Once my works are shown, there are certain expectations and cliches which are instantly evoked. In my work I only seemingly meet this expectation, playing with them instead. I try not to offer the West End gaze a good look at the Oriental, but to turn this gaze into my central theme, namely the patterns which are used when constructing the Orient. I try to observe so to say how I am observed. I take visual elements from the Oriental cliches familiar to the West and transfer these into a new context. Elements are deconstructed, the meaning expanded beyond the familiar in order to inhibit easy and unquestioning perception. By de-placing familiar signs of ethnic and gender projections I try to visualize the instability of their meanings and create structural irritations. Thus many in-between spaces are developing which withdraw themselves from familiar ways of classification. Analyzing these spaces, displaying them and broaching the issue of how they arise is a central point of my work. In 1998, the story of my life took a new turn when my both parents who were active political dissidents became victims of a series of political murders executed by the Iranian Secret Service at their home in Tehran. My efforts in pursuing the case in Tehran had an effect on my personal and artistic sensibilities. Political correctness and democratic coexistence lost its tangible meaning in my daily life but also the forced upon ethnical identification which I always felt took a new turn with the assassination of my parents. As a result in my work I have tried to distill this conflict of transfer of meaning turning it into a source of creativity. I have tried to deal with parallel questions of identity and cognition in different cultural settings. Now I would like to show you some examples of my work in the recent years. The first work is called Blind Spot. You are seeing one of the images. It is a series of photographs. The protagonists are men who show their shaven backs back of their heads wailed by a chador. Their empty faces are distressing but the beauty of the veil with its silky material and floral pattern is attractive at the same time. I have consciously placed the work in this field of ambiguity. During the exhibition images during the second Berlin Biennale I have shown this work in form of billboards in urban space. The irritation was increased. The version with the lying figures I have shown as a freeze. The ornamental aspect of the work was reinforced and found parallels to Rorschach images. The idea of hidden and wailed gets emphasized. The next work is called Friday. This work tries to visualize the tension between eroticism and the suggestive myth of the veil object or person. The next series of photos is called Swan Rider. By the fusion of the swan with a wailed woman both heavily loaded with meanings and stories I try to surpass familiar boundaries by an ironic approach. The drawings of the series of signs pursue this irony. Here the international modern language of signs pictograms is used to show traditional rules of gender behavior in the Islamic world. The next work Funeral Service is a group of office chairs occupied a room. They are covered with ceremonial Shi'ite mourning textiles imprinted with ornaments and calligraphy. Poems in honor of the Shi'ite martyr Imam Hussein grandson of the prophet Mohammed. By covering office chairs symbols of modern bureaucracy with these traditional cloths originating in the Shi'ite culture of martyrdom and mourning an image of paradoxical simultaneous induced. The tension of the installation is a result of the contrast between religious ecstasy and the bureaucratic everyday structures. In the next work Written Room I use calligraphy again which has a sacral and ritual character in the Oriental world. In this work the Persian script is turned into an ornament. It is eligible for Western visitors but also if one has a command of Persian language. The characters proves to be nothing more than war fragments which are not subject of a linear order. For me the beauty lies in the absence of meaning memory of my mother tongue which has lost its function for me living in exile. The meaning cannot be grasped at best the lettered ping-pong balls which cover the base of the installation can be grasped in a tactual sense. The legibility is made even more difficult by the movement of the ping-pong balls which due to their form offer no stable reading access. They form new patterns over and over again are always in motion and become incoherently disjointed. Viewers entering the written rooms are surrendered by patterns forcing them to give up their distanced point of view. In the next work Documentation I'm using script in a very different way. Here I'm telling my personal story in the context of art using the public form of art to publicize the murder of my parents that was commissioned by the Secret Service of the Islamic Regime of Iran. In the form of an empathetically objective documentation I compile correspondence with the government officers, human rights organizations and political representatives, newspaper articles and photographs assembled in a mosaic reveal the image of a repressive regime that reads itself of dissidents through murder. Whoever wants to contribute to the circulation of this information can duplicate the documents on the photocopying machine provided and take them home. The research of the structures of power is also the central theme of the next work, Eslimi. The decorative surface of the ornament which seemingly harmonizes all distinctions is the central focus of my work. Eslimi is a catalog of patterns. Their design is based on traditional oriental patterns. It is represented as a pattern book in a furniture store which the viewer can flick through and select from. But looking closer, the fine patterns reveal themselves to be stylized genitals or sharp objects such as knives. Sexuality and violence mingle together. Here I use the image of a fairytale-like ornamentally beautiful orient, but taking a closer look it is precisely this cliched images that I try to undermine. I continued the series of pattern based works in the next piece. It is a transport container which is upholstered from the inside. The pink color pattern is made up of knives. There is an extreme contrast between the softness of the material and the pointed ornament. Such containers are