And this is the show where we follow the journey of three designed viewers as they each take on empty penthouse apartments and transform them into dream living spaces at the Pot-of-Lay Lifestyle Estate in Somerset West developed by Bowen Properties. And in the end, you, the viewer, could walk away with your choice of one of the three completed homes as our grand prize winner. I'm coming to visit. Remember that today we also draw another lucky name from all the entries over the last week to participate in our Capitech Open the Door giveaway where this week you could win either a 5,000 rand valance voucher, a Caesarstone Domino Desk Lamp designed by Dr. & Mrs. worth 12,000 rand or a Daniel Klein His & Hers Watch Set worth 3,200 rand.

You have until 7.45 p.m. tonight to enter on privateproperty.co.z. That way you qualify for tonight's prizes, so hurry, hurry, hurry. Time is running out. Now, before we get into the action and see what the Design Duo's have been up to this week, it's a Thursday. And after all, it's a throwback. So let's throw back to last week. Last week, the Design Duo's were briefed on their first challenge. As they quickly learned, win a home is not for the faint-hearted. We were not expecting that. It's double the trouble. Their mentor for the first challenge, former Winner Home Design Champion Rudolph Jordaan, paid a visit to each Duo to give them some guidance. Any criticism would be that I think you might be using too many materials yet. So just be cautious of how you're going to use it. Team R&K decided to go all-out glam and promised a surprise element. You just have to stick along to see what we've got in glam. At the halfway mark, all three teams were one on their way to completing the two spaces. But will they remain on track as the deadline approaches? With some ambitious ideas planned up front, the Design Duo's have hit the ground running in their first challenge with two rooms to complete. Now the question is, will they be done in time? The deadline day and things are getting really heated. Yeah, we've got about a thousand people working on top of each other. But it's going well. The pressure's on. It's deadline day and we are out collating things from our suppliers. Shopping last minute. We're just hoping that everything is going according to plan on site. It's a big day. Yeah, deadline day. The stress is real, but there's no time to panic. We just have to get it done now. It's crunch time. Let's just go, go, go. The shelf's not here. The shelf's supposed to be there. Yeah, it was supposed to go over here and he's not answering as well. I'll be right back on site. Things are not looking good. I mean, the shelving unit is not there. What do you do? I know. It was crazy. It was insane. We're not going to have it today. Okay, so I'm out shopping. I get a call and it's from Korki. A and I answer. She sounds hysterical. Answers. The shelving is not happening. I need to make a plan B. We'll just have to use Otoman. We have an Otoman that we could use to improvise for now until it eventually comes in. Currently, welding is still going on. We have a few minor adjustments that we need to make, as well as the mirror coming into the Murphy's Law Bed and then a few plants that need to be potted. We chose to use indoor plants that require little to hardly any maintenance because you actually don't know who will be living within your space and whether they'll actually have green fingers or not. The see the stone, windowsills. The concept when it came out was airy-fairy but seeing it being installed kind of actualised, whatever crazy thing we were thinking of at that time. It's come out with a really nice effect.  It's really neat. Our see the stone, hexagon shelving is looking so incredible. Execution to the team. We are so excited. Everything is starting to come together. With three hours left to go, Rudy pops in and he's looking for a task. How can I help you guys? Well, here's the vacuum bro. Have at it. Seeing our collaborative piece with Oliver which was the headboard design feels like creative heaven. Just that softness and that grounding feel of pulling all those walls together. Currently they are busy installing the mirror that is going onto our Murphy bed. They're having to stick it down and then we're going to finish off the rest of the panels. Nothing's working. I understand. But you see, had we done this yesterday we wouldn't have this problem today. So K. Hamile is on the one side and I'm on the other side. We don't really know what's going on. We're pushing. Everyone just thinking it's going to flop is a lot to handle. We're definitely going to get this done. There I am fixing our mannequin. Getting everything ready. Rudy pops in just to see how far we've gone. How's it going here? I don't know. Hi. Okay, so you're getting dressed. Is this a surprise? This is a surprise but now you've seen it. Love it, love it, love it. Okay. Lighting, good. Are you happy? Is it sufficient lighting? So far so good. We can't complain. This is so much to do and it's cramped time so I put him to work. Are you good with the broom? Leaning, I'm really good with cleaning. So, what hand me a broom? Yeah, there's a broom. Wait, wait, wait. There you go, there you go. When you want to start. Maybe the covers are already done here. No, these are done. These are all done. Good, wow. I'm really impressed, really impressed. Thank you so much. So let me start cleaning them out. Yeah, just, you know, see them out so that there's no dust in there. Thank you so much, Rudy. I appreciate it. This is a really hard broom. I draw these my hands. Get your hands dirty. Dino's been such a legend. He's pulled through for us. He sorted out the steel fabrication. He really secured some of those custom pieces in the studio for us. Despite the fact that with only a few hours left to go there's so much that still needs to be done and the pressure's really on. The Amazing Race Painters Edition. We love it. We work our best under pressure and we really thrive under the pump and, yeah, it's our thing. Let's do this. Rudy pops in three hours before deadline. Hey, Rudy. Are you figuring out how to put it together? We don't have much to show him at that time. Folks, that is probably the least important piece. Let's just move on. The legs, I still don't understand how the legs are going to work. We're not so sure if we're going to pull this through. Yeah, I don't think we have a piece of furniture in our rooms right now, so it's... We just have to smile it out. They started out all optimistic, but, oh, the drama has begun on one at home. It's unfolding. It's unfolding. A home's going to look absolutely incredible and you can enter our grand prize competition on privateproperty.co.za by voting for your favorite design, Joe, and that way you can stand a chance of winning your choice of one of the three apartments at the part of a lifestyle estate at the end of the competition.

