Mm-hmm, right? Yes, God doesn't exist here. I'm God. Yeah in my world Get on your knees and pray. What's his name? What's her name? I Think his name's Aaron. That's not Aaron. No his name. Okay. Well, I just punch that punch. That's Mikasa Mikasa Yeah, my house and that's His name starts with an H Herons Herons, I don't know Hector does that look like a heck there. It's Hector a German name Herman Herman. Yeah No, it's honest You don't gotta remember his name. Herons.   I would just be like Would you wipe my tears?  Okay. Oh, she saw something Did she see the future? The future cuz that's a funny thing that looked like her and her rinse what I don't I don't know his his new name is Herons, that's it.  Yes, Herons.   You don't need to come down my throat like that. I'll come down your throat all I want What a beautiful wall Follows on Gina so you read the title of the episode You're not supposed to They always got mad at me for that title of the season What am I supposed to do not look at the big white letters on the next time? It's called that day the fall of Shigen Shina. So I wonder what's gonna happen. It was what the first episode was called to And then I was like John Cena John Gina Bing Shaling Get it right That's pretty good. Are you Chinese? That's what Wubby said Wubby was reading Chinese in the video that I showed you. Yeah Who's a young see that sounds natural if I did it they'd say I'm racist who shang John who shang John They're just standing there all chill. Yeah Yeah, they're all gonna get away safely Oh Yeah, tell them why you thought his name was Arvin I thought his name was Arvin because subconsciously I was thinking of Arvin from Pokemon Scarlett and I didn't understand why that came So I said Arvin and I didn't remember that was from Scarlett and I was like Why did I say that and then we were sitting on the couch editing and I was like wait Pokemon Scarlett that I've been binging. That's the storyline. I almost finished somebody in the comments got it Somebody in the comments was like she was playing Pokemon and chainsaw. That's where she got Arvin from And I was like Shina floor with her just just tell the truth. You don't get a lie like I do You've watched a show before This thing this Titan always freaks me out. Oh I love this Drown They're missing every shot. Yeah, right. It's anime. They miss every shot something like this needs to happen here Excitement, it's called 9-eleven Can't believe you said that you're trying to get me demonetized. No, I'm using you for the views and you're saying 9-eleven My man, oh Damn almost said it will the wall break hurry up.  He's crying cuz he's like is mobile Oh It's his fault. All right What do you think was happening there? His dad's giving him an antidote Yeah, yeah, what else? I think like he got so angry that he was about to have like an episode and so his dad give him an antidote to keep him chill Okay, okay. I think his dad I at this point after that scene.   Yeah, you would say that I'm a man.  That's why when I have a kid I'm a give him love Doesn't that look familiar this one. I'm role play like this Can I enjoy the music no not that way Grandpa died his dad. No, his parents are dead already. It's his grandpa Literally just said before grandpa got us this bread and he said like my mom and dad died. Do you read? Are you literate? So now they're 11.  I'm just guessing. Do I know their age? I don't know your age. You could be 15 Why is that look at her eyes how about the guys in a bag No, why not? How about the guy in the back? Yes, or no, no way, right? That's I'm a side character. My life means nothing written all over his face That's me if I was in an anime another main character Because you got lipstick Where's his dad because his dad went back to find him? I'd like to know where he is too. He went to the store and never came back to be continued Yeah, he went out to get milk. He's not coming back Well, don't read it. Why then why would they put in the beginning don't read it closer? Did you even know what it says did you read it?  I'm I'm the angry bullman. Yep Who is he? That's right Wagner I remember him Feel like I'm watching a different show right now. I forgot who these people are There's John John Billy John.  He's a what?  He said he wants to be a police officer.  Oh She's a main character because she's eating where's Mikasa? Tato now, you know I said potato Sasha blouse. She's gonna give him the smaller half Oh That was an interesting show See how the banjo came on now. It's all happy now. It's a tack on Titan. Well, we're happy now no more deaths Wait, it is me. Oh my god. I'm dumb. Oh my god. I'm so dumb. Oh my god She's heard up and put on some lips.   I didn't grow up like that.  I Know that Domo is like the most casual. Thank you So that's like if you say you love me and I was like, thanks No, no, it's something it's okay. So in this regard, it's just it's kind of disrespectful that she said that but between me and you like We could say Domo to each other. Okay.  That was a good observation Of course, that's a main character move I have the trampolines that you go like that and the wires pull you up and stuff.   They all look the same. It's like the same person Say that again be as fuck, dude. I do that to ghost Ghosts is her dog. Yeah, by the way Perfect on your first try Mi Gaza was Why she's a woman for guys just hanging out They come from a small village so they're not from where they're from it's another village Are these guys main characters potentially potentially They're not really important. Yeah, you're not gonna see them that much They're important for this for this part of the story one.  Is it a common name? No I hope not. Okay, so you just made that bet so you never had to kiss me again. Yeah bar Bartleby That wasn't that bad that might as well be his name Barney just call him anything. That's what I do.  Yeah, that's blow job. Yeah, that's blow job So blow job does this No, he doesn't A blow blow job why no, he doesn't I never said that When I say that in the first video. No, I did it. What does that mean? He did it's cuz he's hungry. He starts eating himself video, too. I Hate when he show flesh back to me. It makes me sad again Was his belt sabotage Was his white he said you and recheck everything. Yeah Was his sabotage? Yeah His name is Brian Does that say Brian?  Yep Even with a broken belt.  No, she sabotaged it cuz she wanted him to go home.  I got about this song. Yeah, that's true Yeah, baby. All right, baby You saw these two episodes. What do you think? I liked it a lot. You liked it a lot. I want to keep watching I know but we have dinner and it's New Year's Eve.   No, you're putting something sweet. Yeah, but this is better. It's good. Nothing comes close It is. We could do more later. No, no, no now. I Don't want to eat. I want to just watch this. I'm hungry. Any favorite characters yet? I like The girl that brought bread to the potato girl. You okay. I like her.  Yeah, and then I like I like I like Mikasa. She's kind of like Okay, why cuz she's like we'll go to the to the to the The farmlands together or whatever they call it. Yeah And then she's like he did it because he wants to stay with me and I'm like You think she's delusional well cuz literally his his eyesight is straight to I want to kill Titans I don't have time for relationship and she's like I'm just following him because I love him Wow, which Not the right reason to fight a war. Yeah, I know how about Armin or Arland Arvin. How do you feel about Arvin? I haven't seen enough of him yet. Okay, so he's just there right now He's just a number three. Okay. How about potato girls, Sasha? Girls cool. I think she's she's she's a lot. She's a lot. Yeah, should we do your name a lot of people requested that? I'd like to I've never seen it guys. Let us know down below. Should we do your name together?


