is also they don't like bonus or not so bonus is to integrate with the privacy tools that WordPress has right now marketing stack so final word is that GDPR is an ongoing compliance exercise why because there's always new tools or things break over time there are new marketing strategy and new content new needs, new debt so you got to periodically review stuff like that it's never too late to start if you haven't do your GDPR right now go ahead and do it right now it's like when I was in the US one month back for my tech conference they were like hey this is one month this one month you really need one month you can finish out your GDPR compliance after one month all of you have been doing it and I think right now it's only up 52% of the fortune hundred is doing has complied the rest is not so again not legal advice yeah so that's all this is another joke he's making a list he's tricking it twice he's going to file it's not there nice and Santa Claus is in contravene of GDPR Article 4 it's basically a list of all the definitions under GDPR yeah yeah this is a list of not so personal data it's basically a list of all the resources that you can refer to which I actually refer on particularly I want to look at treasure data marketers guide and the unstoppable mama's guide as well for these two are very concise in the stuff that they summarise for GDPR and what to do as well if you want to see a very fun privacy policy example you can go to the way they write the privacy policy is hilarious but it's very understandable as well okay and that's all any questions? yes what are the legal implications if you have a website or VPS in what are the EU countries? it's not the way yeah it's not the way it's where the people are coming from yeah so if even if you have a VPS in a EU country if somehow your audience is in Africa there's no issue the only issue will probably be when transfer the data out transfer the data out to other countries if I remember correctly the other countries must have equivalent data privacy regulations yeah I think that's the only issue yeah okay any other questions? questions questions I think I have over time no questions? yes yeah yeah I lock in the meal chain after for the longest time today and they were like hey I will support I will support tickets system is down please refer to these articles for GDPR related stuff yeah there was actually when everyone thought it was a joke by one guy on his app it said that he cannot turn on his lights or his lights because of GDPR he can turn on one by one and it was connecting data that was not allowed right yeah okay any other questions? no? okay I will end here if you have any other questions about GDPR and stuff like that find me later okay but again not a lawyer


The state of cybersecurity has never been more challenging for organizations. Cyber resiliency remains at or near the top of organizations IT priorities. We'll be bringing together industry execs, subject matter experts, analysts, partners, customers and more to help drive this discussion. With the goal of arming all organizations with the information they need to navigate that it's a multi-faceted challenge, bad actors are not only going after production systems but invariably they're going after backup infrastructure. No matter what ends up happening, there will be malicious attacks. There will be parameters that will be compromised and that can happen to some of the best CISOs and CIOs in the world with the most sophisticated cybersecurity.

Good morning. My name is Salim al-Haqqa. I'm director of the International Center for Climate Change and Development based at the independent University Bangladesh in Dhaka, but I'm currently in Bonn, Germany at the United Nations University here where I'm a visiting scientist and Unfortunately, I can't make it to the meeting in Bangkok as I had hoped to So my sincere apologies for not being there on the other hand I think it's good for my carbon footprint That I don't have to fly all the way to Bangkok and I can give you my talk Remotely, although we won't have a chance to interact with each other, which is a pity So what I'm going to talk about is about the status of adaptation science as I see it and the first point I'll make is to argue that adaptation science is a real thing a number of years ago at an international conference I had a debate with a very eminent adaptation scholar Professor Neil Ager of Exeter University where he argued that adaptation science was not a new science and I argued that it may not be a science yet But it is a science in the making and I think now well over six or seven years later We can see that it is a real science and I'll mention a couple of reasons why I say that Firstly, if you look at the intergovernmental panel on climate change last report the fifth assessment report There are four chapters on adaptation Chapter 14, which looks at planning adaptation chapter 15, which looks at implementing adaptation Chapter 16, which looks at the limits and barriers to adaptation and chapter 16 Which looks at the economics of adaptation in addition There is adaptation sections in many of the Sectoral chapters and regional chapters as well So there's a Significant body of scientific knowledge and papers that have been assessed in the fifth assessment report unlike previous assessment reports So we can say that there's a growing body of knowledge on adaptation science the second element that I would draw attention to is the Community of scientists working on adaptation this has grown as I mentioned the first adaptation futures Conference was held in Australia in 2010 where I had the debate with Neil Adger the second one was held in Tucson in America in 2012 and the third was held in 2014 Fortaleza, Brazil and each time we've had Nearly 600 to 800 scholars participating and presenting papers on their work on adaptation The next fourth one is going to be held in Rotterdam in May of 2016 and the theme for which is going to be urban adaptation and we're expecting well over 1,000 Participants mainly scholars, but also practitioners policy makers and planners as well. So the Community of scientific discourse and research on adaptation is growing very very rapidly And I would argue that we are now if not a mature science certainly a recognized science Now let me move on to what is the science of adaptation like and I will make two arguments here that it is something unique in terms of The kind of science that we will be doing the kind of knowledge that we will be producing for adaptation The first point I'll make is that adaptation is a learning by doing process We cannot do it in theory. We have to practice learn from practice Which means we have to do things we have to learn from them what works and what doesn't work