36,000 people will run in this year's Boston Marathon. Certainly some will run for the glory and others for the fitness, but the nearly 1,400 participants running in the Boston Athletic Association's official charity program are running for a cause other than running. My sister, she's the oldest of five. She was like, you know, the type A. She was kind of like the mom of our family. So close relationship pretty much did everything together growing up. She was a role model to me. And she started her first year of college and was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. Like so many, Colleen turned to the marathon to honor a loved one. My sister was treated at Dana-Farber at the age of 18. And when I was looking to run a marathon, I was trying to decide who to run for, really kind of why I wanted to run. And Dana-Farber made the most sense. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team is one of 30 organizations recognized by the BAA's official charity program. Now in its 26th year, the program has raised more than $140 million for various causes. She went through about six months to a year of treatment, was cured, is now a school teacher, has kids, married. So positive outcome. The outcome was not as positive for a family friend. He had two kids that are around my age growing up. So we pretty much did everything together. And when he was diagnosed, it was really sad. It was sudden. He was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. He had never smoked a cigarette a day in his life. So and within three months, he passed. Colleen has raised funds to run the last four Boston Marathons in his memory, running on Dana-Farber, running for Peter Rogers.   Being part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team provides runners with an opportunity to give back to a cause that many of them find so personal. I started with the idea of doing maybe one and then I got involved with the program. I was running for my dad who had passed away of colon cancer when he was 52. And then I just saw the good work that the people were doing. And this would be number 21 for me. Rich has been part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team community for 21 years. Well, I had a reason to do it because, you know, my father, you know, the history of cancer.  This year, the team has about 740 runners. It's kind of a sort of an extended family. I remember the first year being a little intimidated and not really wanting to go to the group runs or to the arc on Thursday nights. And now the people on the team are like family. I do everything with them. Team mates even help each other train. In the years, we'll get 60, 50 to 50% to 60% new runners every year. So it's kind of like, give them the wisdom, tell them, you know, what to wear, what not to drink, you know, what to drink. You know, it's usually beer. The team also has the support of Jack Fulps. I ran my first marathon in 1971. I moved in and took the lead and it was a couple of miles to go and won that race. So I was very excited and decided, okay, I'm gonna go run the Boston Marathon. Everyone knew that was the granddaddy marathons even then. Five years later, during a very hot race, Jack became the 1976 Boston Marathon Champion. We train and work hard and prepare to achieve a particular outcome, a particular result. But when push comes to shove, when it's time to actually perform, we have to let go of that and focus much more on the process by which, so that the outcome becomes a byproduct of that process. And my win in the Boston Marathon very much exemplified that entire notion and I've applied that in my coaching. Jack has been coaching the team since the beginning. Jack can work with our really fast runners and he can work with the slower runners like myself. A lot of the runners on the charity team say, you know, we're not elite level runners. Some will sign up and say, I'm not a runner at all. So we are now, you signed up for the marathon. Crossing that finish line isn't the only goal for Dana-Farber runners. We have to each raise about $4,000 is to take part in the DFMC. Funds go to the Claudia Adams Bar Program and Innovative Cancer Research here at Dana-Farber. The funds that we raise go directly to the bar program and the bar program is all on Innovative Basic Cancer Research that otherwise it's somewhat risky, you know, because it's new, that otherwise wouldn't be funded. To date, the Dana-Farber team has raised $61 million for the program. We've had great success fundraising and I attest that to the fact that I run in his memory. I think most people that are donating to my cause are doing it in memory of him and hoping that someday they'll find a cure for diseases like his. Team members are in just donating money towards their cause. During meetings with cancer investigators, they learn the exact impact of their hard work. One of our co-runners raised his hand and said, hey, I just want to comment or thank you. Because my wife has stage four lung cancer and the normal, the prognosis is three to four months to live. It's been three years and she's being treated by immunotherapy, which was founded by the bar program where our funds raise go towards. But this is just one of the contributions the team has made to cancer research. Bar Program funding has led to developments in treatment for neuroblastoma in children, a discovery of links between obesity and the development of cancer, and an explanation of how certain drugs improve breast cancer survival rates, leading to the potential discovery of additional treatments with improved outcomes for breast cancer patients. Gives me hope that someday we no longer will have a team because cancer will be gone. For now, there's still a team and that team is gearing up to run together for the 25th year in a row in a very special Boston marathon. This year is the 25th running for Dana-Farber. And with the events that happened last year, the families that were affected by it, makes it a special time. So this is this year's racing singlet that all the runners will wear. This was designed especially for our 25th running this year and also for an honor of last year what happened at the 2013 Boston Marathon, the tragic events. This singlet was designed to give the runner a symbolic embrace from the city of Boston. On race day with Boston on their backs, the team members will run towards a cure. It's really about Dana-Farber and it's about wanting to win the race against cancer and get to the ultimate finish line of world without cancer. The 118th Boston Marathon is a week away and Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team members are cutting back that training, revving up the funding and getting ready for race day. In Boston, I'm Molly Koic.


Russia plans targeted terror, focusing on capital of Ukraine. This experience has shown that the enemy uses Zheokon missiles with increased activity, indicating that the air alert will spread to the Kiev region when ballistic missiles are used from the south, states head of the United Coordinating Press Centre of Security and Defence Forces of the south of Ukraine, Natalya Humenyuk. Several dozen similar missiles are in the enemy's accumulation at military hubs like Crimea and it can continue occasional targeted terror with a focus including on the capital, Humenyuk said. She added that for the enemy, the priority remains the method of terrorist pressure and when there is a threat of ballistic weapons from the south, usually the southern and southeastern regions light up red on the alarm map. Natalya Humenyuk reported that the enemy continues to use ballistic missiles not only in the southern regions, according to the spokesperson, this indicates that pushed to a certain degree of desperation, it is forced to use reserve means that will lead to the so-called victory in the rear. Humenyuk also emphasised that civilian terror continues with the enemy continuing to shell settlements along the contact line in the Kursan region and returning to the tactic of using guided aerial bombs, perhaps losing some aviation vigilance. Tactical aviation allowed itself two strikes with six guided aerial bombs each this combat day on the right bank of the Kursan region. A cultural institution, a shop and some private houses were destroyed, the official added. The fact of returning to the use of tactical aviation at this frontline is a powerful signal for us. We must reorganise our defence system so that enemy aviation again fears in this direction. It should be noted that in the Solomiansky district of Kiev, a combat part of a Russian missile was seized. It fell during Russia's attack on March the 25th. During the inspection of the area, explosive technicians found a fragment of the combat part of the substance with detonators weighing over 20 kilograms near private houses. Additionally, the Air Force explained why the Russians have shortened the intervals between attacks on Ukraine. In particular, this is because the Russia is trying to find weak spots in the Ukrainian air defence system. At least 12 Palestinians drowned and six others were trampled to death when people rushed to collect airdropped American aid packages off the northern Gaza coast. Local authorities said that the Pentagon confirmed that three of the 18 packages at airdropped on Monday had perissued malfunctions and fell into the water just off the coast of the Strip. Abu Mohammed, who witnessed the incident, told CNN the aid was dropped far from the coast into the sea, after which multiple men who don't know how to swim drowned while trying to retrieve it footage of the incident showed people running towards the site of the airdrop as parcels descended upon a beach in Baitlahia in North Gaza, with some falling onto the shore and others into the SEA.US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller-Lamence reports that several Palestinians drowned while trying. To retrieve airdropped aid that landed off the coast of northern Gaza, it is a tragedy, Miller says when asked about the reports in a briefing. It is not just a tragedy that these individuals died trying to get aid. It is a tragedy that they felt so desperate that they had to swim out into the ocean to try and retrieve it in the first place. No one should have to put themselves at risk to try and get food, water and medicine for their families. It should just be there for them, and that is what we're trying to accomplish through the work that we're doing to provide humanitarian assistance and in our engagements with the government of Israel to facilitate the delivery of additional humanitarian assistance. The State Department spokesman says aid agencies say only about a fifth of required supplies are entering Gaza as Israel persists with an air and ground offensive, triggered by Hamas October 7th attack, that has shattered the enclave. Pushing parts of it into famine already. They say deliveries by air or sea directly on Ohamas run Gaza's beaches are no substitute for increased supplies coming in by land via Israel or Egypt.


