Okay guys, I think we can start, punctual. So this is a session about OpenStack quality assurance, a beginner session, so I will talk about the very basics of OpenStack quality assurance. My name is Mark, I've been working for Deutsche Telekom, and I'm a core team member of OpenStack Tempest, which is a project inside of the QA program. So the agenda for today is we will talk about the program, what kind of projects are in that program, why are they in the QA program. We will talk about the continuous integration system, and what kind of system triggers the quality assurance process, and then we will go in particularly one project into a deep dive, where I show how actual tests have to look like and how to write these tests. And at the end we can talk about where we need help in the QA program for contributors. So at first I will start with motivation. So my personal motivation to contribute to OpenStack QA. On the one hand I think there's a lot of discussions about the quality of OpenStack. As I started with OpenStack during the Grizzly release cycle, we had a lot of discussions about is OpenStack enterprise ready. So the question is how can somebody solve this, and I think one possibility is to contribute to OpenStack QA and to make OpenStack a more robust and reliable product. So currently I think we have a lot of discussions about carrier grade. So at least from my view as employee of Telco, I heard every day is OpenStack carrier grade, and I think one of the solutions would be that a lot of people contribute to the QA program and bring their feedback in the community. So this is one motivation. Another motivation that I have is the team of the QA program. So usually if you're an OpenStack or an open source developer, you choose your program or your contribution where you like to contribute. You have a lot of freedom. I think we in the QA program have a really good team spirit. You can join our IRC channel just write a question and you will see there will be a lot of people involved and they will help you to set up your quality assurance process. And the team is split around the whole globe so we can capture all the time zones from Japan to Europe to US. So let's go a bit deeper in the QA program. So the main thing you will have to keep in mind the QA program isn't inside of a project of the OpenStack core. It's usually external so we have a running cloud system somewhere. It could be your production cloud. It could be your continuous integration cloud, whatever. You have one cloud and you want to validate if this cloud works or not. So there's one core project that is called Tempest. So Tempest actually holds all the tests that are run and we have a variety of tests. So we have for instance API tests so they are usually quite simple. They go to a certain kind of API of OpenStack and checks if everything works. We have more complex scenario tests that tries to validate real-life scenarios. Like I want to boot two VMs with a network and try if they really can connect to each other. So this would be in scenario tests and it will validate this thing. We have other tests like more non-functional tests like stress tests. So they run every night and have a look if your OpenStack cloud really is robust enough to handle a lot of stress. Something what is new in Tempest during that cycle is that we are now separating our test cases and the actual framework. So the Tempest lib is created during this cycle and we will enhance it during the next cycle. So one important thing in cloud is always automation. So to really test on state of OpenStack we have to have a tool that sets up a cloud. So in our program we have a tool called DevStack which is mainly a shell script that sets up an OpenStack cloud. So we use this for our continuous integration system to build our OpenStack installation and then verify if the state of the OpenStack that is built is really workable. So then we have another one called Grenade. So I think during the keynotes we heard about something that OpenStack needs to have processes to upgrade the cloud. And Grenade does that. It uses a stable branch, sets it up with DevStack, verifies that the OpenStack installation works with Tempest and it will upgrade the cloud to the new state and verifies if everything works. For sure what is important is that during the upgrade process there must be certain artifacts built that something is really in the system where it can be upgraded and then after that we verify that the upgrade was successful. So this is one, I think, important piece to reach that goal that OpenStack is upgradable or easy upgradable. So these are the main projects that we have in the QA program. So Tempest for tests, DevStack to build a cloud but only for development or continuous integration system it's not a production cloud and Grenade to upgrade a cloud and test the cloud during upgrades. So important to understand is that we usually, for our systems we build an OpenStack and we verify through APIs if it really works. Inside of the projects we have other quality assurance efforts like unit tests. So Keystone, for instance, has unit tests inside. We have usually in the projects other things like code style checks and so on that are in the projects. We usually have other view, we want to have a running cloud and verify it against it. So another thing which is quite important for the QA because this is why QA was started, I would say, the gate process. So the gate process is usually, if you are a developer and have a certain patch or a delta that you want to contribute to OpenStack you have to go through a process. And after many days and many reviews and comments you will reach your goal that it's merged into the master of OpenStack. So this is the picture for the review process. This is quite often shown. So on the right side you see your local environment you are as a developer, develop your code and have it locally. And in the middle here we have a review system. So we do several things. On the one hand we do our automated testing and on the other hand we have manual code reviews going on from the core reviewers in the projects or from the community at all. So if you upload your patch onto the SCARED system what automatically is triggered is a Zoom job and this is our check queue. So here Tempest will run some time and try to test your patch if it really works or not. After that if your patch works and all the core reviewers or at least two core reviewers agree to this patch it will go to the gate queue and it will be actually merged into the master of a project. So I think quite the basic process is like that that the patch comes in, the VM is already built and DevSec runs and creates from that state. So with your patch it creates an open stack installation and Tempest will run all the functional tests against the VM and tries the patch. At the end what the result will be is a plus one and minus one in the review system. So plus one means yes your patch works, everything is fine, minus one something went wrong, please have a look. So let's go a bit deeper in Tempest. So as I said Tempest is the framework for the actual tests. So we have a variety of tests. We have API tests which are trying to directly go to the API of an open stack server and try a certain test case. As I already mentioned scenario tests which is more real life behavior tests we have command line tests so this is something that is important to understand that nearly all the tests have their own REST client so we directly connect to an open stack API we are not using the command line tools but those CLI tests will do so they directly use the command line tools and try to use them. We have some third party tests for libraries that are important but we have negative tests so they are trying to do something wrong and we want to test this behavior if the writer's error code comes back and so on. Usually these test cases are quite simple to read and I think also to write because we are trying to reduce the complexity by using a class model so we usually put all the common functions and functionality that we need into our base classes so here as an example a flavor test so creating an open stack flavor inherits from a base compute test so a lot of functionality is already implemented in the base compute test and some functionality is implemented in the base test case. So at the end we will have a quite short test that possibly just creates a flavor and it's just some few lines because we can reuse a lot of functionality in our framework. So around these test cases we have the Tempest framework where we are currently trying to move everything to Tempest library so as I already mentioned we have our own REST clients they are using inheritance as well so here we have a base class called REST client and for each client for flavors for a lot of things volumes and so on we have our own API clients that are directly connected to the API servers. We are doing a lot of other things like we are checking the response automatically so this is a schema validation so we are getting our results we have a definition how the result should look like it's a JSON definition and we check if the schema that comes back is really that what we want. We have automatic negative tests this is the same approach we have a definition how a request is built and with this information we can automatically generate negative tests like if there is you have to put a parameter for memory you could instead of sending an integer value to this API you can directly use a string and it doesn't make no sense and you expect an error so this is something that you can automatically create out of the outer negative tests. Another thing quite important authentication you usually don't have to care a lot about authentication this is everything is already handled in the base classes in our frameworks so you just describe what you want to test and the authentication will be handled under the hood. Sure we have stress tests this is a special case CLI framework because I mean we will execute some shell commands we have to parse it and so on this is something that is done by the CLI framework important thing is that Tempest has unit tests so as all the others all the other libraries or projects inside of OpenStack we have unit tests there Javelin is a process for Grenade to create artifacts so Grenade is an upgrade framework we want to have some artifacts that we can test on so this is a quite simple test case here that I want to show so the test case just gets a flavor and tries to validate if everything is fine with this flavor so we see only two