And then we have to inform the next phase of doing in phases and stages Which I call going up the adaptation knowledge ladder one rung at a time We have to go up one rung assess where we are and then decide how we are going to go up the next run And we've already done some quite a lot of work But the challenge is how do we capture? experiential knowledge which comes from doing practice on the ground from Practitioners at the grassroots to planners and decision-makers at sectoral and national level and indeed even at global level We need a good way of co-producing knowledge between practitioner and theoretician We don't have very good ways of doing that, but we're going to have to develop them The second important element about adaptation as a science is that the knowledge experiential knowledge on adaptation so far is actually Higher in the least developed countries who have done national adaptation programs of action and are now doing national adaptation plans There are hundreds of people who have been involved in doing these who have learned gone up the knowledge ladder And I have a lot of experiential knowledge We need to recognize that and we need to be able to share that knowledge in a south-south Knowledge exchange paradigm indeed even a south to north knowledge exchange paradigm Because the presumption as in the case for mitigation and many other sciences that the developed countries in the north Have the knowledge and all we need to do is transfer it to the south does not apply in adaptation When it comes to adaptation the developing countries and poor communities actually have a lot more knowledge About how to tackle the problem then the scientists in the north and it can be a two-way exchange of knowledge And we don't have good ways of doing that We need to find better ways of promoting south-south and south-to-north knowledge exchange My final area of discourse will be to look at what we've learned so far in the last decade or so of Adaptation science and I will make two sets of arguments. The first set of argument is to do with scale Initially we used to think that adaptation was very context specific it happened at a location to locate local scale and Every scale and every location was very different and hence it's very difficult to generalize That is no longer true. Well, that remains true. It is no longer only true There are many ecosystems which are have common elements high mountains for example around the world coastal ecosystems delta ecosystems urban systems Dry land systems have many many common features even if they're located in different continents around the world And there are groups that are now working on these different ecosystem based adaptation aspects who are sharing that knowledge across Continents but with similar ecosystems and that is a good thing and we're learning a lot from each other that way The second element is that it's not just ecosystems there is indeed even a global dimension to climate change adaptation which is in the sense of a growing interest in the issue of Migration people are going to have to move some countries indeed a low-lying atolls in the Pacific Ocean for example may just simply disappear underneath the ocean and the people will have to go somewhere else This is an unprecedented Problem that the globe has never seen before we've had migration before but we haven't had it on this scale And it's a global problem because these people are no longer leaving just because of natural causes or economic causes they're leaving because Global warming human induced climate change is causing them to leave their homes and they're going to have to leave already We are seeing some people moving in future We'll see a lot more and this is a global dimension of adaptation indeed Some people argue and I'm one of them that we need to think of migration as a positive adaptation to climate change in the long run International migration of the victims of climate change need to be absorbed and taken care of at the international level Primarily by the polluters who are responsible for the pollution because we do have a sense of responsibility Attached to this now which in the UN FCC in the framework convention on climate change parlance or process It is called loss and damage from the impacts of climate change and this is a growing area of Interest particularly for the vulnerable countries like the small island Developing states to least develop countries and the countries in Africa are very very concerned about the potential impacts of climate change Which are now unavoidable will happen, but we need to talk about them and we need to figure out what we're going to do When they do happen fortunately at the 19th conference of parties in Warsaw we agreed the Warsaw international mechanism which has Set up an executive committee and a work program to try and discuss these issues Which we can then discuss at the 22nd conference of parties which will be held in December 2016 Not in Paris this year, but the year after where we will consider the work program Finally, let me mention another set of learning that we are Finding as we address the issue of adaptation in the initial years We thought of adaptation to climate change as simply identifying vulnerability And in many cases finding that we are in fact doing things that enhance our vulnerability rather than reduce our vulnerability And so the first act is to stop enhancing vulnerability or to use another phrase to stop doing Maladaptation making ourselves more vulnerable rather than less vulnerable and there are many instances of doing this Building on floodplains for examples building on seashores Infrastructure making it even more vulnerable than it was before we need to stop doing that We need to start practicing a good adaptation measures By and large this analysis has been done and retrofitting is now taking place We have now moved into what I call the second era of adaptation, which is Incremental adaptation as we look at new investments particularly large-scale in infrastructure investments like roads and highways and and ports and embankments We need to think about How do we in make these investments in a manner that will make them Adapted to future climate change because we can now make a very safe presumption that the previous 20 30 40 years of climatic events is no longer in a Useful basis for extending into the future for the next 20 30 years because the next 20 30 years of Climatic changes will be very different from what we saw in the last 20 30 years So we need to look at climate change models, which will inform us about what is likely to happen What is possible? These are just scenarios They're not predictions But they have to be taken into account and they then have to be included in the investment