Hello and welcome to Prophecy Files Briefing. We're glad that you've joined us today. Over the past several weeks, you've been hearing some recorded messages concerning anti-Semitism. And I trust that you're continuing to pray for the nation of Israel, the leadership there, and all that is taking place. It's a tragic war that is taking place and the atrocities are coming out day by day. It's a horrible thing. And we need to continue to pray that there would be direction and guidance, not only for the state of Israel, but for the United States and our relationship with the nation of Israel. So I encourage you to do that. But today, I want to make a quick transition as we're moving into, obviously, already or there with Christmas that's taking place. And once again, as it has been for several years, the attack upon Christmas is quite evident. Right now, this article states that the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, faces criticism after dropping the Christian term BC and AD from teaching material for 7 to 11 year olds. The article states that they've dropped this, the BC and AD as we know as the guide of calendar that's been based in the Christianity's roots for decades, of course. And it's important for us to understand how and what's been taking place here. In this, they've been using video teaching from the BBC that has transferred it to the secular equivalent, as they call it, before Common Era BCE and Common Era CE instead of BC and AD. The critics, they said in this article last night, said the decision to abandon BC, which stands for Before Christ and AD, which comes from the Latin term anodomini, meaning in the year of our Lord is an attempt to undermine the traditional Christian and British values that they say. In this article it says throughout history, we've used BC and AD, but now they're using BCE, Before Common Era and CE, Common Era, for these dates. Now, what is the significance in this article? It also states that an emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent said that the terms BC and AD do not merely possess religious connotations, but also a cultural connotation. So what's happening here is that they're trying with every effort. There always has been the effort to wipe Jesus off of the map. That's exactly what was going on even during the days of Jesus coming to this earth, born in a little lowly stable in Bethlehem. And ladies and gentlemen, we see this happening every year where there is the little bit by little bit of moving Jesus and Christ out of Christmas. I'm going to tell you the only reason why it's Merry Christmas is because Jesus came. This article concludes that both AD and BC and BE and BCE are widely accepted date systems and the decision on which term to use lies with the individual production and editorial terms according to the BBC. Now, this is so important for us because as we see the neutralizing and cancel culture as it's been in recent years, it's tried to do away with Christ. It's not a small thing that's happening even though it's happening on a very subtle day-by-day effect. According to portions of this article some people obviously want to remove Jesus completely off of the scene. And by doing that and establishing some kind of secular mindset to take Christ out of Christmas literally affects the calendar that we go by day by day. This is the facts that Christmas actually hinges on this particular note and this article that we're talking about for BC and AD. When the Son of God came and born of a virgin Mary in Bethlehem the Bible literally lets us know that it is at that moment that things begin to change as Jesus came to this earth born fully God and fully man to the virgin womb of Mary and time, the calendar, everything changed. The same thing happens for us whenever we come to Jesus Christ and we know Him as Savior and Lord, everything changes. In fact some people have described the BC was BC before Christ, before I knew Christ. Well that's very true ladies and gentlemen because Jesus does make a change inside of our lives when He comes. Christmas changed everything. It changed our calendar, changed the effect of what was happening in our world. Fear was driven out because perfect love in Jesus Christ came to this earth. I want to share with you two passages of Scripture and this is very prophetic because the Bible says in Psalm 139, listen to this passage of Scripture, you saw me before I was born, scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book how precious it is Lord to realize that you're thinking about me constantly. I can't even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And so it was in the book of Micah, the prophecy of the first coming of Jesus came in Micah 5 and 2. But you Bethlehem, you Freyda, though you're small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel. Listen carefully to this whose origins are from old, from ancient times. This term origins from of old is literally saying to us that the birthplace of the king there in Bethlehem was not just the birth of the king, but Jesus Christ the Word was there as the everlasting Word from the beginning and even to the end of time and beyond all ages. He is from eternity to eternity everlasting to everlasting. Thou art God the Bible says. So the truth is, Jesus loved you before you even knew who you were, before your parents met, before your parents' parents met, before Columbus came from Spain, before Bethlehem, before Adam and Eve drew their first breath. These are prophetic significant times we're living in and the second happens at the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. It is prophetic for us. Not only that, but he came the first time and people ignored him and even to this day they're doing their best to ignore him. But I want you to be back with me next week because we're going to talk about not only the first coming, but the second coming which ladies and gentlemen will be a time changer again. And until then, remember Jesus Christ is coming soon.


Hello, everyone. So this talk won't be quite like other talks you might have seen around. It's going to be very demo heavy. And it's on 3D web visualization. So congratulations, those of you who made it, this is one of DEF CON's unofficial scavenger hunts finding that isn't listed. So if you're in the audience, you're a winner. And if you're not in the audience and you're watching it on video, well, better luck next time. All right. So I'm Alejandro Casares. Call me Alex. I'm the owner of Hyperion Gray. I'm the back end developer for the tool that you're about to see. I'm interested in applying distributed computing as it relates to breaking things and finding vulnerabilities in things. So you're going to see a lot of that throughout the talk. It's kind of a theme of mine, if you will. Originally a web app pen tested by trade started focusing on software development after that. So I hope you like the tool. And my name is Teal Rogers. I am a maker and an interface developer specializing in 3D. We're actually a little bit ahead of time. So this is a, it's a 3D visualization of the web. Which is, so, they're not on the screen. Well, let's see about that. There we go. No, it's not really a big deal. We actually just have one slide and then we just get into the demo. Yeah, yeah. If you want to read about the problem we're solving. Yeah, it should be okay. All right. So once again, congratulations. Those are the of you who made it. And we're just going to jump right into it. Show you the program and take you around it a little bit. So this environment is, you know what I can do, if it cuts off the edge a little bit, I can move this over. Does that look good? Yeah, a little bit more. All right. So this is basically our application. It is a, it's a 3D environment. And what you see here is domains. Domains are represented in as globes with, you know, graphics and stuff. And when a domain spawns, there is smaller balls which represent pages. So this is not attempting to reproduce a web browser or anything like that. It is giving metadata for the internet. A sort of a view that no one else is doing. There's things that you can see from this organization that you can't see anywhere else except by like really digging into your HTML, digging into what your code is, doing vulnerability scans using scanning software which frankly most people don't do. So we wanted to make it easy to do that. And this is what this is designed to do. Yeah. And right now what you're seeing, all this is running in a test environment of ours. We have about 15 to 20 websites. Some of those websites have various vulnerabilities in them. Some of them have misconfigurations. Some of them just have really messed up configurations, just little things that make it an odd site. So along with that we do have a few production websites so we'll point those out when we go to them. If you're checking them out on your smart phone, you can see, you can see those. Things like hypergraingrade.com, trinerysoftware.com. So some of them are internet facing and some of them are not. So the first site we wanted to show you was DC graphics. And I'll just show you real quick in the web browser. It's a very small site. It's basically a joke site, really. It's two posts on WordPress. And I'll just give it a second here to reconnect. See the connection is right there. So it's a very small site in our environment. We do a crawl in advance and it maps all the links. So you can see a line from one page to another page is a link. And they're all directional because links are directional. So the skinny end is where it's pointing to, the fat end. It's kind of like an arrow. So this is a typical sort of WordPress site if it's very small. Larger WordPress sites tend to have a core and then an outer core. This one just has an inner core because it's too small to have two cores. So you see the cores is these sites here. And on the outside you see some feed sites which that's what WordPress does. It creates feed sites. Yeah, so on the back end the crawler is running continuously to keep everything updated. So the goal is to give you a continuously updated view of the websites that you're seeing. Right now you're actually just seeing a snapshot in time. But the way that it's built on the back end is it's a Hadoop based web crawler slash vulnerability scanner. So we can keep track of a ton of websites over a short period of time. And the more websites we keep track of, all we basically have to do is scale up cluster which is really, really easy. And that will shorten our crawling times and collection of metadata and all that stuff. So you might recognize that as somewhat similar to the Google model, how they're collecting metadata and collecting websites. And actually the back end is an open source implementation of exactly how Google is doing it. So here's another site. It's Boonville Lib. It's another joke site really. It will spawn in a second here. It's also written in WordPress. It's just a little bit bigger. It's got a few more posts. And in a little bit here you'll notice something strange which is why we're focusing on this one at the moment. It has this link that will appear to a domain called one dot gravatar dot com. And I made this site. And I don't know what one dot gravatar dot com is. I haven't dug through the source code. The only way I know that it's there is through this API. See there it is. See, we don't actually crawl one dot gravatar dot com. That's why it looks like a distortion. But one of the advantages of seeing the metadata of the internet, the internet is under belly, is you get to see that there's these weird links all over the place that you didn't even know were there. Even if you made the site you didn't know they were there. By the way, does anybody know what one dot gravatar dot com is by chance? You want to go to it? It's a picture site. All right. So we needed a 3D map and a dude in the audience to tell us what that was. That's cool. Yeah. Awesome. So