New York Public School says all whites perpetuate systemic racism. In an effort to be more awoke, a New York Public School system introduced a new curriculum, which claims all white people perpetuate systemic racism. As part of the new lesson plans, kindergartners are forced to watch videos that many have found deeply disturbing. Fatima Moral, the associate superintendent for culturally and linguistically responsive initiatives at Buffalo Public Schools in New York, created and introduced a new curriculum, series of lesson plans, and teacher training for Buffalo Public Schools to encourage teachers and pupils to be more awoke, in her words, in their efforts at anti-racism. The new curriculum teaches students that all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism, but that's not all. The lesson plans devised by Fatima Moral, which all Buffalo schools are expected to follow, were obtained by City Journal. According to the outlet, older pupils are taught about the sickness of American society as part of the curriculum, while the youngest pupils read a series of texts under the heading, Woke Kindergarten, which are described as being digital, culturally responsive and sustaining easy reader books. In addition to the reading materials, which purportedly help children with their learning for liberation and tell the stories of children that we have lost to racist police and state-sanctioned violence, kindergartners are forced to watch videos of dead black children to warn them about racist police and state-sanctioned violence. The videos feature black children who were shot and killed, including the stories of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, 12-year-old Tamir Rice, and 7-year-old Iona Stanley Jones, among others. In the footage, a total of six young people are imagined telling their stories on video. The purpose is reportedly to instruct the kindergarten class about the dangers of police brutality and systemic racism, according to Daily Mail. Thanks to a tip from a whistleblower, City Journal obtained the clips where Ayanna tells young viewers, I was sleeping, and Trayvon says, I was walking. After viewing the videos, the four to six-year-old students are asked by their teachers to compare their skin color with an arrangement of crayons, Daily Mail reports, adding, by fifth grade, students are taught that America has created a school-to-grave pipeline for black children and that, as adults, one million black people are locked in cages. Of course, it doesn't end there, but rather, the curriculum continues into both middle and high school, where students are taught under headings such as the racial power of white elites. Older students are also asked to atone for their white privilege and to use their voices to end racism. They are also taught that, often unconsciously, white elites work to perpetuate racism through politics, law, education, and the media. The curriculum also places emphasis on American society being created for the impoverishment of people of color and enrichment of white people, and pupils are told that the United States created a social system that had racist economic inequality built into its foundation. The lessons claim that, the current wealth gap is the result of black slavery, which created unjust wealth for white people who are unfairly rich. Students also study white European systems of justice, in which, according to the curriculum, whites have created a retributive, merit-based justice system, which relies on harsh punishment and creates inequalities. Fatima Morrill held seminars for teachers, where she explained the new teaching plans and pushed radical politics, according to one teacher, who spoke with City Journal. Zoom sessions were also organized, which the veteran teacher described as, scoldings, guilt trips, and demands to demean oneself simply to make another feel empowered. The teacher also claimed that educators must submit to these, manipulative mind games, and express support for Morrill's left-wing politics or risk professional retaliation. During a presentation to teachers, Morrill allegedly explained the reasoning behind the lesson plans, saying, that's America's sickness, sickness that we have to deal with. Teachers were also told they had to be, critically conscious, or woke. And, this isn't a first for Morrill. In September 2020, she was questioned on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show over her plan to teach fourth and fifth grade students the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the collective village that takes care of each other. They are teaching to your kids that your family should be destroyed, Carlson said at the time. Why are we allowing this? You know what this is, it's an all-out war on the most important thing we have, which is the American family. When it comes to ending racism, Fatima Morrill's lessons fly in the face of Morgan Freeman's advice. When asked by Mike Wallace during an interview how we end racism, he said, stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man. And, I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You're not going to say, I know this white guy named Mike Wallace. Hear what I'm saying. I hear you, Morgan. Fatima Morrill, however, obviously does not.

and I shall be your host as we journey to take your health back. We are coming to you live from my home in Makiki and from the studios of Think Tech Hawaii in downtown Honolulu. Think Tech Hawaii showcases very diverse topics with very colorful show hosts. We welcome you to join us daily as J. Fidel, our boss, makes sure that we have high quality content to share with you. Well last year I had the honor of meeting this unique young man who is visiting Hawaii from Ohio. I invited him to join us today as he's very passionate about many things that are of interest to me like my cardiac health, my oral hygiene and my nutrition. His name is Henry Lee and he works in a clinic in Ohio called the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center and Complete Health Dentistry. The title of our show today is how to live long and how to live long and die short. Six worlds best doctors right in your own home. Today we shall be discussing how do we want to shift our mindset from sick care and treating disease to self-care and preventing it from before it happens. What I would like you to take away from today's talk is to adopt six, six simple daily lifestyle changes that will optimize your living and minimize your dying. Wow. I'd like to introduce to you my new found friend and lifesaver or should I say lives saver Henry Lee. Aloha and welcome Henry. Aloha thank you for that kind introduction Wendy. Yeah well I was just so impressed when I met you. It was only last year a short time but in that short time where you were visiting Hawaii we spent a lot of quality hours together and we welcomed in the new year as well as you took me to your work office at Magic Island at Alamoana Park and I think we put some really good thoughts together to help save this world so let's get started Henry. I know like me you um I wear many hats and I know you do too so can you share with us a few of those? Yeah certainly thanks thanks for asking so as you can see in some of these pictures here um as Wendy had introduced um I wear many hats some at the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center of Central Ohio so I'm actually currently here in Ohio that's the top left hand corner there it's a partnership between medicine and dentistry because it's one of the very few places on the entire planet that has a cardiologist and a dentist under the same roof um and we look at preventative measures namely healthy lifestyles and you're going to hear about the six pillars that we emphasize we heavily base it on nutrition um and uh trying to combat the diseases and the root causes before they actually happen and we have a couple uh slides that we'll be showing you later at the bottom on the left as Wendy said I had the pleasure of meeting her in person about a month ago so that was super fun and I do a multiple intelligence coaching um I do a few ministries with youth and singles um around the area and I partner with another company called Juice Plus which is a nutritional healthy lifestyle company. Wow there's so many hats you wear and I know I'm going to have to invite you back because I want to share more with all the rest about the intelligence coaching and I hear that that's kind of like the new buzz word right now for people who are at home to get help and assistance going and getting through what we're going through um as we get through this COVID situation so if you don't mind that was uh if you didn't catch it that's the invitation to come back again all right just just go yes. Love you.  I tell you I when I met him and I see the way he has uh used his training and all his skills in his life and how he raised his family his beautiful daughters and how they live in Colorado and share his passion for the joy of coaching um of course who could not admire Jeff Olson so I know that he describes life as a game can you explain that analogy to us Henry? Yeah absolutely um this is one of his phrases that he uses especially being an athlete but you don't have to be an athlete in order to understand that life is a game um you can see in several of these pictures whether you're looking at endurance on the top left or on the cycling or on weight training and strength whether you're looking at weight management and a weight loss or weight gain pregnancy is a big component of that um and just making sure that you are sustaining your lifestyle from start to finish so you can see there's some pictures here of communities of a little uh older folks who are you know conversing and having that community and um and that socialization flexibility is a piece of that too and anything that you do in life is either going to be moving you forward or backwards and it's up to us to make those decisions. Wow and so we should wake up in the morning and just say say to ourselves do we want to go forward in life or do we want to go backwards and make that affirmation I want to go forward today and then direct yourself in that direction and that's how we should start our days every day because what I mean who wants to go backwards right who wants that so we have to direct ourselves because sometimes some consciously we might not program ourselves that way and we might go backwards and sometimes I think um you know during this lockdown Henry honestly I've had days that I've gone backwards where I mean I just sat on my desk and just took the time to be still so most people would call that going backwards but I just say I took the time to be still and took more time to figure out what direction I want to go is that correct that's super healthy and keeping in mind that it's not a matter