Welcome to Jalassette News, the guitar stories and crypto currency in Jalassette and break them down into bite-sized pieces today, there is so much going on we just got to get into it. So first up, FOMO and Fed Chair Powell's comments push Bitcoin price closer to all-time high. And this has been a pretty amazing 24 hours and what he said, what Jerome Powell said yesterday is just par for the course and it's going to push us even higher. On top of Bitcoin blowing up, also the Ethereum price surges as December 1st launch date was announced for the Ethereum 2.0 and it was declared and we're going to take a look at what's going on with that plus a handy guide on how to become a validator with your 32 Ethereum. And finally we'll round it all out from a question from Dr. Dave and he asks, hey Rob, how can we buy Celsius? So we'll get in all that but first take a look at what's going on the market.  This is what I've been talking about for the last 10 months in this channel, which was in 2017 when the parabolic bull run came people lost their minds and I kind of feel like the same thing is happening. We've got Bitcoin at 15.4, Ethereum at 4.42, that's amazing. What else is going? Whoa, XRP up to a quarter and then we've got Bitcoin Cash at 255, Chainlink at 11, almost 12. I mean, everything is up and everything should be up because that's pretty much how 2017 kind of led up to that parabolic. And I just have to make mention of this, all the money is made when things are boring and flat or people are scared and there's a dip. This is not a big huge time to go, you know what, I'm all in because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. I mean, tomorrow we could just, people could just come back and go, hey, I'm going to take some profits and you have Bitcoin falling to 14 or 13 or whatever else it is. Ethereum could also fall down. Everything could fall tomorrow. So again, money isn't made when everything is going through the roof. It's made when it's boring and people don't want to invest when it's dipping and that's really what it comes down to. And this is a quote that I put out yesterday on my Twitter account and I just said, hey, look, you're probably thinking right now, man, I wish I had bought more, but you got to just, like I said earlier, just relax. You bought what you could when you could and you're way ahead of a lot of other people out there. So in five years, whatever you've done before, I mean, if you're at zero, well, maybe you should start to buy something as far as cryptocurrency. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to tell you what to do. But you have probably bought what you could when you could. So just sit back and relax. It's going to be all right. All right. So everything's up in the market. I'm not going to go over that and beat it at horse. Let's just jump into our main story. So first up, if I had to vote an MVP for Bitcoin, it's Jerome Powell. It's Jerome Powell and Michael Saylor. They are like the all star team for Bitcoin Incorporated. One pulls people towards Bitcoin and one person is pushing people towards Bitcoin and Jerome's doing all the pushing. So what's going on here? So this is a quick article. It's actually a kind of long article and talks about the things that Jerome Powell said and it kind of goes over everything that we've been talking about on this channel for the last three, four months or so. And it pretty much just says, look, this is what's going on with what is pushing Bitcoin to higher highs. Well, you got Michael Saylor, Michael strategy. You got squared. Everything going on with there. You got Fidele Digital Assets. You got Paul Tudor Jones. You got everybody kind of foam owing in right now into Bitcoin. And speaking of that, when I looked at this article on Crypto Globe, right next to it was this one called Bloomberg TV anchor now bullish on Bitcoin. It's amazing how price action does that. People don't really look at the fundamentals. They just go, wow, the price is up. I'm a believer. And sure, you can do that. But as soon as things start to turn, Harry, that's when people jump ship. And that's why me and you are here right now. And we're going to always make great decisions because we know exactly where crypto is headed. We're not fair weathered friends. We know exactly what's going to go on. You know what?  I knew it the whole time. And then when it goes down south, they're like, well, maybe not. And they're gone. Great. We can get out. Anyhow, so Jerome Powell is talking about more quantitative easing. Fantastic. We'd like to hear those words. QE, quantitative easing, me, you and all the gold bugs love to hear that. I didn't know this, but several high profile central banks, including the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of England have announced drastic quantitative easing or money printing plans to combat the economic threat of COVID-19 and start talking about micro-strategy and some other things. But this was interesting. The fear and greed annex, total greed right now. And this is the downfall of a lot of investors. They start to think, you know what? It's going to go up. It's going to go up forever. It's not.  That's what's going to happen. And it's going to push the price higher up. I don't know what's going to be a parabolic bull run, but there are fundamentals that we must always follow and we must not let our emotions get into the fray. That is what I learned in 2017. So when I talk about dollar-cost averaging, I'm still talking about it. As the price goes up, am I going to continue to dollar-cost average? Yes, but not near as much because I'm going to wait for a pullback because it is coming. And then I will increase my dollar-cost average percentages, but I will always keep buying just not as much as I do during the dips and the lulls. So moving down, let's talk about the election day, which was Super Tuesday, and the projected results from various news organizations were all totally wrong. And Lindsey Bell, the chief investment strategist and ally, invest told CNBC, it looks like we'll see a split Congress, which based on history, has been the preference of the stock market. So what does that mean? Well, the Democrats are going to run the U.S. House of Representatives and the Republicans are going to retain the Senate seats. So there's going to be gridlock.  So those guys are actually, those guys and gals are actually going to have to work together for once to actually get things done. But if you're like me, I have no faith in Congress. I have no faith whatsoever. So I don't expect them to get anything done just like they haven't got anything done in the last four years. So let's get to the part of where Jerome Powell actually and what he said. And he states, the current economic downturn is the most severe in our lifetimes. And we'll take a while to get this back to the levels of economic activity and employment that prevailed at the beginning of this year. And it may take continued support from both monetary and fiscal policy to achieve that. Good luck with that, Congress. I just would say that I think we'll have a stronger recovery if we can just get at least some more fiscal support when it's appropriate. You know, when it's appropriate and the size Congress thinks is appropriate, which depending on who you're asking, Republicans say it's around $1.8 trillion and the Democrats say it's about $2.2 trillion. So basically both estimates are on the T or trillions. And what does that mean? That means you have to print a lot of money. And this is the most interesting part. If you want to get the economy back as quickly as possible to where we want it to be, then really it should be all of government working together. Is monetary policy out of power or out of ammo? And the answer to that be no. I think we are strongly committed to using these powerful tools, quantitative easing, that we have to support the economy during this difficult time for as long as we needed and no one should have any doubt about that. So there's two tools that the Federal Reserve has. Money printing and interest rates. Right now they're going to keep the interest rates super low or at zero. And their next option and only option they have is negative interest rates. Depending on who you ask, that could actually be a reality, which would be scary for the traditional markets. Again, for us, bring it on. Anyhow, let me know what you think in the comments section. But that's a bunch of good reasons why Bitcoin is going to push up now and in the future. I can't tell you what tomorrow is going to bring, but I can tell you that all of this turmoil and all of this indecision is going to lead to higher markets. Let's move on. Next up. Ethereum's price started as September 1st launch date for Ethereum 2.0 declared. So in a new blog post, the foundation, Ethereum Foundation, offered inside a launch of 2.0. And that sent it rocketing up. And that's why we see an Ethereum price of around $440. That's amazing. So this little recap, Ethereum 2.0, it's going to take at least a couple of years or so to really get going. But the first one, the phase zero, is to move from proof of work to proof of stake. And of course, you're going to need 32 ETH to stake that and become a validator. The next part is to increase those transactions per second because they are so slow right now and they are super expensive and you're going to see that a little bit later. But that is when sharding comes into play and they're going to go from the, I don't know, like 25 TPS or 30 TPS transaction per second to over 100,000. So can't wait for that. It's going to take a while to do. But once really validators send their ETH to the Genesis deposit contract, those assets cannot be withdrawn. They were talking about staking. The reward for sending one's ETH away for good is an annual percentage return on those assets. So if you want to stake it, you can make some good amount of money or maybe not. It all depends. All of a sudden this latest update, the Ethereum team released a staking address at which validators can deposit their 32 ETH. So that is great. And I've been hearing this for a long time and I got really excited and actually heard a guy from Coin Bureau actually put out a nice little tweet, which I totally stole from him. So thanks, guy. I appreciate that. And I shared the exact same blog post, which was pretty interesting. So I'm going to run through this real quick. I'm going to link it in the description and I'm going to tell you exactly why I am not going to be a validator. So this is from Ryan Shaw Adams from Bankless Nation. He's got a YouTube channel, but he's a pretty smart guy, really well written. So he states the