Hello everybody, E here. Welcome to Top 5 Friday. There's going to be a new, there's going to be a new Top 5 list every single Friday from here on out, hopefully. To help out with this, I have the next probably 6 to 10 weeks roughly. I don't know, some ideas may drop off, some ideas may not, I don't know, it may add to it. I have about the next, let's say roughly the next 8 weeks planned out for this series. It's something that I can sustain, but if you guys would like to see any Top 5 videos, leave it down there in the comment section and I will think about it, I will think about doing it. It doesn't have to be just books, it can be anything. If you want to see me do Top 5 live stock, I don't care, whatever. Today we are talking about the Top, my Top 5 audiobooks. I'm a big fan of audiobooks, especially when I'm walking, while I'm playing Candy Crush, oddly enough. It's just a way to kick back and relax and still get some kind of content coming into my brain hole. So the first one I want to talk about is 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill. It's read by David Ladoe, Ladoe, something like that. David Ladoe, Ladoe, I'm going to call him Ladoe, I think that fits better. I might be wrong, but David Ladoe is not good for everything that he's done. What I mean by that is he did Greg Isle's Natchez burning, and it was awful. His delivery did not fit with the Southern aspect of the book whatsoever. He has a very unique style, and it fits really well with horror or more of a California type. California or even maybe even New York kind of vibe to it. It definitely doesn't work for anything Southern, which is funny because I think the guy is Southern. I could be wrong. But I remember reading an article about him when I went to look up his other audiobooks. But 20th Century Ghosts is one of my favorite audiobooks because of his performance. My favorite performance of him is in the story Pop Art. It was very good, but the entire collection is fantastic. At number four, I have Nosferatu by Joe Hill also. Yes, we got two Joe Hill's on the list. I apologize, but I couldn't pick any other books than these five. It's read by Kate Mulgrew. I think I'm pronouncing that right. She's in Orange is the New Black. You probably know her from there. But her Charlie Manx is one of the scariest readings I have ever listened to in an audiobook. She nailed that. In fact, the only one that's scarier is my number one spot. But Nosferatu is a great story on its own. But Kate Mulgrew, in fact, I would even hazard a guest to say that I like the audiobook just a smidge more than I like the actual novel itself. Because of her reading of it. Next up, we have probably my favorite narrator of all time is Will Patton. And he reads James Dickey's Deliverance. If you have not read Deliverance, I highly suggest it. I highly recommend it. The movie is good also. But the book by Will Patton. Will Patton nails that type of delivery. He nails the southern, I don't want to say southern noir, but I guess it's a very dark story. He nails that southern attitude. And I really enjoyed it. If you're not into the whole Deliverance southern thing, Will Patton also does several of Stephen King's audiobooks. Excuse me. He's done Revival, which is fantastic. He's done, he did all three of the Mercedes trilogy, well, the Hodges trilogy books. And he also did the newest one, The Outsider, and they're all great. Will Patton is, oh, and he also does some of, what's his name, RoboShow. I forget the author's name. I know I got James Lee Burke. That's his name. He does some of the RoboShow books. I'm not sure he does all of them, but I know he does a lot of them. Next up is Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, read by Gary Sinise. I wish Gary Sinise read more audiobooks because he's amazing at what he does. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and say he's better in audiobook than he is on camera, and I love his acting. Everything he's ever been in, in fact, Imposter is one of my guilty pleasures because he was so good in that movie. But Of Mice and Men is one of my favorite stories of all time, and I guess it's kind of a running theme with this is not only are these great books, but these are great books elevated to the umpteenth level because of a great narrator. And finally, we probably all knew this was coming. If you know me personally, you knew this was coming, but Stephen King's It, as read by Stephen Weber. It's probably the most bang for your buck that you can get, period, for an audiobook. It is such a long story told in such a perfect way. Stephen Weber is probably the scariest Pennywise I have experienced, even scarier than the new Skarsgard version. His reading of It is terrific. I have not read, I have not listened to anything else by Stephen Weber. I have not looked for anything else. I don't know why I just haven't. Unlike Ladoe and Samisse that I actually went and looked to see if these guys did something else, and of course Patton. I have not checked out to see if Stephen Weber does anymore. Stephen Weber was on, I think it was Wings, and he was also in the TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining. And I think it was about the time that he did The Shining, that he recorded It. Anywho, but that's everything. If you listen to audiobooks, let me know some of your favorites down there. Give me your top five list. If you have your own video for top five audiobooks, or any of the lists coming up. If you have a video, please share it down in the comments below. And hopefully my followers, fans, all those guys will hop over to your video. So I am inviting you, now is the time, if you would like to share your own list, please do so down there in the comments. But until next time, I have an E, you, and you. This has been Top Five Friday. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!


Hello and welcome to a summary of all you need to know about the poem at 39 by Alice Walker. I'll explain the meaning related to this poem as it appears in part 3 of the Pearson-Edexcel International GCSE anthology. Now do bear in mind that in contrast to part 1 of the anthology which featured only nonfiction texts, and part 2 which was a mix of fiction short stories and poems, part 3 of this anthology exclusively features poems alone so in this video I'll highlight key language and literary devices used in the poem and you'll learn how to analyse it. So let's get started. Now what I'll do is I'll read through parts of the poem, pause every so often, and then point out important language and literary techniques. Let's first start with these two stanzas. How I Miss My Father I wish he had not been so tired when I was born. Write in deposit slips and checks, I think of him. He taught me how. This is the form he must have said. The way it's done. I learned to see bits of paper as a way to escape the life he knew and even in high school had a savings account. Now this poem is really really powerful because it essentially seems to be almost a eulogy of somebody's parent who's passed away more specifically. This poet, this speaker's parent and the father has passed away and they really miss them and seem to be reminiscing on all the good things that the father did and how positively the father impacted their life. Now the title itself, Poem at 39. Now do bear in mind that this poem is written in free verse and it's an autobiographical poem of Alice Walker's own parent, her father, as it celebrates her father and the influence that he had on her life. However you can also interpret it a bit more broadly in terms of how this narrator, the anonymous speaker, however we can presume is Alice Walker. We can interpret it as somebody referring to how important the role the parent has played in their lives and the role particularly the father has played in their lives. Now in the title, the mention of 39, essentially this means that it was very written likely when Alice Walker herself was 39 years old. Now the first line of the first stanza, How I Miss My Father, this line is actually repeated in line 25 as you'll see when we go further on in the poem. Now what this does, this repetition, is it emphasises Alice Walker's intense grief at losing her father and the significance it's had on her life but of course you can also interpret it as it just shows the intense grief of the narrator and losing their father. Moreover in line 2 they state, I wish he had not been and the monosyllabic language here is really simple showing that the speaker misses all aspects of her father and we learn that he was so tired and this intensifier shows just how difficult life likely was for the person's father as they were raising them, probably in poverty and however in spite of all of that the father tried their best to give this narrator a really good life. Moreover there's a lot of Anjom Mont used here and what this shows of course it adds to this dramatic monologue but it shows that this poem is almost a constant stream of thought by the speaker and of course do remember that Anjom Mont does also speed up the pace of the poem. Now in line 5 there's a single word born and what this shows is that this stanza starts with the recollection of the speaker of her father from her birth so do remember that autobiographically speaking in context she's speaking Alice Walker is the youngest of all children so she's remembering how she was like when she was born but equally how perhaps her father must have been really tired by the time she was born but he still wanted to be a good dad to her he wasn't disillusioned he wasn't tired from having his previous children he wanted to still be the best father to her. Now in the following verse we learn that he was right in deposit slips, checks then there's a mention in line 16 of savings account and of course in line 17 too. This belongs to the semantic field of business and money and what this does is it emphasises the her father's frugality it also to some degree emphasises the lack of money that they must have had but also the father's focus on handling finances so even if they didn't have that much her father was really really focused on not being crippled by bad debt and not being crippled by bad finances and he passed on this message to his daughter the narrator then the narrator states, I think of him and the repetition of the first person pronoun I this is an unauthoric reference back to the speaker it places the speaker this narrator centre point in our focus now in line 8 we learn he taught me how now what this shows and especially the alliteration he and how it shows that despite being tired her father set time aside to teach and empower her to teach her about money but also to teach her about how to survive and even thrive in what can be a fairly difficult and challenging environment moreover in line 9 this is the form now the alliteration this and the echoes and emphasises her father's direction when he's teaching her okay this is the form this how you fill in a deposit slip this how you fill in a check and so on so he really took time to teach her about finances which in many poor households is not really well taught moreover in line 11 the way it has done what this declarative sentence does is it emphasises the importance of education that her father placed both on education at home but also an education both in school and in other aspects of life furthermore we learn that the narrator learned to