Time here for more systems and let's talk about Synology, Surveillance Station and Amcrest cameras. Now, there's a lot of cameras you can use with Synology, Surveillance Station, which of course means lots of people asking the questions of which ones should you use. I have not had the time to review every camera model. There are a lot of reviews out there and there's a lot of good cameras and there's a massive compatibility list as I stated with the Synology, Surveillance Station. Now the Amcrest ones in particular we're going to talk about today though are the Amcrest AI. Two different models that I have and I have actually several different models around my house but these ones in particular are really good at two things. Being able to determine vehicles versus people or face detection. The ability to do that is very helpful for the use case I have for them. Now cameras can do either standard motion detection which pretty much are all cameras are supported on that but having a system that actually can recognize objects such as a person gives you more fine grain control over the alerting. I want to show today how these cameras work and how to set up that alerting in Synology. That way every time a squirrel goes by and you know sets off a motion event on the camera it doesn't trigger the event of showing that a person was there. And this is obviously really helpful so you can only have the good notices and then still have the motion because well if something does happen or the squirrel does something and you're curious about it you want to have those motion events and we'll show it up both on this demo here today. Before we dive into this video if you'd like to learn more about me and my company head over to laurancesystems.com if you like to hire a short project such as consulting for Synology there's a hires button right at the top.

Now specifically the models we'll be talking about and everything's going to be linked down below in the description as well is the Amcrest Nightcolor 4 megapixel Ultra HD PoE Turret camera with 66 full night color vision and I'll let you read the rest. The model number on this is IP4M1048-EWAI. The AI is what allows it to do the object detection and it makes these ones a little bit more expensive the MSRP on this is like 189 and no this model's not 4k it's only 4 megapixel. This is the one I use for my porch and the reason why is it has a built-in microphone and it offers full night color vision. This feature is really handy when you want to know who's standing on your porch be able to see with good color has these two little lights on it right here and these are not your standard infrared rights these are normal like a warm light actually it also serves as a porch light as it turns out they're bright enough for that I only have them roughly set at 50% but it allows me to see my porch at night so if I don't have my porch light on this kind of doubles as a porch light this also is what helps the true color really see the color combined with the microphone and the microphone on here works quite well the way I have it on my porch what this allows me to do is if someone came up and delivered a package it'll alert me that it's seen a person in the detection zone that will be setting up on this it also allows you to go in and hear the conversation that might have been had from a delivery driver if you know someone's back and forth at the door of whoever may be knocking at the door having that conversation that makes it actually really a nice feature future time here editing the video realizing you probably want to know what the microphone sounds like so this is what the microphone sounds like and yes that other noise was my phone because it alerted me that there's someone with their face in the camera the next one we're going to talk about is the MCRES Ultra HD 4k AI outdoor security camera this one is a 4k security camera and it does have a built-in microphone but it's a little bit less useful once things get away but if someone's standing in front of my garage you can definitely hear them talking as long as the wind isn't blowing as long as there's not a lot of other noises going on it's hard because of the distances this can see but the reason I wanted it 4k is so it can look all the way down my driveway get a very clear picture of everything on there and this one is only about 139 and has the ability to determine whether or not there's a person or a vehicle coming in the driveway and set alerts for each of those now let's get into the Synology now this is Synology Surveillance Station version 9 I will do a full review of 9 once it comes out but the settings are the same in 8 or 9 I've been using this as testing and it works really well so far as with the Surveillance Station 9 not really had any issues with it we're going to go ahead and edit this camera to show you each of the settings I put in here I'm making some assumptions that you've already set up the camera you've already unboxed it you've already configured it and has an IP addressing you've logged into it and hopefully you've changed the default password on there once you've got all that done you're going to go over here to recording and we're going to go to schedule and you're going to choose customize one or customize two you can mix and match these but you need to use customize over motion detection because with customize and I choose all detections this is where you can pull from those advanced events such as the specific ones is the only ones I'm using but hey I turned them all on it's only going to send the data over for the ones that are in use so I go ahead and leave it on all detections and I want it doing all the detections all the time now it's still going to do motion recording and we'll cover that in a moment but it's pretty simple just to grab it and say all detections and select all right here then we go over to the event detection the detection source for motion is going to be by camera and then we go over here to advanced event IVS this is where all the boxes that are available checked I recommend checking them enable on Surveillance Station you don't have to worry about triggering a motion event on