Do you want to take a little moment to get to see what's going on? A little bit of everything is going on. You guys have got two hours. Why is this place such a mess? And on the outside, we're like, we're fine. But on the inside, we're just screaming, get out. It's time to push now. It's time to push. I'm going to leave you to it this time. I'm going to go check out what's happening next door, right? Sweet. Looks super stressed. The position is what it was. How's it going in here? Good. Does it look good? Yeah, great. Just picking some a few things here. This does not look like this should be like this. There's two hours to go. We're just remounting for everything to go on. Is this that new post-pix you guys wanted? Yes. And it works perfectly now. Thank goodness. It's chaos. They seem pretty okay. Okay, you're painting fast facts on Dile. One hour. And then we're taking all this stuff off site. Gentlemen, gentlemen. This is chaos. What is going on? We just put up our ticket fence. I don't think Danilo could have pulled in at a worse possible time. I mean, just leave us alone right now. We're trying to operate. Yeah. And the rest of the space, you guys have two hours to be done. Everyone else is basically finished. You are probably the furthest behind. You'll see the bed. Semantics. A semantics. Semantics. Two hours, gentlemen. Get to it. Get to it. Come on. Literally two hours to go. Freaking out. Oh, wow. Dan pops in. We've got two hours to go. And I can't believe how much we've got done since this morning. I mean, we might actually pull this off. Yeah. We are interior people, man. We make things happen. Yeah. That's what we do. Lastminute.com and those are looking epic. Thank you so much, Danilo. So this is a call to say, guys, we've got two hours to get everything done and done. I don't want to see the wall. I want to see perfection. Got you. Go, go, go, go, go. Okay. Bye. I'm not going to lie. This last two weeks has been intense. It's been crazy. But at the same time, it's taught us a lot about how this challenge works and how we're going to manage ourselves going forward. And just like that, it's deadline for Challenge One of Winner Home Season 5.  Will they be done? I surely hope so. You ready? The horn sounds like Armageddon. Gosh. The last thing we need is the horn going off. Honestly. The horn's just gone off. It's finished. It's done. We did it. We finished it. It's over. It's good. It's done. It's finished. Come, come, come, come, come. Deadline. Drop what you're doing. So what trouble or design beauty awaits us? Stay tuned to find out. The first challenge has been tough. You know, the past two weeks have been hectic double room. Oh, goodness. I mean, I'm just glad we're done. Yeah, it's really all up to the judges now. We're done and dusted. Shoo! Deadlines. And so, too, you have reached your deadline to be eligible for tonight's capital open the door competition. All entries received from now on will qualify for next week's door prizes. So don't stop entering once per day on privateproperty.co.ca. It's time now for our design contestants to reveal the end results of a double-spare room challenge. First up, it's Team R&K. Team R&K. The glam room is finally revealed. Yes, it is. How are you guys feeling? Excited. It felt great. Walk me through your ideas in the space. We wanted to create a more functional space, right? That includes everything that a woman needs. Glam station. This is where she'll do her makeup and get ready. We have like a low occasional chair over there. Very rustic. But this is where she sits and reads through the latest magazine. And I see you found a solution to your shelving problem. A great designer will find a solution. We solve them in housing, in homes and all of that. So yesterday, yes, we had a concept of a floating shelf and it just didn't work out as we had planned. So we had to make something happen and literally we had about 40 minutes to make it happen. And we did. And then over here we have our glam closet where she gives all her beautiful clothes. And then over here which she will use to dress up. So that's the surprise you guys mentioned at halfway? Yes, this one. Love it. And of course our painting which has a pair of red bottoms. Also that's also very contemporary and there's a language there's something that's happening over there. And that was the big collaboration in this space, right? Oh yes. It was a collaboration between ourselves and Donna. Donna Sullivan who's an illustrator. And that picture frame was also a collaboration with Caesar Stone, correct? Again, it was just because Caesar Stone usually people use it for kitchens but wanted to play with it in a space that is unconventional. The judges are obviously going to walk in here and you wanted to spot the highlight items. What are those for you? Our mirror. Right behind you with the lights. Or with a glam room you need lights. So when you're doing your makeup the light station perfect. Our low chandelier over there. Beautiful contrast gloss and a little bit of black. And our mannequin of course because this is it's unconventional what are you concerned that the judges might not appreciate in this space? Well, I'm thinking the length of this opening over here if we had the mannequin a little higher then it would have meant that the person living in here would not be able to reach it. So that spacing in there they should have known. I would hope that they appreciate the fact that we have these high, high cupboards with collaboration with cozy homes because I mean it's usually people cut their cupboards just a little bit lower but I think the high there's an illusion of space everything is stacked away neatly so she gets all of the space to play around it's not clutter and I think that they will appreciate our use of plants again it adds to the whole essence of