usually used to provide short term economically efficient accommodation for instant for refugees. Those who are not permitted to gain foothold who cannot find a homeland. Padding out the container makes it seem like a padded cell traditionally used for restraining the mad. The mad as Foucault has described represent for society the other per se. The broken off dialogue with the mad corresponds to the line of distinction drawn by western societies in relation to the orient. The container becomes a space to explore mechanisms of exclusion. The viewer can enter the padded cell and in doing so they themselves become objects of observation and are compelled to reflect on their observing point of view. The last body of work I am showing is a thousand and one bay which contains wallpaper, work on view in the show, a series of flip books, animations and an installation of helium filled balloons. All these works display a decorative effect when seen from a distance. Whoever comes closer is confronted with the details of what at first sight was an apparently casual pattern. Cool scenes of torture clearly illustrated on the basis of indivisible mixture of fantasy readings and victim accounts. These are posters, the two images. The drawings are computer generated in a style of traditional Persian miniature and independent ornamental vocabulary of violence. There are constantly repeated and in this way correspond to the design principles of wallpaper patterns or balloons. The following images, this image as well, are stills of the animation installation marching bands. Here I try to create a tension between the represented and the aesthetic form of the presentation too. On one hand the shocking subject of torture on the other kaleidoscopical ornamental grouping of figures moving in a setting like dancing forms. The last stills refer to the animation just a minute. The scenes of torture fall symmetrically into an ornamental order. There is no freedom of movement provided but still the aesthetic keeps its attraction. The image collapses and the slide away but reconstructs itself again and again. A merciless reproduction. Thank you very much.


so the cowboys they signed former ravens defensive back to their squad but it's not or otamis it's brandon car brandon car has been signed to the cowboys but it's not just the regular signing because he's being signed to the practice squad and yet the nfl they i don't think this is a permanent thing i think it's just due to the situation i'm not sure if they're gonna continue doing this moving forward but the nfl has come up with a rule that even vested veterans they can be signed to the practice squad so this it works it's good and bad all at the same time because with veterans being able to be signed to the practice squad this gives them more opportunity for a chance this gives them more opportunity for jobs but at the same time it also hurts younger guys like undrafted rookie free agents or some draft picks that may have been cut like six seventh round picks so it it goes both ways and again like i said i'm not sure if the nfl is going to continue this moving forward we just got to wait and see but brandon car is on the cowboy's practice squad now a couple of things with the practice squad this year since he's not only active roster but with the practice squad you can call up two practice squad players per week so you can add two practice squad players to your active roster i mean i believe you can make it from 53 to 55 with those two that you would call up every week and you have the ability to protect four practice squad players per week and that means with protecting them no other team can take them off your practice squad and sign them to the active roster because normally the practice squad i think it used to be 10 people um but whatever it was before um teams could any week at any given moment if they like somebody on your practice squad they could pluck them from your practice squad and then add them to their active roster and there was no protection for anybody if you had somebody on your practice squad anybody could get them but now this year you can protect up to four players and i believe the practice squads are 16 uh people so brandon car again somebody like we talked about before i think this is a good sign for the cowboys but brandon car somebody that can play corner if you need him to that can play safety if you need him to is he the fastest no is he locked down no but he'll be able to get the job done and he will show up every single sunday every single monday every single thursday and if the nfl ends up having games on saturday too he'll show up then because he is extremely reliable extremely reliable so shout out to brandon car congrats shout out to the cowboys oh yeah y'all can throw him a little welcome back party since he used to be there before uh but this time it'll be a little bit different but anyway shout out to y'all team keep it clean appreciate y'all i love y'all and we out


I found this story of a man called Kailash Singh, who has not had a bath since 1974 because some sadhu told him that if he doesn't have a bath and he doesn't cut his hair, he would have a son. That was 48 years ago. Since then he has had seven daughters, no son and his wife by now is 70 years old. He himself is 76 by now so he's not going to have one either but he is still convinced that it will happen because the sadhu said so. His family have tried really hard to get him to bathe.  They even tried to convince him to just take a dip in the Ganga because at least that would be something but apparently he fought them off saying that they were trying to ruin his tapasya, his penance. He said he would bathe when he has a son or he will wait till his next life. You know all I can say is that one daughters are fantastic and two we seriously need sex education.


Hey everyone, it's Gabrielle with Oxmerotic group. I'm here today at Oxmer Toyota. I have Chuck here with me Hey guys, so Chuck is going to go over some information on the 2019. This is the Toyota Forerunner. It's the TRD Pro and it is in this beautiful voodoo blue. It's gorgeous So Chuck tell us a little bit about it. I love this truck. It's the TRD Pro version of the Forerunner Very aggressive grill TRD grill here. It's got the hood scoop up there with the black and lay there It's just a real aggressive just sporty cool look.