there because as long as there's an event you don't need an additional motion event on there so if it does face attack trip wire intrusion or specifically the ones we're going to set up is the human and vehicle those are checked you're good to go go ahead and cancel out of that the IP address is 192 168 60 26 we're going to log into that camera now so here's my driveway cam we're going to go to setup we're going to go over here to video detection this is where you can set up your detection area for your motion detections and this is the street I don't want cars showing up on here so I block out these this is a really simple you can click these and set the different motion options on there which ones are you know going to be noticed you can set sensitivity sensitivity areas and you can actually build ranges of each one if you want to have different zones on here that one actually worked fine for me on that then you go to the smart plan this is where it can get confusing with the smart plan we have face detection or IVS now neither one is selected and you can't select both at the same time and selecting each of these if you do face detection you can't do IVS and if you do IVS you can't do face detection and this is where the face detection is and this is where the IVS is these allow you to set different zones on there but I'm not going to use either one of those we're going to use instead the smart motion detection and I've found a sensitivity being at the middle works fine we have it set to object human or motor vehicle I want to know if someone's in my driveway I want to know if a car pulls into my driveway and send an alert and that's all you have to do inside of here now different model cameras may have different exclusions like I said this one in particular had the exclusion on the smart plan that if you turn these on the smart motion detection will work so may have models have conflicts some may not so it is going to vary on model and we're going to show that again in the other camera which also has a little bit different settings for this now let's go back over to the astrology and we're going to look at the recordings and we're going to go ahead and select the cameras and we're going to only select the driveway and I'll show you the difference in the alerts it has so right here is our motion advanced event which means it's seen a person in there for each one of these ones that say advanced event versus right here it's just a motion detection now the thing that's kind of annoying about house analogy does this the motion detection and you can filter for these and trigger on them so here's where it detected motion was maybe something from this car triggered it even though it's outside the zone occasionally you get some of the motion events where lights shine on something and cause the vehicle to reflect enough that it sinks that there's motion in the camera so that does happen I'm thinking actually maybe it was the sign over here that we have in our front yard that reflected it so you see all these different emotion events but now if we filter further we'll go here event type filter for the advanced event search now we can narrow down to events where it actually thought there was a person or a car and here's like the post office they were delivering a package so it sees a person coming up the driveway not motion it's a specifically that or right here I think this one my wife came home last night so we look at this one and the system you can define how far ahead you want even though it detected the motion event over in here it always records a few seconds ahead so you can get the things leading up to the event now as far as quality on these cameras it's actually quite good you'll see here in the car and this is at night you can see clearly what's even in the back of the truck the quality overall been really happy I think she realized there was probably a package we didn't get off the front porch so my wife looked to see if it was on there but easy enough to see these and find these events now the triggering of these events this is where you go to and we're going to go here to notifications and go to the rules now with the rules one of the things that's really important is you don't want everything to be annoying you especially all those motion events we're going to go over here and specifically select the camera motion events and narrow this down connection lost yeah notify me of that notify me of that but specifically if there's a advanced event detected we want this to send me an email and we want this to go ahead and send a push notification to the application and this is the part that's really interesting to me this is a screenshot from my email and you can see LTS home surveillance vehicle detected now the system did not tell you that in the event log within the web interface of Synology but when it sends an email it will tell you that there was an SMD vehicle or SMD person or human in your driveway so I like the fact that they have that knowledge and can email it to you and show up in the notifications on the app but for whatever reason Synology has omitted that information or at least I'm unable to find menus for it or read through your documentation to find a way to reveal it inside of the application itself but the more important thing of course is that I haven't alerted my phone that there's a vehicle in my driveway because that's more than a squirrel running around and I want to go see who's in my driveway and it causes me to look at the camera or in the case of having it as attached email it grabs a screenshot and throws it in there now one thing of particular note when you maybe have some friends over and there's a lot of people wandering around the driveway you may want to put this in home mode what home mode allows this to do is go in and we're going to set up the home mode real quick you go to the settings you want to enable the settings notifications in home mode and what this is is the override in home mode where we go through change notifications and we just have them all turned off because if you were to have a handful of people over and it's going to notify you every time it sees a