all right good morning everybody we are sorry about that classic don't give me that give me that yes keep okay reboot all right so good morning everybody this is the open stack tour to force tutorial this is a tutorial that is built for one hour which is extremely short for the content that we're about to present however as we're going into the lunch break afterward I'll be happy to stick around for questions later just in case we do happen to run out of time and cannot cover all of the questions that you may have this is if you want to follow along the tutorial itself on your own virtual box images you are welcome to do so however it is not required this tutorial is being recorded it's going to be available for your perusal afterward and of course the virtual machines themselves are also going to be available on Ubuntu one or Dropbox for you to download from them and by the way all of the slides here are free for you to use for any purpose you wish under the ccpisa license and I'm going to make my slides available as a github link at the end of the talk so for those of you who do want to follow along this is how you do it you grab the files you start virtual box you create one instance of the puppet dot ova virtual appliance and you create three instances of the open stack ova virtual appliance you name them Alice Bob and Charlie and make sure you reinitialize their MAC addresses when you create them you can log in to all of these boxes as root with the password of open stack and for the open stack nodes you have to run a little script it's called fix up host it runs in the slash or it's stored in the slash root directory and if you run that as root fix up host Alice fix a post Bob fix post Charlie then it will make that open stack virtual appliance three different nodes with three different network configurations named Alice Bob and Charlie and you can then use them for this tutorial once you reboot you're ready to go there's nothing that you need to do on the puppet node itself it will just come up preconfigured as a puppet master okay so much for that we're going to start with the open stack tour to force subtitled cloud from scratch in no time this is the third time that we're presenting this tutorial the first time was at Oskar in Portland this year then my colleague Adolfo Brangist did a version of this talk at cloud open North America in New Orleans and now we're here in Scotland and we're doing it again but this time we are doing it for the open stack Havana release which just dropped last week so you may be wondering just who the heck I am my name is Florian there are a few links on this slide here there is my sort of corporate bio I am one of the co founders and an instructor and principal consultant at Hasdexo the top link here is my official corporate page the second one the short link here is my Google plus you can get in touch with me by email at flooring at hasdexa.com I'm one of those strange holdouts that don't maintain a personal Twitter account but we do have a company Twitter present that's Hasdexo and if you want to know more about our training work that we do around open stack I encourage you to visit academy.hasdexo.com that has all of the information about our training services now for those of you can I have a show of hands please who in here is familiar with open stack in the sense that they have looked at open stack or deployed an open stack instance in production or in testing up to this point quite a few okay great the rest are complete open stack novices can I just have a nod your head okay all right so a quick very brief overview of the open stack architecture open stack is comprised of a set of services all of them under the ASL2o license all written in Python and all working together using restful JSON APIs at the core of everything we have an identity service called Keystone which provides authentication authorization and access control and also maintains the concept of tenants which means we can logically subdivide a physical open stack cloud into multiple logical tenants and then every object that we create within that cloud belongs to a certain tenant all our access control patterns and all that can be set up on a per or are set up on a per tenant basis we then have an image store codenamed glance in open stack the image store basically maintains our gold images goldmaster images for our virtual workloads our virtual guests those run in open stack compute also known as nova and open stack compute can support a number of back-end hypervisors the canonical way of doing it might arguably be Libvert with KVM which is what we're doing here in this tutorial today but it equally supports the ZIN hypervisors the VMware in two different flavors actually one through vCenter and one interacting with ESXi directly it supports Hyper-V and it has recently gained much improved support support for container based virtualization rather than hardware emulation based virtualization as well we have a network service which in the grizzly release still used to be called quantum it has since been renamed and it is now called neutron the neutron the open stack networking service provides network connectivity within our virtual tenants between virtual machines and also to the outside world we have a block storage service codenamed Cinder provides persistent block storage to guests and we also have an object storage service codenamed Swift which provides restful object storage within an open stack cloud and then we have a unified open stack dashboard codenamed Horizon which acts as a unified UI across all of these services which is web-based runs is based on Django and whiskey runs in Apache normally and provides a unified link for all of this and there are two new facilities in open stack Havana released last week and developed over the past six months which are facilities for metering and alert services a project codenamed Cilometer and an orchestration engine that provides both its own native API and an AWS cloud cloud formation compatible API codenamed heat so two more open stack sub projects that just had their first open stack official open stack release dropped last week open stack Cilometer and open stack Havana so from this logical overview of the open stack architecture what follows is the concept of node roles and node roles are sort of logical atomic and composable classes of nodes in an open stack cloud they're atomic because they're usually not broken down further they're composable because it's very common for a single node to have multiple of these roles depending on your scale out requirements you may then scale them out across multiple physical boxes and those node roles are there's an infrastructure node which runs a database and a message queuing server the relational database is normally my SQL but Postgres is also supported and a message queue server name QP server most people will be using a rabid mq but Apache Q it is also supported and there is support for zero MQ as well although that support has some known limitations then we have the authentication node which runs the open stack identity service code name Keystone which provides authentication and a service catalog we have an API node which provides restful API endpoints to open stack services a controller node which provides scheduling and registration services that are internal to open stack so for example with the controller node would control are things like what specific compute node am I scheduling this specific guest to run on and other things then we have the network node which provides network connectivity within the cloud and also to public external networks and we have of course the compute node usually we have several of these and it's not unusual to have an open stack cloud with hundreds or thousands of compute nodes which of course runs hosts and runs virtual machines that is to say Nova guests then we have a storage nodes one or several which provide persistent block storage to guests there is a very basic implementation of the center the open stack block storage service which uses LVM and ice guzzly which is what we're going to be using here in this tutorial for demonstration purposes however there is a truckload of external drivers that are supported by center where we can interact with existing either open source or commercially licensed storage systems such as for example sef which is highly popular as a scale out service for software defined storage Gloucester FS is also supported for that same purpose but also things like 3 par left hand various other sand vendors etc then we have a dashboard node which provides a unified user interface to our cloud admins obviously then we have a metering node this is new in Havana this is a node type that collects metering data from a unified event stream which provides a set of counters and gauges related to metering of our open stack cloud and finally we have an orchestration node which runs an orchestration engine for complex guest workloads so this would be the the node that would be running the heat engine in open stack in our setup as for the tutorial architecture we have a total of four different nodes Alice is the one that holds the majority of our control related services so Alice is our infrastructure node which runs our database and our RPC server our authentication node or API node controller node storage node dashboard node and also the metering and orchestration node although I don't know whether the time that we're going to have in this tutorial is going to permit us to actually go to the metering and orchestration stuff but if you're taking the virtual machines with you it will be easy for you to reproduce that on your boxes and then have a cilometer and heat at your disposal as well then we have Bob that's our compute node it will be running our virtual workloads or the virtual workloads that we're going to create at the end of the tutorial we have Charlie that's our network node that's the node that provides access to the outside world and runs services that ensure that the virtual machines can talk together within the cloud as well and of course we have our puppet master node because we're going to be deploying this whole open stack cloud with puppet because if we were not automating this this would be an endeavor that would take us about two days and we want to do it in one hour so obviously we are going to be automating that with a system automation framework in this case we chose puppet you can also deploy open stack with with chef you can deploy open stack with a variety of other tools and you can do crazy things like deploy open stack within open stack using open stack tools that does not provide a not in your cerebral cortex okay we are going to be using a collection of puppet modules that are available for configuring open stack services those are hosted on Stack Forge Stack Forge is a community project that that develops third party additions to open stack third party in the sense that what is being developed on Stack Forge is not or not yet part of open stack proper but the nice thing is it uses the entire continuous integration and continuous deployment and testing infrastructure that the rest of open stack also uses which is great