of what's good or bad those are very opinionated and subject subject right but it's asking yourself is it supportive or not supportive it's if it's supportive for you to slow down and take a breath to meditate then it's supportive yes right it's what it is for the moment and you're absolutely right I love that you're such a young man and you have all this wisdom that's why I could spend hours just hanging out with you so again in your young youthful age here on earth how would you grade the overall health of the world we live in today well that's a great question Wendy and you know this I chose this slide to show you because back in the day you know healthy living used to be really simple you know we had the ability to grow your food in your backyard you had gardens it was go outside and play it was you know grab something to drink you would go out and grab from the grab a drink from the hose yay we did that and I still I would still do that nothing wrong with that and life wasn't as busy but you can see in some of those pictures there that you know we've resorted to a such a busy lifestyle that we have to resort to what I know now or I call now as the three food groups that I grew up on it's processed foods refined foods and fast foods and oftentimes we resort to those because they're easy they're convenient and quite frankly they're kind of cheap so I I would say we have gone backwards we are one of the richest countries in the world and one of the most unhealthy as well wow every time someone says fast food I just think of an apple I think that's God's best fast food I mean and you know like we're on the run I grab an apple if I got to get in the car I wash my apple if I'm not lazy I'll cut it okay so it's not as fast but the faster food is grab that apple wash it down put in the napkin get in your car and go and I just crunch and eat and crunch and eat so to me that's fast food but people don't see it that way and so I think we have a lot of educating to do do you agree with me on that Henry oh absolutely and I think often I'm glad you brought up that point because our idea is constructed over what we grew up from the past and we often time associate fast food with am I allowed to say like McDonald's and Burger King I'm sure I love those too but you're right there's alternatives out there that are that exist is just changing our mindset into what fast food really means there it there exists healthy fast food and in fact the the beauty of this is the technology that we have today actually has the capability not only to produce unhealthy fast food but healthy fast food as well and it's just our responsibility to find that right and it's our our jobs Henry as um as health coaches and health educators I mean my breakfast for the last nine years is a kale smoothie and I've timed it it takes me six minutes to actually harvest my kale which I grow in my tower gardens I harvest my kale I blend it with some blueberries one of our powder mixes with ice and I don't use dairy and I pop that into the blender and in six minutes I have it in my cup and I'm either at my desk at work or I'm going in the car on the road with my breakfast in hand full of nutrients vitamins minerals and I'm just a happy camper I don't have to think do I want my eggs over easy or scrambled I just have my smoothie every morning and it takes to worry out of what am I going to eat for breakfast so there's so much we can do Henry and it's just our job right now is to educate people that there are such healthy alternatives like you mentioned so what can we all do to be healthier Henry I mean I'm learning and I'm hoping I learn a few more tips from you well that's exactly why you're watching today right um so those are you who are tuning in for wherever you are in the world you saw the title of this was the six best doctors in your own home and so I want to start with the graphic on the left here because that goes right along with what you and I were talking about before with the whatever you whatever decisions you're making whether it's eating or drinking or watching or reading it's either moving you forward or backward it's either feeding disease or it's helping you to fight it and so a couple of the six best doctors in the world or six pillars or whatever you want to call them and no particular order of priority but I'm going to go in a sequence that is hopefully going to help you remember these in a narrative format if you imagine going back to the first time that you got CPR trained right fresh air air is what you're all all of your cells need it's one of the the the two vitals that your cells need in order to survive and so if you are taking the time to make sure you're delivering that air to your cells then you are you just explode with life and the fact is that our lung capacity is about six times that of what we normally breathe in on a regular basis so being intentional about breathing the next one here is exercise exercises movement moving that air to your extremities and the nutrients because it doesn't do any good if it's just in your lungs and that helps with cardiovascular health and that's one of the things we emphasize that the heart attack and stroke prevention center hydration helps to flush the flush all the toxins out and every single chemical reaction in the body occurs in the presence of water and but in order to heal your body on the bottom left there rest and sleep and making sure that you're giving your time your body ample time to repair but that also requires that you have the tools and the the ingredients floating around in your blood and surrounding your tissues to heal while you are resting and so that's the good diet down on the bottom and lastly but not least oftentimes is ignored that sunshine is super important and you guys get this all the time in Hawaii super jealous right now because it's snowy out here but that sunshine helps with your immune system it helps with vitamin d converts the cholesterol in your skin to that and so it controls your mood it has a foundation for absorption of all sorts of different other minerals into your in your tissues so those are the six sort of simple mindsets that you can adopt and we're going to go through a couple examples of those in the next few slides but throughout the next what 15 minutes I want you to be thinking about where do I stand in each of those pillars which one of those can I make a promise to myself that I'm not going to be stuck in the same spot that I am at the beginning of 2021 I'm going to level up on each one of those and where do I start well so I'm ahead of you because as you were talking I took all my notes down okay and I wanted to see where I stood and I didn't even know you're going to ask me that but you know I'm just that kind of a person but out of the six I know I get lots of pressure I got lots of movement um hydration that's why I carry my hydro flask I make sure I drink enough I'm going to skip one I go to good diet I'm since retired I'm on a plant strong diet and I've worked on it and that's why I start my day off with kale smoothies and you know I get lots of sunshine I surf as often as I can I'm in that good beautiful pacific ocean with the sun on my back with the ocean the salt water on my in my feet and along with the walking on the sand without slippers or shoes on the rest part okay so that's one thing I had to work on and I'm going to say mahalo to COVID but because of COVID I have now time to rest more and so everyone always says when you need to sleep more and so I usually average about four hours of sleep a day and everyone says that's not enough so I can honestly say that now I get about five almost sometimes six but on a good day I get five and going on six so I'm excited about that and that's one thing I will say mahalo to being stuck at home is because I turned the lights off a little bit more earlier now so are you proud of me Henry? I'm glad that you had written all those down and you're right sleeping is one of those one of those areas that I get to improve on too but yeah I'm proud of you for at least getting five to six yeah well I'm gonna have it right now because I'm getting there with sleep and so it's in all due time I'm not happy about sleeping so much but I know I need it and it's a good time for me to do it so let's work on it and start the year off right right Henry? Right absolutely. Alrighty so I gotta ask you how does working alongside a cardiologist and adentes help shift the mindset of your patients from sick care and treating disease to a mindset of self-care and preventing it before it happens? Right so our cardiologist that we work on site with is Dr. Eric Goulder he spent 30 years of his career working in sick care is what he calls it waiting for you to have a heart attack or a stroke and then try and dispatch you up and one of the revelations that he had along with his now wife our dentist Dr. McClatchy so it literally is a marriage between medicine and dentistry a little play on words there but they follow something called the bail donating method which is not just looking at the aftermath of disease but getting down to the root cause and what you see on here is something called the root cause tree of arterial disease and it doesn't just refer to arterial disease it's really the root cause of a bunch of series of chronic diseases you can if you can see some of those I know it's kind of small to read but periodontal disease is highlighted endodontal and in lifestyle your sleep apnea some of those are the dental side the other ones refer to genetic testing we can actually go through and we have certain innovative pieces of technology that are state of the art some of them you can only find like one of these systems in an entire state I think in the state of Ohio here there's several things that we have at the center that you can't find anywhere else but we get to the root cause of inflammation that's the key Wendy inflammation is the stem of all chronic disease and when you get that under control right then you can start combating all the oxidative stress that leads to Alzheimer's and dementia and kidney disease rheumatoid arthritis diabetes the list goes on and on I totally come into agreement with that wow okay so what before we go further we have a question from the audience and he wants to know some of these six doctors seem to be beyond the capability of us as individuals we rely on our government to help make sure we get clean clean air and clean water for example what do we need most from government to help us as a healthy society hmm so one of the things before I dive into specifically answering to each of those six pillars right is really it comes from a mind shift at mind shift inside because if we look at ourselves as a result of our environment we are allowing ourselves to be controlled by the limitations that for instance