He is here to give a message of hope to every person who is battling or has a person who is struggling from the same. Welcome. Thank you so much. Na jiskaya jileo. Thank you so much. The news na kuja wa 254 on your show, I was so excited for having you. You're welcome. We're also excited to have you. Thank you so much. So tomi uli grow upi. When you grow up, kagiwa sigiwa moneji uko kere niya na counter. So I grew up in Kirinaya County with the family of, at the moment I was the first born. And my daddy is a pastor, that's the background. All right. So at what point did you know that you had cancer? Also I accredited to go because what happened is for no reason dadali alijkua glas. The time we were in Kirinaya County, we had alijkua glas and we were in a party. But instead of my hand when it was the glass, he leaned away from the glass. So we went to the devil's truck again. So what happened nearly to Pelika? We had a family friend who happened to have a clinic. We went to Pelika just to know how it's happened. Just because of lack of equipment, how it was that we figured out what exactly was going on. But this much alitombia that my left eye was not seen. Just your left eye? Yeah, just my left eye was not seen. So I referred to Mbujenu Hospital. In Mbujenu Hospital is where they said we needed to go to operation like immediately. Now what they meant by needed to go to operation like immediately was they needed to take my eyes out. So my dad being the man of Fabia is like I said, this must not be the final result we are going to. Let me cut you short, kabluendele. How old were you at that point? I was an year and a few months, this was 2001. So we got a referral to Kenyatta Hospital. We hoped maybe to report a different report. So on arrival to Kenyatta Hospital there we were to the same place. Yeah, in order to save my life they needed to get into operation. And did you understand what was going on? Yeah, I was there at the time. So my parents, there is a form that you are granted in order for you to allow the person to go on. My dad at the point permitted the one that they were to remove the eye that was not seen. Because something was happening that even the doctors at the time could not understand. Both of my eyes were diagnosed with the same condition. And now... Which cancer was it? Red Timor Blastono. And now what they were trying to stop was the cancer from spreading to the brain. Because the eyes were right on. So my dad said the one that cannot see. And they did the operation. And by favor the doctors noted that my parents were not letting at the point maybe they were going a lot. This again is a lot of news to handle for a young couple who had just had their first born. So the doctors contacted Germany and explained that we have Josh Omaina and this is his condition. This is what he is facing. And two days after Fax came in. And it said that if you can be able to lift the kid right now. Can you try to save his life. So this was a ray of hope for my dad who at the time was saying this has not to be the final result that we are going to. So my dad went and tried to figure out how to get the documentation and the tickets and what have you. And I was left with my mum. And shortly after my dad had a kupata, kupata the documentation and whatever we needed to fly out. And when it came the day to fly out. My dad did something that I believe was like changing of for me my past perception. He said he made a deal with God. I said ma go with my family in church when I come. At the moment my dad was a pastor of church and he was one of the members of six people. Six people. He was processing to the children members. So just to backdate that in the next sense. My mum when she was in high school they had this principle. I kind of hope for something that if at all you take German as a language. Now you fail very well and after high school you may give your sponsorship to go to Germany. So at this time now, first forward to now, my mum was fluent in German. So we flew out to Germany and stayed there for some six months. And they just called my mother after some time and told her that we have done all that we could do. We have tried our best.  How long were you given? Did they give you a timeline of how long you're supposed to live? The one that was given was before I did the operation that was less than a month. The first diagnosis? When I was in Kenyatta, they said if we don't do anything this is less than a month. Really? Yeah. And cancer being something that requires a lot of money to deal with and to make sure that everything is sorted out. Who was catering for the bills when you went for your operation to Germany? This was amazing. When we were in Kenyatta before, they said we needed to relate to Germany with the immediate action. At that time, as soon as the facts came in and all my bills were paid. All your bills? All my bills were paid. Even to this day we have tried to figure out who it was. Up to now you've never known who paid your bills. I believe it could have only been God because I don't know how that would have turned out. Somebody cleared the bills, cleared everything. I now fast forward now to when we were in Germany and we were told to go back. My mum was told to go back because they had done all they could do. And at this time their conscience was at ease. And if I told them it was something to fight, they fought the battle. So my mum packed everything and we went. My mum packed everything and now we were headed to Kenya. Because we were given the diagnosis that we needed to attend some therapy sessions for the short anticipated life that was remaining for me. But another thing supernatural happened, I'll call it. On the first clinic, first therapy session in Kenya, in Kenyatta Hospital, there was no cancer. There was no trace of cancer. So even the doctors were looking at the reports from Germany. So from the time when you came back to Kenya and the time you went for your first therapy session, in aspan of how many months? In aspan of a month. So there was even a conclusion they were looking at both reports and asking how could this be? Why would this be? So basically we have even done a song with Mubu and the tone of that song was bigger than cancer. Because you know when you look at cancer in this time and age it has become such a monstrous that once you get that, that's the end of you. That's the end, there is no hope. So in that my daddy having faced the same thing as young. Please talk to us about that before we go on. So my dad, when he was young also he was diagnosed with cancer. What type of cancer? I don't know if this is Latino, I'm not sure about that. But he was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, slightly older than me. And he fought that for it. So even him, Akiyongilesha, the doctors with the confidence he had that this could not be the end. He had a background of cancer that he was going through. So also his cancer got cured? Yeah he got cured. Completely. So let's go back Kidogo. When you were flying out to Germany and your dad said that he'll not accompany you. Why did he make that choice? From my perspective looking at it, I think it was a moment in his faith where he said he made a deal with God. A covenant with God of some sort. That kindly we end up in a family. I mean touch on Ayako. So yeah I think that's what was in his mind. That was the reason. That was the reason. Okay. After you got to Kenyatta Hospital for your therapy session and they discovered that there was no cancer. What happened after that? Obvious, you can imagine the peace that now flooded my view. How old were you? Coming back because I went to Germany. I was living in Kenya for a year with few months so I came back six months. So roughly two years. Okay. So you can imagine the peace, the joy that flooded my young parents who at the time had gone against us to ensure that their son would still be on this side of heaven. Yes. So I'm sure you talk to your parents and all of you together talk about this issue. What do they tell you? What was going through their mind at that time? And how are they dealing with it? To be honest on the side of mum because I also have them pictures. Mum told me it was a hard time, a challenging time. Mind you I'm the first born. And you were the only child at that time. So this was a tough time and for my mum especially who was in me during those therapy sessions, who was with me. You know when you are getting treatment for cancer what usually happens is you are given a medicine that temporarily puts you to sleep. You know what I mean by that. So that you can be entered into that machine. So my mum used to watch me enter that machine for some time and you can imagine. There is usually no guarantee for the ones you are under that drug. And for a young baby you have to understand that he will wake up again. It was a new biting moment for her. Watching that every day. So finally them experiencing whatever the result that was. That their son was rid of that and now you could move on with your life. That has in my perspective had to be a confirmation that God is real and that he really comes for those who call upon him. So since that time I believe that you've met people who are going through cancer. Yes. How do you relate to them? What do you tell them?  It's evident people have approached me because you can see I was left with a scar. To show that the life drew me a battle and God was victorious. People approached me for my story. People even maybe at the service you may not know what they are dealing with. And after sharing my story I see this glance of hope that only somebody who has it at the first hand can be experiencing. And the feedback I usually get. I have heard in several situations somebody tell me man I'm going through it right now. And this just gave me. You started with something that where there is hope there is a will. Yes. And they say that this has given me hope and has given me the will to fight. And you know when there is a will there is a way. I actually had that from you. I had that from you. Yes. And since that time when you found out that there was no cancer. What has been, have you ever gone back to the hospital again for any treatments or? For cancer? Yes. No that was it. That was it. And this is 18 years later. 18 years later. So what I think now for me the battle that I was left to fight was because now that happened when I was young. As I grew up I had to ask myself some questions on why this had to happen to me. What maybe I did I deserve to get it. Oh yeah. And I won't lie at a point in my life I passed through depression. But all that changed when I found my purpose.  