human in a driveway you'll get a lot of notices of humans in the driveway that you know are already there so it does have the ability to quickly do this from the app or in here for the home mode to stop that from annoying you now let's real quick go over the other camera there's a little bit of different setup on that one now the setup in Synology is the same but the camera itself has a couple different settings now this is the one for my porch we go over to setup go to the events look at the smart plan for this one I'm using the IVS now when you've selected something like IVS these are great out you can't click them until you unclick the IVS one the IVS allows you to set up and design it does load like this it kind of pauses each time but you're able to draw the different in and out direction of a zone and the zones and we chose intrusion we said action appears across at the zone objects human or motor vehicle I'm really hoping there's never a motor vehicle notification but I still left it checks I want to know if it ever accidentally identifies a person as a motor vehicle which so far it has not but it does detect when there's a human in there now the motion events are still the same under video detection it still detects when there's motion when the squirrel runs across it comes across and notices no problems there I just want the IVS notification that way I know someone set something on my porch it'll detect a person coming in there and like delivering a package for example and I know okay it's not the squirrel so back over to the settings inside of Synology here's the front porch camera and I will note it says Amcrest generic this exact model is not in there but the Amcrest generic works perfectly fine for all the event detection because we go over here to the events advanced IVS and all those options do still show up for the camera under checked in the same way so it's that simple for setting up and everything else for this camera is related the same way where you set it up for the customized recording and all the other settings essentially are the same for event notification so you have it set up for these two particular front-facing cameras in my house now some of you may have asked about the real link cameras I've talked about in the past did I have one real link still at my house I like those but I've had more failures with them so for the volume of cameras we installed the values were percentage wise very low but any failure is too many when you're putting these things up and sometimes it requires a lift we do a lot of commercial cameras warehouses and such so getting back to those cameras to swap them out is not necessarily an easy task the overall real link there's not that many that fail but there's enough that I've switched over to the Amcrest so I will mention that if you dig around on my channel and find some of the older real link videos I did majority of the real links have been working for years now without a problem but we also have more Amcrest out there I think now than real link and we've had no problems with them matter of fact I don't think we've had any of the Amcrest ones fail with one exception that could have been our fault is I had a turret cam one of those PTZ indoor ones and we actually bang that thing around a few times before it quit so I there's a good chance it was our fault that one quit because it kind of got bounced around the office and things like that but those ones are pretty cool I might get another ones I think they have a newer version of it but it is kind of cool because the PTZ ones do integrate with Synology as well and if I get one of the newer models I'll do an updated video on my channel now as far as Synology and the Surveillance Station system there is nothing special about the Synology it's running on this is not one of their special or high-end NVRs that have the extra detection in it all this object recognition is done within the Amcrest camera now this is also Synology Surveillance Station beta 9 I will as I said do a full review but my review of 8 is still pretty relevant and 9's around the corner so I've been holding off until 9's fully released which it should be later to cheer before I do a full review now as I said everything I talked about will be linked down below if you're interested in buying them yes there's some Amazon affiliate links if not just you know you don't want to help me out or help the channel I get it and you want to just hunt around for a deal I left the model numbers in there for you too so hopefully that makes it easier and hopefully this helps you out with the camera system if you have some other cameras that you maybe like better or you know know something I don't about how to get those events to show up in Synology other than when it emails me let me know in the comments down below or have a more in-depth discussion over on our forums thanks

One of the most common questions I get asked is how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about it for our viewers on YouTube is create a free mentorship course that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they get started. But please take note that there is limited seating every single week. So please reserve your spot at myinvestingclub.co. Link is in the description. All right. Enjoy the video guys. So today I want to go over I've been doing a lot of like super meticulous like super strategical like moments that matter trading styles gosh I even I forget my last full size super super technical stuff and I kind of wanted to do in like a psychological one I haven't done one of those in a while so I want to go over a lot of the you know the kind of pitfalls that you guys probably fall into that we all fall into if you know if we're not careful and some safeguards against them and kind of how we can work around ourselves as our own worst enemy kind of deal and so we'll go over the market sentiment as we normally do if you guys probably know what's coming we'll go over the key traders a week I didn't get much trades I had a couple of trades I'll go over them and because I didn't have I didn't really trade or really watch a lot you know I'll do the whole like