next up Teal is going to show us punkspider dot hyperion gray dot com. This is an example of a live production site that's out there. Has anybody heard of the punk spider project by chance? No? Nobody? That guy? No, he was just fidgeting a little. Yeah, my girlfriend? Yeah. So this is punk spider. It's a distributed vulnerability search engine which was kind of a precursor to web 3.0. It's not in 3D. It's not quite this fancy. But it does use on the back end a distributed vulnerability scanner that I wrote that gives you back vulnerabilities on websites. Much like web 3.0 does. Which we'll get into a little bit later. But on the back end web 3.0 is a little bit fancier than punk spider is. It kind of froze up here a little bit. This is a production platform. Not that one. And we're still tracking down all the stuff. It's really easy to restart it. Yeah. It's a prototype. Sorry to interrupt you. No, you're fine. Thank you. So I was saying about punk spider. No, I was saying about web 3.0. So on the back end we're using a distributed H base back end. So you already might notice the theme here, right? Everything that I write on the back end is completely distributed. So what that means if you're not familiar with H base is it's a huge key value store that runs on a Hadoop cluster. So the more keys and values you have, the more you can just scale up your cluster by adding a machine, which again is really easy, takes about a minute to add a machine and makes it infinitely scalable. So the more data we have, just have to scale up our cluster since actually most of the stuff is in the cloud, that really just takes like 30 seconds to a minute. So if you notice sometimes domains disappear, sometimes they reappear, that this is controlled by interest. Whatever domain you have focused in the center of the view is the domain you're interested in. And it's a value that the interface keeps track of just to keep the screen less cluttered. And so as domains lose interest, as you're not focused on them, they disappear from the interface and then they reappear. So here we have a vulnerable domain. That's why it's spewing stuff. It's vulnerable to SQL injection. This particular domain we made on purpose to be vulnerable. That's why it's called SQL I1. And this is another thing that you can't really see from just looking at HTML, from looking at your page. You can't see whether your site is vulnerable to hacks. And with our Web 3.0 visualizer, you can see an overview of whether you're linked to sites that happen to be vulnerable or whether you just find sites randomly on the internet. You want to know whether they're vulnerable or not for various reasons. And so here we have HyperionGray.com, which is Alex's site. It is... Actually, one quick note about the vulnerability scanner. Every site that goes through the system gets scanned for vulnerabilities. The base of the vulnerability scanner right now is done. It's still pretty basic. It's essentially just a little fuzzer that goes through get parameters. But of course we're expanding that and making it a much fancier vulnerability scanner. So the way it works is a little bit unique. So a web crawler, when you actually go out and crawl sites with a web crawler, you're collecting a ton of metadata on those sites. What the scanner does is it makes vulnerabilities a completely integral part of that metadata. So you essentially don't crawl unless you're looking for vulnerabilities in a site, which is pretty cool. And again, going along with my theme, this is a fully distributed vulnerability scanner. So the more nodes we have in our cluster on the back end, the faster we can scan. So that makes it really useful. Essentially we can scale this up and keep track of not only a map of the entire internet, but we can scan the entire internet for vulnerabilities, which is pretty cool. So as you can tell, Alex is all about the scanner and the vulnerability. And I'm focused on the 3D engine. So here we have the Alex's site, which is built in Drupal. And this is one of the peculiarities you can find with Drupal sites sometimes, is that you'll find this area here, which is kind of weird URLs that don't really say much, node 26, node 29. And then you'll find longer URLs, human readable URLs over here. So Drupal is creating these weird little URLs and just forwarding them to the longer ones. And this kind of creates a kite, sort of a main page over here, and then a kite in the background, which is really funny, actually. But this isn't really the view that you would see as a user of the site. You would just see this, the stuff on the right. And as a crawler though, as Google, or as, you know, even somebody collecting information for whatever purposes you might collect information for a site, you would see, you'd want to know that there's this kind of little odd structure going on here. Because, you know, information is power. Yeah, so now Thiel is going to take us to a site, bushofficial.com. So bushofficial is an example of a live production site that we actually do not own. We've just kind of sample crawled the site, so this actually isn't the entire site. It is the official site of the band Bush. Do we have any Bush fans out there? Okay. Yeah, I've never actually heard Bush, but I think they're probably a great band. Yeah, and we're sure they're lovely people. And yeah, lovely people. Yeah. So the system is able to, as I mentioned, in a very non-invasive way, check for vulnerabilities in these sites. We're doing some really respectful stuff from a network standpoint. We're respecting robots.tax even during vulnerability scanning throughout the entire thing. And we never flood the site with traffic in any way. So you'll see just a few vulnerable links pop up. These are URLs in the domain with SQL injection. They are real, but don't misuse this.  So yeah. Yeah, so you can see Bush is kind of a typical site. They love MySpace and they love Facebook back here, even though the labor. And here's Twitter. They love Twitter. And so they're showing a lot of love for social networks, which, well, that's pretty typical of a band. Twitter is, of course, a massive site, and we don't crawl it even though it kind of looks like we do. We just crawl if they happen to link to it. And over here, we find someone else who happens to link to it. Well, the distance is pretty random. You can actually take domains and just drag them around with the mouse. So you can grab Twitter and drag it over here. It's all organized dynamically based on whether it's connected to anything that happens to be shown on the screen at that time. So here we have the Defcon website, which is really quite interestingly organized. There's a core of pages here, which is the main site. And then here's a satellite page. So this isn't a full crawl of the Defcon website, or you'd see a bunch of different satellite pages also. But Defcon is one of the few sites that actually does this on purpose. Many sites do this by accident. So you can see Defcon shows a lot of love to Facebook. It shows a lot of love to Twitter. And it shows a little bit of love to Amazon, just in this one little URL, links slash booklist.html. So you can see where their priorities are. So we still have plenty of time. Actually, we probably have some time for questions in the end. I think Tilly's just going to show you www.trinariesoftware.com real quick and tell you a little bit about how you can get involved with the project. We definitely need your help. Tilly, you want to tell them a little bit about that? All right. So this is my website that I made in, like, the last week. And if you look at the structure in our Web 3.0 viewer, you see some really interesting things, actually. And you'll see that there's the structure here, which is pretty normal. But then there's this, like, weird little structure off to the side. And this is actually non www.trinariesoftware.com. So what I've done, and I haven't corrected it just so that you can show, I have accidentally, this is a purely organic mistake here, linked some of my pages to a different domain, a non www domain. And as far as, like, Google is concerned, this is, like, a big no no. And Google is kind of like the government of the internet, so to speak. And so this sort of mistake you can make will often get you Google find. And I made up that term. I'm hoping it sticks. But that isn't an actual term. But so it's a good example of why you would want to get a map of your website. Because if you just crawl manually through your own, through the web browser, examine your HTML, you're very likely to miss the fact that you stuck some of the pages in non www format. Fortunately my site doesn't have any SQL injection vulnerabilities on it. Or you'd be able to see that as well. So what we have here, what the software is, is, it's a prototype. It's under active development and there's a lot of directions that we could take this. We want our friends to get involved. And by our friends, I mean all of you guys. We want, so what we've done, what I've done is we've made this, we've made a mailing list for now. So if you're on the site on trinarysoftware.com, you can sign up for a mailing list and we're going to be offering everyone who is on the mailing list in a month or probably two months free access to the closed beta. So we're, we're, we really want you to be involved. And for contextual reasons we, we can't really offer an open beta. But we, we want to offer everyone here free access to the closed beta. Yeah. And for the back end engine, actually I'm releasing this free and open source under the Apache license so you can do whatever you want with it. I know Teal's also going to offer a free version of this when, when it does actually come out. Yeah, thanks for coming. One last note, if you're interested in offensive techniques and distributed computing, I talk, I have another talk here that's coming up at 3 p.m. at track one. So definitely catch that if that sounds like something that's interesting to you. And thanks for coming. Thanks a lot guys. We actually have about five minutes where we can take some questions. Where do you opt in for the beta? It's www.trynarysoftware.com. T-R-I-N-A-R-Y. Right on the top there. So it, it's actually very simple. It's a T-R-I-N-A-R-Y. T-R-I-N-A-R-Y. T-R-I-N-A-R-Y. Like three N-A-R-I-S. T-R-I-N-A-R-Y. T-R-I-N-A-R-Y software is technically meaningless term in almost any kind of functional sense. Unless you, unless you think of it in terms of 3D. So that's really the only way that you could take what is, you know, what is a T-R-I-N-A-R-Y software? It's a 3D software. Other questions? What? So actually it's a customized version of a crawler called Apache Nutsch. Which is where the Apache Hadoop project actually came from. It spawned from Apache Nutsch.  Yeah. I will be showing off a little bit more about the crawler and vulnerability scanner in my talk at 3 p.m. on track one. Thanks John. Anybody else? Yeah. Using a leak motion to control it? Using what kind of motion? Yeah. It could, we can use like biofeedback and leak motion and that is actually really easy to plug in and that's a direction we can take this. We're trying to figure out what directions. We want all the good suggestions like that that we can get and any kind of, you know, contributions, any kind of input that anybody can get. Feel free to email us or our emails are listed on our website. Or, you know, if you have any ideas or you have a project that this would really interrelate with, it would be very helpful. Yeah. We definitely are hoping to get a little back and forth with the community. I mean, we really want to make the community kind of an integral part of where we take this entire thing. So definitely if you have ideas or you just want to talk with us or have any additional questions, shoot us an email. Follow me on Twitter, dot slash punk on Twitter. Or come to my talk again at 3 p.m. on track one. All right. Thank you for coming. Thanks, everybody.