When you're thinking about that and asking yourself why did this happen to me? Is it because that people are looking at you differently just because it's only one of your eyes that can function and that is putting pressure on you? Was that one of the reasons? As a young kid. Yes. Yes that was part of it. And the other one was that I saw children with maybe I will call it a normal or some sort who had children who didn't have to go through it. So I asked myself why did I have to be the one who went through it. And that question I quickly answered it when I got my purpose. And my purpose in life is to help people live a successful life. As I mentioned not only people who are going through cancer. As you are I'm sure you are conscious of people are in this time and age are going through depression. Yeah a lot. People are fighting with self image. People are doing all sorts of things to try to improve on themselves. Because people have that feeling of less than or... I'm not enough. Exactly. So I have again and again encountered this. I think was the people who assisted me personally to find out okay this is not what I'm looking at it. If I shift my focus on it it can be something different. Somebody once approached me it was a girl. Told me that I have been fighting with my weight. And just seeing the way you are confident. Seeing the way that you are not afraid to share your story. You have given me a new perspective on it. You've given her hope. Exactly. So I found okay this word hope is recurring in my life from different mouths. Even after I tell a story to whoever I told it to. In their word trying to give me the feedback to my story. They had to invite the word hope. So okay I noted that now this is my purpose. Yes. And now I started looking for a medium of how I was going to spread this message of hope. I looked should I be a presenter. I sort of okay maybe talent. Yungu yako engage ya fika. I looked around and I saw the way medium that I could have passed this message at a large scale. Was through music. Yes. And that's where my everything changed for me. And now I looked at it from a different perspective. Okay. So assuming that you met a person who was just giving up his or her diagnosis of cancer today or yesterday. What would you tell them? Don't lose hope. Cause if at all I taking back to my story. If I told my dad and my mom lost hope. And stopped fighting. Cause at the time or against them. It would have been different. They would have never met. So the message that I would tell that person is please. I know it would not be easy.  It would not be easy but as much as you can. Please cling on to that hope. And there is this illustration in photosynthesis where they put a plant in a box. Cover it. Then make a hole in the other corner. After some time that plant will live to that light. So if at all there is a ray of hope in whatever. Cling to it. Just cling to it and focus on it. You are given a month to live and here you are written later. Yes. Talk to us now about let's get into your music.  The reason that got you to music? Or did you have a talent deep down? What do you mean by that? Okay. Before let's assume that cancer was not there. Would you still do music now? Yeah I would still do music. So it was a talent. That was just what brought out the talent. Exactly. It was just part of my story. But I would not. Because it's part of my story. I cannot turn a blind ear to it. It was part of it. Because what I used to do in how I started music was in high school. I noted that even by ABCD maybe my passion was not there. So what I used to do is I used to go in the corner and just write songs. And this kept me occupied at the moment to channel my thoughts. Because I had some time where I had to battle thoughts. And you know how thoughts can be suggested sometimes, either on the negative or the positive. So what I used music at that point to do relating it to cancer was I used to use the craft of creating songs to keep my mind in a certain place that I wanted it to be. It just happened that the songs I was writing at the time were full. For like poems or letters to myself about who. Okay. Good. So let's talk about greater than cancer, bigger than cancer. Who got to who? Is it you or the movie? What happened is we have been meeting with movie previously in different occasions. But on this specific time we met in Kericho. In Kericho we had some time to talk. And I shared my story. And he himself also opened something I never knew that his mum had passed from cancer in 1999. Right about the time you were born. I was born in 1999. So I believe in destiny connectors and I believe in perfect timing and I believe that all things work together for good. So through that we exchanged contacts and we had conversations from there and we asked ourselves how we can add this conversation of cancer and change the perspective of people. Okay. So tell us about that song. Bigger than cancer with movie is how to release it just a few days ago. And the purpose of this song is I say that we are not selling just false hope. We are not just trying to come and delude people and tell them that okay now this is all done, it's all false. But what we are trying to bring to the conversation is bring that hope. To bring that hope the chorus goes God is bigger than cancer This I know, this I know There is nothing impossible Nothing's too hard for him When he steps in the room He will make all things new As I gave the illustration with the box I want, oh we want people to shift their focus from the trouble from the problem which is the cancer and focus it on God and just like that little plant yielding itself to the light once you take away your mind from the problem and focus it on God So that's the purpose of the song Like you say you're not here to give people false hope because you've been through that and I believe the best person to give someone hope is someone who has gone through whatever you're trying to to give them hope too And I want us to wind up but before we do could you please share with us your social media pages where someone can find you in your music and you can tell them if they wanted to talk to you I believe now that you are where you are you have so much to tell people and talk to them about there's someone maybe who is going through something deeper and they would like to talk to you So in my social media account is Prince George P-R-I-N-C-Y-J-W-O-S-H Prince George on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and social media on YouTube and if you would message me then we'll talk and link up So since you're here and you said that your purpose is to give people hope have you encountered people that you've actually met with talked with and they got out of what they were battling with or dealing with other than the lady who was struggling with how it was Ya, personally I have something initiative that I call class of the 21st century and what it consists of is making people conscious that we may have all sorts of differences in our minds but we all share one thing that is the basis of life which is life itself So through that initiative I usually go to high schools I talk to you, they have people who I mentor and I have seen cases of depression and I will not credit myself from people in high school from people in university even people who are old enough to be my parents So I have seen people come with depression people come with low self image and I will not credit it only to myself because I have a team that I work with and I have a testimony now and I used to battle with that and some of those people are the ones who are part of my team so I hope the power of hope is hope if you could understand if you could just give somebody hope you will find the other way so that's what we try to present and it has worked marvelously we have to know So thank you so much for making time to join us so I want you to give your last words to someone who is going through something my advice is this about the power of the mind I want you to focus on the right things because the mind can be divided into two parts theoretically speaking you can divide it into the negative part and the positive part if you focus on the negative part they thought to be generated which will tell you are less than you are nobody all those that will make you feel low and feel as if you don't deserve to be here and on the other side there is positive thoughts which is the creative part where you can focus on happy thoughts things that will ensure that there is progress in your life so choose the positive side that's my only message now so thank you so much once again thank you for having me and we hope that you continue delivering that message of hope thank you we will surely do kindly tell us your social media pages once more I'm Princy George P-R-I-N-C-Y-J-W-O-S-H Princy George on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all social media platforms and also YouTube alright thank you thank you so much so as you've heard from Princy George he is here to deliver a message of hope and you need to stick to the positive thoughts so that's all we had for you on Real Talk today but don't you go anywhere more of Isakit coming your way and up next is bigger than cancer Princy George in Movie and Movie


It's Friday night in the A, and you know what that means. Kelly Price and Tori McElhady coming at you on Rise Up Tonight, presented by AT&T. You guys, the Falcons are fun again. We are having fun. This is fun. And I don't think I've ever felt this way about this team in the three years that I've covered it. I honestly would agree. And who would have thought that this team that's compromised of rookies and veterans on short-term contracts with a cap hit, dead cap hit of over 77 million would be fun.  They are fun. So now the Falcons have a very intriguing matchup against another fun team this Sunday with the reigning AFC champion, Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow, who are three and three. Let's huddle up about it, y'all. Let's huddle up with Kelly and Tori on the world of Falcons football. And we got to start with the NFC offensive player of the week, Marcus Mariota. A story so good, neither of us could have even written it three years ago. Last week, Mariota was benched in Tennessee. Then on Sunday, he balled out. The guy had only one in completion. And oh yeah, sprinkle in 50 yards and two touchdowns on the ground against one of the most formidable defenses the NFL has to offer. What do you think stood out most about that performance? Honestly, so much stood out to me, but nothing as much as his overall confidence and command of this offense. Look, this is a guy who didn't play for over two years. This was, of course, going to be moments in a season where he is knocking off for us. But I think we're seeing a more confident Marcus Mariota than we've seen in over three years. Sunday's game, the stats, the production was a manifestation of that. Yeah, and three years is a long time. Do not forget that. One of the most interesting quotes from this week's post-game press conference was Mariota saying, essentially, when you lose a guy like Cordero Patterson, you can't exactly replace him with just one guy because CP does so much for this offense. And yet Atlanta's ground game is top three in the league. Good teams run on opponents, even when those opponents know it's coming. And they've been doing just that with a former practice squad player and a true rookie, which honestly has been so fun to watch, right? Honestly, I love a good story and I gravitate towards this one. And what I'll add is that the Falcons' roots as an offense is in the run game. When was the last time that we could say that about an offense in Atlanta a decade ago? Right. And get this, they're winning because of it. In games where Marcus Mariota has had to throw the ball over 20 times, the Falcons are 0-3. When he's not having to throw the ball that much, they're 3-0. That to me is all the proof I need to know the Falcons are at their best when their offensive success is supplemented by the run. It's literally a difference in the season, 3-3. In the secondary, the Falcons lose a veteran presence in Casey Hayward, who injured his shoulder in Sunday's second half. He's now been put on IR. Darren Hall will slot in for Hayward, which I know I'm really excited to see. He played in relief of AJ Terrell on Sunday. He performed really well, even breaking up two pretty big passes. Hall has one of the most infectious