for this week if you guys want to just throw out tickers you want me to kind of go over and you know try to find some trades or see if there's a good trade on a chart without telling me your trade so maybe like if I you know like if I can spot your trade on there maybe it'll make you feel good about it or if I look at a chart and be like do that looks like absolute nothingness maybe you know watch yourself you know we can kind of play that kind of game but you know I'll go over the key traders of the week you can throw out some tickers when we're ready I have a rant ready to go something that's been bugging me and and then we'll get into the psychological traps or pitfalls that I feel like we're most subject to and what we can do about it and at any time in the webinar just go ahead ask questions and I'll you know I'll try to make it more interactive and fun and mods can answer questions too you know I mean like it doesn't have to just be me shorts definitely still have the control right this is still the first dead market of 2020 and probably the only one you know shorts still have that control in the dead markets last week momentum it was literally all-time lows of this year not all-time but 2020 all-time lows and I but this week I believe we saw small sparks but of course all of them got doused right like all of the could be runners got doused with the exception of KCAC today right that's the kind of the sole exception but that's kind of a that's kind of different right I mean we're talking about a $15 stock 15 to 20 it's not exactly a small cap like the typical small cap and it's got like Microsoft Bill Gates news attached to it so you almost don't want to count that as a small cap but if you do count it as a small cap then you know like that's the exception but other than that there are no exceptions all of the small like almost runners kind of got faded out like J&C and Kodak and IGC today right all those are getting doused out so we're starting to see these initial I'll be at weak attempts I think that's a bullish factor on the market yeah not today this is the bull market of the bear market of of this week large caps have really been on a major rally I think that's ultimately good for smalls right because historically whenever markets at all-time highs that's good for small caps the only reason why I think it's diverging this time is because of you know it's COVID is having it's a office COVID is having this weird you know opposite effect on large and smalls right now and one thing I've noticed lately is this week a lot more easy to borrow names and that's really good right because if we can get more easy to borrow names shorts can can participate more and eventually one of you know eventually the law shorts will all get caught in one name and that can be the one right so the more easy to borrow names that that's a bullish factor on the market like if all the stocks are easy to borrow then that's an environment set but it's a bullish environment set up for one stock to squeeze and then another one to follow and so and so on when that huge red candle happens what's the percentage of the retracement of the pop you are expecting I normally like to see it's normally it's not a percentage I just want to see a pop to a nice level that failed the technical level something like this like I want to pop to seven you know something like this I want to pop to nine right like I want to pop to nine here it's not necessarily like yeah like 920 this would be okay there's a nice support break here a pop to 920 VWOT 929 and anything in here would be acceptable you don't get any of that right here I want to pop to seven like like initially you don't get it until it forms a base like and see once it forms a base it eventually goes by but it holds this base for a long time and I want to talk about VRA one more time there was a VWOT reclaimed trade or last year I would have taken this trade maybe in six months ago I would have taken well in a in a better market I'll take this trade but in a better market I will take this trade but I didn't take it now and I this is how I'm using the market sentiment to kind of avoid a loss here hey guys my name is Tosh Bradley I'm one of the head mentors and moderators at my investing club if you have any questions about getting started in trading getting started in MIC MIC in general text me at<PHONE_NUMBER> this is not a robot it was me directly on the other end of my business line and we'll get you in the club we also have special promotions going on that I can get to you depending on your trading needs hit me up back to video yeah so this one was today Bill Gates is the catalyst and so that that was enough for me to that was enough for me to take the trade I was initially long biased on it and you know so I you know I kind of waited I waited for like something to hold some kind of support to hold and I wanted to buy it I did I got a nice sell this was annoying and and so this is when it became really short this is when it became really like supply crowded because like when this thing like tank 17 I was like oh crap I was trying to sell at 1720 that's okay I'll just put an order at 17 I'll put an order at 1710 it'll pop back and I'll fill and it totally was trying and 17 was holding like an asshole and I just like I eventually just had to get it off because it just it wouldn't bounce so that was annoying it's just the last third but I was trying to get it up there and then like and then when a tank down like to here like I was like okay well this is this is a really bad tank let me see if there's a pop to get short and like just like I just went over with like VRA and Kodak there's just no chance because it's just too supply too supply heavy it's just can't pop can't pop and eventually when everybody you know like chases it that's when it pops right and so I actually had a feeling this would happen I got short on a nice pop up here I mean this is this kind of level I got short on the size pop and I knew this was gonna I knew this is gonna stop me out to second I took the trade I was like okay I got filled so here it's gonna stop me out so the key thing about this trade is that like