staking contract is open as we just talked about and it's going to go live December 1st. Super exciting. And here's what this guide covers. It goes over a lot of stuff. I'm just going to go. I'm just going to glance over it. Hardware requirements. Here's what you need. You need a 64 bit Linux, Mac OS X or Windows. Here's the processor memory, a gigabytes to 100 gigabytes, internet and needed power, which is an uninterruptible power supply. That's the recommended. They've also got a minimum down here, which I don't think you should do. Choosing and installing your client, the launch of ETH2 features multiple clients providing validators with the option of using different implementation. As of now, there are four and you can choose them right here and they give you a link. And going down, you have to install an ETH1 node. Running a validator on ETH2 requires you to run an ETH1 node in order to monitor for 32 ETH validator deposits. Interesting. Running an ETH2 validator is step four or actually the fourth part. If you're new to Ethereum, then a major step is getting your fuel or gas to participate. ETH2 requires 32 ETH per validator, which verifies everything we talk about. This is the real thing. Recognize that if you end up becoming a validator, you're making a long term commitment. Let me say it again, you're making a long term commitment. We're talking years toward this initiative. So here's a step two, head over to ETH2 Launchpad. Launchpad was designed for at home validators. These are hobbyists who intend to run their own validator and are comfortable running commands and a terminal screen on their computer. So I'm just going to stop right there because for me, I'm not doing it. I'm just not doing it. I just got so many things to do and this isn't my thing. This could be your thing. This could really get you excited. And that's why I'm going to link in the description and you can read the rest. So again, I'm going to support Ethereum in my way by buying a boatload of Ethereum, which actually been doing like last three years. Later on when they do a pool or something like that, I'll probably join. But for me, this is a non-starter because I'm busy. Just being honest. So I'll link that in the description. You can check it out. And that is it for that section. All right. And this one is going to come down to something that I should have done a long time ago that I didn't. I needed to complete this. This is from Dr. Dave at REMSleepDoc and we've been chatting back and forth about his issue with Celsius, which got resolved, which was fantastic. But he asked me yesterday, he says, Hey Rob, many of us may have missed this on your show, including me.  And I go, you know what? Making that exact video. And the reason I made this video was because I wanted to put it in my new website, which should be ready by this weekend. I was supposed to be ready today, but I lost track of time and I just couldn't get some things done because I do other things. It doesn't matter. So I'm going to show you this video. This is going to show you how to use a MetaMask wallet or your Brave browser and connect it that way. Super simple. How to transfer a theme to that wallet and then how to buy Celsius and also how to transfer when you buy it and put it in your Brave wallet or your MetaMask wallet. You can send it over to Celsius and actually earn some good yields. So let's jump in and I'm going to show you exactly how it's done. Okay. So welcome. So this is one of those questions that I get quite a bit, which is how can I buy the Celsius token? And it's kind of simple. Really, all we got to do is because we can't really find this on most any exchanges, we're going to have to use a decentralized exchange like Uniswap. And really, if you want to figure out exactly where to find any kind of token or any kind of cryptocurrency or asset, you can go to coingecko. That's coingecko, G-E-C-K-O dot com. And you're just going to scroll down and find the one that you're looking for. And for this specific situation, we're looking for the Celsius token. We're going to click on Celsius and we're going to scroll down today. It's at 176, not a bad day. Hopefully as you watch this, you'll probably see it go up to two, three, five, $10. Who knows? And when we scroll down, we can see all the different exchanges that it's listed on. You can see liquid Uniswap and AAX. I don't know what liquid or AAX is, so I'm not going to recommend them. However, I do know what Uniswap is and I can tell you exactly how to do it. And it's exactly what I do and I trust it. So on this channel or on this website, wherever you're watching it, I only give you the things that I trust and use. And these are the things that I do. So first thing we're going to need is something called the MetaMask wallet. And to make it super simple, I'm just going to recommend that you use Brave. If you don't use Brave browser, it's what I switched to about eight months ago or so, because I used to use Google Chrome and it would crash. There'd be different problems. Also, when I use Brave, it's much faster, much easier, uses less battery life. And here's the big thing. I can get paid for perusing the internets and the YouTubes and the Twitters and every place like that. I can get paid in basic attention token or BAT, which is a cryptocurrency. So if you want to actually get paid for the things you do, why don't you just use the Brave rewards? And you can sign up for Brave. You can go right to Brave, no big deal, but to make sure you're going to the correct site. So as we know, there's a lot of scammers out there. They want you to download different things. I'm going to say, if you're looking for this link, I'm going to make it super simple if you're watching this on YouTube, it's in, it's in the description, you're watching this on Dan teaches crypto, the website. I will link that also underneath this video. Now, as we know, there are a lot of scammers and hackers out there and they want you to download malicious software. So to make sure you're going to the right place, I'll just leave a link for you. Okay. So as you can see, I'm actually using Brave. So the first thing we need to set up is the Meta mask wallet, or we can just connect it to Brave. And that's why I recommend that you download Brave itself. So what I'm going to do is upper here on the top left-hand corner thing called Brave. I'm going to click on Brave, go to about Brave. And it's going to open up all my different settings and preferences and things like that. I want you to go to crypto wallets right here. And it's going to say, Hey, you can attach a crypto wallet right to your browser. So it's super simple. This is exactly what I do when I'm going through the internet. It makes things a lot easier and just very simplified. So of course I'm going to say, yes, I understand. They're going to download the component itself. So here's our option. We can connect our nano ledger. If you have something like that, it's very simply disconnecting and go through the steps. However, I want to do this a little simplified and we're going to create a new local wallet right here. So we're going to click create and let's create a password one, two, three, four, five or whatever you want to do. So like we talked about in our section for nano ledger and how to have that backup phrase, this is going to be your backup phrase for your metamask wallet or the wallet that is attached to this brave browser on your local drive. So again, your cryptocurrency does not live anywhere. It does not live in your browser. It does not live on your nano ledger. Cryptocurrency assets exist on the blockchain and all those decentralized ledgers and nodes throughout the entire world. So these backup phrases, they only give you access.  If you haven't watched it, watched our series in the basics module or in the safety module, go check those out right now and it'll explain a lot more if you need to. So I'm going to click here to reveal the words and I'm going to write these down in my stonebook. If you don't have a stonebook, it's pretty simple. It's a tear resistant, smudge resistant, water resistant, and it keeps all my passwords in. So that's what I'm going to do right now. And again, never reveal your secret words to anybody. They are secret for a reason. So I'm going to do that myself and I'm going to cut this out of the video. And now of course it's going to ask us to confirm your secret backup phrase because they know people like to just bypass these things and just kind of like glance all over it. So of course we're going to do this right now and we're going to put those in and great. I can, I passed the test. So that's pretty much all I got to do and you're going to click on all done. So here's what it is. You'll, this is your wallet and it'll always start off with zero Ethereum and zero basic attention token. Again, you can earn basic attention token just by perusing the internet. You can get to this screen just by clicking on a new tab and it'll take you right to it. So it's pretty easy to earn rewards. So what we need to do is to put Ethereum into this wallet on our brave browser. So when we go to Uniswap, we'll have something to swap for our Celsius token. So we're going to click on, there's two options here. We can buy it or send it. Well, we've nothing to send, so that's not going to work. And we'll click on buy. And this one, you can't buy anything. It's going to tell you, look, you need to deposit Ether so you can interact with different parts of the web where you want to, you know, sell or use Ether to buy things. So sure, we're going to click on view account. So right here, this is our QR scanner. Now, if we have a phone app like the Gemini exchange or the Voyager app, we can directly scan this pretty easily and then send it over. Or if you don't have that, you can always just come over here, double click this, this is your Ethereum public address, not your private address, this is your public address. I can post this anywhere and people can send me Ethereum all day long. We all can always post our public address anywhere we want to. Just don't post your private address anywhere. So to deposit Ethereum into this address, I'm going to show you two ways. One is with Gemini, which is going to be on my browser. And the way is going to be through Voyager, which is through my phone app. So first things first, I'm going to open up my account in Gemini. I'm going to click on my portfolio in the upper left hand corner here. I'm going to scroll down to where I find Ether or Ethereum. I'm going to click on trade. In the upper right hand corner, there's going to be three options. It's USD transfer account. I'm going to click on transfer. I'm going to withdraw from Gemini. So then this gets pretty basic. What's the currency? I'm going to click this down arrow here, a drop down box. I'm going to click on Ether or Ethereum, click continue. And it's going to say transfer to this is the destination. So where do we want it to go? We'll go back to our wallets, click on the, this is our Ethereum wallet address for the brave browser or MetaMask. We're going to copy that command C, control C or right click and then copy, come back over here and we're going to paste it right in there. And don't worry if this isn't correct. If you miss a letter, something like that, like I'm going to take off the F. You're going to see it says, that's not the correct address. Now, the big thing here is that we want to make sure that if it is the right, if it is the right address or a correct Ethereum address, we'll make sure it's the right one. So I always do is I take a look at the last four, E4EF. I'm going to take a look over here. What's the last four and only the last four doesn't show me there. I'm going to click out of here and up here is the same thing. E4EF. Okay, that is correct. So I'm going to make sure that's right. E4EF, first one, 0x. Okay, great. Let's continue. Enter the amount, whatever it is.  