What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here so many talk about Candyman Since this is the month of the Candyman film coming out in the atacostas Candyman the spiritual sequel They've been referring to it as to the 1992 Classic horror film Candyman that starred Tony Todd as the titular villain and Virginia Madsen as this college student Heather Lyle or Helen Lyle rather that was doing a thesis on urban legends And of course that brought her into the path of Candyman walking through the town or the Urban area of Cabrini green so on and so forth. Sure. We all know the story We know how that film ended spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen that film again That moves me now for several decades at this point, but at the end of that film you have Helen saving Anthony McCoy Who who is the son of Anne Marie who we meet earlier in the film? She's actually returning in the updated film the sequel and played by the same actress and Vanessa Williams I believe her name is and she saves Anthony from the fire that we see at the end of the original film and she manages to get Anthony back to his mother By the end of the film she dies They all gather to her funeral to pay their respects and one of the little kids Jake drops the hook in Her grave as as a sign of respect for what she did at the end of the at the end of the film with Saving the little boy Anthony who is now the grown-up adult that we're gonna be following in this new updated sequel played by Yahab dual and I just want to really talk real quick about how I think this movie will end. So we know that we're supposed to have Tony Todd back We're supposed to have Helen back because we know what Helen actually became at the end of the original. She ended up becoming a legend herself becoming one of Candyman's victims and ultimately gaining the immortality that he has and we saw her first victim was her This this loyal dishonest husband Trevor So then jumping into this updated sequel Candyman 2021 Again directed by Nita Costa Jordan pill had a part to do with the script along with Nia and Anthony is now grown up. He has now gone on to be this struggling artist it looks like based off the trailers in these in this upcoming film and Something happens as seen in the second trailer he comes in contact with this local guy in the in the new updated Cabrini green area and He tells him this modified story about Candyman how Candyman would pass out candy around to the local kids the police would of course be looking for someone else who was committing some crimes and They associated those crimes with the wrong person the local Candyman. He was killed Unjustly and so he became another one of those urban legend stories just like The story that we first learned about in the 1992 film that Heather first heard or Helen rather Helen first heard at that dinner. She was having with Trevor and one of his colleagues and her friend Bernadette How Candyman was the son of a wealthy slave? Etc. Etc. He conceived with a with a white man's daughter Got a pregnant that of course was not acceptable back in those times He ended up getting killed as a result and that's where his legend started and then now Since he was kind of like the starting point his story isn't the only story because again There's references to this hive mentality the the story we're getting is just another version of The local Candyman myth just like how Helen is another version of the local Candyman myth We haven't seen Tony Todd in full-fledged costume anywhere in this trailer Or the first trailer that came out last year when the film was supposed to come out in June. We haven't seen Helen as far as I know some people are miscons are assuming Helen Is one of these ladies walking around in the museum shown throughout the trailer? That's not Helen. That is not Helen That's some other character Doesn't even resemble Virginia Madsen But I know that the actress that was cast to play Helen again, of course is not Virginia Madsen Unfortunately, but Helen Tony Todd's character At some point they're going to be shown in this film and we know that Anthony being the struggling artist that he is He's going to get told this narrative and then we also see in the trailer. He gets bitten by a bee So after this bee bite, we also see in the trailer something's happening to his hand and it would appear that Through some new macabre like artists artistry that he's gonna put on display. He's gonna be portraying The actual Candyman story got told to him. He might even have dreams or visions related to old Candyman myths involving Daniel and his encounter with that With that artist and his daughter back in the back in the Earlier centuries where he got killed and had the honey honey Splattered all over him and had his hand cut off and he might draw Daniel he He could also draw Helen and her demise that happened at the end of the original film, but then that leaves us with At what point is something tragic going to happen to anthony? As a result that leads to him coming face to face with the characters Helen and Daniel like I'm predicting will happen at the end of the film So what I think will happen is at the end of the film When we finally get to that part in the film where it looks like Daniel is in a church setting And something's happening where the torch of the Candyman legend is now being passed on to him That might be the scene where Helen And Tony Todd will finally appear in full body form in the camera for their little small brief cameos to us Anthony will have his hand permanently removed. He'll become the Candyman myth Because of what will happen to him at some point in this film Something wrong is going to happen to anthony as a result of the murders that are happening in the film And he'll be unjustly killed And then from there He will become the new Candyman. And so at that point in time, that's when we'll see Helen Tony Todd's character and anthony once again reunited for the very first time Since the since the events that happened at the end of the 1992 film when anthony was still just a little boy And they'll all be together again for that little brief Family reunion if you want to look at it like that and then anthony will just be another urban legend that will live on through Cabrini green because of what is going to happen to him at some point during this film anthony Is not going to make it out of this film alive It's it's more than apparent that that's going to be the case because of what we know happened to Helen And because of what we know happened to other people that were In these situations such as Daniel himself and the actual Candyman story that's going to be told to anthony at some point throughout this film But let me know what you guys think about how I think the movie will end down in the comment section below If you haven't I make sure you subscribe turn on post notification to miss a video in the description I have links to my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there Of course, there's any movies news reviews I'm going to cover in the future without it in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Hey ladies, I was sitting here today Contemplating some of the questions and messages that I get from people who say that they cannot afford To let go of some of the things that I have on my foods to avoid list and if you Haven't gotten that list go up into the link in my bio and download it for free It's called the foods to avoid to help you shrink vibrates naturally But here's my question. Are you going to allow your desire for? unhealthy foods to control whether or not you allow yourself to heal Think on that for a while


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in the ammo shortage is here and it will remain here for the foreseeable future I spoke with somebody who makes a living Reloading and he told me about two months ago that we're looking at 2021 before things even begin to look like normal supplies and if the election doesn't go the right way It will only be worse So that means that the shortage is not going away and we have to figure out ways to Get our ammo now. I have more ammo now than I have in Many years like I am sitting on a good supply of ammo and that's because I aggressively went out after it My dad told me said son if you want to do anything in life You have to be persistent and you have to be aggressive and I've done that and it certainly worked with the shortage of ammo now One of the things that many people are doing is they're waking up in the morning and they're scouring through the internet You know, they're going to their favorite sites and you're wasting your time when you do that because Everything is outrageously priced. For example, cheaper than dirt has wolf military classic $40 a box nine millimeter All right during normal times. This is around nine to ten dollars a box I bought six hundred fifty rounds for fifteen dollars a box and the guy I bought it from said I have a pallet and So I've got more than what I actually need and he was selling for fifteen dollars a box had I known he had a pallet I would have bought more but I did what I did and I've been shooting that lately Just yesterday. I went to the range. I shot over four hundred rounds and I wasn't too concerned about Preserving my ammo and that's because I'm stocked up pretty well above and beyond my safety supply my just in case supply I'm not here to brag. I'm just want to tell you my plan and This is what it is By locally and I'm not talking about going to your gun store. All right being aggressive and being persistent means talking to certain people Be willing to pay a little bit more and be willing to barter, you know, for example two days ago I picked up 500 rounds of spear lawman 45 ACP 380 ACP and 32 ACP and the guy gave me That ammo case all right all that was under three hundred dollars. That's not a great difference from Normal times. All right. Now one things of fact is that when the reloaders Cannot get their supplies when you can't get primers when you can't get powder That's when you know you're in trouble and that's the situation. We're sitting in right now Many reloaders are saying I can't find primers. I can't find powder. That's when you know Things are tight. What I do is I check the local forums. I get myself out there. I figure out what I want to trade I may have a whole bunch of shotgun ammo. Somebody's looking for that a while back. Somebody told me that Everything's for sale. All right. This when people say that's not for sale. No, no, everything's for sale It's what the buyer is willing to pay for it and what the seller is willing to accept think about it like a Vehicle that you want when you want a new vehicle You're not afraid to put yourself out there talk to people drive over an hour To go look at a vehicle because that may be the perfect one that 45 and 380 and 32 that I just showed you I drove an hour away to get it but now now I have it and I'm happy I have it because I don't have to worry about you know going to the range and shooting my ammo This is not going away Aggressiveness and persistiveness is something that we really need to do because I'm telling you There's somebody in your area that has ammo it is sitting in a closet somewhere and They either have no plans of shooting it or they're looking to sell it.   They are Registly priced they're looking to find the person who has nothing and if that's not you don't even bother with them Look around locally Talk to people market yourself and you'll be shocked at what comes back in how much you could actually get you're gonna pay a little bit More, you know, I would be careful bartering too much.  Those are Not advantageous for regular shooters. So that's my advice That's what I've been doing and I'm actually doing quite well sitting on more ammo than I typically have If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


I would say that actually additional motivation to get the EMAS for the company would be at first the financial and secondly the reduction of bureaucracy. So from the financial point of view I would say that there are different kinds of obligations to get financial guarantees which is coming from the legislation. And we would really like to see that the EMAS rich companies will get either relief from this or they can exchange existing guarantees with something less costly which serve the same purpose. From the bureaucracy side again the EMAS companies prepared reports which are quite deep which are actually verified by the third party which are open public which means that maybe we could use the same information already in our reporting and also that would be like input information for the controlling agencies, authorities to visit us not so often. And the Enhanced project is really good tool to put those good ideas in reality. So one day the EMAS companies could really benefit from this kind of additional motivation packages.