like I said every trade is a you have to lean on probability or risk to reward right and so in this case I was leaning on probability right like and so the key thing about this trade is when I had a line trade I did start early in like the I had some in the in the teens and some in the third and some in the in the high 20s and those are like my starters but I wanted to get the 850 line and that's where I put kind of like the bigger size I put half of the bigger size right there on the way up at in you know in those high 40s as it went up there and then you notice I watched it go up to 50 55 60 kind of let it do that if you know is it just gonna like break is it just gonna like break 50 and I'm just gonna be fucked here but no I it kind of I let it do that it kind of flushed down and then it popped back up to 50 stalled again and that's when I put the orders in that's kind of like me being safe on the line because and I was kind of cautious with this because it didn't kind of have this grindy low scary but here's the thing when it comes to I'm always on the other side of VWAP reclaim trades right like whenever I'm always on the other side like I'm always buying this chart and in another market I'm buying this chart it's easy to borrow it's got higher lows like I'm buying this chart like you know like in another market I'm on the long side and I'll lose if it does this but in an exciting market I'm gonna be buying this chart but in this market I really didn't just I flat out I said at the start of the video like I just don't believe it like the first thing I said right like something like was there any healthy competition and comparing yourself of honestly dude like a healthy competition it's kind of hard to find a healthy competition in trading like trading is a very isolate game like the thing is is like you really have to like you have to I don't know you have to be in your own world I don't like to even compete with my tab like I like trade your tab is like your buddy it's not even like like healthy competition I don't I don't know if you can like why don't you just like the thing is why don't you just healthy competition with yourself from yesterday right like the thing is like if you can if you and someone are literally like similar to the same trader then sure maybe you can have a healthy competition but normally you guys are different like and so it's very hard not like the thing is like if you're in a short week and your tab is short and you're long like it's gonna be hard like you're gonna feel like you're losing all the time and like like like now like you feel like you're losing all the time so let's get into some psychological traps here so there's just one of the psychological traps that you guys can do is create way too many fucking rules right and the reason why you're making so many freaking rules is because you're basically just so freaking afraid right and an example is like it needs to pop to this precise level or oh SSR is on can't take the trade right like SSR shouldn't ever be something that takes you that make that like takes a trade off the table right like it's still gonna trade with price action you just might have to be more cautious and stuff but like or like oh it's up to me it's 1.99 million share flow and I don't trade these right I don't trade these I only trip you know it needs to be above two millions that kind of stuff right like like too many rules too many dumb rules too many too many of too many trade avoidances right I want to take this trade but that volume but the volume candle on but the volume on that candle was too high or too low not enough like like by 20,000 right like that kind of stuff like oh I like you know that kind of shit and here's the one let me tell you this is the one that that I struggle with the most right and I eventually had to go dark because of this and going dark just means you have to kind of just go into your hole and I think traders event I think every trader has to do that eventually traders have to go dark and just go into their own hole and I mean not even like from their tabs like every now and then like a trader needs to just isolate and just do them for like a week or two just to kind of find their own head again sometimes when they just have too much of this crap too much of this phone or too much of this P&L and V shit like too much of this anyway it just it's it gets a little hectic sometimes in your brain and you just kind of have to just like go dark right not all losses are avoidable some are unavoidable and yes you can take it way too seriously way too personal if you're taking trades too personally and trying to really perfect this shit you're just you're building yourself you're just digging yourself into the psychological hole where you're confining yourself and you need to break out of this like you have to be you know you have to be free to to trade yet you know trading is you know requires you to have a little bit of flexibility and rigidity and rigidity right but you are just boxing yourself in because you're too afraid to take a loss right you're creating all these rules take a loss to only make sure you take perfect trades and they just they don't exist that was over 9000 oh that's the next that's that's the next that's the next when I get when I get tired of I poppy which will not happen for a very long time that'll be the next time so for 9000 yeah it'll take me a long time to get over I poppy I still get it I still get excited every time I feel right on guys right on I'm gonna stop the recording now thank you so much for