personalities and energy on this team. He had a great training camp. Do you think he's ready for more of an opportunity this week against a talented Bengals receiver core? I do. And honestly, talk about a trial by fire. You know, the Falcons secondary will have its work cut out for it against Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Tyler Boyd. Oh, and don't forget former Falcons Hayden Hurst too. Don't forget him. So no, it's not going to be easy, but the good news for Darren Hall is that Dean Pease has done a good job of getting him some live reps throughout the first six games of the season in relief. It's because of these reps and the performance of Hall in them that I'm actually not too worried about him on Sunday. In fact, I'm kind of with you. I'm excited to see him because when we have seen him this year, he's done some good things. Another solid week of Falcons fits as the guys started gearing up for the abrupt sweater weather attempts we experienced just like out of nowhere. So-called time for walking in presented by West Bargo. Let's start with Kyle Pitts because he was prepared for this week's flash freeze. We stay on a fuzzy flannel, especially a flannel with fringe. Kyle, please tell me where you got this because I actually really need it. I love the fringe and it's a nice touch and one I've been told by people who are a lot trendier than me that it is very on trend to have the fringe. So I wish I was as trendy as KT. Like I really want this jacket. All right, Arnold Ebecady also with a awesome jacket. He impressed us with his bars on Tombstone back in training camp. You guys remember that one? Now he is impressing with this varsity jacket. Look, the boxy shades, Air Jordan's to match. I just love the red and black color combo. Knowing A.K., he was probably feeling some FOMO with us having Lorenzo Carter on here so much. So he really pulled out all the stops with this fit. And gosh, I feel like I say this every week, but I love a cool jacket moment. The competition is key and he is stepping up to make it into Falcons fits this week. Next up, Quentin Bell with the Spidey swag. This footy is giving Halloween spookiness and I am here for it. Subtle Spidey swag is something I never thought that we would have the opportunity to say on this show, but nonetheless, I love it too. Timing is everything in all things. So I like that this fit has timed up quite perfectly with Spooky season. Spidey swag, cheetah girls, we're just, we're just bringing it all for you guys. All right, last but definitely not least because he is doing the most, Keith Smith. This is just a lot, sir. I do not hate the pieces individually. The pants are actually amazing as a connoisseur of fun pants myself. Just together, the paisley print and the pledges and a salt on my eyes. This is a choice. I'm not a big pattern gal, but I can respect the effort here because to get this mini patterns in one singular fit that had to take quite a bit of effort, you know?  Well, with the Hawks tipping off their season this week, we heard from the guys about what their favorite sports are to watch besides football. Lots of hoop fans out in Dought and Flurry Branch. Time now for our question of the week. Actually, it's tennis. I love to watch tennis. Yeah, Rafa, that's my guy. What's your favorite major to watch? The US Open or French Open. Did you get to go to the US Open when you were in New York? I went to the US Open in New York. Yeah, that was awesome. It was crazy. I saw Serena, actually. I would say basketball in the finals and golf. And I, mm, yeah, I guess. Probably basketball. Definitely my favorite sport.  Basketball. Basketball is definitely, yeah, definitely. College pro? I'd say pro. College, if I would have gone to college, the only time I really like watching is probably maybe New York, Carolina, the Tories. I like them. They should like them more a lot. So many basketball fans on this team. I think, just think about Drake London. He played at the highest level with USC, playing football there as well. Arnold Abacadie, a Hooper until he discovered football later in his life as well. Yeah, so it's funny because AK actually has like a whole huddle reel of him dunking, and it's fantastic. Oh, and for those that don't know, AK officially challenged Drake London to one-on-one in the off-season on our Falcons in Focus podcast two weeks ago. He said when the off-season gets here, it's on. I would love to see the pickup basketball games that these players have. They're probably super competitive. Well, still to come here on Rise of Tonight, we welcome a legend in the world of activism in Atlanta and civil rights everywhere. Dr. Brady's King drops by later in the show. Plus, it's extreme home makeover, a Lameday Zacchaeus edition. Coming up next, the Falcons wide receiver gives back to a local family in a big way. Rise of Tonight is presented by AT&T and brought to you by Georgia Lottery. Today could be the day. By Home Depot, how doers get more done? By Mercedes Benz, the best of nothing, and by Truist, committed to a better future. Anyone who's ever bought a house knows it's a whole thing to get it to be your space, right? You have to buy furniture, pick out decorations that fit your style, so on. We've been updating our older homes since we bought it back in March and just like they say in football, you gotta trust the process. Well, one falcon wanted to help a local family with that process. Time to Rise Up for Atlanta brought to you by Truist. I'm here to give Miss Nicola a new and improved home courtesy of Rooms2Go. You know, I'm excited for this. Hopefully she enjoys what we've done with the house. OZ, the Atlanta Falcons and Rooms2Go partnered to provide this family of six with two bedrooms of furniture, including two awesome new bunk beds for the kids, a nice bed for mom, dressers, decor, and of course some falcons swag signed by Zaccheus himself. Man, I love a good home makeover reveal. Some good stuff there. Well, wins all count the same in the record books last time I checked. I love what you wrote in your notebook this week. I really don't want to hear it. We're talking about the take that the Falcons win over San Francisco wasn't that big because the Niners were beat up.  A win is a win. And look, I get it. The 49ers are significantly beat up right now, but I'm sorry, that's the reality of the league. You hate it, but we're in week seven. Injuries are going to pile up like they do every year and every team has to account for set injuries at some point or another. And yes, I get it. It does change the way that they operate, but and this is a very big but the other reality is that the Falcons played well on Sunday. They played as a complete game as we have seen them play this year. Just because the 49ers were without Nick Bosa doesn't change that factor. Take it away at the end of the year. No one puts an asterisk beside a win or a loss to signify starters were out. That's not how this machine runs. Death taxes and injuries in the NFL. All the constants you can rely on. Well, you can also rely on our hot takes every week. You come for our commentaries, such as I really don't want to hear it from you guys, but you stay for those hot takes. You know the drill. We're getting spicy to wrap it up later on. And lawyer, minister, peace advocate and thought leader, Dr. Bernice King joins us to talk non-violence, equity, justice, and of course the Falcons. That's next on Rise Up Tonight. Rise Up Tonight is presented by AT&T and brought to you by Georgia Lottery. Today could be the day. By Home Depot, how doers get more done? By Mercedes Benz, the best of nothing, and by truants committed to a better future. Welcome back to Rise Up Tonight. Let's head in the nest with Kelly Torey and this week's special guest brought to you by Mercedes Benz. Joining us tonight in the nest is Dr. Bernice A. King. What an honor to speak with you today. You're of course continuing your parents' legacy with the King Center and you guys have an immersive online experience, non-violence 365. I was reading a little bit about it. It's a super interesting initiative. Tell us about that and what you've kind of been doing to get that work there. You know, back in 1964, when my father received a Nobel Peace Prize, he gave a lecture as well. And in that lecture, he stated that I suggest that the philosophy and strategy of non-violence immediately become a subject of study and serious experimentation in every field of human conflict by no means excluding conflict or relationships between nations. And so with that in mind, it has been our intention to ensure that that comes to pass, that it becomes a subject of study and serious experimentation by people in all fields of human endeavor. And so we set out to create what we did or what we do in person online so that anybody across the world can have access to how non-violence influenced Dr. King and how it was utilized to bring about social change in our society. Absolutely. I mean, that is just such an important tool. I love how you're talking about it in more ways than maybe just what people think this is. And so for you kind of talking about the King Center and the impact that it's had, not just on you, but with the Atlanta community, I think as a whole too, what does it mean to you to continue to pour into the King Center? Well, it means a great deal, first of all. Number one, because it is the official Living Memorial to the Life, Work and Legacy of my father. But more importantly, it's the institution that my mother poured her life into, that she felt was important to establish so that future generations would really understand and study Dr. King, his leadership and his non-violence. And, you know, and so for me, it's been about continuing her legacy more than anything else. I tell people all the time, you know, when my father was assassinated, he was one of the most hated persons in America. And now today, he's one of the most loved persons in the world, but why is that?  But the reality is it's because my mother spent an enormous amount of time pouring her life into making sure the work that they did during the movement continues to live and be somewhat institutionalized in our society. Well, so obviously it's election season. Atlanta, obviously a huge, you know, kind of battleground state here in Georgia. How busy are you in the King Center right now during this season? Well, let me just say this. For us, it's about being proactive year round. You know, citizenship education and civic education is so desperately needed in our society today. And so we're always trying to keep people aware of what's going on. In fact, before we got to the actual time period, you know, of these different elections, we were talking about the Voting Rights Act through our beloved community talks. You know, obviously we do a lot through social media, but we partner with several organizations because it's not our direct work. So we partner with organizations who are doing kind of the on-the-ground work, community organizing around voting and voter awareness. We have an individual that works, excuse me, with those organizations. So most of our work is through those networks, as well as the work that we do via social media. But also, as I said, making sure that people understand it's more than just this election. It's more to it than voting. Voting is one aspect of our citizenship engagement. You know, we have to understand what's going on, you know, in terms of laws and policies. We have to ask, because we are a football show, we are a Falcons football show, please tell us a little bit, maybe about one of your favorite memories as a Falcons fan or just kind of consuming Falcons football over the years.  