Welcome back. It's still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. We have a guest standing by for a conversation on the World Breastfeeding Week. Each year, one week is set aside globally to promote the benefits of breastfeeding organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action at the World Health Organization and the UNICEF. World Breastfeeding Week 2022 is being observed from Monday at the first of August to Sunday, the 7th of August. Olua Tosin Adipoju is a public health physician based in Lagos and she joins us live Zoom to discuss this further, looking at the significance of the week-long international observance. Good morning to you and thank you for joining us. Good morning. Thank you for having me. What exactly are the aims of the World Breastfeeding Week? Okay, thank you. So the breast, the World Breastfeeding Week is actually set up, the objective of it is to inform everybody so we understand the importance of breast milk as the first milk to give to children. So we are here to inform people about their role in strengthening breastfeeding and also to include breast milk actually with good nutrition to give children and also to engage organization in the community to support breastfeeding. Alright, fantastic. And so this is quite important. You say this should be the first thing that a child takes I mean this message of breastfeeding has been on for as long as I can recollect. Do you think that parents, families, the society is accepting, imbibing and practicing this message that has been shared over the past decades? So I'm coming in. So are mothers really accepting this practice and carrying it out? Are they adhering to the messages that have been shared over the past decades on breastfeeding? Okay. So mothers are actually willing to carry out breastfeeding but they need the support of the community. I mean the community that is breastfeeding friendly. You know, the mother is interested in breastfeeding and pregnant but if she has to go to work and there is no way to breastfeed, then she shouldn't breastfeed at the end. So apart from just being willing to be murdered, the mother has to be the community, people everywhere to support breastfeeding. Alright. So it seems that from what you're saying that it's not been totally accepted by some mothers. Is this a case that some mothers out there who do not breastfeed their babies? Okay. So like I said earlier, a lot of mothers are willing to breastfeed their babies. However, what you need is the environment where they find themselves. The environment where they find themselves, limit them. Imagine if the father does not support breastfeeding. The woman is limited. If she wants to breastfeed her baby. Imagine if she wants to breastfeed her child to a workplace but there is no room for her to breastfeed her child. Then she is limited. So like I said earlier, we need the support of the community of people. Imagine a woman in the public place bringing out her breast to breastfeed her baby. Some people don't do that and you just feel that, oh man, what are you doing in public? So we need a lot of people to accept it. So women are willing to breastfeed their babies. However, they need a supporting community to do that. Okay. How can the community support women? You've talked about sometimes bringing it out and the perception of people around. In what ways can the community support women who are breastfeeding to make it easier for them to do this? Okay. Thank you. So the support comes first when the woman is breastfed. During the antenatal care, women are supposed to be taught at their health center where they register for the antenatal care. They are supposed to be taught how to breastfeed their babies and how to and the importance of breastfeeding. Also, do the labor and delivery. They're supposed to also encourage them to breastfeed their babies and eventually when they deliver the baby, they're supposed to surround them with people, with friends, with fathers. So it starts with the husband of the woman to support breastfeeding. It starts with the friends and family to encourage them to be breastfed. Then even at workplace, it is important that organizers begin to have breastfeeding means for breastfeeding mothers so that they can bring their baby to work, keep their baby in the prayers, and when it is time to breastfeed their baby, there is a room to go to breastfeed their baby. And we also need to educate the community so everybody understand that breastfeeding is normal. So we don't think that something straight when we learn breastfeeding is important. There are some women who feel that they wouldn't want to breastfeed apart from not because of society lack of salary or support, but maybe it's a personal decision that they may not want to breastfeed. If that's the case, why do they take such decisions? Okay, so for women that should not breastfeed, the problem actually begins when we are aware of the importance of breastfeeding because we know if something is important, you will definitely feel it. For a lot of women, they feel that when they breastfeed their baby, maybe their breast is sad, or many of the things when the problem actually gets better. And they think forward and breastfeed at the same thing. So if you think for women that should not breastfeed their baby, you may choose to go for formula feed. But when women are educated, every woman will choose to breastfeed their baby. But it's lack of awareness, lack of knowledge of the importance of breastfeeding. So let's talk about that now. What are the benefits of this thing called breast milk? Okay, so the benefits of breast milk, so we have benefits to the baby, and we also have benefits to the mother. So benefits to the baby include this. Breast milk contains the appropriate nutrients that it needs for the first months of life. Breast milk contains the appropriate nutrients in the right proportion, and it needs to grow and develop well. We recommend breast milk for the first six months of life because it contains what the baby needs in the right quantity. And for the baby to grow properly. And second, breast milk contains substances inside it that helps to build the baby's immune system. So it helps the baby to fight the infection. So when mothers properly breastfeed their baby, they are sure that their baby is able to fight the infection. Another benefit of breastfeeding is this. Stockholders have shown that breast-fed babies, especially expensive breastfeeding for the first six months, actually make those babies perform better at school. And also breast-fed babies, they have less risk of developing obesity and diabetes. That is for the baby. And not for the mother. Not for the breast-fed.  And also it's a lot of work with two mothers a day. So these are the benefits of breastfeeding. Some people, I know people who, the parents came back to them when they were past menopause. The breasts have been taken off by the ones that came before them. Maybe they are telling their family from instant. By the time the last bone came, the thing was gone. And you know the mama was maybe 42, 43, and there was nothing in there again. And then they gave them probably some of these baby food. But it turned out great. They were successful. They went to school. They were smart. They passed their exams and everything. The thing is this, they were just to write aside on what you just said. When a woman give birth, it's natural. There are some things that are forbidden in the body for all your moments. The moment a woman give birth, she will menstruate it for just breast milk. So you are expecting of the number of children who are having the one. You are expecting of an age. The process called a cascade. The moment a woman give birth, breast production starts. So you are expecting of the number of births we bring. Breast milk will always fall. Now that is totally amazing. That's totally, totally, totally amazing. So you've talked about breastfeeding the child, especially it's important you said in the first six months of the child's life. First six months. So is this as a public health physician with your experience in training, is this meant to be just a breast milk? I think they call it exclusive. Or can this is okay if it's done in conjunction with other baby food? Okay, thank you. For the first six months of life, the warden of the physician recommended that we should only give babies breast milk. Only breast milk. No water. If you put breast milk salt in milk, the breast milk is enough. And that's what we call exclusive. If a woman is giving a baby breast milk and what is she not doing? If a woman is giving a baby breast milk and some people are still not doing exclusive. So for the first six months of life, all the baby required is the breast milk. And it is only if a man gives just breast milk for the first six months of life, we station it for exclusive, exclusive breast milk. Okay, all right. And after those six months, what happens? Is the child taking off the breast milk?  Okay, so breast milk is recommended only for the first six months of life. After which the mother can produce complementary feed. But still continue breastfeeding baby up to two years. That is what we recommend. So breast milk only for the first six months. After six months, she continues to be breastfeeding up to two years at this shop of complementary. So she gets other meals that she can give her baby in addition to breast milk. So breast milk doesn't stop by the end of six months. Breastfeeding continues up to two years. And why is that important to say this? It is important to continue breastfeeding for babies up to two years. Because studies have shown that by two years of age 20% of the grade is already given. So what the baby gets in those first two years of life is very, very important. So breast milk for the first six months of life and after six months she continues with the breast milk, she continues to breastfeed her baby and also as we mentioned feed for the baby to die. Interesting. You talked about, you know, it's an interesting fact of nature that once a woman gives birth, the milk begins to be produced and she can feed her child. But are there, it's a natural process. Are there things, foods, fruits, whatever, some sort of diet or nutrition that can be taken by women to enhance the quality and the production, a quantity of their breast milk? The best way to help milk production from the breast is to breastfeed. Because it's, when the more mother breastfeed the more the milk is put in. So you know, we've had cases of women complaining that their breast milk is not is not enough for their child but they feel that the breast is not really coming out. So they don't think it's difficult but they choose this to be produced. The baby must continue to suck. So as much as baby suck, when the baby suck out his baby, so the way to make the breast produce more milk is to continue to give the breast milk. And all these women can do is to take a lot of water. We are currently going to take a lot of water, take a lot of tap. So breastfeed baby, my baby is not getting enough breast milk to continue to breastfeed. The more you breastfeed the more the milk is being produced. So the sucking of the baby helps emulate the brain to help produce. Alright, let's look at some myths surrounding this issue of breastfeeding. Some people believe it's painful. Breastfeeding is not painful. Breastfeeding becomes painful when the woman not puts the baby to breast in the right way. So if the baby is not being put to breast in the right way then the woman can start having pain. But if she put the baby to breast in the right way, so that's why it's said that if you put that baby in the right way, mothers are to be trained how to properly breastfeed the baby. So if she breastfeed the baby in the proper way then she will not have pain. Breastfeeding is not painful. Alright, some people say for some mothers, the first few days of breastfeeding they'll know whether it's meant for them or not. So if you get it you can do it well in the first two or three days then it means that it's meant for you and if you can't get it maybe in the next two days or three days it means probably it's not meant for you to do. What do you say to that? Breastfeeding is for everyone. So it is important that mothers get into rights and they need the support of the matrions the better acceptance around the teaching them. It's women giving birth for the first time. The first time mothers and they think the baby is not taking it and not doing it the right way so they give up. Rather, they should be taught well to breastfeed breastfeeding is for all mothers because it contains the right movement of the baby.  