to make the investment Adapted typically it would mean for example a road might be needed to be raised by a meter or a bridge by a meter that would add cost to the Construction typically in the order of maybe 5% or at maximum 10% of an additional cost built into the infrastructure domain of the Investments this is now happening across the board major investments in all countries including developed and developing countries are taking climate change Into account any infrastructure that's meant to last for another five decades Has to take climate change into account and put it in as as an incremental Adaptation cost and this is now happening many many development sectors Developing countries development agencies lenders banks are all putting this into practice. This is a good thing We are now on the threshold of a new third era of adaptation knowledge and science And this is called transformational adaptation. It's still something that we're struggling to define We don't have a good definition. There are some Paragraphs in the fifth assessment of the IPCC that try to address this but essentially it means Instead of looking at adaptation as the risk management just Allaying the risk as I mentioned in the case of incremental adaptation We need to think about coming out on the other side better off than we were before So it's not just coping with risk But it's about in enhancing the ability of countries and people and communities to Progress beyond where they were before just to give you one example of Of what what might think of as transformational adaptation we can think of it in generational terms so the fishers and farmers who are living in very Vulnerable communities let us say on low-lying coastal areas in islands and in continents around the world In time those areas will become Uninhabitable with salinity increase and sea level rise and the people there will no longer be able to practice those livelihoods So their children now need to be invested in to be educated So the children don't have to be farmers and fishers the children can become doctors and lawyers and engineers and Move to a city and take their family with them. And this is what I mean by assisted migration This is a form of adaptation where they end up being better off than they were before and not just coping with the impacts of climate change This is still very much in theory stage We don't have good examples of this yet but it is something that we need to think about as we go forward and I hope that many people here in the audience will be participating in the discussions and I look forward to seeing the results of the The discussions that happen in Bangkok and again my apologies for not being able to be with you


No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's time for a new, yeah. Okay. So, yeah, we were just talking about. Um, well, McDonald farm because, uh, kiddo reacted things and he seems to like that song. So, uh, speaking of things to react to. Though, it's still coming. But the photo's been updated. Any second. The Metro M7 do sign up. We're gonna put a small quantity in, I believe later this week. It'll be probably next week's new product, but we'll run out before next Wednesday. We'll try to notify people, including people on the Discord, especially if we don't notify everybody because we've got a couple thousand signups. We're only gonna have like about a hundred boards to put in the shop to start. But do sign up if you don't get notified immediately. Don't worry. We're making more. Next up. Next up, another Raspberry Pi 3 camera module came in. This is the not NoIR. This is the normal camera module 3 that's not wide. So it's kind of like the one I think people are gonna want the most. This is in stock. So there's like the NoIR wide normal and now the everyday wide and normal. And we're gonna get some photos and videos of all the camera options and like what it looks like. This is the new like super fancy 12 megapixel camera module V3 that has autofocus, really high quality, great for any camera projects. And it's like the same price as the camera V2. Next up. Next up, we've got an update. This is an update to old familiar favorites, the capacitive touch shield for Arduino. So we've used Penguin to make the font really nice. We've also moved the reset button to be white angle, IRF is still there and the STEMI QT port is also new. We added that as a little spot. I thought I could show a quick demo because capacitive touch is nice. This is a beautiful display and it's got a wonderful capacitive touch screen. I will note, you know, capacitive touch is more expensive than resistive. The resistive touch is out of stock at the moment but we'll be coming back because we have to redesign it. So this is, this is the capacitive touch and we auto-focus it. So the colors are a little bit washed out just because it's a screen with a, you know, a monitor with a screen. Let me see if I can draw. Yeah, for this you might want to turn the light off. Yeah, yeah, you're right, maybe not. Yeah, it's bright. It's still washed out, but still, so, you know, it's a nice capacitive touch screen and we've got this little painting demo for it in Arduino. But you know what? It actually works at Circuit Python as well. It's got the FT 2602 or 2606 capacitive touch screen. It doesn't do multi-touch, but it's very, you know, basic and gives you the 240 by 320 pixels to touch points. And then yeah, it's got the 320 by 240 I-Line 9341 screen all connected over SPI for the screen and I-Squared C for the capacitive touch. So the big update as mentioned, you know, on the side now we've got this reset button on the side that you either get to and a semi-QT port for adding and I-Squared C sensors easily. Excellent. We also got an update to this two-inch IPS TFT display as people have been noticing, all of our displays have been updated to have high SPI connectors. High SPI is kind of like STEMI QT for plug-and-play SPI displays. Usually you have so many wires that you have to wire up to get these working and it means that it's like hard to kind of mount the display far away and like I've seen people have a lot of difficulty with having the wires break off or short to each other or soldering issues. So this is it running the demo off of a QT PI so you can show it in the overhead. You can show what it looks like. So it just means, and this is actually kind of great for me because I can show off this demo, you know, the screen protector. Yes. Thank you. Yeah, it's very enjoyable. So you've got this display instead of having to solder all the connectors, this nice flip top FPC connector goes from here to, you know, whatever your dev board is here, I've got a little breakout board to a STEMI QT so the display can go anywhere. Easier to mount, easier