see bits of paper now this is quite informal very conversational and this is echoing the idea that this is a constant stream of thought the narrator is telling us this as they just casually recall all of these different incidences from her past with her father now in line 14 she saw these bits of paper as a way to escape and the mention of escape highlights the importance of saving and looking at money as a tool to secure financial freedom and this is what her father taught her which is a vital life lesson that she feels she really really felt imparted upon now she then mentions to escape the life he knew and what this shows is the narrator's wistfulness her sense of regret that her father had to live such a difficult life so let's carry on he taught me that telling the truth did not always mean a beating though many of my truths must have grieved him before the end how I miss my father he cooked like a person dancing in a yoga meditation and carved the voluptuous sharing of good food now here we learn again that her father carried on teaching her important lessons now this is a repetition of line 8 which emphasises how critical education is for her father in line 19 she learns that telling the truth does not always mean a beating now the alliteration telling the truth emphasises the importance that her father taught her of being morally upstanding and of course being morally upstanding being honest, being direct didn't always lead to corporal punishment the reference to a beating refers to in some households where you're physically beaten for doing something wrong for wrongdoing and even especially for admitting truthfully that you did something wrong however she's showing actually as opposed to this approach her father would also reward her without a beating if she was honest and so of course this shows that her father was actually very tender towards her now we learn that she states many of my truths now this possessive pronoun shows she takes ownership of her own learning and her own empowerment but also she emphasises that as she grew older she started diverging in some of her views from her father and she really respects how he respected that now her reference to the abstract noun truths is mysterious because we're not entirely sure what did she learn as she was growing older that maybe might have diverged from her father however even if we don't learn that that's not the important thing, the important thing for her is that her father accepted her views, her truths in spite of maybe not always agreeing with it now we learn that her truths must have grieved him and what this is showing us is that as she grew up she became independent with her own thoughts which probably must have clashed with her father's views he must have felt sad at some of these thoughts he still respected it and the euphemism before the end, what this is is a euphemism for death and so she's reflecting that her father even if they didn't necessarily agree on certain things he still respected it although he did probably hold in his heart a sadness that they were becoming so different as she was growing older then of course as I mentioned line 25 is a repetition of line 1 which shows the emphatic and emotional state that the narrator is in as they're really really regretting not having had enough time with their father how I miss my father and this is also an exclamatory sentence then we learn that her father cooked like a person dancing now the simile here shows her father was really joyous in an effortless way and she really really admired that and we learn that he cooked like a person dancing in a yoga meditation also this shows that a really interesting kind of image in our minds of someone who's quite peaceful but also quite joyous in an effortless way now he craved the he carved or rather he craved the voluptuous sharing of good food now what this shows is that he used to cook copious amounts and share it with everybody so he was really really generous carry on now I look and cook just like him my brain light tossing this and that into the pot seasoning none of my life the same way twice happy to feed whoever strives my way he would have grown to admire the woman I've become cooking, writing, chopping wood and staring into the fire now this final part of the poem shows that actually her father was successful in imparting and teaching her the important life lessons as I look and cook and the rhyme here look and cook shows she takes pride in having learned so avidly from her father and now imitating him, moreover the semantic field of cooking is used cook, pot, seasoning and cooking and what the semantic field of cooking and food does is it shows that food was very likely a way that she connected with her father moreover in line 34 she mentions tossing this and that and the alliteration tossing this, that shows that just like her father she too is really effortlessly joyous moreover she says seasoning none of my life the same way twice and what this shows is that she inherited her father's creative flair both in the kitchen when it came to cooking but even in her life she always looked for excitement she never got or settled into boredom or did the same thing twice too often then she mentions happy to feed whoever strays my way and she inherited his generosity very likely of course when it came to cooking and sharing her food but also this is a metaphor for how she inherited his generosity when it came to sharing happiness with others sharing the good side of herself with other people as her father did now in line 40 she mentions she would have grown to admire now what this shows is that the speaker is really proud of the person she's become thanks to the influence that her father has had on her and the reference to the woman this actually contrasts with the reference to born in stanza 1 in verse 1 because this shows that her journey is now coming full circle and also if you think about the title it's coming full circle because she's now 39 she's reflecting on all the 39 years that she's lived but also reflecting on how her father impacted the way she's lived her lifestyle for those 39 years moreover there's the ascendotin that's used cooking, writing, chopping wood and what this does is it shows she's become just as fastidious and hardworking as her father now she's staring into the fire and this present continuous verb shows she's been quite meditative and reflective as she thinks about the life of her father and finally the reference to fire of life and vitality she still has life within her however she is reflecting on how she can make the life within her even better for the remainder of her life as she thinks of the life that her father has lived so that's all if you found this video useful do note that we have an in depth extensive course covering all the texts and poems in parts 1, 2 and 3 of the

A police car chased through Bemidji and it when the driver of the vehicle crashed into a church. It happened Tuesday night on Bemidji Avenue North at the first Lutheran church as Mel Meyer reports from the scene. I am here at first Lutheran church in Bemidji where a car has hit the side of the church behind me around 10 o'clock. Police aren't releasing much details but say that the driver of the car was being pulled over by the police and she may have lost control of the car and hit the side of the building. They say the unidentified driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. She is being treated at this time. She is not in custody. In Bemidji I'm Mel Meyer, Lakeland News. The driver of the vehicle has not been charged with a crime and was placed on a 20 72 hour hold at a local ER.

So I'm George Wilson and I am the security development team lead in the IBM Linux technology center And I've been working in the LTC now for about 14 and a half years and slowly we've been rolling out various security improvements we now are primarily focused on the power platform and and We've been working to Think about how we might extend Our boot security up into guest land. I promise you this will not be a very long Presentation because we haven't put a lot of thought into it yet.  So Just so you're aware of that so I presented last year on Adding secure entrusted boot to our open power host platform and This is all well and good Claudio's talked about Our work and and how we're using the TPM as our root of trust for OS is Gurney's talked about secure virtual machines, but what about ordinary? guest boot security This is something that we have left unaddressed thus far and We've just started having some internal conversations about it. So this is really an externalization of some of those internal conversations we've had with our Colleagues who work in the power of EM security side of things So Guests should have boot security as well as hosts and those keys should be manageable by administrators Much as they are for hosts You may want You're on Colonel signed under your own key authority There are any number of reasons that you may want to provide an experience in the virtual Environment very much like the host environment secure boot is required For the operating system protection profile for that one and higher This doesn't exclude guests so we need to get our act together if we're going to meet the requirements of that protection profile and There has been some thought as to how we would do secure boot on power VM logical partitions whatever we do for Linux needs to be compatible with what we're doing for AI X and that's an important consideration here and We also want to reuse the same work. We're doing for the host environment We don't want to have a different signature format say for for these kernels than we do for the host kernels So this is a celebrity diagram is sort of a condensation of what I had presented last year we've implemented the Entire firmware stack all the way up through Ski root at this point, which is the Environment that it's an init ramfs environment Running Linux and it has the petty boot application that launches the final kernel and You know, we've had the our lower firmware folks add instrumentation for trusted computing we extend those out to the the TPM and We're currently working on securely booting the OS kernel and It's as I said last year It's more difficult than you might think and and it has proved to be more difficult than we even anticipated but We're learning through the design process and I think we're pretty close to having a reasonable design and and Actually realizing a full end-to-end secure boots Hopefully by the end of the year. I think that's that's that's that's my tentative stake in the ground, but anyway This is a fairly Complex environment, there are a number of layers to it and You know, it's it's much more complex than the guest environment So and this is kind of running off the page, but So anyway the power vm Guest boot environment so this runs on top of the power vm hypervisor Which is a bare metal hypervisor that is IBM's proprietary hypervisor that's been running on our power PC servers since the early 90s and So it already is verified by the hosts of cure boot mechanism And There is firmware that's provided For the logical partitions is just part of our firmware stack and and that's open firmware we you know refer to it as partitioned firmware and The AI x bootloader and kernel are shipped together as a unit and The big difference on Linux here is you know, it's it's not