If you think about it, you're like, well, how much is 0.04? What I always do is I go here and type in Ethereum $2 and it's always going to give us a converter for the current price. So one Ether is worth 439. Well, let's see. What have I got here? How about 0.04, 17 bucks. Sure. Okay, I'll go with that. Click continue. And here's the date. Date November 6th, amount 0.04 from the primary to this address, which is our address right here. And yes, that looks good. So we're going to request a withdrawal. And then they're going to send me an authorization code to my phone because I don't want hackers to get in there and steal all my cryptocurrency, which is pretty good deal. I'm going to put the number in and it's only temporary so I can let you see that and then I'll click submit. And there we go. You've transferred 0.04 to blah, blah, blah, blah. And then what we're going to do is go back to our wallet and wait for it right here. Now while we're waiting for that, which it will go through, I want to show you the second option. So if I want to transfer Ethereum from my wallet, I want to use this nice little QR code, which I can find right here. For me, I'm going to use Voyager. And I'm going to jump into my phone real quick. I'm going to click on Voyager right here. And I'm going to go to my Ethereum account in Voyager. I'm going to click on transfer. And I'm going to withdraw ETH. So what I want to do. Let's take the same amount. I'm going to take 0.04 up in the very top. It's tapped to paste the Ethereum address, which I'm going to do, but there's a little QR code icon right there. I'm going to click on that. And then what do I do? Put it right next to my screen so it can absorb the actual address. And then there it is. So very simple. I'm going to slide to withdraw ETH. Sorry for that. It's going to say to check my email to confirm the withdrawal. Again, another check just to make sure it's me. I've opened up my email and it's going to say confirm withdrawal. Notice that it says 0.05 ETH. That's because there is a fee to withdraw on Voyager, kind of a bummer, but you always have to pay the pipe a little bit. So we're going to confirm that withdrawal and then success. We know it's success because here's our 0.08 ETH. So I got already in like two minutes time, I got 0.04 from Gemini and also 0.04 from Voyager. So pretty quick, actually. All right. So that's the tough part. Let's go to the easy part. Easy part is Uniswap. So how do I get to Uniswap? Well, first of all, I want to make sure that you go to the right place. Underneath this video, if you're watching on YouTube, it's in the description. If you're watching that bandages crypto, it's right underneath this video. It's going to take you to the Google spreadsheet. And I'm going to look for Uniswap. So I'm just going to scroll over to the right, ABRA uphold, simple swap, Uniswap, and here is the actual correct link. Now there's been people who have been posted to other links in different websites and it takes you to the wrong one and it steals your money. So just use this one. This is one that I use and it works. So I'm going to click on here. And if this is your first time, this is a new computer for me. It's going to say connect to a wall. Let's click on that. We're going to click on MetaMask and it's going to initialize. And here it is. So remember, our MetaMask wallet is essentially the one that's attached to Brave and again, 0.08 ETH. Here's our account. We're going to click on next. And it's going to allow this site to view the address of your permitted accounts, which is the one we just talked about. We're going to click connect. And let's connect it and bam, there we go.  Every time you come back, it's going to view your wallet. And don't worry, it doesn't do anything. It can't send anything. It can't steal anything. You have to authorize these transactions. So real quick, I'm going to close this down and then open it up again. Just to show you that it'll always come back up. Let me go to the exchange. Let me click on that link one more time just to make sure. And there we are. Now, if for some reason you clear out the cookies or something like that where you close this down and you do a hard reset, you have to do the same exact procedure, which is just connect my wallet. Click on MetaMask and bam off you go. So we have .08 ETH to play around with. What are we going to buy? Let's buy a little Celsius. And this is the easy part. So from Ethereum, which is our wallet, we're going to select the token. And what do we want? Well, we want Celsius. We can look for it. We can just type in here Celsius. And there it is sell. So how much are you going to do? Let's go about the max to the .08. Let's do .06. I want to make sure that I have enough for the fees. I'm going to click on swap. So the price is 250 Celsius per one Ethereum. Minus about that. Yeah, sure. Liquidity provider fee is almost nothing. So confirm swap. Crypto Wallet notifications are going to pop up. And here's the gas fees. And across right now it is super high for 77. That is a lot in gas fees. And the reason for that is, of course, everybody's using Ethereum. Everything is doing transaction because Ethereum 2.0 was just announced today or yesterday. So people are putting everything in their Ethereum contract. And this is the problem with Ethereum. So if it gets like this, usually the gas fees are like 10 cents, 16 cents, 28 cents. Right now it's ridiculous. However, I want to get done with this video. So I'm going to click confirm and off it goes. So this is real interesting. So you can close it and that's fine. Or if you want to take a look at what's going on behind the seams, this is the great thing about transparency. You can view everything on Etherscan. Now, unlike your bank account, you need to log into your bank account and it's attached to your name and everything else is through there. So you are just privy to that. But for the blockchain, anybody can see anything in all different types of transactions. But here's the rub, they can only see wallet addresses. So they don't know who 0x47B, blah, blah, blah, blah is unless you tell them who it is, but you can see everything and where it all flows from. So here's the hash address. It looks like it was already successful. That's pretty fantastic. This is from 0x47 or E4EF, which is our account right here, E4EF. And we got 0.06 Ether or $26. Here was the fee ridiculous 360. After a minute or so, we come back here and here is our Celsius all nice and fresh into our wallet. Now, what I usually do is I send this Celsius to my Celsius wallet. Before I get into that, I'm going to tell you why I transferred to Celsius. The reason is because with Celsius, I can earn on my cryptocurrency and digital assets. So you can earn up to 21% annually. Try doing that in any bank. So like some like an example, Tether is 13%, Bitcoin that you just parked there is 6% and 7% for Ethereum. And as I scroll down, I just want to show you real quick. And this is from Celsius.network. You can check it out. You can see all the different prices for all the different cryptocurrencies. So APY, 7% for Ethereum, Synthetix, wow, 21%, 20% for Matic. Tether is 13 and then on and on and on. So that's why I transferred over. I think Celsius, they get like between 5% and 6%. So it's not a great amount, but it's better than nothing. Just sitting around doing absolutely Zippo. But the way I do this is I go, I open on my Celsius wallet and I click on Celsius. And I click on little C in the bottom right hand corner here. I click on transfer and it's going to tell me only transfer. Same coin type as selected continue. I understand. I'm going to choose a coin, make sure it's Celsius. I understand. There's two options, the QR code or the actual address.  So it's going to ask for the public address. I'm going to make this very simple. I'm going to copy on my phone because I have my iPhone. Here's my iMac, which is always pretty simple. I'm just going to paste it right there. And there it is. I'm going to click the slow option. Actually, now I'm just going to click average dollar. Again, the fees are greatly inflated right now. Because of what's going on with the Ethereum network. Let's send over, I'm going to send over 10 Celsius. Click next and then confirm. And that should be in the wallet momentarily. So again, that's how you buy Celsius. That's how you transfer Celsius and everything else. All right, so that's it. So give me a couple, a couple more days or so, just to iron out the wrinkles for the website and I'll put it all up there. But again, it's going to be super easy. I boil everything down. It's easy to make things complex, but it's really hard to simplify things. But before we take off, I just want to give a shout out to everybody who has signed up for digital asset news for the YouTube channel. I really appreciate it. So random shout outs. Michael Donoth, Ron Drake, Eric Mitko, Ignacio Meia, David, David, David. Frankster, Frankster, Tom Cochran, Doug Net, who else? Kelly Church, TTP 9-11, Donald Francisco and Iran Rod Week. So thanks everybody. I really appreciate it. If you like those types of videos, it's going to be two months going to pop up on your left and right. I'll let YouTube do its magic and that is it for today. So quite the week we had. I'll be glad when it's over and I hope you have a great weekend. So thanks so much. See you on the next one. Bop, bop.