Thanks guys. Bye


Hi, good morning everyone. Today I would like to talk about Kubernetes. The title is Kubernetes Failover Improvement. Self-healing or port with persistent volume when Kubernetes node is done. Here is today's agenda. At first I will talk about Kubernetes, Kubernetes Failover issue. I will explain that what is happening when we use Kubernetes in production. And also I will talk about the solution for this issue. Currently the solution for this issue is discussed in Kubernetes community so that I will introduce it. And finally I will talk about development status in Kubernetes community. And also talk about communication in open source community. I would like to think about how we can manage to progress with development in open source community. At first I would like to introduce myself. My name is Yui Komori and I am a software engineer. I joined in Kubernetes community in 2019 and I am mainly contributing for Sieve storage and Sieve testing. Then I will talk about Kubernetes. What is Kubernetes? I just copied and pasted this diagram from kubernetes.io. Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling and the management of container-wise applications. Kubernetes has many features and one of the most attractive features is self-healing. Restarts containers that fail, replaces and reschedules containers when nodes die. Chaos containers that don't respond to your user defined health check and doesn't advertise them to clients until they are ready to serve. And then I would like to introduce some terms in Kubernetes. At first, PUD. PUD is a group of one or more application containers and some share resources for those containers. Then Node. Node is a worker machine in Kubernetes and maybe either a virtual or physical machine depending on the cluster. And then Tint. Tint is a property of PUDs. Tints are applied to PUDs and forbid the PUDs to schedule onto nodes with matching teams. And also I would like to introduce some terms in Kubernetes related to storage volume. And first, persistent volume. Persistent volume is a piece of storage in the cluster. Next, container storage interface called CSI is a standard for exposing arbitrary block and file storage systems to container-wise workloads on container orchestration systems like Kubernetes. Using CSI third-party storage providers can write and deploy plugins exposing new storage systems in Kubernetes without ever having to touch the core Kubernetes code. And I also introduce CSI architecture. CSI driver consists of two plugins. One is Node plugin. Here it's basically the Node component should be deployed on every node in the cluster through a daemon set. And Node plugin communicates with Kubernetes. Let's make the CSI Node service codes which mount and unmount the storage volume from the storage system which making it available to the PUD to consume. Another is controller plugin. Here is controller plugin. The controller components can be deployed as a deployment or state offset on any node in the cluster. It consists of the CSI driver that implements the CSI controller service in one or more sidecar containers like external provisional or external toucher. These controller sidecar containers typically interact with Kubernetes objects and make codes to the driver's CSI controller service. I would like to talk about volume lifecycle in CSI also. This figure represents a lifecycle of volume when we use CSI. And they are names of RPC. At first when container orchestration system like Kubernetes codes create volume RPC then volume status would be moved to created. Then by calling controller published volume RPC status would be moved from created to node ready. In this RPC persistent volume is attached to node. And then by calling node stage volume RPC status would be moved from node ready to volume ready. And then by calling node published volume RPC status would be moved from volume ready to published. In this RPC persistent volume is mounted to code. And then these RPC are reverse operation of these RPC. So that in node unpublished volume RPC this that's unmounted amount and also controller unpublished volume RPC does detach. Next I'd like to talk about Kubernetes fadeover issue and self-healing of parts with persistent volume when Kubernetes node is down. When there are two parts on a node node one and persistent volume the name is PV1. PV1 is attached to node one. When node one is down due to hardware failure we expect these two things. One is that two parts on node one will be created on node two newly. Another is that PV1 will be detached from node one and attached to node two. But actually two parts on node one are created on node two newly. That's good. But PV1 is not detached from node two. Sorry PV1 is not detached from node one. That's not we expect, right? Why this issue happen? I'd like to talk about the reason. Currently persistent volume is not allowed to detach from node when volume attachment exists. Volume attachment is information about attachment of node and the storage. It means persistent volume is not detached yet. Volume attachment resource can be deleted only in the case that volume is already mounted so that we need a new flow which detach persistent volume from node even if node is down. And also I would like to explain what occur in volume lifecycle in CSI when this issue happen. When this issue happen in volume lifecycle in CSI we cannot call any RPC which are done by node planning due to node failure. Next I'd like to talk about the solution for this issue. In Kubernetes community CAP has been posted so that I will introduce it. And first I'd like to introduce what is CAP? CAP is a way to propose, communicate and coordinate on new efforts for the Kubernetes project. You can see the detail in this page. The reason why we need CAP is having a CAP in one place will make it easier for people to track what is going on in the community and find a structured historical record. Especially in case that new feature someone wants to propose has impact to two or more projects, CAP makes sense. Because everyone in different cities feel easy to review. Then I'd like to introduce CAP number 1116. This CAP proposes a solution