health feeling good upliftment everything was raised strategically done we could have also gone for the chandelier in the centre which again everybody does they must appreciate the little things that we've done Let's move on to the next room Thank you Welcome to our sanctuary If you throw yourself in this bed it's so soft Yes it is This is our guest room and it's an amazing don't you feel like rest when you enter the space it's so beautiful we love it we really do so we went for a white bed because we feel like white is a coming colour it's natural it's neutral and of course we went for floral curtains because it's about rest whoever comes into here is trying to escape from their place so we want them to feel like they're on a holiday You've mentioned that the space is quite restful you can see that in the space but what's going to be the wow factor because this is a design competition Definitely these Hexican cut Caesar stone pieces because they are bespoke and I think right now Hexican dine season we've seen so many of them So many We could have chosen to just put a painting here which everybody does and of course our room and cut blinds they're so stunning adding the floral element was very important to us we wanted it to feel like escapism very very refreshing again feeding into the whole idea of rest The space is looking lovely it's all up to the judges now good luck to both of you Thank you Bye guys Bye All that said just for you to share your thoughts with us hashtag winner home do you like team R&K's glam room I think it's looking absolutely incredible don't forget to find us on Twitter we're at winner home show we've just received 10,000 entries for the competition currently on the website in the first 15 minutes of the show so if you haven't yet entered over the last while make sure you get as soon as possible while I'm on the device I thought I'd hop on to Twitter to read some of your comments that you've been leaving with that hashtag and I thought Tumelo had kind of wrapped things up so well with his tweet the first one says I see the drama is starting to unfold on winner home that's exactly how we're feeling in studio as well just feels like it was all fun and games in the beginning now things are getting serious and Durbanite for life it's his name is Mark Nidoo says I have faith it will win a home because Nick was tweeting to say that oh my gosh he doesn't think they're going to finish and his partner in crime on this competition was just agreeing with him will they be done we're going to have to wait and see share your thoughts who's your favorite design deal use that hashtag winner home so we can find your tweets coming up we take a look at what team contrast control and the perma peeps have created for their first challenge you stay right where you are get credit for the right reasons up to 250,000 Rand based on your need Capitech welcome back to Winner Home on SABC3 where the stage is yours now with only two weeks to design and complete two spare rooms for their first challenge our design duos had their work cut out for them from the get go as part of the brief one of the spaces had to be something other than a guest bedroom and the perma peeps came up with an innovative solution hello perma peeps well well done this has come together so nicely thank you so much we were feeling good very good about the space and our intentions was to create a very minimalist multi-functional space that brought in our perma culture elements by bringing in nature and plant life to really create a very relaxing clean environment to come and kick back do some yoga you can get a little bit of work done or creative things and just a multi-functional space in general stunning what for you were going to be the standout items in this space well we have two surprises in this space we have a fold out Murphy bed as well as a fold down desk so that's one of the surprise elements in this room is that it really is multi-functional in what you can utilize the space for whilst not being in your face and what do you think their concerns are going to be I mean we are in general actually quite proud of what we've achieved there are a few snags around the room in terms of painting and things like that that we'd like to fix but other than that we're actually very happy with the result now show me the big surprise of this desk that folds out yes definitely so you just push to open style that is you've got a little pin board if you want to keep little notes inspiration we've got a little stool that you can pull up and take a seat at which is a lovely African organic texture with the natural root and yeah so you can use your desk as and when needed and if you don't you just fold it back up very very cool element I like what you've added to the space it was a double challenge so you take a look at the next space let's go welcome to our spare bedroom guys this is stunning thank you very much tell me about the design aesthetic here our design intention behind this space was to also keep it very minimalist and simple bringing in our permaculture plant elements as well and yeah to also bring in some personal touches handmade elements our hand woven plants and our hand woven headboard which we've named W.A.H. headboard the winner home headboard there's actually 3900 knots in this headboard and 500 meters worth of hemp rope and it did take us around 24 to 30 hours to do so I'm glad that you guys got that done in Duster because that must have been a headache for you two in this competition tell me about this closet space it's very bare and open yes well we are strong advocates of the minimalist movement we feel like people do have too much stuff so what we've found is if you give too much closed storage options the more you fill the space so having it be open forces that you actually have to consider what