Item number SCP-124 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-124 is to be kept in a 4.2 meter by 2.1 meter stone pit in its containment cell. The pit is to be 1.5 meters deep. A plastic tarp is to be placed over SCP-124 with not in use. Absolutely no biological matter is allowed within 1 meter of SCP-124 with not being studied. An armed guard is to be stationed outside SCP-124's cell at all times. Description SCP-124 is a plot of soil approximately 9 meters squared in area and 14 meters cubed in size. It was recovered from a Detroit basement when authorities were notified of two teenagers growing large amounts of marijuana. SCP-124 has the ability to grow any biological organism to its full potential in a relatively short amount of time. The length varies according to the complexity of the organism. Nothing growing in SCP-124 requires external nutrients or other resources. For example, a tomato plant would not require water or light. Pesticides too aren't needed, as SCP-124 has a repellent effect on any insect or other invertebrates not growing in it. Any food grown in SCP-124 is reported to be of very high quality, taste, and nutrition, no matter what state the food was in before being planted in SCP-124. Document 124-1 List of items grown in SCP-124 The following is a selective list of objects grown in SCP-124 during experiments. One put, Product of SCP-124 Tomato seed, fully grown tomato plant. All tomatoes 12 in each plant were ripe and juicy, reported to be very tasty. Small watermelon, 0.8 kg, 11.1 kg, or 24.5 lb watermelon, reported to be very sweet and tasty. The seed, 1, SCP-124 quickly sprouted into a lush green lawn within a matter of seconds, slight dew on the grass. Small overgrown hedge, a hedge, trimmed and shaped like a dolphin. Small overgrown hedge, a hedge, trimmed and shaped like a skull. Small Labrador Retriever Puppy, Sandy Brown. A fully grown, bronze-colored Labrador Retriever in peak condition, currently living with Dr. Church. All Caucasian fetus, male. After killing six personnel, the subject was terminated by SCP-Containment Team. Fly larvae. Level 5 lockdown was initiated.


Hi, I'm Cesar Saavedra, Technical Marketing Manager at GitLab. In this video, I'm going to show you how GitLab empowers GitHub stakeholders to effectively collaborate on infrastructure updates. Let's get started. GitOps manages infrastructure changes using DevOps best practices. The ability to foster collaboration between infrastructure and operations engineers as well as developers is a core GitOps capability. This organization has the following GitOps team structure. Satcha is a software developer and development team developing microservices. Devin is a DevOps engineer in the operations platform team maintaining the Kubernetes clusters and Sydney is a database administrator in the infrastructure team. They will all collaborate on projects under this group, which contains two subgroups, one for the applications and one for the infrastructures code. This separation of roles and concerns between applications and infrastructure optimizes the work and collaboration among GitOps stakeholders. In this scenario, Satcha developer will ask Sydney, a database administrator, to provision a new database. Sydney, in turn, will loop in Devin, a DevOps engineer as a consultant. Satcha has been tasked to work on an enhancement for a Java microservice that calls for the creation of a database. She would like to collaborate with the operations platform and infrastructure teams and has created an issue under the AWS infrastructure project and assigned it to Sydney, the database administrator from the infrastructure team. At this point, Sydney creates an MR and using the AdSign annotation in a comment, tags Devin from the operations platform team since they run Java microservices on Kubernetes clusters. Sydney opens up the Web IDE to start to work on the infrastructure-related updates to the project. Sydney is using AWS, but the same would apply for other cloud providers like Google or Azure. Sydney creates a configuration file, MySQL main.tf, for the creation of the database. She's using Terraform for the infrastructure updates. Since she owns this file and wants to ensure that the merge does not happen without her approval, she checks that her GitLab handle is listed in the CodeOwners file. CodeOwners outline the exact GitLab users and groups that own certain files or paths in a repository. They can streamline the merge request approval process by finding the right reviewers and approvers for a given merge request. They also help identify who to contact for other questions about this file. Sasha notices that the MR has some activity and checks the newly added Terraform file for the database she requested of Sydney. She notices that the database allocated storage is too small and makes an inline suggestion to Sydney for an allocated storage size of 5 gigabytes. Inline suggestions and comments speed up the code review process and can help increase code quality. Devin has an item in his to-do list and goes to the MR in which he has been tagged. He notices the version of the database in the Terraform file and makes an inline comment about possibly bumping it up to a more recent version. He also sees the hard coding of the database admin username and password and makes inline comments about this to Sydney. Devin observes that there needs to be a way to show or report the database information like the connection URL to the end user. He adds a general comment about this at the bottom of the MR. At this point, Sydney notices that there are a resolved threads in the MR and proceeds to address all the feedback from the operational platform and development teams. Sydney proceeds to apply the inline suggestion from Sasha. She then decides to create a new issue out of Devin's inline comment about bumping up the database version so that she can tackle it in the next sprint. To address Devin's remaining comments, Sydney replies to his general comment requesting he create an issue for the next sprint. For the two inline comments, she lets him know that she will parameterize and mask the database admin username and password. Sydney checks that all threads have been resolved and proceeds to mark the MR as ready. The MR will also need her approval before it can be merged since she is a code owner of a path affected by this MR. Sasha notices all items have been addressed by all GitHub stakeholders and proceeds to approve the MR. Notice that the MR is now ready to be merged. We have gone over an example of how Gila can help platform operations, infrastructure and development team members to collaborate on GitHub's tasks to increase visibility and quality of code changes, leading to greater accuracy of fulfilled requests, greater infrastructure stability and improved release velocity through team review and validation while sharing the same consistent user experience and workflow. I hope you enjoyed this video and until next time.


