Okay, now it's time for questions, so if you want to add anything else, if not the floor is yours, and we have the micro, if you don't have any questions by now, because I guess that questions will be coming. Maybe one question for the three of our speakers, because the three of you have been doing connections between nowadays and the 68, and so a question for the three of you. In what extent nowadays protests, let's say in your countries, are based or let's say inspired in the 1968 demonstrations and demands and the programs of that time? You want to start, Mary? Okay, again, very interesting situation in Croatia right now, because protests in 1968 in Yugoslavia were pro-Yugoslav protests, they were pro-socialist protests, and three years later in Croatia, in Zagreb University, protests for Croatia, and so let's say very national, okay, so protests in 1971, student protests in 1971 in Zagreb University, they were protests for, I will try to maybe simplify, for independent Croatia and not so Yugoslav and not so socialist, and in 90s when Yugoslavia broke up, those guys from 68, they were Yugoslavs, so they were enemies, and those guys from 1971, they were real Croatians, so in this moment in Croatia, there are no discussions or anniversaries of official of 1968, there are some roundtables where I'm participating and some my colleagues, but 1971 student protests, they are the key moment for protestors, so there's the difference and there's a reason why 68 today in Croatia is not only not well known, but it is let's say anti-creation, it's in a way, when you ask people to say it was pro-Yugoslav, yes I think one of the major differences is there was a very clear enemy then in case of Spain which was Frankel, and that unites different forces and different people from very different backgrounds, and perhaps today the other difference I find of course is the new technologies, there everything was presential, students went to the universities, even if they were closed and the police were there and what we call the grays, but the secret police were also in the classrooms, but despite that, the clandestine ways of informing one another worked, so I think that's a major difference, the ways of communicating about protests and sites of protest, I think that's, well the social media today is totally different and I think that leads to new forms of social movements of how people actually exercise protest, so I think that's one major, a second major one, the first one I mentioned is that everything was very clear then, the fight against Frankel, it was also very clear I think by that young generation of students that we could change the world, the world could be changed and it was very important, the involvement of every person in it, and the collective identity was extremely strong, now we're in a society which is based on the individual interests, so the creation of a collective identity, a collective protest of identifying with others, I think that is another difference, it will come about eventually, but that notion of collective protest I think was very entrenched in the mentality of the time, not just by younger students but in general, the whole idea of social movements was based on that I think, so yes, and student movements today, well they're very, I would say quite fragmented, if we speak about Catalonia it would be one thing, we speak about other parts of Spain and the other, and a lot had to do, I'm thinking back for example, the introduction of Bologna, the Bologna model, that did bring about a lot of student protests, but perhaps in a way that you mentioned earlier, the protest had to do with the university at the time, not with society, but maybe to some extent with the educational system, but they were in the 60s, in the 68s, 70s, everything was immediately linked to whole of society and values and change, and then of course today in Catalonia it's quite different, it's another collective action and another agenda obviously, so yeah, there are changes, and the world has changed from 68 to today, so I think that makes obliged changes as well. Just one sentence to add, sorry, when I'm comparing memories of students in 1968 and when I'm looking and speaking with my students today, so today it's free democratic society in Croatia and that was, let's say, it was one party dictator, but students, young people then, it seems to me they were more optimistic and enthusiastic than those today, my students are so passive, so let's say they don't want to go somewhere to protest, it's you know, maybe it's because there is no clear enemy, so then it was and right now I think it's everything is possible and there is another thing, it was forbidden then, now nothing is forbidden, you can go and say, oh president is stupid, so what, but then it was maybe some motivation to go and to protest. Sorry, okay, so there are, there is many similarities, so many similarities, okay, despite the very fact that there is no more communist dictatorship in Poland, so perhaps those similarities are not that important because there is no more communist party to revolt against and we got freedom of press, freedom of speech, we got still democracy, all beat us, some claim, some claim, somehow in danger, but the similarities makes, there are jokes that to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 1968 in Poland, Polish authorities decided to stage reenactment of 1968 crisis in Poland these days and to some extent it's true, I can explain briefly why, because you know there are many angles to that and there are many factories that creates those similarities, first of all the generation of 1968 rebels, the generation of 1968 I was talking about then became the very important generation of Polish dissident movement and then they constitute the important part of political elites in Poland after 1989 and they got its own grudges with current elites of ruling low injustice, because the generation 1968 were mostly leftists, so they were not like, they were detested by the right wing Polish parties, so and probably some of you heard, some of you not, in 2015 in Poland, in parliamentary election, the parliamentary election was won by low injustice, the nationalist conservative, rightist nationalist conservative party, which started instantly to further the kind of national revolution in Poland, mostly focused on changing the politics of memory, they pay a lot of attention to politics of memory, low injustice, so they put much emphasis on this aspect of their agenda, they prioritized it in their agenda, the issues of history as general, which put them on the collision course with Israel and with the United States because of very controversial law, forbidding to mention Polish sins during the Holocaust, which was a dead ringer of what happened in 1968, this is what I was talking about, the enemy of the foe, the picture of the enemy in 1968 consisted mostly of this figure of people detesting Polish history, so once again Polish government denounced people detesting Polish history because it was denouncing Polish historians speaking about some kind of Polish involvement in Holocaust or involvement of some Poles, so it happened that the conflict of 1968 reverberated once again in Polish society because the current agenda of Polish government triggered absurd of anti-Semitism in Polish society against Jewish historians who falsify Polish history, who lies about Polish history and so on, those phrases obviously there are quotations here in my mouth and on the other hand there is the similarity of struggle between generation of 1968 and the government who is furthering the nationalist agenda, these are the very, it's hard to explain clearly for people who doesn't live in Poland but in from a Polish perspective the similarities of propaganda language of press articles mostly of the press that are supporting government and the right-wing parties they are really striking sometimes it's like you cannot tell the difference between the articles from 1968 and the contemporary article from Polish press and there are obviously differences very important there is no student movement, political student movement in Poland these days and there is no students and youth revolt in Poland these days and if youth are politically organized they mostly support ruling party and it's very sad to say but we witness a great surge of neo-fascist movement in Poland mostly consisted of young people, that's all. Also students unfortunately, they are very influential at the universities, the so-called national radical camp, it's a pre-war Polish organization, strictly fascist which enliven its revival these days and many people, young people joined their ranks and also from university, also students. My question was, why do I speak Catalan, because I have to speak English, I will lose it, I will lose Catalan. I don't understand what is happening in Poland at the moment, the legislation, women on the street against these laws, there is something historical that doesn't bring us to the 30s that explain what happens in Poland that they don't want refugees, it's a link, anti-semitism has changed it for anti-Islamism and what happens with the rights of women, because I remember that in the European Union when the Pecos, the countries of the East started, women were educated, they had worked, they had children in the guards and they took some of the important positions that the other side of the Europeans, Spain for example, now we have discussed because if it was a woman, it was a woman who replaced the minister who went to the European Bank, so the Polonians and the others were prepared, what happens, what do women do in Poland? The 50% of the population against this regime that is authorized, it is very authoritarian, they leave the street, but what else can they do? He who is a university, who is a professor who explains to us, without the lies that the prince explains, what is happening in Poland and if it can stop this? There is a sense of many phenomena, many processes at the same time, there are women protests against the new law, obviously it's a part of current political conflicts within Polish society, because law and justice, ruling law and justice, somehow probably to cause it up to the Catholic Church, they further the new, they propose the new draconic, very harsh, anti-abortion law, next to Saudi actually, something like that, it's incredibly harsh and it triggered women to oppose, even women who didn't actually sympathize with left or with feminist movement, simply the level of outrage was so great that it triggered demonstration and it united women and it united Poles actually, because also men took part in those demonstrations. Personally I didn't take it because I had to take care of kids when my wife went there, but people were united against this new law because it was really draconic and inhumanitarian, deeply inhumanitarian and on the other hand we have got this revival of political trends from the 30s, which are somehow connected obviously to nationalist stands of current government, nationalist protest, stands of current government, it's very similar to what was happening and what is happening still in Hungary, where we got rightist centrist Fidesz and Jobyk to the very right, which is very convenient for Orban and for Fidesz to gain people support, to present or Fidesz