in this question our government is placing on us but there's always alternatives out there so shifting the mindset into what are the possibilities that we have not yet seen based on our limited perspective and experience Wendy you had mentioned before for instance let's say nutrition there's a lot of issues around nutrition that we're dealing with today with the global warming or climate change or whatever you want to call it desertification our food has to travel thousands of miles before it gets to our plate through through transportation redistribution on the shelves on the grocery store and then sits on your counter not only that is we have all sorts of different genetic modification happening it's not regulated there's pesticides and herbicides that are just abusing all of our lands we're over farming and so yes nutrition is super important and there's again some decisions that we have to make we come to a crossroads do we resort to isolated mega doses of vitamins and in some cases that might help if I have a deficiency in vitamin D for instance that's helpful or do we find alternatives in order to bridge the gap of our nutritional needs from actual fruits and vegetables and so one of the things that there's a company called juice plus that has figured out how to dehydrate food at its prime peakedness of ripeness and so it locks in that nutrition and then they can transport that so it doesn't start decaying over time and package it into these capsules so it can deliver a super powerful concentrated punch of real fruits and vegetables that hasn't decayed over thousands of miles has not been abused with all sorts of pesticides and herbicides and really it gets rid of the need for the volume of water because it's dehydrated and the problem with all the sugar that's involved in having all these fruits and vegetables and that's particularly important for our like pre-diabetic patients, diabetic patients or really just anyone in life so that's just one example of one simple answer to that question would be probably what can we do or what can the government do it's basically education it's educating us on what our alternatives or options are out there and putting it and in us doing our own personal research as Henry has done as I have done and I mean I'm a titta chick from my and I had to learn everything from scratch and I understand now 17 years into studying this lifestyle that I am the one that can control it and the government you know they're going to do what they're doing and we can't do a whole lot about what their decisions are except we can govern what we want for our bodies and I think that's the most important thing is personal accountability and not wait for somebody else to tell us to do this or that we have to research it in ourselves so we we need to move on and otherwise we could spend the whole time on that in great questions so mahalo for that question so Henry what are some of the innovative ways you measure a person's health and help them prevent diseases before it occurs so we have a number of innovative tools and one of those is called a c i m t it's a crotted artery intima media thickness where we literally take an ultrasound to your arteries in your neck both left and right and we can measure the thickness which indicates how much soft plaque is actually in your arteries so we give you an arterial age and so you might be 35 years old but you have arteries of a 45 year old person so we measure that first in order to get a baseline and then we can give you some simple lifestyle changes to adopt in your daily habits very good wow so what are some simple tools that you can equip your patients to take that control of their own health sure so we have a number of different products we have a number of different charts and tracking and accountability but i think this picture shows a a very good concept to keep in mind when we're choosing those alternatives you know what if that syringe on the left didn't contain like morphine right if i have a headache or something like that or i'm recovering from a surgery what if it actually contained real phytonutrients to get to the root cause of that inflammation again right and so we equip them with tools like we mentioned before that juice plus we have stela life it's a homeopathic plant-based healing kind of ointment it's you can ingest it too we've got a number of things like perioprotech gel that not only whitens your teeth but kills the bacteria in your mouth that leaches into your blood and causes heart attacks and strokes and and diabetes and all that stuff and so really we look at what are some what are some ways that we can empower you with food primarily and simple exercises that fit into your lifestyle in order to reduce your chances of that disease starting rather than waiting for it to occur and then having to backtrack wow so i guess what we put in our body matters a whole lot and like i said i changed my lifestyle to a plant-based lifestyle and so that has helped me a lot so what results have you seen when people like myself adopt a plant-based lifestyle henry yeah so this is uh next graphic actually shows um not a full comprehensive but a pretty good list of some results that you see you see that the the tissues start healing faster because of the nutrients are already surrounding them in the blood and the tissues you have this durability that you've never experienced before the recovery time starts shortening inflammation starts going down systemically you see every system in the body start synergizing because when you are going to homeopathic plant-based fruits and vegetable grains and berries nutrition then it's not combating a single symptom it is addressing every body system in the entire organism wow so you know henry um when i everyone says when you turn 40 years old life changes your you know your arm grows too short you got to get glasses all that so so when i was 43 years old what i did was i prayed i prayed and i asked god to help me because i need to get my health in under uh under control and start living healthier so at 43 i made that request of him so i i was obedient and i listened and so that's when i went plant strong from that time and now i'm 61 years old and i've been 17 years on this lifestyle but how would you recommend our viewers to start taking their health back well wendy it starts with making sure you know and you acknowledge and notice where you are today and so these are those six pillars or those six best doctors right and so be honest with yourself in evaluating do i eat real food do i exercise on a regular basis do i get enough sunlight sometimes if the answer to that um you'll is a default to know unless you're intentional about stepping outside for a little bit even here in Ohio because it's dreary and snowing cold so coming with the baseline being honest with yourself measuring that first getting accountability and being consistent with that all right we have a quick question from the audience and i think i can answer this one and you can correct me if i'm wrong they want to know how much water should a person have a daily intake what and what i learned henry was um basically you take your weight and you divided by two so if i were a hundred pounds divided by two that means i should have 50 ounces of water or more and that's the baseline is that accurate enough yes okay we gotta move right on because we have like a just under a minute left so if our viewers viewers want to learn more about how to prevent heart attacks and strokes to learn more about other ways to optimizing their immune systems or simply look good feel great how did they get in touch with you henry yeah sure um you can see my email address is at the top in the center there um and my phone number is on the top right um and i can certainly and put you in touch with um our heart attack and stroke prevention center our complete health dentistry um our juice plus company um there's the list goes on any of those uh different homeopathic products that i mentioned um we can put those in your hands and if you are looking for a local complete dentist and we can find one for you and connect you with that resource wow very good you're a wealth of knowledge henry and that's why i wanted you on this show the time is up for now and i just want to say mahalo and sending you love and sunshine over there in ohio and we welcome you back to hawaii at any time so mahalo mahalo mahalo henry aloha mahalo thank you wendy


Maybe this driver will split opinion, but one thing's for sure, every one of you is going to want to try it. You see there'll be three questions asked in this video, the first one being do I love or hate the new stealth driver? The second one is what do you think of the new stealth driver? And the third and final question is whether or not you will try the new stealth driver? And I reckon I know the answer to all three. I reckon we start this video off with a quick look at what Taylor made claim to be a game changer in terms of driver technology. I'll let you decide on that one, but here's the tech that's attached into the stealth. Now the first thing you're going to want to do when you see this driver in the pro shop is touch that face because for whatever reason there's a texture to it, there are many indentations within that face that you've never seen before. Apart from the fact that it's red and apart from the fact it's made from carbon, it looks very different from the front. You're going to want to run your thumb across there and feel those grooves, find out what is quite so different about that stealth face. The second thing you're going to do is you're going to question how does a carbon face sound. And if you tried the only other driver I can recall in the last 20 years that attempted a carbon face, which is the CT4 from Callaway, you're going to need some persuading, but the overriding emotion when you see this driver for the first time is quite simple. You're going to want to try it. Already he'll hopefully be picking up some of the sound and we'll talk about it later in terms of what I think about it, but already Taylor made marketing have done something really clever and they've got that driver in your hands. You're even questioning performance yet, you just want to try it.  