just some Blob it's separated into a bootloader and a kernel and So And and this this is how it's Actually done for KVM There's a different Firmware component. We don't have partitioned firmware. We have this this Linux host QMU and then slimline open firmware, which is as the name implies a smaller version of partitioned firmware that provides hypercalls and and all the things that Largely partitioned firmware provides on power vm And generally, you know, we use grub to load the guest kernel. So we we have these these sort of two different Environments one provided by power vm and then one provided by KVM running on open power So two different hypervisors two different firmware stacks So there's a proposed scheme for securely booting These Kernels on power vm We already have this convenient Container encapsulation format not to be confused with user space containers, but Just an encapsulation structure and That's what we use for encapsulating the pieces of our firmware for host secure boot. So our Power vm firmware folks said well, we have this structure already. Why don't we reuse it and Instead of having Here's here's a picture of the structure from last year's presentation so instead of Having hardware keys and firmware keys. Why don't we have firmware keys that sign software keys? and so that's how they're encapsulating the AIX bootloader and guest kernel and And This is provided by IBM has an IBM public key very straightforward complete IBM blue stack there and Everything you need can can be provided just with a simple firmware load and then The the boot loader and kernel will be verified when you boot But you know, we we have a problem when we Have to boot up our KVM guests on open power and we also have a problem of you know, how do we How do we boot up Linux on Power vm and how do we make those two things? Compatible so one thing that we could do is just port our host solution. Why wouldn't we do that? well Our host solution uses petty boot and it's one of the only things that uses petty boot and the distro QMU guests generally boot with grub uniformly and We don't want to Make our power guests an exception to that More over So petty boot runs in this Linux and it ramfs environment and normally that'd be a really good thing But it turns out that power vm Negotiates capabilities with the guest kernel and Since petty boot in this environment would be the first guest kernel to boot up which is actually going to boot up the payload kernel There is not an ability to renegotiate capabilities with the firmware Not easily not without doing some surgery so our firmware folks did not like that approach at all and We also want one that want you know to You know make this easy to go between the two different hypervisors that we have so It's a much simpler boot environment. We don't really need the elaborate key structure We don't think that we've Been working on for the host environment. So why don't we do something that's simpler? and So the The partition firmware or our sloth can just make use of Perhaps an indirection much like x86 has with the shim so Simplified view of of an x86 boot it emulates the host solution And the shim provides this layer of indirection so that You know it can be signed by Generally Microsoft and the OS Can be signed by you know the distro provider or whatever key authority that you like and it's Interesting to observe that and one of the problems. I think we need to solve is you know the Hypervisor validating the firmware Which doesn't appear to be done on the x86 side nowadays So here's maybe a guess at what this might look like for Booting on power vm Very similar to the the Microsoft secure boot problem. We need to be able to sign Something that provides us a layer of indirection We can't get an awful lot of reuse out of the x86 shim. It's a UEFI application And it's it's very if I specific We can learn from it We could use maybe similar variable format for compatibility but It's it's not a lot of reuse there, so we would be implementing our own shim And basically you just managing this this sort of mock database Directly and Then we could also make use of grub Which Already has a convenient callback mechanism, so very much like on x86 we could have the shim verify grub grub call back into the shim and then Verify the the guest kernel And also get our trust and computing measurements via that route Since we can't build them into grub We have a little bit different problem Open-power KVM IBM wouldn't be providing Sloth or the shim directly So we would need to have the ability to Change the public key Public private keep here actually that we're using for signing the shim and Once again, I don't think we need an elaborate key management framework much like we we built on the host that We you know we tried to reuse some tiano core concepts there, but I I don't think we need as much of that mechanism because the The guest boot environment is so much simpler We could build key management into partition firmware or sloth That's probably my favorite place for it We could put it in to the shim. I I think we already have Some precedent for adding User interface features, I know for trusted computing they've been added to sloth It'd be easy to add to partition firmware as well And of course you can still manage keys from the host environment if you want to on on QMU So What about verifying the firmware Right now it looks like this is a gap and You know, maybe we don't need to address it for our first pass, but ultimately we would want to completely verified stack one option might be to use just to mandate IMA in the host environment and Let IMA measure the firmware that doesn't really give control to the Guest administrator necessarily, but that is is probably a lot better than no verification at all And that might be good for a first pass and then maybe we can think about how we could Create a layer of indirection for that in the future but So to summarize as I said, we've only recently begun thinking about this I Put down very much what our conversations have been so far internally into the slide set We must have a common solution across our hypervisors. We want to reuse as much as we can already build upon The concepts and code that that already exist On the x86 side largely We must have the whole stack from top From from bottom to top Verified and we want to keep it as simple as possible for administrators So with that I have some references here largely ones that Claudio already had presented and so I'd welcome any reactions questions suggestions that anybody might have For us as we think about how we're going to securely boot guests And if that if none then I'll come back next year and tell you what we decided Let's use the little bit off topic here, but I think we should all give a Big big round of applause for our master's ceremony's James. Yeah. All right. Thank you everyone Yeah, well that wraps it up for this year's event And so we've had more talks and more people Attending than ever and at this rate, you know, if it keeps continuing then our next year I guess we'll have even more Content so one of the issues we've had this year. I think is not having enough break time not enough time for people to Collaborate and I guess we could have you know tried to reduce the number of talks we accepted We actually did cut back five minutes were struggling to fit things in that actually helped Stopping us running over another hour and a half today or so So but I think one question is would we've discussed this a few times in the past in the program committee Would people be interested in going to a third day and having a more relaxed You know starting at nine and finishing at five and having longer breaks for hallway sessions and then potentially having some time for workshops or Hacking sessions and so on would that make everyone then too exhausted after three days or is it better to keep it in two days? any so Anyone who thinks three days? Is better raise your hand Okay, so that that's something we can take back to the Linux Foundation folks. It's it's quite difficult to Possibly I'm not quite sure how we'd do multiple tracks. We've yeah, we've talked about that as well It seems probably everyone wants to go to just about every session I think But probably the next thing will be to talk to the Linux Foundation folks. It's quite difficult to get Resources allocated So if anyone has any feedback, please let us know that our email addresses on the on the website if you go down and have the program committee and thanks everyone for the enthusiasm and and All of the good ideas and discussions and the presenters and also obviously a great thanks to the to the sponsors and the the Linux Foundation folk who did all the logistics, so thanks

at this late stage of the Congress. My friend Rudi, I'm very happy to present my friend Rudi. Some of you might have seen him on a stage like this one before. I met him at a talk that contained the name of an animal. Some of you might remember that name. They were called Longhorn. Anyone remember Longhorn? Rudi held a talk at camp, and years later, Microsoft discontinued the product. Thank you, Rudi. Unfortunately, they turned it into Vista, so it didn't really win. Those of you who don't know, Rudi Gavais. This is not part of the talk, by the way. Rudi Gavais, a professor for cryptography. What else should I say? Just a great presenter. I'm going to leave the stage. Thank you. And as my friend Marcus Becadar told me, good morning. It always fits. Good morning. And you've been told that it's a long story. And I couldn't help but grin to see that I'm simply stuck in a time loop in some parts. Very importantly, a large part of the crypto disasters that we have right now are crypto zombies that have been around for 20 years. And finally, Microsoft has been replacing them. Unfortunately, this is not just a friendly encouragement. Also, do we have a Windows 10 botnet, or is it a gated community? Microsoft simply want to create its own ecosystem. The answer is yes, but also, as a computer scientist, a botnet is a computer network where a third party can execute arbitrary code on my system. These are exactly the end user license agreements that Microsoft is putting into its products right now. And people always thought I was joking when I was saying, yes, you can't prevent the updates, but you can delay them. And people were looking at me in a funny way. But when I said that it costs quite a bit of money if you want to avoid using untested updates, and people told me I shouldn't exaggerate. And that's the impression that I get as well, because when you look at the license terms, especially those of the test version, where Microsoft is trying to make sure it gets just about all rights imaginable, excluding maybe your first born child, it's a bit disconcerting and persisting as I am. Persisting as the CT, my favorite magazine is, there's a cover story that tells you how you can prevent updates. So it's not a necessary update, but it's one that Microsoft is trying to force you into. And it's so annoying that there are customer protection agencies that are trying to target this. And at a certain age, you might start to get a bit suspicious when people say, here, take this, and you don't want it, but they persist. My experience has made me a bit suspicious when people come at me with that kind of marketing measures. But apparently Microsoft decided this is a good approach. And to put it simply, we used to discuss if some security problems might be abused by Microsoft. We now have a confirmation, because Microsoft removes the control over your own hardware and software. And if you remember that trusted computing thing that you might remember from ages ago, they're using that now to change their system and to change the opinion of the security, your opinion of the security of the system. And I want to understand these problems. And I understand that Microsoft says, we patched it better than the average user. That's definitely something you could discuss. But as always, it's always a tricky situation when people are forced into their luck. So I read that article in the magazine I just talked about. I was wondering if I should maybe turn it into text adventure to make it more understandable. It's simply not a way that you're supposed to treat your customers. But let's backtrack a bit in web history. 