is in position to present themselves as the only defendant against the neo-fascist movement, so law and justice sometimes tries to win those support from neo-fascist movement, sometimes they oppose neo-fascist movement presenting them themselves as the only boundary that could save country from falling into madness of fascism. I don't know why they are so popular, why the neo-fascist movement is so popular, perhaps it didn't exist for so many years in Poland, you know it's simply the idea of changing social attitudes, the idea of sinusoid that people were sympathizing with the left, now they support the right and the National Radical Camp offers, it's usually for fascist movement, offers easy solution and know how to harness people's anger, people's scare, people are frustrated, people are afraid. There is anti-Islamism in Polish society, very strong, which is funny because we got no Muslims at all, but there is strong anti-Islamism in Poland, I don't know why it happened. I think it came from UK because Polish immigration to UK, they had and they still have many ties with Poland and they in UK became the citizens of the second sort, so it was kind of competition with Islam, a Muslim society within UK, we are worse than native British citizens, but at least we have to be better than those migrants from the Far East. So this is probably the nature of anti-Islamismism that was then transferred to Poland and here it found, I don't know, but the fertile ground in Poland. I could give a whole lecture on this, but I don't want to steal your time, so I hope I was of some help here. The role of the church is always very important in Poland, it was very important in communist time because church served as a kind of asylum for people and even for dissident movement and the persecution weren't that strong, so they rather entrenched the church, then made it weaker and now the church takes advantage of its merits in communist time and obviously it's the institution by itself with kind of totalitarian ambition, sorry I need to say that, but it's somewhere embedded in the very nature of the religion to gain people and to impose its belief on the society. We have got a small part of so-called open church, which is open for dialogue and inclusive, not exclusive, but most of the church is very traditional, rooted in the pre-war times with very traditional view of the social order of men's and women's role, obviously against gay marriages and more or less strongly, still very strongly antisemitic. I'll direct this one to Mary Nash because it seemed that you were arguing for a more pluralistic view of 68 and I was wondering if you could talk maybe a little bit about within Europe the use of the memory of 68 which countries are then included and which are not because it seems like a very diverse of course conception of 68 within the different countries, so I was wondering how the European Union is using this memory and if it's being used and if you see any changes or so in that use. The European Union policies on that because this project is part of that, right? Well first of all I think and this is an ongoing position and argument for the need to develop a counter narrative to a hegemonic narrative on Europe and I think this goes way back not just from May 1968 but on probably other issues as well and in this case I think we're talking about power structures of center periphery that have not accounted on many occasions for example for the Mediterranean countries or coming from Ireland, I speak of that in terms of periphery and I think this has been extremely fruitful and enriching and insightful just to see the differences there are but then again the problem is or the question will be what can we do about it shall we develop another European project on the development of counter narratives and there I would go back to Nancy Fraser and others on the politics of recognition and that I think is the major problem because we do have the studies we do have the publications in different languages if they're not published in English then there is not a recognition of it and so this this is again goes back to power structure academic power structures and the establishment of cannons or even of concepts and the conceptualization of of 68 has been in terms of France maybe UK and has not taken into consideration another understanding of it so I don't think to my knowledge up to this point that there has been a considerable effort by the European Union to recreate a narrative on May 68 or a narrative on European history per se and in that sense I always go back to my beloved side Edward Said I think that a lot of the construction of historical narratives has had to do with the other the construction of the other in terms of the other but within Europe I argue not referring to Orientalism and the East or to colonial societies but actually within Europe itself and I do feel very strongly that we need we need to address it and this happens in all areas it could happen in terms of women's studies or political history or cultural history etc. and the difference now is I think that we do have the instruments to address that what we need probably is political involvement and people like Gervie and Uriel to organize projects like this that we give a counter narrative but a counter narrative that doesn't remain here that doesn't remain in the drawer that may be published in English but should be published in the major publishing houses because if it's not there then there will not be recognition I don't know whether I've answered your question but there we go completely agree is there any more questions from the audience one more I was wondering in the Polish situation then because you have this link of 68 which does has a huge recognition it seems being said March and then right away thinking 68 I was wondering if sort of dissident movements now are stem from that movement or are linked to that movements still experience the same anti-semitism because of their supposed origin from that movement exactly sorry it was really strong strong voice yes yes I like that sense of strength and yes exactly sometimes they are still the same people so Adam Michnik is still very influential person in Poland he's editor-in-chief of the largest Polish daily newspaper Gazeta de Borca which is strongly against law and justice and obviously they are the ex-commandos that the people who belong to the commandos group I was talking about are still under attack from government because of their political involvement and obviously we've referenced to the same arguments for instance few years ago the book came out entitled minister ministerial children and it's hard to translate actually but it was a resort of a Gigi ministerial children it was about the elites of Poland after 1989 that are of that have children of communist officials and communist establishment it was more or less far-fetched arguments there in the book because they the authors tried to prove their thesis with very far-fetched arguments and distorting reality in many ways but actually they they use the same arguments exactly the same arguments that were used in 1968 these are children from communist Jewish communist families and even the same documents by secret police were used again after for almost 50 years they were the same are the same documents the same quotations from the same documents about the Michnik's father or Blumstein's father or Gross parents or something like that pointing out that these are people that are external to Polish nation because they are of foreign origin and they never could share the same values as true original polls so yes the arguments are the same and this is the fact that obviously raises strong response from the Polish center from Polish left from Polish intellectual media because people recognize the so-called March language in Zygmarca it's it's a very noxious mixture of nationalism false egalitarianism and it could be people know it could end simply in dictatorship bueno una mica parlaremos de la una mica va tan para el señor clasic on parla profesor de medinax el profesor clasica mostrat molta preocupació para la patia que en este momento mostra el joven para moltes cosas es una preocupación que yo te metí y me fa pensar en una cosa que va a ir así sento que cada vegada tinc menos neurones no recuerdo la autora de la frase pero si el libro entre varios y que era de mil ses mit on una profesora nordamericana y activista en un momento nada van a la clase cinta rom es posa maltrista y diu el pitjor de totes que ya no tinc capacidad para imaginar la revolución y yo creo que es una mica el que nos pasa que neoliberalismo ha invadido y son absolutamente incapacitos de imaginar un mon que no sigui al mon que temer es una cosa que creo que no pasaba l'anxixen de buit la profesora merinax ha parlat de l'esperanza que es crea i com que jo sóc una mica fila d'aquell moment puc dir que sí que recordo que els anys amb una imensa esperanza amb una alegria increïble i amb un moment en què pensaba que podia passar tot i que tot seria bo és una cosa que des de que va caure l'aurs això no passa la veritat és que no passa i la nostra juventud i almenys l'espanyola cada vegada tem més preocupacions i unes preocupacions que l'impedeixen per exemple a lo millor interessar-se para que estem parlant avui. Això aniesa una mica també amb tot el que és la revolució feminista que ha fet menció la profesora merinax i jo li volia fer una observació no sé si allá ho compartirà però jo he vingut veient que en realitat aquelles dones franquistes que realment dius mare de Déu jo no vull aquest món ni de casualitat no vull viure aquesta vida però que en realitat se't fixa en altres países occidentals després de la Segona Guerra Mundial es una mica el que es fa amb la dona i a tot un seguit de pelicules de propaganda que porta la dona fora de l'àmbit del travail capa la vida doméstica i per tant bueno potser d'Espanya sí que era molt pitjor que altres llocs també perquè partíem de uns nivells molt més baixos de participació femenina en el travail declarat perquè la dona aquí ha treballat sempre de manera legal o no legal però sempre ha de treballar i això ja seria una mica amb el que jo li demano la seva opinió amb el canvi que s'ha produït si tenim en compte per exemple la vaga mundial feminista del 8 de març on justament a Espanya ha sigut al lloc del món on més dones han sortit al carrer i on més reivindicacions ja i si realment ens hem alliberat d'aquest travail doméstic o a aquestes noies que estan a la universitat magníficas que acabo de veure quan entrava en realitat quan viuen en parella no de manera insensible i automática no assumer-se en ellas totes una serie de tasques que en realitat son tasques de la parella gracias if you'd like to comment on anything about the role of the students and the motivations to raise yeah sorry it was more a comment than a question and I really agree and I don't have I'm really not I think we need experts in psychology and sociology and all other fields to help us with that why are they or are they really apathic or just as Mary mentioned they are active in other way they are active in the virtual reality they are not active here but they are huge debates on forums on Facebook on Twitter so maybe it's a different way of activism right now it maybe doesn't and I agree with