These 21 short videos will help you quickly see and understand the relationships and patterns among various types of irregular verbs in English so that you can use them correctly. Verbs like make This video will help you see relationships among various types of irregular verbs in English. The key to understanding irregular verbs is to look for and notice the patterns. Verbs like make With verbs like make, the vowel sounds remain the same in the past and past participle, but the final consonant sound is changed to a D. For example, make, made, made, have, had, had. Now with the verb have, it has a special form for the S form. If we don't see habs, we say has.


Thank you, Commander, for such a warm introduction. It's a great honor to be before all of you today. DAV is one of America's greatest institutions. In terms of serving those who've served, we're as iconic as any brand in our national lexicon. And in looking at brands, there are some comparisons we can make with one American brand that exceeds our longevity. By the time DAV members were driving Model T Fords to our second national convention, the concept of the Ford truck was fairly new. But to the veterans of World War I, it was something already very familiar and trusted. They were used as ambulances and transport vehicles by British and American forces in the European theater. But a newer model, the Model TT, marked an even more ambitious turn toward creating a vehicle that could change the world. It was a vehicle that could transport a newly industrialized nation and transform the lives of laborers and Americans of every stripe. The Model T's 177-inch four-cylinder could turn out a whopping 20 horsepower. For a point of comparison is, well, 20 horses. With a hammer down, that beauty could go a whopping 42 miles an hour. Got 13 miles to the gallon of the city and 21 in the country. In comparison, the Model TT had a longer wheelbase, heavier frame, and rear axle, giving it basically the rating of a one ton. It was durable and strong, but slow and plotting, topped out around 25 miles per hour. At the same time, American veterans had seen how such groundbreaking feats of mechanized strength could enhance efficiencies on the battlefield. Like the Fords that made it back from Europe, veterans faced a slow and plotting fight to find a new purpose after serving in the trenches. The Model TT's gave way to Model A's, and then in 1934 Ford customers got a new treat. The Model 50, with legendary flathead V8, shared the look and enhancements of the company's passenger lineup. But production of that vehicle came to a swift conclusion in 1941 when production screeched to a halt. America was at war, and like DAV, Ford switched gears. As the largest boom in DAV membership history was underway following the war in 1948, Ford introduced the F-Series. Following the war, America needed more muscle to rebuild the world at home and abroad. Second and third generation F-Series vehicles followed through to 1960. Four-wheel drive came along in 1959. In 1967, the fifth generation F-Series featured F-O-R-D spelled out in block letters. These were the trucks that made Ford a favorite for so many veterans returning from Vietnam. With every passing generation, the trucks became wider, stronger, and more comfortable for passengers and drivers. We see an evolution being made, an icon in the making. In 1973, Ford developed the ECU Engine Control Unit, introducing microprocessors with 12 bits of semiconductor memory. By 2009, the 12th generation Ford was more comparable to the space shuttle than it was the original Model T. In 2015, to the shock to many, Ford makes a radical jump. Wait for it. To aluminum. Soon after, electric motors. At one time, the idea of going lighter in a Ford truck would have been considered sacrilegious. But the change to military-grade aluminum alloy made the truck more durable and rigid. The F-150 lost 700 pounds, but it's actually stronger. It can tow and haul more on less gas. Aluminum is more recyclable than steel, and that makes it easier for Ford to create replacement parts. The savings has passed on to customers. Customers who hopefully are buying their fords and droves using DAV's X-Plan member advantage. Thank you. The point here is not to impress you gear heads in the audience with what I know about automobiles. You can ask my wife, when it comes to actually fixing a vehicle, I don't even change my wiper blades anymore. If I did, though, you'd find us using another DAV partner. And I'm forever grateful to our friends at USAA for their emergency roadside assistance. Thank you, USAA. DAV's evolution over the years is remarkable.  Comparing the timeline of American history with DAV's history, it illustrates very well how our forebearers adapted to an ever-changing world. From the sales of the Progressive Nations and the adoption of forget-me-not flowers to identity tags and direct mail, DAV has survived the test of time by constantly pushing ourselves to be the best organization we can be. When we saw Vietnam veterans return from war suffering disproportionately from homelessness and disabling mental health issues, we funded the Forgotten Warrior Project, which led to recognition of PTSD in the DSM. And anyone who has ever been a service officer knows how life-changing that has been for veterans who desperately needed the care, benefits, and of near equal value, the destigmatization that has replaced shame and anxiety with validation. If we take an occasional moment to look back and take inventory of the lessons of the past, we must do so with an eye toward the changing needs of the generations of veterans who will be serving in the decades to come. That is why I am especially excited about the journey DAV has taken in the last decade. The DAV team I joined as an apprentice had a different energy and ops tempo than the one we see today. Our rebranding is comparable in many ways to Ford's dramatic shift to aluminum bodies. Though some of you, and you know who you are, are still getting used to the new logo, please let the record show I used air quotes when I said new. The effort that went into it has been transformative. DAV PSAs have aired more than 1.1 million times on television alone. In total, they've generated 67 billion impressions equating to more than $743 million in donated value. It is an absolute honor to follow in the footsteps of someone like Barry, who under his thoughtful stewardship has helped grow DAV's net worth by more than $172 million. We've weathered a global pandemic and came out of it with a new headquarters that was completed on time and under budget, which was largely funded by the sale of two Norman Rockwell paintings and one by NC Wyeth, which were generously donated years ago. We are stronger now because of how we have maintained our focus on our mission. Not only was the rebranding a commitment for DAV to hold ourselves to a more disciplined approach in our outreach, it was a statement to every member of Team DAV. It was a gunmetal gray and night vision green way of encouraging all of us to reject the status quo. As Barry took the helm at national headquarters, the going mantra was that we would not be doing business the way it was done in the past just because that's the way we always did it. We would push ourselves for excellence. We would ask ourselves foremost in every aspect of our efforts was good for veterans. We'd be willing to take risks, but we'd measure everything we do and let impact light the direction ahead. We enhanced our collaboration with VA and the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and added the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic to the partnership to create an adaptive sports program. And that's without mentioning how we're looking into ways we can support the families of the fallen as they lay their veterans to rest. We're constantly pushing to create volunteer opportunities and leverage every available resource we can to improve the lives of those we serve. Less than 10 years ago, we added employment. Where for years DAV had effectively promoted policy and government solutions to provide preference, training, education and equity for disabled veterans. Today we are one of the most prolific resources in the nation when it comes to connecting veterans with jobs. DAV cannot be all things to all people, but for the people we serve, we can say with absolute confidence that we provide tremendously impactful services based on their greatest needs. Where we lack direct expertise, we find partners who can help us fill the cracks. DAV continues to partner with entities like Save a Warrior, Boulder Crest Retreats, Joseph House and others to support meaningful initiatives while introducing some of our most deserving and disabled veterans to the full scope of services we offer. And though we can all be rightfully proud of our accomplishments, we know letting our foot off the gas would undermine all of the progress we've made. In a matter of a few years, we could see DAV's membership fall below one million members, which is a landmark we've enjoyed for many years now. Though our membership represents the veteran community we serve, we have, throughout history, skewed older. Veterans do not typically exit the military and decide to join an organization like DAV, even when we've helped them. And in their time of need, we are respectfully hesitant to ask them to purchase a membership. We do not recruit at career fairs, and we never solicit for membership while helping transition service members on basis. We don't require membership to receive any service, and that will never change. But it seems, unfortunately, some of us are reluctant in other cases to follow up with the simple question we should all ask. When we say we help a million veterans a year, we say so knowing the number is likely much higher. But those of us who leverage the power of DAV to make a life-changing difference for veterans need to also leverage our recruiting skills to bring people into the fold who can and should join DAV. It is significantly cheaper to become a member of DAV than most organizations. We don't charge reoccurring annual dues. Though the cost is inexpensive in comparison, the value is equally significant and the benefits are life-changing. We will absolutely survive a generational downturn in our membership. But for those of us who want the legacy of DAV chapter activities to continue as it has for many years now, we'll need to work together to plus up our ranks. We need to also redouble our efforts to recruit volunteers and report on our local veterans assistant program participation. We need more drivers for our transportation network. At the end of the day without drivers, we know many veterans realistically aren't going to get the care they've earned. And we need more volunteers in hospitals, and more young people to apply for recently expanded DAV scholarships. We have $110,000 to award every year to incentivize youth volunteers. We need help encouraging future leaders to participate. And as you'll see a continued and strong effort from your national headquarters to get more participation this year, I'll tell you if you want a crystal ball view of what you might expect from the first Iraq War veteran to take on this role, my goal is that you'll come to experience more of the same. Expect a national headquarters that believes in your mission at the local and department level and is willing to provide the support and resources you need to achieve your goals. Expect a DAV that is responsive to the needs of the veterans we serve. And expect a team at DAV national headquarters that understands the sacred nature of our mission and responds with the same passion and sense of justice that compels each of you and how you conduct DAV service in your community. This spring we traveled to the Silicon Slopes of Lehigh, Utah to host a DAV Patriot Boot Camp event. The experience was incredible. We've hosted at the new headquarters a few times but it took getting away from the office for me to remove the distractions that prevented me from fully experiencing. And I got to tell you it was something similar to what I experienced in the military. I saw a group of incredible, dynamic people with shared goals working together to lift each other up. From our hosts at MX, a financial technology innovator, to the alumni and mentors who supported the event, we experienced the energy and hope that comes from deserving people achieving breakthroughs. And if my experiences weren't validation enough, we had a special friend joining us. Celebrity chef Robert Irvine, host of Food Network's Restaurant Impossible, once again was there to help veterans in partnership with DAV and his foundation. Though he is now an American citizen, he served in the Royal Navy and has incredible acumen as an entrepreneur. Here's what he had to say about DAV's newest program. I never had mentors. I never had somebody to tell me, oh, don't do this. And I'm sitting in the room listening in the first five minutes to information I would have loved 20 years ago. And yet here we are and DAV has given it to the 30 entrepreneurs that are already in business and having talked to a few of them. This is going to be such a spectacular event simply because they can grow by listening. And again, I didn't have that. And for me to be able to give the issues that I had starting my companies is going to help other people. And I'm all about helping people just like DAV. DAV will remain the strong and undeniable leader in helping veterans achieve justice so long as we all remember the purpose that draws us together. I want to thank all of you for the work you do to make your DAV the incredible organization it is today. Keep up the great work you're doing and let us know if we can be of assistance. I thank you all. Commander, this concludes my report.