to wire, you know, basically a no soldering solution as long as you've got the matching SPI connector on the other side. So this is, you know, otherwise it's the same pinout, display, same SD card, same, you know, level shifter. And we also did a nice silkscreen as well with Penguin. Alrighty, next up. Oh, actually going up to this one. Yep. Okay, then we'll go. Yeah, because it's another display. So this is another, this is a 1.44 inch display with one of our oldest products, 120 by 120 pixels. These were popular displays, popularized for like key chain image viewers. I don't know if you people remember those from like a decade ago. So one of the first displays it was available it's like basically SPI low cost. It's not an IPS display, but it does look quite nice. And the update we've done is like the other displays people have as now and I spy connector as well. We also made the level shifter a little bit smaller to make room. Like I'm making this way easier now. Yeah. If you have this connector, then you can like cool. And it's standardized. It's like everything we're doing with displays has and of course we're gonna make feather wings and we have a breakout just to get started. But really we were had, we saw a lot of customers are just having issues with there's just so many wires required. It's so easy. It's like you can't see it because the display is in the one not the display. So, you know, this is all. So you never know if your thing's not working you never know what it is because there's so many wires going around. Yeah. All right. And then you want to do with it pliers. Yes. This are another set of crimpers from engineer. They're a Japanese crimping plier tool company and they make really good stuff. We've carried their other crimping pliers. So, you know, I do recommend if you're going to be crimping connectors for, you know JST or Molex, you know, if you can afford it try to get the official crimper because of course it's gonna work great or just get pre-crimped wires. But if you can't, the crimpers that are made by engineer are really high quality. They have really good results and they have good instructional videos to get you started with them as well. This does like a range of sizes. You can look at the product page and the data sheet for the specifics but basically your standard small wire crimps that most engineers are going to bump into that are not electrical grade, they're electronics grade. I hope they have like a video or advertising that you did.  Engineer. Yeah. Oh, engineer. Okay. Hi, I'm Ned. And now we're gonna do the star of the show tonight besides you, Lady Aida, besides our team, everyone who helps Aida4Go, our community, our customers and all those great things, including a tiny baby who is super awesome tonight letting us do the show, it is. Yay, cowbell. It's time for more cowbell. This is our second cowbell. The first one was the prototyping one. I usually did it longer as the second board I make for a platform because it kind of covers a lot of stuff. A lot of people don't do data logging and they also just want to have an SD card socket. So this is a cowbell that goes on a Raspberry Pi Pico board either as Pico or the Pico W, a beautiful silk screen, Penguin, data logger logo that you guys did, you and Boosted and then the cowbell logo. So this is a simple little board that just kind of slips underneath over a Pi cowbell, sorry, a Pi cow or a Pico, and gives you a real-time clock. The PCF 8523, it's a low cost. It's a fairly good quality real-time clock. You're gonna lose a second or two here, but it's inexpensive and I think that's a worthwhile trade-off. And then to go with the real-time clock, there's also a coin cell holder. We don't include the coin cell because it makes it very hard to ship. If you do, so we sell them separately or you can buy them at your local grocery store. It's a standard CR 1220. There's also a reset button because the Pico doesn't have a reset button, so you can press that. A micro SD slot that fits nicely at the end.  And then on the other end is a STEMI QT port for attaching sensors.  Maybe you want to do something with timing. You know, it's a three-in-one board, but very handy. All the little individual pieces are very inexpensive but they fit quite nicely together. So, you know, I put together a very quick little demo that, you know, won't look very exciting, but it can still show off. So, so this is, wait, just turned off the light. Could you hit the autofocus for me, thank you. Okay, so this is a Raspberry Pi Pico and I've got it wired up over the STEMI QT to a BME 280. And then you'll notice that this LED flashes every five seconds. I just wrote a little bit of circuit Python code or maybe it was a read-up code, I don't remember that will read the temperature humidity and pressure off of the BME 280 through the plug-and-play connector and then log it to the SD card and then flush that data to the SD card. We'll publish all that data as well. But, you know, if you wanted to, you know, this is stacked on with stacking headers that are soldered in. You can add, you know, a battery connector. If you'd like, you know, I think we stopped one from Pimeroni that allows you to run a Pico off of a LiPo battery that can then be recharged. So you can take it for like portable data logging or again, you want to host data that has time sensor input and SD card.  And then on the bottom, oh, wait, that's the prototype one. So let me get the final version. It uses the default, oh, thank you. It uses the default SPI port on Arduino. If you're using the Philhauer Core, same with I squared C, that's for the QT and the real-time clock. If you'd like, there's also a SD card detect pin. You know, that pin will short low when a card is inserted or it's the other way around. Basically, you can use it to determine if there's a card physically inside. You can see the little spring that opens and closes when something touches. And a lot of the pins are also duplicated over here. So, you know, you can, you could get to them, they're also labeled. So if you're like, oh, I can sort of solder a wire if I want to get to other IO pins or you could like, you know, as seen here, just solder stacking headers and you put it onto a breadboard or another board that you can get to the rest of the components, the rest of the pads without being in the way of these components. So that is, oh, and then I'll just show on this prototype I do have. I'll show what the battery looks like. So this is when the battery is installed. The prototype is green, your version will be black, but the prototype is green. And then, you know, once you install the coin cell, it'll keep time for up to seven years. Wow. Okay. And that is new products.  Everywhere new. Everywhere new, new.