you with this liberalism and I'm not agree with Fukuyama and his end of history but you know you made one answer so Fukuyama's point was okay there were three ideologies let's say so it was a fascism it was communism it was a liberalism and communism was conquered and fascism and there is only liberalism and that's it that's so we have everything right now and nothing more and nothing new so maybe it is maybe you really answered it so there is there are shades and there may be just different approaches but not crucial enemy or just we can't or young people can't recognize the the the real enemy I'm I'm not sure yes I agree that we need a lot a wider panel of specialists in about the general question of apathy and and pessimism I think that the 68th generation were optimists despite the difficulties and they they had that idea that they were historical subjects they were able to intervene and change things but for example on the horizon then there weren't issues like ecological issues there weren't other kinds of issues that are very much present today and may may lead and what probably Bauman would talk about liquid society so everything is much more diluted if you wish and so why as I mentioned earlier the capacity to identify with a cause and have a collective identity before that was in a way simpler in a way I would think at the time or at least we yeah I would say that now regarding women I think also it's a very complex situation as I showed with some of the images in the case of Spain under the Franco dictatorship it was the oppression of women was so clear by law and also through the discourse on women that that facilitated if you wish the rebellion of women against the imposition not just of the laws which they did want to change obviously but also against the role and the model of women under role in society there was a point when it was thought that domesticity this discourse and practice of domesticity that meant that women had to engage with the family work and were identified through motherhood and reproduction that that came directly from the Franco regime okay however it is also very clear that this gender system which was installed in the 19th century the modernization of society that is in all European societies and I would actually probably make the argument that it was less visible and more subtle in countries like France or even the UK and other countries it was so obvious in the case of Spain that imposition and discrimination of women that in a way it was easier for women to challenge that and I think that's one of the explanations of the rapidity with which women changed in the first years of the transition and the whole structure of the gender order or part of it under Franco was was challenged at least what I have argued is that the feminism and the women's movement managed to to somewhat modify the political cultures of the transition in order to include women's rights reproductive rights at the time which would have been probably more difficult in other societies does in practice the other thing is how society changes or not and it is true that although there has been immense changes in a number of issues regarding women's role in society feminism male and female identity obviously this has not been solved and we do know about occult discriminatory practices both in the labour market in the home and it is much more difficult to make them obvious and evident it was much easier under Franco if you wish and this I think has to do with the politics of identity and gender identities in society female identity that was constructed relating women to nature reproduction motherhood that was challenged and changed however the notions of male identity have not been subject to such challenges so male identity that was conformed in 19th century on the basis of virility sexuality but also on being the breadwinner today 21st century given the situation of the precariousness of work the lack of stability in work the capacity for the male the man to provide for the family economy based on his own salary this is this is gone in other words the major pillars of male identity to my mind have have changed and yet there has not been a reflection on that and what does this lead us to it does lead to the reminiscence and continued practices if you wish that within the sphere of the family it's much more difficult to to change some some practices and that may lead to what you have said particularly among the very young generations this is what we're finding in the schools that there is a degree of male control of women of young women very young women but on the other hand I'm fortunate enough to work in teacher the university where I have male and female students and and I am optimistic about that generation of younger males coming in and questioning the notions of masculinity and male power that had been inculcated and they had lived through and questioning that and and in that sense I am an optimist but of course we all know that systems are established systems are redirected refunded reformulated reappropriated to ensure continuity and this to some extent has also happened in regarding gender relations and I think it's up to us as historians to identify the mechanisms to my mind are no longer legal or it's not a question of order and justice but these are cultural mechanisms that are still happening through the media through other many other areas or arenas that ensure the continuity of traditional gender roles are the modification or the slowness in their modification or that they may emerge in a different way and that I think is has happened in so many times in history I just would like to add that 1968 in in a global perspective was much it was already told much immersed in great ideologies for those in in France in Paris we saw those neo-maxism we saw Trotsky's and we saw a portrait of Che Guevara Hoshimin who else Mao Tung and all those great ideologies actually they got bankrupted so there is no great narratives promising easy solutions and there is no the most the one most very important difference is there is no more framework of Cold War 1968 happened within the framework of Cold War and the the great fear which underpinned was are them underpinning those societies the great fear of nuclear armageddon it wasn't voiced directly in 1968 but I think I think I feel it was somehow there the great fear of the global war between nuclear empires it's still valid because we got still nuclear empires that are on collision course perhaps more now than in 1968 but the fear that the people are not aware of the fact people perhaps these days and there is no much more those of those global of those Cold War framework within societies okay so thank you very very much to the three speakers we really hope that your presentations will be inspiring the youth nowadays to struggle for the end to struggle for the freedoms and and and the civil rights that are being that are in danger within the EU also nowadays just to add that the the presentations have been recorded in video and will be available in our website also part of this project which is a European project with different partners one of the outcomes will be a publication will be a book published in English including the presentations of our guests today and and some other articles and the third outcome of this project will be a traveling exhibition an exhibition on the 68 in in whole Europe but specifically in these three countries the exhibition will be open in Liviana in the in the coming month then it will travel to Warsaw and finally it will finish here in Barcelona so

It may be my last day, my first sake of the night of 1948, and we will not revaluate my disposal when thousands of much because the toilets are not accessible. How to 75 years of occupation, of oppression, of injustice, of the occupying genocide, but when the first able to share their first hand accounts of the atrocities and the horrors we have today, the Garzan population will be disregard the international human rights laws in place. I leave to not feel helpless and to not despair. God chose us to be here. We need to play a ball. There will be a blackout. Put pressure on your government. Follow organizations that are doing the groundwork here such as APAN and many other organizations and most importantly


Hi there, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel Inside the Hymn. Even though you wouldn't know it by the crazy hop temperatures here in South Carolina, it's officially fall, and that means it's time for Stylemaker Fabrics fall style tour. It's easily one of my favorite collaborations since Michelle lets us pick whatever fabrics we like and make whatever we want. This year I wanted something that screamed fall, but I also wanted something on trend. And when I saw the stretch camo I knew I was on to something. Camo has taken the world by storm here in the past few months. It's absolutely everywhere. Since the Stylemaker Fabrics camo is intended for bottom weight and y'all know how I hate making pants, I opted for a basic denim skirt pattern. After looking at several options, I landed on style arcs Sally jean skirt. Fair warning, this is not for beginners. The instructions are vague and the few illustrations that are included are more confusing than they are helpful. I was able to get a good fit by doing a half inch full seat adjustment similar to the tutorial I posted with Abby a couple of years ago. I also ended up tapering the side seams to give it less of an a-line and more of a pencil shape. If you need some camo in your life too, the textured camo stretch bottom weight I used was great. It's very sturdy, but still has some give to it, which is nice for a skirt, pants, or shorts. It also has enough weight to it that it would make a great utility jacket too. Stylemaker Fabrics is offering two additional camos this season. One is this gorgeous tonal gray, which is a little more subtle and the classic satin, both of which would make great dresses, why not, skirts like pencil, a-line, circle, or pleated, pants, shorts, or even a cute jacket. The top really was fate. I saw a couple of these lace-up back sweaters on Pinterest and I knew I could make one if I was able to find the right fabrics. When I saw Stylemaker Fabrics had sweater knit with matching rib knit, I knew it was time to make this sweater a reality. I used a standard v-neck sweater pattern, McCall's 7 6 6 0 to be exact, filled in the front neckline, dropped the back neckline to a V at the waistline, lengthened and narrowed the binding and added eyelets. I opted for cell fabric for the ties, which I think gives it a cozier vibe. If you want to make your own lightweight sweater this year, this sweater knit and matching rib are a dream to work with. Michelle has them in four colors, magenta, ruby, and jade. Purple is available as a sweater knit, but not in the rib. I hope you all like my new outfit. If you want a tutorial on the sweater, let me know in the comments below. Otherwise, check the description box for links to the fabrics mentioned in this video. I'll also have links to the previous stops on the tour. We are close to the end and there have been so many exceptional makes by them women and men that have come before me. I hope you'll give them some love too. But until next time, I'll see you all very soon. Bye!