You're welcome back. It's still the breakfast on PLOS TV Africa and this is Friday and we're hoping that after here you're going to flex. That's why we call it flex Friday. We just take it easy and make sure that we don't wind. But right now there's a very worrisome issue that we need to address. It's been there. We talk about it all the time but it cannot be overemphasized and that is a child abuse. This child abuse prevention is what we want to talk about because this is child abuse prevention month and what are these issues that are most prevalent in stopping violence against children. So we are being joined by Priska Onwebu, a communications manager at CECIARA Foundation Lagos State. Priska, we're so glad to have you join us this morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Okay, like I said before we came to you, some people may be doing the same thing we are trying to talk against today but may not know it that they are breaking the law and they're doing something that they need not do. So let's start with the definition or the description of what you will call child abuse. Can you hear Priska? Yes, yes.  So we have the difference, an intentional act of violence done to a child and we as a child children and people below 18 years, children from 0 to 18 years, and it encompasses a whole lot. We have physical abuse, we have sexual abuse, we have emotional abuse, verbal abuse. So any intentional act of violence done against the child is an abuse. So from beating the child, inflicting physical injury on the child, to verbal abuse of the child and telling the child you're not, you're not, nothing to write home about. There's nothing good that can come out of you. Things like that are abused. So neglect, child neglect is a very big form of abuse. So we're neglecting a child and you're not providing the actual form of care that they need because every child has the right to care and protection and even education. So to emotional abuse, you know, from net that's most of its time, its results into emotional abuse.  You can also have some after penetration, physical penetration in some sensitive areas of the child. When you act against violence or injury on a child, is child abuse? What if when I send a child to go and hope pure water, something like that, you know, because some families just feel that things they do is normal. You contribute no matter how young to the family and you do the things that an adult should do. Yes, Hawking actually is child abuse. Unfortunately, many people don't know that and then they use the story of, okay, we are from a poor background. There's no way we're going to defend ourselves. It is childism, hawk. How is it going to go to school? What if it's an abuse? So this is why we're also beginning to sense pious parents and adults on the need to, first of all about child rights, the acts, the rights of children, first of all is care and protection. Because when these children go out of work, they're exposed to different forms of violence. You see people, most of them are exposed to area thugs, too many people who can pick on them and abuse them. Even Hawking itself, when they should be in school, is a lot of abuse. But parents don't know. So again, it's very much a surprise. But there's a lot against it for people next to know that turning a child to, instead of going to school is an abuse, no matter what it is. The child is born into the world to be taken care of. At his own risk, they are 18 or 21. So it's the responsibility of parents, no matter what, no matter the economic condition of the family, to take care of a child. Clearly, there is no doubt that some modern notions of child abuse may conflict with our traditional values of raising children. We do have that bit of a conflict.  No normal person would do that to a child and not know that this is an abuse, whether you're an African mother or not. So my question is, what government effort, let's assess government's efforts in tackling this and not just bringing it to the bearers minimum, but totally eradicating it in our society? Okay. So I know that we have, first of all, once we have the government has put in place the Child Rights Act, and it's a transition, we have that act in place. Although some states are yet to investigate the Child Rights Act, but I think we have this particular massive progress, knowing that we have about two states now, or the Federation, who have adopted the Child Rights Act, including the FCC. We also have the violent against persons prohibition acts, that's the act. So these laws are already in place, and they have clearly spelt out penalties for any form of abuse. So the government has taken a whole lot of step, okay, in putting acts together. We only have to apply a sizing that states and local agencies should domesticate these acts and ensure that it is implemented. So we don't have an act, a law issue, quote, in Nigeria. What we have is an implementation issue.  The Child Rights Act clearly states the rights of children and penalties for violating a child's rights, and then we have the violence against persons prohibition acts, that also spells out some penalties. Some of them range from continuous imprisonment for sexual abuse to life imprisonment for defilement of the minor. So many other states have their localised or domesticated acts that are against any form of abuse. So I know that we know that the government's already making a lot of effort. Lakers, for instance, is very big on prevention and response to gender sexual and gender-based violence. And already we have children's courts, we have family courts, where they are sent to cases of abuse for children. So we know that the government has been able to have an NGO's like CHR Foundation also working with these agencies, with government agencies, to ensure that every child is protected and every child is free or safe from abuse. But when you're seeing the cause, you also see the effects and all that, or you look at them the other way around. Sometimes there are things that we call child abuse, and like Maureen said, it could conflict with our traditional ways of disciplining a child, but sometimes the realities on ground will also be what will determine what can be done with the child or for the child or because of the child. And now if a child does not need to do XYZ, are there things that are provided so that when you don't do that, you will have the opportunity to get what you would have gotten if you were, I don't like the word abused. For instance, a family that feels that the mother can sell ogie somewhere else and the child can have pure water somewhere else and the father can sell rat poison somewhere else and they contribute all this money before they can get a meal. If you say you shouldn't do that part of