Don't do it in front of the public.  It's not a nice thing to do in the public space so they don't breastfeed even in public. Now that's what I said we question to the community so that breastfeeding is normal and sending normal can be done anyway and everybody can support the mother to breastfeed their baby. So education to the community so organization is needed so that mothers can be accepted to breastfeed their baby anyway. It should not be something to be shameful about that we are feeding the baby. Education is needed for the community to see it as a normal thing to do. Alright some people experience can you hear me madam?  I've even seen the case where the baby bites the mother's nipple so these are two things what do you say to that? Why do they get so sore or they get some sort of bruise when they breastfeed the child frequently sometimes they say it's paining me I'll stop for now, I won't do it let me rest for a day or two they can't continue because of that pain and also number two why do some children bite their mother's nipple? Okay So in the first six months most babies they don't have teeth so they can't breastfeed the mother's breast but as they grow older that's probably a point and also when mother complain of pain in the breast it's because they are not putting the baby's mouth in the breast right away so there is a way to do it don't do it the wrong way you may have sores, you may have cracks around the breast it's very important they know how to do it the right way if a mother does it the right way she will not have pain and even if she has pain it is not enough reason to still breastfeed the mother she can breastfeed the baby on the other breast that is not painful and still continue to breastfeed on the painful breast so usually children and babies they don't bite their mother except as they grow older they may just be children just they may just be children just trying to but really no babies don't really have that the reason for having sores and cracks most of the time the mother is not putting the baby to breast the right way not because the baby is not what is the right way I know it may be a bit difficult for you to demonstrate because you don't have a dummy baby there but what is the right way to put a child for a mother to put a baby to breast okay so the right way to breastfeed the woman breast has a part we call the nipple and also after the nipple we have a part called the areola you know I don't have any other name to call it that's what we call it so we have the pointed part which is the nipple then the other part which is the areola it is expected that when you put your baby to breast that's your baby's mouth surrounding the areola you know for some mothers the only part getting to the baby's mouth is the nipple but no the baby has to also spoke around the areola so we have to ensure that the baby in the breast properly enter the baby's mouth so at the time the baby is shot the baby has the nipple and the areola part of breast in his mouth interesting, interesting so that is the area surrounding the nipple you are not mistaken, this is the areola yes, yes okay, you talked about breastfeeding it needs to be exclusive for the first 6 months then it can be supplementary baby food being given to the baby from 6 months up to 2 years some people feel that if you give a child breastfeeding for till he is 2 years old you are going to spoil the child you are going to spoil the child and it is not a way to raise a child maybe after a while before 2 years you have to stop because if you continue that long some people say the child may start rejecting solid food okay, so it is important that if you want to reduce poverty then introduce it the right way and don't stop breastfeeding the baby you know the babies they can't be a sponsor if you breastfeed up to 2 years it is not true the reason why we encourage breastfeeding up to 2 years is because of the brain development because we know the breast milk contains what we need but it is no longer enough to sustain the baby energy well so we say okay stop breastfeeding so the problem comes not to breastfeed the baby but mothers not knowing how to have something nicely feed what their baby takes that is why most of the time the children they breastfeed other food and all they want to breastfeed but if the mother are thought even at about 6 months how to properly introduce local foods other meals to what they are going to do then it will not go into the house babies so the world not willing to breastfeed hmm one of the things that makes some mothers not want to breastfeed maybe at a particular time is because they have not cleaned washed the nipples and they will say they need to wash it before they breastfeed the child so they stay back from breastfeeding the child until they can find a way to wash the nipples is it necessary to wash the nipples before you breastfeed your baby no okay not at all I mean if your mother you are sweaty and everything wouldn't it be advisable to wash it before you give the child it is not it is not a criteria to wash the nipples your nipples will be different all right it is quite interesting nothing is talking she is talking more than breastfeeding all right so how many times a day should a child be breastfed because I am sure that mothers need to rest at some point from the stress of the day on all of this so how many times is it recommended is it every time the baby cries you just put something in the mouth or you have a set number of times that the baby should be breastfed in a day how to demand how to demand how to demand how to demand how to demand for the breast milk mother should breastfeed their baby and that is why they need the community to support them so it is easy for them to do okay we also told some people say you know what if you don't get to breastfeed your newborn child immediately you won't be able to do it so as the child pops up the first after birth you need to push your breast into the baby's mouth is that true it is recommended that baby should breastfeed okay so if you don't do that within the first hour maybe the mother is weak or she's been attended to in the house or something does it mean that she won't be able to breastfeed the child again no no no that is what you recommend with the World Health Organization recommend but a lot of situations arise a woman that does a decisions session may not I was put to sleep to deliver a baby may not be able to breastfeed a baby but the moment the mother is awake then the mother should put the baby to breastfeed what about mothers who are taking medication you know maybe they are sick it affects the breastfeeding okay it depends on the medication not on the medication are contraindicated some are and some are not the mother is taking any medication you need to discuss that with her doctor so that they can tell her if ma'am despite taking this medication you can still breastfeed your baby and if she can't then she should look for alternatives finally very shortly please how do you win the baby of breastfeeding especially for those who have gone 2 years on this how do you win them very quickly please so is that breastfeeding much better excluding for 6 months and like I said earlier you just give breast milk and demand but as the baby as the child grows older the child will take less of breast milk so that way we will win the child's milk and only some women will feed you probably will be giving the child breast milk and demand so this way the child will demand food you give you give something else so that way you know what tostina depoju has been lost a lot of tostina there can you hear me if not would like to call it a day at this point and thank you very much for your time she is a public health physician based in Lagos as we celebrate well breastfeeding week I think one of the takeaways is that she said breast milk is good for the mother and also good for the baby I didn't hear her say is good for the father so how about the men listening it's for the mother and for the baby thank you very much I was just on the light thank you very much for your time and happy breastfeeding week so all the men in the studio have been looking and laughing and swarming even in the control room you have to understand it's for the mother and for the baby we'll be right back up next to talk about privatization of public hospitals in Nigeria national president of the Nigerian Medical Association is our guest