Welcome back. I would have thought that we are facing some technical problems. Hopefully the audio will remain stable. And at this point I'd like to welcome Coco, who supports chaos at school in parts and who clearly is interested in singing birds. As you will be able to find out how these birds can be seen and watched and mapped live. And she will explain to us how that works. And there will be some interactivity, which means that I will use the chaos pad that we have in the wiki and the pre-talks wiki that we've linked to. I will be watching that wiki. And if you have any questions, you can put them in there and I will pass them on. And then we will try to work on these questions immediately and turn it into a real interactive experience and a spontaneous workshop. I'm looking forward to that.  Yes, thank you for the intro. Thanks for being here. I would like to tell you why you map singing birds. That's all why that is important and how that is organized. And with you, I will then use the QGIS software to look at data sets, current data set to see what the population is and where they are. And if you want to join in, it would be good if you could install the QGIS desktop now. That is a tool to create maps. And if you get lost, if you want to ask questions, try something else, then use the usual channels as has been explained just now. Right. I have four or six slides here. I hope you can see them. And the first one asks, why do you actually record birds? You know they are tweeting about and your balcony, but why is that interesting? Who is interested in that? But in environmental politics and decision making, to have a good foundation for these decisions or to make the right demands from politics, you have to have reliable data. You cannot just say protect the birds. You have to be able to say, well, look, the population of this or that species has been declining by 80% in the last few years. We have to save them. That's why the Federal Republic of Germany, but the EU also is recording some indicators. And these indicators are supposed to reflect how habitats, agrarian areas and others are changing. And these indicators are then used when you have to argue for certain legal changes or whatever. Germany actually has an indicator called biodiversity and landscape quality, which sounds very comprehensive. But in practice, the whole of this indicator is only related to birch species. The whole landscape type is connected to the species that you would expect there and then it's checked whether they are still there. And that then gives you a percentage saying what the quality is like. And the EU has a number of other indicators, again, related to landscape types and species that are supposed to reflect how intact the nature is. And our German index on biodiversity and landscape quality is divided into landscape type, which is agrarian areas, which is normally where the issues are worst. Forests which are supposed not to have changed and populations are supposed not to have changed. We have separate areas, inland waters and seas. Of course, you have very different birds in each of these. And each landscape type has been assigned a number of species and the map has then go out every year and see how many of the birds are still there in certain designated areas. And on that basis, there is an evaluation how intact that landscape is. And in a way you can say that Germany makes political decisions depending on birds, certain species and depending on how many of these are flying about. But these data have to come from somewhere. And Germany does not employ tens of thousands of mappers, but these in fact are volunteers. And the German Office for Environmental Protection I think is the name, has outsourced the whole thing to an association of volunteers that has 1,650 volunteers in place and these are onisologists. They have been roped in. Each of them has a certain area that they let go and map what kinds of birds they saw where and we will now deal with this small spot near Hanover which I have been mapping for the last two years. So I have been out there for eight times altogether starting in March and ending in June every year and there are four times preset where you are supposed to be there from sunrise for about two hours. You walk along a certain line and count and you can see those red spots. These are the actually assigned areas which are actually getting mapped and the green spots almost the same number. These are the areas that should be mapped for a representative sample but for which no volunteer bird has been found yet which tells you that our German indicator has huge gaps for certain landscape types because it doesn't register the areas that it's supposed to register. So if you know about birds, you are very welcome to show up. This really is fun. Right. And then you get to what actually caused me to hold this workshop and this is a systematic approach. There has been one since 1989 and until the last year, this was very traditional on pen and paper. So we have, we were given some printouts of our maps. We went out with those into the landscape or into the settled area in my case and whenever you heard a bird, you wrote, you've made a note in the map what species that was and maybe what the bird did at the time. So this bird was singing. This bird was feeding and so on. And after the third time around, you sat down on the computer at home and you then take a blank map for each species and all the birds that you've registered, you copy into that map and you then take another map and you take the next species and take that from the old fold of the field maps that you had and put them in there. So you had four field maps that created one species map with different colors for each watching period and you could then circle in. If in a certain period of time you'd seen the species, then that was regarded as a relatively safe breeding area. Some species of course migrate. Some do that early, some later in the year and depending on when they migrate, that changes where they settle and if I find a certain bird in April, a tit perhaps, I will then assume that it will be breeding there. And for swifts in April, you can be quite certain that they'll be still migrating. Only when you see them, if you see them around June, can you assume that this is where the bird is actually breeding. So you can then find out the dots you have in what colors and you can then circle in certain spots. Now since this year, this has been digitized. Digitalized. There is the naturalist. Yeah, that is a pun. And that has existed for a few years and everyone that counts birds as a hobby uses this and that is where you enter your random observations. There is a portal there that I think is only there to collect bird observations and then there are more or less scientific evaluations to run on that basis and that includes the indicators that the state has set up and the EU and the way they relate to the markings in your area and you then refer to this platform called Ornito. So anyone that is very serious in bird watching will enter their data there and the line you have to walk along as a systematic mapper can be included on the map, can be faded in and you actually store the exact coordinates. As you can see in this example you can choose species, you've seen how many of these birds I've seen and what they do. Is it tweeting? Is it just there? There are birds where you can actually determine the sex. So if you have a black bird that is quite important and you can distinguish them by color and if you see that you find two males you can assume two different territories. If you see a couple then it's more likely that they belong into one of the same territory and that is what you've seen. So you can see if you've seen a bird that is carrying nesting material then you can assume that this bird is not migrating through but it's actually building a nest in this area although it can actually find that nests are given up and the birds move on. If you see a bird carrying food then you can be quite certain that the bird is actually breeding and has offspring that the bird is feeding or maybe you've found a nest then you can also be quite certain that you are in a breeding area and that all you can register. I can't of course take you out into the field right now sadly and that's why I will now see what happens after the field work at home. If you want to join me in clicking you can now take this address use this address and import the point cloud from there import it into QGIS if you've started QGIS to desktop. Now these are data from people that have actually walked outside and entered the data and after the fourth walk after a few days of processing you are then sent this export and then it's up to you what you do with the data ultimately the territories that you've deduced from that you're supposed to enter into an excel sheet and send over and okay you've seen the link for a while and I'll share my screen and we will now look at and process this geotation together. Alright I hope you have installed QGIS and now we're going to open up a new project so now we're going to look at the point cloud and to do so we're going to pull it into the layer window so now we have to choose the layer we want to view. This is a polygon which is actually irrelevant because it's just the outer border of my data and now you have a white line which is a line that I walked and then you have points and each points represents one bird I registered so what we see are many points that look the same so the first question is where are we and in order to see where we are we have a very useful extension which is called quick maps services you should all install this because it's very handy I'll just leave it here for everyone to see and to remember the name and you see the quick map services up here in the tool button and we also we can blend in an OSM and map so it's an open street map map which we can see so now we see where we are and unfortunately the contrast is very strong so it's difficult to see to spot the points and we can change that in the settings if we adjust the brightness set it up a little bit and if you click apply you see what it looks like so now the background map is a little bit paler so we can see the points very well our goal is still to make maps so let's see what kind of data we have now we're going to select the layer and look at the attributes so I've named the points after the bird so let's start with the blackbirds we have points which have characteristics all of those are observation types and then we have a date which is important because we can see the month I saw the bird in while the species ID isn't so interesting atlas code that is the code for the European breeding bird atlas which is also collected from these data and this is what I entered on what the bird is doing at the moment and we have a reference list here with the codes A1 that means that I've seen the bird A2 means that the bird was singing when birds are singing loudly you assume that it's female worldwide 70% of all bird species is where the females sing more often here in northern Europe we also have a phenomenon which is that males are mostly singing especially when breeding so they're singing to their eggs in order to make their hatchlings known with their voice so here in northern European bird singing you can assume that it's male and once other male birds to go away and leave its territory and then you have the B codes which are about breeding you have different types of behavior that indicate breeding for example building a nest and then you have the C types which is about secure breeding so when a bird is actually sitting in the nest and breeding or if you see hatchlings those are behaviors which we have as atlas codes ID form I actually have no idea what this is but species name is their species of course and direction is relevant if you're in an open field and you see a bird disappear or appear you can track the direction it's moving in but because we're in a populated area and you can't look far into the field only registered sitting birds so it makes sense to filter by species so now we just have one species in the map are there any questions is everyone getting along well ok so I'll just continue in order to split the map we're going to go to the editing tool we want to split the map so we're looking for the splitter function let's see split vector layer that looks good so let's do that now we can select the field we want to split by so we say species name and now we're creating a shape layer for each kind of bird and we have to tell the computer where it's supposed