That's really intelligent marketing because like I said, at this stage we're not even questioning the performance of this driver. And if I'm honest with you, I know everything should be judged on performance, but I really do think that this driver will sell incredible amounts this year alone, just on the basis of how it looks, how it's marketed, who's got it in the bag. And I know that happens every year, but this year this is something just that little bit different. OK, so my comment relating to performance may be a little bit of tongue-in-cheek there, but you understand what I mean. This driver is so, so different in terms of its looks, in terms of that carbon face. There are going to be contributing factors that make you want to try and ultimately buy this driver. But let's dive into performance. I ate a lot of balls both with this and with Sim 2 with both the same shaft in. And whilst there weren't massive gains, there were gains in terms of ball speed, but as you well know, when I expected to see massive gains in terms of driver technology, we're at the limit. But there was one indisputable gain that caught me a little by surprise, and that was dispersion. Now dispersion in terms of this versus the Sim 2 was extremely good and real tight packing in terms of where my driver landed, both with the stealth that is. But I've also done a number of head-to-heads in recent weeks, and it's performing consistently well in terms of dispersion. And that really interests me.  And the claim is that it reduces spin in wet and dry conditions, optimises performance if you like, and stabilises those numbers. Now I don't know what that reduction in spin has done in terms of impacting on dispersion, but something played a part. And having seen it over a number of videos, I tend to think this is doing really well in terms of dispersion. So that's a real, real positive for me. And I've got a feeling you might find exactly the same when you finally get to try this driver out yourself. But I said at the start of this video, there were three questions. You've got my opinion to a degree, but I'm going to go back to the beginning and I'm going to ask you those questions. I've just spent a little bit more time just analysing data, but more importantly, having a look at something called impact location and what Trackman does really well is can identify where on the clubface he actually struck the ball. And that can be a really telling sign, particularly when a club is claiming to be ultra-forgiving, very much across the clubface. I certainly claim to test that theory. And although of it the ball fairly well here this morning out in the middle, what I'm going to show you now is I think we've got three, maybe four clips of where the ball certainly wasn't struck out in the middle, some low on the face that were really impressive. And if you just have a quick look at strike location and then have a look at kind of ball speeds, carry distances and the launch, because ultimately from where I have hit those three balls, they shouldn't perform in my opinion as well as they have done unless we are getting some kind of performance across that clubface, which then suggests we are getting a bit of forgiveness. And for me, if you're an average golfer, you're certainly going to find plenty of that clubface. So that's a major, major positive. I'm really glad I took a little bit of time to just have a look at that. And it gives it a bit more of a positive edge to the whole review, to be honest with you, because like I said, me hitting across that clubface, fine in the middle. It's not that often. Now at the beginning of the video, I maybe arrogantly suggested that the three questions, I knew the answer to all three and maybe I don't know the answers, but what I do think is that you will have a similar reaction when trying this driver to me. I think everybody will. The first thing you're going to do, you're going to want to hit it. You'll hit those balls. And the first thing you'll comment on is how different it sounds in terms of nothing like what you expected. In fact, it sounds really, really good. The second thing you'll do is look down at the crown and be really drawn to that red face. But you've got a classic looking crown, first of all. They've stripped that one back. It's a matte black with a gloss front to it. And then you've got this, well, far from being classic red face. But what that red face against the black does really well is it frames the ball incredibly well. It aligns the ball really well. And not think that I was expecting to do with the fact that it's a red face. I really thought it would be perhaps even off-putting, but it's not. It's a complete opposite. You'll then continue to hit more balls. You'll be impressed with performance. But you'll also continue to comment on how it sounds so good and how it sounded like, well, nothing like what you expected. Based on performance, it might be similar to what you're currently getting, maybe a bit better. And hopefully you've seen dispersion tighten up a little bit like I have done. And then it's ultimately down to whether or not you want to part with your money for a red face driver. Those drivers come in four different options. There's the HD, which I think stands for high draw. You certainly draw bias. You've then got the stealth model, which is the standard unadjustable model. And you've got the stealth plus, which has got the return of the sliding weight and that full adjustability. And there's also a ladies version available in a different colorway altogether. The driver of the stealth plus is 499. So it's certainly right up there at the top end. The stealth standard model is in a 469. And then you've got the option as well. If you're offended by red, then you can look at really making a bespoke version as you can see and put all different types of different colorways in there to make it very much a bespoke product and make it one that suits your eye. But either way, my summary is this. The first driver I've tested in many years where I've been so, so keen and eager to hit it just based on the information that I was given, the snippets that I've seen, that little look in Tiger Woods bag that he added in there. All these things drew me to this club in the same way as I think they're going to draw you to it as well. Like I said at the beginning, whether or not you decide to buy it, whether or not you buy into marketing claims, you can't dispute the fact that this is really interesting. It's a real innovative change. Whether it's groundbreaking just yet in terms of performance, you can tell me the answer to that in the coming weeks when you get to try it. But I think it'll be interesting to see how Taylor made developed this in the years to come. And will this be, well will carbon would be the new era that continues for the next 20, 30 years before another development arises? It could well be the case. Right, I hope you enjoyed that one. I enjoyed it in this club. Like I said, really interest me. Thank you for watching. Comments down below. Let me know what you think. Are you buying into this? Or are you still that marketing skeptic and won't go near it? Either way, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for watching. I'll see you all soon.


Καλή σας μήνες και μήνες δεύτερο από έναν καρδίδιο βίντεο. Σήμερα είμαι πολύ εύκολα να join έναν υγεία ολτινόιμο βίντεο ΕΛΟΠ. Ευχαριστώ και εγώ να σας πείτε και να παίρνω τα εύκολα σκόλοι εδώ στην YouTube. Ο Άλτινου θα πάρει 8 παιδίες και αυτός θα τα φτιάξει 25 US και μία τελείωση. Άνστε να παίρνω με τα καρδίδια 2 εύκολα και θα σας δείξω ένα τεκνίδιο όχι που μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις housed within a flower stamp set that you have to make it puffy and three-dimensional. So I'm going to start by stamping the outline of the tulips. And I need to have the flowers a second time So I'm going to bring in another piece of paper And stamp the tulips there as well. I don't care on this piece of paper about the stems or the leaves All I need to make sure is that I have three extra flowers. Once you stamp your flowers, then you can your favorite medium however i'm going with the layering stamps here so just because it is quick and early effective i am going to use a color combination which is one of my favorites from the ink sets by Altenew these are the cherry blossoms and i'm starting with the first layer and the ink i used is pink diamond now i do have a second paper where i need to color in the two lips so i'm going to do every step twice this is the second layer and i'm using pinkalicious ink these are only three layers for the two lips and they are really easy to align for the third and last layer i'm using rubelite which is going to add a touch of dark shade at the bottom and then i need three shades of green for the stems and leaves for that i'm using the green ones from the spring bouquet ink set so the first color is lime made then i'm moving on to lime and finally the darker shade of green is fresh leaf in any case i'm going to link everything i'm using down below in the description area just like always now remember i was doing everything twice so i have two sets of two lips i'm using the matching dye to cut it out and then once i have the second two lips ready i'm going to separate them for the stems i don't need those after all and i'm going to cut out with my scissors the petals that are at the front i'm just showing you which ones i'm going for this way i will be able to pop them on top of the other two lips and make them dimensional it's a fun technique that i do a lot when i want to add more dimension on another wise flat image and it really makes a difference at the finished card it takes it into a next level and you can do this technique with pretty much any flower design that you have at your stash and since this video is part of a video hope where we are about 10 or 11 people participating i'm keeping this video quite small and sweet to have enough time to hope along with us watch all the videos and leave comments in every stop for a chance to win prizes so here i have all the petals the extra petals that i need for fluffing up my flowers and now i'm going to do some scalping for that i'm using a kit that i have with those bold tools but if you don't have such a thing you can always work on a mouse pad with the back of a marker the idea is to give some dimension on the petals working at the back and then you can add a couple of foam tapes there to keep them dimensional and then stick them in place by using the bold tool you actually break the fibers off the paper and the petals really turn dimensional you can find this type of scalping sets in the market from different companies and i'm going to link down below a couple of these sets if you want to add them in your stash so here is a lovely focal point with those puffy tulips and by having that careful on the petals it hides the foam tape underneath now since i have those tools out i'm going to puff up the leaves as well so that when i stick them down they are going to have pretty much the same effect as the flowers time to put together my card for that i have two panels one white with that love those lovely dots all around and another one which is off white i did use these dies to cut them out these are becoming my favorite ties for creating panels and backgrounds for a card and i keep on using them again and again now i am now going to stick down my focal point and for that i'm going to glue so this is going to lay directly flat on top of my panel however i do have dimension there since i have puffy flowers and puffy leaves plus the off white panel is stuck on top of the white panel with foam tape at the back so i do have enough dimension which is something that i absolutely love on my cards hopefully you can see the dimension it's absolutely beautiful in real life now for the sentiment i went with the word thanks this comes from the floral thanks stamp set and there is a big stamp that stamps the word thanks but there is also an available tie that cuts out the outline so i'm going to add some foam tape at the back and stick it there and i'm going to finish off the card by adding some gems just because i love some sparkle on any card so that was the card for today i hope that you had fun and that you got inspired check down in the description area for the next stop on the video hop thank you all so much for joining me today and i'll see you all next time


