“Most things when it comes to corporate sustainability do not happen in a vacuum. I am part of an environmental sustainability team, but we would not be able to accomplish anything without our energy teams, our network teams, and more. The ability to take what can be a complex idea and translate that into a compelling business case often comes down to dollars and cents. While it takes time, that's how we've been able to drive change.” Rosie Austin on Electric Ladies Podcast In a poll at The Earth Day Women's Summit in Dallas, Texas, 100% of respondents said that business is not doing enough to address the climate crisis. With climate change fuelling more frequent and ferocious weather events, and the current U.S. federal leadership defunding climate- and clean energy-related initiatives, businesses now have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to lead. Will they? The good news is, many of them are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their climate resilience. How? Listen to this live recording of a session at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with a panel moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson. You'll hear how businesses are keeping the momentum going and stepping in where federal leadership has stepped back. The panel includes: Danielle Azoulay, Founder, The CSO Shop and former head of CSR and Sustainability at L'Oreal and at Bed, Bath & Beyond, who shares insights into what consumers care about, and how this is shaping business decisions. Helle Bank Jørgensen, CEO and Founder of Competent Boards training programs, on the importance of boards in keeping businesses focused on the long term. Jana Gerber, President, Microgrid North America at Schneider Electric, on what companies are focusing on to meet their climate goals. Rosie Austin, Principal Program Manager - Global ESG Reporting at AT&T, on why resilience doesn't occur in a vacuum. Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast. “If you look five years out, 10 years out, what is it that you want to look back at and say, Yes, I was part of this, or, or I did this. There's a ton of roles if you look at these 17 biggest pain points in the world (the 17 sustainable development goals). Where is it that I can make a difference? I want to educate myself in this, so I can go out and help organizations, perhaps even the organization that you are working in right now.” Helle Bank Jørgensen on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also like: Marci Jenks, Eco Material Technologies, on green cement innovations.

PLCs with default passwords. Devices searchable online. Siloed asset inventories. These OT challenges are common, but they're also fixable. In this episode of Threat Talks, host Lieuwe Jan Koning sits down with Venable's Caitlin Clarke and Schneider Electric's Patrick Ford to discuss why the OT side of your business deserves the same focus and attention as IT. From default passwords to exposed PLCs, they show how these ‘tech risks' span beyond just OT and IT. They discuss:✅ How to replace "default" thinking on OT security
While it's often overshadowed by solar panels, wind farms, and big batteries, energy efficiency remains one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to cut emissions and reduce energy bills in our homes. Energy efficiency is the clean energy transition's unsung hero that lets us do more with less, to use less power to achieve the same results by cutting waste and improving performance. A recent survey reveals what Australians think about home energy use, and although 85% of respondents prioritise energy efficiency, real-life uptake lags well behind. Chris Kerr, the Vice President and CEO of Clipsal by Schneider Electric, discusses the findings of their survey and how smarter design, technology, and education could help bridge the gap between good intentions and real impact.

In this episode of the TechCentral Show, we chat to Clive Roberts, the consumer packaged goods (CPG) segment leader for anglophone Africa at Schneider Electric. In this discussion, Roberts unpacks the focus of the company's segment, which covers the dynamic food and beverage industry across 24 African nations, encompassing about 1 800 manufacturers. The sector is driven by converging trends, notably in smart manufacturing and a strong emphasis on sustainability, including waste reduction and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, evolving consumer preferences for healthier options, ingredient transparency and diverse dietary needs demand agility and resilience from these manufacturers. Cost management remains a critical focus. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation, as manufacturers focused on automation and better system integration to ensure business continuity. Further challenges, such as load shedding and water curtailment, shifted the focus towards power resilience, prompting investments in solutions such as industrial UPS systems. Sustainability is a key concern, particularly for EU-headquartered companies. Manufacturers are actively working to reduce their scope-1, -2, and -3 emissions through initiatives like integrating distributed energy resources, optimising energy use and implementing variable process control. Changing consumer behaviours, driven by social media and e-commerce, are demanding rapid access to goods and direct engagement with brands. This requires efficient supply chains and agile digital systems for both inventory and logistics management. Manufacturers will need flexible production and advanced tracking capabilities to meet the demand for visibility and diverse product options. Economic recovery post-Covid-19 relies on the continued adoption of digital transformation to enhance efficiency and predictability in manufacturers' processes. Schneider Electric is focused on providing hardware-agnostic integration, supported by organisations like the Universal Automation Organisation, to help manufacturers integrate existing equipment for unified control and accelerate digital transformation initiatives. Government policies, like the sugar tax, directly influence product innovation and reformulation, often requiring significant investment. Despite challenges, growth opportunities exist for companies that prioritise product quality, traceability and building consumer trust, potentially also allowing them to command premium prices. Roberts emphasised the value of early engagement with companies like Schneider Electric for expert guidance. He stressed that sustainability should be integral to operations and invited stakeholders to explore Schneider Electric's offerings. The anglophone African food and beverage sector is a dynamic industry, and embracing technological advancements, prioritising consumer needs and ensuring product integrity are key to future success, he said in the interview.