it, there has to be some kind of palliative, there has to be some kind of cushion for this family. Do you think that is available in our community? Because if it is not, it will mean that some of this thing will only be talking and we cannot implement because the realities on ground do not give room for the implementation of this. So do you think as you are driving the policy of making sure every child, no child is abused, you are also addressing the reasons why some of these children are abused and I am talking about abuse, not the sexual abuse and the other physical abuse, but some of these things that also present as child abuse, like making them work like an adult and all that. So are you addressing those ones as well with the relevant authorities? Yes, we are. So we do advocacy, there is mostly policy advocacy and we also, we have different steering committees and conducting meetings with the government agencies on why they should have some of these things. So courts should be in place for families and as NGOs, some of us also have empowerment programs for low income families so that we know that they can thrive and they can talk with family grow or they can help, they can sustain their families. Actually for women, we have women empowerment programs and just to support the government because again, we know that at the moment the government cannot be able to do it unless and they cannot be able to do so much. But then we go, we work hand in hand with some local authorities and we do our own bit in empowering the families, mostly women. Our focus is generally on empowering mothers because most of the time, nurses, there are some fathers we have some little work they are doing but the mothers may not have anything to do. So we started some empowerment programs and there are a number of agencies trying to support women and yes, we meet with some government authorities. Sometimes we have events and we collaborate with government agencies or the state ministries to ensure that most of them are involved. You also see the plight of these people and again, we can only do one at a time. So it's, you know, it takes little drops of water that make MIT ocean eventually. I know we are working towards it and it may not be allocated at once. We see fine children working here and there. Over time, as we begin to have the working government that we desire, we can be able to achieve that goal of having taken every child of the streets and giving them the actual protection that they deserve. All right. Well, according to reports, 94 percent of abused children do not know where to seek for help. What arrangements are there for children who have suffered this kind of trauma, at least who are old enough to seek for help? What arrangements are there for them and how can they access these arrangements? All right. So, yeah, you mentioned that four percent of children do not know where to seek for help and is why we actually, that is one of the reasons the Tierra Foundation was founded. The major aim is to ensure that children can access help. And so we do this first of all. We offer a free need of services. Children have access. It's why we want people to know that there's help for them and there's help for children for free, at no cost to any child. It will import the Tierra Child Helpline, for instance. You have access to counselling or helpline counsellors that first of all dare to counsel you on the next steps. We have emergency rescues. We have social workers who are out going to rescue a child from an offending environment and bringing them into our shelter, which is a non-offending environment. We want to go out of the way to taking the parents or whoever has reported, ensure that they are safe also. We provide legal aid. So we institute the case at the police station, institute the case in court and go out of the way to standard prosecution witnesses for the child in court until the perpetrator is convicted. We also do medical support. We offer medical evidence that are important and corroborate to evidence in court. So we ensure that as a medical evidence, for instance, a case of child sexual abuse as a medical evidence for it, and even if it's a case of physical abuse, there are pictures, there are evidence to ensure that this child is mentally abused or mentally abused. Then we offer forensic interviewing. It's something that is still quite new in Nigeria. Sorry to cut you short because time will not allow us. This helps. How do people access them? Especially the government wants, the government wants. How do people access these government facilities or numbers that they can go to? Do you know any that they can go to? Okay, so I'll be speaking of the average area. We have a number of 0800 800 800 1. It's a toll-free helpline. And when you call us, we make the new referrals because we work with the Ministry of Health and Social Development. So if the case is beyond sexual abuse, we do have to refer you to the Ministry of Health and Social Development where they can place these children in certain shelters. But the number to call is 0800 800 800 1. And you have to make child get access to every kind of help. You couldn't refer our sentences. 0800 800 is the number to call. If you find yourself in an abusive situation, especially as a child, is it sexual? Is it any kind of abuse? If your life is threatened, call that number and you will get the help you may need to help you survive. And if you see someone who is in an abusive relationship or abusive situation, not relationship now, just situation, anyone of that kind, any child that is there, a lot of them will not have phones. So it is your civic duty to do the needful and report to the relevant authorities. Now we have a very short number, 0800 800 800. So you call that number and they will attend to you. Well, thank you so much, Priska Onwegbu, for coming on the show. It was a pleasure having you. Thank you very much. Okay, we were talking with Priska Onwegbu, Communications Manager, CC Yarra Foundation at Lagos State. But right now we'll take a short break. And when we return, we'll be joined by Muda Shirushito to take us around the world of sports. Stay with us.