to go so I'm opening a repository so we're going to make a separate folder because we're going to have many folders in the end so now we can see changes and we don't want all the species at once so I've got auxiliary files and the shape file is very important let's see what's in it so let's just drag a file into the viewing window let's just hide the other layers so these are just the blackbirds so we still don't see in the map what kind of activity we saw so let's continue with the settings and the characteristics so we have markers here colored markers and we're going to opt for rule based now you can refine the rule so you can give it a sense we want to categorize so actually we would need to sort by date but unfortunately the dates are in text as we just saw the month is written in text but you can split the text so let's go into an editor and let's make numbers from the words so the first text after a space is our month because in May 2020 for example May would be the first word after a space and now we found those classes I don't know what the one without the date means but now we split it the names of the months and now we sorted them with this now let's apply that now we have colored points color is one walk sometimes I did walks but I didn't find securely breeding birds so sometimes events are atypical so we need to label them in a way that makes sense later so let's go to label and we also want to establish a rule here a rule based labeling so now we're adding a rule we're going to walk and now we want to paste the date and we also want to know what did the bird do so we also need the atlas code so it's very handy that we have a contact function here so we have a raggitz and that strips the month from the date string and we're going to concat it with the atlas code so this should be it let's see if it works yeah now we have the name of the month and the atlas code so let's close that and now we can add the open street map layer again we've got a problem here because it's very difficult to distinguish between the labels and the street names so we have to try and find a better way of making it visible so let's go back into the characteristics so we have still the labeling selected and we're going to open it again so we want a text buffer which is the small space between the letters that we see on the map so let's see now we see that it looks better we have a little white space behind the letters so nice you can actually read the labelings we could also add some shadows if we want that's a matter of taste personally I don't like the shadows so I'm going to remove it so buffer yes shadow no apply so that's enough for styling now let's look at the reading territories so we're going to zoom using our mouse wheel and now we would have to look into the table which tells us what kind of event we're dealing with and we have a list of species and we have walk numbers so the number of walks you've seen the birds you can consider the bird to be for example definitely breeding so in March, no March, April and June so we are going to look for black birds during these walks let's go back to QDIS where is it I'm sorry so June black birds are already irrelevant because they're back to migrating so in order to map the birds we need a vector layer of the directory type no not this button was it this one layer of the poly type so now we have the borders of the territories they're called paper territories because they're not real territories because you can't exactly define the territory of a bird because you would have to watch them all day and you would have to watch the birds behavior and for example how they behave with neighboring birds so now we're going to find rough territories so called paper territories so we have to save the polygon layer somewhere I'm going to put it into the species folder and select the species black bird and it's going to the editing mode and start adding objects to the layer in QGIS you have three types of layers you have interface only contains points line layers which only contain lines and polygon layers which only contain polygons so you can't really make a next layer but you do three separate layers which you put on top of each other so now we're going to add a polygon layer to the point layer which we already have so we saw a black bird at the church in May and April so we saw two separate birds well there was one in June that may have been the same than in May so what I am going to do now is that I'm going to assume that those birds are the same so I'm assigning them one ID and maybe those two could also be the same so I've got two territories here and then we've got this March and April sighting in A1 we only saw it and in A2 it was actually singing so when the boat was singing I'm assuming that it's male maybe I even saw that it's black and directly we had a black bird that was singing in June and in March and in May it's interesting that we have different black birds in March so those two black birds are definitely not the same bird so we can mark two territories let's continue up here we have three black bird sightings in March there are three different birds because we saw them on one walk normally birds choose landmarks as territory marks so for example they might choose a path or a garden or a tree as their territory markers and roads are sometimes dividers between territories actually two birds one in the front garden and one in the back garden so we've got one bird in May here but only in May but birds can fly so maybe it was just looking for something to eat here so this is one territory because we saw the same bird in March and April May and June because this bird has been here in May and here in April this one in April must be a different bird continue up here at the cemetery we have the most birds at the cemetery actually we've seen one in May here and now it's getting tricky we have our first buck the gender of the bird was saved but it wasn't recognised by cuges I would say two birds in May but my memory says otherwise because I remember that this one was a female and that this one up here was male so probably we have a couple here the same up here I saw two birds in May closely together and I had to look back into my records to see one of them was brown in many species of birds the females are green or brown because they sit in the nest most of the time so it's advantages if they're not recognised so easily by cats or other predators so the nice and beautiful colourful females just died out or were eaten and males however actually distract from the female so they often have one spot that is very colourful and if they show and flash their colours you can assume that they are trying to distract from a nest so I remember that these were two black birds so two males this one is lonely but so we have one territory here at the mayor's office so it might be one of those who just switched for looking for something to eat so in order to not disturb the statistics I'm getting to just mark it as an uncertain territory and confirm it later so now I would just enter it into my excel sheet like that so we've got 15 15 black bird territories in total so let's go on with the next bird we're going to hide the black birds for now let's see who will choose let's use the black red starts I'm sure you've seen them this is a bird that likes to sit on rooftops and I haven't seen that one as much as the black birds it would be nice if we could all use the settings we made on the black bird layer and use that for this one as well that is possible because you can copy the style so copy style is a command in QS I'm going to go to the black red start layer I chose the wrong one there and copy and then say paste style and immediately we have these labels separated which include the month and the id and you can save doing this click 100,000 times you can see taking all the maps that you have we've had the one with black birds already so drag them all into the window which takes a while here they are and you can then select all of them and paste style again all the species maps that we had split earlier are there and have the same kinds of labels of course this is now a huge mess of dots so we will now hide them away with all these layers finally some quiet let's get OpenStreetMap back in and where are the black starts and you can do the same with all the other layers you can do the same thing we did earlier now create those polygons now set the layer to edit and happily start marking territories for the black red start I don't think I have to run through the whole process again it works just as it did earlier with the black birds and once we've finished mapping now take use the spreadsheet that is the document will send to the German association of ornithologists it looks a bit chaotic but it isn't because it has all the bird species that are in the catalogue of species to be monitored and of these 99 species only 20 or so will occur in settled areas and at the top I'll enter what kind of landscape we were doing our mapping in and this was village, garden city small holdings part of the sample area was industry that was the railway tracks now we'll enter the species and how many territories in which kind of landscape and we don't have so many species here for the ones we want we would then enter our black bird territories and the habitats the habitat of village or garden city and you guess where are you here you are and then see whether in the industrial areas we found any black birds no we didn't if we did we would enter these birds under industry and this would occur in forests we didn't have any agrarian areas you could debate with a cemetery as a landscape type occurred we had a cemetery but to not make things too chaotic sometimes you only really process a landscape type if they are as large as 300 meters and because this cemetery was so small we included it in the garden city landscape type because it doesn't really differ that much from the other landscape and in the excel sheet we have 23 different species and that's what you send in together with the shapefiles which are the polygons and you then leave it to the central office to calculate those indicators and that is your job and that's what you get done for the year right now that was the very first year in which we worked this way using naturalist and QGIS and I think it was a real success because you still finished earlier you don't need as much paper and you can hand your data in via email and not send in a huge envelope and therefore I hope that you will have a few questions now because I am now basically done with the demonstration so let's I have a few more links for you if you've only seen QGIS now this is where you can find the software if you want to learn more about bird monitoring use the German link for the German office for nature protection they have a fairly good German info page and if you want to join in either monitoring common breeding birds or if you haven't got that much experience then monitoring of rare birds might be more interesting because there's only one species for you to recognise there and that is the one you have to search for and for that you go to the DDA the umbrella organisation of German AV fornists and join the forum and say that you're new and would like to monitor and I and if you are more into it you can say I would like to map common birds and you have to be able to recognise these birds reliably either by shape by appearance or voice but you have to be reliable in recognising them and if you want to join in at the lower level if you sit outside often and would like to count birds then have a look at only though the German portal to report earth sightings and if you only can think of questions tomorrow you can reach me via twitter or mastodon or you can write to me via my NABU, my ornithologist association's address now I'm through and I'm interested in your questions thank you Coco that was very interesting and particularly because in these corona times there is a certain side effect nature of course is more active but at least I felt that I've actually seen a couple of birds on my shelf, robins they use the shelf for breeding if food is so close I'll have a look at the questions one has been there for a long time did you consider creating a bird did you consider a plug-in for the lookup tables that you've used in your talk a bird plug-in for these tables well, since I've only started with QQIS now I've only really saw what you can do and writing a plug-in would have been a task for the winter for it to be used next year and I would of course then offer that to all mappers it would have to