Donald Trump fête les 100 premiers jours de son second bail à la Maison Blanche. Ses fans se délectent du volontarisme du président américain. Ses détracteurs sont consternés. Ceux qui sont entre les deux ont plutôt un regard critique sur l'action du républicain. Les marchés actions ont repris du poil de la bête par rapport au bilan à 80 jours, pas vraiment par une conviction inébranlable dans la politique économique de Trump, mais plutôt parce que les garde-fous ont l'air de fonctionner.Distribué par Audiomeans.

C dans l'air du 22 avril 2025 : Impôts : les retraités vont-ils plus payer ?Comment renflouer les caisses de l'État de 40 milliards d'euros ? C'est l'équation sur laquelle planche Bercy, avec la préparation du budget 2026, dont l'objectif est une réduction du déficit à 4,6 % l'an prochain. Parmi les pistes envisagées se trouvent les niches fiscales. Elles sont 467 au total et coûtent 85 milliards d'euros à l'État chaque année. Bercy veut en supprimer au moins 50 et n'écarte aucune hypothèse. Pas même celle de mettre les retraités à contribution via la suppression de l'abattement fiscal de 10 % dont ils bénéficient.Créé en 1978 par le gouvernement de Raymond Barre, cet abattement fiscal accorde à chaque retraité une déduction automatique de 10 % sur ses revenus (dans la limite de 4.399 euros) annuels au moment de la déclaration. Ce qui se traduit in fine par une baisse d'impôt. Dans Le Parisien, la ministre des Comptes publics ne s'est pas dit contre une remise en cause de cet abattement fiscal, estimant "que ce n'est pas votre âge qui doit définir votre contribution". "Je pense, à titre personnel, qu'on ne peut pas indéfiniment mettre à contribution les actifs pour financer les nouvelles dépenses sociales liées au vieillissement", a ajouté Amélie de Montchalin.La suppression de cette niche fiscale permettrait à l'État de récupérer près de 5 milliards d'euros. Plus précisément, la Cour des comptes estime à 4,494 milliards d'euros le coût de cette mesure pour l'État en 2023, ce qui en fait la quatrième niche fiscale la plus coûteuse, derrière le crédit d'impôt en faveur de la recherche (CIR), une aide aux entreprises (7,2 milliards) ; le crédit d'impôt pour l'emploi d'un salarié à domicile (5,9 milliards) et la détermination du résultat imposable des entreprises de transport maritime en fonction du tonnage de leurs navires (dispositif mis en place pour protéger les armateurs face à la concurrence asiatique, 5,6 milliards). La Cour des comptes déplorait dans un précédent rapport une "articulation insuffisante" entre les dépenses fiscales et les objectifs des politiques publiques qu'elles sont censées soutenir – quand leurs effets concrets sont connus et appelé à procéder à la revue de l'ensemble des dépenses fiscales d'ici 2027.Alors que va décider le gouvernement ? Si le Premier ministre a fixé avant le 14 juillet la date butoir pour dévoiler ses grandes orientations, le premier président de la Cour des comptes n'a pas attendu pour pousser un coup de gueule. Lors de la présentation son rapport sur le résultat du budget 2024 de l'État, Pierre Moscovici a étrillé la gestion budgétaire des derniers mois. Il a également regretté l'impossibilité pour son institution de certifier les comptes de État "sans des réserves très significatives", dénonçant le "refus persistant de l'administration d'appliquer les principes et normes comptables communément acceptés". L'institution de la rue Cambon déplore "5 anomalies significatives", autrement dit des comptes sous-évalués ou surévalués « sur plusieurs milliards d'euros", mais aussi 11 insuffisances ou incertitudes, sur lesquelles les magistrats financiers ont été incapables de "réconcilier les chiffres". Dans ces conditions, Pierre Moscovici s'interroge sur l'attitude à adopter lors des prochains exercices budgétaires, si ses observations continuent d'être prises "à la légère" et prévient : "en l'absence de progrès significatifs en 2025, la Cour pourrait être amenée à en tirer les conséquences […] autrement dit à ne pas certifier les comptes". L'ancien ministre de l'Économie a d'ailleurs fait la comparaison avec le monde privé. " J'imagine la situation d'une entreprise où le commissaire aux comptes certifierait les comptes avec de fortes réserves ou ne les certifierait pas, et où le conseil d'administration dirait on s'en fiche. Ce n'est pas sérieux !"Du coté des entreprises également, plusieurs grands patrons français ont donné de la voix ces derniers jours face à l'exécutif à Paris et à Bruxelles. Bernard Arnault, PDG du numéro un mondial du luxe LVMH, qui avait