Hi everybody today, I'm with Liesl Teversham and we're going to be talking about strengths and why they're so important for us to discover our strengths of people to really thrive in our career or in our business But first I'm going to I'm going to read Liesl's bio So you have a sense of her overall background and then we'll we'll bring her forward So Liesl Teversham helps sensitive souls and introverts build confidence She helps them work through the blocks and fears that stop them and find and embrace their true Authentic strengths two of her favorite tools are EFT tapping which I think some of you may have heard of that and the Gallup strengths finder which from what I know is the most researched Methodology on strengths and talents they provide a solid foundation for any introvert who wants to make a difference in the world In their unique quiet way Hi Liesl. Great to have you here Thank you so much George. It's wonderful to be with you. Thank you. Yeah, so I will let you take over I think you prepared some materials to share with us. So I'm excited for this Thank you so much. So let me go and find that and Share that with our listeners. Is it visible? Yes? It is looks great Awesome. So I'd like to just start by sharing how this work started And because that can already gives us some clues what strengths finder can do for us So in the 1960s, uh, they were about I think 10,006 graders participating in a study to help researchers discover what study of Helping them to or what method of helping them to read force. It was going to be the best tool So they repeated the study a few times because at first I couldn't believe the results because what happened is It didn't really actually matter what method they used to help them improve their reading speed But what mattered was The difference between the pupils who were slow readers and fast readers The slow readers improved overall over these few weeks of the study They improved from about 90 words a minute to 150 words a minute And that's already awesome. It's a 66 improvement But what happened is the fast readers started off at about 350 words a minute And they improved over the same length of time to 2,900 words a minute So that really Yeah, the the researchers was not expecting this result They thought the slower readers would get the most benefit So that really made them sit up and say well, we've got to do something with this information What what is this really telling us? So as they repeat repeated the study again and again They thought well, you know, it seems that the things are already easy for us We improve in those areas much faster with much less effort and with much more joy Than the things that we already are struggling with those things that we get at f in in school Where we usually tell people go, you know trying to improve that that is such hard work And it's effort and it's quite draining for the body and brain actually So that's how the strings find a movement started They found that if we build on our strings, we improve force that's not we it's just a wonderful experience So that's where it started and now one of the principles I share with my clients as we start this work is We are like the fish in the water with our strings So George, I'm going to be cheeky and ask you what comes up for you if you think about A fish in the water. What was it? What what is it about? well, it's fish and water they Don't think it's anything remarkable. They're just breathing and you know kind of thriving there and Yeah, but it's hard for us, right? To breathe in the water. It's impossible Exactly exactly and that is exactly what happens for us with our strings. It's almost like we The fish is swimming there in the sea or wherever they are and they see the other fishes they see the rocks they see the You know these divers inside the water And they're aware of all those other things in the environment, but what they're not aware of is the water Because the water is completely normal to them by this time They are the water is there all the time and that's the one thing they're not aware of And for us for people, it's like air we breathe air all the time, but we don't have to think about it It just happens. It's there. It's provided our lungs do the work for us with our strings. It's the same thing We don't even know that we have these strings because we are so used to them We think the things that come naturally and easily to us Is just that thing that I do, you know, it's nothing special Um, and therefore we kind of tend to discount it. We think, ah, you know, it's just something that I that's easy for me Well, I believe when we find our strings We can make so much more of them and it's sometimes very surprising to people to hear what these strings are and I also believe that we need to get paid highest for the things that are easiest for us Because those are the things that other people struggle with So that is something I keep reminding my clients of is don't think that the things that are easy for you is nothing special Not everybody find them easy Yes, in fact, the things that are easy for you are the most special, you know, oftentimes. Yeah Exactly. Exactly, George. Um, that is something that we really, really tend to forget and in this work It becomes very apparent when we start chatting about people's top five strings or so that We have unique things combined and that nicely leads us into the next little topic that I want to just mention is Sometimes people are a bit resistant or they think I don't want to be put in another box You know, yes, this is another thing that tells me the way I am What I really love about strings finder is it helps us to understand how unique we are Not how much we are the same than other people with the same strength and um How I know that is we can either do the strings finder for your top five Or for your full 34 the the whole complement of strings So if we just even talk about your top five The chance that somebody else has your top five Is one in two hundred and eighty thousand Wow So that's that's really Yeah, that's that's unique that really tells you that even with five strings you are pretty unique It's not everybody the next bush. There's not another george under the next bush However, if you Consider the possibility that somebody else has the same exact Order of your top five The chance of that goes down to one in 33.9 million Wow So that made me set up and think as well. Wow And then we haven't even considered all the other the rest of the 34 strings We're only talking about top five And we haven't considered your background your history your upbringing your values your Spirituality all the things that you have learned your skills your knowledge That's how we need unique we are and strings finder really brings us home And so I love this quote of oscar while that says Be yourself because everybody else has really been taken And strings finder and this you know the the information that it provides us about what's really unique and beautiful about ourselves Helps to bring that home And the next little bit