I mean, we have a mutual interest in a special relationship. Can you talk about special relationships? OK, with persons or with particular... Particularly with persons. OK. We will go into a little bit more. There's some upset around a particular person. Yes, going into this. I didn't know whether visiting my life is the reason that I should be with. That's the reason why. That's also the reason for my question. We came down together. We were kind of discussing this coming down here. And I had already said I wanted to discuss first of all. Because, you know, special relationships seem to come in and out of this book. In one place there are no special relationships. Everyone has everyone's brother. I can see truly where you begin to see everyone as your brother. And then special relationships don't really have a place. And then there are certain places where they almost seem to be ordained. A special person has been given to you to... Oh, I forget how it goes. You know. As a teaching thing, you know. And it makes sense. And when you begin to look at a relationship like that, then you don't want to look the other way. Well, I did make some notes. But then I've got so many notes. Oh, here we go. Oh. In one place, in lesson 78, it says, Let me behold my Savior in this one who has been given to me to work through my salvation. Like one person has been brought to you to look after your salvation. Did I read that wrong? And then in the manual for teachers, levels of teaching on page 6, it says that there are very specific contexts given to you to teach, to learn from. Relationships in particular must be properly perceived. So that's what we're wondering about. How do you properly perceive relationships? Okay. Relationships, I think, is a pretty good, ambitious topic to go into. I'm sure we could really... At least, yes. Well, as you said, the course does say that you have made special relationships. In other words, all of the relationships that we perceive in this world are special relationships. In the sense that they involve specific people and mainly, I think, if we had to have one underlying factor that we could talk about, what makes a relationship a special relationship, it's the past. You're seeing the past in your brother. And of course, that's where sin is or that's where all grievances are held. Isn't it when you think about grievances or problems and difficulties that you have with particular persons and people, isn't it things that they've said or done in the past? Maybe you have a particular problem or a special relationship with this person. Maybe you blame what you would consider yourself a lot when you really don't do it as much with others, but it still has to do with the past and that's what makes a special relationship special. So, in a larger context of talking about special relationships, the course says that the Holy Spirit doesn't try to destroy our special relationships, but he wants to take them and purify them. He wants to have us set another goal for our relationships and the metaphor that the course uses for these purified special relationships are holy relationships. So, once we get into talking about special relationships, eventually we'll have to come around and talk about holy relationships as well. Now, as with, this is a tool written for a mind that believes that it's a separate little person, a separate little isolated person. This is a tool for the mind that has forgotten that it's the Christ, that it's this very powerful spirit that's one with God. And so, this tool has lots and lots of metaphors and in a sense Jesus knows that the mind believes in specifics, it believes in persons and everything. So, a lot of the course is written at the level of perceiving, working with other people. In other words, most of the time, when we think about a relationship, what kind of comes to your mind? When you think of the word relationship, what pops into your mind? What do you have to have to have a relationship? Another person? Well, definitely. Another person, anything else? Commitment. Commitment. Okay. Love. Honesty. Honesty. When you talk about another person too, I mean, that involves bodies. And in most cases, we're talking about proximity of bodies. You know, it's still possible to have a relationship with someone, but it's like the old thing of having a significant relationship if one person lives in China and one person lives in Wisconsin, then, you know, most of us, I think, would consider that that would be a rather difficult, significant relationship because aren't part of our relationships involving proximity of the bodies and time together. I mean, whether we're talking about a significant other or even a good friend, you know, what about memories that you've shared together, good times? You know, doesn't that seem to enter in the picture of a relationship? And what the course is starting to do is that it's saying we have a lot of concepts in our minds, including time and bodies and proximity and laws of friendship and I think another word that the course uses a lot with special relationships is reciprocity, kind of like, you know, I'm spending this time with you and I'll do these things, but I expect, you know, you to do certain amount of things in return, that all relationships as we've come to know them in this world involve reciprocity as well. So that kind of, kind of gives us a little bit of a context for the way we perceive relationships in this world and also Jesus comes in and says that you don't really know what real relationship is. So that's quite a significant thing to look at too, that he'll say the only real relationship is the relationship between the father and the son. When we talk about love, I mean, that's really love. That's like a continuous song of praise and gratefulness between the father and the son in heaven.  Bodies, time, proximity, reciprocity. There's no reciprocity in heaven. There's no time in heaven, it's just eternity. There's no proximity, you know, there's no, any of those kind of elements that we talked about. So when we get into relationships with the Course, it's kind of like saying, okay, these are the things I believe in and now I want him to, I want the Holy Spirit to help me undo some of these beliefs in my mind. When we get back into time too about seeing the past, you know, it's kind of like asking the Holy Spirit to come in to be the central focus of a relationship. When Jesus talks about that in the section on special relationships, he says that it's a very big turnaround when you invite the Holy Spirit to come into a relationship. That the two may be, you know, shocked or appalled because the purpose of the relationship has been so drastically shifted from what it was before. In other words, through the ego lens, when we're working with relationships, the basic premise of the ego is to get. That's what relationships in this world, co-dependencies are all about. It's your needs, you meet my needs. And the underlying purpose is I want to get something from this other person. If we take it down a little bit deeper than just plain old getting, what the ego believes is the ego believes it's been wronged, the ego believes it's been hurt, the ego believes it has a terribly dysfunctional past and I've been let down many times in the past and the ego also sponsors the belief that you're unworthy, you're incomplete, you're not whole, that you need to seek outside yourself to find the things in other persons and other places and other situations that will fulfill you. So all the anger and all the vengeance that comes into special relationships comes in from this ego's purpose of what can I get from this other person and I want them to fulfill me and when they let me down that's where the anger comes in. So that kind of gives us a little bit of a context for it.