dénoncé en février une taxation française pénalisant le "Made in France", a mené la charge jeudi dernier contre l'UE et les "bureaucrates" de Bruxelles. L'Union européenne, selon lui, "n'est pas dirigée par un pouvoir politique […] mais par un pouvoir bureaucratique qui passe son temps à éditer des réglementations", rendant "pas facile" la création d'une "zone de libre-échange" entre les États-Unis et l'UE - une zone à laquelle il s'est dit comme Elon Musk "favorable". Le même jour le directeur général de L'Oréal, Nicolas Hieronimus a évoqué parmi les pistes pour faire face aux droits de douane américains la possibilité de relocaliser "une partie" de la production aux États-Unis. Le PDG de TotalEnergies Patrick Pouyanné s'est lui attaqué dans les colonnes du Figaro magazine au "millefeuille administratif du pays". "Quand il faut trois ans pour faire une ferme solaire aux États-Unis, cela prend sept ans en France. Et pour un projet dix fois plus petit !", selon lui.À rebours de ces positions, Michel-Édouard Leclerc, le président du comité stratégique des centres E.Leclerc, a estimé qu'"il ne faut pas que Bernard Arnault, que Rodolphe Saadé, le président de CMA CGM (qui s'est affiché début mars dans le Bureau ovale avec Donald Trump pour annoncer 20 milliards d'investissements aux États-Unis sur 4 ans) ou Schneider Electric (qui avait dit fin mars compter investir plus de 700 millions de dollars d'ici 2027 aux États-Unis, NDLR) aillent signer leur accord avant que l'Europe n'ait négocié, sinon on a l'air minable". "Je lance un appel à Bernard Arnault : Fais société, fais nation", a-t-il ajouté.Pendant ce temps, Donald Trump poursuit sa guerre commerciale et accentue sa pression sur le président de la Fed, Jerome Powell. "Si je veux qu'il parte, il va partir très vite croyez-moi", a lancé le locataire de la Maison-Blanche jeudi dernier. Une menace réitérée lundi : "Il peut y avoir un RALENTISSEMENT de l'économie à moins que 'Monsieur le retardataire', cet immense looser, ne baisse les taux d'intérêt, MAINTENANT", a-t-il écrit sur son réseau Truth Social. Jerome Powell a pourtant été nommé par Donald Trump en 2017, puis reconduit par Joe Biden en 2022. Son mandat s'étend désormais jusqu'en mai 2026. Mais depuis son retour au pouvoir, le républicain reproche au patron de la Fed de ne pas baisser ses taux assez vite. Une baisse des taux pourrait doper la croissance, alors que les États-Unis viennent d'imposer des droits de douane à presque tous les pays du monde. Mais la Fed préfère prendre son temps afin de ne pas prendre le risque d'aggraver l'inflation qui est repartie à la hausse. Des tensions persistantes entre le président américain et Jerome Powell qui inquiètent les marchés. La Bourse de Wall Street a fini en forte baisse lundi et le dollar poursuit sa dégringolade face aux principales devises mondiales.LES EXPERTS : - PHILIPPE DESSERTINE - Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance, auteur de Le grand basculement - CAROLINE MICHEL-AGUIRRE - Grand reporter au service politique - Le Nouvel Obs - NATHALIE SAINT-CRICQ - Editorialiste politique - France Télévisions - OLIVIA DETROYAT - Journaliste économique - Le Figaro

Everyone wants a piece of general purpose models. Instacart has deployed ChatGPT for recipes and meal planning. The Mayo Clinic is using it to summarize patient records. Schneider Electric is using an OpenAI LLM to generate sustainability reports. With such powerful models, what's the need for specialized models built for specific industries, especially in climate tech? In this episode, Shayle talks to Sam Smith-Eppsteiner, partner at Innovation Endeavors. She recently wrote a blog post arguing that there may be a market that general purpose models struggle to meet: physical industries where training data is siloed, unstructured, and private. She talks through climate-relevant examples like Cadstrom's copilot for electrical engineers, Hubflow's automated trucker scheduling, WeaveBio's AI-powered platform for regulatory approvals. Shayle and Sam also cover topics like: Applicable cases, like cross referencing complicated technical manuals, repetitive manual work that employees dislike, and technical compliance The technical knowledge lost when workers retire and how specialized AI could help What it takes to build specialized models, including data access, vector embedding, prompt engineering, and fine tuning What budget categories businesses might use to pay for specialized models Selling the technology (i.e. the traditional SAAS model) vs selling the work (i.e. answers informed by models) Recommended resources Innovation Endeavors: Specialized brains for industry: the immense potential for domain-specific AI Innovation Endeavors: The next industrial unicorn: Where is AI rapidly transforming the physical economy Catalyst: The coming robotics wave Latitude: How utilities are designing and embedding AI operating models Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