So this is an update on a concept clearance which we had brought to council in May of 2011 that we had received recommendation from council to put out as a notice instead and then follow the field and see how it progressed. So as you may remember, the results from the GWAS catalog have now found over 1,500 genome-wide associations at a level of P5 times 10 to the minus 8 for over 200 traits. However, even now there are still only about eight hits that have been found on the X chromosome which is one more than there were a year ago. And last year we brought a concept clearance for the whole chip which proposed to support a broader utilization of genome-wide association data looking primarily at the X chromosome as well as the Y chromosome mitochondrial DNA and CNV analysis. And the goal of this was to look at this underutilized data and facilitate a more comprehensive analysis of this data in genome-wide association studies to develop and validate new methods for analyzing this data and put forward new analytical strategies and statistical methods that would be widely available to the community. There were a number of recommendations that were made at council a year ago. The first one of these was to go forward with publishing a notice rather than putting out a RFA for this initiative and to try and encourage applications to come in through the unsolicited mechanisms with R01, R03 and R21 applications. To present this finding at a number of meetings and try and kind of get the word out, write a paper on the findings that we have and publish it in a prominent journal. To return to council in about a year and present what we've found so far which is what we're doing now. And to remove the CNV part from this because there was really a feeling from council that CNVs were a little bit more advanced than some of these other data types on the X chromosome, the Y chromosome and the mitochondrial DNA. And so we have issued a notice. We did remove the CNV part from the concept but this is basically the same idea that was brought forward in the concept clearance that's put into this notice. And the goals are fundamentally the same to facilitate this type of analysis in these underutilized data types. So we're hoping for individuals to put forward applications that would analyze existing GWAS data for the Y chromosome, X chromosome and mitochondrial variants to focus on data sets that have not previously been analyzed as well as to develop new methodologies and disseminate this to the field in general. And we'd really like to hope that this would also include diverse populations. So far we've gotten our first batch of applications that have gone through peer review and are hoping to get a couple of them that will come out of that and be funded. We've put forward a number of presentations over the past year. We've presented at the Genomics of Common Disease meeting as well as HGV and the American Society of Human Genetics meeting. We've presented this internally at the Director's Forum quarterly meeting. And we have been working on an X chromosome commentary discussion with a journal currently that we're hoping will be published soon. And then just to give you an update on the numbers, this is the data that we presented a year ago to counsel looking at the percentage of genome-wide association papers that are published in the GWAS catalog that analyzed the X chromosome. And we've now completed a number of more months worth of analysis. And as you can see, the trend is approximately the same with about 33 percent of the papers looking at the X chromosome. So it looks like this isn't something that has really changed over time. Even in the following year, we still have only eight hits in the GWAS catalog that are showing up as significant meeting GWAS catalog standards. And we really feel that this is an area that really does still need some stimulus to be able to bring forward new methodologies that are accepted by the community and hope to be funding some grants in this area soon. So if you have any questions, I will take those now. Yes. As I think the noisiest one against this a year ago, I guess I was wrong. Thanks for bringing the data. Thank you. Anything else? Anyone? Okay. Thank you.


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Informatica World 2017, brought to you by Informatica. Okay, welcome back everyone live here with theCUBE exclusive coverage for Informatica's event, Informatica World 2017. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE. My co-host this week is Peter Burris, General Manager of Wikibon Research, wikibon.com. Our next guest is Rodney Forman, Senior Vice President of Partner Ecosystem at Informatica. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you for having me. So, like the cloud, like data, ecosystem, Partner Ecosystem right now is one of the hottest areas in the build out within the supplier base for customer delivery of value. And we're seeing the channels change, the products change, and certainly with data 3.0 and Claire, you're seeing an opportunity is almost a fertile ground of developing partnerships and extending existing ones, creating new ones. Informatica, well poised, what's the strategy? What's the plan? Just give us the update on the ecosystem and what the plans are. So, we realize that in order for us to reach all aspects of the market, mid-market, enterprise, that it's important for us to have a strong network of partners. And that includes the largest global SIs that you see many sponsoring this event, Wipro, Deloitte, Accenture, Cognizance of the World, as well as resellers, as well, some of the largest resellers now are starting to sign on with our new channel program, which we just introduced in January. And we're seeing a lot of new opportunity and a lot of new customers that have not bought Informatica before that we're now selling to and reaching through the reseller network. And then we also have our ISVs, which are, you know, signing OEM agreements and incorporating our technology and their solutions to sell to the market. So it's another type of partner, you know, that we have. And then also a number of MSPs who are providing value-add around our technology and delivering complete solutions to the market are also helping extend our market reach. And it's really about customer buying patterns today. Customers are buying from partners because they can deliver an end-to-end solution. And wrap services around it as well. Absolutely. So let's talk about that, because this becomes really a dream for a partner and a supplier like Informatica. Jerry Held, your board member was on this morning or with us earlier, he talked about data being the heartbeat. But yet data is so pervasive. You could have levels of expertise.  All kinds of data touch points in an organization. So how do you go out there and develop that channel? Is there a strategy around identifying certain partners that are just in a whole different class, have expertise than others? Because some might touch data differently, but data certainly is going to be robust. Yeah, what I'm finding where partners are having the most success for us right now is they develop a solution around a particular vertical. And let's say healthcare, for example. So they'll specialize in data management for healthcare organizations and go to market with that. They'll, you know, we've got partners that have had some key wins with some very large healthcare companies and it's snowballs. And they tend to stay there. So specialties are okay. Oh, absolutely. That's vertical markets, right? Yeah, absolutely. But that's the beauty of software and the beauty of this data focus is that if you have the chops to deal with data and deal with software and you're a reseller, then you can do enormous, incredibly impressive customization and refinement of a solution for your customers. Yeah, well and one of the best kept secrets of Informatica is that we have an incredible data security product. But our sales team sells data management. They don't sell data security. Who sells data security very well? Partners. So we're finding a network of partners that love our data security product. They see the engine behind it, which came from our other products, which does great data discovery. And then we coupled that with an outstanding user interface and then our data masking capability so that when you find a security vulnerability, you can do something with it. And we have partners that are just doing very light touch POCs and very quickly that the customers get it. They say, look, I understand that I've been focused on protecting the perimeter. I need to secure at the source, which is the name of the product, secure source. I need to secure at the data. And we're finding partners that are security focused are very, very good at selling that product and have the relationships we need to get to the CSOs, et cetera, to sell much better than our direct team. And so we're finding that partners are again, penetrating the market in areas that we haven't before because of their capabilities and skills. Rodney, the key about partners is they're also the canary in the coal mine because they're close to the customer. But they're also always striving to be relevant and they're going to make the right choice on behalf of the customer. They'll have multiple vendors in there that they're supporting. So I've got to ask you, as Informatica, lead executive of the channel, they all want to be relevant. So what's your message when you say Informatica can make you relevant to the customers in the fill-in-the-blank? Yeah, well what we tell them is we're your competitive differentiator. I mean, you've got an offering where you're trying to take customers to the cloud. For example, well that