which means that most of the stuff that is on Stack Forge actually has much the same quality level of what open stack itself has and at least in terms of revision control peer review etc that's pretty stellar we are going to set use a simple set of wrappers on top of these puppet modules on Stack Forge we call this kick stack because it's something you can use to kickstart your open stack it's really a very very thin wrapper around what is upstream in Stack Forge as part of the puppet open stack modules there okay we are going to use the puppet dashboard let's see where's my puppet dashboard here there we go that is a pristine puppet dashboard it runs on the node named puppet you can access it depending on how you've set up your virtual networks you can either access it through its actual IP address which is <IP_ADDRESS> or you can just connect to local host port 3000 because it should do a port forwarding there for you there is no need to use puppet dashboard kick stack uses you can use kick stack with any puppet ENC and puppet external node classifier for those of you who are familiar with puppet that is a way to that's a facility that puppet use can use to externally classify nodes put them into specific classes etc apply parameters and variables to them and the puppet dashboard is but one implementation of such an ENC there's others such as the foreman which is very popular with many puppet heads including the puppet heads at CERN that run the largest open stack cloud in Europe at this time and you could actually be writing your own ENC because all that puppet uses is a bit of YAML that that ENC outputs so that is our puppet dashboard here and what we also have or are going to have is the open stack dashboard because if I click on this now obviously it's not here yet because that is something that we are going to deploy as part of this setup there we go and we have our four different physical nodes so that's our node name puppet I actually don't need to do anything here right now so I'm going to move straight to our node named Alice and the first thing that we're going to do here is we are going to have it check in with puppet which means we're running a quick puppet agent test and we are now going to have that check in with puppet for the first time yes you can crucify me now for purposes of this tutorial alone I have actually set up puppet for auto sign of these SSL certificates do not ever do this in production and by the way do not deploy these virtual machines in production because they have my SSH public key in slash root dot SSH slash authorized keys so if you actually deploy this in production and you make it accessible on the internet prepare for a visit okay we're going to do that on the other nodes as well so we have them all check into puppet for the first time there we go and while that is chugging along we can go back to our node named Alice and indeed we can go back to our puppet dashboard so there's two nodes that have checked in lovely and then we're going to have a third one shortly there we go Alice Bob charlie very creatively I use the domain name example.com and this is what we are going to be using for the rest of this tutorial so the first thing that we're going to do is we are just going to add these three nodes to the kickstack group such that we can apply these parameters that we can set in the puppet dashboard globally for all of these nodes so what I'm doing is I'm selecting the group named kickstack go to edit and down here we can now go ahead and add these nodes Alice Bob Charlie and there we go okay so we've got that we've got all of these nodes here in the same group so the first thing that we're going to do is we are going to work with our node named Alice and Alice we are going to make the infrastructure node the authentication node and the API node API infrastructure and us whoops and what is this guy doing here and then we're just going to run our next puppet run again for purposes of demonstration obviously I don't have puppet run as a background service but I'm just invoking it manually if you are using this in production then obviously you would be running it as a background service with a refresh interval so while that thing is chugging along let me tell you what an open stack API node actually does so in open stack all of our nodes all of our services run on or expose endpoints that are restful we can interact with them with a standard HTTP or HTTPS client and what we're doing is we're pretty much bouncing around JSON objects is what we're doing and that is true for all of the open stack services that is true for Cinder as much as it is for Nova as much as it is for Neutron Cilometer and all others and what these services do is they use two means of communications with other services so if there is anything that actually requires to be persistent so if at any time a service needs to tell another service okay here's a piece of data that you are going to use henceforth and forever more then all of that goes into a relational database as I said earlier typically we use my SQL here Postgres is also supported SQLite as well but obviously SQLite you wouldn't use in a multi-node environment and the other means of communication that these nodes use is AMQP and AMQP is the common message bus that we're using for communications between our nodes now the next thing I'm going to say it's not you should take it with a pinch of salt it's not completely set in stone but the the rough rule is if there's anything that needs to be known for two other nodes for more than 30 seconds it typically goes into the relational database and if it's less than that is information that just lives on the message bus and those are the two things that we are creating here in this step we are installing my SQL or what what this thing is doing for us as installing my SQL and installing rabbin MQ as well and then there is a rabbin MQ service and then subsequently it's also going to create the databases which is what we see here we go so we've got all the databases that we need and I just want to move over this quickly here on this puppet agent test again so we get the next run with the actual API services I want to complete this rather quickly so I can actually show you how we can interact with the open stack cloud it is important to understand and you we're going to see this in a moment that as soon as we have our open stack API services or API endpoints available then we can actually interact with our open stack cloud even though we don't for some of these services for some of these APIs we actually don't have implementing services as yet now that may sound strange but it's actually really sound and reasonable design which is you want for the API services to be decoupled from the actual implementing controlling services so at any time you happen to lose connection with a back-end service or the back-end service actually moves from one node to another then the system should just find out about that essentially by itself and using the the information that the system itself provides yes questions are always good it's okay stay seated you have what you do is you put your node named Alice into three kick stack classes kick stack node off kick stack node API and kick stack node infrastructure those are the three classes and they also need to be part of the kick stack group what is that open stack all lowercase so while we're waiting for this to chug along this is also configuring keystone for us as I said keystone is the open stack identity service that's the service that is responsible for providing open stack authentication authorization and access control and keystone also manages the open stack endpoints so if we and what this job here does for us is creates this little open stack RC file which we can now source and that provides our open stack credentials for us so if we do that we can actually go ahead and do a keystone endpoint lists and as of right now we only have one endpoint in there and this was already interaction with an open stack cloud using open stack tools so I used keystone endpoint lists to basically tell ask open stack okay where are my API endpoints and right now I only have one which is keystone itself arguably because that's the only service that I have currently actually configured and with the next run we are actually going to configure the API services themselves and okay and while this is running while this is running let me go back to my overview here we go there's that so what we're currently doing is we are configuring or we have already configured the identity service and the next thing that we're doing is we're configuring API endpoints for all of the other services actually more than are shown in the slide here we're not doing it just for network and block storage and compute and image but we're also doing it for metering and orchestration so for a kilometer and for heat however we are leaving out object storage simply because it's not really useful to also add Swift object storage onto these three notes that we have those are basically just the limitations that we have in the in the setting here for this for this tutorial by the way Swift itself is not the only service that provides OpenStack object storage there's other services as well most notably Ceph through Rados gateway has a means of interacting with a Ceph store as if it were a Swift store and likewise Glustrefs has what it calls rather endearingly UFO unified file and object storage which allows me to interact with a Glustrefs file system as if it were a set of Swift containers for those of you who are familiar with Amazon S3 that will be that will sound relatively familiar a restful object storage not unlike Amazon S3 so what S3 is to AWS Swift is more or less to OpenStack okay let's see how Alice is doing okay so that is a handful of services there already we should have that done in a moment as you can see we are doing the cinder that is the OpenStack block storage service at the time at this time and then also heat and we're gonna give this a few more moments and then we should be done with the with the API installation of course you know this is somewhat slower than it would be on an actual production box on real hardware because what I'm doing here is I'm running three virtual machines on one laptop drive which is inevitably going to be iobound and that is something that you're probably gonna be seeing on your boxes as well specifically if you're using spinners so if your laptop does not come with an SSD then that may be really really slow for you so maybe a good thing to actually do this on real hardware for you okay so was that it nope in the meantime we can move along for our next few steps so right now this node named Alice is just our API node our infrastructure node and our authentication node and now we're gonna add a little more to that we're gonna make it the controller node storage node dashboard node and we're gonna leave out metering an orchestration for right now because that's just gonna take up too much time controller we already have that dashboard okay that part is fine what is that yes for right now there's six classes in all there we already had API infrastructure and auth and we just added