you're hanging and putting in the space to really promote people actually thinking about what they own and what they display and have in their space so it becomes more of a display space as well as a storage space and yes it does mitigate people hoarding stuff behind the cupboard's closed doors at the end of the day guys it's up to the judges good luck to both of you I wish you all the best thank you very much no ways gents this is looking incredible when I came here at the halfway mark this was just chaos yeah it was insane and all of the emotions we finally got down with it though now walk me through the vision of this incredible room our vision of the space was trying to make it cozy we incorporated the carpet from Belgatex who were amazing and then reflecting on the timber we just wanted to reflect the kind of timber that's on the floor at the top so we added that picker fence that you were so concerned about we love how the CCA finish is like light green kind of picks up and yeah how it brings in that natural texture and one of the criticisms that we had before was that there was going to be too much materials and too much going on but I think it's come together really nicely and one other thing would be the building covers where we've tried to keep it subtle with the wall but also have a kind of impact with regards to the shape adding triangles in there for shadows within that little niche in there and also our pedestals I'd say are quite feature pieces totally I mean that was a fun little relationship that we had from before with The Stale a furniture company in George that I worked for previously I did a internship there so we've incorporated two of their ranges one in here and one next door and then obviously our main collaboration which was with chiral interiors for the headboard and I think they did a fantastic job indeed yeah it looks incredible Jens well done what are some of the things that you think the judges are going to notice that they maybe might not appreciate one of the concerns of the carpet because it is carpet and I mean maintaining carpet is way more harder than maintaining floor planks another thing would be maintaining like just cleaning the picket fence bulkhead that we have got a dusting involved yeah it is a little bit lower than what we wanted so I mean ideally we'd like to raise it by like another 150 some people might have a problem with that but it also does out a cozy element so we just have to see it's a personal thing right let's look at the next space welcome Danilo to our little studio slash reading nook I would spend a lot of time here guys this is awesome tell me about the ideas yeah we've got amazing Ibiza linger from Veilance also this artwork from Veilance really bringing a pop of colour and with so much going on in this space you must have a particular favourite piece do you? I'll seize a style in a window box and we bought that across from the other room as well we just wanted also to incorporate alternative methods of storage which we used through steel sheeting we just bent it into shelving and then we just put it onto the desk because we felt that the user might need to actually function in this room without relaxing so that's the desk there which we think came out really nice and relating back to the guest bedroom we also just wanted to put into this good luck to both of you there on their way thank you thanks Danila I'm pretty sure you have a favourite thus

live a seamlessly connected life with the Samsung SmartThings app welcome back to Winner Home tuned in to South Africa's favourite design show competition our design duos were thrown a curveball up front having to complete both spare rooms for their very first challenge but now it's up to the judges to decide who knocked this one out of the park we hope that the judges appreciate what we have done design contestants congratulations on completing your first task on winner home season 5 it was a double challenge and not an easy one but each of you pulled off some incredible designs congratulations all that's left is for our judges to arrive to view each apartment and then to give their all important verdict the judges are here dun dun dun the judges are here they are Steven Brooks from Bowen Properties Brian Courtney from Private Property Bruce LeMatole Kabu Design Architects and finally Rudolf Jordaan mentor and guest judge for this challenge the judges are here and it feels like dun dun dun dun dun dun the stress is real I feel like we should have baked them some cookies or something like the classic estate agent trick yeah, yeah, definitely we personally hope that the judges notice how diverse and multifunctional our spaces are as well as the small personal DIY touches that went into it what the permapieps have done with their guest bedroom was really cool those solid blinds were very effective one big negative was there was zero storage space so things like shoes, socks delicates you can't put them anywhere I love the room I think the element of surprise is really brought in the textures that they use are really exciting but I think in executing the details some of the little things were not thought of for example where do you put your shoes, your delicates where will I put my real cool stripey socks I really do like the hip-hop that they've put together I have appreciation for the amount of time they've spent on this it's a tactile piece of art rather than a headboard since you will still be bumping your head against the wall I think the room's been staged really well and if you look into cell or rent department art it definitely adds value for example these steel and glass doors is an amazing value add love the angular structural steel work matches the building could clean lines something different really enjoy it sure looks like something's missing in this room