According to the State of Sales Enablement Report 2024, organizations are 80% more likely to increase their win rate when using a unified platform for all of their enablement needs. So how can you leverage a unified platform to drive sales productivity?Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Karl-Philippe Clement, the VP of Sales and customer experience at RIB software. Thank you for joining us KP. I’d love for you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Karl-Philippe Clement: Yeah, well the pleasure is all mine. I’m responsible for everything which is sales operations. We very often call it, or sales excellence related to software company RIB software. We do sell software for the construction industry. We were acquired by Schneider Electric. It was a lot of smaller company, and now we are consolidating our approach, working much closer with the software. Of Schneider Electric, and we have possibility also to improve our sales enablement, but also our sales approach and sales operation for our market. So I’ve been hired two years ago by this company specifically for this approach for sales operation. Previously I worked for Bosch Rexroth and Siemens, and I was there 6 and 16 years respectively. I was able to really focus on growing sales operation and sales improvement along the way. SS: Wonderful. Well, we’re excited to have you here, KP Now you have a lot of experience in both sales, marketing, as well as customer experience. How does this experience across go to market teams really helped to influence your approach to sales enablement at RIB? KC: Well, the experience has a lot to do because when we talk with sales very often, it’s uh, you have multiple age group. What I’ve been seeing, and you have people which are much more familiar with new technology and some are less familiar with technology, some are less ready to go with new technology while the. Looking back at the experience that I was faced with a different job, it was really about not only the customer experience, but the user experience of our salespeople in order to bring sales enablement to the next level. If we cannot tackle our users, our people enablement, I’ll have a big problem to reach our objectives with sales enablement. That’s definitely one of the biggest experiences I gathered in the last years. SS: Absolutely. And RIB actually recently implemented Highspot as its enablement platform. What were the main challenges that led to this decision to invest in enablement and, um, how do you see a unified platform helping to overcome those challenges? KC: There was multiple challenge, right? The user challenge was definitely one, right? Fortunately, with HighSpot, I must really be honest. It helped us a lot because it’s really user friendly. It’s also part of our approach to roll out our new CRM, where HighSpot will be able to help us getting a better user experience within Salesforce. That said, there were also multiple objections to getting another tool. Why I say another tool? Because we are submerged with quantities of tool and different company coming to us, hey, my tool is better than the other tool. Which tool should I use? And there’s so many different tools and we come to an IT stack, which. Unsustainable. So it’s really about how we approach to rationalize what do we really need and what will be the output. So this was a challenge to bring IT organization and make sure that we have the money to fund a new approach, because this is definitely one of the challenge. What do you get? And everybody has their own answers – hey, you can make a lot of money with the tool. So it was one of the challenge we were able to, with the help of Highspot supporting us there for the use case, we were able to resolve those challenge and a much nicer way I would say, which facts very clearly that we could put in front of our. SS: I’d love to learn a little bit more about that, especially as a leader in the evaluation process. How did you go about building the business case for enablement and, and securing that stakeholder buy-in? KC: If I can be honest, Highspot helped us a lot. That’s what I mentioned a little bit prior, they took the