storage and dashboard and then we can also go ahead and make Bob our compute node we're gonna run pop it later on that and we're gonna make Charlie our network node here so okay while this is running of those who are in here who have deployed OpenStack in testing or production in some shape or form for whom of you was that in the OpenStack Folsom release for whom was it in Grizzly and anyone actually using something earlier than that has anyone looked at Havana yet no come on just out of curiosity is anyone still downloading from the the VM images from my box here I hope not right and there's our NovaDB sync that should be the last bit of those of you who are following along is has anyone hit any snags up to this point Alex no yes exactly did it actually do something for you or did it just okay not necessarily a second there we go about time okay and now I'm gonna do something here we're gonna scp over our oops scp stack RC to Bob so we can actually work on Bob here so doing the next puppet agent run so we can actually install our controller services here and in the interim we can actually start interacting with our OpenStack here we're gonna do this and we should be doing be able to do a Nova list at this time there we go it doesn't actually do anything at this point it does do something which is it actually talks to the OpenStack API services but returns an empty list here the same thing is true for neutron net list there we go and a few others as well so here that is the dashboard and I hope that's the last time that's gonna take quite as long because once that is done we actually have an OpenStack dashboard to work with and we should be able to actually start working with our OpenStack cloud about 45 minutes into the tutorial that is a reasonably complex Apache configuration which you really should need to worry about and again it's basically the puppet modules do all this work for you there we go so if you want to set up your nodes like I have here I have the node named Alice that is our API node infrastructure node API node and authentication node and also our storage controller and dashboard node our node named Bob is a compute node and finally Charlie is our network node sorry about that that is a problem in my configuration but not in yours you are not going to see this issue because I actually don't have an SDB device here that I can use for my cinder volumes and let's do that again because the only thing that's going to do is is just going to create the volume group in the right place and that's that there's our cinder there we go okay alright and now we finally have an OpenStack cloud that we can actually interact with so we've got all of these services here and most importantly we also have that's my OpenStack RC I'm just going to take this passport here that has been generated for me and now let's see if we have an OpenStack dashboard there we go there is an OpenStack dashboard installed from scratch you're going to have your own password that was generated for you and you can log in here with a username of admin with that password there we go whoops what the heck my web browser doesn't support cookies there we go okay this is what the OpenStack dashboard looks like by this time we actually already have a fully functional OpenStack cloud except that it doesn't have any compute nodes yet and except that it doesn't have outside network connectivity but we're going to fix that in a moment but what you can see here is that all of the services that we have defined are already available and they're running there they are those are all the API services and we can interact with all of those and we can interact with our specific tenant as well so one thing that I'm able to do at this point for example is I can upload an image there we go and the image type that we're going to be using is an image is a is a distribution called Cirrus it's a super tiny micro distribution but it runs really well in cloud workloads so what I can do here is I can create this image and I am going to upload it from an image file come on there we go and I want where is my Cirrus there is my Cirrus there we go and that is going to be in the kukau2 format and I'm just going to name it Cirrus as you can see OpenStack supports a number of image types such as AMIs as well or you can upload an ISO that you can then boot from and then it supports any disk format that kukau supports such as the kukau2 format just a raw disk VDI which comes out of VirtualBox VHD which comes out of Hyper-V and VMDK which comes out of VMware the dashboard runs on Alice that's the dashboard node and you can connect to it on that specific node that's 192 168 122 111 just on port 80 if you are currently unable to connect to that that may be due to your VirtualBox network configuration and I can show you afterward how you can do that okay likewise what you can also do if you're familiar with VirtualBox is on your node named Alice you can create port forwarding for port 80 forward that to any local port on your machine and you should be able to access the dashboard that way okay so Alice didn't do anything here though Bob is currently busy installing or becoming a compute node that's fine so we have uploaded an image another thing that I typically want to do with my OpenStack tenant is I want to be able to ensure that I can log into machines that I create preferably using SSH so what I can do here is I can just use my SSH key SSH and dash L so that's my key my public key part here and I want to upload that under access and security and that is how I store my new key pair here under the key pairs tab I can import an existing key pair like this I'm going to name that Florian what was that thank you good point there's my key pair and another thing that I also do whenever I do this demo setup is I create a flavor flavors are as you can see here there are various virtual machine types that we can create tiny small medium large and X large are what we can typically typically create here when I'm demoing this on my laptop I usually like to add another flavor which I call M1 Nano which is one CPU and just 256 mega RAM and all of that's gonna be zero and then I can create that and that's more than sufficient for the serous that I'm going to deploy here yes yes flavors come from Nova because you can manipulate them with Nova flavor list but there so you have to set flavors globally for the entire cloud and then you can make them available per tenant it is not something you can create on a per tenant level so you also need Admin scope privileges meaning you're able to manipulate more than one tenant okay that is still Nova if I'm here and because even though we don't have a network node at this point we can already interact with the networking service and there is more than one way to do that as with anything in open stack so for example we could now go ahead and create networks here or create routers here etc but for the time being we don't have anything no networks no routers no connected instances to display now anything that you can manipulate in open stack you can manipulate either through the open stack web GUI the open stack dashboard horizon which is what we're doing here or you can manipulate it through the JSON APIs directly or you can be using one of the open stack CLIs which are perfectly scriptable so that is something that we're going to be doing here so here on Alice there's a little script here I need to source that obviously and there's a little script here that's called create neutron networks and if we run that then even though we currently don't have any network nodes that are implementing these networks that doesn't matter we can still create them because we're only interacting with the neutron API and that in turn is talking to a relational database so it's now creating an apport a network and a gateway for that network and lo and behold there is our network topology that has just changed so what we have created is two well one virtual network that's the one that you see in orange here that we call admin net that's the one that is only going to be implemented within gerry tunnels actually in the open stack network and then we have a virtual router which we call provider router and that then connects to an external network which is actually a physical network and that is there we go that's just about to run that and that's going to be our final puppet run for this tutorial and once that is done we will be able to actually instantiate an instant and a guest okay so that's Nova and that's our compute node and we're almost done the only thing that we're still waiting for is for our network node to not only create the network services but to also launch a an L3 routing agent and a DHCP agent and also a metadata proxy agent so we can make sure that our boxes in fact can access the Nova metadata API service and this is going to be the machine that we are going to create and connect to in a moment and I'm going to prepare everything here for the actual launch of this instance so we're going to create a virtual machine in our availability zone that we call Nova we're going to name it seris we are going to boot this from an image namely the image that we previously uploaded I subsequently want to be able to connect to this machine using my SSH key pair and I'm going to attach it to the admin network and then we should essentially be good to go there's our neutron agents there's all that by the way in the in the process things like service passwords etc. all generated for you just in case you're wondering what those OBS entries were this actually builds what OpenStack does for you what OpenStack neutron does for you is it builds open V-switch GRE tunnels for you and in this case you can already see the scaffolding from the from the compute node which is that we have a tunnel bridge and we have an integration bridge and they are tunneled to or they are patched into one another here but what you're not seeing as yet is the is the tunnels themselves the GRE tunnels themselves which are going to be brought up by the neutron services as soon as they start there's the open V-switch package there's the other side of the integration bridge here's the tunnel bridge and there we go let's see well and it's if as if by magic we now have a configured GRE tunnel so these boxes can now provide tenant networks they're being placed into GRE tunnels and are then relayed over to the network node we shall see the other side of that here so all of that is taken care of for you by neutron by the way this has nothing to do with the there's no puppet magic here all of that is by the API service itself and what you can also see is a few IP network namespaces which these are using heavily for routing and DHCP so now moment of truth let's launch this virtual machine so that instance is currently spawning so that means what happened in the background here is Nova API talk to the Nova scheduler the Nova scheduler services responsible for selecting a compute node that is suitable for launching this virtual machine based on a variety of parameters that we can that we can configure in this case it's easy because we have only one virtual machine one compute node that is capable of hosting this