for the Kubernetes favorable issue. The title is add non-gray for node shutdown. You can see this CAP with this URL. Please check it. The goal of this CAP are that at first increase the availability of state for workloads when node is shut down. And the ultimate self-healing for state for workloads. And no goal of this CAP. One is that node or control plane partitioning other than a node shutdown is not covered by the proposal. But will be addressed in the future and built on top of this design. Second is implement in cluster logic to handle node or control plane partitioning. And enable detach for all the storage providers. And existing entry volume are not targeted by this proposal. This CAP just targets CSI. And then I'd like to talk about what will be changed in CSI volume life cycle by this CAP. This CAP proposes a new flow like this. And new states. So I'll introduce them. And first, quarantined S and quarantined SP are new status for the case. We cannot call node unpublished volume or node unstage volume RPC. When volume status is published and node down, we will be able to call control unpublished volume fenced. So status would be changed from published to quarantine SP. And then by calling node unpublished volume forced RPC, status would be changed from quarantined SP to quarantined S. And then by calling node unstage volume forced RPC, status would be changed from quarantined S to create it. And then I'd like to introduce the solution which the CAP proposes. When node one is done, due to hardware failure, port zc controller in kube controller manager, deletes ports on node one. Then the port zc controller would also apply a quarantine taint on the node one. Quarantine taint is also a new taint which the CAP proposes. This should happen before the ports are being evicted. When this taint is applied to nodes, new ports should not be scheduled on the nodes. Then the attach-detach controller in kube controller manager. Keep checking whether volume is still mounted and deletes volume attachment resource. Volume attachment resource is information about attachment of node and storage. When the external attach here detects the volume attachment object is being deleted, then external attach will call CSI drivers controller unpublished volume RPC. When controller unpublished volume RPC called CSI driver ensures that pv1 is not being used. And then pv1 will be detached from node one. This is called unstorage fencing. One example of storage fencing is that persistent volume has a list named access controller list. With ACL, we can manage which node can access to the persistent volume so that by deleting this data of node one from ACL in pv1, node one cannot access to pv1. And then ports will be created on node two newly and also pv1 will be detached. pv1 will be attached to node two. That's good. Next, I will talk about communication in open source community. As I said, we are discussing on CAP number 1116. This CAP was posted in 2017 so that we having been discussing about this issue over four years. You know, it's very long. The reason why managing this CAP takes so long time is, I guess, there are three reasons. One is that there are so many use cases which we want to cover. The second reason is that this CAP impacts multiple projects. The third reason is the matter related to release cycle. I will talk these reasons in detail in the next slide. The first reason, there are many use cases which want to cover. For example, when shutdown command is executed in this case, this can be solved by graceful shutdown feature. Graceful shutdown feature is a feature which enables Kubernetes to gracefully evict ports during a node shutdown so that we can set grace period to the node. But in order to cover cases related to node failure, like when node hardware is broken or when Kubernetes is unresponsible, they cannot be solved by graceful shutdown feature because when node is done, amount cannot be done so persistent volume cannot be detached from node. And also, it seems like there would be more use cases like network failure so that in order to solve this matter, for example, listing up all use cases and explaining them clearly in CAP seems a good solution. The second reason impact multiple projects. This issue cross over SIG storage which handles storage in the SIG node, which handles node including Kubernetes. So in order to progress with this development, it needs both SIGs agreement. This CAP was posted by SIG storage's member and only SIG storage members had discussed. Then recently, SIG node's member has petitioned to participate it to discussion so that clarifying stakeholders can make appropriate decision, I think. The third reason matter related to release cycle. This is current release cycle of Kubernetes. You can see the period of enhancement fees is very short. And also, after enhancement fees, developers are too busy at other works to continue discussion on CAP. As a solution on this matter, always be aware of release cycle or to check the progress of CAP in weekly meeting seems good summary. Kubernetes is used in production and also said production readiness. But when we use Kubernetes in production, we often or sometimes we'll inconvenient or face issues. In such cases, we can share these issues and solve them in community. In this presentation, I explained one of such topics around pod cell healing. If you are interested in this issue, please join us in our discussion. Thank you for listening. That's all. Bye-bye.


Senator Magnus Abbey has called on the resident of Coral Coral Community in Tai Luka government area of River State to choose the right leaders in the next general election. He appealed to the people to use the opportunity of the 2023 elections to vote in leaders that would make the place interesting for the people above their personal interests. He spoke of the weekend during which he thanked his visit to members of the Supreme Council of the traditional ruler of Oguni. It was the palace of the president of the Tai Kingdom. His royal majesty King Godwin Giniwa, the traditional ruler, pledged to support Abbey to become the governor and the presidential ambition of Siwa Jew Bola Akma Tunnabu.