Hello, everyone. This is Roshan Rao from Pune, India. I'm from University of Pune, and my college is PVG COET. That is Pune Vidyardikriya Pune. My mentor is Sharnak, and I have been working on the Hyperledger project named Blockchain Automation Framework. So a big description about my project. Blockchain Automation Framework is a tool to deploy different distributed ledger technology platforms automatically on any of the given Kubernetes cluster. So BAF supports multi-cloud and multi-DLT that is distributed ledger technology deployments and already has the support for Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Bezu, Quorum R3 Corda. And before the project start, Hyperledger Bezu was having the support for only IBFT2 consensus. And so the idea of the project and the aim of the project was to add the support for click consensus for Hyperledger Bezu so that Blockchain Automation Framework can be used to deploy and operate a Hyperledger Bezu network with click consensus. And this also included upgrading the BAF to support the latest stable Bezu version. So the tools and technologies used were Ansible, Helm charts and Molecule, Kubernetes and GitTops. So the project objectives were to understand the architecture of the Bezu and BAF and to write Ansible scripts to automate the task of deploying a Bezu network with click consensus, testing the scripts and also successfully deploying the Bezu network using click on Kubernetes cluster. And to learn more about the production grade architecture of BAF and Bezu and to understand DevOps in Blockchain development. So the project deliverables are as follows, that is Ansible scripts to automate the generation of Helm value files, then testing the Bezu network so that it is getting successfully deployed using click consensus. Documenting on how to use BAF for deploying Hyperledger Bezu with click and also upgrading the existing document with the latest table and the click consensus support. And last was to present the work to the Hyperledger community. And the project execution and accomplishments are as follows. I was able to successfully add the support for click and also was able to document the changes successfully and all the project objectives and deliverables are currently accomplished. Working with the best developers around the community was really a good experience to gain. The most challenging part through the entire project completion was to understand the requirements for the click. And also the initial days were quite struggling for me to make the local setup of multiple required tools like Docker, Git, then Google Kubernetes engine environment and Ansible and Hasekoff vault. But my mentor helped me a lot during the entire mentorship phase and I'm thankful to him. And some of the recommendations for future work are to add a new load on it hash and click network then testing it hash consensus and also to test the supply chain application on it hash and click network. So there were total three pool requests that was merged and the main was to add the click consensus and that is issue number 510. The next one was to add the GCP storage class and final was the last issue that was fixed was to update the document and add other document changes for click. So the below are the links for the project plan, the GitHub repository of Doxin Automation Framework and also the documentation that I referred through the entire mentorship program that is of BAF and click. Then the insights that we gained were to understand the large code base to find and figure out the things that are required to specifically add the click consensus feature for Bezu and writing the production grid code with better readability documentation and also working together in an open source community and understanding the open source culture and spreading the open source culture was a good experience. So some of the advices to coming or future mentees are make a good project plan before starting to code and also figure out the things that are required. No need to it's not mandatory to understand the entire huge code base figure out the things that are required and specific to your task and project. And also ask your queries and clear your doubts with mentors. They are really very helpful and they will be ready to help at always and try new things and multiple approaches and ways to solve a completed task and figure out the best approach to complete it and take your time to understand the code base. The tech stacks and understand the architecture and concepts. And yeah, be patient and don't hesitate to ask silly doubts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Roshan. I appreciate all the great work that you did for this very important project. And this project was recently approved by the Hyperledger technical steering committee as a no longer hyperledger labs project but actually a incubated under the hyperledger foundation green house umbrella. So the status has been elevated we're hoping that, you know, with that change, the project will gain more contributors so definitely your contributions are much appreciated and I really like your reflections on some of the things that you learned about open source contributions open source community and ways of working with the community so we appreciate that I do see your mentor. I should not zoom. Do you have any comments? Hi. Yeah, I mean I didn't get the notifications already. Yeah, yeah, I really enjoyed working with Roshan. And as you mentioned, we did face a lot of issues in setting up in the initial environment because you know, back is for production grade and you really cannot run a production grid network on your own laptop. So yeah, so we ended up using GCP free credits. But the good thing was that Besu was tested on GCP as well because internally we only test on AWS. So that was an added advantage. And after that I think Roshan did manage everything else by himself. Yep. Yeah, sometimes kind of, you know, some of the initial setup and challenges and yeah, you just kind of have to be resourceful right, part of it. Yes, yeah. You know, open source contributor you kind of just need to be resourceful know where you can turn to get what you need. So, so really appreciate your advice and guidance and to help Roshan to complete this project successfully and I hope Roshan you're going to stay involved in the future community. Yeah, yeah, of course. Great.