that I want to mention is about the bigger picture So I was talking about about the top five and the full 34 Often people start out with the top five and it's brilliant because it gives us a great start And what's really amazing about us and what we are great at and then the full 34 just gives us this bigger picture Some people here may recognize. Do you recognize the picture? Do you know what this is? Uh, it's I guess a golf course. Yes, exactly So working with our full 34 gives us the same sort of ideas as knowing what's happening on a golf course We know we've got to aim aim the ball to the pin. That's like our goals in life We want to get to the pin but we want to get there the shortest easiest and most enjoyable way So that's like aiming down the fairway And our top 10 to 12 strings in that list of 34 is like going down the fairway It's the easiest straightest way most enjoyable. We love it. It's like oh, yes, I can do this I'm getting there and it's in the least amount of strokes Just a little bit outside of that is the rough When our ball lands there we go. Oh, no, this is not so nice. But okay, I can choose a different club or you know A longer one or a one that goes with a more curve or we can take a different approach or He'd pass this tree and then pass that tree. So it's about choice there We choose what what what we're going to do now And that's what the next lot of our strengths is the the sort of middle lot between about 12 and 29 or so Those are the strings that we can choose to use Whereas the ones that that's our fairway like the top 10 to 12 is our energizing strength when we use them we feel energised motivated inspired Effective so it's the easy way and a very enjoyable way to go forward in life Now out from the rough is those bunkers those places where we land in the sand and we go Oh, no, and we can't see out of it and the ball rolls back again if we try and get it out. It's really hard work And those are the bottom five to eight strengths and our full city fall So when we land in the bunker with a strength, it feels like it's hard work It's draining. It's not easy for us and it takes a lot of energy because those are the places where it doesn't We haven't got the neural pathways that that is easy for us to use. It's effort It's a lot of thinking I know you talk about habits, you know, the more we develop habits the easier it is for us to do because it's automatic And it's very similar with our strengths. The automatic ones are the top 10 to 12. It's easy comes naturally The bottom five to eight very hard work. It's draining. It's literally we call them our draining strengths and we It's almost like we actively resist them It's not easy to try and bring those bottom ones up to the top and neither do we have to because I think in the next slide I mentioned something that is Very interesting to me Is that when we know our strengths and we know the strengths of people around us This really comes to the fore that Somebody else's biggest the biggest difference from me is their biggest service to me Because This difference is exactly what helps us to function in teams what help what make us help each other What I can do extremely easily is hard for somebody else and what's Hard for me. Somebody else can help me with and so we complement each other in that way Life becomes very full of color We don't have to be able to do everything Well, we don't have to strive to be like the next person who does that thing. Well, like I have a lot of empathy That's natural for me And I don't get into action very easily because the action talent is right at the bottom. It's draining for me. So I Invite a lot of people into my life with the action talent the activator To help me get into action and that's how life can get really really colorful and we can support each other I love that. That's great And I think a last Topic maybe to cover here is just to give people a little bit of insight of they are 34 talent or strengths And they are in these different talent clusters. So there's executing talents influencing talents relationship building talents and thinking talents and There are about nine of these 34 talents in each of these groups and So executing talents are the way that people get things done. So people with high execution talents Usually it's easy for them to Execute in certain ways they get things done. They can be consistent. They can plan and schedule um, they can They they finished what they started and so on. So those are the executing talents And then we get the influencing talents and those are the people that are great with help getting others to to do the work And we need those those are the leaders who can tell other people's like here's what I you know people find it very easy to follow them and So things like for instance, there's the activating talent if you've got the activator you can help other people to get into action very easily Then the relationship building talents or the people who are just the glue that keep companies and Teams working together. They they great at getting the best out of each person The people people of the world and empathy for instance is in that column. So I have a lot of empathy harmony I love peace and harmony so I can create that in my environment and then the strategic thinking talents or all the the people with the talents that Expand the thinking of people is where conception happens a lot of thinking before action And so we all talented perhaps in one cluster more than another And some of us are very talented in all of them Other people have more executing strengths. They can do well, but they don't work with people so well And and that kind of thing. So I think that's just the brilliant thing is we don't all have to be Good at everything and if we complement each other if we understand And certain things about ourselves with these talents and strengths It's just so much easier for us to to have compassion for what we're not great with and easier to understand the people around us and You know, we don't we we can stop judging ourselves for not or for For instance, I stopped comparing myself With other people who do certain things very well And and now I know it looking, you know what? I don't have to be like that. I don't have to be a Kick-ass coach. I always thought I had to be a kick-ass coach like some of my friends I'm not like that and I never will be I love my talents now And I think that's the one thing that this can do for us is it helps us to accept ourselves Um, our strengths and our weaker areas. It's not that we can't improve our weaker areas We absolutely can but they're draining and it takes much more effort to try and improve in those areas So I think I talked a mile a minute Too many questions No, this is fantastic. And so how do people discover their talents? How do people get the Get the analysis for for themselves That's a great question. So gallop strings finder. These are a website and I think it's called gallopstrengthscenter.com and anybody can go on to there and You can choose to buy your top five, which I think at the