active code lines here so it executes self-client get flavor details so this is a function that is defined in the client class already predefined and we rely on already defined flavor that is configured in Tempest and what we get as result is a response code and a flavor ID and after that what is quite important is if you have a result in the test case you have to verify if this result is actual that what you want so this self.assert equal is the actual check of the test case if it really works so this is basically a quite simple test but if you browse through the API tests in Tempest you will see a lot of those tests are quite simple and look like this so some guidance how to write good tests for sure the test name is quite important because if the test fails you will see that in the logs and other developers that have some issues maybe with this test they have to identify what is going on there is it something that I broke or is it something that is broken in the system so a test name is quite important for us if you see that in the test file that you are in you see that a lot of functionality is copy and paste through all the files you should think about reusing functionality you put it into a base class or put it into some helper classes or helper functions and reuse the functionality quite important is that if you create something you have to check if this creation works try to check everything right away on the line where you created because you want to fail fast we have a lot of tests thousands of tests that run every day it takes a time I think 45 minutes something like that so it takes the time and it is quite important that it fails fast it makes no sense to create all the resources and it takes 2 minutes and then you check the results check them right away another one is quite important to clean up the resources that you create so if this test here would create a flavor a certain flavor it would be important that you clean up your things that you created because after that if you do not clean it up the tempers won't do it and you have some resources left at the test case run which is quite problematic for production environments because they will have some resources left so the question now for the project where do we need help so as I already mentioned we are still quite focused on quality assurance that run in our continuous integration system because this is mainly the thing what runs I think 99% of the test cases but we are quite interested in feedback from operators that run our test framework in their production cloud or in their test cloud so this is something that we already spent a lot of effort in but we would need help and feedback from operators to get feedback how they use it and what is usable and what isn't usable in our framework so for operators it is always interesting maybe to add new scenario tests because if somebody contributes a scenario test you are sure that your scenario that you put in our code it will be checked for every single new patch that comes in so if you contribute a new test or especially a scenario test you are sure that your scenarios really work in the source tree of OpenStack so another thing documentation and reviews for sure everybody is invited to help in our reviews documentation is something that we are having always some issues I would say in many areas we think yes we have to improve that and if you have feedback just open go to our ISC channel or create box and we will fix them another quite important thing is third party vendors so there is a group that was built calling third party testing group so quite important I think for customers is that they are sure if they are using a open if they want to use OpenStack with a third party vendor like a driver or a plug-in a neutral plug-in or something they want to be sure that it really really works with OpenStack and it is not only a marketing slide with third party vendor tests you could as a vendor create your test environment run a certain kind of test cases that you choose and contribute it back to the review system so this is a discussion or this is a group they have weekly meetings maybe if you are a vendor think about it to join there I think it is a great effort and we really have to have that in place so for new contributors we have a lot of areas I have in the next slide a list of blueprints and a lot of things we have a lot of low hanging fruits that can be fixed quite easily and I think it is really a nice field for new contributors to contribute there as I think I mentioned at some time we have our ISE channel you can just ask if something is there to work on we have a a spec repo so there is all the features where we are working on you can have a look if there is something that interests you you can just subscribe to this blueprint or ask the main responsible what has to be done there and for sure there will be something to do we have a weekly Q&A meeting where you can raise questions and ask what you would like if you are already an active contributor and maybe you are active in another project you can think about your features that you implement quite recently and have a look in Tempest whether they the test coverage is there for your feature for your area have a look if it is really tested and if it doesn't please have a look how to do that maybe raise it in a Q&A meeting that there is something missing we are also searching for volunteers for Q&A liaison which is if you are active in one particular project you are let's say a contact person for the Q&A program so everything what is new and what comes up can be discussed there so this is a we will upload this presentation with a lot of links there you can just click on it if you are active in a project you can think about joining the Q&A liaison so things that we need help on regarding special cases or blueprints and specs that are open one thing we have our design session sessions starting at Wednesday you can simply join our sessions have a look to SCAT org have a look what interests you and just join us you can discuss with us if you want to contribute something just ask us and we will find some things to do for sure there is a lot of current things that are in our pipeline one thing that I already mentioned is the Tempest library we separate our functional test cases from our framework which is I would say quite low hanging fruit because it is just moving code from one to be and adapt it another thing is we need test coverage for sure so if you are interested in a certain area you can just have a look if everything is tested if everything what you expect is tested in that try to eliminate the blank fields and add new tests unit tests is something which we work since I think two cycles and it is still not completely covered so there is a lot of things where the framework needs to have more test coverage so I think it is quite easy so negative auto testing and schema validation at all so everything what is related to schema is maybe quite easy because you just transform an existing API schema and bring it into the Tempest tree so these are things which are quite easy to help us and yes as I already mentioned I think it is quite easy to have contact with us go to our channels to ISE chat with us we have a mailing list so we are using the usual OpenStackDev mailing list with the QA prefix so if you want to write something there you are welcome to QA meeting is Thursday usually evenings or yes we are rotating the time zone so we have one for more focus on the Asian time zone and one more for the US so we have possibility to raise bugs so if you see something missing just raise a bug I think there will be somebody that cares about it and you can create your own specs your own feature thing if you have an idea of a new feature if you see something missing in Tempest you can just describe what you want to have there is a template for that you can describe it in some detail and then you upload it to our review system and you will get our feedback so this is in a nutshell what Tempest is and I think we should take some time to have time for questions if there are some just I think there is a mic about your thoughts on a situation when you need to deploy something outside of OpenStack using Tempest suppose you have DHCP server which is outside which is external to OpenStack and you want to have interoperability between OpenStack and DHCP ok so you mean you have your OpenStack running your deploy application you want to use Tempest not necessarily running suppose you want to deploy OpenStack on one node and external DHCP you want to have interoperability between them so your approach is to run some additional say fabric tasks from Tempest or run something external to Tempest I mean with our new approach we put everything into a library you could use our framework to verify it I mean it depends what you are choosing if you would like you could use the Tempest framework to verify the DHCP is running and to have an end-to-end test the thing is on that is that if you cannot contribute it because you are lying on your setup you have your DHCP server this is something that is not in our continuous integration system or DevStack so this is something that you will develop for your own but you could use the Tempest framework to create such tests and see maybe you will find if you create such tests you will find that there are some general approaches that you want to put into our framework and in our test cases Harsha Abdi from Microsoft building upon the question that was just asked how do we is it possible to contribute tests back into the Tempest collection for example we have some drivers that we test internally on OpenStack how do we do that and just what the process is and also I wanted to find out what is the minimum set of Tempest set absolute essential Tempest set that needs to be executed in other words what is the possible exclusion if you are a voting CI okay so if you have a driver as you mentioned you usually should have the usual the OpenStack API where you can rely on so if you have a Neutron driver or a Nova driver whatever you will have the usual Nova API you have a Neutron API that you can put your own configuration in and you can use Tempest to verify that it should work out of the box yes so and the other question is about the let's say third-party testing so I think I'm not quite sure how defined it is what kind of tests you have to execute I'm not quite sure about that but we had some test groups like smoke tests and gate tests and so on but this is currently not really used maybe we could use it in that way I