Hey guys today, I'm reviewing polysparse pro octane utility can The pro octane utility can comes in with two different sizes a 10 liter one such as this one suited really well for regular size fuel tanks or One double the size of this one a 20 liter one really well suited for rally fuel tanks for example Utility can is equipped with the leak proof cap ideal for transporting fuel To races training sessions or other situations you can see the o-rings here inside and as well on this cap for the accessories One great feature about this can is the fact that you can bring your oil mixer attached with it and That way you don't risk yourself of forgetting your oil before a race for example Guilty and you keep everything in the same place and tidy You can also keep track of your wheel mix ratio thanks to the wheel mix cage that you have on a cap Which allows you to set the value between 1% and 4% You also have one setting with no oil on it for the four strokes and One blank space for you to Personalize it as you want for example to put the name of your cat Mittens, why not? An accessory that you can buy separately, but if you ask me is pretty much mandatory is the filling hose Just by looking at it You can see that it's a really well thought piece with o-rings on both sides to keep the know the no leak proof Concepts still on it has a hose bender piece in here to help it fill or to help with the filling process And as well as the no spill system The only flaw I can point out for this accessory is really about the filling hose on the cap on a small cap Which is imagine yourself refueling mid-race and you have this small thing hanging between the fuel tank and utility can it's something that will definitely give you the twitch on your eye like mid-race and You don't need much just to secure this cap. So it's the only flaw that I can give it And since we're at it, we're gonna see how long does it take to completely refill my bikes fuel tank with the pro 10 utility can ready three two one And we're gonna test the nose feel Not bad at all. I gotta say In the meantime police force sent the quick fill valve and I decided to give it a test and compare it Against the filling hose. Why not? But just seeing the piece. It's a really robust piece. It's not a flimsy and you think it's gonna break No, it's a really robust piece and you have a locking mechanism that you can twist between it the open and closed position And the string that allows it to open is really strong So I don't think there's gonna be any problem with keeping the no leak Concept still on and they have on the tip a little o-ring to keep it all sealed up Now let's see how much quicker is the quick filling valve. It doesn't spill. Which is good two one go This is gonna win. The second is quicker. Not bad In a race it can do the difference Overall both the pro 10 utility can and its accessories The filling hose and the quick fill valve are really functional and well thought out pieces And if you think about it These are really useful in any activity involving refueling whether it's your dirt bike during a race a bolt a Cart or even a lot more Hope you liked it and subscribe


The last of the wards is named after Justice Gerald LeDen. He was the Canadian Supreme Court Justice, who before he became the Justice, you know, in the United States, we had the Schaefer Commission report, the breakthrough report appointed by President Nixon that came out with all sorts of recommendations that he really didn't wanna hear. The same thing happened in Canada with Justice LeDen. A breakthrough report like the one in the U.S. that opened up a new dialogue back in the 1970s about drug policy. We give this award for accomplishment in the field of law. Sometimes lawyers, sometimes activists, sometimes all sorts of people. Well, in this case, the award is gonna go to the people that we thought were really among the most responsible for the victories in Colorado and Washington. So I'm gonna ask Ira Glasser to come on up here and give these awards to Allison Holcomb, represented here by Pete Holmes, the city attorney of Washington, and to Brian and Mason and Steve Fox, who plays a Jiquiro in Colorado. Well, believe it or not, I'm gonna be really brief and leave what time there is to the award winners to say what they wanna say. And I'll let you read about their extensive biographies and experience in this field in the program, as Ethan suggested at the beginning. And if we ever find those programs, we'll mail them out to you. But it's important to note that when something like these ballot initiatives get passed, it's never just due to two or three people, of course. It's due to many people. And many people deserve all kinds of credit for it. But in the end of the day, somebody has to write it. Somebody has to run the campaign and they have to do it right or the movement gets set back. It has to be written carefully, it has to be managed carefully, and above all, it has to be won. Because winning isn't everything, but losing isn't anything. And these are the three people in Colorado, Steve and Mason and Brian, who made the difference in writing the initiative, in managing and directing the campaign to get it passed. So please come up and accept this award if I can find it. Thank you, everyone. Much appreciated. Thank you, Ira, for the introduction. Thanks, DPA, for the award, of course, and a great conference, as always, the highlight of every two years. It's really an honor to receive this award and have this recognized. And it's an especially, special honor to share it with my two great friends and colleagues. The Amendment 64 campaign wasn't won overnight. It wasn't won in 2012 or 2011, but this is something the three of us have worked on for eight years together, which is really amazing. Thank you. Brian Vicentes started Sensible Colorado in 2004 with a grant from the Marijuana Policy Project in Peter Lewis, and for years, and for years stood up for the patients in the state and not just standing up for them, but representing them on the legal side and helped open up the entire industry that exists by helping to defeat an attempt by Colorado State to limit caregivers to only serving five patients. And by winning that, it opened up the ability for caregivers to serve as many patients as they could, which led to the development of the industry. So that's incredible work by Brian and really set the stage for regulating for all adults. So let's hear it for Brian. Then my good friend Mason, who, I showed someone the other night, I don't think you'll be able to see this from here, but this is my phone, and on the home screen, it's my two daughters, my wife and Mason, as my little four speed dials. You can see it later if you want. That's because we really spoke every day for about eight years working on the Safer Campaign that he and I founded with Aaron Houston back in 2005. And as I suppose all you know, the whole purpose was to change the culture, help people understand marijuana's less harmful than alcohol and all that and lay the groundwork for a time when marijuana could be made legal. So long story short, it worked out. And Mason was the person while I was sitting behind my desk comfortably, Mason was doing every kind of stunt and petition drive and interview that came up and whatever it was. If we decided that he was gonna challenge the mayor of Denver to a duel where he would smoke, have a puff of his joint for every beer that the mayor could chug. Mason was ready to do it and we got the media coverage we wanted. And in the end, it all worked out. So let's hear it for Mason. The next thank you, well is actually making up for a mistake I made and I'm glad I have an opportunity to make up for it. On election night, it was a great, amazing party, amazing victory and so on, as you can imagine. And at one point we were able to go up and each say a few words. It was the three of us along with Betty Aldworth. I don't know if she's here. Great spokeswoman for the campaign now becoming executive director of SSDP will shall do great. So, and the other person was Rob Campia and I was told beforehand I was told beforehand that based on the order of speakers that I would introduce him, but I got all fired up during my speech and then the next thing you know, I just said, and here's Rob, basically that. So what I should have said then and felt bad about it for a long time but can say now is that the three of us here are pretty hardworking, pretty smart and so on, can configure a lot of things out and get a lot of things done. But without Rob Campia and MPP, we just would have been sitting around on our couches talking about making marijuana legal. So I wanna give a great amount of thanks to Rob because there was a time, well basically MPP put in 90% of the money for the campaign at a time when we didn't know if we could get the signature drive done or anything like that and at a time when the polling wasn't incredibly high. He said, well we're gonna buy ads early because they're cheaper and put in a lot of money. So really marijuana would not be legal in this state if it weren't for Rob, so let's hear it for Rob. So finally and with my time running out, I'd like to dedicate the award or at least the third that I own. Oh no, actually we got three, I don't wanna make it seem cheap. So I would like to dedicate my award to my parents. I was brought up in a Jewish household, not really Jewish, we weren't kosher, we didn't go to synagogue or anything like that. But they raised me to believe in the philosophy captured by the phrase takun alum, which means to repair or heal or transform the world. And it is immensely gratifying to know that because of our work, now any veteran in this state with PTSD can use marijuana. Any couple that wants to relax at night and have a great time can now do so. Any person that wants to go to a Vicente Cedarburg party and have a great time can do so. And most satisfying is at this event, the number of international folks that are here from Uruguay, Mexico, Columbia, Canada, elsewhere are all here and seeing what's happening here and we'll bring it home. And we truly will transform the world, so takun alum. And the last award, the second stage of this award goes to Allison Holcomb, who is the person who in Washington did what Mason and Steve and Brian did here. She was the primary author of and the primary director of the campaign for I-502. And without her and what she did, it wouldn't have happened. Again, I'll leave you to read her resume, but I do want to say one thing that she is the criminal justice director of the ACLU of Washington for which I take some pride, but no credit because she was hired in 2006, five years after I retired. And although I must tell you that it was not an accident that this happened in Washington. The ACLU of Washington was the only affiliate of the ACLU, the only state affiliate in the entire country which took to this issue like that faster than anybody else. When Lauren Siegel and I were first pushing this issue out of the National Office of the ACLU back in the late 80s and tried to ignite our affiliate structure under states to do this, the ACLU of Washington under the direction of Kathleen Taylor took to it immediately and has always been a major force. Andy Coe worked there for a long time. And so Alison Holcomb was in the tradition and I wish she was here for me to congratulate her personally but here to accept the award is Pete Holmes, the city attorney of Seattle and who can congratulate her for us. Let's be honest, I'm not worthy to accept this award on behalf of Alison. She is the brains behind this initiative and she directed it as Ira said. But you know, the fact that she can't be here tonight is a little bit of symmetry because Alison is traveling to approximately half a dozen countries in South America and Europe helping them to undo that twisted prohibition policies in those countries. And the reason I say it's a bit of symmetry is because we exported this policy across the world and now we're exporting Alison Holcomb to help undo it. As I said, Alison is a passionate, brilliant lawyer and she carried out this campaign and drafted this law while she was also, while she still is, of course, a wife and a mother to a four-year-old, boisterous boy throughout this campaign who became a fixture at a lot of the rallies. So as Ira alluded to, Kathleen Taylor, who allowed Alison to go from ACLU into New Approach, Washington, thank God for powerful women like this to help write these wrongs. Thank you, Alison. You know, you gotta love it when the chief prosecutor comes to accept the award on behalf of the leader of the legalization initiative is the world changing or what? Well, it's time to wrap it up. I'm so glad you all made it to Denver for those of you who came from out of town. I look forward to seeing you all two years from now in Washington, D.C. Let's hope and pray that we have a whole but that Uruguay legalizes next month and Oregon and Alaska and others in the next year. Let's hope and pray that the number of people locked up in America has gone down by 100,000, if not more in the next couple of years. Let's hope and pray that the number of people who get access to drug treatment or the help they need increases with Obamacare or whatever else is gonna make it available to them. Let's hope and pray that leadership continues to emerge from the elites and that civil society and the grassroots keeps driving us forward. Let's see more presidents stepping up and more governors and senators beginning to open their mouths. Let's see our activism get more powered and more sophisticated because we are winning but we got a long way to go. Have a great night, stay safe, see you in a couple of years. Bye bye.


Crime fighting will be another area of focus in the coming year. In the first instance, we must tackle the effectiveness of crime detection and avoidance. This will require new technology, training and infrastructure. We will be building new facilities for the police in Grozile and Castries, provide additional vehicles and equipment. Monitoring and surveillance will be boosted for the use of modern technology. We will seek to improve police accountability and professionalism and also improve their conditions of work. We will take concrete action to reduce the backlog of cases by the appointment of new judges in the criminal justice system. We will strengthen the laws against domestic abuse. We will also reinitiate plans for the creation of a new halls of justice complex, separate and distinct from that of the police headquarters. However, you must also address the root causes of crime as well. Attention will be given to our system of social support, particularly our human and family support services.