solution has to include data integration, both on-prem and cloud, and it's got to work together. I mean, we have partners that actually are very successful just focusing in on customers that are implementing Salesforce. And they go into the customer and say, you've got sources of data that will feed Salesforce. You've got to bring all that together. How are you going to do it? And they say that's a huge challenge for us, right? And they solve that problem using our technology. And partners have built businesses just around that. So the relevance is you can make them more competitive vis-a-vis other partners. Exactly. Well, let me try this on, because I think it's a great question, John. And let me see if you agree with this, Rodney, that the digital world is predicated in the idea that data is a strategic asset. Correct. You guys are in a position to provide tooling that allows your partners to start talking about for their entire mass of potential customers, what it means for their customers to start to move into a digital world. Exactly. Is that really kind of what you're saying? You're saying, look, your customers are going to want to go here. They may not know. Not a lot of people know how to do this. Here's a toolkit that you can start to master. So your customers can start to master and use that to move into this new era. Yeah, absolutely. Is that kind of the story? Yeah, I'll give you an example. I just had a meeting at Microsoft. Where... Who? Never heard of him. A little company called Microsoft. It's about relevance. Okay, I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you. The focus was around the solutions that global system integrators have built on Azure. And we did an inventory of those solutions. And we looked at that inventory from a perspective of which solutions need our technology, which solutions need data management, data integration, data quality, things we're good at. And about half of those, half of the inventory of those solutions that these SIs have built need our technology and add value to those solutions that are taking the market and make them more competitive, which benefits Microsoft because it drives data and compute consumption for these solutions. And so now these SIs are saying, we're just going to embed that technology from Informatica in these Azure-based solutions so we can sell more. And we're doing the same thing with AWS, same thing with Google as well. And the multi-cloud message that's happening, you're starting to see multi-cloud really kind of be the new vision, but it really is where hybrid will go. Hybrid cloud is certainly legit today and hardcore architectural stuff's being worked on. But the interesting thing is let's see how customers are handling their data. And they're not picking one cloud for their data. There's no data cloud. Data everywhere strategy. And you guys certainly agree with that with Informatica. What's your advice to the channel partners as they prepare? Again, back to my tiering. You got a heart surgeon. You have other specialties out there. How do you guys look at that?  I mean, how is Informatica dealing with this breadth of channel? Yeah, so since I've joined, we've implemented a new channel program so that partners can invest in Informatica and build a business around us that is consistent and competitive in the market. And then we also have implemented an authorization and certification program. We didn't have one before. You could be Bob's bait shop one day and sell Informatica the next. And that's not what we wanted. We want skilled partners that know our technology that can drive successful customer implementations and adoption around it. And the ones that get behind you guys too, you want a reward as well. Exactly. So we've implemented a new authorization program and we're providing the enablement partners need to be successful with our products. And it also drives trust of the customer and then trust of our sales team. Because now we're comp-neutral with our sales team and they're using the partners as an extension of the sales team to penetrate the market and cover their territory. I always say to my kid, my daughter plays soccer. I always say to my daughter, oh, it's soccer. It's just easy. That is not that easy. So I always say to Peter. So it's a football fan. So I say to Peter all the time, oh, the channel business is so easy. Just make the product really good and make a lot of cash for the partner. Things will just balance themselves out. Again, not that easy. Sounds easy on paper, make a great product, make it insented and then make them make profitability. It's really what channel partners love, right? I mean, so it sounds easy, but how do you guys get there? Well, one thing we've put a lot of investment obviously here is around marketing. So there was no concept at Informatica of a ready to execute marketing campaign that a partner could run. Now we have those. And so we're actually helping partners with their own digital transformation to go to market with Informatica. But getting the Informatica name out is going to make customers more excited about Informatica and bias, potentially biased people towards Informatica, relative to all the different options they're going to have in the cloud, which is only going to make partners more excited about Informatica. They can wrap services around it so they can get more cash on the product sales. They can add 100% gross profit services. That's great services opportunity. It raises a really, really interesting, at least to me anyway, a really interesting question. And that is as your partners move, not only licensed software, but also cloud instances, either in subscription or pay-as-you-go kinds of notions. Your partners are also going to find that their customers have a much more complex arrangement of implementations. So your partners might be some of your best customers for Informatica technology. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, we have a partner now, actually, that we're selling to, to transform their own environment. And I believe there's going to be more and more examples of that, just as you said. Yeah, and once they get invested in it for their own business, it makes it a lot easier for them to sell to other people's businesses. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. All right, final question. What's your day one, we've got tomorrow, you were at the analyst show yesterday, guys. Quick summary, what's the vibe so far? Obviously Informatica, well-positioned. Yeah. What's your take on the show so far? I was in the analyst briefing yesterday, and I met with a number of analysts. And coming from IBM, I've never seen this level of excitement around what we're introducing in the way of the brand and messaging, how we're transforming the channel business and involving partners. I mean, you see all the partners that are involved in this show, and they're extremely excited. The analysts just seem to be finding new ways that we are leveraging our technology to make customers successful. I mean, we talked about, when I met with analysts, I talked about a number of partner and customer success stories, and those use cases were just very eye-opening for the analysts, and it really seems like we've got even more of a buzz than we've had with the analysts because of what we announced. Partner event coming on the horizon. You always have the partner kickoff. I know that was in January, was it, I think? Right, yeah, we made partners a part of our sales kickoff, just like they were part of our sales team, and we had a record number of partners at sales kickoff. We've got, in July, our partner elevate event coming up in Frankfurt for all our Europe partners, and right now, our registrations are at a level where we're now trying to figure out if we have a big enough venue. You got to turn partners away. They're so busy, they got to turn people away. Yeah, well, we did at sales kickoff. We had to turn some partners away because we went over capacity. You need a cube there. Right, yeah, exactly. You need more partners to participate. Bigger boat, as they say. Exactly, but no, it's very, very exciting. The partners are excited. There's a lot of market opportunity for the partners and with our new channel program and what we're doing around skills and enablement and all the marketing. It's a fantastic opportunity for us. Well, yes, you know, we've been chroniclizing the vision and the journey of the new informatica. It's been great to see, and again, channel strategy. Have a great product, enable them with incentives. Some air cover and make them some cash and help serve customers. Yeah, we want to make it a win-win for our partners and informatica. Not all of them are greedy, but at the end of the day, performance and profitability. Yeah, they're in the business. That's in it for me, I'm a partner. What are you going to do for me? Hey, they're scared about their own customer transitions. Right. This can help. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks so much, Roddy, for sharing the insight. Thank you very much. Season veteran in the channel ecosystem business. It's the cube bringing you all the action here in San Francisco for Informatica World 2017. I'm John Furrier, Peter Barris. Stay with us more after this short break.


Technology does not solve social or political problems because it doesn't understand them. These are emotions, right? These are about trust, these are about humanity. Technology doesn't know what to do with this. I mean technology, even the most advanced technology is binary, right? Yes, no, yes, no. If this, then that, input, output, right? That's not how humans work. In fact, you could say the technology has made social political problems worse. Amplified them.


Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's case breaks.com coming at you with 2021-22 Panini Elite basketball six-box half case picker team number 12 This is the second half of the case that we popped open yesterday all card ship and we're finally Getting into a lot of this current draft class So it's good to see some new names after collecting a lot of last year's class 222 222 big. Thanks to everybody here for making this happen We got Corey with double last bot mojo jazz and Washington wizards They they say that 70% of the time last bot mojo hits a 100% of time. I think that's how the math works People who don't win the slam dunk contest should get slapped by John Howard Mike tower saying we're just talking just before we start This video, how do we fix that slam dunk contest? I think the first problem is is like some of the premier dunkers. I think in the league You're not seeing some of the bigger names do it So I like for you like John Moran. I would have loved to see John Moran in the slam dunk contest other issue seem to be in the announcers mentioned this is that maybe maybe these dunkers these days are more or more in-game dunkers as opposed to just Highlight real dunkers. I don't know So and nowadays I think just dunking isn't enough for the people. I think there has to be some sort of Narrative some sort of costume or some sort of theme kind of like the way NHL like shootout contest or ever kind of has that sort of flavor to it You know, maybe more props maybe more Maybe more guest appearances something that'll something good for the gram. You know what I mean Oliver's thinking they should have five dunkers to try to dunk on five shot blockers. That would be kind of fun to see Unless these dunkers are scared of being posterized, but maybe that's the risk Or the shop lockers that is maybe shop lockers don't want to be part of that That production or they could probably just you know, yeah, it takes too darn long too. Yeah We'll breathe through these base cards here rookie cards are numbered I don't think there's any non numbered rookie cards. Here's Keon Johnson die cut to 45 They may just have to just switch the order on the broadcast You know, maybe close with the three-point contest which Which seems exciting. Can you imagine if they ended with Carl Anthony Towns? Setting a record for the three-point contest Big man shooting like that. That would have been a nice way to end the Saturday night Yeah, maybe we need more like WWE style riders to help script some some of these dunks So that might be the next level right here It's Chumo Kiki to 99 The Keon Johnson goes to the Clippers that'll be for Corey and the Chumo Kiki goes to Orlando That'll be for Danny and our autograph is Impact impressions. That's Rod Strickland Corey with the Wizards last spot mojo strikes again Maybe a three player breakaway two players on the wing one in the middle a certain number of passes before they can dunk Could be interesting.  It seems like practice I don't know I do kind of like the idea of like WWE riders like coming in and just making this big production out of it Maybe let players use like um Like trampolines and is there a fear of injury at that point There's scottie barns nice to 999 It's having a strong season Raptors chris butler with toronto It's anthony edwards to 49 Yeah, like what if anthony edwards and like ja marant were in the dumb contest? Yeah, I think that's one of the problems too jay. They jay saying maybe they don't need to change it They just need need the bigger names to participate but i mean i think It's voluntary, right? I mean you can't you can't force ja marant to do it Can't force anthony edwards to do it Oh, yeah, that was only one auto, right? Did I miss an auto?  I don't think I missed an auto boom Maybe a bonus auto somewhere here in this case or an extra auto somewhere in this case box two Yeah I wonder if maybe like the dumb contest. What if you just made it an amateur event? right like Get get some people from from the uh from from famous basketball parks around the country like in la and chicago new york You know philadelphia you know bring Bring guys from the streets What's just an amateur event like a big prize at the end or something like that Cash prize or an invitation to a g-league team g-league tryout And yeah, or yeah, try to try to work the pros in some sort of pro-am system That could be interesting Here's trey man to 999 That's for okc. That'll be for shon medic Jay's Jay's had enough watching hockey needs basketball back And we got to wait a couple days Basketball's back on thursday jaren jackson jr. Yeah, I'm watching the golf channel right now That's what it's come to for me. There's not even like winter olympics for background There's impact impressions Desmond mason old supersonic Goes to the okc shon medic That's right. No at the end of the all-star game They were yelling cleveland. This is for you The famous the famous lebron shout out For cleveland Yeah, worse. Yeah worse sports week of the years this week all over saying And you know at least if baseball had their act together at least we would be able to talk about some early spring training stuff that would have been That would have been at least interesting, but there's jason preston clippers quarry No, we don't even have that There is star status chris paul to 99 The sons are gonna miss him for almost two months For phoenix, that'll be for quarry chad. Da. What's up when the sonics come back? Will old sonics players go back to them or still the okc? My guess Is that all the uh all those rookies and stuff like or all those records? We'll probably go back to seattle 35 out of 99 john collins And our autograph is rookie yearbook james bownight I don't I don't know if have you seen shon camp lately mike singing bring back retired players to dunk All right, so now we've got the two autographs there the old school guy and then james bownight for the uh hornets Which will go to brian wofford Yeah, I think so Well, are you are you talking about the hot in terms of the hobby? Yeah, in terms of the hobby if there was an old Right, so if the seattle super sonics come back correct Kd would go to the seattle super sonics. That's right. I forgot like his first year was as a super sonic And then I think for for for league for for non-hobby purposes. I think for league purposes. I would imagine I would imagine that all the records all the sonics records will Will go back to the sonics I'm sure they'll make that agreement Steve you're welcome. Yeah, I mean, I think everyone was hoping that trevor lorence ends up being You know, I think they got a good, uh, doug peterson is there now, right? So I think doug peterson is a pretty solid coach. I think he'll Should be able to whip that organization into shape jacksonville you know and I think I would I would consider this upcoming year You know, I would consider this, uh, this is trevor lorence's true rookie year You know with urban mire. I mean, I don't know how much progress he really made. I guess it's Got good experience. Good a year of just nfl experience under his belt, but Now this is this is rookie here. Let's see what he can do And there's uzman garuba rookie card 946 added 999 Maybe cut the flow. You think the the hair slowing him down a little bit. That's like his signature, though I think he's he's won national championship for that hair, right? I mean, he's on subway commercials with that flow That show flow There's westbrook To 99 maybe maybe just maybe a week off from basketball will help westbrook Maybe for my Lakers, I hope chris bottler with the die cut You know Maybe just a little break will help everybody Kind of recharge sometimes Day off to helps from work. There's ricky pierce impact impressions old buck ricky pierce Going to danie and milwaukee I think what's encouraging going back to trevor lorence really quick Um Is that he should have travis st. Etienne travis etienne bad not saying it's travis st. Etienne travis etienne back Um, it was a pretty dynamic playmaker and an old teammate of his and we saw What the old teammate connection can do Right joe burrow with jamar chase Even tua with waddle You know So we'll finally we'll finally see trevor lorence with travis etienne. That could be exciting An exciting pairing There's brandon boston jr to 999 out of 99 jared culver I wouldn't say a nice ball. Jay west. He's not been playing nice ball He's had some moments, but Still needs a lot of work to do josh giddy This is a great name here josh giddy for shon maddock and the okc thunder Very nice rookie yearbook autograph Yeah, he's talking about westbrook oliver Mike tower is asking if a If a good slash great player doesn't make it Is it ever the team's fault or would it always be the player's responsibility? Hmm It depends, right? I feel like sometimes A potentially great player will will will flame out just because they You know, maybe poor work ethic Now how much of it is it is it's team's responsibility to To build work ethic I suppose you can make that argument But but there are times where There has to be times where a team could fail a player, right? You know you could you could fail a player by not putting Not constructing a good roster around a potential future star. That's possible too I feel like this happens with quarterbacks a lot in football or if you're if you're A top pick obviously you had a bad season the year before And so these these potentially good quarterbacks are going to Generally the worst teams on the market So if that team doesn't that team doesn't put a good team together, you know Then you're you often Waste what could what could have been a great player like we'll never know especially with football just because There's so many moving parts in football There's brinforbes in 99 So you really you truly do need a team Basketball a little bit easier. I think just because smaller rosters only five guys on the court You know, there could be one or two impact players that can just completely change your franchise that can turn it around Right the line's failing sanders megatron, etc That's a good example. There's herbert jones I know He he did say that out loud That's how you know he's a true fan Yeah, the um, they were playing. Yeah, oliver's got it. They're playing the elam ending Which is actually really interesting especially for these exhibition games. I really I really like it I think that was a good introduction to the exhibition game Because so they play to a set amount of points That makes the end of the game exciting. You actually start seeing some defense There's tj mcconnell impact impression