virtual machine what also happens is the respective image namely the sero space image that we have here is being transmitted over to the compute node and IP addresses are being allocated from neutron for this new instance it has received the IP address 10 5 5 3 and if we take a look here we should be able to see a startup log from this virtual machine what it has done here it has received IP addresses from the neutron DHCP service that is what you can see down here it obtains a lease for 10 5 5 3 it adds a DNS server as required and then it connects to a magic URL which is the Nova API the Nova metadata API service where it actually fetches its own metadata such as for example the SSH key that we have created for it and that is a complete boot of Cirrus here we also should see a full lock here if we if we selected that here and so now let's take a look here's Charlie and here is our Cirrus node so let's see and we're out of toast oh of course yes because what I also want to do is for this instance I would also want to allocate a floating IP address that is if you're familiar with AWS that's what elastic IPs are in AWS or floating IPs in OpenStack in the external network we have a floating IP address pool from which we can now allocate an IP address and associate that with that machine so that has now been associated in a few seconds there we go there's our connection to that box and here is our Cirrus machine so in 63 minutes from zero that is to say from complete bare Ubuntu 1204 no open stack no trace of OpenStack on it a bit of puppet even on a slow box a really slow box at least IOI's within 63 minutes where we're getting to a completely working OpenStack cloud that can actually fire up a virtual machine and not only can fire it up a virtual machine but just for completeness sake we can also create a volume here so whoops let's take a look here so here's our proc partitions that only has a VDA device of course so it's a single device that we booted from I want to create a volume that I named tests I want to give it one gig in size I want to make it empty no source I could also create a volume from an existing image here is the volume that I have created in case just in case you're curious the way this is implemented in this case is something that we can see on our node named Alice if we take a look at TGT Adam mode target show that is the volume that has just been created for us and exported as an ice-guzzy target completely automagically and we should also in fact see that here oh we don't have an LS SCSI here so there is nothing here as yet and if we now go ahead and attach we want to attach that to the serious instance as def VDB so that has been attached let's take a look we can see that on our node named Bob here it has just attached in the background to ice-guzzy and the machine itself doesn't even care whoops doesn't even care whether it's ice-guzzy or something completely different because as far as it sees is just another virtual device that has been added to it we're out of time so unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to go into metering and and orchestration however if you would like to reproduce this tutorial you may do so at any time the only things that you need to do is you need to add the metering and orchestration node classes to presumably your node named Alice and then you will be able to interact with a heat stack or cilometer statistics as well I apologize for going slightly over time and I apologize for the IO issues here I hope this was interesting for you nonetheless what this tutorial was meant to show you is that in a very short amount of time and trust me if you're doing this in real hardware you can do it in 20 minutes or less you can build an open stack Havana cloud a fully fully fledged and fully workable and working open stack cloud that you can then use to deploy your virtual instances so within 60 minutes on this machine or 20 minutes on an actual piece or set of hardware you can go from building the cloud to actually using the cloud and that's ultimately what you want to do you don't want to be held up with with building your cloud for for too long a few final words if you like this talk it would be great if you could let us know has text those are Twitter handle if you want to refer back to the slides or use them for a presentation of your own you're certainly welcome to do so the sources are in the I'm sorry there's actually an error there it is LCU 2013 in my in my personal a github repo so that's github.com slash FGHOS slash LCU 2013 and by the way if you're interested in my slides from Liz Khan year last year just substitute 2013 with 2012 and if you want to learn more about open stack then I also encourage you to check out our schedule it's the UK schedule sorry which is on our website we do have classes coming up in Munich later this year and also in Bangalore and we have more in Sao Paulo in January so if you're interested in that please do take a look thank you very much for your kind attention if you have any further questions I'll be happy to stick around if you do not please enjoy your lunch and enjoy your afternoon have a great rest of the conference thank you


What is the right way to pray? Is there a right way to pray? There's an old saying in Chicago politics that says, vote early and often. Well, we're not saying vote early and often, but what we are saying is pray early and often. As early as you can, as often as you can. The Bible says to pray without ceasing. Well, how do you pray without ceasing? Well, simple.  There's no place that you can go. There's no time that he's not with you.  You can say a simple word because remember, God is not really impressed with the many words you use. He's not impressed with your vocabulary. There's nothing you can do that can impress him. However, you can please him with your heart. Why is that? Because it's the heart that determines the right way to go about praying. You do realize that some folks only pray over their food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  That's fine. But you do realize the chicken died for you. The chicken gave his life for you. The problem is though, the chicken didn't want to do it. He didn't do so willingly. And also more important, he didn't do so to gain salvation for you. But Jesus did. And so it's that heart of gratitude, that thanksgiving to him, the fact that you recognize that and you're appreciative. That's why you want to speak to a God who would do such a thing. His word says when he was asked, pray in this way, our Father who is in heaven. We literally have a God who loves us enough to be our Father who is in heaven. How holy and how awesome is his name. There's nothing above his name. There's nothing as wonderful as he is. And so we acknowledge that and we profess that. Verbally before him, he says, your kingdom come, your will be done.  I want whatever is going on in your world, God, to be happening in my world. Help me to submit to that. And he says, give me this day my daily bread. Whatever I need for the day, Lord, give it to me. That is more of your word. Give me more of your word today. Give me more people singing about your word today. Give me more people talking about your word today. Give me the time to pray about your word today. Lord, give me more of you, your spirit today. Just for today, I worry about tomorrow because I know that what I need now, you'll give it to me. And then notice what he says, he says, and forgive us our debts. Well, we already know that we're forgiven. Thank you for forgiving me, my debts, Lord God. Those I don't know about and those that I do know about and help me to forgive others as I have been forgiven as well. And please, Lord, keep me from sin. Keep me from the evil one as he wants to come at me. Lord, God, help me to resist and to fight sin. But how do we do so? By simply praying. Again, not our many words is going to impress him. None of that but our heart, a sincere heart because it's born out of faith. And how do you please him? By faith. The mere fact that you pray demonstrates your level of faith. And so the right way to pray, pray early, pray often and pray with the right heart. Amen.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It is Wednesday. We had a new loading screen yesterday. We had tradable pack supply on the market with UA for market matchups, and still the market went even higher. So I'm gonna talk to you guys today about Thursday flipping investments that we could possibly buy into today. Is some stuff already too inflated to buy? Yes, I do think that is the case. So I'm gonna talk around what stuff rose yesterday and into today. What's gonna happen possibly with content, with another loading screen, and kind of like the Thursday flipping scenario this week. Now last week was also a very good week Thursday flip. A lot of cards did go up, and there was some investing beforehand, but this week we've seen such a big market rise since Sunday night, Monday morning. That, it's gonna get a bit interesting this week, especially with the team of the week market movements that's going on right now. There's a lot of leaks circulating, even right now, late Tuesday night, as in recording this. And that's just very interesting to me. And there's already a lot of cards that are moving on the market because of that. So the team of the week today has a big part in what happens to the market today. And of course, whatever else content we do get, but we are confirmed to be getting road to the final on Friday. So that is gonna be the first thing I'm gonna talk about relating to rewards this week. Since there's a promotion coming on Friday and there is nothing in packs right now, that means some people might be saving their rewards for Friday, which means the possibility for less of a market rise on Thursday. It's something to keep in mind this week while we're Thursday flipping. Of course, we did get this information from EA yesterday. Real Madrid did beat Inter, so Isco is gonna be getting a road to the final SBC that will come out at some point during road to the final since Real Madrid did beat Inter. So that's our first confirmed road to the final card as of right now in the game. So of course, I wanna talk about that. I'll say that towards the end of the video though. Let's again look at Thursday flips and what kind of stuff can we be interested in this week or Thursday flips? Well, since a lot of stuff has already risen up so much on the market, we need to look in a couple of different areas. And there's three major areas that I wanna look at this week. Out of packs, informs is number one. Now a lot of these informs have already risen, right? Even this week's team of the week, team of the week five, Zaha earlier tonight on stream was 215, he's now 230. Valverde is up from like 265. Kimmich is up 10K plus. Joe Gomez is up like 50, 60,000 coins already. Polinio is up 10K. A lot of people have bought into these cards as they're going out of packs. Same thing with the rule breakers, a lot of those cards are up. And especially some of these cards. Firmino is up 10K. Partay is up 10K. Romulus is up 20,000 coins. So a lot of these cards have already been invested and in my opinion. So what I really