why don't you check out what's behind that mirror no it's a mirror guys nothing else oh wow mirror's on the floor something different that looks like it folds it's part of the linear it's been thought through very well that spare room was amazing there were a lot of surprises and then what about he's even extra long man hey Steve what else do you think is in his cupboard let me get this bed out come on wait wait this thing's gonna fall now watch the lights alright this thing's moving there we go whoa okay the challenge with that desk is if I lent it it felt like I would fall through so that can't be a good thing but the concept was amazing really good concept the idea of multiple purpose I find that actually quite good and I think once again the downfall was just the issue of understanding materiality the structural components of how things actually work how far does a desk span before it starts to wobble I love this cork it's a very great idea great idea on the positive side I really like the panna board out of cork it has a beautiful texture to it it's tactile and it contrasts with the plants used in the space I really hope the judges love our space because there was so much effort and sweat that went into that I really enjoyed this room I felt it was really good the colour green is a really cool colour the caesar stone window reveals really really exceptional detailing very cosy kind of room with the carpeting the curtains that were completely heavy hotel style curtains really made it a inviting place to sleep in I feel like I want to just lie down here and have a good two hours slough as my Jewish friends would say the guys' fair bedroom felt quite like a hotel room to me it was cosy and that wooden ceiling felt very rustic it didn't feel like it really went well with the styling in the room very luxurious room nice carpeting good bedding lovely window treatment the one negative is definitely the ceiling feature they lacked a little bit of discretion in just appropriating their ideas but I commend them for actually trying and actually pushing the envelope in my opinion they probably pushed the envelope the most in terms of just bringing in ideas that distilled making their own furniture and that type of thing so they really engaged with the space this really is a lovely room I do like the colours of the room the desk the structural integrity of this desk is much better and ample storage space yeah I think this room is actually quite exciting and conceptually the use of a day bed versus a couch the framing of the window the ceasar stone conceptually though there's quite a number of ideas but I think they've gone quite a mile in making things themselves and thinking about every nook and cranny in the space yeah the studio space is amazing I really like that Afro chic that brought into it mixed with the industrial feel to me that feels like a bit of a man cave I could use that as a home office any day love the room love the audio floors really cool the art is fantastic I'm a collector of art so I love it the vogue and the Monet the front with the African theme is really cool this room is I think the word everyone is looking for here is eclectic they have put together a beautiful curation of things and it's interesting to look at and just well put together these past two weeks have been really really hectic you know it's quite nice to finally chill out and relax while the judges are actually checking out our apartments yeah and it's actually the first time when we actually get to sit with all the other jewellers and just engage and get to know them a little bit better it's been really awesome and of course using our Samsung phone yeah so awesome I really hope that the judges appreciate what we have done especially with design you know those hexagons we add in our guest room they were carved and designed by ourselves Team R&K's guest bedroom was really functional I think it was well put together didn't blow my mind but I would certainly have a guest of mine stay in that room I think there was enough sufficient storage for shoes and the shelves on the side added a lot more interest generally consumers really enjoy that when looking for property oh this is stunning wow lovely textures love the Caesar stone absolutely stunning choice really well done cause this is normally a work top totally different really love it love the plans love the books really well done R&K's Caesar stone shelving was amazing but the rest of the room lacked a little bit of imagination and they missed a great opportunity to show their design skills here I think the blinds the choice of textures and colours is actually quite interesting I wouldn't have thought of it yeah I love it oh wow look at this this is beautiful ooh chocolates eat well, train hard friends uh-uh don't mind if I do with the R&K with the glam room I think it it captured the VC concept it really worked the black and the reds you know the whole treatment of the space it was very open I think if you look at the context in which the elements had functionality that was maybe lacking overall very lovely to look at very plush and yeah exciting enjoyable space lovely textures Team R&K have done some extreme things in this room it's amazing I mean that's quite over the top but I think it's spectacular this to me is a complete surprise they used the cover of the VC magazine the red and the black in it and I can see that they did the frame out of Caesar stone how cool is that R&K really boldly over with this room it is meticulously beautifully executed they took all my lighting comments into consideration and it turned out great the use of space here was very very good I mean the floor to ceiling mirrors really give a height to a very very small room so I thought that was very clever yeah I'm a bricklayer by profession so you know this room is a bit much for me sure it's very glamorous but I'm sure my wife with a collection of shoes would absolutely love this she probably says to die for it's unbelievable well it seems that all the spaces were a huge hit with the judges but what do you think don't forget to hit us up on social media and use the hashtag winner home you could be reading your comments alive on air one that came through was from Durell and she says winner home exciting times for