autograph for leo and the pacers There's john and kaminga 485 out of 9 99 That'll be for the warriors olefanzo and we got trey man 48 uh, no 40 out of 49 on card autograph pen pals auto for shon maddock and the okc thunder Now oliver had a question or had a comment earlier Anyone think damien lilor should not be in the top 75 greatest players of all time Yeah, i'm not true. Well, I don't like these Um In general, I kind of don't don't like these uh These like top 75 sort of stuff because I don't know who's coming up with this What's what's what's the criteria? you know like You know because like wasn't like Didn't the nfl network do like a top 100 players or something like that and like I don't know. I feel like they missed like A couple big-name players like antonio gates or Lydian tomsen or something like that wasn't like in the top 100 I don't know those lists get Those lists can get a little weird you know, and then I think there was like some Some like pseudo controversy or mostly just twitter controversy about like Like oh should coey brian should have been higher and blah blah blah. I mean So those those lists in general, I think Are a little silly. I think the I like I think I like all like decade teams better because I think I think that just kind of That kind of frames the era a little bit more nicely So the framing is a little bit better better there, but I don't know all all these all these lists seemed Seem to be a little silly I don't put too much stock into it Is a jackson for the pacer 16 out of 9 99 Leo with indiana and we got tom googliota for the phoenix suns impact impressions Yeah, that's basically what it is. Let's give him to something to talk about right kind of a little A little clickbaity When they do those lists, uh suns corey with phoenix All of her things to white howard was the biggest snub. I may be in the minority to compare Lillertower on the magic Or many in the top 75 Yeah I feel like Dwight howard doesn't sometimes doesn't get the respect that he he should get Considering especially during the mat just the the magic years alone How good he was There's a westbrook to 99 For the lakers. It'll be chris butler And we got keon johnson To 999 rookie card for the clippers corey. It's chris paul spellbound Theomalon orange and we've got another thunder Jeremiah robinson earl rookie otter for shon maddox All right, and yeah, and who's who's voting for these? Or who's organizing this these lists oliver? Like I don't even know how these lists are created. You know, is it is it just a Popularity contest You know, or is it just I mean, I really don't know The same is the same guys who vote for the hall of fame Jazzy jay saying I'll put uh, I'll just put more stock into some of you know people who are in the hall of fame I don't I don't need a I don't need a rank and Yeah, we're the next building over the sports car shop, right? I Food delivery driver got a little turn around here out of 99 de andre hunter You can just leave it on the counter. Thank you I don't know if some of you have encountered this but On your food delivery app And I talked to a couple drivers and they say it's an issue that The the map that they give you Sometimes puts you in the wrong spot so for the shop And there's a bones highland orange to two something to 10 So for my shop Here they they have them go to this parking lot over there Which doesn't connect to our parking lot. So And then they don't read sometimes they don't read the note that I wrote in the directions Anyway, apparently it's an issue though. There's map issues all the time They don't take them to the exact length of the correct location There's impact impressions herald miner Miami heat terry Yeah, baseball holofame is a little weird too. That may that may need some reconfiguring Do all sports include character in holofame voting? Was that just baseball? It sounds like just baseball When did the mlb holofame start?

Who is the Antichrist spoken of in 1 John 2.18? Dear children, the last hour is here, and you have heard that the Antichrist is coming. And already many such Antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. He is also referred to as the man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2 and as the first beast from the sea in Revelation 13. He will be narcissistic and even claimed to be God. He'll personify all that is Antichrist and will deceive many. Ultimately, however, he'll be easily defeated by God. Tell me in the comments who do you think this could be and what other clues does the Bible give about the Antichrist that I didn't mention here?


I give you the microphone, no, no. Okay, I'm Franklin from Taiwan. Recently, recent years, we have a huge progress about adopting ODF and also liberal office in Taiwan. But because this is not the topic of today's talk, so if you are interested in Taiwan's story, just a few days before the join-up, the OSOR, they had this case study of Taiwanese government, how to do that and what we have done and what's our thoughts. So I recommend you to read this one about what we have done in Taiwan.  Another problem we need to solve during this year, we find another problem. Because what we have done so far is about crime. That means users use liberal office or use our derivatives from liberal office to generate ODF files and attach it in the mail of your document. But there is still another problem is here. Usually, it will be from the server because always we have many servers, many servers that need to generate reports. And this is the current flow. If an agency user needs to generate report from the server and send it to another unit, they will say, oh, I wanted this and that report and send this request to who, to see said the mean. He managed the servers, but the user does not generate the report himself. He requires the system, the mean to have which management servers because most of the databases are here. So they will need to generate here. And each server needs a module, a dedicated module to generate this report. That's because of license issue. And then later, I'll tell you what kind of report it generates and what is the module in the next page, okay? Almost all, maybe not all, but almost all of the module that will need to be integrated into the information system is this. It's called the CRISPR report. I don't know if any of you know this. It will just get some input and generate a report to you. But this CRISPR report, if we see what file format it is put, we'll find out no ODF. So now our people, users in our agency face a problem because our service does not generate ODF format report, but they are asked to send reports and any attachments in ODF. So can I directly convert it? Mostly it will be saved as Microsoft format. Maybe DOC, maybe DOCX, maybe XLS. But if we directly open it in LibreOffice, that would be like this. I can directly left them to you. This file is a typical, typical CRISPR report generated report. And if we directly open it, you can see that the file extension is DOC, right? But if we open it with LibreOffice, it will become like this. Here is the content, but you will see a lot of strange comments. Here, here, a lot. And something is wrong, anything. And if you really see what it is, you'll find out that actually it is HTML. So that means the CRISPR report generates files in HTML but named it in DOC or in XLS. And amazingly, that Microsoft Word and Excel can open it correctly. But in LibreOffice, we have problem. It's not easy to directly convert such kind of DOC or XLS to ODT or DS. So this is the screenshot. Okay, actually it is in HTML file. Besides this converting problem, there are also other annoying problem like this. First, you can see that almost all the server needs one module installed here. But we have many public agencies, different counties, cities, so many different units, they may use different version of CRISPR report and they may generate different version of format. Okay, that's one of the problem. It's difficult to integrate with each other because it has no standard. The second is that each single server needs to install one CRISPR report, okay. It's because of license issue. So if we have 10 servers managed to generate reports, we need to have 10 modules integrated into those. They may be, maybe there are different servers, different service on those servers, but each one we need to integrate once. Okay, so it's also difficult to manage so many different servers or difficult to integrate them together. So, okay, then some developers in the government will say, okay, if so, let us generate ODF directly. So they will do that this way. They will create a standard ODF like ODT and put everything inside. But then what they need to do, when they need to generate report, they need to extract this ODT and find the content they want to replace in many XML tags. And then replace it, pack it back. What if they all the fields changes? So all this work needs to do again. So it's also a pain for those systems and the means to directly generate ODF report because it should be multiple data, a dynamic data, but they can only generate one template but they need to replace the data with inside the XML tag and then pack back. So, for last year, our National Development Council, that's the main unit that's responsible for promote ODF and make it the nation's policy. So they ask our local developers, company name OSSI, they do the service from open office to developer office, it's more than 10 years. So we all are together to work together to promote ODF in Taiwan. So they ask them to develop, this will be called NDC ODAPI service. Okay, now let me show you. It's the steps to generate report is very simple. The first one is to build a server. I will show you step by step and the life demo to you later. Okay, we just need to create a server first and create a report template. The second step, I will tell you it will be done by the user, not C-set. And the upload to this server and get a address for API, then what the server needs to do is only to send a URI, calling the server's API to generate with data and the report will be generated. Okay, the first is, we can see, create a server, we have put it on GitHub. So you can find it in the GitHub, if I NDC ODF and the, here's API service. Okay. Then we have a demo server here. This one is the demo server built on our NDC office, the machine room. Okay, so this is a demo, of course, it has to log in, you can have different account than the credentials. So let's let me log in again. Okay, this is the first, we have already built a service. Then the second, the second step is to create