time and, and I must say that working with Burak, who work with us from Highspot, really taking a deep dive on looking at our process and really taking the time to analyze and build a pilot and get the right data out. And then we are able to go forward. It’s not rocket science in a way, but the support made it a reality, and that’s mainly how we took the problem to fix it. SS: I love that. I’m curious, as you go about implementing this new platform for the first time, how do you plan to drive adoption and, and really build excitement amongst your sellers? KC: It’s all about the value they can get. It’s quite simple. It’s all about the value they can get. So far from what we’ve been doing during the pilot, the value that the sellers could get out of Highspot was quite high. It was pretty good user journey and they got a lot of value. They were able to tackle, uh, lease much faster. They were able to focus on the leads that are interested in what we sent, and see directly activities in the Digital Rooms and everything. So it’s really about what values the users get so they sell more, they get more incentive. Everybody’s happy. And that’s really to the basic, how can I sell more and faster? Everybody’s focused on efficiency, so it’s as simple as that. SS: I love that. And I know RIB has a diverse set of products and use cases. How can enablement help sellers effectively navigate that complexity at RIB? KC: Well, having the right documentation in the right place. And this was one of the reasons we selected to go with a sales enablement tool. This was one of our challenge, finding the right documentation, making sure it’s adapted in the right way. This was one of the main thing. We have a lot of a portfolio, not everybody is an expert of everything. Onboarding new sellers is definitely one of the challenge. So in this way, we’re able to navigate and help reduce complexity on this aspect. The other aspect is to focus where we need to focus. We need to focus on all these, or do we need to focus on the one that has a real interest. So that was mainly the two main aspects in it. SS: Amazing. And one of your current initiatives is transitioning to a new subscription-based business model. How do you plan to leverage your enablement tech stack to help drive this transition? KC: Well, like I said earlier, a seller is about efficiency and it’s about how much money can you make based on an incentive, right? So from a strategic perspective, we can say from a company, this is where we wanna focus, but it’s really to put the means at the right place. So the enablement will help our seller to be more effective to follow up on the right leads. The incentive, I must say, is a big portion on how will we get more into subscription, or how do we wanna focus of getting the maximum outta subscription. So whether we use annual contract value, a CV, or conditionable a CV to help our people focus on the. More focus. More focus on those needs. The proper needs. SS: I love that. So, shifting gears a little bit, ’cause you just mentioned the importance of, you know, that agility and speed as well as the results in your enablement approach. How do you bring this philosophy to life in your enablement efforts using data and insights? KC: Well, there’s always two sides, right? There’s the side that we have. Data needs to be perfect, needs to be exact, and we need to use the data. And there’s the the other side to say, let’s look at the big picture and not necessarily too much on the details of every single data point. If you’re in sales, it’s about speed. It’s about making the right decision and looking at the data will be perfect. So on speed and on right? From this big, it’s really about speed. SS: Absolutely. I could not agree more. And one of the ways that seems to be creating a lot of expediency these days is AI. So I’d love to understand KP, I know you plan on leveraging AI to enhance seller performance. Can you share more about how you envision using AI to elevate your enablement effort? KC: Well, I can share more a little bit on my expectations. We have not used AI yet since we’re, we need to roll it out on our new CRM platform. We just had the pilot project. Again, it’s about speed. How can AI help us have the right insight, make the right decisions? Increase speed to grab the right customer or grab the right leads and make the most out of it. For me, that’s really where AI is. It’s not gonna replace anybody. I don’t believe it’s gonna replace sellers. I believe it’ll be kind of a co-pilot, don’t want to use this word, but it’s. Being