look good that way all that perfectionism but on the other hand of course one or other will now have caught on and maybe someone is interested to join in that kind of work I would be happy if someone wanted to do that because chaos of course depends on people coming together and doing interesting things together so let's have a look at the next question if the QQIS setup will be kept if the setup will be kept for the coming years are there plans to extend QQIS for your work count the areas put them directly into Excel that would be a task for the plug-in again that would do the counting in the polygon layer and transfer the data and in the next few years that will gradually perhaps come about I'm very happy that I was able to use GeoJSON for the time being so even if things are not quite complete yet but surely by next year it will be more complete and everyone is just a volunteer so let's just program that on the fly and most mappers tend to be somewhat older people, retired people and all this digitalization is kind of putting them into a very new situation and they are now busy creating PowerPoint exports which is an alternative to GeoJSON and put images into a PowerPoint presentation and all that now for people that aren't really familiar with digital things these are not nerds these are hobby birders or maybe professional biologists who do this in their spare time or people that do something completely different and have an interest in birds I cannot expect them to be familiar with coordinates OSM and all that and it has to be easily usable right and you don't want to have to learn kinds of weird things all the time it has to be simple and you shouldn't have to be an IT expert and if I write a plug-in which is a very nice idea by the way then it really should simplify working with cure guests for complete novices to use that that's the task and it should correctly export the characteristics of any observed bird yes I cannot say what would have come out of that because I didn't do the registering this is kind of experimental now your move direction of movement or the birds you can actually record bird movement directions in naturalist so you can say this bird isn't stationary on the street and can then the direction of gaze can be read from the phone of course and entered and bird's direction of course will be more difficult another question which seems quite naive but actually is probably quite relevant at which kind of weather it should be sunny, dry weather and it should be at sunrise because birds there's a real bird clock where you can find which birds to expect at which time of day and they start before sunrise and exactly at sunrise you have the most activity and we think that this is because there are few insects about in the morning because it's moist and cold so that is the time when they are awake but the food is not and all other activities that have to be made are then carried out at that time that's why when birds wake up you have this amazing concert where all of them are singing everyone basically screaming this is my territory I claim this territory for myself and my partner so you try to go out in sunny weather because in dry weather this is when most birds are active if it's raining they tend to hide and tend to not want to sing so you can expect to not see many of them you should therefore check the weather forecast so if you have a one hour trip to your area and start in dry weather you should check whether it will stay dry is it dry or dry and cloudy and if there are no clouds then it's worth making the trip and you can expect then for the weather to stay dry and not to actually drive into a rain and that of course is an issue most of these areas are quite far outside I was lucky but the other areas I'm assigned require one hour trip and others have even further to travel so these people might be starting out in the night and arrive in dry weather so you are actually assigned a place where to watch boats, no you choose it you have the wet side I'll just share my screen you have a list of maps and you can choose an area which is convenient to you from the areas that are still free we also have a water bird counting event now here you can filter by state and then you can choose a district and you have red territories which are already given to someone and you can't switch because data only become illegal when a person has watched for two years because the statistics purpose is to monitor trends so it's important that you have a consistent way of monitoring because the same purpose is to have the same error rate and having someone else watch would lead to inconsistencies so you're trying to exclude systematic errors so yeah no data isn't good enough yet so we're working with you so here the green areas are still free so if you want to participate just choose a green area look at the details so for example if we want this area here we would write an email to the coordinator and say state our experience in bird watching to make yourself credible and this area is assigned to you and you're going to dedicate several years to watching the birds and normally people do that as long as they live so you're like the male black bird claiming the territory and saying that's my territory now one question on how to spot birds websites whereologists share their sightings could you use those we do that for example we have ornito.de which is an ornithologist's platform where ornithologists upload photos of their sightings and we can actually use the location data from the photos and incorporate them in our research so those are chance sightings that help us get a picture of how many species we have we have other platforms an international platform for example from an English university that collect sightings with photos and those are available worldwide we also have data from Germany but all Germans ornithologists I know use ornito but it's a matter of taste because websites have a lexicon where beginners can look up bird species and ornito is a little bit old-fashioned maybe and there's another platform which I haven't mentioned here where you can upload photos of breeding birds and you can actually record your observations like for example what the bird would do and they also help scientists identify birds and what they're doing and if you don't know the species you can upload it as a mystery and then ornithologists from all over the world try to assign the bird to a species and also well if it's not too exotic someone will actually tell you what kind of bird it is so it's a crossover between geocaching and ornithology yeah exactly geocaching is like bird watching for people who don't know about birds bird watching really you have to learn it from another person by walking along but spotting birds the next years you really need experience and you really need a teacher for that and you really have to listen very closely it take me 10 years walking along with other bird watches in order to get a certain kind of certainty which kind of bird I'm watching when I was a beginner it was more difficult for me and now I'm more experienced I'm part of a nature protection group and I was part of a walk where we told people what kind of bird we're seeing right now and then unexpectedly both of the tour leaders died and we needed someone to replace them and we didn't because we didn't want to cancel the event so I just tried to do that and so I inherited the task basically of leading the tour and I became very good at it and I actually noticed that I had become very good at this and I could actually do it so I'm now doing bird watching tours regularly it's something you just acquire over the years it's not something you can do as a pandemic project for example it takes years of dedication but it's worth it or you could start during the pandemic because we've learned that it's very good to be outside in small groups and with a lot of distance to other people so it's actually a very good thing to do right now yeah and that was the best time to begin so another question I have a question the app screenshots in the presentation they looked different than the ones linked below well they were screenshots from bird watching notifications which used different maps so this is where the differences might come from maybe they also changed nah they're from last week but it seems I was on another sub page you get the same information at BFN DDR but they always look kind of different I'm very happy that the pad is very active and that many people are listening and posting questions of course many listeners noticed that your check has a nice shape but that was that was by chance I did a hard formed walk by chance yeah it's cute so let's see if there's anything obvious or so there's one question that has been there from the beginning what kind of hardware do you use I'll explain it in German so in tracking projects you attached a GPS sender to birds in smaller birds you used to use different trackers but now you have trackers that are very lightweight and small and then you release the bird and then you have the geolocation data to track the migrating routes because birds when they migrate they make pauses and sometimes it is used to spot abnormal behavior that could indicate an earthquake for example and also you try to find the winter territories of the birds which is obviously trying to protect them so you only attach those very expensive trackers to collect birds and provide the best data and then you have lines that go all over the map if you want to participate in that as a layman and you have an app which you can use to see the geolocation data and then you can from home with your spectacles you can see if you see the bird with binoculars you can double check the data and you can also spot behaviors like for example if the birds are feeding or if they are gathering you can feed the data with your additional observations so this is a nice thing to do if you are outside if you find a tracked bird you can monitor its behavior and track its behavior also sounds like geocaching and outdoor activities with technical equipment so if it is sunny outside in the morning and you are bird watching the stereotypical node just went to bed right? or do you just stay awake all night to go bird watching in the parking lot? yeah two things you also have night active birds night birds so for night nerds I would recommend birds that are active between 10 in the evening and 1 o'clock in the morning because normal on the solid just want to be awake so they are sleeping at that time obviously or you can bat watch because for bats you can just set out an antenna and then you can track the bats and they are actually looking for people that like to do radio stuff as a hobby and then you can have a certain type of antenna which is used to track birds and to see the migrating from its behavior you can determine the species using ultrasound so bats are also night compatible species so that sounds like we need another talk for that because there is so much material to talk about like ultrasound detectors building them that sounds like so much fun and actually we have bats and I can hear them at night with my bare ears so technical equipment could make it so much more fascinating any healthy adult should still be able to hear bats because you have about 20 kilohertz for the lower tones which bats make when they are hunting but when they are not hunting they make louder sounds between 100 and 150 kilohertz and you can hear them quite well when they are hunting actually because then they are at 70-80 kilohertz and that is you can hear that with your bare ear but we are getting distracted because we were talking about birds I am having a lot of fun right now with our bat discussion at the end of our time slot so let's have one last look into the pad and it looks like all questions have been answered maybe one observation from the feedback on media.ccc.de you have talks on QGIS and there is also some type of event so if you are into that kind of thing you can look at media.ccc.de so now I would like to conclude the talk and I will also have a look at the pad and see if I can answer more questions now let's free up the slot and I can see the contact details here on the slide and I am excited to see if there is more but enthusiasts incoming at the German Nature Protection Association and I am also willing to take people along with me and show them what I am doing and I would be happy to have participants and you can also have a look at my Twitter account where I post photos of birds and tell you about my daily walks and I can also take people along for my photo walks but it might be less interesting because you are often disturbing the birds and then they go away so thank you for listening thank you for being here