But anyway, that's fine, y'all are going to get me later. But when I was able to pull the, come on, y'all hear me. The horn. Oh, the train horn. The train horn, the train horn. Oh, it was such energy and excitement in the stadium. And so that was one of the best days that year. I think that was last year, I want to say, year before last, right when the pandemic hit. And so, yeah, that was probably my most favorite memory. Love it. Yeah, I mean, that would be everyone's favorite memory. That is awesome. That's so cool, I love to do that, I love it. But let me tell you something, let me tell you what superseded that, but it's not a Falcons thing. And that's why I didn't say it, but I'm going to say it here. It's when I was in the stadium, the stadium where the Falcons played their home field, when I was on that field and I flipped the coin at the beginning of the Super Bowl, that was my most favorite moment. That is pretty cool too, wow. In my hometown, yes. That is amazing, I didn't know you did that for this Super Bowl. I did. That is so incredible. Wow. Back when I was like 2018? Yeah, yeah. Well, I have nothing to top that. I have nothing to top that. Awesome. Well, thank you so much for sharing those memories with us. We really appreciate it. Anyone who wants to catch the full conversation, lots of really good stuff in there with Dr. King, go to fox5atlanta.com. We'll have the full thing posted on there. Thank you so much for the time. What an honor. Thank you. Getting to speak with you. Thanks for the time. And we'll be right back on Rise Up Tonight. Hey Atlanta, this is Eggrack talking and you watching Rise Up Tonight. It's presented by AT&T. It's like I don't get caught up in whatever narrative is after four weeks of the daily narratives. You can almost write some of these narratives and live and die every week by the narratives because it sets up bad narratives. You can frame the narrative. You can write narratives. Those are easy narratives. So we're like one and a half on our takes from last week. Kyle Pitts finally found the end zone as you predicted. And as I wanted to say, special teams was good. Maybe not great, but they were good. But you know what was great? What happened after the game between Arthur Smith and his kindred spirits on that offensive line? I see more beer in the Dirty Birds future. Not sure if their agreement was going to be passed last week, but the reason they had this viral beer celebration in the Mercedes-Benz club was twofold. One, they won the game. And two, the Falcons rushed for more than 100 yards. I honestly see them doing that again this Sunday. A major key in this game is firing first on offense. And we know Atlanta will lean on its ground game to find that success. Cincinnati's front has some key injuries and throughout the season so far, they are giving up almost five yards per carry towards the bottom of the league. Feeding Tyler Algier and Caleb Huntley and feeding those Lyman some buds, that's my hot take. I love it. I'm down for it. Now I'm actually gonna bring back an old hot take that we've had at a different time. Can we do that? Can we recycle hot take? Maybe it's mild, maybe it's not hot. Mild take, recycling is good. Anyways, my hot take is that Tequan Graham is going to get his first stack of the season on Sunday. Joe Burrow has been sacked 21 times this season. He was just sacked three times against New Orleans. If there's ever a time for this hot take to take, to become true for TQ, it's this weekend. I agree. Something Dean P said last week that I really liked was the phrase aggressive rookie mistakes. I think that's really interesting to think about with this young team as they learn to play at this level. They're really athletic. They're gonna fly around on defense and they will make mistakes. But like he said, hey, if they're gonna make them go on a hundred miles an hour, I am okay with that. It's gonna make them better in the long run. I love it. And it goes back to something Arthur Smith has said too, which is as a coach, I would much rather have to reel someone in and push them forward. And he took it a step further when I asked about him this, about this mindset this week. He said that, you know, he's seen them make up for small mistakes because they're playing so hard right now. And he continued by saying, going, if you're gonna be wrong, do it one thousand miles per hour to make up for it. Hey, I love to watch it. We'll see what happens this weekend in Cincinnati. We'll be back here next Friday night to talk about it. Thanks for joining us and have a great night.


Hey everyone, today we're taking a peek inside the lavish world of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, John Cena. This professional wrestler turned actor as built an empire, earning millions from his epic WWE stunts and blockbuster movie roles. With a net worth of 80 million dollars, you know John is living the life. Let's dig in and explore the latest buzz, the backstory, the mind-blowing mansions and dream car collection of John Cena. Let's start with the moment from the 2024 Oscars that had everyone talking. John Cena hit that stage to present the award for Best Costume Design, rocking a look that stunned the audience into hysterics. John just casually strolled out there looking like he was completely in the buff, hiding his goodies behind the envelope. Of course it was just a clever bit of Hollywood magic. He was actually rocking a fabulous flesh-toned modesty garment underneath. Let's talk about John Cena. This muscular man originally tried his hand at bodybuilding and even drove limos for a bit in Massachusetts before finding his true calling. Cena's big break came when he landed a developmental contract with WWE back in 1999. He headed down to their training grounds in Ohio, now known as the place that birthed legends like Rock Lesnar, Randy Orton and Batista. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. After just a couple short years developing his craft, Cena got called up to the main WWE roster in 2002. His first big encounter? Facing off against Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle in one unforgettable debut that had fans instantly hooked. From there, Cena's career just skyrocketed. He became a record-breaking 16-time world champion and basically the face of WWE for over a decade. Smackdown was where he truly made his name. Sharing the ring with powerhouses like Eddie Guerrero, Edge and Chris Benoit at the peak of that show's star power. While Cena did dabble as a heel character for a minute early on, it was his heroic persona at WrestleMania 21 against JBL that marked his official coronation as a fan favorite. The rest? Well, that's history. These days the iconic wrestler has transitioned into a well-earned, hard-time schedule as he expands his empire into Hollywood films and TV shows. But he has made it crystal clear that wrestling will forever have his heart. Let's now look at how this legend really lives. With an $80 million net worth, you know John Cena's lifestyle is fancy. The bulk of Cena's earnings come from two main sources, his long-standing career with WWE and blossoming acting roles. Despite being part-time these days, he still ranks in a whopping $8.5 million per year from the wrestling corporation, plus $500,000 per guest main event appearance. And a cool 5% cut of his massive merch sales. Can you even imagine getting pitched half a mil just to show up and perform? That's the dream right there. Speaking of which, one of John's biggest passions also happens to be one of the most expensive hobbies you can find. He's an avid collector of classic American muscle cars. His garage is a museum of vintage cars. We're talking beauties from the 60s and 70s like Dodge Chargers, Pontiac Judges, Plymouth Superbirds, all of those. Cena has been drawn to these four-wheeled works of art since day one. The very first set of wheels he ever bought himself was a 1984 Cadillac Coupe de Ville straight out of a mobster movie. These days though, you're more likely to catch him cruising around in his beloved 1971 AMC Hornet. He's also invested some serious cash into his acting career, reportedly earning $7 million alone for his first major role in the Suicide Squad. Not too shabby for a former wrestler. The Peacemaker role was such a hit that it even scored Cena his own spin-off series on streaming where he commanded over $500,000 per episode. And we can't forget about endorsement. John's been securing lucrative sponsorship deals left and right for years with brands like Subway, Gillette, and Honda. Those sponsorships currently net him an estimated $1.5 million annually. When John Cena is in globetrotting or pulling off crazy stunts, he retreats to his huge ultra-lux mansion in Tampa, Florida where he can kick back with his partner, Shay. After grinding away on the road for most of the year, you'd better believe that he takes full advantage of all the luxuries his multi-million dollar crib has to offer. Let's take a room-by-room tour of pure indulgence. Why when you step through the front door, you're greeted by a glamorous grand entry foyer. The perfect introduction to this paradise. One of the most unique rooms in the home has got to be John's personal cigar lounge. Yes, the man has an entire special space just for puffing with his boys, which seems like the ultimate quiet man cave. Of course, the mansion also has massive closets just for clothes and shoes. This must be the highlight for his partner. When you even imagine having that much closet space like the one in the master suite, it's basically a whole extra bedroom just for outfit storage. Moving onto the grounds, outdoor amenities are just as lavish as you'd expect. There's a sprawling pool area that puts all your neighborhood swimming pools to shame, looking really like a five-star resort with its founted design and grand diving platform. Oh, and did I mention they have a full guest house on the property as well? As I mentioned earlier, John Cena also has a huge obsession with classic American muscle cars from the 60s and 70s. His garage is a museum of vintage automotive excellence.  Of all of his prized vehicles, though, he seems to have a special connection to his 2007 Ford Mustang, Saline Parnelli-Jones Limited Edition. This specific Mustang was just one of 500 ever produced, making it very rare. Don't be too shocked, though, if you see John driving something a little more low-key from time to time. When he's just running errands around Tampa, he apparently favors his trusty 1971 AMC Hornet as his daily ride. No discussion about John's cars would be complete without mentioning some of his most iconic wrestling entrances. There was that time at WrestleMania 23 when he drove a Ford Mustang straight from the streets of Detroit, crashing right through the arena glass onto the ramp. Cena has always loved incorporating automobiles into his wrestling persona, like at WrestleMania 22, when his bodyguards rolled in, channeling an old-school mop survive in a 1940s style sedan. WrestleMania 23 car stunt entry, though, allegedly one of the most expensive productions WWE had ever put on at that point, totaling around $100,000. After getting an all-access peak at John Cena's life of luxury, cars, homes and fortunes galore, I have one last question for you all. If you could go car shopping with John's unlimited budget, which three classics would have to be in your garage? Let me know in the comments down below.