don't know Matthew maybe you have some ideas but yeah I mean essential tests you can have a look on the defined tests that are running on our continuous integration system every single patch and have a look what kind of tests they are executing Hi you mentioned being interested in people giving feedback on running Tempest on production I'm a bit confused here do you recommend running Tempest on production or is there some sort of set of tests that could be run because I don't feel comfortable myself to run Tempest because it's quite a extensive test ongoing I'm not sure it's too healthy and maybe I don't know about people doing it without any issues I understand running it for staging or QA platform this is a very convenient use but for production I'm a bit surprised I mean it depends what kind of workflow do you have if you have your test system you have maybe a reference system and a production system you could use Tempest to validate just a reference because you're some kind of afraid to use Tempest in the production environment I think there's some ways to make sure that nothing goes wrong you could use some isolation things we're spending effort on that right sure but I cannot recommend to use Tempest in the production environment I think we need to have more feedback on that I think at the first beginning as you already mentioned we can use it for test systems we can use it for reference systems if we see that we solved our issues I mean one issue that we have resource leakages on some places so at the end of the system so after the Tempest run you will have some resources that are already left that are still left and so on that's things that we have to solve but I think at the end we can think on some kind of smoke tests for productions as well so the issue with the gate is that we have limited resources if you want to deploy a multi cluster with a lot of things you will need a lot of resources and we have a lot of patches every minute and hour so that's the thing that limits everything in my personal opinion I would say we have to rely on some third party help on that so that vendors or companies give us more resources to have relive deployments and test it on that machines yeah we have nightly tests but nobody really looks at them so for instance a stress test is something that runs every night yeah this is one possibility that we have pros and cons there because the question is who looks at these tests what happens if they fail if they fail every time sure this is one approach to solve this issue but anyway somebody has to care about that Olivier Jacques from HP just one question about the test that you are going to review and accept so how do you define what are the criterias to accept tests good versus bad tests I would say we accept nearly all tests that are capable to run that's for sure some kind of criterias I don't know which kind of area we don't accept I mean the first thing, the first criterias that they have to really run you cannot contribute tests that are by default skipped this is something sometimes people want to contribute tests because they are currently writing something or there is a bug in it they raise the bug they want to have it included in tempest and it's always skipped that's something that we do not accept I think this is one of the areas where we have some debates about accepting tests whether accepting tests or not but at the end I would say we are accepting tests all over the place for all OpenStack projects my question is do you have tests for negative scenarios like a BM going to an error so you are building in differently what's about it we have negative tests that usually rely on a certain API so they are quite basic we don't have negative scenario tests just in case I'm going to be giving a talk about Mimic it's a mock service that allows you to do such testing maybe you could come sure it's on Wednesday so I think the time is nearly over so thank you for coming


The industry has promoted shakes and bars like it's a health food and that when you go on a diet You should put it in your diet. No versus their convenience foods Yeah, they use it as a supplement that if I couldn't do it through Whole Foods I use this and I've seen this before where I have a client and they're hitting all their protein take and then I see They're getting it through three shakes and bars every single day that client always tends to have a harder time Losing the weight or changing their body composition than the person who I've got hitting Whole Foods It doesn't it doesn't produce satiety the same as well a shake will not produce the same fullness as whole natural Right, and that's especially if you're trying to get lean that is the most important thing you want to look at Well, I would consider like a perfect day is getting it all through Whole Foods Doesn't mean that you can't have a shaker bar in there to hit your intake But I always want to teach my clients to try and get Whole Foods first and only use things like shakes and bars as a Supplement to get to their protein intake because they missed it


Welcome to Air and Vision. My name is McKenna Gott and today I'm going to tell you how to prepare for the Air Force background check. So once you've qualified to have an appointment with a recruiter, you get an appointment set up and you start moving forward in the process of filling out paperwork, your recruiter is going to have you fill out a background check. Now more than likely you're probably going to end up doing this online, but just in case my recruiter did give me a paper version of the background check, you will have to use a computer for this because you have to download an app on your phone. The app will give you a code and every single time you log in there's going to be a different code on your app and you have to type that in so it can validate that you are the only person using it. So I'm just going to go through this. There's a lot and I just want to help you guys be able to prepare for this because it took me about two and a half three days to fill it out. I try to do it as fast as possible, but there is so much that you have to do. It is very in-depth. It is a little bit stressful to try to figure out all this information all at one time. So if you guys can be aware of this and start preparing for it sooner and gathering this information over time, it is going to make life so much easier. Literally just going to go through these categories telling you what they are. Make sure that you are thorough when you're doing this because once you hit submit to your recruiter, you cannot change any information. I actually submitted all of my forms and then realized that the number in my home address was wrong. So I'm going to let my recruiter know about that. So there are going to be six main categories, but then all of those break down into sub-categories, but the six categories are going to be basic information, employment and military housing, friends and family, foreign contacts, criminal record, and background check. Originally, when I very first pulled out my email, I use Google Chrome as my browser and it actually wasn't opening up. So I'll have a link that you can click probably and then if not, they'll have one that you can copy and paste into your browser. Either way was not working for me on Google Chrome. So I had to copy and paste it over to Safari and it was working for me from that browser. All right. In basic information, they go over demographic, your name, your gender, height, your religious preference, phone number, address, where you were born. That's going to come up a lot. You're going to need to know that about your whole family. So actually, that's the next thing that comes up is dependence. So for me, I'm only going to have one dependent, which is going to be my husband, Kyle.  And even if you are separated or divorced, you are still going to have to have this information. So things could get a little awkward if people aren't on good terms. But if you're going to join, you're going to need to know all of this information. So it's better just to get out of the way now and try to find out as much as you can. You are going to have to have, of course, their full name, first, middle, last, the relationship they have to you, their current home address, phone number, and also the city they were born in. That's a major thing that not a lot of people think about, is to start gathering that information. Now I am in the very beginning of the process of joining and you are going to be asked the same question so many times. It's ridiculous. At your recruiter appointment, they're going to scan all the documents that you need. With this, you're also going to have to scan your own documents to verify your name and your age, your citizenship. I used my passport for a lot of these, your social, college transcripts, marriage certificate, high school diploma, identifying information. You're going to have to have your social, which that will already be locked in from your meeting with your recruiter, the city and state where you were born, contact information, and if you have ever had any other names. So for me, I had a maiden name, of course, before I was married, so I listed that. And if you are someone who has ever changed your name for any reason, then you're going to have to list any aliases that you have had and the timeframe that you had those names. Next is U.S. passport information. So if you have a passport, you're going to need to manually fill in that information. Then it asks about your citizenship. So there are a few options like if you were born in the United States or a non-citizen and different things like that. There's a few different options. Asks if you've ever had a dual citizenship and you'll fill out. So some of these will be like yes, no answers. And there will be a lot of things that you have to fill in like where you have lived. For me, this was really annoying to do because you have to list all the way back to where you've lived for the past 10 years. So start gathering this information now. Put it on a Google Doc or somewhere where you can refer back to all of this easier. Because we lived in different countries. We stayed with friends. We've moved departments. So this was a headache to do. And then with each one of these places, you have a status of whether you rented or owned it. And I think there's a few other options as well. I just can't open it because I've already submitted it. Then the address of where it was. Then you have to list information of a friend or neighbor who knew you at that address. But then you also