Very good morning to all of you today. We are into the second day of last session This morning again, dr. Varonik will guide us for the meditation And then we'll go into the next stage. Thank you. Thank you, doctor Good morning For everybody here and people attending online We will meditate together again today, but before that I would like to introduce the third aspect of the Technique the daily practice that we have in mindfulness so together we've seen the morning meditation and The evening cleaning Morning meditation Early morning ideally before dawn but do it whenever you want and In a simple seated position so that you're comfortable and you can forget your body and that's what we're going to do again today together if you feel like doing a few you know movement or Pranayama exercise just to wake you up and feel alert. This is also completely okay But that's really the first thing you do in the morning so morning meditation Sets the mood for the day and the idea is that during the day This mood that you set up is also going to be there in the back in the canvas of your activities So once you've meditated in the morning really at the end and today I will ask you to do that take the time to Feel and to absorb how you feel at the end of your meditation So that during the day you can try to remember it One of the Lady who was here yesterday was asking me. How do I keep that during the day? so if you pay Few minutes of attention at the end of your meditation you have more chance to be able to remember during the day So that's a good place to start them in the morning and then in the evening. So once you are Whole day has gone and we heard daji also talking about it Whatever happens during the day and we don't have to remember Anything in particular But at the end of the day You might feel that your energy is a little bit disturbed that you feel a little bit tired even physically and mentally The best is to take the time to sit and do this cleaning process. You remember So from the back and I use my willpower. It's not a meditation. I don't relax and you know Let things happen. I really Work I'm present and I'm pushing things out Anything that has impacted me without any judgment or color Whatever has created an impact and I don't want that impact to be there because I want to be able to Approach anything during the day with a very clear Non-judgmental attitude So for that I try to remove anything that could have colored my judgment If you are a little familiar with the yoga sutras, there's this idea of veil covering our consciousness so when we When we actually go into the day we create new layers With whatever, you know encounters we've had experiences we have had make sure with this is cleaned It is good to do your cleaning as early as possible in the evening so that your entire evening is also You know benefits from that state of much more you will feel refreshed You will feel even if you have for students for example or for people who have to work in the evening your mind will also feel fresher and Spending time with your family will also be on a different note So it's nice to do it early if possible Also, your willpower will be better than if you do it at night, but If you don't find the time to do it early, it's okay.  No problem But do it because it goes together The evening Practice also prepares you for the next day morning as we saw Because when I close my eyes I'm the witness to the thoughts That are there in my mind and if I want my Mind to kind of slow down doing the cleaning also prepares for that So your morning meditation actually starts with your evening cleaning and the last thing that we do is so the Introduction for today is called a prayer meditation And it is called a prayer not really in the religious sense Like for example, I used to think prayer is but it's really about the attitude this prayer is Something that a moment where you take to recollect yourself just before you go to sleep It's the last thing you do in your day Where you remind yourself about Why you're meditating the goal of this entire practice and Recognize that you you know of why this prayer is important is like The boat, okay, so you have a boat that's going on the water And if you don't have something that gives direction, you don't know where you're going to go so to remind yourself or Why are you doing it every day and shows the dynamic of your practice? So I'm not doing meditation just to be here and now I'm doing it with a purpose of evolution Evolution to a better version of myself and in that way I recognize my limitations So the prayer goes like this.  This is the theme of today. So how do I go into a? Different state of myself We are yet, but slaves of wishes That's my limitations. I'm tied up with things that are my attachments whatever So it's called as wishes which is extremely subtle so it can be things. I'm not aware of at all and the last line says You are the only God and power to bring me up to that stage So asking with a lot of humility for help and Humility is definitely one of the qualities that stands out in a path like yogic path where Humility needs to be developed and I think it's also one of the 12 qualities and You will hear This word coming again and again So I do this practice in the evening and it's for me in my experience is really a practice of humility I Do my meditation in the morning I do my cleaning in the evening I'm quite active in the evening, but at night. I just say like This is me. I have my limitations Before I go to bed. I remind myself that I do have the possibility to go higher to evolve and There is something that is carrying me and I Go to sleep in that feeling So this is where I was telling you yesterday that this is a practice that also allows your night To be your hours of the night to be used in a different way So I don't know if some of you are familiar with yoga nidra. So this technique that was developed by The behal school of yoga, which is very well known in yoga It's a state where your mind is Not conscious really but touching the subconscious and In that state of mind, there's you know a possibility for release of Things that keeps us attached When we do this practice of prayer in the evening Because we meditate on it for a few minutes Our mind also and that shows on the waves of the brain they enter into a state of yoga nidra So meditating for 10 minutes with that attitude just before you go to sleep Prepares you for a sleep that is much more efficient than if you just you know go to bed So it's a eyelids forehead temples Top of the head till the back of your head Feel how now your body is completely relaxed from the top of the head till the toes Bring your attention to the heart and with a lot of humility and gratitude Offer your prayer you can repeat mentally those lines or master You are the real goal of human life We are yet, but slaves of wishes Putting bar to our advancement You are the only God in power to bring me up to that stage Keep your attention on the heart with a thought that There is a source of divine light in your heart Attracting you within and just relax there in the joy and the love of the heart Until you hear that soul keep your eyes closed and take the time to Look at the state you're in your condition right now. What you feel try to absorb it make it More prominent And liven it and let your entire system and vibe this condition Make it yours Become one with it and let everything around you unite In this moment Once you feel this condition has become yours Still with your eyes closed You can visualize your next step After this meditation is over you're going to get up maybe go for your breakfast Go with your day Allow this condition to be there Extend it Into the day ahead So that it becomes the canvas of all your activities and when you feel ready You can open your eyes So how how is today's experience? How did you feel and the most important thing? How do you feel right now? You know the result of your meditation is important if you have a any question? Can take a few minutes to answer Clarification we like to ask any question or want to yes.  Yes, it also helps to You know we talk a lot of self-compassion all this you know in that instant when you do this there's really that acceptance Okay, this is me and That's okay, and but I'm doing something to better myself So with a small practice and Really try it. It's Been quite a discovery for me this third part. So I hope you enjoyed The weekend. I'm happy that we had a few people who discovered What is hardfulness? It's a simple technique that Doesn't ask much of time in my Experience and when you're very very busy actually when you know your week is going to be very busy To give priority to this simple practice kinds of sorts You know how you're going to deal with everything so you give priority better your focus definitely Practice of meditation increases your focus But I like that What is not important kinds of falls off and you're much more? Determined into what you want to do so So when you know I was thinking if I'm very busy how can I give time for meditation? Actually when you're very busy give time for meditation and that's a statement by Gandhi But it's it's an experience If you're busy take the time for what is important the rest will definitely fall in place. So I think we'll end sessions of Hardfulness introduction to hardfulness and well you can find all this Guided audios on the website hardfulness.org So and being touch the meditation trainers all over India And all over the world. So you can be in touch also so that you can continue and be supported Thank you so much Veronica and absolutely Indeed this prayer will help all of us, you know in our journey in fact mother has also written of prayers and Which has been published in a book form which is called prayers and meditation Thank you.