It's Kara, or Kara the Vampire Slayer as you might know me and given my love for all things house and home, I recently wanted to get more hands on myself and I started tackling DIY projects at my own house. Being a new homeowner, there are plenty of unexpected things to fix and it's cool to learn what you're doing and hopefully be able to fix it yourself. There are also plenty of DIY projects suitable for beginners like me to do and ones that improve the look of your space drastically. Follow me and I'll teach you what I'm learning and motivate you to join me.  Follow me on FIXIT with Kara and we can chat.


Okay, I'm Dave Stewart. I do work at Intel, although this talk is not about Intel, per say, it's about the YAKTA project. So happens to work with Intel, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC. But so I'm going to sort of generalize. There is a little Intel bit that I'm going to throw in just because, hey, they write me a paycheck, so I figure it's a good idea. It's really good to see everybody here. A lot of what I'm going to try and do today is update a little bit some of the stuff that I talked about at the embedded Linux conference in the spring. Did anyone hear my talk then? Awesome. Oh, a couple. All right, so, but, you know, we have done a little bit of work, but I, so I'll try and do what I can to help, you know, explain a little bit. There was this nice castle on the top of the hill yesterday, so that's what that is. It was a gorgeous day yesterday, so I'm hopeful that all this works, since I actually didn't create this presentation until yesterday, right before the party. Anyway, what we're going to try to talk about is kind of the big motivating problem, I think, that has really captured my imagination and attention ever since I started, you know, really working with embedded, with this whole idea of intelligent systems, the systems that really have, you know, internet-connected embedded systems. And so I'm going to talk a little bit about what the problem is. Talk a little bit what we've done in the Okta project to try and help. Oh, this got reformed really oddly. There are a few things that we didn't do that I said we were going to, so I don't want to dwell on those things, but actually a couple things are sort of important there. And then touch on a few best practices and then talk about what we're working on in the future with the Okta project. So let's see if we can make everything work. So we're going to talk about sort of what the problem is, and the sort of initial, by the way, photos in here are, I kind of like to take photos as I'm traveling, so some of them, some are kind of relevant to the point. Oh, there's not at all. So it'll give you at least something to look at while I talk. So November 2nd, 1988, it's a very important day for me because in the, around 86, I started working for this company called Sequent Computer Systems, which is a server manufacturer that defunct now, and, you know, working on Unix-based multiprocessors. And we were just starting to get interested in what we should do relative to security because we had this, you know, the internet was just starting at those days. And so the top software guy we had was a guy who, he said, well, you know, this whole thing about viruses is kind of interesting. I wonder how hard it would be to actually create one. So with the understanding of his manager, there's a couple of seats up here, guys, if you want to come on up, if you're not shy, feel free, I won't bite too badly. So with the permission of his manager, he created this little thing that he snuck it into the ADOT Outheader of an executable. And what it would do is it basically hijacked the entry point of whatever the binary was, and then would go and write a little file in slash temp saying, oh, I've, you know, I've infected another one right with the UID of the process. And then it would go and run through dollar path and everything, every executable, it could find a dollar path of the process. It would go and stick this little thing in the ADOT Outhead or anything that was writable. Okay, so nothing, you know, magic. And he sort of infected himself as a, as a regular user, not a supervisor, right? Yeah. So he's, you know, for a few days, he's watching the progress. And, you know, remember, this is one computer that everyone shared, right?  So, but then what happened at some point is that somebody in sort of the supporter, the IT group, executed, yeah, an infected binary. And then basically he was running his route. Sure enough, he had, you know, SUID privileges. So, so essentially, he, he infected everything in the dollar path for every user, right? You can imagine what's going on now. Because the entire computer was like, load average went like this. Everybody's ability to do anything went like that. Because there were all these processes banging on slash temp trying to rate that file, you know, because it was trying to reinfect everything.  But the amazing thing after that was, the reason I remember snow verminer second was because that exact same day, the entire internet went out. Now the internet was not very big in 1988, but it was enough.  What's going on? So it wasn't, it was actually kind of famous. This guy named Morris had what was famously called the Morris worm. He was actually supposedly trying to figure out how big the internet was.  Now the interesting thing is that whole system that I talked about that was infected was essentially a VAC 780, which, if you remember your history, is about the compute power of probably, well I think probably my smartphone has more compute power than that, right? And so reality is we crossed a barrier last year where 32-bit microprocessors actually crossed the 50 cent price barrier, okay? So the whole idea of TCPIP connected 30-bit processors is now a reality and the capabilities that companies like Intel, for example, are putting out there really up the ante for us as programmers. But guess what? I think a lot of us as programmers are kind of still living in the era where, oh, you know, we don't really have to think about these sorts of vulnerabilities that we're introducing now in vast numbers all over the internet of things. So this is actually kind of, I love this was like an ancient church in Turkey. He's got a shell, though I thought was kind of cool, so shell programming on. Anyway, it was pretty ancient. So let's talk about a couple of examples. I mean, imagination is a wonderful thing, but let's talk about some real examples that I brought out. I mean, Stuxnet was a fairly well-known worm, but in fact it's known today, it's now known that Israeli and American intelligence agents wrote Stuxnet to basically infect the centrifuges that Iran was using for uranium refinement, right? So it was basically some Siemens equipment. They went and infected the windows.dat file or something like that. Anyway, all these centrifuges were connected in a network behind a firewall. So it was actually an air gap firewall. There was no physical connection with the internet and these centrifuges. So how in the world did it get out to the rest of the internet? Well, in fact, these unrealized side effects and consequences can happen, even something that's not designed to get out. Of course, got out and cost millions or billions of dollars of impact because of that sort of thing. So yeah, intelligence organizations are at work doing some of these things. That's one particular one that we know about. So I think of industrial automation as, oh, this is such a simple thing. It's not at all sexy. It's not flashy. It just does its thing, but it's a perfect example where these Siemens put out this industrial automation based on windows, I might add, that had a vulnerability there that intelligence agents could take advantage of. Codesis is another interesting example. This is actually industrial automation software for power plants, nautical ships, military applications. It was revealed last year that they have a interesting vulnerability that, see if I can state this correctly, I got a note that I want to make sure I, good, enter a password.   Now, can I get the right password? First try, amazing. It was purchased, it's been purchased by 261 manufacturers, Codesis, and it basically will grant a command shell to anyone who knows the proper command sequence. So it basically provides a shell, and then basically, if there's any ability that once you get to the shell to actually get to root, which is, of course, dependent on the system it's running on, and so the author of the code, Codesis, had basically said, well, we're not really capable of making the software secure, so don't connect it to the internet, because then it's relatively easy to get a command prompt. Somebody ran a quick little test and found 117 sites that had the software on it that they could access through the internet. Now, maybe those are all just demos, right, not actual power plants, or military installations, or naval vessels that you can get a command prompt to and then become root. Right, so this stuff's very, right, you know, very prosaic industrial automation. There's a certain amount of, you know, risk that's involved with that as well. Is Richard here? I was hoping Richard Purdy would be here, because it's actually, I told him I was going to stick a photo of Newcastle in there, so I did. Anyway, so let's take one more example.  A couple of years ago, we had our first Yachter Project Developer Day, and Jim Zemlin gave the keynote, and he was so proud about the fact that there was this municipality in New Mexico that had implemented smart meters on all the homes in the city, right?  So that's very cool, because you don't waste a lot of power. Minor downside, it turns out that actual power meters are one of the most, you know, kind of violated things out there. It turns out, like in hot weather states in the United States, like Arizona, where people often run the air conditioner a lot in hot weather, one of the little hacks is to take a very large, permanent magnet, stick it on the power meter during the day, so your air conditioning can run all day, and the power meter won't actually record anything, then take the magnet off, so when the person comes to read the meter, oh, I haven't used that much power. Now, that's a fairly simple hack. Actually, they started building power meters out of, like, aluminum and nonferrous metals as a result, but, you know, you kind of imagine that's a fairly, what I would call sort of a Fred Flintstone sort of hack to be able to get at that sort of thing, but in fact, the FBI did a little analysis and has actually shown that at least one, let's see if I can get the actual note here, yeah, that the smart meter hacks may have cost, according to the FBI, they basically said it may have cost a single U.S. electricity utility hundreds of millions of dollars annually because of, you know, essentially hacks on the smart meter. Okay, so we have some interesting issues here, and again, we as programmers probably don't think of this sort of thing and necessarily want to get all tied up with things like security and embedded devices. But the reality is that when these sorts of things start showing up on the front of the Wall Street Journal and newspapers like that, this is where it's going to really start becoming very critical to us to take it seriously. And I don't want to be like Cassandra. You know, Cassandra was the mythological figure who was doomed to know the future but never be believed, I think, and so I don't really want to be Cassandra. I don't want to consider, I'm not really a security person, but it's just sort of the obvious issues that might result. The real issue, of course, are what they call zero-day bugs, and again, I'm not a security person per se, but as I understand