need to know the last contact date you had with this person. Their email, their telephone number, and their home address. So this was a lot of information to gather for all of these places. Oh, and if I didn't mention it, the timeframe of when you live there to each one. No breaks in between. But you have to put like this month, this day, this year to this month, this day, this year. Now, thankfully, there is a little button to the side that says estimated. So on the ones that you're like, I'm not exactly sure, but it was like around this. You can put like the general date that you think it was and you can click the estimated button. But of course, you want to try to be as accurate as possible on this. Then it's going to ask you where you went to school. And this is history of the past 10 years as well. So I listed my high school and then I went to three different colleges. So I had to list all of that. And then within this, you're going to have to list the dates that you went there from this date to this date. You're going to have to have the school name and the school address. For schools you attended in the last three years, list a person who knew you at the school, like an instructor or a student. Don't list people for education periods completed more than three years ago. So for me, I didn't have to list anyone on any of mine because I haven't gone to school in the past three years. So thankfully that worked out for me on that one because this went way more in-depth than I expected it to. So if you guys have been going to school the past three years, start gathering that. Next is employment for the past 10 years with no breaks in between. So unemployment is an option. So I had to go back all the way to 2010 until like 2013 when I started working at Tim Hortons. And this was, I think, my least favorite page of all. Within the jobs, you have to list a supervisor. And then you have to list your supervisor's address and phone number and email. And I'm like, no, but I couldn't even remember my manager's full name for my very first job, let alone like getting his number and his email. So then even, yeah, I don't know, it just awkward. But you may have to do that. Now, I did ask my recruiter and he told me that it's okay for me to list the store location address underneath it. But I still have my supervisor or manager's first name and last name. And then if I knew their personal number, I listed that. Otherwise, you can list the store number, I guess. But before listening to me on this, make sure it's okay with your recruiter. Of course, before you do anything just because McKenna told you to. Make sure it's all good with your recruiter before you move forward with anything. Then it will go into some yes and no questions. I think to fill out a lot of the rest of this. If you've had any military history, this next part is actually where it goes into. A lot of the stuff I said about the family from the beginning, all the people that you have to list, it shows up at the beginning after you submitted it. But as you're going through it, it'll be towards the end. But all the same information applies that you have to fill out. People who know you well. So you are going to list three references on this. It can be friends, peers, colleagues, college roommates, associates, things like that. And this is in the last seven years. So all the people you list have to cover that time frame. So I actually started out with a childhood best friend, someone that I'm still best friends with today. And that already just covered that seven years with one person. And then my next two, I've known one person for like two years, one person for only like a year. You're going to have to have their name, their phone number, their email, and their home address, and also how long you have known them. So for all of these people, like I started from, like a general date that I think we knew each other from. And then I just hit until present on all of them, because I'm still friends with all of them. That's why I'm using them as a reference. All right, with the family that you have to list, I've talked about it a few times. I'm just going to go over it one more time to make sure I touch all the bases. You have to list their first, middle, last name, their relation to you, their birthday, what city and state they were born in, and also if they were born in the United States. If they have had any other names, is your relative deceased, yes or no? If they are not deceased, you have to list their address. Next is going into the foreign contacts. And it will be a few pages asking you some different yes or no questions. Oh, and then on this one, foreign travel. This one was fun. You have to list anywhere that you've traveled to in the last seven years outside of the United States. So we have been to Sweden, Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan. So you have to list the country that you went to, the number of days that you were there, and it does give you some options of a few different ranges. And then the dates that you were there from, and you can hit that little estimated check box, which I did, and then the purpose of travel.  So for us, it was tourism. And then they ask a few different questions relating to why you traveled there. And then we go into police record and there's a few questions, yes or no, about criminal history. And then it asks about drug activity, then alcohol, investigations and clearance record. So this is basically like if you've ever been denied or depart from any government stuff, anything for court. Then there are some yes or no's about emotional health history. Then some yes or no about your financial record. Ask about bankruptcy, gambling, taxes, credit card stuff, delinquency involving enforcement, delinquency involving routine accounts, which personally for me, I did have to answer yes on this one. You don't just want to go through and say no to everything because if there is something that you lie about, they are going to find out because they have to do your whole background check. So you want to be honest from the very beginning because if you do lie on this, it will disqualify you from being able to join. And obviously that's the whole goal. That's where we're all trying to get. So there's no point to be right here at the beginning of your journey and lie and then be disqualified from ever joining again. So make sure you're honest. A lot of this stuff, you're going to talk to your recruiter about. He'll probably go over most of it and then you just have to come home and fill all this stuff out for yourself as well. So your recruiter will give you any advice, but just be honest. So for me, I had to say yes on the delinquent accounts and then it kind of gives you a dropdown to explain and you also have to give more information. So I had to put the loan company that it was through, had to go to that company to get my account number for that, list that and then when it was closed because after that all my payments were on time and all my student loans were paid off. So it's not anything that's been an ongoing issue, but unfortunately is literally right there at that almost, at that seven year period that it's still on my record. So of course I went ahead and put it on here because they're going to find out anyway. And the very last thing, just ask a few yes or no about use of information technology systems. It's just going to ask about if you've done illegal stuff with different things. But at the very bottom of the page, you don't have to stress about filling stuff out right away. It's not going to automatically send to your recruiter. At the very bottom of the page, there is a yes, I'm finished with this form and a no, I'm not finished. I want to come back to it later. If you click either one of those, it's still not going to submit it. It's just for your own knowledge to know like, okay, I'm done with this one and this is all good so I can keep moving forward or like, oh, I'm still working on this one. So when you click yes, it is going to check the page for any errors. And then this is what you want to look for. When I finally finished that employment history was the last thing I was working on and I saw this, I was so happy. So when you see this, you are going to know like, okay, I'm done with this page. I can move on and finish the rest. But when you hit no, I'm not finished. Underneath that, it is going to have a check for errors button so you can go ahead and do that for yourself as you're moving through it to see like, oh, I need this person's phone number and I don't have that yet. So just jot it down for yourself so you can reach out and get that person's phone number. Anyway, you guys, I know this was a very talky video and it was very boring. That's how it's going to be when you're doing this background check. This is literally the most in-depth background check I have ever done and it was so boring and stressful. So hopefully letting you guys know that you can go ahead and start getting that information will make it so much easier on you guys. I hope it helped and I will see you guys in another video.