wanna watch for today on Wednesday is what kind of stuff drops down just a little bit or what kind of stuff drops down today on Wednesday either as we head into rewards timeframe or around the content drop today that we could get into. And the number one thing that I would say is a decent investment would be these out of packs informs. If a card went up last week, right? If a card went up last week, there's a possibility and a probability that it could rise again, right? We always say that. If it rose once, it can rise again. Now think about who's gonna be in team league this week who could be in, right? There's a lot of Portuguese kind of rumors, right? Jota possibly being in. Gelsen Martins possibly being in. You've got guys like Renato Sanchez is informed who are just absurdly inflated right now. Now there's a couple of these cards that I think are overinvested in and could possibly drop this being one of them. Just because of team of the week leaks today if you see any panic selling on an inform like a Renato Sanchez that is very OP or any ones to watch cards that are like Gareth Bale is dropping right now because the leaks are saying that he is not in. He was gone from 260 down to 240 in the past couple of hours. Same thing with Cimetto because people are saying Walker is in. So this ones to watch card is starting to drop. Just keep an eye on these today because there is gonna be a point where the panic selling if they're not in team of the week will get too low and that'll be a buy opportunity because a lot of those guys have games again this weekend which they will rise for and they'll just rise after a panic selling period. That happens all the time. So keep a watch on those but Out of Packs Informs today would be like my number one place to look if there's any sort of selling on the market. If there's any sort of panic selling and you see these cards drop down around 6 p.m. or before rewards the Out of Packs cards would be my number one favorite. Even Mertens who was 530K this morning was just down to like 495. I was trying to look and see if I get an undercut under 490 and I didn't and he's back up to 500K. So maybe missed one there because he could very easily fluctuate back over 530K and be profitable. So that's a possible missed investment there. But that's number one. Out of Packs Informs are some things that I really just love to trade with on this game all the time and you're seeing a lot of people have invested in those already this week. But I mean, I still feel like there's a possibility for some of these cards to go up even further. Jamie Vardy is one that I'm keeping my eye on because some people think he's gonna get a team of the week this week. I don't think he will for one goal, one assist for a second inform. That's not enough for me but I think this guy can easily go up to like 215, 220. So if I can find him at 190 I would be a big time buyer in that kind of price range. A guy that's already, it's in team of the week right now it's gonna be going out of Packs is this Zaha card. I'm really, really high on this one. He's already up to like 230,000 coins. He was 215 earlier tonight. So he's risen up a decent amount already. But just watch for a panic song on these today. That could be a big buy on the out of Packs Informs. Now of course we also talk about gold cards, right? Some people don't like investing in gold cards. Some of these cards are getting invested in right now. They're very up in price. Ben Yetter is one of those, right? Again, I'll mention Gelson Martins and just a whole league one, right? French cards right now are very expensive or very getting invested in because they're very hyped up. We've had a lot of league one and French links in the past couple of days with SBCs and promo cards. Ben Yetter is being invested in literally as we speak. He's gone from 50K all the way up to 60K right now because of that Gelson Martins possibly getting in team of the week. So if you're looking at gold cards this week look at Premier League, look at Ligue 1 and look at French slash Brazil because I think French and Brazil links are always gonna do good. Premier League is always gonna do good. But some of the French cards that maybe went up a decent amount last week, you know, maybe a guy like Leng Lei, a guy like Griezmann, these would be cards that I would watch again today because of all the French hype that is kind of building right now. Griezmann is still kind of low, right? He was 53K earlier this morning down to 50,000 coins where he's at right now. Monday he was still 51 and went to 53. So I mean last week he went from 59 up to 64. I believe he was even cheaper than this before rewards. But with all the French hype that's going around, maybe a guy like Griezmann does decent this week, Leng Lei should do decent. Just watch those kind of links this week. Veron is probably gonna go to the moon this week in my opinion, I think he'll go up a lot. And I think it's boosted around this Molay card. Just again, the denier, SBC that came out. And of course if Gelson Martins gets in, links to of course Renato Sanchez. There's a lot of League One stuff that's kind of happening. So just keep an eye on this stuff, right? And also just look through some of these cards, right? If cards are already inflated, like last week, Gold Allen did not do well at all because there was a lot of investing, right? He went from 49,000 coins to 50K. Like he literally did not move because of over investing last week. Although the week before he went from 54 to 68. There's gonna be some cards like that this week. Maybe Ben Yetter is that card this week that doesn't really go up much after rewards. Just because of that over investing that happened. So just be careful with that. But look around for some gold cards that still could have room to rise. Abami Yang is somebody who I'm slightly interested in. I was looking at him tonight on stream. He was still 200K flat, 201. Right now he's 210. He could very easily drop back down to the 200K range or under 200K. And this guy last week went from 210 to 230 and probably was selling at 240 at some point in that timeframe. I would not be surprised if this guy goes from like 200K all the way up into 230 to 240 range. And that's not terrible return on investment even if it's a buy for your team. That's not a bad investment right there for gold cards. And then one last thing I wanna talk about. So go through some of these, look through the graphs and just find some of the meta cards that are very popular that we kind of watch rise every single week. And if they're not really inflated that there's not a lot of investing happening ahead of time, you can definitely get in on some of those. Watch Joe Gomez this week. His inform is very popular. All right. Of course he's been out of packs but his price is still going up like he's still very, very meta. So watch this card out of packs today. If he does get supplied at all today on Wednesday if he drops down to like low 120s, the 110s that might be too low.  Even though he's just coming back into packs because that happened with Rashford last week. He was out of packs, his inform card he's got a lot of hype because he's very good. And he went up a lot more this week. He went from like 210, 200K I think after he came back into packs. Now he's 240, 250. So I think this card, if it goes down 10,000 coins would be a huge buy-in opportunity around the 125 range on the Xbox and maybe around the 100 under 110 range possibly on the Xbox or sorry. 120s on the PlayStation and like 110s are under on the Xbox. What do you have here? Like what? 7K attack, so not a ton of tax but a very, very meta and very popular card at that. So kind of keep your eyes on him. Those are kind of the two areas that I would focus on this week. The out of packs cards, panic selling on wants to watch is for a possible rebound after rewards and then some meta gold cards as well. If you're somebody that has a lot of coins if you're somebody that has a lot of coins one thing you can also do is get in on icons. This is an area that not a lot of people are really getting in at the moment but I'm gonna sort by PS price here just to see a lot of the really expensive ones. Let's go to like page three. Some of the icons that are in like the three to 700 and or K range could be very investable this week.  It's very popular that a lot of people are gonna want to use. That could be a card that really rises a lot this week depending on links. Ashley Cole could be a decent one. Like go through John Barnes is a 86 rated four star, four star, this guy's got a lot of hype right now. Just look at some of these graphs from like the past couple of weeks. They don't show it a ton always on the footprint graphs but these icons have been doing great on Thursdays. It doesn't, you can't really see it on here but some of the icons like last week I think it was baby Zola. He went up a lot last week. So if you're somebody who's on a bigger budget I think icons are gonna do pretty well this week as well. French icons would be a huge move in my opinion. This is Ashley Cole's middle card here. Yeah, last week you went from 309 to 350. So that's not too terrible right there with some English links. Maybe you look at some Portuguese icons maybe even like Deco or Rui Costa. You could possibly get interested in too if you're on a higher budget. If you're interested in any of that stuff. Let's check a guy like Balak. What did he do last week? He went from 530 all the way up to 580. Probably you could even have seen some sales around 600K where he's still kind of chilling this week. So that's a pretty solid investment rise. Watch some of the baby icons from the popular nations. Big names, good end game. Soul Campbell probably would be another one this week. Last week you went from 570 up to 620. So just kind of watch some of this cards if you're on a higher budget this week as well or if you wanna make a buy for your team that could be a very good time, very good opportunity to do that this week as well. So again, I'm a little bit scared on some of the investing on some of these cards already. Some of the out-of-packs informs especially. A guy like Ramos, right? A guy like center back, Sergio Ramos is already up in like the 320,000 coin range where this guy was like under 300K a couple days ago even like one or two days ago. So I do think there's a lot of investing that's happened already. That's why I'm really trying to look around and find guys like Abam Yang that I mentioned. This would be somebody who hasn't really risen up that much this week yet, but it's still a very meta card that a lot of people wanna use that could be a big buy. Martial is another one. He has started to rise up a little bit because of French links. But if I can work around the laggy menus, Martial is up like 8,000, 9,000 coins I think. Actually, no, he's down a little bit. He was been like high 120s or 130K this week. If you can snag this card right around 130K or below, which looks like right now he's about 133 which doesn't seem too terrible for me. I would get interested in this card for the manual links, the French links possible. Just a card that rose last week and a card that a lot of people are interested in using. That would be one that I would keep an eye on as well. So let's take a look. Since we talked about Thursday investing again, I guess the last point that I wanna make on that, right? This week we've seen really good market rises in the past two weeks on most cards. This week I do think that with the inclusion of the road to the final stuff going on, I would be a bit skeptical that there's a huge market rise. I feel like there might be a little bit of panic selling after rewards and there might be a time for a frame where you see a lot of people that have invested sell those cards and not a lot of stuff moves on the market. Some stuff will still go up. I'm just a little bit, a little bit feeling iffy about Thursday. So pick the right stuff and I do think you can make some coins on Thursday.  