a report. Now I will, the directory demo. This one is a LibreOffice derivations. It is custom by LibreOffice 5.2.7 and this NDC ODF application tool. It's the target of this is very simple because many users in the public agencies, they have no idea which version of LibreOffice they want to use. And then they have no idea what is free software. So we just tell them, if you, now you need to generate ODF files, you just use this. And in 2017, the ODF process, I also tested that. Okay, so this is currently in government, this is the most use of this. Okay, and we have a tool, this is a wizard to generate the templates. So it's simple to generate it. Okay, let's start demo report templates and always remember to use the style. Then here we put many fields, data fields inside it. The field, the name of the field can be in Chinese. And here are the different kind of fields. Okay, then we have a few here. And because this template is created by users, but they need to let the thing know what it is. So sometimes we will add some comments here. Okay, and then let's put a date here. Then we put a table. Okay, we put field name here, sorry. Also we have the checkbox. Okay, so if it is, we can say if this report is credential or not, okay. Then this is a demo template, but sometimes we need some fields we need to be repeated. So we choose this field and put here, this is repeatable. Okay, then the simple template is generated. We save it as, no, okay. Us, OTT, text template, demo report template. Okay. After saving it, we can close that. And then back to this system, I just need to upload. I just need to upload this demo report for first name. And this is the category, in the government there may be many different category of reports, right? Then we upload it, OTT file. After uploading it, here, it's here. And you can see this is a JSON format example. This is YAM format example. And if we click this, you can see this. This is the API URL. So just copy that. And here are the demo, the example format of JSON and YAML. So we copy it. Now we upload and then we use slugger.io to simulate the server-side behavior. It's here. In this, the API we just generated, it follows a spec named open API spec. I'm not sure if it's version two or version three, but we follow that spec. Okay. And now this one is to simulate. Okay. The one we just copied, the URL we just copied, right? And then now we want to get API. It's pro. Then we can find, we have some method, get or post. The post is you can post the data with JSON format. So here we set it to JSON and then now we can try. This is the report generator. And this is the generator day. And the credential or not, maybe false. Okay. Here are the username, city, sorry. And this is phone number. And then we can have repeatable data, right? Here is repeatable. So we can copy that and generate the second and the third. Okay. We say ODF rocks. Okay. This is also, okay. And the third one is the graph is rocks two. Okay. It's in, okay. So we edit the data and then we execute it. That means we just sent this post request. Execute it. Then you can see this. This is exactly what he sent, what the service I sent. Okay. And, oh, JSON data error, sorry, wait. JSON data error. Oh, here. Okay. The call is, okay, look at the call. And the URL is here. And we can try, download it. This time we download it as ODT because it's generated report. So here is the generated report. Just it. So we just, because we have the URL here. So actually from the server side, what you need to do is only in the, when you need to generate report, you just need to send this out. Let us save it as another ODT file. We'll just use command line to send it out. And then it can be generated too. That's it. Okay, so let's get back here. So, and it really is done. It's very simple. And the most important, the flow now becomes like this. When the users, the unit in the government needs to generate ODF reports, the first thing is that they can generate template themselves because only them knows what they want, right? And with the help of our template visa, and they can put fields here and there. And then if, then after generate the templates, it just upload the template to the ODF API server. Just like what you see here, here, right? And it will generate the API that you need to call. Okay? And it will generate the API. Who needs to know the API? Only the citizen needs to know. And now this time, they don't need to install any other module in their servers. All they want is just to send a URL. You see, see URL or double get to send a post of data. So, he just called API and fill the data, and it will generate the ODF file that you can really send to the user. It's true standard ODF files. Okay? So the whole, the whole flow become very simple and they don't need to worry about we need to install so many modules. Okay? So, the advantage is very obvious. The first thing, of course, the server setters that need to rewrite the whole file report generating module. Now, it's use quiz for report and only generate HTML file with DOC extension. But then, now they don't need to rewrite anything. They just need to call the API. And actually, for the server setters not matter which programming language they use to create this server. Sometimes they will say, I will have the module but I'm written in Ruby but this server is written in C++. I don't know how to integrate them together. No, this time because we are only just require HTTP. So it does not matter how to generate the server, the original server. And, okay, also the server does not need to maintain or generate, upgrade the tools. And if any of the templates needs to update, you have new, you need to change some fields. You just need to, here is the modify and you just need to upload it again. And it will create a new API and you just call with new API, that's all. So no one would need to worry about the file, the data fields or the layout changes. It's just created by user and the teller. And I mean, I update these templates. Okay, they just need to replace the URL. So everything will be defined in the report templates which really use this report, okay? So I think this one is very important tool, especially for adopting ODF in government. Because actually, report generation is an important part in the government. And right now, they are still all in a non-standard Microsoft file format. And this tool will be online this year and the code is here. We have open source it, so everyone can build your own server in the tribe and of course, purchase our work home. Okay, that's my demo. So, okay, if anyone have question, but please speak slowly, okay? So, do we have any question? Yeah, of course. The dream of me is in Chinese but I think it's easy for you to understand that. So far. Yeah, but of course, maybe because we are, we do it for Taiwanese government, but of course, we can try to make it international. And then maybe it's everyone who is interested in it can have to send patches. Yeah, of course. No question then, thank you.


What happened? Alex did you hit the stumps and the keeper with the gloves on he's like I hit him the bells didn't move. I hit him Yeah, I told you I hit it Nothing happened. So here's what happened the ball comes in the batsman. His name is Shafiki Is that you say it?  They want to get him out He just blocks that one it goes right to Marnus who's gonna no look backhand it to the keeper Kerry as he's going Alex Right to him batter doesn't see that they've done that now the keeper is gonna wait till he picks his foot up Because he has to be behind that white line But he has to be touching the ground if he's like in the air Even if he was to get scared of the ball and jump and they hit the wickets he'd be out You got to be grounded So he's waiting waiting gently and then he hits the wood and maybe there's like Some inner conscious to Alex Kerry here the quick keeper because he had the controversial stumping of Bear Stone He's like I don't know man or or it's like hey if we're gonna sneakily get you out I'll sneakily touch the wood, but nothing happens. They're like, what are you doing? You didn't touch them hard enough and actually like that you can hear the stump mics and you can hear all the everything they're saying The no look passes great Marnus is great hands I've done a lot of videos on him and then look at this and I think even if it went to review Which it didn't they're like well, it's not review that but if you split screen it up I think he actually gets his foot down before he really flicks the stump I don't know if they look at reviews this closely watch the foot's kind of in the air there I don't even know if it looks like it is in the air because You're gonna see it come down and he still hasn't hit the wood and now I think the foot just came down So let's go back a little bit. I Think the foot comes down right there where you can see his toes kind of you know The rest of the foot moves his toes don't and he hasn't hit the wood yet hits the wood there And he just very gently touches it now There's these bales on top of the stumps and they have to get disturbed and move for it to be out You can't just hit the stumps So he could have just taken it and whacked the stumps and got him out But maybe there's like, you know some interconscious everything I don't want another controversy on my hands after the ashes or he's just trying to be sneaky and like gentlemanly or it's just Like a gentle reminder. Hey, we're gonna do this.  Anyway two overs later Lion gets his man the correct way right to Warner who makes the catch and let me see Let me see. He's a right-hander and that's a leg break. I think in cricket. They they they name the pitches designed on Where they Start and in baseballs where they end up like we say back foot slider and they would call that like an outside slider I don't know. I always get tripped up on this because it's it's different in baseball in cricket From the point of view of breaking pitches. So that pitch from line.  Yeah, that's it. We say it from the pitcher They said better goes that way he's trying to hit that the mid-wicket misses edges Warner takes to catch Look at the spin boom hits the ground goes even more got past him a little bit didn't get in the middle. He's out No trickery about that besides the trickery in the pitch which spun a trickier way than he thought it was gonna spin The end of this video really suffered and thanks to DraftKings for sponsoring the video. I appreciate them I appreciate you guys for watching appreciate people that don't even Understand cricket and watch this you guys are the best