Hello, and welcome back to theCUBE in our luxurious press room, festive green digs that we have here. I think, again, we're at Databricks data and AI summit. I gotta say I'm excited to have Steve Sobel with me because who heads up global industry leader for communications, media, and entertainment. I've known you for at least six months now. We go way back. We go way back. I actually have a sticker from when I spoke at one of their conferences back in December. I was new, you were a good man. Yeah, when I was somewhere else and everything. Now I'm the other guy on the other side of the fence here asking all the fun questions about this. But no, I think this has been great. I gotta say you guys put on a fantastic show this week. The customers have been fantastic. We had Alexander on from the Texas Rangers yesterday. You know, he's more on the sports side of things versus the entertainment side of things. He's not really the fan engagement side of things. But I know you guys do a lot with sports teams. And I know it's just, you know, there's such a wide variety of things they can do with Databricks. Not only in that part, but also on the entertainment side, which is more the traditional what people think of. Help us understand kind of what is that you're doing and what your customers look for? Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, where we find ourselves right now, you know, certainly in the telecom industry, certainly in the media and entertainment industry, we're in this massive time of transformation. We've had this time in media where everyone is going direct to consumer. They're trying to figure out how do we drive better consumer relationships? How do we focus on personalization? Of course, that's all driven by data and AI. On the telecommunications side of the world, you know, we have everyone, you know, rolling out their 5G networks and trying to understand how do we monetize this beyond churn? You know, what are kind of the opportunities we have around monetizing our data? So we've had an incredible amount of excitement this week, simply because, you know, the excitement is powered by our customers.  If you're a magazine reader, Condé Nast, they power all of their advertising targeting with Databricks. So it's really, or companies like Comcast, we power the X1 platform with, you know, when you speak into your voice activated remote, the reason you're getting those recommendations is Databricks is under the hood, so. What's funny is that two out of the three of those, I get more GQ emails than I've ever seen in my entire life, so thank you very much for that. You're a handsome man. You should get those GQ emails. I try to make it, you know, the coif go, right, so. But also, I think you start to look at what they're doing and it's beyond that because I think what's critical to those companies is it's, it helps them with their margins, right? I mean, because they need, from what I've seen from those, that, the media and entertainment industry, they're really leaning in and really leaning in towards the AI they've been early on with modeling on top of Databricks and really pushing you guys, isn't that true? I mean, if you think about it, you know, the whole industry on media, the legacy of media is we create content, we throw it against the wall, it sticks or it doesn't. We're in this time now where consumers have more choice than ever before on how they consume content, where they consume content. The content now has to find the consumer. And that's all powered by, you know, the ability to collect lots of data, the ability to normalize that data, apply machine learning so that you can create differentiated experiences. It's super interesting because I think actually, we're in this really interesting time where media companies are becoming retailers, where they're focusing on consumer experience. Retailers now want to be media companies. They're rolling out retail media networks, they're trying to figure out how do they better monetize the shopper experience via ads? So, even though I focus on, you know, communications and media, I actually am spending a ton of my time with retailers as they're kind of, you know, getting a better understanding of how do they build and scale, you know, sustainable ad businesses. Yeah, and I think that's also it, I think you hit on two things there. It's not only the ad business part of it, but it's the customer experience part of it. And I think that's a huge thing. When I've talked to some of your customers, even beyond the ones that we've had on theCUBE over the last couple of days here, and even before this, they really look at it about how do they make a better customer experience? We actually had the guys from FiveTran on earlier on that helped bring some of that data in for you. What are you seeing from a, how are they pushing the envelope and adopting AI in that way? You know, I think the big trend right now is there's just this huge focus on real-time experiences.  Let's think of it for a moment.  You know, maybe I'm feeding that, you know, behavior into how I make recommendations for content, how I make recommendations for an Omni-Channel experience use case. And the ability to be able to do that in real-time, I mean, we all have these experiences as consumers where, you know, I abandon my shopping cart, I get an alert, or have you finished watching this content? We now almost have, you know, the digital assistance in our lives for every aspect, every application to deliver these better experiences and to deliver more, you know, if you think about media as an industry, I mean, it's really the industry of fun. It's the media of content and, you know, really engagement. So how do you not just let content stand on itself, but deliver those better experiences vis-a-vis data and machine learning? Yeah, and they all have, they're all competing with each other. And I think to your point, everybody has become a media company to a certain extent and it keeps just growing. And, you know, I mean, again, Max, with their name change from HBO, Max, and all of that, and seeing, they routinely reach out to me and say, hey, you haven't watched anything this week. Why is that? We think these are the good things for you to go and watch based on your history and stuff like that, which I actually like. I like the personal experience. How have you seen them gauging how that fits with their customer base? You know, I think there's always this bar around, like as a consumer, what level of data are you willing to give a company in order to get an experience in return? And it has to be based on a value exchange, always. You can't just expect people to give you the house without whining and dining you before. So what we're seeing is a big focus right now on experience, on how do we optimize the customer journey? How do we focus on first-party data collection? A hugely important thing in media right now is what do we do with Life Beyond Cookies? Google's gonna be degrading cookies next year, and this has been a hair on fire issue for the industry for the last number of years, but it's finally coming to fruition that the tool that most marketers and most media companies use to be able to target their consumers and engage with them vis-a-vis cookies is going away. The challenge for the industry now is, well, what do we do in this world? How do we kind of think about, and it's not a technology problem all the time, it's often business process and what is the barrier with which we can collect information? What is the value exchange? How do we think about this more holistically in terms of the full experience? And again, data in AI is really at the core of powering all of that, getting it to real-time, getting it one-to-one, and where we sit in all of that is we see a lot of customers that almost think of us as the glue, meaning you have all of your data coming in, you need to ingest, clean it all, make it perfect so that you can get it out and send it to Adobe, your Salesforce, or HubSpot, your Martek stack. We're seeing more and more a trend around interoperability. How can you basically have it such that you have bi-directional flow of data across the full stack, which really for our customers is all about not only getting value from us, but deriving more value from the application stack as well. What I like about this is that you play very well with your partners in this space, like you have Snowplow on the open source side, you have Rutter stack. You actually, the one that surprised me most about the announcements this week was Twilio. That one was, I think that's gonna open up crazy value for those customers that are over there, because they can now take advantage of what you've been doing for other CDPs in that space to really get, and again, there's five countries still in Europe that have banned Google Analytics, and so beyond the first-party cookie issue, I think that also becomes an issue of data governance, and I think the sovereignty, data sovereignty. Well, you're bringing up a really good point, I mean, it's been a very intentional strategy for us to particularly around like the CDP use cases, clean room use cases, marketing activation use cases of us going out and building partnerships with this ecosystem so that we're not leaving the integration up to our end customer, it's managed by the partner. So Twilio segment, that's one, we also announced a partnership with Brace recently, Habu, which is an awesome clean room partner that's focused on interoperability. They've been an amazing partner, so in the last like six months, we've probably lined up over a dozen different partnerships that are specifically focused on the ad tech and Martik space, and frankly, we're just getting started. We think that there's gonna be a fast follow for the ecosystem when everyone, we're kind of seeing the demand and the pull to us as kind of the data platform. Yeah, I think we could go on probably for an hour, because I think, especially on the clean room stuff and how people are gonna monetize their data in this space, I think that one, we could take a whole other segment on that one, and maybe we'll get up to be able to get you on again soon and go through that. But right now, I wanna thank you for being on. This has been a lot of fun, it's great seeing you again.  It has been. A whole six months or something like that. You can't even blame the pandemic anymore. No, we can't, we can't, but hey, but I'm glad 12,000 of our friends came along to see us get together again. It's been an amazing week. And 75,000 online, it's been fantastic, and you guys put on a hell of a show, so you should be very proud about that. We're super proud, and we're proud of all of the work that our customers do, and super grateful that you could have me on today. Yep, thank you. All right, so that's it from theCUBE here in the Lakehouse Press Room at the Intercontinental at Databricks Data and AI Summit. We'll be back shortly with a surprise guest for you. Take care.


Hi, my name's Daniel Exoey. Currently I'm a teacher aid here at Lockheed Street High School. I was actually a student here from 2008 to 2012. I was school captain which gave me a great insight as to what actually happens or what goes on behind the scenes of the school and I think that's one of the things that really led me to want to be a teacher. Since then I've been studying a Bachelor of Secondary Education. I'm teacher aiding here up until the end of the year and then as of next year I'll be on the teaching staff here at the school. As a teacher aid, a regular day for me starts at 8.30 here at school. I do a staff room check with a lot of the teachers that I'm timetable on with that day just to see where I'll be most beneficial for them. Outside of school I have the odd game of golf even though I'm completely hopeless. Exercise pretty regularly whether that be swimming in the morning before school or going for a run or something like that. I'm 100% happy with the career I've chosen. Everything starts with education whether you want to be a doctor, electrician, working human resources or anything like that and basically I get to go to sleep at the end of every night knowing that I'm helping someone achieve their personal goals. To someone who's considering a career in teaching I'd say absolutely 100% just go for it. Every day I get to come in and I get to meet new people constantly, make relationships with these students and I get to see them achieve and I absolutely wouldn't change anything.