OK, it's Friday after that. Yeah, so it's just in Mugore. Just in Mugore, it seems like you're starting to go back or coming back. Just don't touch that. All right. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, OK, what's up? Right. And we have the Mwangis. You do not limelize me here. By force, by fire. The Mwangis, by, yeah. My family was entertainment company. And in Batiza, I go by the name Dennis Bovmina. All the Mwangis, and it's Thursday to Dacoa, to Jibangmeh, and let's see how it goes. All right. Now, on to our first story, which is not very, well, it's about the youth. It's not very, it's not a fun story, but it's still a story. Now, on Monday, Jaguar students had demonstrations over the rising cases of insecurity in Georgia and complained about cases where students were being stabbed and robbed near the institution. Now, police used force to disperse students that were causing traffic on the busy Thika Super Highway. One student was however caught in the crossfire as the video of him being bitten by the police officers went viral on social media. On Tuesday, however, a police inspector general, inspector general of police, however, Hillary Mchambay confirmed that the four officers who are caught on video have been identified. All right, so the video is on screen, but just gonna go ahead and talk about it. Suspense, what was your reaction when you saw the video? I saw it in the video. It was great. It was great. One thing, I wanted to give you a taste, peacefully. So, like, I saw it in the video of the police, but then they fired Justice Lee, she was the one who fired her. But they should stop that. Police are the ones who fired her. Police brutality. All right, J.C. I saw it in the video. What, you, yeah, she's feeling that. No, because you're the one who fired her. I'm the one who fired her. I'll go ahead. Yeah. Madam. Okay. You know even the equal gate pass, see, it's not. I think I know. Yes, so I mean. I'll end up in a shop literally a little I'll shop Kuchapo Imagine this is not good If you do one thing I will also protest Jew, Kuna insecurity And that is a fact Here I am equal Having stayed in Jujja for six years Imagine it's there Nivella too You can't be protesting every time This thing is coming up But when it's It takes a certain extent It's too much You see So you have to But see poor It is not good For example It's police service You see The police forces They say it's a police service You see That's the name To serve us See our force Just come and Contain the situation But just don't Alas with students No abaya The moment when Karawana reacts Must dump your old charge Exactly That's really the point Right So actually that brings me To my next question Ask them You're saying it's not right For the police Yes, I understand That was really wrong But is it right For the students What they did First of all They went They cost a lot of traffic Number two What kind of shops Do you have Do you have shops Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have Do you have That's why it is jurisdiction equal. We can demonstrate. Within your school, right? The moment you leave the school compound, you're no longer protected by the rules of the school by any statute whatsoever that protects you as a student. You're now being treated as a civilian. Right. And as a civilian, the moment two or three people are standing together, deciding to go at equal shop, you haven't too. Those are criminals. Okay, let me take quite out. They're students. They're students. But one thing happened, as much as the police actually used force, which we are not actually advocating for. That was really wrong. But at some point, the public was shocked now. The public was shocked. While they were beaten by the police. They were beaten by the police. Yes, they were shocked. Let me tell you something. And this should change. When students are demonstrating in Jujja, this is what they do. First thing, to look at what you're doing, I'm lying in front of a shop. When you're in a building, there's a shop outside. There's a sudden banging of doors. Imagine that is enough indication. Imagine that is enough indication. Imagine even the fear. The fear of the community. Good point. Why are you joking? How do you think we can do that? Why do we do that? The law of the country allows people to be tested. But who will be the property. Who will be the property? The property is still there. That's the absolute right. The law of the country allows people to be tested to get the property. But still have to advocate for force. No, we're not advocating if a police is theислite. No, we're not advocating if a police is theислite. No need to bother about police. We're going to talk about that after the show. But we don't have enough time to talk about it. So we're going to go right to the next story. Kenyan producer, Magix Enga, has called out bongo artist Harmonize for allegedly stealing his beats in his latest song, Uno. Now, according to Magix, Kondubo used a beat he created for the song, Dundying, where he featured King Kaka and Kristoff. Enga told Harmonize to pull down the song from YouTube office his wrath. But bongo stars fans confronted him, telling him that he also stole the beats from a Nigerian artist, Olamide. All right, so Uno is out, which is, it's a banger. Like Harmonize did a tour I could edit video. That video was edited in Tanzania, in Kenya, in Rwanda, in Uganda, in Europe, across East Africa. It's such a big hit. And that is first song after he left Tuasafi officially.  So my question is, is Magix Enga trying to ride on Uno's wave? I'ma kneel to his legit, like his legit heart that will live by creativity, okay? And he deserves some sort of recognition. Spence. I'm a fan of Magix Enga. I'm a fan of him. Uno, he did the same to Willie Paul Chuchuma. Willie Paul called Chuchuma, and he's a banger. Yeah, he's a fan of Chuchuma. So I'm a fan of Magix Enga. He's from Metruzoia. So I prefer him to be a fan of him. Yeah, he's a fan of him. Now, one of the facts that I want to say is that he's a banger.  He's a singer, Olamide. He's a singer, Uno is out. Yeah, so I want to say that Magix is a singer, Olamide. Olamide is a singer, anything.  He's from Metruzoia. Hi, I'm from Kenya. It's different. Right. It's just me bang, you're the same. But there's no one who can beat me. There's no one who can beat me. There's no one who can kick me. See, boom, boom, boom. There's no one who can beat me. It's so different. There's no one who can beat me. And that's the point. Even though I'm from a safe land, because the state has had their customers. My people are thinking, yes, I think really. So this is it. That's the point. Me, sit and support you. One thing, Magix is a young guy who is growing up. They know. How do you make it bad? You can't make it bad. If you want to make it bad, you have to learn how to beat. If you want to make it bad, you have to learn how to beat. He's making up to make a new beat. Right. So. See, boom, boom, boom. You just write on someone else's beat.  For me, it is. But then again, to allow Harmonize, if you want to make it bad, you have to learn how to make it bad. If you want to make it bad, you have to learn how to make it bad. It's not your end and you have to learn how to make it bad. It's not your end and you have to learn how to make it bad. Actually, it's the creative industry. And someone was telling me, no idea is new. Everything you're doing has been done under the sign. So we're just borrowing ideas. But you just don't take it from 100%. You know, as you said it. You know, head of tour. Yeah. And video tour. Yeah. Yeah. They were playing that song. They were doing it. They were playing that song. You don't want to tell me that Magik Senka had to wait until the song has been released. And I was like, it's not my end. Really? I don't know if this is a sign or not. It's not my end. There's this previous epic. They had a song that was also pulled out. Yeah, I remember that one. They also had copyright issues. Yeah. Because they borrowed from a very big entertainment company from the USA. Yeah. So what artists do when you borrow, I'm a stealer borrow, at least give someone credit. Credit them. Say, like this is our dog bit, but it's not by me. And then you give them credit. Maybe talk to them. That's what you're trying to say. We give credit when it's given. Let's start from there. This bit was borrowed from somewhere else. Right. So when we start giving credit, we actually should go back to the Nigerian guy. Maybe the Nigerian guy borrowed. Nigerian guy borrowed. I don't see calls for that. I don't see calls for that. I don't see any problem. I'll disagree with Dennis. Most of the times you're agreeing on stuff. But today I will disagree. Just give me that credit. Sit as you are. I'll come up here. I'll take from someone else. And when it starts with that, it will continue. I'll trend it in the layer. But if you want to buy a beef online in Aisha, I'll be in the house with them. All right. So, Basi, now we're gonna have a meeting after this tour. We'll get to realize it. Thank you so much to the guys at home. If you want to part of the conversation, the hashtag is White if I Four Update. Feel free to tag me at the film gene and of course art, white if I four channel as well. Now Tanzanian musician, dam, platinum's manager Babutale has said that they saw the services of a which doctor to ensure the success of the just concluded concluded Wassafi Festival 2019 that went down on Saturday. The festival was headlined by African arts such as Nigerian artist Whisked and Tewa Savage as well as other Wassafi stars. He told the Wassafi media that a lot of work went into preparations rather including preventing the rains and bringing the sun. Okay now this is nothing new. Let me tell you something. Now music, even the arts industry has always been associated with a lot of us. So Spencer, do you think there's a story behind it? Do you actually believe that? Okay and first, let me tell you a story. Let me tell you that you guys are laughing but actually I think growing up actually had something like that. Like there are people, they're not witch doctors but while they work at the temple, I think they like maybe make some sort of sacrifices.  So do you think that's actually happening in 2019? For me, in 2019, each generation took out my love to me. I did use it to my own eyes. Yeah, so for me it's easier for me, I don't believe. Yeah, so for me it's easier for me. Yes, but for me it's easier for me. Yes, but for me it's easier for me. But I believe one thing I believe the Bible tells us that to make our authority over everything we have I'm starting spiritual and then I'm coming to a something that you can stop I believe the Bible tells us that to make our authority over everything we have we have to create I believe it's a certain event and it's almost raining and the pastors are all over God just help us, just hold the rains Until maybe I've seen it happen Yeah, that's the reason we are talking about See you know you guys, we had damsibah You know it was rainy season Do you know that like we had prayed for it Like that specific day Kusinyesha in between 9 and 4 And do you know by the time Tulimalizak wakeliya flowers it rained After barrier And it was what we've been praying for Sasa tukuge kawasafi He and Ujami kukunitanzan And we are full stop See now it's Kusinye wakusewa Why do you say that Lisa? It's just that you don't know anything G was a doctor If there is no one that has to believe that they have such juju And I'll tell you Before I leave the door Before I start When I go to Sasa tukuge kawasafi I see, I see the Kusinye wakusewa Before I start I start I start I start I start I don't know Let's move on to our next story, now Station Media was in a frenzy after news broke from a Tanzanian blog Swahili Times that Kenyan rapper Prezor was drugged and raped by three women. Prezor defended himself from a story claiming that he is currently receiving treatment at the current hospital. So there's this blog, Tanzania to Badoeva Tanzania was there, so