Welcome to DEF CON. All right. Can you guys believe what the hackers have been coming to the desert for 25 times now? Give yourselves round of applause for coming to the desert. 25 years. So I believe we're making history here. This is the first time sitting. Congressmen have been to officially, in an official capacity, as speakers at the largest hacker conference in the world. So that to me looks like some progress. We're going to do some introductions in a minute. First things first. We're going to do a little framing to explain why we were able to get these two distinguished public servants to our conference. So we've been coming here 25 years and we are not necessarily a single tribe. And a lot of the outside world thinks a hacker equals a criminal. And I think over the last few years we've been turned in that tide. And now they understand there's hacking is just a form of power. It's like magic. And we can use it for good, for ill, for any number of purposes. And one of the ways we've been trying to turn that tide is explaining why we do what we do. And we all have different motives. Not everybody in here is the same. But, you know, alliteration works. Short lists work. So we have these five P's. We basically say some people are protectors. They want to get stuff fixed. They want to make the world a safer place. Some people are puzzlers. Most of us got into this in the first place. We want to tinker. We want to take it apart. We want to put it back together. We're curious. Curiosity is our original motivation. Some of us do this because we want to win the white jacket or we want to be famous. We do it for prestige or for pride. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's allowing us to achieve great things. Some of us do this for profit or personal or professional gain. And we make a career out of it. And some of us do this for a protest. Or against some ideological cause that we care deeply about, ideally, within the bounds of the laws. So whether you're motivated by being a protector, a puzzler, a prestige, profit, or a protest, we're complicated individuals. But there's a reason you got into this in the first place. And there's a reason you stay in it. So for my part, I want to make the world a safer place. So I'm first and foremost a protector.  But you know, I also like hard problems, so I'm a bit of a puzzler as well. And we're going to ask these congressmen when during their intros, why did you get into public service in the first place? What's your motivation? Now, in the spirit of that, four years ago here at DEF CON, we launched Die in the Cavalry. This was the idea that could we be a voice of a reason, an ambassador, a translator? Should we bring DEF CON to D.C.? Should we try to be a voice of translating the things that we care about, specifically wherever there's issues of public safety in human life? The idea is could we shift from being a pointing finger at past failure to a helping hand towards future success? Could we stop celebrating failure and what's wrong with something? Could we look for what's right with something? And through that, we focused more on empathy and communication than we did on breaking things. And because of that, we've slowly, slowly made ourselves accessible to the public. And whether you guys knew this or not, over the last two years, there are 18 parts of the U.S. government who enthusiastically support and encourage the use of coordinated vulnerability disclosure. So not only is what you're doing not criminalized in all cases and we're slowly turning the tide on that with things like the digital money and Copyright Act exemptions, but they also see us as a vital resource in a teammate, if done right. So I think we're turning the tide and this is something I think that's worth a little bit of cheers for yourselves and for others. Now there's a long way to go. Last year was pretty hot for first-of-the-kind policy engagement on cyber security issues. Yes, I said cyber, but A, I did my friggin' shot. And B, this is the language they speak on the Hill and if we want to be effective when you're in front of them, you speak French, right? So we have to harmonize the way we speak about things. But in a legislative and executive branch alone we saw the Food and Drug Administration really tighten up things like medical advice, cyber safety. We saw the department of transportation do this. We saw commerce encourage disclosure and patching best practices. DHS, White House. And Congress themselves also asked almost presciently, they said we're concerned about cyber security risks in our healthcare, which is a sixth of our economy. So while we were all talking about information sharing in the CISA Act of 2015, they also asked for a one-year congressional task force. And in that, they wanted a diverse number of stakeholders to say how risky is connected medicine. And on June of this year, we published this. They actually made sure they wanted a voice of hackers. So I am the cavalry on a lot of the hacker community. You got to participate in this one-year long task force. We're going to say some stuff that's a little scary so we can ground this group and why we're having them here today. So of the many things we found, the punchline was that healthcare is in critical condition. And whether you can read this graphic or not, the five things on the front page of this report are essentially about 85% of our U.S. health delivery organizations lack a single qualified security person on staff. That should scare everybody. We're not a U.S. only problem. We talk with our international partners. Number two, we tend to be defending legacy XP or older in the clinical environment. So these things are well past their end of life and they're no longer supported. Number three, they tend to be over-connected to each other and reachable by the outside world. Which means that a single flaw and a single device can take out entire hospitals you saw with Hollywood Presbyterian last February. And moreover, the average device has over 1,000 known vulnerabilities. So put those together. Most of our hospitals lack a single one of you.  They're over-connected to each other and reachable by the outside world. A single flaw and a single device took out patient care at Hollywood Presbyterian hospital and the average device may give us 1,000 chances to do it. We've done amazing things over the last 25 years, but we need more of you to help us solve these wicked problems. In the sense of urgency as we were publishing this report back to Congress, WannaCry took out 65 hospitals in a single day in the UK. That was 20% of their national capacity. You know people died from degraded and delayed patient care. So I want to call out to the best of you as we reach out to the best of them. And in the spirit of that, I think we've proven the model can work over the last four years bringing DEFCON back to DC. In fact, some of us have actually quit our day jobs and moved into think tanks like the Atlantic Council and whatnot. And now we've brought part of DC here to DEFCON in a way that hasn't been done before and I am honored and humbled that we have two sitting members of our democratic process here. So please, I'll introduce them in a moment, but let's give it a huge round of applause for these two pioneers. We're gonna try to keep an eye on the hashtag and what not. DC to DEFCON First, Representative Jim Langevin he will give his own intro but I was really excited to work with him as the chair and founder, co-chair of the Cyber Caucus in the House of Representatives. And also Representative Herd of Texas who also a very strong and leading and informed voice on cybersecurity issues and I'll let them tell their origin stories, but please gentlemen weave in which of the motivations do you carry to public service? So, you first Representative Langevin. All right, well thank you very much Josh for the introduction, for the invitation to join you today and I want to thank both you and DEFCON and we also recognize BO and the Atlantic Council for everything you did to make our visit here possible and let me just say to the security researchers community thank you all for what you do and I know that collaboratively together we're gonna make a difference in this field and we're gonna make the internet much more secure than it is today and we're gonna do it together so I thank you for that I know it's a challenging environment for sure, a dynamic one but I find it really an amazing topic to work on I am thrilled to be here with my colleague Will Hurd, Will and I serve on the Homeland Security Committee together and let it be recognized here that I can tell you bipartisanship is not dead on the hill there are pockets of it that still exist and guys like Will and I hopefully are helping to set an example and helping to raise the bar so that you can show that by working together that's how we truly get things done so it's great to be here with my colleague so you can clap for that so just brief you a little bit about myself so I am congressman from the second district in Rhode Island I'm in my ninth term in congress and I sit on both the senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and a founding member and senior member of the Homeland Security Committee and all of that work I specialize in cybersecurity and the ranking member on the emerging threats and capability subcommittee on Armed Services and we have primary jurisdiction over NSA and U.S. Cyber Command and on the Homeland Security Committee I sit on the subcommittee on cybersecurity and infrastructure protection but I have to tell you I kind of fell into this world of being involved in cybersecurity when I was the chairman of the subcommittee on emerging threats cybersecurity and science and technology and originally I thought we were going to be focusing mainly on the emerging threats part of the responsibility which is to look at all the the most serious threats to the face of the country such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats to America and our allies and then one day my staff director came in to me on the subcommittee and said boss you've got to get a briefing on this thing called the Aurora threat found discovered by two researchers at Idaho National Labs where they found a vulnerability into a critical infrastructure through a skater attack and hence everyone now knows that as the Aurora threat but I was riveted by the video that showed how a generator operating normally all of a sudden because of a malicious code that was remotely inserted caused this generator to spin up out of control and then basically shake itself apart and that was just a small example of what could happen to to our electric grid and potentially shutting down a whole portion of our country's electric grid if very successful widespread skater attack wherever to be carried out so that is how my interest in cyber began and just to close out from there we were asked Mike McCall and I my co-founder and co-chair of the cybersecurity caucus Mike now chairs the full Homeland Security Committee but he's been a great again bipartisan partner in this effort to enhance our cybersecurity he and I were asked to be co-chairs of a national commission the CSIS commission on cybersecurity for the 44th presidency which became the foundational document for President Obama as he charted the nation's cybersecurity blueprint and plan going forward and then we also you know co-founded the cybersecurity caucus and when we originally started this field I have to tell you we got a lot of funny looks Mike and I we felt like kind of lone voices in the wilderness and people did not understand what we were so worked up about they get it now times have certainly changed but we still have a lot of work to do clearly the way the awareness has been raised but now we've got to continue to work together to close the vulnerabilities so that is just briefly probably went on too long sorry but that's my introduction to the cybersecurity challenges the nation faces and we've continued work in progress but I've been really gratified to know that there are people like you in the security research community who are doing important work discovering vulnerabilities and I'm hoping that we continue to forge stronger partnerships to help to do something about it when we find those vulnerabilities and as I said I know that we're going to be able to do this