Hey, good morning ladies and gentlemen. I'm Captain Lavin, Chief of Staff for Second Fleet. Welcome aboard USS George H.W. Bush this morning, the establishment ceremony of Commander Second Fleet. The official party is about to arrive. Will the guests please rise for the arrival of the official party and remain standing until completion of the invocation. Vice Admiral, United States Navy, arriving. Fleet forces arriving. Naval operations arriving. Pray the colors. Chaplain Thames will now deliver the invocation. As the soul, Mr. Wrights, blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Let us pray. Almighty God, look with favor upon the United States Second Fleet. From the founding of this nation you raised up sailors who took to the Atlantic to fight for the sovereignty of a people and defend the sanctity of an ideal. Today we stand in the heritage of the likes of John Paul Jones, Edward Preble, Stephen Decatur and countless others whose service we honor and whose legacy we pledge to uphold. Nimbue in Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis, the wisdom, skill and determination to forge this fleet into a finely honed instrument of war and an indefatigable bold work for security, stability and peace. Lord God, may it please you to temper the steel of our lethality with the discipline of duty marked by excellence. May it please you to calibrate the moral compass of our conscience to the ideals for which we stand ready to fight. May it please you to embolden our spirits with the grit to prevail over every enemy and the grace to stand before you as humble warriors. In your holy name we pray. Amen. Will the guests please be seated. Ladies and gentlemen, Commander U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Commander U.S. Naval Forces Northern Command, Admiral Christopher Grady. Good morning. On behalf of all of us here on the dais I welcome Congressman Scott, General Mercier, Admiral Nielsen, Admiral Flanagan, Admiral Keaton, Mayor Alexander, Mayor Fram, and our many distinguished guests and elected officials. Active and retired flag officers, senior executives, government civilians, families, friends, shipmates, welcome back to the Norfolk Waterfront. I'm also delighted to see many important allies and attendants this morning as well. You honor us with your presence here today. And a special welcome to all of our veterans here in attendance. All of us owe all of you a huge debt of gratitude. Whether you serve for four years or for 40 years, your dedication and devotion to your Navy and nation is recognized here today. And when we look back at the architects of the Rock Salad Foundation, the excellence upon which we stand, it is our veterans who deserve this worthy recognition and we're honored to have you in attendance today. Now certainly you couldn't have asked for a better morning for today's ceremony. And I'm not certain who ordered up the weather, but well done. But I'd like we should give credit to the captain and crew of this magnificent worship. So how about a round of applause for the team that pulled this together? Whether here today to formally establish or re-establish the second fleet here in Norfolk, I think it is worth noting what has driven us to this event today. What was the catalyst? And to me it is clear. Our nation and Navy is once again being challenged at sea. Our sea control and our power projection, two vital elements of our national security are being challenged by resurgence of four powers, namely Russia and China, both seeking to supplant the United States as the partner of choice among free and prosperous nations. And we as a Navy, as a nation, have not had to confront such peer competitors since the Cold War ended nearly three decades ago. Simply put, the days of competition at sea and challenges to our maritime security and superiority have returned. As our former second fleet commanders here with us today, Admiral's Flanagan, Williams, Chanuk and Holloway, all veterans of the Cold War will certainly tell you, near peer high-end competition demands much of us. At the top of that list is an elite lethal force and culture of professional surface undersea air, intelligence, information warfare, logistics, special operators, all operating with a sharp and focused mindset centered on excellence and lethality. It demands steadfast leadership and dedication to the mission of credible deterrence and when required, prompt and sustained combat operations and victory at sea. And speaking of leadership, our second fleet will be led by a proven combat aviator and esteemed naval officer, Vice Admiral Woody Lewis. You know, in the Navy, we put a high premium on something called local knowledge, knowledge of the local tides and currents, the surface, subsurface and air traffic, local trends, history and relationships. Woody Lewis represents that local knowledge. He is certainly no stranger to the Norfolk waterfront as he has executed multiple tours in the Hampton Roads area and if I counted correctly, I think it's seven tours here in Norfolk. Clearly the right man at the right time. Indeed, Vice Admiral Lewis's experience with the challenges of the Atlantic coupled with his key knowledge of our AOR and indeed the entire globe is the right answer at the right time to command the second fleet. So Woody, Christine and I welcome you and Mary back to the Norfolk War Room. Your challenges will