there's this blog in it of Swahili Times. So according to Swahili Times, they actually tweeted and they said that Kenyan rapper Prezor was defiled, first of all he was drugged and there was like a lot of drugs involved, Siju cocaine, Sijunininini and he was drugged and raped by one hour, not one, not two, but three women. But Prezor there, they say, there is no way, that is not true, he doesn't know where people get this kind of stories, but that is not him, maybe that's another Prezor. Mwangiz, I'm going to start with you on this one. What are your thoughts? Yeah, it goes, Prezor has been so silent for so long. A lot of stories need to come after the end of your therapy work. Let me go and be defiled. We do not use the N word on Prezor, sorry, we apologize for that. At the minimum, really? Yeah. Or defiled, I'm going to use the word defiled. No, on this one, actually I would say this one, Prezor is coming back, he has a new song, and he's going to feature at Tanzania and write or a song stress or somebody from Tanzania. True. And that is why the blog wrote what it wrote. Isn't it geeky? But why would you have something so awful? Okay, because, okay, I hope that is not true because, okay, so what you say, people got, these are real issues, people face and it's not even funny. How? Yeah, people are getting defiled. No, no, it doesn't have, like, even men get molested. It's not funny. It's okay, but how do you drag a man? Not dragging a man is okay, but dragging a man and defiling him. I remember in this story it came out, I shout out to a fool, a fool will say, Mom, I don't want you to come in here.  A fool, no. But we're not locating for that. Like, any form of violence against that. JC, what are your thoughts? I think there is something in the talk at Tanzania, probably at a shoot, a video from TZ, and probably, most probably, in a room in TZ, a hotel, and there's a man in the water, he's a dancer, and how are you going to be? Director, director, director. This set has directors and directors. We said, it's a discussion story, and you have to figure out the point, who are the directors, I'm going to discuss it. I'm going to say last week, you're going to say, I'm going to discuss it. I've dropped Weibo. So this is it. Yes, this is it. Spence. By the way, you're going to be a celebrity.  But as a celebrity, I'm going to be a celebrity. I'm going to be a dreamer. Gumu. What we say and what I believe is, and it's actually something in the Kiki world, they say, all publicity is good publicity. No, that doesn't matter. Wait until they say you kill someone, then you'll know it's not good publicity. And we're going to move on to our next story. Now, it took just hours for KFC to find a viral couple who got engaged in one of their restaurants after they went viral on social media. Initially, a Twitter user posted the video to troll the couple, but it worked out in their favor, as so many users and brands came out to help the couple with drinks, food, drinks, fuel, photography, and videography among many more. Now, currently, their wedding is being planned by Twitter users, and the couple are now begging for privacy. All right, so there's this, okay, actually, this is a story that happened sometime last week, towards the end of last week, actually. So there's a South African couple. This guy couldn't afford to do anything special. Second, a two-hour propose. KFC was in Kahawani, you know. And then this person took the video posted it on Twitter. I can just go check it out. Like, how cheap can people be, you know? And then, chaotic. You know how people on Twitter are. Not actually chaotic. Muzanzi Twitter took over, and they were so mad at this guy. So I can just brand squanzai, say it with Coca-Cola, I love to do that. All those companies.  So you have to take care of it. Designers who are dressed, and everything has been planned. And it's being planned on Twitter. Adi, I love that their attention is too much. They're begging. They're like, we know you love us and we are so grateful. But please, can we have a little bit of privacy? Spence, what are your thoughts? I'm blessing him a little bit. All right. All right. Jesse, I'll post because I want you to check it. And then I want you to come check it. Like, what's wrong with you? Atatumia, the least person you expected. And at that moment in life, or at that point, you think you're pulling others down. Imagine God comes and lifts them using you. They step on you. You know they are literally stepping on that person. Who will send your mequa stepping stone out to their success? But I will just pull down. Guys, I think it's high time. I think it's time to go to school. If you want to make it, I will say when you want to pull the strings, I will say it. I'm at her worst. Just because we're where we are, it's not good. It is not good. It is not good. It is not good. And I'm happy for them. Yes. We are happy for you. We are happy for you. We are happy for you. We are sponsored human beings. But we go to Kenya to get a pair of wings. Now, then, is one of your thoughts, comments, if you pay us we go, time is more. I'll say as a... in the Obama... But I'll tell you a minute, there's one thing at that, the guy who was recording that thing, actually I'm going to the deletion. It's called Daddy. It's called Daddy. It's called Daddy. From there. Who say, and I'm the first to propose to the KFC. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that. I'm going to say, I'm going to do the deletion. And take care. That's a good thing. I'll speak to the KFC. What is good will come through for you. Yeah. But then, there's no one. No. No somebody. No. Stop it. What I say is, I'm going to say to KFC, if you see somebody put the gift down, don't try to fight it. Yeah, just hold on. The battle will end. I'm back. Now, we're going to our last story.  It means, has finally gotten over one million followers on Instagram now the cat's Instagram account is Smudge Lord was created on May 27, 2019 with the first photo being of it seated at the dinner table.

Alright, you know, last comments, Fupi, Tukiana, your parka, I'm very mad at it but that's a story for another one. I've turned around everything. I think it would go to go to next. Like me, I actually could do anything but there's only one. And he only said I would have turned around the economy. I didn't say which direction. Jensi, what's your favourite meme from the cat? My favourite meme from the cat? You see him. He's passionate about it but he doesn't like it. But he does it every day. Like every day is a new meme about it. Like every day. There's no one like me who is like Jessica. You said 2019 is my year. And I'm the one who said that. The cat is making a woman in a bit everything. It's so funny.

So you're starting off with Love Spell Virgo. You've been bewitched. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Virgo is like, oh, no. You're going to be, there's somebody. I don't know. I don't know, Virgo. But I just feel like, oh, geez. Keep it together, Virgo. Keep it together. Okay. Okay. Let me just relax. Breathe. Breathe. Okay. Love Spell is kind of like, you are star crossed, starry visions, rose-colored glasses. Yeah. Doesn't it? So it could be somebody else who finds you bewitching. Okay. There you've got the magician. Wow. Okay. Are you a performer, Virgo? You have a lot of supporters, Virgo. What's going on?  You're up in front. So this is Gemini and Scorpio here. So you do something, maybe. I know this isn't going to be for all of you. Maybe you will start doing this. But you're up at the front, standing at the table, standing at the podium. You're doing something. Um, and there are, it looks like you've got maybe some, with the three of cups, maybe some fans, supporters, some people around you.   Um, Virgo, what is the deal here? Okay. What is the deal? It either you're going to be, um, you're going to be getting yourself in a position where you're going to be noticed, or a lot of people are going to be paying attention to you, giving you a lot of support, fan-girling, fan-boying kind of energy. Um, let me see here. Like, they just gave me, I don't know if you guys have ever seen those, you know, when there's like a group, like a group of some sort, or like, like, for example, the Beatles, remember how like the fans got with the Beatles?  That's kind of what I feel like is going on. So I don't know what you're doing. I'm picking up performer vibes with the magician. Yeah. So I don't know what you're doing.   You could even be online, whatever you're doing, and people are just bewitched by you, Virgo. Now, of course, this could always be reversed. This could always be reversed. But let's take a look here. So, wow, this is interesting. People are going to have like a heart attack. Oh my gosh. I see where this is going. It's kind of like praying and dreaming about you or praying and hoping that they get to meet you or they get to talk to you.  So you do have the six of cups and you have the ten of wands. Hmm. This doesn't feel so much like a romantic one-on-one relationship. This feels like more of like a mass, masses of people, right? I feel like, um, they're just saying with the six of cups and the ten of wands, it's like somebody wants to give you flowers or these people want to give you flowers or get an autograph from you or talk to you or do something to be close to you. Um, and the ten of wands is kind of like, I don't know if you have protection or like a bodyguard. It might be a little bit exhausting. Maybe this is the life you live. You might be that Virgo that's already in that energy. Um, yeah, I feel like this is more along the lines of people are bewitched by you. Now, is there anyone in particular that will be bewitched? Okay. Okay. These are the wands and the king of swords. Okay. So there is a king of swords, masculine or feminine energy that, um, definitely is turned on by you. Okay. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus. They are completely, um, like into you. Yes, definitely. So that figures. So it's not just one person. There's a lot of people that it seems like they're just in awe. I feel like the word they're giving me here is in awe, be in awe of you. And this two of wands, hmm, some decision attached to this king of swords. Um, now with this two of wands and they're holding the world, the globe there. This could be like, if it's like a career, um, this king of swords could have this, um, creative idea to get you to go global.  