Quiz Automatic Grading If you want to assess your learners formatively or summatively with questions for which you have specified answers, Moodle's very powerful quiz enables you to do this. We can only look at a few of the features in the quiz in this screencast but it's worth exploring more yourself and in the Moodle documentation. Quiz allows you to add different types of questions not just multiple choice and it also allows you to add as here media, images, video, sound files as part of your questions. If we go to our course and see how to add a quiz, the first thing to note is that in the administration block there is a link question bank. When a quiz is created in Moodle you create the questions separately and store them separately so they can be reused by you in a later quiz or by your colleague in the same course in a different quiz. So if you wished you could start by adding your quiz questions to the question bank here and make the quiz another day. To add a quiz we turn on the editing by clicking the button top right or the link in the administration block and then in the section where we want the quiz we click add an activity or resource. This takes us to Moodle's activity chooser and we scroll down to quiz. Quiz is an activity because the learners are interacting with it. If we click it once we get information as to how best to use a quiz and then we can click the add button or if we understand about quiz and don't want to read the information simply click the radio button twice and then this will bring up the setup screen. The first thing that we will do is create the front page if you like of the quiz. The name and the description which quiz learners will see and if you want the description to appear on the course page just tick the box display description on course page. There are many different settings in a quiz and it's worth exploring all of them. If there's anything you're not sure of the question mark help icon gives you extra information. For now we're just going to click save and display and we now have a blank quiz and what we need to do is to start adding some questions which we can do by clicking the button edit quiz or in the administration block by clicking the link edit quiz. We then see add and if we already have questions we could add a random question to our quiz or a particular question from the question bank which we might have added to earlier or a colleague might have added to earlier but we are starting anew from nothing so we're going to click to add a new question. We are then presented with a list of questions to choose from and just like with the activity chooser if we click the button next to a question type we're presented on the right with some information as to what that question type does and note that although most of these questions are questions where you provide the answer it is possible by choosing essay to have learners type in an essay which we would then manually have to grade. Note also there is a description question this isn't a question type as such it's just the text editor into which you could add an explanation some instructions, images, videos or sound. For the purposes of our quiz I'm just going to add a multiple choice question. We are then sent to the setup for this particular question. We have to give it a name although the name doesn't appear in the quiz but it's important because it's how we would recognise it in the question bank in future particularly if we have a lot of questions ourselves and perhaps shared with colleagues. In the question text that is where we write the actual question then as we scroll down what we see will depend on the question type but we'll always be able to add general feedback for any question and then in the answers because this is multiple choice we add the first possible answer with the grade none we add none if the question is wrong and a hundred percent if it's right however there are as you see options in between we can give specific feedback for each individual answer and if we want to do more than just write simple text we can use the icons in the text editor so again we write in our other choices choose the grade and we continue and when we click save the changes we have our first quiz question which we can preview by clicking the magnifying glass icon so we then go on and continue adding questions to our quiz finally looking at a quiz that's already been made it's easy to change the order of the questions by dragging them up or down and to add or remove page breaks by clicking on the icon


This is State Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Welcome back to the Cyber Underground. I'm Dave Stevens, your show host. We have some lively content and discussion going to happen today. And joining me today is Andrew, the security guy, and Hal, our network guy. Welcome, guys. It's great to have you aboard again. Good to be here. We're going to just tackle some topics right away that just like, we're just going to get all fired up. I know we are. The one that's firing me up, though, we're just going to jump right into Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general of the United States. So Tuesday he's giving a speech. Last Tuesday he's given a speech in Maryland. And apparently they're going to start the full court press on breaking encryption in the United States for tech companies. So they want tech companies to either give them the keys to the kingdom or build in a backdoor to all their security systems so the government can come and look at all your data. What do you guys think about that? What's the point of having encryption if it has a backdoor? We keep the bad guys out as their point. We keep the bad guys out of the data that we're storing places and data in transit. But then as we've seen with other federal organizations like the Office of Professional Management, who does the DOD security. Personnel. Personnel management, sorry. OPM. OPM. They leave out my data, by the way. Yeah, if you go for security clearance, they know everything about you, right?  And they got breached. So they released all their data. Equifax released all their data. So we're supposed to trust the government to build in a backdoor to all of our encryption and then trust them not to get breached because if they got breached, that's secrets out. And now all the bad guys can now look at our data. And again, we're back to what's the good encryption? Why are we encrypting things? Then there is no more encryption. So their argument is this is a law enforcement issue. We've got to look at what the bad guys are doing. But then it seems to me, and you tell me if I'm thinking about this, right, it seems to me it comes down to just like snail mail, the post office, right? The government doesn't come on to open all our letters and open all our packages and look through all our mail. But this is equivalent. We're sending email, and they want to read it all. So if we encrypt our email, and they're saying, no, we want to read that email, but why don't they just go to the post office and open all the letters? I'm of the opinion that they already do, just so we're clear. They just x-ray it or something? No, not our snail mail. But they could, obviously. Pre-send, pre-package, pre-post, right? And so a couple of things. If they want the encryption keys, we don't need to have a hard-coded backdoor. They can just decrypt the information and read it, right? If they have a chance. They don't need to weigh in because they're going to, they can get in with standard protocols because they know the encryption, right? So we don't need to give them a back, because the backdoor is bad. We know that. We can't have hard-coded backdoors in anything. But if we give them the keys, isn't it the same thing? Of course it is. And they have not really demonstrated much of a track record for maintaining things like that over time. You're so nice to say they haven't had a good track record. I just don't see it. They've got complete failures across the board. There's a lot of stuff that hasn't been stolen, but there's a lot of things to have. That's true. We know this. We haven't heard about it. And we don't know. Some database is getting out. Yeah. And obviously we know when someone breaches something, especially government agencies who are trying to get intel about each other, they don't just go in, get in today, and take your stuff today. They go in and hide and work their way laterally. So there's an advanced persistent threat. Yeah. So they're waiting to sifting through, seeing what's valuable, some of it's good, some of it's from the guy on the grass. He knows who gives a crap, right? He's already gone. Those are the worst. The APTs, advanced persistent threats, because they're there for a long time, and they might not get something today, but there might be something juicy tomorrow. And that's the door to install other tools with, right? So to gain leverage on the networks, because how it's how he breaks in, and he just stays there, and he never leaves. I can't confirm that. So that's what I think about that.  I think they should hack it, figure it out themselves. Like, just keep working on your quantum computers, and you can break off our encryption. Anyway, they can afford quantum encryption and quantum computing, and we can't. So they should be able to beat us to the punch. I mean, I don't think it might be there. Who's this guy? Was he a senator or something? Rob Rodensey? Yeah. Rob Rodensey, deputy attorney general of the United States. What does he know about encryption? Anything? What's your feeling? Absolutely nothing. Probably a bureaucrat or a legislator. The only thing they understand is that it's blocking them from looking at you. Investigations, sure. And I think that people need to be able to protect their information, right? That should be my choice to encrypt it or not, and my choice to let you read it or not. And if I'm a criminal, then I think the cops should be smart enough to break whatever I'm using to hide it, you know? So it goes back to the Apple iPhone right after the San Bernardino attack, right? My personal opinion was the FBI was a whining bunch of crybabies.  Stop asking us to break open doors. And someone did they ultimately found someone who broke it open for them. That's what I'm saying. I think breaking these technologies is pretty strict. And they made themselves look bad in the whole process, right? Telling everybody we can't break this and having to hire an outsider.  I'd like them to get in there and break also. I kind of think they are. I mean, a lot of these busts that happen, it seems like they're kind of in tour already and gathering information. So I'm functioning from a position they're already in there. These are the door in the dark web. Yeah, well, I think that all these encryptions broken is what I think. And so I think they want to keep acting like it's not. So they say, we want you to give that. So I think it's a big media stunt. I think they're already in there. They already know. And they can get to it whatever they want to get to. They just don't. No, that's a good question. That's really critical. From a law enforcement perspective, that is a great strategy. Don't let anyone know you're in. And that's the best spot right? He knows you. Yeah, he's begging like, oh, we really got to get this law, but you know, you're already there. That's a show. Yeah. You know, it's funny that this is a kind of a conspiracy theory that we're launching here. And in our last show, I got a comment on YouTube. And I told you guys, I was calling. I was called a fear mongering show. We're not fear mongering. I'm taking some. Cyber security, people shouldn't fear it. We know what to do, how to protect yourself to the level you can.  That's what I say. Yeah, I hope so. I hope that they are broke. I mean, they can look at whatever I've got. I'm not hiding anything. This is what freaks me out a lot about the privacy war, right, the privacy issue, which people are entitled to their privacy. And you're entitled to all your privacy all day and twice on Sunday until you're doing something wrong. And then I don't think you should have your privacy more personally. That's just me. So they come to me. They want some help. How can you ask?  