be many. However, given your dedication and proven leadership, I know that you are up to the task and indeed it's great to have you alongside and I look forward to our future endeavors together. Now ladies and gentlemen, it's my very distinct pleasure and great honor to welcome another tremendous warfighter and leader as our presiding officer and guest speaker today, our boss and the leader of the United States Navy. Please join me in welcoming our 31st Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson. Good morning everybody and it is wonderful to be back here in the Norfolk waterfront. The best thing about the weather today is that it shines so brightly and clearly on the fleet that's out there and so really you kind of want to ask everybody to turn around and look that way because that's where all the action is out there and you see all these warships pointed to sea and you get a sense for what we're here for today. You really get that tangible sense. Chris, thank you so much for that terrific scene setter that you provided in that warm introduction and as we stand here on the deck of the USS George H.W. Bush, which is in such great shape Captain, thanks so much. You do get a sense for the gravity of this moment. I got to tell you as the Chief of Naval Operations it is not a bad day when you are standing up a fleet. That is a good day and so we'll take some time this morning even with the brilliant efficiency of this ceremony we'll take some time to just appreciate what this moment means. Congressman Scott, as you know, we've been down here Norfolk a bunch and we've had a number of these changes of command and you have been present for everyone. I think it's a symbol of the support, certainly your personal support, but also the support of Congress which has done so much for the Navy and the nation and even here in the Hampton Roads area. So, sir, thank you very much for being here. It's wonderful to see you again. And for all of our allies and partners, thank you so much for being here and especially to the former commanders of the Second Fleet waiting for this moment probably in fact in the reception before they said it's about time, right? I mean, it's really kind of been a little bit too long, right? So thank you very much for coming. I will tell you why are we here? Why do we take this moment to stand the Second Fleet back up? And I think that at the most fundamental level this is the U.S., the United States and the United States Navy's dynamic response to a dynamic security environment, an environment that was very well laid out by Admiral Grady and an environment that is clearly articulated in our national defense strategy. And if we just pause to appreciate that environment, you start to appreciate also what is called for in response to that environment, to meet that environment at the relevant levels of speed, capability, and capacity, all right? It will require every ounce of our tenacity, our ingenuity, and our fighting spirit to focus on this mission and focus on how we can best accomplish the mission. And the Second Fleet will be our spearhead doing that for the Atlantic. Maintaining America's maritime superiority that will lead to maintaining our security, our influence, and our prosperity around the world. And dynamic response really is nothing new to Second Fleet. If you think about the history of Second Fleet, it's got a history of adapting to rapidly changing circumstances. It originally stood up in 1950 in response to the changing dynamic after World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. And so one of the very first missions of the Second Fleet is when President Kennedy charged the Second Fleet Commander to address the situation that we now know as the Cuban Missile Crisis. And so here we are, the emergence of the Soviet Union in the early 50s, the realization that we needed to adapt to stand up a force to confront this threat in the Atlantic, to appreciate the Atlantic as a continuous operational space. This was the original mission of the Second Fleet. And to address that Cuban Missile Crisis, Second Fleet went right to the very highest end of naval warfare, commanding three carriers at the time, the Essex, the Enterprise, and the Independence. This was one of the Enterprise's very first missions that she took on when she went down to do duty in the Cuban Missile Crisis. And then, you know, things changed, right? This has been some of the most rapidly changing security circumstances in our nation's history over the last 50 years. Soon, you know, fast forward, it was the Second Fleet that responded to urgent fury at the order of President Ronald Reagan and the invasion of Grenada. It was the Second Fleet that trained and certified all the forces that went forward to fight in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. And so when you think about that context, that it, you know, adapting to change, confronting this rapidly dynamic security environment, nothing new for Second Fleet. And as Admiral Grady alluded in his remarks, this new dynamic, prompted in part by a resurgent Russia, the National Defense Strategy made clear that there are countries, once again, competing to define this area, not in the interest of opportunity and equality for all, but on their very restrictive terms. And once again, the nation and the Navy is responding. U.S. naval forces operate globally from the sea floor to the stars and in the information domain to deter aggression and to peacefully resolve crises on terms acceptable to us and our allies. But make no mistake, if that deterrence fails, our fleet, now the Second Fleet included, will conduct decisive combat operations and bring that to a close, a quick close. For our Navy to achieve the objectives in the National Defense Strategy, we must embrace every avenue to gain and maintain the