that the day you ship your software, it will have some bugs in it, guaranteed, right? In fact, there's some people are now talking about forever-day bugs, you know, because they're never fixed, right? They're things you haven't thought about, and so Linus Colonel has a number of them. How many CVs go out on the Linus Colonel, you know, every week or month is like a significant number, right? So the bugs exist. In fact, Stuxnet depended on five zero-day bugs that were in the software that Seaman put out. Now, it may seem a bit discouraging because it's like, well, if I don't know what the bugs are and there's no way I can know what they are, how in the world am I supposed to prevent against it? And this is, by the way, one of the critical things, and unfortunately, one of the things that I don't have a good solution for to offer you, and that's, at least in the Octo project, the solutions exist and you should all implement it, and that's like having some reasonably robust updating mechanism, right? Because these things will come out, you need to have the ability to update all the devices rapidly and securely and robustly so that you don't kill the device when you update it, right? I mean, clearly, if you have a situation where you have a customer who's like, well, let's say all the digital signs in Heathrow Airport suddenly become targets of an attack and become a botnet that started attacking your company's website, that might be not a very good thing to be known about. So yeah, no matter how careful you are, you won't find them, so you really need some way of robustly taking care of these things, and remember governments and kids, frankly, but governments are hard to work. Actually, sometimes history just works perfectly, but when I gave this talk last spring, the day before the New York Times had revealed had actually shown a photo of a building in Shanghai where the People's Liberation Army actually had the unit that was known as the Comet Crew. Comet Crew was doing a bunch of social engineering to start cracking into basically sites on the internet. Thus, the ostensible target were critical infrastructure, power plants and things like that, just have the ability to make sure that they could have an impact there. And actually, they probably don't even need that because of the CODISIS thing I just told you about. It's relatively easy to break in without even, you know, much in the way of social engineering, just a little bit of knowledge. So yeah, governments are hard at work. This is actually a cistern underneath the streets of Constantinople or Istanbul. So there's dark and secret places down there where people are doing things, and by the way, kids are doing this sort of thing too. It's not just, you know, governments. Americans, Israelis, Chinese, as I talk about examples, but plenty of other things going on as well. Right. If I haven't depressed you enough, just to be clear, I don't think there are other good answers either. A lot of people have said, well, gee, let's build our embedded devices using Android.  I love it. I just think in embedded situations don't think that Android is just going to be the answer because, actually, it's now a nice statistical graph that people are graphing the number of security issues that pop up in Android. And that, you know, it's now that you can start seeing, it's almost like particles, you know, particle physics where you can kind of see at a gross level how many devices are actually being, what are they, activating 1.5 million? Chris Simon said in his talk just before, there's 1.5 million activations per day.  Now, there are people who are working on some security enhancements to Android for the exact reason that people have kind of gotten themselves into the Android, you know, direction. And they go, holy cow, now what do I do?  But I just, I wouldn't necessarily say it's necessarily easier in an Android situation. In fact, there may be more things that you aren't necessarily taking out of Android. How many tablets actually had dialers tax in them? I don't know. But, you know, it's, you know, you just open yourself up to a lot of things that are bad things that could happen to you. So, it was a little cheese there. I don't know, it's just cheese. So, it was a nice market in Lyon, it was lovely. All right, so rather than just complain about things and scare you or whatever, what we're trying to do is actually do some things in the Octo project. If you're not familiar with the Octo project, I'm not gonna spend a lot of time talking about it here. But I wanna, you know, it is something that supports Intel PowerPC MIPS and ARM. It really, as Chris, I think, said it really well. Trying to collect all the sort of chaos, the different sort of build systems that lets you tailor exactly what you want in the Linux system. It's supported by a lot of vendors, TI, Intel, Wind River, Mentor Graphics. And the, who am I missing, Chris? Huawei, Juniper Networks, Erickson's doing a bunch of stuff with it. Who am I missing, I'm missing some people. I don't know, anyway, so a long list of vendors, as well as a lot of independent organizations. And we're trying to not only have a great and well-supported Linux for Embedded, but as well a great developer experience. And so, we have developer experience tools, plugins to Eclipse and that sort of thing. So, check it out if you'd like. And we're trying to do a few things to help out. One of the things is a certain amount of compiler flags. I thought it was funny that the Kernel Summit had a, you know, hats that had a corn cob, you know? So, because of Kernel, anyway. These things don't necessarily translate out of English. I don't know what they were doing, what they were thinking about. So, one of the kind of obvious things you can actually do with GCC is add certain tool chain flags that allow you to come on in. Well, we won't try and bite.  You know, some of the things that basically allow you to ensure that certain common attacks are essentially not available to attackers. Now, this is so incredibly simple. It just amazes me that this isn't something that's just a default. But we weren't doing it in the Octo project. And so, one of the things that we did was actually implement this in our 1.5 release. So, the release that came out, when did it come out? Last week? 18th. The 18th. Good. Last week. So, our 1.5 release actually has this, but it's not, we're also a little skittish about it too. So, we haven't implemented it universally everywhere, but there is one particular, what we call a distro policy. Essentially, what Yachto project does is allow you to create your own distro of Linux, right? So, we have certain distro policies. So, there's one called Pocky LSB that we're, and essentially what this does is it has, we've identified all of the things that Intel, or sorry, not Intel, but the Linux bits that don't work with certain of these compiler flags. So, we've done the hard work to go through everything that maybe fails because of some of these things. Now, the reason we haven't turned it on universally is we still need to do some measurements as to whether this adversely affects build performance or the target performance. So, we're still doing a little bit of work, but we have one specific example that you can look at, and very easy. By the way, even if you don't use the Yachto project, you can look at some of the recipes and some of the things that we've done and actually make use of it. It's like with all the packages that we've gone through in Linux, we've identified places where these flags don't work, right? So, there's some actual work that we've done to try to help with this. So, these are the compiler flags, the Pocky LSB distro policy helps you figure out. So, that's kind of basic sort of first step. We also have introduced something we call the Metasecurity Layer, and there's a terrific blog post on the yachtoproject.org website, which talks about a number of things in this layer. So, another architectural thing the Yachto project is, there's a layer infrastructure, which means as just typically, but anything that you'd wanna change in the basic things that have been set in Linux, you can essentially override any of them, shut them off, add new things. And so, it's effectively, that's the tailoring mechanism is in these layers. And so, essentially you can have a board support package, and maybe a user interface thing, and maybe specific things to your company that you wanna have set universally, and things of that sort. So, this Metasecurity Layer has a number of tools in it. And generally speaking, what the tools allow you to do is, just have things like static checks. Okay, so there's one called Buck Security, right?  But Buck Security, what it does, it'll just scan your target image and say, okay, common mistakes, right? How often have people, you've read about, oh well, somebody left a, accidentally left an administrator's password on the device, oops. Or, we have these great Eclipse debugging tools, right? For remote debugging, maybe you left, accidentally left the debugging agent, the remote agent on the target, oops, another back door, right? So, the idea here is to really scan through a number of common mistakes, common issues, kinda nice. Particularly if you're creating a product, it's nice to actually put this as part of the process of creating the product, right? Just do the scan. There's also some dynamic scan tools as well. The issue with security, of course, is that it's very easy for this stuff to get out of date. So, we're really trying to maintain these things and try and keep them fresh. What else am I missing about Metasecurity, Saul? Anything else that, by the way, this was also a piece, I'm delighted to say that this is something that it was, again, community contributed.  So, the work has started, but we're really looking for the community to help us maintain these things, right? So, I encourage you to get involved. Yeah, you mentioned Metasecurity. It has some other related static tools as well as some dynamic tools that need to be run on the system itself when it's running. Yeah, right. How security can you run actually on the root FS on the host before it even gets installed on the target? Yeah, that's an important thing. So, what I refer to as static tools are, of course, what you do at the end of having built Linux is you now have a root file system and it's like, okay, you can actually, before you even boot it on a device or boot it on a QEMU, you can actually run some tools against it. Well, again, check some common errors by just sort of examining kind of what's in the root FS. But you can, other things are more easy to check with a running system and so you can run that against either QEMU, which we provide, or the actual target hardware you're working on, you're debugging. So, that's Metasecurity. It's a door down below the streets of Rents and Champagne. So, there's this ancient door down there. This is where it's gonna be called, murky. And that's actually in the streets of Champagne as well. This, you know, the first king of France being baptized was kind of a fun picture. So, Meta-Measured is another interesting feature. In fact, this is another, two things I wanna say about this. One is that it was again, community contributed. It was not contributed by, you know, somebody who gets necessarily an Intel employee, but the interesting thing about this is an Intel feature. So, one of the things that Intel hardware uniquely has that's very interesting is a feature called TXT, which is Trusted Execution Technology. So, what happens is that the feature makes use of something called T-Boot.  