I'm helping. I don't want to be big brother, but I want to be his little helper. His little helper? For that kind of stuff. You know what I'm saying? People trying to steal state secrets. People trying to steal our technology. People trying to steal intellectual property from companies. We have a right to try to protect ourselves from that stuff, right? Sure. But in private citizens, up to nothing at all, the cops are going to come looking for you. Man, they're busy. There's a bunch of bad guys out there. It's all a matter of who's most important. Yeah. But that doesn't satisfy the privacy argument that this is based in. And I understand that, right? They want everything wide open to make it just completely for them. And so I encrypted it all then. Let's just make it wide open. I figured it already is. Well, it seems to me that if the law enforcement agency wants to break your stuff, they should get to be as good as the hackers that they're trying to protect you against. And they are. And fight a war on equal terms, not a whine about, hey, we need less encryption, because that's just given the bad guys tools, too. We're pretty good.  Yeah, we're pretty good. For our audience who does not know what Stuck Snet was, can you go over Stuck Snet? That was an air-gapped attack, right? So developed to walk. Because this stuff's not on the internet, right? What they attack. It doesn't exist. OK, this is air-gapped. Air-gapped. So this system that they attack aren't connected to anything. I've got to somehow get my malware introduced into a system that's not connected to anything. So just think it's in its own little box somewhere. And somehow I've got to get in that box.  A flash drive. To take in there. That's right. Walking a sneaker net. And they walked it right in there, as predictable, because humans are a problem. We know that. And they know they're not supposed to do that, but somebody did it. I want to know what's on that flash drive. They walked that virus. They walked that malware right in there. And infected that place and, in fact, tore it down. No, that was the attack on a nuclear plant. Yeah, Iranian, what do they call it? Centrifuge. Centrifuge facility, exactly, for enriching uranium. So those centrifuges operate on stepper motors, an electrical circuit, that have certain numbers of microscopic turns per cycle. And this virus apparently stepped that up quite a bit. So they spun. I think it burned them all up. It burned them out. Well, showing the operators that it was operating. Yeah, it looked normal. It's like, yeah, no alarms. How's that, right?  How's that? Yeah. So I'm saying. I mean, that stuff. So Stuxnet, I think if we wanted to, we could. And I just think if the attorney general, whoever's clown, is, if he wants to be in there, he's already there. So what he has to have, this is where there's protection, right? Because the FBI, people like that do these investigations, they got to go through some lawful processes to go investigate you, right? And so that's what he's trying to get around all that. Just have it evolved. He's just being lazy. They already can come in and look. So that speaks to the Trump administration, I think. Oh, you see. I do. I think they want it all. They want it right now, and they don't want to work for it. That's but the theme since he's been in there. Well, the rest of us have to work out here. I mean. I hate to admit it, but that's most of America. We want it all. But right now, we don't want to work for it. We just ain't been raised right? Or I mean. No, none of us have. We're selfish. What is it, the instant gratification people now? It's because of the, yeah. We do have access to a lot more than we've ever had, right? I mean, isn't it easy? Yeah, it's too easy. We talk about how our vice-hosts internet smart, right? You can go in because you read Wikipedia, now you know something. You really know enough to be dangerous is really the issue. Who does 50 pages of research? They just take the top of the link and go, oh, this must be what it is. They go read that stuff when they read it. Oh my gosh. So the person they call me a fear-mongering shill, I guess my statement to that person is please get your news from something other than Fox News, Facebook, or write nation.com. Go out someplace else and see that there's a bigger world out there. I have no idea how you stumbled across my video for Think Tech Hawaii. It must have been that I put gun laws in the title. Great, come on back sometime and have an intellectual discussion with me. I put a comment in your response saying that I'd like to have some kind of a dialogue with you if you could list your concerns. Other than that, fear-mongering shill. I take you seriously. Yeah, me and me. I'm fear-mongering. Name, call, and help. I mean, we're all about solving the problem here. We're not trying to make people afraid of the problem, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. There's many, many, many things that you can do. And people need to just do them. This is what we find. People are like, oh, it's mysterious. No, it isn't. It's well-written, well-designed, how to go in there and start assessing yourself for vulnerabilities and how to protect yourself. And that's what we're about. We're about to educate. We're about here to help. We're not trying to create fear. We were in fear mode like years ago. Now we're not afraid anymore. Now we know what to do. Now we're in the fight. We've crossed over. Yeah, we're in the game. We're in the fight now. And we're in the game. And it's, I think, who was it that said it? It said it to you and I both that we were somewhere and they said, cybersecurity, it's no longer a career. It's a crusade. Yeah. Yeah, you're on the front line, the vanguard of the assault, and you're fighting all the time. Because the moment you stop fighting, someone gets you. Yeah. This is how it is. And that's life. That's how it is now. And I love when people say, what have we come to that? Cyber security is such a big issue. And that's just so complicated. Well, if you go back any decade in the history of the world, there was always some horrible thing going on that you always had to watch out for. We had smallpox. We had polio. We had wars. We had the wars before. We're far worse than we were. War is very, very strange warfare. Yeah, World War I, man.  How's that? We don't have that anymore. Well, we have nuclear weapons. Maybe that'll happen. Do you think that's going to happen? What happened once? There was a couple of days there where we were testing. The technology worked. It did work. That's right. We have a passion for, as you mentioned, cheaper, easier, faster, more value, blah, blah, blah, technology delivers that to everybody. So they just get hungrier for more and more. But what they did, and a lot of you don't realize, that's what the consumer has asked for. That's what business built you, but they didn't build security into it. We've had cybersecurity forever in the IT space. It was built into the spec, the IEEE specification for all these protocols, all this stuff. Security's in there. But when they built the webcams, they didn't have that. The guys who designed it just didn't bake it in, because it was more expensive. And you, Mr. Consumer, wanted it cheaper. That's right. We wanted cheaper. We wanted great. We wanted right now. We wanted great. We're not so concerned about quality anymore. That's kind of it. Especially security, because you can't see it. They didn't know. So you know. But the UL's coming out with a standard now? 2,900. I was just talking with them today, as a matter of fact. Underwriters' laboratories. You guys are going to get on that standard. There's a new standards development group. You guys should get on it. OK. Now send you the link. All right. Yeah. I'm up for it. For sure, because they need that convenience. They need that one. I can do it. I can do it. Yeah, it's all right. We have nothing else on our plate. We're going to take a little break right now. I'm going to pass the bills. I'll be right back until then, everybody. Stay safe. Hi, I'm Ethan Allen, host of a likable science on Think Tech Hawaii. Every Friday afternoon at 2 PM, I hope you'll join me for a likable science. We'll dig into the science, dig into the meat of science, dig into the joy and delight of science. We'll discover why science is indeed fun, why science is interesting, why people should care about science, and care about the research that's being done out there. It's all great. It's all entertaining. It's all educational. So I hope you'll join me for a likable science. Guys, don't forget to check me out right here at the Prince of Investing. I'm your host, Prince Dykes. Each and every Tuesdays at 11 AM Hawaii time, I'm going to be right here. Stop by here from some of the best investment minds across the globe. And real estate, finances, stocks, hedge funds, managers, all that great stuff. Thank you. Hey, Laha. Welcome back to Think Tech Hawaii. You're on the Cyber Underground with Professor Dave, Professor Howe, and me, Andrew, the security guy. Anyway, it's National Cyber Security Awareness Month. It's also the Governor-proclaimed Hawaii Cyber Security Awareness Month. We're giving classes all over town in the libraries and the malls. So if you're worried about cybersecurity for your home systems or for your small business or whatever, you really don't know anything about it. And you want to come out. We've got some great advice that we're going to share with you, things you can do about how to lock down your log-ons, how to clean your PCs, clean your machines, what kind of backups you ought to be doing, things like that. So come on out and learn. Check out. There's a website up on the State of Hawaii website. So go just Google NC SAM, National Cyber Security Awareness Month. And you'll find us. And sign up and come out and learn how to live, how to stay safe online. I think that's the motto, stay safe online. That's right. So thank you. All right, guys, back to the episode here. OK, so I think the website you're talking about is OHS.Hawaii.gov forward slash cyber. See, that's why we have a professor here. Somebody knows something. I just met with Randall yesterday. He's trying to recruit me for stuff. Yeah, we need more teachers. I'm going to hon a car. I hope you guys are ready for me out there, Monday night. We're actually going to do our student club does pen test for local companies out here. We're looking for volunteers from the DHS, the FBI, the NSA to come out and mentor our students during the pen test. Nice. It's going to be big, two of maybe 30 students. Turn your stuff off, people. This is going to be awesome. Five different locations for this one company across the state, different islands. And students are cyber security qualified now, some of the CEH recipients. And they're going to participate. That certified ethical hacker. Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, I'm usually pretty good about that. There's also an event coming up on October 25th. Hal, you want to tell us about that? Sure. At Capriani Community College, we're going to be having a wet wear Wednesday. You know, what's wet wear Wednesday? Describe this to our audience, they might not know. It's kind of a networking slash social event for people in IT and students and professionals to just kind of get together and meet each other and share some information. We have a couple of speakers showcase some student projects. Yeah, some of the student projects that we showcase are the former pen test that we've been doing for the student clubs. So they can show us the results of their last phishing email scams on certain companies. And they actually make some money for themselves. So how do I be there? Hope you guys can join us. October 25th. 6 PM to 8 PM, free parking, free food. And green spot. And no. We're not allowed to have alcohol on campus. Although I would say. That's the after party. That's the after party. Which is what you really want to get invited to. Well, you drink too much green spot, you have that what's that nerd argument? We always have Star Wars versus Star Trek. Oh, that's the kiss of death. Yeah, you lose all the girls at that time. That's bad. Let's talk about something else that's just a hot topic that's going to kill us. And this one, we're so passionate about this one. What's up with this thing called cyber insurance for companies? So companies want to sell you cyber insurance. And their premise is, if you get breached, if you get hacked, we'll pay for something. But that's kind of ambiguous. And you were telling me the applications you fill out completely irresponsible, if you ask me. Because if you do get breached, then the real questions come. Can you describe your experience so far? You've actually seen these applications from insurance companies to apply for, quote unquote, cyber insurance. They don't like me very much. Well, you know what you're talking about. No, I know what questions to ask. And what I find is when we talk, we all talk about the NIST, the Cyber Security Framework. We talk about the control set that NIST developed, the 800-53, which is a set of technical controls primarily, you know, 99% technical, about 1,700 of them in the whole 853, I think. These are things that you need to go check to make sure you're doing it and therefore you're secure for that rule. Yeah, for that particular control. Local factory authentication of door locks that work that can be monitored and logged. You have rotating backups. You have a security plan. These are things that are just common sense to a lot of people. Yeah, administrative privileges. All these types of things are controlled, right? And so how they're described, what the control implementation that you have, is it monitored? Is it automated? Do you report on it daily, weekly, monthly, right? So there's a lot of measurement that goes on there. And these applications for cyber insurance don't talk in that language. They keep it very, very generic.  So they'll go, yes. But that's not the appropriate way to question. The thing to do is to look at the control set and see how you've applied encryption to the types of data that you have. Is it level one, level two, level three? According to the NIST has the RMF, right? The risk management framework. So, you know, there's all these other... Well, let's tell people we can get that information out. It's on the NSA website. On the NSA website. And at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, right? Yep. .gov. Yep. And you can go there and you can get the cybersecurity framework. All this stuff's there. All of the recommendations for all businesses. Even small businesses, enterprise, all of it. They're 871 for small businesses out there. So it's those small business regulations. We're talking about NIST makes special publications. And they code them 800-53, 800-171. And the 171 is for small businesses doing business with the federal government. Isn't 800 the IT series, right? It's been... Because there's 812 and all of those, right? There's a lot of other stuff addressed in there. But it's been around a long, long time. It's on Rev4. We've had this stuff for a... Rev5. Rev5. Rev5 is on Rev5. That's right. So, you know, so anyway, so this stuff's tried. It's tested. It's true. The best in the DOD, the best in the Fed, these guys, these are the rules that you... Now, it doesn't mean they always get them right.  You might get one wrong and get hacked anyway. So we know this has happened, right? That's Snowden. That's Equifax. And then inside, our threat was Snowden. Sure, he had administrative privileges to go places. Well, he made an account and then elevated that account's privileges and then logged in as that account. So he didn't need a trace of himself. He went and did another account. What a guy. Yeah. Well, no one was monitoring that. There you go. They're not supposed to have privileged access that easily. That's right. And they didn't follow the rules. So you don't follow the rules. You get breached. And that's not if it's when. And so this stuff's out there. And when it comes to these insurance guys, and I've just been in some rooms with some of them and speaking with them. And it's not that they're trying to scam me by. They just haven't been doing it long enough. It's not a mature industry. It's not a mature offering. You know, for your automobile, how long have we had cars now? 150 years or something? I don't even know. About 100. I mean, that's how old mine is. I don't know about you guys. I think 1890s, yeah. So you know, there's a lot of information about cars and safety. And they've compiled all that. They built great actuarial tables based on age groups and where you drive. And just all kinds of stuff's known about it. But cyber for small business, there's just not enough information yet. All we know is it's all bad. So they give you this policy. It's very generic, right, with a lot of generic questions that you answer. And probably you're going to say yes, because you think that's going to lower your policy. Instead of actually going to discover the answer internal to your organization, like how's my firewall really configuring? No, let's stop for a second and ask the networking guy. OK, so if you're filling out a questionnaire and you say, do you have a firewall? You say yes. What's wrong with that? That could mean a lot of things. What could that mean? That could mean that you have a play school firewall or that you get a play school firewall for 25 bucks on a price list or something. Or it could mean that you've got an enterprise-level real Cisco ASA, something like that. In the box on a shelf. Right, just setting it up. You didn't actually set it up. The other thing is, do you have it plugged into your network? And if so, is it actually doing any kind of thing? Or is it just set up to let everything through? Yeah, where is it on your network? Is it preventing everybody from going out, except through the firewall, coming in through the firewall? It's supposed to be right there at that point, right, the transition point. Did you change the administrative password? Are you applying that? Did you lock down remote access, right? You really want to work on it from the inside. You don't want to get to it from the outside. It's a much, much more complex question than do you have a firewall. Yeah. It needs to be a whole set of standards that the firewall needs to be configured according to. So I think we get back to Nest. Yeah. I refer people, user NSA has the commercial solutions for confidential. So they have guidance for things like Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, Brocade, all of your major players. And if you put in this gear, you configure it this way. In theory, you're supposed to have one of their certified companies do that to actually claim your NSA. They only have like two of those companies in the state.  Is it referentia? Yeah. The only one. Which is, they're great. So I mean, use them if you really don't know. But you could follow that yourself and get, that's pretty good security. I mean, if you don't know what you're doing, that's some reasonable guidance. And the goal is not to make it impenetrable, because you're never going to make anything impenetrable. The goal is to make yourself such an unattractive target that they move on. That's right. Right? To have somebody layers to get through. To have layers, exactly. Somebody else is more easily hacked than you. So you're no longer the big target. If you want to find out, go to Shodan and just see if you're there. Shodan, the website that tells you all the default passwords for all the devices, like the firewalls and the considerate Wi-Fi. Or you can search it for port attacks, like just port 28, port 40, which ones are open out there. And this isn't even on the top right. 25, I guess, in Shodan.io, is it? Yeah, people have this stuff. Except if they're sitting there exposed, right? Shodan can find it. And it can see it in the northern. And then they publish it. And there's a tax that you can, there's a tax that they run against that, right? So I'll be saying, oh my gosh. So if you show up on Shodan, you better make some changes. Your firewall is not going to work very well. So here's my few of the cyber issues. You're already owned. You're right. Here's my fear with the cyber insurance, right? They ask you, do you have a firewall? And you say yes. And they give you your premium. But then you get breached. Then the questions come out that are probably in the fine print in size two font in gray on the very last page right below the signature line where it says you must have properly configured your firewall. Yeah. And they don't ask you that question. It's usually not even there. Yeah, it's not in the fine print. But then the investigators come out to try to not pay you. Yeah. Well, you didn't have this firewall configured. Yeah, you just asked me if I had one. It's in the box. It's right there on the shelf. There it is. I answered the question. You didn't really have to pile it up. Yes, it is. It's a pretty box, too. I've never seen it. But it looks like an expensive box. I mean, you know, so for, but anyway, that's, it's, and I don't get the sense they're trying to not pay. But I do get the sense, and it's, they're big, big companies, right? And they really know how to do insurance well. And I don't get the sense that they're doing, they're investigating cybersecurity. They're getting guidance, following known guidance, like from NIST or whatever.  We can stay vague. We can talk and, and we can talk about stuff like it's not solvable, but, but when we know what to do, then we're just being ignorant when we don't address it properly, you know? And cause we need to talk in the language of controls. I think that's, that's a common language. It works across ISACA, NIST, and whatever it needs. All kinds of agencies in Australia, 35, doesn't matter where you go. They, there's cross indexes for all that. So we're just talking about, we're out of time. What? I know we can talk about this forever. I thought about it. While that's fast. Sorry, that doesn't mean to rant. It's fast. So I think the point is AIG travelers, everybody call us cause we know what we're doing. Apparently you don't. So thank you so much for watching the show. And remember, stay safe.