안녕하세요. 저는 댄섬입니다. 오늘 여러분께 전화할 수 있을 것입니다. 제 프로젝트는 한국의 국립리브리오프에서 타이틀한 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 저는 한국의 국립리브리오프 팀의 리브리오프입니다. 자, 제 이름은 댄섬입니다. 저는 한국의 국립리브리오프의 팀입니다. 저는 그룹 파운데이션의 멤버입니다. 저는 리브리오프의 팀의 파운데이션의 멤버입니다. 그리고 저는 한국의 파운데이션의 멤버입니다. 제 TTF의 리브리오프는 한국의 국립리브리브리오프의 팀입니다. 그리고 리브리오프에서 한국의 국립리브리오프에서 타이틀한 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 저는 2세션을 설명할게요. 1세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 2세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프의 미래프로모션입니다. 4세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프에서 타이틀한 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 저는 3세션을 설명할게요. 1세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 2세션은 SRP에 관한 국립리브리오프입니다. 4세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 4세션은 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 한국의 이름은 한국의 컴퓨터입니다. 한국의 이름은 화안글입니다. 이 캐릭터를 보시죠. 아리아보앤입니다. 제주의 파트에서 제주의 파트입니다. 한국에서 한국의 국립리브리오프입니다. 오토바리PML와 오디엣브루즈의 파트만을 제주의 파트만을 제주하고 있습니다. 한국의 국립리브리오프의 파트만 한국의 국립리브리오프의 파트만 한국의 국립리브리오프의 파트만 KSS, ISOS, IEC, 2CS3007 What is auto-wpml? It is a Korean standard XS1001 registered code number. South Korea government guided SMA-based document specification. 한국의 SMA-based document specification and SWPX format It is based on performance purposes. However, many of public sector and private sector use Hancom's binary file format. It has Hancom's binary file format, SWP broadly used in Korea. SWP file format. Now I introduce the SWP issue. Almost many of Korea public sector use SWP format. Since last year, I did SWPX format. This is left feature is Ministry of Justice's home page notice. They uploaded document file as your SWP file format. Right is Ministry of Education site specification. It shows SWP file format and SWPX file format. You can watch. This is SWP file format. It is pro prior 30 software format. And not free library open source software. The SWP format next interoperate ability. So it's difficult to spread of ODF. This is SWP 2022 version screenshots. It looks like developers and MS world. Since last year, Hancom recommended use SWPX format instead of SWP. Hancom noticed for recommending the use of SWPX since 50 April 2021. This is the link. It only shows Korean. If you use SWP update or update the power. And I watched Hancom recommend using SWPX format. Last left is Hancom SWP 2022 installing power. They recommend the use of SWPX file format. Hancom releases so many of SWP formats. I'll introduce 5 word process formats. The famous format extension is SWP. First, I introduce SWP version 3. It's supported by developers. It's old binary format. Second is SWP ML. By extension is .hml. Hancom's first SML based document specification. It released in 1997. Third is SWP version 5. Currently popular use in Korea. It released in July 2010. Fourth is SWP ML. File extension is .wpml. It based on SWP ML. And government guided SML based document specification. It released in 2010. SWP ML registered codename KSX-6101 in 2011. And last is SWP-S file format. extension name is SWP-S. It generated SML based document specification by Hancom. Hancom recommend to use SWP-S file format since last year. Now, I introduce SWP government a lot. Group OS site is glum.kr. It's Debian-based Linux distribution. Lead by national security resources institute in Korea and Hancom. Hangra computer. What is glum? Glum literally means cloud in Korea. South Korea government in this year. South Korea government replace 600,000 laptops named on-book with pre-order with glum OS. This is glum Linux screen share. It is not installed default office suite. I think default software only runs installing software. In my opinion, only runs internet and watching video and images. And calculate something. Not include default office suite. Glum OS-based Linux distribution is released from various vendors. Also Hancom also released rebranding Hancom Glum OS. And TMEX releases TMEX Glum OS. This is a link. And I installed Hancom's Glum Linux. And I watched the Glum Linux screen shares. You can watch the Hangar 2020 viewers. Only viewers. Not edit. Was processed files and spread sheet. And shows Hangar PowerPoint. Looks like. I watched the critical issue of Hancom Glum Linux. Only support ASTORP office viewer and spread sheet and presentation. It's not pre-library open source software. It's typical pro-priority software. This is screenshot of Glum Linux's Hancom ASTORP office viewer. And I introduced to compare of ASTORP and ASTORPX and MS World and developer. The first ASTORP file format is binary content. Not easy need file format. Non-interoperability and pro-priority format. But all SML-based MS World file format. DUCS and developer's file format. ODF, ODT, file extension is ODT. And ASTORPX is GIP-based SML-based file format. Each test format and easily readable format, SML-based. So this is example of all SML file format and ODF and ASTORPX file format. Now let me let's introduce Jeju. Jeju is one of the most difficult direct to understanding in Korea. Some scholars and local government classified Jeju direct as a language other than one of Korean dialects. Jeju language spoken on Jeju island in South Korea in Korea in Korea in Osaka, Japan. Jeju island is located about 48km south-west of Korea mainland. This spotless red star is Jeju island. If you do you do you listen to Jeju language? You can you can watching Apple TV drama, bashingko. Bashingko is on epic historical vision. Now vision novel following on Korean family who immigrate to Japan. It deal with Koreans in Japan, Japan families. If you want to listen to Jeju or Jeju language, you watch the TV drama series bashingko. Also you listen to Korean standard Korean and Gyeongsan dialect. Gyeongsan dialect is Korean peninsula south to east areas part near Japan. This is Japan and Jeju language and Japanese and English. On 9th standard Korean, Jeju on the 10th long lost boy, RER. Unicode score point is U plus 1 1 0 E boy. UNESCO classified Jeju as critical in dangerous dangerous in 2010. This is example of Jeju notations. You can watch, you can watch adia for well. Jeju detains long lost boy adia for well. This is here. 혼자 어디서 해? 좀미 새끼, 나는 너는 잘 잘 가는구나. 찾아와 좀 고맙시다. 순비지 배양 남주지? 아니요. I can read Jeju어. Jeju어 sentence. It's a Jeju dictionary link and example of Jeju어 dictionary contents. In use Jeju어 adia voice. adia voice is used in Korean adia. The voice uses both classical angle, yet angle and Jeju어. This is an example of adia use. Maybe old Korean. Old Korean says adia for well. 바람, 덜, 한글. See, Han Kul is Han Kul. It's a brand name. And Jeju어 also notation is here. After pdf conversion, original word Wonkuk changed to wrong word here or here on pdf. I submitted a lot of bugs. This is a link. All notosense font from old Korean syllabus have never known in 40 pdfs. This is an example of adia pdf conversion bug. It's here and here. Also an example of develop is Jeju어 adia notation bug. And also this is an example of yet angle, classical angle, unnormal showing on iphone and webbook and some Apple products. Left is windows, windows twitter and right is iphone contents. I found the unnormal showing bug, adia bugs. And then I have two develop is promotion plans. One is short term plans and the other is long term plans. I have decided on the short term plans. Heteroplast 222 and Ubuntu asia 2022. Also I have decided on the long term plans. I will briefly introduce the long term plans such as make videos and support to chip based SWPS file format on the web office. I hold on online event for Heteroplast 222. Why? I want to collect Korean autocorrect data with Korea open source developers. This is depository link and this is an example of Korean autocorrect features in the web office. This is Korean autocorrect data based on SMF format in the file located in src.slash. source.slash.autocorrect.slash.language.co.slash.document.system.smfile. This is content. These are example of autocorrect features on SWP and MS word. SWP shows Korean autocorrect and MS word shows 자동고침. Let's explain Ubuntu 222. The site is here and I participate in Ubuntu asia 2022 as a session speaker. It will be held on November 26th and 27th in this year. I joined Ubuntu Ubuntu Ubucon asia support. I have known to France. After COVID-19 pandemic, I plan to make developers Korean team leaders. I think maybe it will be make leaders online. Maybe I think in my opinion, benchmark the developers Japanese teams online leader. I have long term plans for developer office. I will try to fix their office Korean blogs and make some pictures. This is dictionary and dictionary pictures and document templates in Korea for Korean and support SWPS performance. East Asian regions, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, many of Asian script can be written in the horizon or particular manner. This is example of CJK particle writing. First from top to down and order from right to left. This is example of particle writing in Korea. Also example of SWPS particle writing templates. Also this is guide line of Korean particle writing manuals. I found Korean particle writing and submit the bugs. Also I found SWPS dictionary pictures. Korean hanja dictionary. Hanja is Korean name for Chinese character. This is Korean hanja dictionary and Korean dictionary. This is hanja dictionary. Term right is hanja dictionary. Bottom is Korean English and English Korean dictionary. It's long term plan. Korea hanja dictionary for Buddhism. Buddhism hanja sound is difficult to default Korean hanja sound. Example one is this character. In default Korean hanja sound is Geungang banyak haram ilgyeong. But Korean Buddhism sound is Geungang banyak haram ilgyeong. Second is Korean hanja. In default Korean hanja sound is Anudara sammak sambuze. But correct is Anyokdara sammak samburi. And currently Korean hanja dictionary on the liberal office. Some years ago I fixed the liberal office hanja dictionary bugs. So I'll improve Korean hanja dictionary like Hancome's history dictionaries. Also this is example of document to promise templates for Korea. I'll try to add Korea document to templates on liberal office. They are example of Korea document templates on the SWP. This is example of extra piece document template list. I'll try to add Korean document templates as a liberal office extension for many things. Aboard tournament. Before slides, I'll participate in Ubucon Asia 2022 as a session speaker. It will be held on November 26th and 27th 2022. And location is Urikum scale. It's the first in person went to Asia conference in South Korea. Thank you. That covers all why I wanted to deliver today. Thank you for your time. Thank you for watching. Time for question. Any more questions? Thanks.