2002, we had a debate on the trusted computing chip that has become a crucial point of Windows 10. This is Ron Rivers, the R in RSA, wrote that the right way to look at this is you are putting a virtual set-top box inside your PC. So you're turning your computer into a set-top box. It's no longer your computer. It's more like a computer that you leased from Microsoft. And it's essentially the normal software as a service model. And you can accept all of this. And that's well good. But it becomes less and less when you force people into it. And we're hackers. So what's happening here? We're handing all our security to Microsoft. The question is, can we do that? And at the last few congresses, I spent a large part of my slides on Microsoft security problems, many of which I quoted from the heizer security tickers to make them fairly objective.  So I can show you current problems that come from it from long ago. This crypto zombie problem is that we're still using ancient algorithms like SHA-1. Well, we're now at a congress where many people are born in an age where the crypto was essentially over. But we keep saying that if we weaken our systems, it does not only weaken the current system, but also all future system. Because this problem of backwards compatibility is how many attacks works, what enables many attacks. And please allow me to speak about another Gator community, namely Apple, who thought it would be a good idea to block an app that was made in the environment of CCC because it contained objectionable content. As a hacker, I always like objectionable content. And it was essentially crypto hacking. And well, it gives me this feeling that I'm trapped in a time loop. And this was a talk from 1999. And Apple used this to censor an app from the App Store. And if I look at Microsoft Apple's track records with censorship, I'm getting seriously worried. And I'm not using this just to be able to show you these pictures of a younger me. We had nothing back in the day. All we had was, we could only write our maths on a flip board in horrible English. But this talk was watched by 280 people in the past 15 years until Apple got upset. The T-shirt is fun as well. I liked it back in the day. But well, nobody really worried about it. But 15 years later, the biggest American company makes it fool of itself. Besides taking this opportunity to show you pictures of a younger me, it's something you have to talk about. And Apple censors harmless mathematicians who make scientific talks because apparently it's objectionable. This is simply something that makes you scratch your head. And Apple was never very happy about export restrictions, which shows us that censors are just in a bad zone. As soon as we start censoring something, whether it's for religious reasons, like the Green Party in Berlin, Kreuzberg, who think that their taste is everybody's taste, you're in a downward spiral that can't be stopped. And these people who censor things shouldn't be surprised if the hacker community is laughing at them. However, back to the technology. So the freak attack has been just a rollback to the old security problems. And Microsoft has just covered it quickly, and decided, hey, it's updated a bit hard, but we'll try and work around. That secures the system. And what happened? Well, it was downloaded. It's just nothing worked anymore. After downloading it, no further updates could be installed correctly. And that was on the 7th. Now on the 13th, it became less and less funny. Microsoft decided once they remove old cryptography, they just throw out show on in the same time. After 20 years, it's a good decision. However, here they made it wrong. They changed the linear steel boot configuration. And the systems that ran proper Linux systems had been destroyed by the parallel installation of Windows. It just didn't boot. And I want to mention that if we think that all our Linux systems are changed Windows computers, and we want to use these control systems or the control system that once Windows admin decided, oh, I just want to make the system more secure, the Linux installation is broken. That's really, can make us really angry. And we noticed that Microsoft doesn't look at the thing at all. Another stupid thing is that the people weren't able to change anything in the update without destroying the BIOS settings. And that makes us really afraid. We love to create and usually that just doesn't work anymore. That sounds good, but it is not good if we notice that we make many mistakes that don't have to be asked politically. But they're just because of wrong decisions. And one really strange thing was the situation was that shortly before I made the camp presentation, I was at a Black Hat conference. They presented that it is possible to force updates from different person. And then there was this my favorite slide. Can you remember what that is? They don't know what that is? We should remember that name. It's quite clear. Nobody of you knows that. A small hint. You, we might have to reboot the system for it to be there, but you shouldn't ignore it. But Microsoft says update type is important. And we're a bit confused about it. So I won't be so unfair that Microsoft doesn't know what to do. It's really interesting.  If we have more information, we can always call the US government. And if we trust them, we can also call the educational part. And if we really think it's strange and we want to call, if we want to have help, who do we call? Well, the US military, of course. So those are the few words that are on the wrong case. Well, there are two and a half super jokes. I'll have another slide of bad jokes about that. And then I'll say why that isn't funny at all. First of all, the usual joke, every time I make this slide, I get a warning in my latte program. So just enough joke. What does that mean? Microsoft is an update with a completely broken name. That means that no human has looked at it. Because every human would have said, that's a really strange name. Are you really, really sure? No, an electronic person has looked at it. Because even the electronic would have given a warning. Nobody also had noticed. Oh, that's in the URL string. Let's see whether these URLs are written correctly. So let's forget all the funny jokes. We have a situation where Microsoft has made no explanations about it. There are no explanation. Heizer said that they wanted to ask. They didn't answer. I have since then learned. It's saying by some high German political part of the answer would make the population uneasy. I think that some of the information might make part of the people uneasy. And I would know that I wouldn't have to change them in December. However, what could happen to change after all those funny things like these random strings that they will have to add another slide? Well, I have already assumed it sounds a bit arrogant. But we cryptographs like, we help people. We say, hey, you can ask what do we need so that we can help you? Do you need some secrets that differentiate you from an attacker? We'll try to make it shorter. But please do take care of those secrets. We'll take care of everything else. However, if Microsoft goes ahead and signs and publishes or passes on a secret signing key of the Xbox Live system, that was one of the few situations where I was happy was because that is one of the few signs that things like that, dangerous things only happen by mistake. So I'll hang out of the window so that if I'm here next year, I will probably have problems to get even worse than that. Because what can you do worse than leak a key that can create a system by Xbox computers? That's just the things that do infrared on all the apartment. So they don't only know what we read, but they also know what they do under the covers. So they know that. Well, maybe people should think about what to do about it, but just put it on there with a sign significant from Xbox Live possible to put another software on it to make trust. And then next thing, all these funny things about Microsoft, the funny jokes about Microsoft update problems are not at all funny, because that means all the quality control of Microsoft absolutely failed. I've sat down with enough intelligent informatics technicians that see and write how to write tests that all that slides through. So if there's a human that sees an update with that name, he will notice that. Every script you can imagine that has all these things. That means all these funny jokes we laughed about are really not funny if you have systems that are important. And I want to say, even if we don't have any windows except of Xbox, we know that in the Fire Brigade systems, they are still Windows boxes, probably Windows XP boxes even. But that's a system that's internal, which I'm not going to put on the subject list in Hamburg. Microsoft apparently can't do that. They don't have the update system under control. And can we save the system? And that's a second critical point. Microsoft, since Windows 8, Microsoft trusted computing module, so they require the trusted computing module, and they have a switch off key. And they say that instead of the Microsoft security key, it's our architecture, and we have our own architecture, was part of Windows 8 to boot without Microsoft system. However, that was removed from the Microsoft requirements. And among Windows 10, many systems cannot be switched off. They tried that with Windows 8, but we have the situation, and I really have to criticize Heiser at the first time here. Heiser said that we don't have to be confused that we have problems because all the Linux systems have signed keys, signed boot parameters. However, there's a problem. Microsoft signs a Windows boot loader, and then the Windows systems boot. Can Microsoft call back the key? Yes. Has Microsoft deactivated stuff? Yes. Has Microsoft done stuff, deactivated stuff, without proper reasoning? Yeah. That's one bad part. The second bad part is that that's all right. That Microsoft is a great company. It's one of the biggest, spend much money for the Linux kernel. Also want to be active. Signs certain distributions, but only signs that are given to them. And it's not about old and exotic software, however, but all the development system of controls of free software. We don't have to sign every step signed. There will be successful open source software. However, the real development that everybody can work towards it has a real problem if we have to have every change signed by Microsoft and other these combination. They don't have it on it. They don't let us repair it.  