together Will's been a great partner in this effort and I'm pleased to again share the stage with him but I want to thank you for your invitation and it's not going to be with you today, thank you Which P are you Jim? Put the list back up I'm the one that fixes things It's definitely not prestige right? Yeah When you have a 9% job approval rating That's not prestige Anyways Not us individually back home obviously but as a body as a body Am I too far away from this? How do we get that echo out? Anyone? Pull it back This way Again Thanks for having us here This is my second time to DEF CON and I always take a lot away from the interactions that we have especially on the sidelines of many of these events and I appreciate the Atlantic Council for making this happen and getting us I'm out here to Las Vegas Let me see a show of hands if this is your first DEF CON Wow A lot of noobs How many has been here over 5 years? Over 10 We got any of the originals? No, no originals What, DT ain't here? DT didn't want to come They're all in duty You just came here because you drank too much Last night you need someone cold to hang out? Anyone? Okay, I appreciate that I appreciate the honesty I'm from San Antonio, born and raised A lot of San There you go When I was in high school I had the opportunity to take an internship at the Southwest Research Institute I had a female engineer that exposed me Female engineers exposed me to robotics and is the reason that I first got interested in computer science and I studied it at Texas A&M and yeah, whoop, giga maggies it's our year, it's our year I'll watch out Alabama and so also if you need a Turbo Pascal or Fortran Programmer let me know I still know a few things and I I had the opportunity when I graduated I went into the CIA I was a case officer I did two years in Washington DC at what I used to call the Super Secret CIA training facility called The Farm now it's on Google Maps and two years in India, two years in Pakistan two years in New York City, a year and a half in Afghanistan where I managed all of our undercover operations so I was the dude in the back alleys at four o'clock in the morning collecting intelligence on threats to our homeland and I also had a brief member of Congress had I met a guy like Jim I probably would have stayed in the CIA I unfortunately had not been exposed to Jim and Mike McCall and Ted Lu from California folks that really understand the issues that they're talking about and so I was frustrated with the caliber of our elected officials and so I ran for Congress in 2010 and I lost um why does that always get a laugh? I still don't understand that um and I lost a runoff by 700 votes and it's not a lot of votes it's even worse after you've been to the grocery store for the two months afterwards when people came up to the House of Campaign and um like I lost they're like oh shucks we forgot to to vote you know I literally ran into 740 people uh like that um but it gave me an opportunity to work for a company called Crumpton Group boutique consulting firm and I helped Matt DeVoe with and build Fusion X and so if you don't like anything that I do see Matt DeVoe um he everything I've learned in this about this industry I've learned from I've learned from DeVoe he's been a good friend and so understanding penetration testing technical vulnerability assessment things like that understanding the talent that's outside of the government um understanding the threat that individuals and companies are faced it was a great experience and to be able to leverage that when I got in Congress and so 14 I ran again um nobody everybody thought I was crazy uh nobody thought the black dude would win in a Hispanic district I represent a 71% Hispanic district and it's been an opportunity to work on issues like cyber security and that means in Washington DC it actually means information sharing um we should have passed the Cyber Security Act of 2015 10 years ago um but we finally we finally got something done um we look focused on privacy and you know I said yes I don't know which crypto war we're on right now um but we should be strengthening encryption not weakening it um our civil liberties are not burdens they are the things that make our country great and we we can chase bad guys we can defend our digital infrastructure and we can protect our civil liberties all at the same time it's hard and one of the things that I have to that that Jim and I have to do when we educate our colleagues is to let them know that um guess what we really know such thing as an impenetrable device you know come out to DEF CON if you don't believe us and so we have to get to a point where we can do security and protect privacy at the same time and this conversation is to go back and forth right this is always the topic of backdoors and encryption is always going to be out there and you're going to have to continue to fight those um fight that back and having the support of folks like y'all is really important to do that and I will say everybody knows now what OPM stands for right uh as Lindsey Graham says mucho bad you know um it's that brought a consciousness to this issue that everybody understands the importance of educating our digital infrastructure and our colleagues understand that but they don't always necessarily understand the nuance and that's why you know we try to educate that's why having y'all is important you know many of our colleagues um think that direct messaging on twitter is the dark web you know um it's like well no it's a little more complicated than that um but there is a topic and so um I always get nervous when someone says oh I'm an expert on anything let alone cybersecurity especially being in a room with folks like y'all but coming out here helps you know prevent our knowledge base from getting stale so I appreciate y'all have been everybody's been super nice to both of us I think everybody's a little worried that we might have gotten attacked or something um but it really is it really y'all have welcomed us with open arms and your willingness to help us understand the big issues and the small issues and I'm looking forward to talking more about some of those big strategy things that we have to get right before we're able to do some of the some of the small things so thank y'all. Alright your friendly reminder I put out a twitter poll it's got probably 20 minutes left maybe 10 on which topics I should prioritize amongst Marai, Botnets WannaCry, Hitting Hospitals Power Impacts or Wasanar Export Controls that may affect our ability to do our jobs internationally so please vote I'm going to keep an eye on it for one of our last questions so um yesterday we had a pretty full lineup these guys are very robust in their ability to take in information we had a lot of briefings yesterday we took them on a walking tour of many of the villages down stairs we saw what auto hacking village, lockpick village IOT, industrial controls the voting machine hacking the kids, roots hackers so um I know you're both pretty savvy on cybersecurity but what really stood out what was your biggest surprise and what kind of things might you be able to act upon when you get back to DC if you want to continue this cooperation what was I the things that I was surprised by is the voting machines and the fact that what all 24 got dismantled in less than six hours that is a huge problem we have to ensure that the American people can trust their vote tabulating process and now the machine is just one step in that process but I think the work that has been done out here is important educating the secretaries of state all across the country as well as the election administrators the people that are tasked with doing this and a lot of times you know I have a county that's the second least populated county in the United States of America 95 people in the entire county I've met 72 of them and and they don't have a cybersecurity professional to help them manage that process and so figuring out how the states and these election commissioners election administrators understand the risk and vulnerabilities is important so that was important things that we can take away I'm interested in doing a hearing on the five points the five points when it comes to connected cars it is an area that I think we have to have a little bit more conversation around because I want to ensure that we don't create overly burdensome regulatory environment around some of these issues and I think connected cars is the subsection of IOT that most members can get their heads around but it's such a broader conversation and how do we prevent I don't want the government to get in the way I want the government to be able to facilitate and to allow entrepreneurship to grow but we all know we have to bake in security let's not make the same mistakes that we've made in the creation of the internet let's not make those same mistakes when it comes to IOT and those are and learning about TLS 1.3 and y'all's opinion on that y'all's opinion on what is the future of quantum computing and how quickly is that going to get here on some kind of commercial scale and how do you defend against quantum computing these conversations are going to lead me to hold hearings on many of these topics in the subcommittee that I chair excellent, thank you so the thing that surprised me the most so when I, well you know many of you have seen me riding around and I used an I-Bot wheelchair to get around and I can pop it up on two wheels same inventor as a Segway scooter Dean came on a brilliant inventor the thing that surprised me the most is that when I went into the car hacking room of my system and started driving me around so I did wonder if it was going to happen and it actually it's a sophisticated piece of technology I don't pretend to understand all the magic but I know it has six gyroscopes that keep it balanced and I did put it down on four wheels just in case but it all he's here for four more hours by the way so I think I suppose it surprised me the most that didn't happen but it's a good thing but I have to say that I too was a surprised and though not shocked by the election voting systems and how easily those systems could be compromised and hacked I knew that they were the electronic voting systems are potentially vulnerable and certainly I've heard the reports how easy it was was an eye-opener so I was a former secretary of state as well and before that I served for six years in the Rhode Island General Assembly as a state rep and I actually chaired a special legislative commission on purchasing the voting equipment and the one thing although I love technology and I was impressed by the the DRE equipment, the touch screen I could never get past the fear the concern that what happened if everything went south and the data was lost how do you ever recreate that election or prove to verify how people voted is actually how the vote turned out and so we consequently wind up recommending to this to the legislature that when we choose to vote equipment that it should be optical scan so you can have the best of the old and the new technology but you have to have the paper ballot as the ultimate audit trail so that's what we wound up doing and I was able to to get new optical scan voting equipment of the state when I became secretary of state but to see go in the room and talk to the professors and the researchers who set up the room and who set up the the challenge and to hear how easily the systems were compromised was certainly disturbing and an eye opener and certainly gives me pause as we go back to DC now and I'm part of a task force to look at at elections and this is certainly going to be a primary topic of conversation. The other thing I'll just say and finally the one thing that really impressed me is how the hacker community wants to be proactive both identifying and closing vulnerabilities in our cyber ecosystem so I look forward to those growing those opportunities and making sure that we have a way to have a vulnerability disclosure process at each of the government agencies I think it's something that's long overdue and that's something that I hope to work with you all on. On that last point Jim and I want to add I told the story yesterday some reporter asked me are you out here to get all these hackers civically engaged and I was like what are you talking about they already are and the feedback and