October in Salem is usually a month-long Halloween celebration, but COVID-19 has made changes to the festivities. In normal years, the city says nearly half a million people visit Salem in October. Locals say it gets too busy at Halloween time. I try to stay away from it. It's crowded because from the area, I don't want to, you know, the traffic, you know, it's crazy. The streets are emptier this year, but Salem's crowds have concerned many. Mayor Kim Driscoll has urged visitors with no plans to stay away, and restaurants, tours, and museums require reservations. But some visitors, including this group from the Finger Lakes, have come anyway. We really didn't want to have a schedule and we just want to enjoy people. Salem has canceled all haunted happenings events, among other new restrictions from the mayor's office to try to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak. Despite the pandemic, Salem has continued to draw large crowds, and the city is reacting accordingly. For BETV10, I'm Sonya Shen.


I have to start with the obligatory disclaimer that everything that I will say, although scripted, is effectively my views and I'm just speaking on my personal capacity. It's particularly critical that this juncture, given that as I speak negotiations are ongoing in Brussels, both between Parliament and Council in the presence of the Commission as well, between Commission and Council on very two important pieces of legislation, BRD and SRM. And it is really critical that both of those pieces of legislation get passed and adopted and entered into force at some point in the near future. Some would say not just as a precondition for growth in Europe, but really as even to ensure that the idea of the single market for financial services remains alive and even Europe integration itself. So let me start off by going back to where we come from, why we are currently, as I said, discussing with Council and parliamentarians how to solve the problem that we encountered five years ago. The recent crisis made it clear that neither the EU nor the United States had a coherent regime for resolving systemically important financial institutions. Perhaps nothing illustrates the lack of an effective framework at what happened with Lehman Brothers in that now infamous weekend in September 2008, where in the course of two days Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail without any plan, without any preparation whatsoever. And then two days later AIG had to be rescued again without any plan or preparation whatsoever. The truth is that governments face an intolerable trade-off between preserving stability in the short term through bailout and enhancing stability in the long run by enhancing market discipline. Political pressures and the fact that the long run is irrelevant, unless system can survive the very short run, have led to an unprecedented government interventions across most countries hit by the ongoing financial crisis. The lack of appropriate resolution tools too often results in hastily arranged bailouts negotiated over chaotic, sleepless weekends. Many of you may have been participating in some of those, in fact. Most of the problems that plagued the authorities in the recent crisis could have been anticipated from early in banking crisis. This is the sad truth. I mean, these lessons include the danger of uncoordinated actions by authorities, the first mover advantage in the clear and bankruptcy, sensitivity of markets to unanticipated behavior by the very same authorities that regulate them, the challenge of resolving an institution with substantial international corporate complexity, the disruptive impact procedures to institutions that have been actively engaged in trading, the profound differences in resolution procedures and bankruptcy laws, and the ambiguous benefits of close-out nettings. We knew from past banking crisis that all those problems were there. However, unfortunately, SCAN existence evidence exists that much had been done about it prior to 2008. No major advances were made in national resolution policies or in the coordination of resolution policies across countries. Indeed, as financial activity became more concentrated in fewer, increasingly larger and more complex institutions, the financial system became more vulnerable to the problems exposed in those very same early crisis. The ongoing financial crisis has made it clear that the system needs a radical overhaul. I think there's a general consensus about that. This time, it's actually make or break. Banks, in particular in the EU, have gradually mutated, at least in my personal opinion, from too big to fail banks into too big to save banks. So let me tell you what's the diagnosis of why all of this happened. And implicitly and somewhat subtly, I hope by giving you my own view of why it all happened, I also illustrate what the red lines I think should be in that context of these discussions that are ongoing in Brussels and hopefully will be completed in a few weeks with regards to BRD and possibly a little later on SRM. The response by policy makers to deal with the contagion risk on the drying up of international financial markets as well as the Lehman Brothers shocks was actually quite swift. It benefited from the lessons learned during the Great Depression. Central banks provided enormous amounts of liquidity, foreign exchange swap facilities and even function as purchaser of last result in many asset markets, that's particularly the case in the US. Soon, it became clear, however, that many financial institutions did not only face liquidity but also solvency problems. Quickly, a gap became apparent. While central banks coordinated well during the crisis to address the liquidity crisis in international financial markets, regulators did not coordinate well when it came to dealing with failing financial institutions. Why this gap? Was it purely a lack of preparation or experience to deal with that situation, a lack of misunderstanding? As mentioned earlier, we had experienced many of these before. We had learned some lessons before. In my view, personal opinion, it was because limited resolution options that led to the inefficient resolutions, there were limited resolution options and this led to the inefficient resolution of large European banks. At the same time, there were rather biased incentives of regulators and a lack of adequate coordination. Let me start with the first of those problems. The absence of domestic resolution frameworks. I mean, a few examples actually illustrate this better than the costs that what happened at the time when Northland Rock was belly-up. You saw queues at time branches in Northland Rock until 2007 and despite being a medium-sized retail bank, Northland Rock's failure caused systemic disruption and put taxpayers' money at risk. Regulators at the time had the option of either closing banks and liquidating them through the regular corporate insolvency process or bailing them out through recapitalization or guarantees. Now, the first option of closing and liquidating a bank through the regular insolvency process carries the risk of bank runs, of contagion and in the case of commercial banks, destroying lending relationships and thus probitory information that is valuable for the real economy. The repercussions of closing Lehman Brothers and sending it into liquidation have not only made it clear these risks but they have also ensured a subsequent policy bias against this option across the globe. The second option, the one of bailout, does not only carry moral hazard risk but also draws on some fiscal resources, at least in the case of large banks and thus requires approval of finance minister or even legislatures and one would argue has indeed led to these failed embrace between many banks that needed to be supported and member states in the periphery which may not have had as deep pockets and one would have thought. Now, options to avoid the moral hazard were not available by intervening at an earlier stage, say before the bank hits the seriquity mark through either, say, PROM corrective action regime by allowing for merger and acquisition, by purchasing assumption of part of the failing bank, traditional, well-tested, certainly in the U.S. and Canada, resolution tools. And to avoid taxpayer bailout, losses may need to be imposed in a wide class of bank creditors, including holders of debt as well as equity by bailing. These are some of the key lessons that have shaped the BRRD and its entry into force would ensure, one hopes, that these lessons are in the future enshrined in the banking legislation across the EU. What about the second problem, a supranational gap and lack of coordination, the one that, at least partially, the single resolution mechanism is trying to resolve combined with the creation of the European Banking Authority. Well, the second problem was that the increasing cross-border nature of banking was not accompanied by a regulatory framework on the supranational level. While monetary policy and, therefore, unofficially the land of last resort facilities were unified within the Euro area and the level of ACB, no similar institutional arrangement existed on the regulatory level. The negative effects of the lack of a proper failure resolution framework were exacerbated by the lack of a proper coordination framework at the European level, which Mervyn King confirmed with a statement that banks are global in life but national in death. And while regulatory cooperation had been prepared with memorandums of understanding and EU regulations, those, at the end of the day, on the 11th hour turned out to be just paper. Colleges of supervisors exchanged information, but the ultimate decision to intervene and resolve a bank stayed with the lead supervisor, who in many cases during the current crisis at least had to involve the Minister of Finance as resolution required, fiscal resources. Now, the main efficiency of these existing cooperation arrangements is that incentives of regulators are not taken into account. Specifically, national regulators care first and foremost, as should be expected, about domestic depositors, domestic borrowers, domestic owners, and ultimately domestic taxpayers. Indeed, they're ultimately accountable to national governments and boaters. Take the example of Icelandic banks, which you all know very well. They were domestically owned, but with large shares of foreign deposits and assets. It was not until very late in the game that the Icelandic supervisors acknowledged the dire situation of several of their banks, or the three banks. The situation was in fact exacerbated by the fact that the Icelandic banks were collecting many of their foreign deposits through branches rather than subsidiaries, over which host country supervisors do not have any control. Even in the case of subsidiaries, however, bear in mind that even though they're under the responsibility of the host country supervisors, banks can actually shift resources relatively fast between parent and bank, between parent banks and subsidiaries. So in addition to distorted incentives, lack of supervisor experience and limited fiscal resources, issues that we're all acutely aware of, all of this contributed to delaying intervention. And ultimately, the Icelandic banks turned out to be too big to save. Similar stories can be told about 40s in Dexia and a host of other examples. But in sum, inadequate domestic resolution regimes, in particular as regards large, complex, and interconnected banks operating cross-border, were facing a combined, with this lack of supranational coordination, a reinforcing effect, which actually magnified the problem quite dramatically. Now first, regulators may not even have had the legal authority to do what was necessary to resolve a distressed institution. Second, even if regulators had the necessary authority over part of the institution, they may not have had authority over the whole firm. Third, regulators are unlikely to be aware of all the interconnections within these institutions and between the institution's very subsidiaries and other firms. This uncertainty makes it difficult for regulators to know what best way to restructure a financial institution or bank, or indeed whether restructuring is even feasible without enormous disruption. So the consequences of all the above deficiencies is that, and I quote in the first EU report on the matter in 2009, in the responses to this crisis, member state authorities have tended to ring fence national assets of a cross-border group and apply national resolution tools at the level to the extent they existed, at the level of each entity rather than seek a group-wide solution. This of course undermines the goal of an integrated market for financial