Even though I've decided to work quite well with Microsoft, it's something I'm not willing to accept at all. And with the smile I saw that they have angered some people from Breidenberg who care about the rights of users. So back to 2003, this Microsoft decision towards market domination? To a lockout. So you will be locked out of your own system, in fact. And we don't really own our computers anymore. And it's a thing that with the inventor of the publicly crypto has said, well, it's just a requirement that we have under control our own keys and our own devices. But there's something positive to say. Some US companies, like Apple, have addressed these problems. That from end to end encryption, this is the right description. And here we have the opposite thing. To repeat, this is not something abstract. Microsoft has done this several times. Microsoft has, several times, has deactivated systems without reasoning. Maybe last time they gave out a reasoning, I have come grier and grier, because we are not sure if they really gave out it and so on. So I repeat, the problem is Microsoft is changing its strategy. Windows is a service now. We only get money by looking at your data. So this is now a problem. If there is really technical errors in this segment, then Microsoft could come back with the ideas if this is not a problem anymore. One more historical slide. In this TPM module, we have a secret key which we cannot access. So who can access this private key? Hopefully nobody. But if these keys are generated outside the TPM and then written into it, so somebody might have a copy of it. And then he has a general key which works RAE. This is, of course, interesting for the NSIA, et cetera. So well, this is a historical slide, but the reality has taken it in. So I could have removed this slide. But yes, once again, the manufacturers of these things are usually not in the US, but in China. So when I cannot really trust a democracy like America, then I have even greater worry about an authoritarian state. So here, it cannot be possible that we have an infrastructure where somebody who can simply file has a key to everything. So last things, all these things that we said, UFE backdoors, we allowed virus scanners, software, et cetera. The answer, if something is broken by UFE, what can we do? Then can throw away the hardware, and there's nothing else we can do. That's somebody of a really good company who said this, which worries me. Yeah, when people in high positions in industry have an unlicinic meaning like we in the hacker community. So while Lenovo is based in Peking, and I'm really sure that they are not affiliated with the government. We had a Dell backdoor that didn't really work with the Microsoft strategy of, let's publish our private keys, maybe somebody else can use it. It's scary. And the only thing that pleased me as a cryptographer was the Juniper backdoor. Because you may remember, I showed you an elliptic curve generator last year and said that there's a backdoor in there. And we cryptographers warned people just a few days after these things came up and said there's an open door so they don't use it. But companies, of course, use it, look at Juniper. But the nice thing is, a backdoor in an elliptic curve there is just a few bytes. And somebody took these bytes that were an NSA vector and threw them away and replaced them with its own vector. So you have a gate to Fort Knox and remove it and put your own gate in place. It's really scary, though. This problem is obvious when we outsource all our IT to Microsoft and say they provide updates, they know what we need to do. This means that if we have, we can't really put pressure on Microsoft there, and this is something that's rather unpleasing. This is my last slide that's only cut and pasted for a small part. The federal government said quite clearly that if you want to build a secure environment, yes, you can do that. But the people have to be able to make their own decision if they want to enter that closed system and they need an opportunity to get out of that closed system again. That's been in there for a while. Now we have the problem that when we use things, we should use up-to-date cryptography. But Microsoft threw out many companies threw out one. But these hooks still exist. We need cryptography that protects privacy, like perfect forward secrecy. And all these things have been in the standard for a while. We need international certification of the TPM production to just say it again, I'm a company that makes TPM. I have a master key for everything, so I can access all the systems. That can't be right. And you attract a nasty crowd if you have that. So it's a way for companies to protect themselves if they open up their system, if they open up their certification and booting code for relevant software for Windows 10 and 8. And we also need to check for monopolies because Microsoft is no longer the dominant company. Elmer just said we looked at some of the old Windows talks. They used to have 90% market share. And that's no longer the case in some areas. And yet the normal hardware that people use in their personal computers still runs Windows for the most part. I mean, there's the Apple word. That's another subject. But most personal computers are still running Windows. And finally, I'm going to say some nice things about the German telecom and where there's still T systems in Microsoft. There was this small article that some of you might not even have noticed that Microsoft and T systems had sketched out how a German cloud might look. And I'm always a bit skeptical of these weird national cloud propositions. But this is interesting for some companies. I mean, they can say we have a server in Germany. This is not sufficient according to the current regulations because companies that are based in the United States, they might be forced to abduct their data to the United States. This won't lead us to world peace. But it means that companies have legal certainty that they'll only be in trouble if they run counter to German law. And that other countries' secret agencies won't be able to read everything they write. And this legal security is being opened up to private consumers as well, at least I hope so. I think this is a reasonable expectation. I mean, that you have these things from the real world, where you have legal recalls, should be available in the digital world as well. And I hope that the EU stance on safe harbors is going to lead to change here. So let's make sure that the privacy standards we've thought for survive Microsoft's corporate policy. Thank you very much for your attention.


Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial straight up 41, Nasdaq is up 82, S&P is up 19.5, Gold contract up trading up $6.70 at $19.7180, Silver down 10 cents, $25.03 an ounce, Light Sweet crude up 43 cents, $81.59 a barrel, notes and bonds, you get the 10-year note trading up one tick at $11011, the 30-year up one at $121.04 and $king dollar, $king dollar down another 374 ticks, $103.156, the year was at $109, the ounce trading out here at a price point of $146 and a British pound is at $127 to $1.00 US dollar. We go take a look at the S&P first folks, bottom line is that this market wants to go to its eyes. Well, we take a look at it, you're coming into holiday weekend, coming into window dressing, you know you have a contract, yesterday we had an expansion of volume, you have a contraction of volume today, that being said we already hit the highs of the lows of the high, that would be 451.55, we hit 451.67, you know, to me that's saying okay you're going to go tag that high, NDX100, same type of setup inside the NDX, you take a look at the NDX, the low of the high is 375.72, yesterday had volume come in, today there's light volume, bottom line, now this one here, it's not the high of the low but it's right next to it, which was the 375.72, so we're at 377.20, that's telling me that this is going up to the high also. Go to the gold contract, gold just continues to go to a higher price, you had a big sign of strength out here yesterday inside the gold market, you're up $7 or $8 out here today, you're at 1971, gold's on its way up to this 2078 and it's all about, well let's do the bonds first because the bonds to me are off the bottom also, you take a look at the notes and bonds, right now you have the 10-year flat 110.11, the 10-year had another sign of strength yesterday, right now we are yielding 4.12 and last week we were yielding 4.33, so not bad, you take a look at the, and it's all about the dollar, here we go, I was talking about this yesterday, I wanted to see one more day, we got it, this is a break with conviction, a break of the uptrend with conviction, you can see it's quite clear and this dollar is on its way back down to the low end of the last time we stopped moving off the bottom, which is that 99-573, which is going to continue to get breathing room to the S&P as well as the metals market, stay right there folks, come right back.


propped up against a white boring wall right now and that's because this is my first video in the new apartment oh i do have an update on my weight so hey guys rye after razi here and thank you so much first of all for sticking around when uh there was this huge birth of time big birth of time where there were no videos coming out from me i've been overwhelmed as i've talked about numerous videos at this point but i think i think i'm in a place now where i'm going to prioritize making videos and putting them out on a consistent regular basis for myself and for y'all now you're probably wondering why i propped up against a white boring wall right now and that's because this is my first video in the new so i want to show you this apartment that i was so excited for for multiple videos and finally moved in we've actually been here for just over a month a month in two days we're like 90 95 percent there and by we i mean my boyfriend and i bow he was in the last video and and dukey let's not forget duke no one could ever forget dukey and we're about 99 95 percent moved in you know we still need some furniture pieces and things like that but for the most part it's really starting to feel like home and that's really exciting and i love it here i love it here don't make me leave okay so yeah let's so here we are where are we right now we are in my new office lovely okay i'm gonna i know i'm sure i'm making you dizzy right now i'm just me and myself dizzy this is the office well actually rewind let's go to the front door and do the grand official tour from the beginning okay let's go bye so this is the three-way i don't really have you'll notice i don't really have anything on the walls yet so a little closet and opening here cool cool and then into the first bathroom this is the guest bathroom if you will which has a nice little bathtub but wanted to get one of these bamboo things so you can put your like you know your ipad or whatever your book a little glass of wine whatever you want if you will while you're taking a nice relaxing bath and yeah okay one of the next room down the hall oh and it's got this nifty nest thing i i mean i've heard of it but i never never used it myself until now but it will i can i can like set the temperature remotely from an app and then when i leave the apartment it knows and it'll go into eco mode