And that would mean possibly less of a market rise on Thursday, so just be kind of wary of that. I do wanna talk about road to the finals though, because that is coming on Friday, confirmed by the loading screen that was dropped yesterday. We'll probably see a new loading screen today with the card design on it. Probably not any leaks for players yet or hints from EA yet. I would just expect to see that on Thursday or if they tease anybody with the loading screen. But just to show you what happened for road to the final last year, the player selection was phenomenal. Big time names, big time players, if it is similar to this this year, if it's similar to last year's team this year with the big time players, nice dynamic images and decent boosts. And remember these cards were so, so rare. Like almost all of these cards rose out of packs and they were almost, a lot of them were the cheapest on the first day. Milletown went from 400K to 700,000 coins in about three to four weeks because of the rarity of these cards. These guys were so rare, it was unreal last year. Of course, Champions League was in full swing. The Bala went from first day, he was down at 500K and went all the way back up to 785-800. These cards were like dinosaurs last year. So we will see if that is the same cases this year. If the player selection is hot, the pack weight is super-duper-duper low and there's saved up packs which there could be. People have like what, three or four days now to save up packs until Friday when the new team, when this team, excuse me, will come out into packs. That's just something to kind of keep in mind that the player selection for this could be really good. That could mean some possible panic selling depending on what cards do come out on Friday. So I do expect a nice rise in the market Friday night per usual but we might have a little bit of a dip Thursday after the content drop if we do get some more hints and stuff what's gonna happen with Road to the Final. And it's just hype, right? Road to the Final is one of the most interesting promos that people love that promo in this game just because the fact that it's different, right? It's not a player's performance that makes the card move. It's the team's performance. Champions League, of course, is the biggest competition outside of the regular leagues in the world in football. So it's just got all the eyes on it. The card designs for Champions League promos are freaking nasty anyway. They're so beautiful. EA always knocks those out of the park. So that's another thing that people like in this game. So I think there is gonna be some panic selling and possibility for a little bit of a market crash with the Road to the Final promo because I still feel like some of the stuff is a bit expensive. Kane Rule Breaker is like the obvious one to me. It still seems to be a bit pricey at 1.2 million coins. This guy is still pretty expensive. So he also fluctuates a lot, by the way. If you wanna trade this card, he was literally 1.2 million hour ago and he was like 1.15 earlier today. So that's a nice flip right there if you can make that happen. So yeah, boys, today's gonna be an interesting day. Team of the Week is coming out. There's gonna be a lot of leagues, a lot of market movements early in the day and when Team of the Week drops and of course people that are gonna wanna buy Thursday flips, just watch the market during the content drop timeframe and into the nighttime if there's any sell-off at all or if some cards are just not moving upwards and not getting invested in. That could be an opportunity to buy some of those cards. I'm gonna be buying cards for Thursday flips because you gotta spend coins to make coins. So if we go in on Thursday flips and we do make a few losses, we'll make it back. But I do think the market will still rise because people are opening their week in league rewards. We could have a decent team of the week today which could mean more coins coming onto the market through Team of the Week packs. Tradeable for the upper tier guys. Making some of those higher meta tier cards rise in price a bit more. So that's gonna be something to watch out for as well. It's gonna be a crazy Wednesday, right? Team of the Week leaks. Twitter's gonna be going crazy. Foot Twitter is kind of a mess the way it is. So if you're not following me on Twitter, cheeky plug for that. The link is down in the description if you wanna follow me there. But yeah, check all those links out. They're real good. Anyways, thanks for watching this video boys. If the Thursday flips have helped you out at all in the past couple of weeks, I know a lot of people have made some coins. Smash your thumbs up on the video. This week we should be making some coins as well. Of course, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel for new. It's been Nate the Foot Account. Catch you guys later. Peace. Out.


Aaron, when they bring in Mesa, it's pretty much foregone conclusion. They're likely going to walk you there in that situation. But how badly do you want the opportunity to get an at bat? And that's about. Oh, game on the line. That's where you want to hit. That's why I'm doing all the work to put myself in the position to go out there and help the team out and help us get a win right there. But I trust every single guy on our lineup and every single guy on our bench. And especially the guy behind me, Anthony Rizzo, to end in day out throughout this whole season has always come up in big spots. But today they didn't do it, and they'll show up tomorrow and get it done. You've been talking over here about how the first goal is to win the division.   Not really. Just focused on playing a game. And then whatever happens after, then we can celebrate or not celebrate. But we treat every single game as if it was a post-season game. First game of the year to even this game tonight. Nothing really changes. How quickly did you know when they made that pitching change that they'll likely call the intentional walk on you? You never know. I don't think I've been hitting lefties well all year, so you never know what analytics is going to say. But I think once they made the move, I kind of had a feeling. But you got to stay locked in in that position and you can't think you're going to get walked and all of a sudden you're going to step it in the box, but he's in 98. So I try to stay locked in until they tell me to move on. Do you feel any different, Aaron, with kind of a different crowd than you've had the last six or seven games at home? Not everyone quite is invested in every pitch while you were at the plate? Nothing's like Yankee Stadium. That's for sure. I know the Roger Center here gets pretty loud and pretty packed. But nothing like Yankee Stadium, but it felt just like a normal game for me just like the past couple of days. I don't know if the cameras are on you more, but you've been doing a lot of studying with the iPad. Looking at video, what are you looking for? I just like checking on my swing and see what's going on and also kind of seeing where certain pitches were. You can have an idea where the strike zone is in your head and you just kind of like double checking to make sure you're right or wrong.


Choice. Allow voting. It's sometimes useful to be able to see at a glance how your learners are progressing, or to gauge their opinions or needs. Moodle has an activity called choice, which allows teachers to set up voting options with radio buttons, and a learner chooses a particular option. It doesn't only have to be how well you feel you're progressing, for example in this choice on a Film Studies course, the participants are asked to select which film they would like to focus on for their next project. As a teacher, you can always see the responses because you have a View Responses link to take you into the reports. Let's go into our course and set up a choice. To do this we need to click the Turn Editing on button top right, or scroll down and click the link in the Administration block Turn Editing on. And then, in the section where we'd like to add our choice voting activity, we click the link Add an activity or resource. This brings up Moodle's activity chooser. Choice is an activity because students are interacting with Moodle. And then when we click the button once we see that there are various examples on the right of how you could use a choice activity with a link to more help. It's a very versatile module. When we click the Add button to add it, the first thing we will do is give it a name which will identify it on the course page for our learners. And we can give it a description if we wish, and check the box to display this description on the course page. If we're only going to have a few options which we'll show as radio buttons, we can display them horizontally. If we think we're going to need a lot, then we can choose to display them vertically instead. If we allow the choice to be updated, a learner can change their mind. This might be useful if, for example, they might not be too sure of their progress on Monday, but they might feel much more confident on Wednesday. Since Moodle 2.8, it's been possible for participants to make more than one selection if you enable this setting and if it's appropriate for your choice activity. If we limit the number of responses allowed, then only a certain number may choose each option. This might be useful if you want to put students into groups, or if you want to give them all a chocolate bar and you only have 10 of one particular type of chocolate bar. We then type the options which we want to see against the radio buttons in each of these boxes. If we need more, we click the button to add more. There are other settings which might be useful to explore at a later date. For instance, availability if you want to set a time limit to your voting. And results if you want to decide whether or not your learners will see each other's choices and if you do whether or not your learners will see the names of the others. You might also want to show a column for unanswered. This means that you can see instantly who hasn't done the task because they will appear in a column of their own. Then we scroll down and click save and return to course. And we have set up a voting activity, a choice, for our learners. And you can see that it has its own icon. With this theme it's a question mark. So the learners can see immediately what type of activity they're about to do.