services and banking. Since in the case of bankruptcy, the definition of the claims on a bank is quite different depending on the country of residence, as foreign stakeholders will normally be discriminated in case of restructure. But then this begs the question. We already knew the potentially devastating effects of banking crisis, and yet we had managed to implement the dream of single currency for willing member states at least, we were truly ill-prepared for dealing with leverage cycle that itself exacerbated. So the resolving these banks, these large institutions, in particular, is so hard. You know, why continue, actually, to fight for the price of a single market? Is it really worth the fight? I would say it is. Again, there's widespread consensus that it is. Cross-border banking allows for risk diversification, reduces the volatility of domestic lending, reduces the impact of domestic runs. Foreign banks actually increase their resilience and the stability of the domestic banking sector. There is a possibility of cross-country risk-sharing. Cross-border banking enhances competition and stability. Competition itself increases quality and service. This is one of the things that competition does, even if it's not perfect. You can see that in many countries, penetration, for example, of online banking active, of online banks or subsidiaries. And all of this essentially ensures that an integrated financial market, despite the potential cost of contagion, actually isn't the benefit of all of the EU and should be promoted and protected. But how to do that? So what was the commission's regulatory response? Well, a competitive and dynamic integrated, the premise was and continues to be that a competitive and dynamic integrated EU market for banking holds this promise of this more efficient allocation of scarce capital towards projects that generate the most value added and does enhance growth and well-being of all the EU citizens. Now, this is the proverbial expansion of the pie. This is the one of the few things in which politicians and economists alike can agree, and I'm an economist myself. The problem is that the market mechanism for securing competent management is the prospect of failure. Competition cannot work without the prospect of failure. The crisis was reminded us that, whatever their origin, bank failures can be costly, may spread to other banks, and similarly endanger the solvency of non-financial firms. There are recovery and resolution frameworks which are designed to enable a failing bank, including a CFI, to be restored to viability or resolve partially or entirely in an orderly manner. And this should be done through advance planning and direct intervention by resolution authorities, with minimum disruption to the financial system and of course with minimum cost or zero cost to the taxpayer. Now, this last point, the cost to the taxpayer of bank bailouts is particularly critical for two reasons. First, the magnitude of the recent crisis has focused attention on resolution policy for the simple reason that too big to fail, as mentioned earlier, may have already mutated for certain institutions in central countries into too big to save. Andrew Howden has estimated the guarantees and subsidies extended by the US, the UK and the Euro area to support financial system have amounted to 25% of world GDP, up and including November 2009. It's probably greater by now. Not only are costs large relative to global output, but also in some countries, they're beyond the capacity of the national government to provide credible support. For example, our lines bailout in this very country of its banks has transformed a banking crisis into a sovereign debt crisis quite clearly. So how should the cost of these bailouts be measured when considering potential alternative resolution regimes? Well, it might be not just in cost of taxpayers and the strain on public finances and central bank balance sheets, but equally importantly, in the resources wasted, sustaining huge, zombie-like institutions that warehouse large amounts of dodgy debt rather than serving as youthful intermediaries. This delays economic recovery and the creative destruction that is the heart of dynamic capitalism. But a second problem, almost as worrying, is that the bailouts also intensify incentives for risk-taking by CFEs in particular and distort competition and will make future crises more frequent, larger and more difficult to imagine. Again, as Mervin King has stated, the massive support extended to the banking sector around the world, and particularly in Europe, has created possibly the biggest moral hazard in history. So what should be the objectives of a good resolution regime? Are these objectives enshrined in the BRD and in its equivalent in order to build a banking union? This is the SRM. Well, I think one question we need to ask ourselves, first of all, is how can we expect banks to perform their critical intermediation functions take risks and lend to the real economy whilst preserving financial stability in the event of bank failure and at the same time avoid all the problems associated with bailouts of moral hazard and too big to save? Well, there are essentially four complementary regulatory instruments for this. One is to increase regulatory supervision. That's what the SSM has intended to do. Another one is to increase capital requirements, make this institution safer. That's CRD4. We also have structural reform, which is intended to ensure that there are restrictions on certain activities that generate too much risk and actually being supported by implicit subsidies while not deserving that support because there is no market failure associated with providing those activities. But finally, and probably more importantly, is to give government resolution authority that needs to have in order to resolve banks and make sure they're not too big to fail. And the Commission has acted, of course, in all of those four fronts and I will soon in the structural reform front as well. But it is the latter, the resolution regime that is the most critical and, in my opinion, the most complex as it seeks to balance complementary but also conflicting goals, and it does so by inducing and changing the incentives of banks themselves. And when we look at the various features that the BRD package or proposal by commission has, as well as the SRM, the SRM, it reflects this fine balancing of these conflicting goals. Let me listen for you. Bank failure resolution has, first, three goals exposed. To protect depositors and avoid disruptive bank runs, to allow the continuation of borrower-lander relationship and prevent disruption to the economy, and to avoid any disruption or the payment and clearing system. Now, the first and third of those goals, those exposed goals, in particular, call for rapid intervention, preferably over a weekend when financial institutions and markets are closed for business. That is one of the goals of BRD, make this decision making fast and effective and primarily quick, non-disruptive. But there's also a extent to goals. Bank failure resolution also needs to minimize moral hazard. The goal of avoiding moral hazard risk calls for rapid intervention resolution as well. However, it also calls for losses to be imposed on equity shareholders, insiders and junior creditors of banks. This is unavoidable. This is the problem why we have to have bail-in in the future. In addition, it calls for the minimization of any bail-out expectations, including the threat of job loss for the takers of risky decisions. That's why bankers that are reckless in their behavior need to be fired when the bank goes over, when it goes down. So, all of this sets essentially what in my opinion are the guiding principles for an orderly and swift resolution. That is to say, I would hope for the BRD as it's been proposed. First, to set a special resolution for banks, make sure it's in place when the time comes. Second, to ensure that shareholders take the first losses. Third, to ensure that secure creditors take the receipt of losses. Then, to ensure that senior management can be replaced when and if needed. Fourth, to ensure that there's a fifth, sorry, to ensure that the resolution plan is in fact prepared in advance. And finally, public support should only be provided if private sector solutions are exhausted and stability concerns are overriding. But all of this suggests that once we're done, once the BRD is in place, we can relax. I don't think so. I don't think that's the case. We need to remain alert and we need to review continuously. There are far too many problems still lurking around the corner. Let me just list them in the interest of having a more in-depth discussion later. I'm happy to take questions of any of these. First of all, bail-in induced runs. We know that bail-in in certain situations if the resolution authority doesn't take enough care to potentially lead to a position where potential creditors facing the prospect of bail-in may run. We're not quite sure how that's going to play out, but we know there's a time inconsistency problem lurking behind. Secondly, cross-border cooperation. No matter how well-designed single-resolution mechanism is, there will still be a need to cooperate with British government, British resolution authorities, US resolution authorities, Asian, you know, any other authority that has supervisory power, resolution powers over large interconnected banks that operate cross-border and there's plenty of them. Barclays, for example, has more than half of their assets outside its home country. Finally, there's a problem of concentration. One of the key ways to resolve a bank when they're going to get stuff is to sell it over to someone else. But then these banks become bigger and bigger and this may reinforce moral hazard problems, may actually reinforce too big to fail, which itself will feed the too big to save problem. And not to speak of competition problems that would arise as a result. And then finally, time inconsistency and conflicting goals. We have three actors that have a role to play in Portable to Play when it comes to resolution. We have the supervisory authorities who at some point in time may be a little bit reluctant to declare a bank if you go into resolution fail or likely to fail because this may put them in good light in terms of the supervisory activity. But you have the resolution authority itself who may be concerned with effectively what is the best instrument and to do it quickly, maybe in ways that may exacerbate some problems. For example, the issue of bailing runs. And we also have the treasury who not only doesn't want to pay up but at the same time may be concerned with credit crunches. So there's all these conflicting objectives and behind there is the risk of regulatory capture. And just to conclude let me point out that the final and most controversial element of an effective resolution framework is appropriate burden sharing agreements. Well, private sector solutions are preferable and should always be explored to the full first. There may be cases where public support is needed to keep systemic banks or part of systemic banks alive to prevent a meltdown to the financial system. I think inevitably we have to admit this. Game theory in fact, an economist like to tell you this, suggests that national authorities will follow their own national interest when they have to refinance a failing cross-border bank. As mentioned earlier, good examples of this coordination failure in Europe are the handling of 40s in the Icelandic banks. But Exante burden sharing arrangements can overcome this coordination failure by agreeing Exante on a burden sharing key. Authorities are only faced with the decision to intervene or not to intervene. In that way, authorities can reach the first best solution. If the social benefits, i.e. systemic stability, exceed the costs, the intervention will go ahead according to plan. There is no fight about the division of the burden across the countries if it's all prearranged. So as with the exercise of an option however let me remind you that it will still be necessary for the regulator to weigh the risk of an early intervention and the nature of that intervention, including possible bailout or partial bailout, against the cost of forbearance. Waiting has the benefit of providing a chance for recovery, possibly a better bargaining environment and above all better information. Of course with hand side it will be easier to accuse the regulator of doing too little, too late. But the Exante trade-off is there and injecting taxpayer money into shareholder hands has a cost to society. This is a cost that the BRD and the SRM are designed to minimize. Thank you very much for your attention.