which means that it'll stop cooling and it'll let it go up to like 77 78 degrees and once i enter the apartment it'll start cooling again sweet right so this is my office i still don't have my uh that the like wall tiles up yet i think i might want to get like a neon written sign just make it a little more lively than the last one last one was literally just those white panels and so i want to you know add some more character to it but yeah this is where i'm doing a lot of work onto the rest of the house my arms getting tired holy crap this thing's heavy i forgot okay this is the kitchen i love this kitchen it's super i mean this whole apartment is super modern contemporary and it's just so streamlined we got these cool um little bar stools to go with it cabinetry here a little hidden fridge not little but a nice hidden fridge freezers down below yeah this is the master we don't have the end tables yet those are coming in a couple days tv this is actually meant for the living room that's why it's so big but um i don't know what we're gonna do yet we've got the two we wanted to mount it on the wall and it's so hard to get anyone to come out and install a tv we were using task rabbit which is if you don't know is an app where you can like hire independent contractors to come out and do like random stuff and i've used it before it's great but we've gone through so many different task rabbits who confirmed and then like the day before would cancel and i think that's just a recurring problem with people working in general and employees like it's hard to find people to work and to commit and to come through anyway okay check out this view so this is the rest of the building over here and then this is the view of la pretty cool right pretty sweet so that is the view and on we go into the closet arguably one of the most important features in the apartment nice walk in built-in little dresser this is my dresser and then the master uh this bathroom just screams serenity and peace and clean nice shower it's i'm i'm so grateful and happy to be living here this is like this is a big stepping stone for me and it is an important waypoint for me and marker um as i build my career in what i'm doing and it's just so nice to live somewhere that feels like you know i'm like excited to come home and spend time here so these windows all around the apartment um are floor to ceiling and these blind there's blinds for all of them and they come up and down that goes all the way through to the bedroom and there's some on this wall too facing our patio excuse me and this is not just some basic patio this is a nice patio and so it's not a lot of people put this astro turf out here so i just lay down the big grass and then i'm gonna get a little like area rug to go right here and then eventually actually monday which is in two days i'm gonna have some furniture to go out here tables get some plants make it really like homey like a nice outdoor zen of vibes so that i can enjoy being outside in my own private like space and dukey loves it too huh dukey dukey you like the apartment babies do you like it yeah you do duke's like seriously opened up so much he's way more chill he's like not afraid to walk around the apartment and explore things and go up to windows and he's super playful like this has just been such a solid move for dukey huh babies oh boy oh thank you he's so sweet he's so sweet so anyway yeah that is the tour of the apartment itself maybe one of these days i'll take you through through the amenities when i'm not feeling embarrassed to go walk around with the camera in my hand but yeah i'll do that eventually but this is our beautiful two bedroom two bathroom apartment with a balcony and a high rise in downtown la it's like it's pretty amazing all right so i had my workout this morning and i want to try out this new protein batter i got so i'm gonna reach out to man instagram and they wanted to send me some vegan protein batter i've never had vegan i've always done away which is dairy and so i want to try it out and i figure why not try it out with you guys i'm not being sponsored they didn't offer me free product in exchange for doing a social post or anything like that i just think whenever there's something like new and interesting that i can try out i would much rather try it out with you guys and share the experience with you and i'm gonna be totally honest so i have no like you know steak in the game i have no reason to like pretend to like this protein if i don't like it or whatever so here we go not to mention this is like free promo for this company whatevs you know i firmly believe that first of all i don't want to be the type of person who wants to make a dollar off of every single little thing that's not that's not who i am that's not how i want to be and i also believe that when you're giving of yourself and without letting other people's take advantage of you when you're giving of yourself and you have that generous spirit and you kind of just help people out here and there help companies and brands and whatever then it'll come back to you tenfold that's biblical okay so i'm not sure how to pronounce this company actually new zest new new zest new zest maybe let me focus in on that this is news new zest or new zest kind of reminds me of nudist but so this is clean lean protein machine rich chocolate so it got rich chocolate and then there's also smooth vanilla it says it's vegan gluten-free dairy-free soy-free lectin-free it says there's 20 grams 20 to zero grams of protein per two scoops i wonder if these scoops are kind of small because that seems like so this is the smooth vanilla smooth vanilla not really i usually actually i never get vanilla protein i'm supposed to cream it um because i'm not a big vanilla person i love chocolate i'm a sucker for chocolate so actually these are pretty decent size scoops so that's the scoop size and it says two of these and this is obviously like a sample bottle size so let's try it out and let's use their little shaker they gave me okay i hate i hate i'm not i'm not i'm not bashing this company's shaker but like this is just common in a lot of shakers it has this free little like springy ball in it and it helps break up the protein chunks and helps mix it but i found that most most but i found that most good quality protein you don't need you don't even need this little thing i throw that away i always just use the shaker bottle in the top and i shake it and it mixes just fine i don't like those things they're loud and clingy and it's just it's just an extra part that you end up losing or it gets lodged in your dishwasher whatever it's not necessary oh it's made by blender bottle that's why blender bottle always has these balls in it that's actually part of the logo all right let's try the vanilla because i never i never do vanilla because i'm like i don't want it but who knows maybe i'll love it maybe i'll switch okay add water let's see the recommended amount because that makes a big difference guys if you ever mix like a protein or even a pre-workout or something like that and you're like this tastes disgusting check the instructions to see how much water they're actually saying to put in there because oftentimes it's way less than what you think and it makes it taste better or if it's too strong add more water to dilute it and then you get like a kind of a lighter flavor that might be more palatable for you so this is saying to add i don't see any instructions on how much water to add which is interesting because usually when they do their quality control and they check to see how it tastes there's an optimal amount of water that you want to add and they recommend that to people so that they there's a better chance that they'll like it but so i'm here that's something i would recommend put on how much is the recommended amount of water anyway small detail let me add some water too thick 12 ounces hmm let me try that again okay so when it was too thick i'm tasting i feel like i'm right now i'm tasting some artificial sweetener p protein isolate natural vanilla flavor and thao thao thao matin thao matin i need to look up what that is really quick first of all well when it was really thick um the vanilla flavor was pretty pronounced and it was good now that it's more like a normal protein shake consistency but i would consider normal consistency the flavor really falls flat and it's really watery and i don't care for it i if i would have known i would have left it at like eight ounces of water six to eight ounces of water but then it would have been really thick which is so that's weird to me okay i'm looking up thao thao matin t-h-a-u-m-a-t-i-n uh clean lean protein natural sweetener that's what it is thao matin is a low calorie sweetener and flavor modifier the protein is often it's a protein the protein is often used primarily for its flavor modifying properties and not exclusively as a sweetener the thao matins were first found as a mixture of proteins isolated from the ketempe fruit of west africa how interesting is that so i guess it's a natural sweetener kind of like stevia kind of has that stevia quality it's not terrible the sweetener i still think as it stands with almost 12 ounces of water in here this protein is not good it's just not it mixed really well and i have a problem with that um it's not grainy there's no lumps so the consistency is good but that vanilla it just falls flat so i'm actually going to dump this out and i'm gonna try the protein see if i like that better this one is rich chocolate let's see how rich this chocolate is it needs to be pretty rich excuse me to impress these taste buds scoop number one scoop number two see now had they labeled the bottle with the appropriate amount of water then i would have known not to add 12 ounces so i'm gonna only add eight to 10 ounces of water and then we'll go from there i was so thick it's almost like pudding okay let's go up to 10 ounces remember the first time i had 12 ounces and it was like too watery so i add a little bit it's just over eight try it again that's better i'm honestly disappointed it's pea protein pea protein i feel like is notoriously hard to make taste good it's just not enjoyable to drink now for someone like me if i if it's really important for me to go for a vegan protein oh no i don't like that after taste some really bitter jarring i don't like that yeah i don't i'm not a fan of this protein sorry sorry news is but um okay sorry i had to swap out the battery so i think with this brand i actually prefer the vanilla and i think if i keep it at eight to nine ounces um then it'll taste good and it'll be just about the right consistency and something's wrong with that chocolate flavor it's not it's bitter it's almost dark chocolatey which i love dark chocolate but then it just has this like overwhelming bitter quality that's not it's not a good bitter we're gonna try this vanilla we're gonna do it right let's give it let's give it a fair shake so to speak it's mild it's clean it's well mixed it's smooth it doesn't have any bitterness whatsoever very clean one minor gripe about this is that at eight to nine ounces it's a little thick just a little thick it's kind of makes you go like okay i would add some more water to this if i didn't think that it was gonna detract from the flavor but also to that it's solid it's solid i i could i could recommend this and be okay with it and have a clear