But what happens if your OS has already been tampered with and essentially made all of the, any sort of virus checker inoperable, right? Or give false results? Even worse if you're running with a virtual memory system, right? Let's say you're running your embedded device in a VMM, which is the nice kind of thing to do, but what if somebody's infected the VMM, right? So, well, that's sort of even harder to detect with something running in user space after the system's booted, right? So, what actually that this does with Intel hardware is actually after you have done your boot of your VMM and your OS, it will do what's called a measured, it's a measured launch. So, it takes a measurement of that launch and then writes that measurement in some secure storage on the hardware itself, the Intel hardware itself. Then subsequent boots, what happens is that those also get measured and the measurement is compared against what's in the secure storage. So, in fact, then if you're, you know, somebody's tampered with the OS or the VMM and basically it implements a policy which is like, okay, you tell me what to do next, right? Now, different users of this have done different things. I was talking to a guy at Citrix last night. Citrix was actually, it was a citrus employee, Philip Treka, who, is he here? Awesome, I'm giving him props, he's not even here. No, this is great because in fact, Citrix uses this and if the measurement fails again, it'll pop up, you know, essentially before it gets into the OS, it'll basically give you a dialog box and says, did you do this on purpose because you just reinstalled Linux, right? Or, you know, or otherwise, maybe you need to go talk to your administrator and it's a password interface. Guys at VMware are using this as well. Their approach on VMware is to basically say, well, all of the storage is encrypted using TXT and so it basically doesn't give you access to any of the storage. So, again, the cool thing about this is that what Intel is actually trying to do to help with this is provide hardware that lets you actually use the hardware itself to validate that no one is tampered with the OS or the VMM. It's pretty cool. So, it's a great value for, you know, using Intel hardware. So, yeah, the meta-measure is the, you know, is the layer, check that out, it's another great feature. And I kind of like it because, you know, works with Intel.  In fact, SE Linux is a phenomenal, you know, secure, you know, Linux, trusted Linux environment that I think this ought to be just, you know, kind of, again, if you're going to create a device that has any kind of network connection, whether or not it's going to be on the public internet, remember those centrifuges were not on the public internet, but they got, you know, infected anyway, right? So, it seems like SE Linux is just, you know, kind of a natural thing to do. I'm delighted that our friends at Wind River, you know, maintain, you know, the Met-SE Linux. I strongly encourage you to, you know, make use of that as well. So, these are all things that are in the, our current release of the Octo project. Highly recommend you, you know, get involved with them and check them out. But we missed a couple of things that I was hoping we would have. I did mention back at, none of you heard me say it, so why am I even bothering you? But just in case, I just think for integrity's sake, I ought to tell you, I thought we were going to do some things that we didn't. Bastille Linux was something I'd heard about at the time as a great static checker. In fact, it turns out it's a little bit like this alley in another city in France where the buildings are so close that they're actually kind of, you know, have to have prop. It's not really well maintained, okay? Not very modern. Bastille Linux actually turns out as an HP UX tool that was kind of adapted for Linux. And so, we didn't do that, but we did buck security instead. So I think it's a bit more, you know, sort of Linux oriented solution. So that's good. But one thing I'm really disappointed that we didn't have is a decent updater.   One of the things we do in the Octo project, by the way, is we try and, you know, patch these relevant CVs as quickly as possible and we also provide them in point releases. But again, this is something that you really need to have a really, a good updater. Now, my idea was six months ago that we would use an updater that had been developed for an operating system project called Fenris, which one of the principal engineers at Intel was doing as a hobby project. And it's got a great updater. There's nothing wrong with the software. The problem is the Octo project is not a distribution. So it doesn't exactly work very well in that environment, you know, because what you really need with an updater, it's not just the software, you need to actually be updating something, right? I mean, this is the way you make software really robust and work well. Somebody needs to actually be using it and you're actually, right? You know, otherwise it's just somebody's hobby unless people are really pounding on it and using it every day. And I couldn't figure out a way, or actually the smart people, I couldn't either, but the smart people on the project couldn't figure out how to get us to implement this in the Octo project in such a way that we really felt good about the code. So it's probably much better for a real distribution to use an updater. And then at some point, you know, one of these becomes, use Fenris or one of the other ones, someone could contribute this back to the open source project. It would be phenomenal. But if someone's not actually using it in real products, it's more like a hobby and I'm not interested in putting it in the Octo project. So I'm all disappointed, but that's kind of the reality.  So I guess my encouragement to you as a community is, if someone could contribute something, if you would want to contribute something that's already being used, do you think it's a cool way of keeping embedded devices up to date, would love to get your software into the Octo project and give you all kinds of, you know, T-shirts and props will give you lots of public props since I think this is incredibly important. So let's talk a little bit about best practices, because you know, it's one thing to put a bunch of stuff in the Octo project and any open source project, whether it's SEO Linux or anything like that, but if you don't have an actual, you know, set of best practices to think about. And again, I understand where you are as developers. If you're not like developing something, an instrument that goes into military equipment or something like that, you may not really think that much about these issues, but I guess if there's anything that I could do to try and help you think about these a little bit more.  I understand the situation you're in. If there's anything we could do to try and, you know, reveal some of these examples without actually having somebody show up on the Wall Street Journal, I think it's a really good idea. So I'm hoping that I can get you kind of interested in this and really maybe push your employers to really implement more of these sort of things. So, yeah, this is kind of basic. I think just doing the hard work, use the tool chain armoring. We've put the Pocky LSB distro policy in place. So what it uses is there's a security flags.inc file and basically that file has all the magic in it. So that file, you know, basically has essentially what the definition of the full set of the flags are and then all of the other, you know, exceptions that we found where things busted as a result of it. So strongly encourage you to use that. I mean, it's, again, it's built into the, it's built into the frickin' tool chain. So just use it. This is sort of like a no-brainer. I wish that we had it universally adopted in all of our, you know, build profiles. I want us to be doing more work. Are you doing, are you taking notes about this? This would be awesome, you know? If I could just, you know. They used to say that, I don't know if I can say this. I shouldn't say the company name because this will get back. But there was some very, very large company, software company that they used to say that the way they did strategic planning is they went to the CEO's keynote.  He said, I try not to do that because A, I'm not a CEO and B, you know, it's another sort of project. Who cares what I think? But actually, I think this is kind of cool. We should do this more. We should actually try to, you know, really assess what the impact is and we're doing that. Okay, it's on the list, good. All right. Yeah, it's, there's a little bit of hard work sort of like this millstone that's in there that you need to just, you know, drive around, you know, grind the grain, but I think it's a good idea. I think it's really good to crack into meta security. By the way, if you're not, if you want just some text to read, there's actually a blog post on yachtoproject.org which talks about this. So just go to yachtoproject.org, look at the blogs, there's a blog entry which talks about the tools in meta security. Has been updated, by the way, to take Bestial out and put that buck in. Can you go check that out and just, you know, maybe hack on it real quick? See, we only do high quality stuff in open source. So yeah, you know, again, there's a suite of tools we're going to continue to work on it, continue to make sure it works and subsequent releases the yachtoproject. So, you know, that's probably another really good, you know, again, you get into a little bit more work now. Again, using the tool chain, armoring the flags, that's sort of a no brainer. This starts getting a little bit more work in this as it pops out, you know, error messages or things to look at. You're gonna have to do a little bit more thinking, a little bit more work to try and figure out are these things I need to fix. And again, I think it's a really good idea to put these things into some sort of process. A lot of what we're trying to do in the yachtoproject is not something that is a one time thing, but it's like, you do your work now for this device and you can reuse a bunch of it for the next device.  Oh, you can hack together a Linux, right? And then gosh, you have to do the whole thing again for the next, you know, whether it's an updated kernel or updated, you know, user space or whatever, right? You got to do it again. And a lot of what we're trying to do with the, a lot of the value comes not just from doing one device, but it's doing a product family. It's doing an ongoing, you know, set of things that will, you know, go through many different kernel versions, user space versions, right? Different families. So the whole idea here is to really leverage this. If you're only gonna do it for one device, maybe it's not all that, you know, interesting, but it's actually to create, you know, real value for your long-term product, you know, direction, right? Right, would you say that's true? Oh, okay, you're just grunting, all right. Use it so, I had a point there. Anyway, so try and make use of a lot of those things. I think that's a, I think those are good.  It says practice, but I think it's more than just a mechanism, it really is a practice.  And by a practice, what I mean is, you need to make sure that, or whoever's implementing the device, needs to make sure that a pattern update doesn't, you know, brick the device, right? Particularly if you do a BIOS update as part of this thing, or a, you know, firmware bootloader update, you gotta make sure that it doesn't, you know, that the thing will still work.  