What are you doing, Virgo? You got some Beyonce vibes going on. What are you doing? Virgo, what is Virgo doing? Cause you're, you're like with the magician. I feel like that's the energy that you have. If somebody, maybe it's a manager, um, as far as love goes, it could possibly be someone who's at a distance and has this idea that they want to connect with you. You could live on different continents, whatever it might be, um, making plans to connect with you. But yeah, Virgo, let's see. Okay, that's a ton of swords. So what do you do, Virgo? What is Virgo? Like, what is happening? I just feel like there's this newfound, like, stardom of some sort, um, or fame. It could be local. It could be, you know, it could be on a higher scale. And Virgo, it looks like, and it doesn't surprise me that you'll want to try to maintain your privacy or alone time and push people back or push someone back or push them away. You're very, I feel like with the hermit here, and that's your card. And you know, magician can be a Virgo because it's mercury ruled. It is possible, Virgo, that you might just be like in the next four to six weeks. This is happening so fast. And it, you just kind of push back on this. I need time to think. Everybody get away. That kind of thing. Or if you have fans, which you do, I see like you do. People are like doing some Beatles stuff around you. Like, oh my God, they can't wait to talk to you. Can't wait to see you. They're going crazy and you're pushing back. I feel like I'm telling some kind of, like it's a message, like for someone who is either going to find some newfound fame or increase, go global. Okay, you have, okay, now you have the King of Wands and the Queen of Cups. Wow. So there's a couple people who will be showing up during this time period, like you're blowing their lid off. Like they, this might be a married couple or a brother and sister or whatever. You could have a connection to them, Arizy Osage, Pisces Cancer Scorpio, where they're just shocked. There's like this shocking energy connected to them. They could be like in your inner circle. These two people are like blown away completely by what is happening or will be happening to you going forward. You know what? It's funny because there's no pentacles. There is, there's no pentacles. This might be something that you've been hoping for. I can't believe that all the cards I pulled because a pentacle would represent finances, money, stability, security. Is this going to be something that brings in like a lot of money? Well, let's see. Oh, if you're, if you're doing music, I'm just looking at this hand man and they hanged man and they're just, they showed me this glow and they're showing me, if you do like music about heartbreak, or you write, or you do something to do with like talking about arguments or heartbreak, or you do like entertainment industry, maybe you're an acting or something. This kind of feels like an Emmy or an Oscar, you know, it's upside down, or gold platinum, going gold platinum. It's weird how these messages come out, you guys, because I don't always see like, actually, that's the first time I've ever seen that that kind of feels like Oscar kind of looks like an Oscar. The award aren't as like hands behind his back or something. I don't know, I've never actually seen one just from a distance, but wow, Virgo, um, yeah, you're going to be in line for receiving some kind of an award. Here you go, page of cups, you'll get news about, it's going to come in really quick, very passionate. You're going to get news, there's some, maybe some legal papers as well that you're going to have to, you know, no pentacles, which it's going to come. Let me see. Yeah, there's some like legal news or maybe a settlement or something or some money, like a document that's related to that, something legal. There you go. That's why the Knight of Pentacles, because it's going to take a little while to come in. So I feel like they're saying your recognition is going to come first and then the money's going to flow after that. I was wondering if this was going to be like a love rating, but it looks like it's more about aspirations or doing something creative. You're going to get noticed for something that you're doing or will be doing that's going to put you in a higher echelon that could even have you global. It doesn't necessarily have to be entertainment. You know, you could you could be going into like a fortune opening or starting a fortune 500 company or get like elevated up to like CEO or something, you know, by nomination of some sort. This is beauty. I mean, this is awesome. This is really awesome. If you're doing anything where you're putting yourself out there, this will be kind of a shock coming to you. I don't feel like you're going to expect this. It's going to come out of the blue. Yeah, definitely. Let's get some initials and see our names or whatever shows up here for some of you. Okay, so you have November. So, okay, they're giving you June and November. So between June and November, now this energy might just be beginning, but between June and November, there's going to be some kind of like that's when the energy I feel like is really going to start to take off beginning in the, yeah, the June time period of 61. So we could be born in 61 or age 61, 77, born 77 or age 77.  Okay, 69, age or year. You have the letter O. Once again, you have the letter E. Someone is 34. Let's see. All right, September 2, September 8, age 56 or born in 56 and signs that will be significant to you during this time period. Sagittarius, Scorpio and Libra. Okay, and we did have Libra there as well. Did I miss any other signs? I don't think so. Oh, Pisces. And what else? A couple more. The letter K and the letter A. I just heard Kyo. Is that a name? Kyo? K-E-Kyo. I don't know how to pronounce that or spell it. Or Chloe? Okay, let me get a charm. I'm dying to see the comments under this video. So if you guys, if you're like, this is resonating, please leave me a comment. All right, let me see your charm. Okay, so looks like you have a poodle of some sort. You know, that poodle makes me feel like it's a very classy kind of pet to have. Not many people have poodles. Only certain types of people have poodle. So poodles. So either you're going to be that person. Look, this poodle is like very charming and well groomed. Hmm. Yeah, that's definitely attached to you during this time period. It doesn't necessarily mean you're not, you have a, maybe you have a poodle, but there is an energy here of like, I just heard they gave me that old ZZ Top song.  Well, whatever it is, this is like high notoriety. This is like a high society being elevated into some kind of higher bracket. Yes, the money's going to come for sure. And it's something you'll be able to build upon security, long term security, which is the Knight of Pentacles, but the theme or the recognition, the notoriety and all of that is going to come first, Virgo. So keep your wits, Virgo. I don't know what you're doing, but something fantastic is coming for you. Hey, you guys, thank you so much for watching my readings.

So I'm going to ask each of you in four minutes to talk about what inspired your solution, some of the characteristics of it, and why it is, in fact, game-changing. We can start with you. All right. I've lived in many places around the world, and I've seen firsthand how global environmental changes are impacting water everywhere. Water is so central to everything we do that our civilizations have been built around it. Economically, water is core to almost every major sector, from agriculture and fisheries to industry and energy production to human health and well-being. Ecologically, this is also true. Water is life. Freshwater ecosystems are the most biodiverse on earth by far, and anywhere on the planet where refined fresh water, life flourishes. Because water is so central to everything we do, how you manage water has a massive impact. If you manage water well, you open up the door to a world of new possibilities for people, ecosystems, and economies all at once. If we manage water poorly, this door remains closed. By managing water well, we can become stewards of thriving ecosystems, resilient cities, secure food systems, stable coastlines, and much more. To begin to manage water well, we need to understand it. Now, you may be wondering, water is constantly changing. It's moving. It's mixing. It's heating up or cooling down. Then what does it mean to understand water? Well, water in its journey across the land changes as it picks up a vast variety of materials. It carries with it information about the places it's been. We measured that information. At GIBE, we've built a fully automatic digital water monitoring system. We combine data from satellite imagery and on-the-ground sensors into actionable information. On-the-ground teams use this information to make better management decisions and boost their impact. For example, the World Wildlife Fund uses this information to track the impact of some of its conservation efforts as well as the impacts of dams and mining. The Nature Conservancy uses it to track how nitrates from farms enter the river to help keep people and wildlife safe downstream. Drinking water utilities and engineering firms use this information as an early warning system to be able to take action more quickly and keep our drinking water safe. Imagine for a moment that you would have information about all your most important lakes, rivers, reservoirs and coastal areas available to you. Imagine if you could see the impact that your decisions are having in real time on water. We've enabled three key things to get you there. Firstly, we've built our system for scale. It can be applied to basins, regions or even entire countries, helping you to track and prioritize multiple locations in a science-based and easy-to-understand way. Secondly, water is becoming rapidly less predictable. Rising global temperatures, droughts and floods, storms and fires all have a direct impact on water. We need to enhance the resilience of these systems as a whole and to do that we must work together. Our system forms a basis for dialogue and collaboration between multiple stakeholders around each specific water body. And thirdly, water is constantly changing but there are seasonal and longer-term patterns to this change. We track those patterns and place new data in context, helping you see where action is most needed. In short, water is fundamental to the health of ecosystems, communities, individual businesses and economies as a whole. We need to change the way we understand and manage water. The untapped potential in good water management is enormous. We're here to help. Let's get