Hello, Explosive Reports where we bring you some of the stories and events that made the news recently and just in case you missed out on some of them, don't worry we've got you covered in this edition. Welcome, I'm Jacinta Obuco. Poor leadership, lack of maintenance policy, attitudinal problem and corruption are identified among others as the major causes of poor maintenance and consequently you see some buildings like government structures at the verge of collapsing, abandoned factory plants and machinery. In this case is the transportation system where commuters in legal state have lamented the poor services rendered on the bus rapid transit BRT. In the quest to know why, we spoke to the managing director of a private sector in charge of the BRT services in some areas of the city. He revealed that they actually turned off the air conditioning system in BRT to save cost. Take a listen. Public transportation is the backbone of any economy as people need to move from one point to another. But there is an issue of poor maintenance culture, an attitude that is deep seated and has affected the quality of public property like the bus rapid transit BRT in Lagos. Commuters make bitter complaints ranging from 40 air conditioner on camped buses delay in loading to limited number of buses for busy routes. At the very beginning the buses were in no need, everything was well taken care of but now we have cases like just the other day I was like on my way home and somebody threw up in the bus then we asked for broom or something to clean it. At first we asked for any hand available to come and clean and they said there was nobody available. The way they park us like say we are sanding, no AC. The population of the people standing is heavier than the population of the people sitting down. Sometimes you see some catten doing koni koni, you come late, they will make sure say the one that come late if you tip them, they will bring that person to the front. Occasionally the bus supposed to be subjected to routine maintenance and all those things. The ask is just to collect money, people will be just run it in a natural time and that's initial this thing. People will enjoy it, today it's nothing to write to them about, it's dirty, the ACs are not working, they don't even care about the passengers. Look at this BLT, no committee, no institution, no personnel have any point to say that you are responsible for the maintenance of these vehicles. For Latino reason the private sector, he runs a partnership with the legal state government overseeing BLT services, Plai and Ikurudu to Tafawa Belewa Square. He said it is expensive to give commuters the required services as maintenance costs a fortune. And once a clean bus, they want the AC to work, they want the Wi-Fi to work, they want everything to work. If we want a world-class service, it's not rocket science, but if you don't have money to pay, what do you do? Every time you go out of the country and you see all these shiny buses, somebody is paying for it, but in Nigeria it seems we want to have a cake and eat it at the same time. It's not possible. The AC is actually working, but because to save costs we have to turn them off. He is aware of the challenges, but wants the government to invest more in good transportation in order to be able to oil the economy from the sector. The legal state government is trying, but the federal government must come to the table because whatever happens in Lagos affects the whole of Nigeria until we start telling ourselves the truth, we are just deleting ourselves, we are like Austrian brothers. That's the reason why everybody all over the world, public transport is subsidized all over the world. It's only in Nigeria we're trying to make it break even. The bus rapid transit BRT in Lagos launched in March 2008 was meant to provide Lagos commuters with a clean, affordable and reliable means of getting around the city. This launch pushed the long stay of these vehicles known as Molue, which became a nightmare for commuters. The introduction of the BRT by the government was also to make a sound statement about improving the outlook of the mega city. Years down the line, the pride of the BRT is gradually fading away if no attention is paid to it by its handlers. Unsecurity, the House of Representatives have called on the federal government to provide body cameras to be attached to the officers and men of security agencies in Nigeria. They also want situation rooms across the country to monitor the activities. The body cameras, the House argued, will help checkmate cases of abuse of power and human rights. What do you think? Over the years, there have been concerns about allegations of harassment, extortion and extradition killings of citizens by security operatives. These often result in reprisals and uprising by the citizens. The House is convinced that security operatives ought to wear body cameras in order to have picture and video evidence of the activities. The green chamber is cognizant that the body cameras will keep the security operatives in check. The House is therefore concerned about all allegations of harassment, extortion and extradition killings of citizens by security operatives, which often result in reprisals and uprising by the citizens. The House is therefore convinced that the security operatives will often express religious scrutiny over their conduct in the discharge of their duties or to wear body cameras in order to have picture and video evidence of the activities. While the idea of security agents wearing body cameras is laudable, funding is also of the essence. Well, Mr. Speaker, the problem we are having with coming up with motions of this nature is that we will complain that some of these motions are not being implemented by the executive. I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, at the moment, the security agencies are even, we are worried that they should even have normal kittens. They are not even here to get the normal uniforms to go for, to conduct some of their operations. Now, by the time you add the issue of the most used body cameras, it's very likely that this may not come our way. The House is hopeful that police body cameras may provide the best evidence, but there's need for a much better regulation. Among the things that we have discussed today, the national, as a matter of motion, is how security agents' chiefs are taking out money, leaving people hungry. Somebody from NDLA, from our DG, was the one who was giving that kind of thing. So for us to make our system good, it's good to lay out the fundamentals of what a normal system should be, and then we follow another question of funding. The Federal Road Safety Corps had launched body cameras for its patrol operations. It is believed that it has the potential to better document encounters between officers and citizens, while mitigating competing concerns about their potential for misuse or abuse. On matters surrounding 2023 general elections, I don't know about you, but I am one of those that think online voter cards registration is seamless and a better process. But in this report, the House of Representatives has urged INEC to conduct physical registrations across the country. It also asked INEC to increase the time frame of the new voter's registration across Nigeria. Honourable Abubaka Yalaman from Jigawa State moved the motion at Plenary on Thursday. He suggested that INEC conduct fresh physical registration across the country. While debating the motion, he said many constituencies have been displaced due to non-availability of registration centres and officials, insufficient operational tools and equipment, among others, arose a drawback for successful conduct of elections. Honourable Yalaman said if the voter registration exercise is concluded without addressing these challenges, many citizens will be disenfranchised in the forthcoming election. The concern that my constituency, my number one government constituency and many other federal constituencies have been placed at disadvantage position due to the non-availability of registration centres and officials in adequate power supply, insufficient official tools and equipment as well as inadequate enlightenment programme. The effects of this are no-figure recorded within the constituencies. The goal of INEC to concede that the current reality is on the ground in most constituencies by deploying both physical and virtual processes in the proposed voter registration. That we adopt this motion as our own motion because, like I said, it has spoken directly to the concerns we have about registration. It is a motion also that seeks to address some of the deficiencies and major concerns of our electoral procedures and our voting system. Not up to 10%, Mr Speaker, have access to what INEC are using now to do the continuous voter registration. Mr Speaker, until and unless the physical enumerators, like it is done in the past, INEC are advised or compelled, in other words, to ensure that they employ ad hoc staff to go the four angles of Nigeria and ensure that they have captured citizens of this country who are eligible, who is not a privilege for them to participate in the forthcoming election. If you look at the statistics of last year and the statistics of this year, you'll find that that is almost more than 10 times more people were registered manually by this time last year. So online registration hasn't helped us. So we need to not only ensure that we mix both physical, manual and online at the same time, which means only going physically to all the voting centres and make sure that there's time enough. The motion was passed when proved to vote by the Speaker. It mandated the House Committee on Electoral Matters to ensure compliance and report for further legislative action. On boy child education, everyone, including the community, have a huge role to play in educating the boy child as it would help in stemming societal ills. Thus, we are the words of the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr. Ibijo Kesson-Wolu, at the second day of a three-day workshop on the boy child initiative. Loviku Kueyedokon covered the workshop for Plus TV News. Better informed, we do better. Better informed, we do better. Better reformed, we do better. There was a message from this workshop. The film speaks volume. The 21st century boy child speaking with confidence. Wife of Lagos State Governor, Dr. Ibijo Kesson-Wolu blames the society for robbing the boy child of his confidence. She wants this narrative changed. Lots of things are happening. The painting the boy child back is always bullying. He's a macho man. That's the only thing we hear about them. Okay, maybe one of them became President Gokno. But the story and the picture we're having out there is not good. And we want to change the narrative. We want them to know that the boys are also very useful men. The boys are going to become men. And boys have emotions too. Everyone is unique, so says the first lady who insists no child should be underestimated but be given all needed support for them to realize their full potentials. For us in the community, we have a lot of work to do. We are going to be the community parents, community police officers ourselves to ensure that every child goes to school. It doesn't pay us when one child is left behind. It might be that child that is roaming the streets the most brilliant but doesn't have the opportunity to go to school. The Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayome boasts the morale of the students. I'm not saying don't have an interest in life but let's make sure that you are focused. Let's have your focus. Your focus is to become a professional, to add value to society, to add value to yourself so that when I buy your services I'm going to be buying at a high rate. These boys are ready to take up challenges and be problem solvers. The leaders of today are leaders of tomorrow. When you take your time to read, work hard in the early age then definitely you achieve your goal. They should be of themselves. They should not allow anyone to define them. The esteem they have for themselves will be the ones to determine their long way. Speakers are the event-advised boys to be wary of the company they keep in order not to jeopardize their future. From Baderie, Legas, Love Ikuku Uiedoku Plus TV News. Now the thrust here is that just like girl child, boy child deserve all the care, attention, training and most importantly, discipline that they can get for a better society. It's nine time for a short break. We'll be right back with more.