conscious i just wouldn't run to the store or online necessarily to buy this now like i was saying if i if it was really important to me to get a vegan protein and this is a brand that i was familiar with and i would go with the vanilla and i would be perfectly content and i'd be good to go and that'd be fine it's fine i'm not loud but it's fine yeah and just in general i want to communicate that i've been incorporating more vegan products into my diet like uh impossible beef and beyond burger so eventually going vegan with my protein will be nice but i'm not going to do it any sooner than um my ability to find a product a protein that i enjoy and like to drink as much as the one i like to drink now oh i do have an update on my weight so as a lot of you guys know my peak weight about a month and a half two months ago was 203 pounds that's the most i've ever weighed the most since before the pandemic that i had ever weighed was probably like 175 i think so to be 203 was mind blowing and soul crushing in a lot of ways but i've been working on dieting since then and going back to the gym and incorporating exercise being more mindful of things like that and so i've managed to lose about seven pounds give or take of fat and that fluctuates day to day which is totally normal it's i'm sure it does for you as well and it is normal so don't worry about weight fluctuations that are like two three pounds um and i'm gonna keep doing this i'm gonna keep updating on my weight loss journey and the things that i'm doing with my diet and stuff like that i'm still eating factor 75 meals i'm getting a little sick of some of the the meals so i'm gonna see if there's more options that i can switch to and try i noticed that a lot of their meals have a lot of like sauce a lot of cream a lot of cheese and it's sometimes i don't want all that something sometimes i just want something that's like really fresh and healthy and light it doesn't have a bunch of sauce and shit in it you know what i mean anyway that's where i'm at so far making progress i'm doing great let me know how you guys are doing in the comments ask me your questions if you want to ask them i'm trying to be more active on on social media in general instagram whatnot i went through a bunch of questions that i hadn't touched in like four months so i'm slowly slowly getting the train moving back up again um like

My fellow Americans, today I want to give you some encouraging news about the opportunities for liberty, democracy, and peace in Central America, particularly in Nicaragua. This hope is based on a renewed chance for the United States to provide support to those who struggle against totalitarian communism on the mainland of this hemisphere. We're being given something very precious, a second chance to do what is right. Recently on April 4th, I met here in Washington with Adolfo Calero, Arturo Cruz, and Afonso Robelo, the three principal leaders of the Nicaraguan Democratic opposition. I asked these three brave men to extend their offer of a ceasefire and a church-mediated dialogue with the Sandinista regime in Managua. Those exiled patriots and their followers made this proposal in San Jose, Costa Rica on March 1 in a declaration of unity, common cause, and democratic purpose. Unfortunately, their proposal was immediately rejected by the Sandinista communists who similarly rebuffed our April 4th endorsement of this realistic peace proposal. Shortly thereafter, our House of Representatives voted not to provide assistance to the Nicaraguan freedom fighters. The Sandinistas and their cohorts believed the way was clear for the consolidation of their communist regime. Nicaragua's dictator raced to Moscow and the block capitals of Eastern Europe to seal closer relations with these communist tyrannies. And now the Nicaraguans are not only continuing to import offensive weapons, they have stepped up their attacks on neighboring Honduras and unarmed Costa Rica. But as I said, we have a second chance to do what is right. On Thursday, the United States Senate, in a show of bipartisan support, voted to aid the freedom fighters struggling for liberty and democracy in Nicaragua. The Senate has seen that their struggle is ours, that they need and deserve our help. In the House, some claim that the U.S. plans to become militarily involved in Central America. Well, no such plan exists. That charge is simply a distraction from the two paramount questions that must be faced by every member. Will you support those struggling for democracy? Will you resist the Soviets' brazen attempt to impose communism on our doorstep? Or won't you? There's a bipartisan proposal in the House to keep alive the dream of freedom and peace in Nicaragua. It will be put forward next Wednesday by Republicans Bob Michael of Illinois and Joe McDade of Pennsylvania and Democrat Dave McCurdy of Oklahoma. It is essential that this bipartisan amendment be passed without any weakening of its provisions in order for us to have a hope for peace, democracy, and reconciliation in Nicaragua. The legislation will provide $27 million worth of assistance to the freedom fighters, and that's not much compared to the hundreds of millions the communists are spending to prop up their Nicaraguan dictatorship. The solution to the tragedy in Nicaragua is the very same that Congress has supported in El Salvador, liberty, democracy, and reconciliation. In El Salvador, we've worked with Congress and stood firmly behind President Duarte and the Democratic forces. We seek the same goals in Nicaragua. As in El Salvador, the United States stands with the Democratic Senator, I should say, against the enemies of liberty on both left and right, and the freedom fighters share our goals for democracy. One of their leaders, Adolfo Calero, said this week, we of the Nicaraguan Democratic resistance believe that true peace can only come with democracy, and that democracy is a precondition for peace, not the other way around." To seize this opportunity before us, to seize this second chance now offered, the Congress and the executive branch must embark on a bipartisan course for a negotiated political settlement, national reconciliation, democracy, and genuine self-determination for the people of Nicaragua. Just six years ago, the people of Nicaragua, students, labor unions, businessmen in the church fought for a democratic revolution, only to see it betrayed by a handful of Soviet-backed communists.  A House vote for humanitarian aid to the freedom fighters will send a strong bipartisan message that we will not tolerate the evolution of Nicaragua into another Cuba, nor will we remain with our heads in the sand while Nicaragua becomes a Soviet client state with military installations constructed for use by the Soviet block. A Soviet base in Nicaragua would give the Russians a foothold on the American mainland. America's proudest moments have come when Democrats and Republicans united for the cause of democracy. That is the path which is succeeding in El Salvador, and that is the path that will succeed in Nicaragua too if we support the bipartisan proposal to aid the freedom fighters. Until next week, thanks for listening. God bless you.


Hi, I'm Wayne Nagorka, an instructor with the CFA and also a member of the Tanker Intercom Working Party. As firefighters, we know that efficient communications is a vital element of safe and efficient firefighting operations. This includes between the cabin and the deck crew. This video is designed to give an overview of the operation of the analogue system fitted to a majority of tankers in the CFA fleet and the newer digital system. This video supports the Vehicle Operations Manual, Operations Bulletin 8 of 2019, Tanker Crew Intercom, which contains a procedure for testing your intercom, and also Safety First Alert number 58, Cabin Crew Communications. It is vital that if you believe your intercom is not working properly that you contact your district mechanical officer through your normal channels. The interior components of the intercom consist of the main control unit and the internal microphone. The location of the internal microphone is set for the driver, not the crew leader, to communicate with crews on the deck. The layout of the external components of the intercom differ between vehicles fitted with the seated drops and those that don't, but the operation is the same. The setup and operation of the intercom is via the interior controls only, prior to commencing pump and roll firefighting operations, or travel to the fire ground with crews seated in the rocks. The crew leader must ensure that the intercom is turned on for both internal and external controls and set to a suitable volume. Midway is a suggested starting point. The intercom auxiliary switch must be set to the intercom position, otherwise the system will not work. Also test the tone button. Turn on the deck to communicate with the driver. Pick up the microphone and activate the microphone button and convey your message. Release the button to hear the reply. Just as you would with a normal radio. The digital intercom system also has an interior and exterior unit but is operated differently. One very important feature of the new digital intercom is that it automatically turns off when the truck is turned off and needs to be restarted each time the truck is turned on. Turn the unit on by pressing the power button and adjust the volume control. This controls the interior volume from the rear deck. The call button activates a tone in the external speaker and also activates an indicator light on the external unit to attract the attention of the deck crew. The interior unit contains an internal microphone so speak slowly and clearly. Some early units also had a boom microphone. Like the analog system this microphone is always on so make sure that your message to the deck crew is clear. The auxiliary button has no function except to switch between the internal microphone and the boom microphone where fitted. The power indicator light will come on when the unit is powered up from the internal unit. Adjust the volume for the external unit as required. The push to talk on the microphone must be pressed to activate the intercom and release to receive a message. Speak slowly and clearly. This microphone is also a speaker microphone similar to our current portable radios and can be used to assist with communications in high noise environments. Additionally some tankers are fitted with a magenta flashing light to attract the attention of the deck crew. This light is activated via a switch on the console. So in summary, prior to commencing any pump and roll operations such as in grass firefighting the crew leader is to make sure the intercom is tested and operational. With the analog system the interior unit controls the volume for both the interior and exterior. With the digital system it needs to be restarted every time the truck is started. With both systems the internal microphone is always live and picks up all conversations and radio traffic so make sure any message for the deck is clearly identified for them. Consider using the tone button and where fitted the magenta light. In an entrapment scenario with crew on the deck make sure the intercom is working and communications is established as a priority. And finally if you believe that your intercom is not working properly contact your district mechanical officer through normal channels. Thank you.