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE, covering Informatica World 2017, brought to you by Informatica. Hey, welcome back everyone, we're live here in San Francisco for Informatica World 2017. This is theCUBE's exclusive coverage of the event happening at the conference, customer conference, industry conference, Informatica, Informatica World 2017. I'm John Furrier, my co-host, Peter Barris, general manager of Wikibon, research at wikibon.com. Our next guest is Jerry Held, who's a board member of Informatica Industry. Veteran on multiple boards, CUBE alumni, third time back on theCUBE. Great to see you, Jerry, thanks for joining us today. Great to be back. So, I mentioned you're an industry vet, which means you have a lot of experience. You've seen many waves of innovation. You've seen cycles up and down, you've seen many of the movies many times. Right now, people are more concerned about digital transformation than I've ever seen before.  It really is causing a lot of movement into a whole new modern era, if you will. Another wave. So, what wave is it? Because is it public cloud? Is it private cloud? True private cloud? Is it hybrid? Certainly, hybrid cloud is dominating. What's your thoughts and reactions to the waves or wave that's happening? Yeah, well, the thing I've seen about waves, I've been in the business for about five decades now, and I've seen a lot of waves over time. When a wave comes along, the new technology, my first wave that I was really heavily involved was when relational databases came along. Wow, great wave, great technology. Everything will be relational in a few years. No, it's not going to be. It's going to take a long time for that to happen, no matter how good the technology is. The wave to the internet, client-serve, all those waves took a long time.  Oh, at the time they might have seemed big. They may have seemed great. Someone has never seen a wave before. That looks like a wave. Hey, object databases, they're going to be great. Well, they were good for some things, but they weren't great. Take Hadoop. Hadoop is a pretty interesting technology. It was going to replace all the relational database. Not going to happen. Important component, important technology, but it was a big ripple, but not the wave that replaced everything. So when you look at data now, data is migrating to the cloud. A lot of data is going to the cloud, but there's a ton of data that's on-prem. There's a ton of data in a lot of places. And I think that the biggest thing right now that people have to be focused on is the word hybrid. For the next multiple decades, we're going to be in a hybrid data world. And if you think it's all going to be in the cloud, you're mistaken. Maybe if we're a little company, you can run all in the cloud.  And the cloud isn't one thing. You're going to have data in one cloud, another cloud, a SaaS cloud, another SaaS cloud. You're going to have data hosted in a lot of different places. So the hybrid nature of data and dealing with data in more places than ever before is becoming a huge issue. It's great to have you on, seeing multiple ways work. I think I'm in my 30th year, third decade and ways. But here's an interesting point I want to get your reaction to. We were talking the other day, Peter and I, when we were at Dell EMC World, we were talking about the internet, when the internet came. What's your internet strategy? Well, it turns out the internet had a bubble, but it burst, but it was a big burst. But actually the things that were overvalued actually ended up happening later to your point. So they materialized along a different time frame than expectations. But at the time it was internet strategy. Now we hear, what's your cloud strategy? So everyone in the press and out in the world is saying, what's your cloud strategy? So to your point, you could, if you believe that what you're saying is true, hybrid is a longer journey. There is not about having a cloud strategy for a say, it's not like the strategy, it's everywhere. So what's your thoughts on that concept? Well, don't get me wrong. Cloud is extremely important. A huge amount is going to the cloud. The cloud is going to be a tidal wave. If not a ripple or a wave, it's a tidal wave. But it has to be placed in context of where is all that data. And that's what Informatica really plays a big part, is you need to have data that's in multiple ways. You have to be able to move it and manage it. And it's becoming a bigger and bigger challenge.  NetApp plays a role at the storage layer and the data management services layer. And if you think about what customers have been concerned about for decades is large vendors having vendor lock-in. Whether it was IBM in the olden days or whether it was the Oracle stack or the SAP stack they were locked into, they were concerned about vendor lock-in. In the day of the cloud, they're concerned about what if I put all my data on Amazon? Am I stuck? Or are you or whatever? And so they're looking for a hybrid way to have some insurance policy. NetApp has this interesting thing where you can put NetApp storage on something like Equinix Colo facility close to the cloud, own your petabytes of storage, have it processed by say Amazon, use all that compute, all the facilities, all the software. But if you need to shift without moving your data and move over to Azure for some of your computing and with a software layer that makes it all transparent. So you could have their on-tap software running on top of AWS or on top of NetApp hardware and span these multiple on-prem and cloud environments. That's an example. How should customers think about this lock-in spec? Because I'm not going to appreciate your comments because back in the old days, you got to have a proprietary sustainable moat or whatever, you know, you go to business school, you learn these concepts, you have a sustainable competitive advantage. That was usually some proprietary software. But now with open source, you can have differentiation as a lock-in, but it still can be open with choice. So what's your thoughts now in this new modern era of how to be a supplier to customers? How can customers understand what lock-in is versus value differentiation? Well, it's always been the case that if you're willing to use proprietary features of a vendor, whether you're using an open standard like SQL, you can maybe get a little bit better performance, but then you're going to trade that off for now it's harder to move. So take for instance, Amazon, which has a phenomenal product and they have a good database product now in Redshift, but Redshift is Amazon. So if you're going to stick with Redshift, you're on Amazon. Another board that I'm on is a startup called MemSQL. They're doing super high performance database. And if you're interested in real-time, super high performance, now they'll run on Amazon or Azure, they'll run on on-prem and whatever. So you get the choice of multiple platforms. Whereas if you pick Oracle, for instance, who makes a phenomenal product, you're going to get tied into that. And there's trade-offs. You want those advantages because they have unique features. How does that trade off to your ability? It's a buyer beware basically at this point. It's absolutely buyer beware. But there's also an increasing understanding that there's a natural relationship between the characteristics of your data and how you're going to manage that data because of these issues of proximity. Latency's a real feature. Bandwidth is a real feature. Geofencing and regulations are a real feature. So as we think about in the informatical world, as we think about an increasing emphasis on data management or managing data as an asset, how is this relationship between data, strategic business and knowledge about the data and where to put it in this context of hybrid starting to evolve? Well, that's probably the biggest news out of the conference here today. If you had to pick one thing to focus on that's coming out of Informatical World this year, it's a lady named Claire. And it was just announced a few minutes ago here and it's all about metadata management. Now, if you think about your CFO, and you walk into the CFO of any company, say, where are your financial assets? Tell me where all the money is. Tell me where all the assets are. They'll tell you down to the penny where everything is. They know where all the financial assets are. Go into your chief data officer and ask the same question. Where's all your data? Not just all your on-prem data, but all the data you use in the cloud, all the data. Who's using it? Who has access to it? I will bet you any amount of money they don't know. They might know some of it, but they don't know. This to me is the single biggest challenge facing enterprises today. They're using all these great technologies. Whatever you like, whether it's Hadoop or this or that, they're all great technologies. But the biggest risk is this data asset, which we all talk about is the thing that's leading to digital transformation. How do you manage that? How do you know where it is? It's the basis of digital transformation. The basis. But how can you have something that's so, so valuable and you don't know where it is? So, what Informatic is doing and stepping up to is providing, we're sort of the Switzerland of data. We're not dealing with anybody's stack. You get data from Oracle or SAP or from your app or wherever on the cloud, on-prem, from structured, unstructured, whatever. The metadata is all