In fact, I was gonna pull out an example, you know, it's always fun to go to an embedded conference and have hardware, have hardware, oh, here it is. So, this is a little board that we just launched, Intel just launched, it's called the Galileo, and it was launched in a Maker Faire as a, you know, for Arduino support, so it's cool from that standpoint, right? But the other thing, since it runs Linux, and it's got a little, you know, Intel chip on it, basically the idea was a lot of great applications this will go into. Our CEO talks about the fact that it's, there's somebody who has HVAC equipment all over the world in both very hot and very cool parts of the world, and he's basically installing this thing in all of them so that it can do remote monitoring, and both for energy use as well as maintenance things and things like that. But if you're gonna implement stuff like this, this poor person who puts all these HVAC things out, they're a Linux, connect with Linux devices, you gotta ask yourself the question, is there a good update mechanism that that, you know, customer of ours is putting in place? So that's something that, and again, I think it's, one of the things that's good about, you know, if you have a hardware vendor that has security features in the hardware, I also think that's a good idea. Again, but that's a practice you need to put in place. This actually brings up another point that, seeing Chris back there, it reminds me.  In fact, it's probably, it may be worth it to bring an actual expert into the equation to think about it. It was a great talk from somebody at Mentor Graphics. I've mentioned Chris back there, he's from Mentor Graphics and they're great security experts at Mentor, Wind River, and our partners, and as well as consultants who are using the Octo project who have developed an amazing set of tools far beyond what we have in meta security, right? So that they can really employ these things to help you out. The thing that's always daunting about me is I see all of these things that security experts use and it just, it makes me depressed because it's like, I'll never be an expert in all these things. Well, I think part of the good thing is there are experts who can employ more of the tools and help you out. So I think the ecosystem is ready to help out. Right, Chris? I mean, yeah, right? So not just hardware manufacturers like Intel, but some of the people working in the ecosystem with the Octo project can really help get this stuff going. They're very cool on the board. All right, what else? So what's coming next? There are a few things. So one of the things, it seems kind of obvious, but just maintaining the stuff that we put into the Octo project is pretty important, right? We talked about the fact that we have a release last week. We come up with a new release every six months with the Octo project and this is actually the 1.5 release I think is our fifth or sixth, I think it's actually our sixth, 0.9, yeah. That's just basic math, I ought to be able to add it up. Yeah, it's our sixth release that we've done every six months, a little bit insane, let me tell you. But I can come within a week to a few days of where we targeted each of those releases and they all come with the latest, basically supported, released kernel, GCC tool chain, and as many of the user level Linux ecosystem components as we can, and again, the challenge of building an operating system is just getting the thing to work. When there's literally like a thousand projects all over the internet that you can choose from to build a working OS, it's a little bit challenging. We've done a lot of that hard work for you so you don't have to compete on the latest and greatest grep command, right? You can actually start with all that done and then build actual value on it. But that's incumbent on us as an open source project to do the somewhat prosaic work of actually keeping this stuff up to date and actually making sure we maintain it. And we'll, again, we'll love help if you find that we've missed something and you can submit a patch, we would love to include you with that. You know, I think one of the things that's all, I thought, oh, now I remember when I was talking about the value of the Octo project is actually it has, you know, it's not just for the one thing that you're going to be doing, but the whole, you know, sequence of things that you do over time, right? The next product and the next one and the next one so you don't have to redo things. But one of the things I think is incredibly powerful is really establishing kind of workflow. It's not just, can I get Linux and can I put some apps on it? But what is the workflow? And this is something that we've actually worked a lot about with the developer experience. We've added some things, not only our Eclipse tools, we've added Hobb, which is a graphical developer experience that lets you do things without necessarily resorting to command line. We have our first versions of our web-based experience. You could talk, you could also go to Jessica, Jong's talk today or tomorrow. I can't remember, it's either today or tomorrow. Talking about how you can use actually Windows to build your Linux system. What? Or you can use your Mac OS, okay, that's better. To build a Linux system, right? So those are the kinds, you use the web, use Windows, Linux, Mac, right? To use any of those to build a Linux system, right? So the developer experience is something that we're working very hard on. But there's yet another thing that I think is incredibly important. I've been harping with people about this for the last three years we've had the project out of how do you make sure the thing is done, right? What is the part of the experience which you can basically say, okay, I want you to just sort of do all of the stuff that you would normally do to release a product. Now, we already have some great stuff built in on licensing, for example, right? Because one of the things you have to do with a product that has GPL-based code in it is you need to provide the source code for the GPL stuff, right? And you need to provide, you know, it's good to have a license manifest. So we exactly do that in the Octo project. We have the ability to create, you know, an archive, a source archive so you can meet the GPL requirements. Oh, joy. You know, it's automated, right?  Awesome. But all of this should be automated so that not only should it be the, you know, the creating of the source archive and the checking all of these security things that are part of it that it's like, okay, this is like the last step that I do when I'm just about to burn the devices and produce, you know, hundreds or millions of them, right? It's sort of that finalization step. So those are some of the workflow things I really want to see integrated both into Toaster, which is our new web-based, you know, baking interface. We have BitBake, we have Bahab, which is what you cook on in England, I guess, and then we're going to give the Toaster. So anyway, but really to put it into the developer experience so it makes it, you know, makes it easier. So that's something we want to try and do. That's Hyde Park, I think, at some point. And then, you know, what are the missing pieces? So again, we're really looking for, you know, this is incomplete. Actually, this is an ancient Roman city in Turkey. I can't remember the name of it. It's unpronounceable to me, but it was like a few missing pieces to an actual complete city. So we're a little looking, you know, for really more help from you as a community to really help get us, you know, better, you know, tools, what are the pieces that are missing? So we're very open to this and interested in your help. So, uh-oh, yes, hit the right key. Okay, what's last? Again, I think, as a, you know, really, what I would encourage you to do is, I've said this about three or four times, I'll say it again, get involved with this as a project. Get involved with the Octo project, where it's a fun bunch. There are a few characters like every other open source project is, but actually, I think we've done some amazing things over the last three years and so I really encourage you to, you know, continue to work with us. We have a number of interesting talks today and tomorrow. I'll show a list of what they are. And, you know, let me just do that now, right? Thanks. Okay, yes, Jessica is giving her talk on modernized embedded links software development tools to achieve development anywhere. This is the development anywhere that I think is key there. Paul, this afternoon, is gonna be talking about the, one of the big things we did in 1.5 was we have integrated automated QA. So creating a QA framework is not rocket science. There's so many of them, just, you know, just pick one, right? But we actually now have the ability with when you do a build, basically, there's a suite of QA tests that run against it. Okay, so that it's actually checking the functionality of the thing and we're doing some additional extensions on that so it will automatically run against a bunch of, you know, real hardware as well. So we'll have a, you know, basically a lab of real boards that this will run against also. So it's very easy for you to integrate your own hardware into this as you do the build. It's like I said, finishing the thing, right? So you're not only, what do you have to do?   So we've actually, you know, hopefully simplified a bunch of the effort that we're doing to make sure things work. Jeff, tomorrow is gonna, tomorrow morning he's gonna have a bof on the OctoProject. Come on, your questions, comments, nasty remarks. Mark is from the, is from Wind River. He's gonna be talking about SPDX and the OctoProject. This is where the community is really trying to get on top of this whole licensing thing.  But he's gonna be, he will be, Ross is a very, you know, senior architect on the project, he's gonna give, I know it's gonna be, I haven't seen it. He always gives a very informative and entertaining talk with lots of good pictures and lots of good stories. So. There's also the chalk talks.  Okay. That's all my content. Are there any questions from the boss? Yes. I think, yeah, I think the question is, are there any robustification? I would say that's probably more in like MetaSE Linux. I think MetaSecurity is more the analysis tools. Yeah. Yes, please. Right. Ah, okay. So we support, you know, there's always religion about which package format you support, do you support DEB, do you support RPM? One of the things I love about the project is we support them both, as well as IPK, which is sort of a very lightweight, embedded-oriented package mechanism. I don't think we have signed packages, do we? We have RPM three support, but I don't think we actually have signing in. RPM five, sorry, I always get those confused. RPM five support. Not signing them. Good question, though. I know that's important. Please. So this is actually, so the question is, do we run different services as different users, UIDs basically? That's something that I believe is Android's primary security mechanism. Every application you install is a different UID. That's actually not a policy we've implemented in Yachto project. You certainly could. There'd be nothing, there's nothing inherent that says you must, so it's something that's available. Some recipes, as Dave said, it's not something that's across the board implemented that way. It depends on the service itself. Last question. Yes, please. Yeah, in fact, there are some of those that we haven't implemented because they didn't seem like they were as applicable to embedded devices. So I think that's probably an area we could do better on. The kernel maintainer, I don't actually see him here. He's probably going to the x86 talk at the same time. So I know of several that our candidates so far, I've looked at each, I've looked at them and I've said, I'm gonna see how they apply to embedded necessarily. So we probably will look at those as they come up for sure. Thank you very much. Make sure you go down to the booth and get your Yachto box. Thank you very much. Thank you.