beside our sellers and supporting his approach to really, maybe he’s missing a few points, he’s missing some comments, coming outta discussion. He’s missing some different views to help him make him the right decision. That’s how I see that AI will help a lot. SS: Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, I’m excited for you to get started on that front. What do you think is the potential long-term value of embracing innovations in technology like AI to both help the seller and improve the customer experience? KC: It’s about trying right? Try and error to a certain point. Better try and find out as fast as possible. Competition will do, try and if it works well, well much faster than in. So for me, trial error and always keeping up to date and keeping the speed and trying to make it faster because nobody sleeping and definitely not the competition. SS: Absolutely KP. Last question for you. What is one piece of advice you would give to other companies that are considering investing in enablement for the first time? KC: Do your homework. Look, but also be very clear on what you’re trying to achieve and where do you want to go. Keep the end in mind of where you wanna go. Speed is a key essence of any implementation and rollout to make this a reality supported by the user experience, your user experience, your sellers to embrace and make the most out of it, because there’s a lot of technology there that even looks great on paper if the users are not using it. It’s not gonna make the best. A fool with the tool is still a fool. So make sure that you get the right tool to make sure that the people will use it properly and will get the most out of it. SS: Thank you KP. Appreciate the advice and thank you for joining the podcast. I’ve greatly appreciated your insight. KC: It was my pleasure. Thank you very much. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Rev Lebaredian, VP of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, "Physical and Industrial AI are born in simulation, where they can be tested and validated before being deployed in the real world. By bridging the gap between the digital and physical, the world's heavy industries are paving the way for software-defined manufacturing and intelligent, autonomous systems." As manufacturers embrace AI and automation, experts underscore that digitization is the essential first step. Without digitized processes, true automation and intelligence deployment remain out of reach. Helenio Gilabert, Global Head of Offer Creation, Industrial Automation Services, Schneider Electric, said, "If it's not digitized, you cannot automate it. If you cannot automate it, you cannot deploy intelligence on top of it. To fully harness AI and digital twins, start with a clear digitization strategy - only then can you move toward AI-driven o...

Abhay Parasnis is founder and CEO of Typeface, is former CTO/CPO at Adobe, and sits on the board of Dropbox and Schneider Electric. He joined Ben Casnocha, co-founder and partner at Village Global, for a live masterclass for Village Global founders.Takeaways:If you can break into the top tier of the enterprise market, it's hard to dislodge you.Big platforms like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are eager to prove their tech's power. If you position your startup as a prime showcase for their platform, you become a strategic asset.When selling to enterprise, understand the company's macro strategy in the market, but also know what the on-the-ground person needs to close deals.With the rise of agents and agentic automation, even the workflow layer isn't safe. As these systems gain richer context, they'll redefine automation in SaaS. Just like today's platform vs. app debate, tomorrow's battle will be legacy workflows vs. agents.Success in AI isn't just about top-tier products—it's about being a consultative partner to help them with change management.There's a common fear about embracing a custom data training strategy — it's expensive, complex, and feels like the domain of big players. But starting narrow and accumulating distinct data early is key. It drives real AI differentiation and builds critical internal muscle in engineering and product.Value-based pricing means customers are less price-sensitive because it ties directly to their top-line business, unlike commodity pricing, which faces constant cost pressure. Instead of charging per word, image, or seat—models that AI disrupts—pricing should align with outcomes, ensuring long-term sustainability.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?