coming together into this thing called CLARE, which is not only metadata, but AI applied on top of it. And giving you all of the insights you need to manage all of that data. It is a major, major breakthrough. So, describe CLARE a little bit. Is CLARE an artificial intelligence system, machine learning system? What are some of the technical attributes of it? And specifically, it's helping a business track, understand, find patterns in metadata. Give us a little bit more visibility. Well, there's quite a bit to it and I'm sure you'll have guests and I'll dive in even deeper. But the basic concept is to collect metadata from every place. Now Informatic already touches a lot of the data in the enterprise, so we already see a lot of the description of data. We have the metadata that describes all the things that Informatic attaches, so collect all of that. But then, there's metadata that comes in from competitor systems that do data integration and collect all of that. There's metadata that describes all the databases that we don't touch, collect all of that. There's metadata that describes email and unstructured data, collect all of that. Bring it together in a way that you now know the description of and the location of all this data. That's the first step. Then, you have to start correlating that and here's where the AI and the machine intelligence comes in. Customer information there, customer information there. Maybe you have an MDM system which has a master data version of it, but then you have other customer data that hasn't been brought into that. Start bringing it all together so you now have a view of where it all is. Claire is an enabler, the foundation for a lot of technologies. Nobody's going to buy Claire because they want to manage metadata. Metadata is not a problem. Metadata is the solution and the foundation of a problem. So, you have a governance issue. To solve your governance problem, you need to know where all your data is. You have a security issue. Security source is a technology which lets you look around and know who acts as all your data. You have an analytics issue. You're an analyst and you want to ask questions about your customers and that yes, you have some of the data, but new data is coming in all the time. When you sit down, you're typically only dealing with the data at hand. This changes the dynamic of the interface to data. I mean, in quoting from the keynote, Claire puts AI at the center of the data management world and Mitt Wally mentioned. But we're talking about an Alexa kind of model where the interface to data is being multi-touched now. It's not the one department dealing with it in the old ways. You guys are looking at it as a horizontally scalable layer, but also access method to whichever user, whether it could be AI software or analysts. Is that, am I getting that right? Yeah, it's sort of the Google of enterprise data so that you can ask a question and say I'm really interested in doing a broader look at customers for this particular marketing exercise. And I know all this data, but I'd like to now see if I can get information from some of our social media systems. And I don't know where that is. You make a query and all of a sudden, Claire can help you find out where that data is, bring it in and link it in to your analytics. So Claire's really creating metadata about metadata by identifying linkages, relationships amongst the data, it's amongst data and metadata and uses and presenting that as a way to facilitate the discovery, processing and utilization of data sets through the metadata. Exactly, and it's going to enable every single product that Informatica provides. So they all come together in one unified description of the enterprise data, wherever it is, on-prem, in the cloud, on any other cloud, on a SaaS system. Independent locations. But Jerry also said something really important. He said we don't have a metadata problem, but the reality is that historically, it has been very expensive to maintain metadata. And so Claire, I presume, will also help identify where things may be aging a little bit wrong, where descriptions may be a little bit off. So it might help the administrator of all this start to pinpoint where they can actually upgrade and enhance the quality of the data in some places. Absolutely, but I think the mistake is metadata data has been around for a long time, metadata management system, people have tried it forever. The problem is, if you just try to go out and sell metadata management, people don't say, oh, I have a metadata management problem today. They have business problems. Yeah, they got to apply it. What it is, is it's the enabler to solve these problems. It's the enabler to do way better data governance, way better data security, way better analytics. Without, but my point is, without. And it's sort of, it's underneath, it's the enabler. But without adding new, enormous new and onerous administrative costs on data. Right, and that's why we're the machine intelligence, because you're talking about a huge amount of data and growing it, as we know, at amazing rates. We hear terms like data hygiene, managing, I mean data is, you know us, we love data. We think the data 3.0 enabler model absolutely is the right path, 100%. In fact, we should have our own cube, and they have Claire, we got to get a name for the cube data set. Jerry, just to change gears, I know we got to wrap up, but I want to get your thoughts because this is important to us and our audiences with Informatica. We've been chronicalizing the journey over the past few years. Going private, great move. You've been on the board for eight years. Share your perspective and give us the transformation of the company itself, also the new branding, new CMO, you see a lot of brand building exercises going on. Always had good product shops. But take us through the journey real quick on where the company has come from and where it's going. Yeah, well it's been a great ride. I've been involved for quite a while now. It's always been a company with phenomenal technology. I think it's always been rated in the top right corner of all of the magic quadrants. But it's in need of a transformation, just like a lot of other companies. If you look at Informatica, both from a business model perspective, we were an on-prem enterprise software company. We sold software with a licensed model. The world is changing. We had to move from licensed to subscription. We had to move from on-prem to on-prem in cloud with cloud first. There were a lot of transformations. They're not that easy to do as a public company. And so the idea of going private actually was a wonderful thing because the changes that we had to make were pretty substantial. And if we had to report all the financials, we would do them much more slowly. It would have been, you're more agile as a private company. 2016 was a massive year of change. We changed all sorts of stuff and we could do it in the privacy of being private. No 90-day shot clock. And we've made rapid progress. The other thing is we were perceived as sort of a legacy ETL company, data integration ETL company, when in fact we're putting out all these new products. We needed a new image too. We were just unbelievably fortunate to hire Sally. She's just off the charts. This is Sally Jenkins. Sally Jenkins, she's been with us for only four months, is transforming the image of the company, as you can see all around here. Absolutely outstanding job. We needed to have this company be the innovative leader, seen as the leader in cloud, which we are seen as an innovator on a lot of fronts. And that's all coming up. And moving from an important partner of companies to a strategic partner. And let me just give you this one last thought. I've been talking about this for quite a while, but if you go back, you guys have known Informatica for a long time. Informatica was sort of known as the data plumber, right? We did all that. In a particular subset of applications. In a lot of places, we were the guys that moved the data around underneath. Very important, great products, data plumber. With Claire, what we're doing is we're going to the heart of a company's strategic, most strategic asset data. And we're sitting above all those other systems. So if you think about all these great products from Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, all the things from the SaaS providers and Salesforce and Workday, all the other data on-prem and cloud. What Claire does with the metadata management is sit above all of that. And we've gone from being a data plumber to a heart surgeon. It's still plumbing, but it's much, much more important plumbing. And that's the transition to becoming a strategic vendor where what we're going to be providing for our customers is maybe the most important part of managing their most important asset. And that's a massive transformation. Jerry Held, board member of Informatica, again, back on theCUBE, sharing his amazing insight as a board member. You have good visibility on the thing. I, we agree, the data is the heartbeat of the organization. It's competitive advantage and also resource. It's the new oils, new gold, whatever metaphor. It's a big wave with the cloud. Thanks for sharing your insight. Really appreciate you coming back on theCUBE and sharing your awesome data with us. We're here bringing the data here to you real time at Informatica World. I'm John Furrier with Peter Burris. Stay with us for more live coverage after this short break.