moment is 19 dollars and Full 34 is 89 as far as I can remain. Oh, it's 49. They brought the price down quite recently. So it's 49 dollars It's much more affordable than it's called. It's officially called Clifton strings Yes, they used to call it gallop and then Donald Clifton was the father of this movement and when he died a couple years ago They renamed it to Clifton strings. And is there a do you have some kind of link or code that we should use? Um, I don't have a particular link or code. No, so anybody can just go to that that Website and go and do their their strings finder You can start with top five if you want and then upgrade later and just pay the difference Because it's actually one assessment whether you top five or full 34. They test all your strengths at the same time Yeah So if anybody has done the top five before and they want to upgrade just remember your username and password You can go in and upgrade to the to the full one So um, so yeah, one of the things I do is I love taking people through their Top five and full 34 and helping them to understand in a very unique way. What is it about them because When I have say say I've got the achiever talent and you've got the achiever talent George We it won't show up us for us in exactly the same way because of our surrounding talents Because of everything else that you've got it kind of colors it in a different way To the color that I have on my achiever talent and that's why this is so unique and fascinating and interesting and very empowering Wow, so uh, so you the work you do with clients in terms of this is once they have the report um, they send it to you and then You coach them on how to Well, you kind of coach them on the nuances of these things, but also how to express these things that right? Yes Yes, you said it in such a great way So we we go through a process of awareness first Is like what is each of these because I get a report But it's sometimes a bit dry and boring to just read something and then yeah put it in the drawer So I want them to understand it in the context of their own life In the career that they currently have maybe in careers. I've had in relationships Um, and it just gives them this awesome picture of why certain things happen that way for them and and what to do with it and We each have the possibility to mismanage a strength in which case it becomes a detriment Or we can manage it well in which case it's really a strength So for instance, I can make mismanage my empathy and become like a bleeding heart and feel sorry for everybody And it's very draining and you know, just like it doesn't work that well But if I apply it in a in a more productive way It can work wonders and that's possible for every single strength. We can mismanage them too Oh, that's wonderful.  You bring color to to this this report and help people to activate the There's their strengths in a in a way that's serves their serves their goals and their visions and kind of helps them succeed Yes, yes, exactly Exactly Great. Well, is there anything else you want to share before we yeah, here we go Yeah, I just wanted to share this quote and I may get a bit teary because I get teary every time I think about this Good it's by more so graham. She was the mother of modern dawn So she was a ballet dancer and choreographer that lived Somewhere in the 1800s 1900s and she said there is a vitality a life force a quickening that is translated Through you into action and there is only one of you in all time This expression is unique and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost The world will not have it And so that just you know It touches me every time. So this work really helps us to really be That uniqueness and to remember that if we don't express ourselves in our unique way, it is lost to the world forever Wow thank you for that and and um and the second part of this quote is about how It's funny that it is your business To keep your it's not your business. It's yeah, right. It is right. It's not your business to to compare But it is your business to keep the channel open right and Since so many of us are building businesses. That's an authentic business is one where that vitality and life force Is being channeled to us through that through us clearly.

man this ain't nothing but the chiefs just being the chiefs youtube team keep it clean what's going on is engraving here with another video y'all make sure y'all subscribe to the channel and i appreciate y'all watching thank you for that um now kansas city is a team that's known for at least by me i see i see them as a team that's always looking to add even more weapons now of course this offseason and one of the biggest trades of the nfl was the chief's trading tyreek hill to keep them inside the afc but trading them to the miami dolphins uh and that was a crazy move a blockbuster move it literally seemed like it happened within hours uh but anyway um so after losing tyreek hill they had a gaping hole at a deep threat speed type of receiver uh they had signed juju smith shooster he obviously not a tyreek hill um then they went into the draft and they took sky more uh in the second round um and that was the only receiver that they took surprisingly but you know what the chiefs they they never done like because what the situations i always get reminded of is when josh gordon when he became available chiefs ain't need josh gordon they need no josh gordon what do they do they sign josh gordon i remember when levy on bell became available chiefs they need no levy on bell but what do they do they sign levy on bell um trend oh what's the the the offensive lineman's name um who is with the 49ers because i know i remember the chiefs they had tried to sign him to even though they had made some big moves on the offensive line that was a couple years back i cannot think of his name right now but it'll come to me later but y'all know who i'm talking about the 49ers left tackle can't remember his name but anyway my point the chiefs are always trying to upgrade now the story with uh with justin ross um i read for me personally i remember just watching film on him i remember watching the draft too and thinking okay um i heard about the injury history maybe like third fourth round okay probably go around there nope nope all right maybe like fifth maybe i don't think he's gonna make it to the sixth round but he'll get screwed up by somebody nope seventh round came around and like like really seventh round justin rock like um i it's let's see nope nothing nothing nothing and i looked up the the medical history in detail just to really see what was going on and why teams was just really scared because i had heard about it but i wanted to see it for myself so 2015 his sophomore year high school he had an mcl sprain that same year uh he had a right acl tear they said he got it playing basketball then in 2019 which in 2019 based off of that justin ross that's the first round draft pick that's the first round draft pick but anyway uh in 2019 he had a hip injury that he got in against syracuse he only missed