started. Thank you, Sarah. That was really interesting. And now please let me introduce a video address of Kate Steele, the CEO of Nithio, the digital solution we want to feature today for addressing SDG7, affordable and clean energy. Hi, my name is Kate Steele. I'm the CEO and co-founder of Nithio. We are excited to tell you more about Nithio and what we're doing to drive the energy transition in Africa and reach universal access to electricity. My whole career has been spent working in energy access, primarily developing the market for off-grid solutions in Africa. When the founding team for Nithio came together, we were motivated by the fact that there were great technical solutions for decentralized access, primarily household-scale solar systems, but that they were not scaling as rapidly as they could. We saw two clear barriers to growth. First, there were limited ways to assess household credit risk. For a finance solution, this made it really difficult for companies to assess risk and plan their cash flows. Second, there wasn't a financing partner that could scale with companies, one that could start with them at the early stages and continue to provide debt as they grew. At Nithio, we set out to solve both these challenges. We developed a model for understanding and predicting pay-as-you-go payment patterns and established a financing vehicle, NithioFI, which provides receivables backed financing to large international distributors, small local companies and everything in between. So what does that look like on the ground? Well, imagine a company in Western Kenya selling solar panels for lighting and cell phone charging to households that otherwise have no access to electricity. These systems are sold with flexible pay-as-you-go terms. That means the system only works when the customer is current on their payments, but there's no penalty in most cases for paying slowly. The flexibility of pay-as-you-go is great for customers. It opens up a much wider market, but it can be difficult for sellers and distributors to manage cash flows and even harder to help investors understand the credit risk. That keeps investors out of the market, limiting the ability for these companies to grow. Our AI-driven model, powered by the Nithio risk analytics engine, can determine the different types of payment patterns and predict how households will repay. This information is clearly communicated through our dashboard product, the portfolio portal, and can be used for investment decision-making and monitoring. We use this product ourselves as we deploy capital to enable sellers to continue to scale. Our financing vehicle has already supported more than 10 companies in the space and provided financing for over 100,000 household systems. That means more than 350,000 people with newer improved access to electricity. While our primary focus is on household resilience, those solar home systems provide nearly 900,000 tons of CO2 emissions avoided. We're excited to share this progress to date, but we're just getting started. It will take billions to finance the energy transition, and we look forward to working with partners to mobilize these funds through greater understanding of risks and opportunities. Great. And now, Sally, I would love you to tell us about countermeasure and its key features. Thank you. In 2015, five Asian countries were set to be responsible for the most mismanaged plastics pollution worldwide. And in 2017, governments and businesses in Asia felt fingers being pointed at them because it was said that 10 of the rivers, eight of which in Asia, namely the Yangtzei, the Yellow, the Hai, the Pearl, the Amur, the Mekong, and the Indus, and the Ganges in Asia, and the Niger, and the Nile, and Africa, were responsible for up to 93% of river plastics pollution that ends up in the ocean. But when we at the UN Environment Programme approached the governments of these countries to try and help, there were questions. We were asked, which of our measuring stations were used to produce this data? And which of our experts were involved in the process? UNEP didn't have an answer. Studies were scientifically solid. They were published in peer-reviewed journals. But they were based on estimates and desk reviews. Local stakeholders did not have information on the ground in the water in order to identify effective actions to stop river plastic pollution. Plastics is such a useful and versatile and even environment-friendly material when it's used properly. It's not possible to eliminate it completely from our economies and our lives. So the trick is to focus interventions on the most problematic and polluting plastic items and the most heavily polluted locations, causing plastic leakage into our natural environment. With support from the government and people of Japan, UNEP's quest for plastic-free rivers began in 2019. The project promotion of action against marine plastic litter in Asia and the Pacific, known as Countermeasure, operated along rivers in Asia, including the Mekong, the Indian part of the Ganges, and collaborated with the Pavitra Ganga or Clean River Program of Sri Lanka. Countermeasure collects and shares georeferenced data about plastic pollution in rivers and straits in innovative ways in collaboration with several of our partners. For example, the mobile microplastic sampling equipment, called Albatross, is used in the water to detect plastic items using machine learning and computer vision techniques. Smart plastic litter monitoring, or P-Litter, is a platform developed with the Geoinformatics Center at the Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand. And it makes georeferenced and AI-enhanced detection of plastic leakage sources possible at diverse levels so that we can actually track pollution and trace it to the source and solve it there. Countermeasure counts a few results so far. For example, we've had over 5,500 plastic leakage points along rivers in Asia geolocated and reached out to close to half a million people to spread the word about plastic pollution rivers in Asia. We also confirmed that the use and disposal of medical supplies and protective gears to fight COVID-19 have exacerbated plastic pollution in rivers. And we enabled the development of three protocols of the MRC's detailed methodology for the cost-effective and long-term monitoring of riverine plastic debris pollution in the lower Mekong River. So the Mekong River has become the first river in the world with its own plastic monitoring protocol. At UNEP, we're currently building this use case and others like it into what's called the World Environment Situation Room. It's an environmental data platform hosting solutions to tackle our three biggest environmental challenges, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and pollution. If you're interested in helping, we look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Thank you, Sally, really impressive. And now to conclude, Voron, please take us through to the Amazon and explain to us how Rainforest Connection came about and how it is game-changing to life here on Earth. Thank you, Sinyan. I'd like to start by playing a 30-second sound clip of a soundscape in Panama. I'd like you to listen to it and tell me how many species you can hear. Okay, so what this is, can we play this, please? So this is the soundscape that I was talking about in Panama. If we can turn it up a little bit. Okay, it's not gonna work, it's okay. Let's go to the next slide, please. Can we play that? Okay, so this 30-second clip that you are looking at right now, I wish the sounds were there would have been more powerful, but you can hear it a little bit. You can see all these species that are being detected in just 30 seconds of audio. This is a 2D-representation spectrogram. You can see one of my favorite monkeys, howler monkeys, several calls there, many species of birds, cicadas, other bugs. But this whole time there was actually a chainsaw going in the background, and you could hear it. So none of this would have been possible without AI. I wish the sound played earlier, you would have heard how powerful all the species were calling at the same time. And it would have been very difficult for a normal human ear to just pick out all these different species. As you can see, there's 10 different species that we're vocalizing, and there's a chainsaw that we can only hear when we actually turn down all the species. That was the only way we could hear it. Our human ear can hear it. But the reality is AI can actually pick out all of that. So my organization, Rainforest Connection, we use the power of sound and AI to detect anomalies that exist in soundscapes and to be able to use that to detect specific things like illegal logging. Why is that important? Well, that's important because every year over 12 million acres of rainforests is being destroyed, threatening more than a million species to extinction. One of the main goals of SDG-15 is to actually, one of the main goals of SDG-15 is to halt land degradation and stop biodiversity loss. Our team is a group of individuals from all over the world and we come together to use the power of sound and AI to protect the world. And the way we do that is we install these inexpensive recorders. We call them the Guardian. These recorders sit on top of the tree canopy and you can see one of them on the top right of the screen. My right, I guess, if I turn around. These are the recorders that I'm talking about. They sit on top of the tree canopy. They're designed to record the soundscape 24-7 and we use the power of AI of artificial intelligence to pick out these anomalies that I was talking about and be able to detect things like chain saws that are indicative of illegal logging or poaching which is indicative of deforestation, sorry, people killing animals. But we can also pick out very specific sounds which are indicative of species and these sounds help us understand the state of biodiversity but they also help us understand what we can do to support and protect biodiversity. And that's why it's very important. One of the best ways to protect the forest is to listen to it and that's what we do. Thank you very much. Thank you. That was very fascinating. I think we were all moved even by just the little sounds we did here and let us also be reminded that we are just at the beginning of our journey with artificial intelligence and how transformative this technology is going to be in achieving these solutions. So ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for our distinguished speakers here. Thank you so much. Thank you.