what shall I do for society is incredibly important and we got to make sure that we can continue to build upon that relationship so I think we want to try to come back as often as we can and we'd love to see you all up in DC as well. So I knew yesterday we had them in a small room for two hours of completely unvetted questions and exchanges it was amazing it was magical I wish we had two hours now we're at about the T-minus 15 minutes mark. Really quickly what's an example we want examples of positive and negative or effective proactive or reactive forms of engagement for the hacker community and I remember over lunch you were talking about a good example of the risk of Vasanar can you quickly explain an example of how hackers helped you do your job and preserve US interest? Sure so this is something that I tackled pretty aggressively with my team once that we became aware of the problem and again it was the research community, the tech community that came to me and made us aware of what was I'm sure done with good intentions missed the mark Vasanar trying to use a Cold War legacy agreement to prevent duals technologies from falling into the wrong hands when you try to apply that to software and to prevention of transferring intrusion control software that it missed the mark it didn't work and here you had the Department of Commerce that was charged with promulgating the rules and regulations of how it's going to work during the common period the research community really stepped up the tech community really stepped up and made robust comments and I can tell you I took those comments and these challenges and stuff that you brought to me and with 124 of my colleagues was able to organize a letter to the Obama administration to really ask them to change course of these controls that now we're making some progress and getting those controls clarified but it wouldn't have happened without the engagement of the technology community I just want to underscore never underestimate the value that you bring to the table in advising policy makers about what's going to work and what's not going to work and do to change course to close vulnerabilities there are 435 members of Congress in the House 100 members of the United States Senate we all have varied interests we all have things we say specializing and you have a small group of us myself and Will and Mike McCall Dutch Ruppersberger we have Mac Thornberry that really gets cyber and we've made it a primary focus of what we do and then you've got the next level down of members who recognize it's important but it's not maybe per se their thing but they want to know more about it they want to be up to speed on it and then you have a significant number that it's not their thing maybe it's never going to be their thing but they still need good advice and people coming forward to advise them in their staff so I just wanted to close by saying never underestimate the value that you can bring to the table in helping to educate members and staff about what the best policies are and what's going to work and what's not going to work and again never assume that we're that we know all the thousands of bills that are introduced in Congress each year it's not possible so if you hear something or you become aware of a bill or idea we know about be proactive about it and engage and I just in closing I just ask you just rhetorically how many of you have ever made an appointment with your member of Congress or their staff or written email or made a phone call I would just ask you to be proactive because you can't have an impact and we want you to be engaged thank you an important point in that story as well is that the process around this worked the feedback that commerce was getting instigated some congressional hearings that we focus and one of your own ended up going into the negotiating room in Europe to try to fix this multilateral agreement and so I think this is a great example of how the right engagement of really smart people fix a problem now we're not completely there yet because we haven't signed the new agreement but I think we're going to try to sort that out in December so it's an example of how the wheels of the process worked let's hear it for Katie Missouri because she was the one that helped Katie Mo okay I want a picture when you walk in with all these stuffy diplomats and your pink hair and make sure you get that picture next time now that wasn't a good you know Karen Elizari says that hackers are the immune system of the internet we're the so we flocked to a dangerous threat to the way we do our jobs and security in this particular case but on some of these we want to get in front of them so for our part where we it looks like the Twitter poll was a pretty tight race here the winner was concerns over our power utilities infrastructure so in the US and other countries these are designated critical infrastructure and are very very important but they're often privately owned and operated and often quite exposed it's a pretty close vote with also Mariah's effect on taking out the internet for a day these low cost low hygiene devices there's so many of them now with the internet of everything and then also the Wanakrai type possible outages where it's just too easy for these things we tend to summarize these at the Atlanta council that our over dependence on undependable things is exposing us to accidents and adversaries that could be a national security level event instead of us flocking to maybe go you know stop bad vasinar what's what are the appropriate mechanisms or most effective mechanisms for us to proactively engage with members with their staffs with committees it's a bit of a confusing and nebulous thing for us if you could give us some succinct advice of where to get started or what's worked to date for us bringing topics so that we don't wait for hospital outages so I would go back to what I touched on just a few minutes ago don't wait till something comes to your attention to start engaging with your members of commerce and staff introduce yourselves ahead of time get to know let them get to know you and develop a report open up a dialogue so that you're very established that report that trust if you will and so when something comes to your attention that is serious and needs to get their attention right away you already have a point of contact you don't have to go searching for who that person is that you just went through there is a lack of a proper strategy on how to deal with it and so let's start with let's start with doing something to industrial controls within the utility group so it was three years ago two years ago this was no longer a philosophical exercise the Russians did it in the Ukraine if you look at the UN the UN says there's certain things that are an act of war it is fooling with somebody's grid is an act of war according to the UN what was the response to the Russians when they did that nothing the sanctions that were put in and the sanctions that we just strengthened in the house this week was not because of that and so if you don't articulate what a response is going to be to a certain red line that's a form of deterrent and so what should an actual response be in that case and there's all kinds of conversations around it but there's not an accepted policy at the NSC that would ultimately drive this now folks in Congress we can be shining light on this and talk through these issues it's the homeland security committee it's the which we're on it's the oversight and government reform committee where I chair a subcommittee there it's energy and commerce and it's also science and technology but homeland and OGR are two of the ones that do the bulk of some of this of some of this work and so it's important to educate us the individual members of Congress but we also need y'all sitting down with some of the staff that populate these committees sitting down with GAO GAO is basically the inspector general of the entire government and then every department has IGs as well but these are the folks that are looking at kind of the holes in policy the holes in in tactics techniques and procedures when it comes to defending digital infrastructure so that we need to help we need to be talking about what's the strategy so then we can start talking about the tactics and how we should be responding to what and this is another problem when it comes along with disinformation the Russians are trying to erode trust in our institutions period end of story how do we deal we do not have a counter covert influence strategy and many of y'all in this room can help and have dealt and have operated in some of these communities that we could be leveraging intelligence from and talking about so we don't have a strategy there so that's something that I'm concerned with because guess what we're going to see this in 2018 and it's not just the Russians we know other nation states have tried to do this and based on what was demonstrated in the last 48 hours we got to tighten up some of these voting machines as well so all of this stuff is connected and nobody has the right answer but talking to folks that live and breathe this is important so committee staff is important the legislative director wherever y'all live you're a member of congress you should know the district director you should know the legislative director for your member those are two people that drive the policies of those offices and who on their staff is the point person that deals with the research community issues in particular and I just want to say something else just to underscore what Will had said what the Russians did was outrageous and they are going to keep doing it particularly if they're not hit hard enough if they don't get stronger of sanctions or the messages clear enough that we're not going to tolerate that kind of interference and undermining our pose of our democracy and we have to look at this holistically and say that as a nation state we have a whole suite of options that we can draw from to retaliate to make the point that we're not going to accept that kind of interference with our elections and we need to make it very clear going forward alright we're reaching the end here boy I wish we had three hours for this so as we face these challenges they're not going to slow down I think while we were here one of the victims of not petia it was Merck in the pharmaceutical industry admitted that material impact on the production of several of their drugs this is designated critical infrastructure unrestrained time remunitions got outside its intended target and affected US critical infrastructure these are the types of companies that make our pandemic vaccines and shots in case we have a national emergency so as I look across this room I see a lot of raw talent and I know in general we're loathed to regulate we're loathed to work with government we in general like the come as you are do as you please type zeitgeist I know a lot of the things we see come on the news or on the hill might have some rough edges as things get very very real and as the consequences of failure get very very high I really encourage you to see that you're outreaching a hand and trying and when they publish something or they ask a question and look for what's right in it and cultivate that we're really really good at what's wrong with something but I think we're at the stage now where we have to make that outstretched hand and go that extra mile and meet in the middle if we're going to rise to meet these challenges together so I see what we've done here maybe as a coal or a little ember a little bit of heat and light we can either snuff it out or we can foster it and grow it into a real vibrant collaboration here we have now brought DC defcon I'm trying to make it happen so we can bring more of defcon at DC perhaps we could turn this into a regular thing maybe a cyber caucus in the summer here maybe a cyber caucus in DC around schmuckon just saying but if you like this when we said four years ago the cavalry isn't coming it meant it fell to you it wasn't to be depressed it falls to you so if we see something missing in the world we got to put it there I hope this is I respect and admire every single person in this room I respect and admire our colleagues in DC this has got to be the beginning we've been amazing for 25 years who are we going to be for the next 25 thank you