one game then in 2020 this is the one right here this is the one uh he had a congenital neck fusion uh originally suffered stingers in practice in march uh and he had a prior history of stingers but he missed his entire junior year uh and he also dealt with a bulging disc within his neck so neck injuries are some of the scary i think neck injuries and back injuries are some of the scariest injuries because there's no telling when they could pop up again it's no telling um they can be so unpredictable uh and especially with a neck injury that that's career threatening right there um so that that can just change not only your game but it can change your life um and then to 2021 said he had a stress fracture foot um and then then that he suffered in the preseason uh and then he needed to get surgery on it um so when i saw all of that especially the the the neck injury i'm like oh okay even still um i still expected somebody to take a chance like a low round draft pick it ain't like the contract is gonna cost you much um it's not like it it's not big collateral but it's like oh man nothing nothing happened um when i watched justin ross um he is six four uh not swollen nothing but six four uh taller receiver um and he has he got some he got some good speed he ain't a burner nothing like that um and he's not the shiftiest but the hands are there that the hands hands are definitely there i love how he catches the ball um he has very very soft hands uh it's it's like you're throwing a baby to him and he's catching it because you don't want to throw no baby to nobody who's gonna drop um but one thing i loved about him despite him sort of being uh because it's weird because he's tall he's a taller receiver six four but he's not the the biggest but he still um would drag defenders for a couple extra yards on some of his catches um he is really good at contested catches you can throw the 50 50 ball to him uh one of the things that i like the most about him uh was his concentration on his catches one thing i really really appreciate it a lot is that he makes sure that he catches the before he turns up field because you know a lot of receivers they'd be thinking ahead and thinking i gotta make the big play i gotta make the big play i'm getting ready to make that big let's let's get it but one thing that i appreciated about him is that he catches the ball and he concentrates on making that catch before trying to turn up field uh and i appreciated that he is a very in my eyes he's a very smooth route runner um so that is that's another benefit of him because you know for some guys if they like just tall i think the six four that's really tall if some guys are just tall they may not be as fluent uh as a guy like maybe like six foot six one and of course any shorter than that um but he's smooth smooth not not the he ain't got the most wiggle nothing like that and i don't really think he's gonna be like shaking people like that or nothing but he does have the yak ability and because like i said he will drag somebody uh for those extra yards he'll he'll fight for him so i appreciated that but again he ain't scared to go across the middle he ain't scared to for the jump balls you could throw those to him all day and i mean in kansas city you know sometimes patching my hold he'll run around scramble around for a little bit then just launch it up and hey if he feels like you that guy i mean he did it with tyreek hill a million times a tyreek hill like 5 10 5 11 but tyreek hill he would go up and jump for that thing man that dude tyreek hill is our monster man um but with justin ross is it a given that he's gonna make the team no of course not but in this situation in this team i am very curious to see what type of opportunity he gets now of course he is going to have to earn his spot like crazy he's going to have to do so much to make it on the roster but if he can get a shot this can be a very very special uh special situation special situation for him uh for the chiefs for that that type of offense that he will be going into because the thing about them they they spread that ball around they they spread that ball around um and with the chiefs they lost tyreek hill i believe they lost pringle to the bears i'm pretty sure because i think that whole little story came out about him a couple days ago uh so hopefully he get that situated um again but they drafted sky more signed juju so those two are definitely going to get a lot of opportunities and i'm not i'm a little murky about what their wide receiver situation is all right now of course they got travis kelson one of the one of the best titans in the league um so yeah his opportunity early on it may come far and few but that's all it takes man sometimes that's all it takes is to just get that chance so even if you do get seldom and few opportunities if you're making the most of them when you get them then the coaching staff sees that fans see that players see that and everybody can vouch for you to get even more when your time comes um so i'm happy for him i'm happy for justin ross uh i um it was one point while i was hoping my ravens were drafted i was because we didn't even got to get into their receiver situation we talk about that when we talk about ravens um but he's in a uh a good spot and again worst case scenario worst case it doesn't work out worst case it's a worst case scenario but best case scenarios there's obviously him making the active roster it's going to be an uphill battle an uphill battle he's going to have to do a lot of fighting to make it on the roster but then there's a practice squad too that's another opportunity to be on a practice squad running with the scout team and whatnot doing that so there's that so he has options and i know a lot of people um as opposed to being either a late round draft pick with six or seventh round draft pick um there can be an argument said sometimes uh maybe being an undrafted uh free an undrafted rookie free agent it can be even better because as an undrafted rookie free agent you get to choose where you want to go you get to choose um and i'm sure of course six and seventh round picks they appreciate the opportunity that's been given to them being drafted by an nfl team because this is you're being drafted by a professional football team this is what you dream though this is what you work for um but you don't get to choose but as an undrafted rookie free agent all right you aren't drafted which is tough it's tough but the opportunity it doesn't mean that it's over doesn't mean that your chance to make the nfl is over doesn't mean that all right well i guess i gotta pack it up now move on oh well i guess i gotta quit now move on no you you get to if you receive offers of course then you get to choose whatever team from wherever you offer sometimes you may receive multiple offers sometimes you may not um but justin ross again i think he's in a really good situation uh going to kansas city so we'll see how it works out for him hopefully it does um because i would love to see him like really get a shot uh on sundays