competitive advantage to maintain our maritime superiority. The United States, as I said, is a global power. And when we think about achieving and maintaining that competitive advantage, we've got to think globally, and that includes the Atlantic, particularly the North Atlantic. And so the creation of the Second Fleet, this recreation of the Second Fleet, represents the establishment of a well-forged fighting force with a fighting mindset, restoring a large-scale ocean maneuver warfare formation dedicated to the Atlantic Ocean, responding, restoring dynamic maneuver in response to a dynamic challenge. Now, dynamic maneuver, what is that? Well, I think there's sort of three types of dynamic maneuver. First, there is maneuvering up and down the spectrum of conflict, and the Second Fleet will be doing all of that. From partnership building, from conducting exercises with our partners and allies, from being present at those very important and influential parts of the world on one end and the competitive end, ready to transition, if necessary, from competition to confrontation and to conflict. This maneuver, up and down the spectrum of competition to conflict with agility, will be one of the hallmarks of the Second Fleet as we move forward to make our Navy more supportive for our allies and partners and impose more cost on our adversaries. Another type of dynamic maneuver is simply geographic maneuver, all right? The new Second Fleet increases our strategic flexibility to respond from the Eastern seaboard to the Barrett Sea. The Second Fleet will approach the North Atlantic, as I said, as one continuous operational space and conduct expeditionary fleet operations where and when needed. And in doing so, it will enhance our alliances, make them stronger with our NATO partners and other European security partners through exercises and combined operations, particularly at the high end of naval warfare. The third type of dynamic maneuver is the maneuver and agility in developing new capabilities and new concepts. And as an organization, Second Fleet will have a central role in pioneering new and experimental concepts of operation and capabilities, restoring this sense of exploration and curiosity that has been a hallmark. It's in the DNA of the United States Navy to be a learning organization. And I look forward to seeing the Second Fleet experiment with and learn from our allies in this regard as well. And in doing so, we'll ensure that we are learning and adapting faster than our adversaries around the globe. So the combination of these three types of dynamic maneuver, the maneuver up and down the scale of competition, the maneuver geographically across the Atlantic as a unified operational and fighting space, and conceptual and capability maneuver up and down technologies and concept development. This will be the hallmark of the Second Fleet here in Norfolk. It will enhance our responsiveness, invigorate our historic alliances and strategic partnerships, and contribute to a much more lethal force. That's exactly what is called for in the National Defense Strategy. As a prime example, as a precursor to what lies ahead, we need no further than what we are seeing and what we are employing with the USS Harry S. Truman Strike Group, conducting now a working port visit in Norfolk during her deployment, which has included conducting strikes against ISIS, conducting major force exercises with our partners to improve our combined punch at sea, and has experimented with new concepts and capabilities, again at the high end of naval warfare, as part of her certification to go and deploy. There is much more to come. More to come with Harry S. Truman Strike Group and much more to come with Second Fleet.  And we are fortunate, so fortunate, first and foremost to have Admiral Chris Grady here at the helm of U.S. Fleet Forces Command. And since we announced the intention to stand up Second Fleet at his change of command earlier this year, Admiral Grady and the Fleet Forces team have steamed at all ahead flank to bring us to this day to establish all of the infrastructure and do the spade work to bring us here today. And we also have dynamic leadership in Admiral Woody Lewis, the new commander of the Second Fleet. As you heard, a distinguished combat aviator and seasoned warfighter, but I would also say an eagerness and insatiable curiosity to learn to get better with every day and a deep professional humility which characterizes Woody in terms of his approach to leadership, realizing that he is not the source of all good ideas and that most often the good ideas are resident somewhere in his team and he is an absolute master of drawing those good ideas forward to the betterment of everybody involved. And Woody was also fundamental to the intellectual work to stand up Second Fleet. It was, you know, up on the Op-Nav staff that he did all of the hard work to conceptualize it. He made this bed and now he's got the privilege to sleep in it. So Woody, it's so great to have you here. Mary, also wonderful to have you here. Although I did get, well, and daily dressed down by my wife Dana that somehow I let Mary slip out of the Washington, D.C. area and come on down here to Norfolk, but it's in the best interest of the nation. Okay, I promise. Okay, in conclusion, let me just say that as this day has approached there has been a lot of speculation that the stand up of Second Fleet means that the United States Navy is posturing or even looking for a fight. And I'll tell you what, nothing could be further from the truth. But as our first president, George Washington said, to be prepared for war is one of the most effective ways for guaranteeing and preserving the peace. We're not looking for a fight, but the best way to avoid a fight is to develop the most powerful and deadly and competitive Navy possible while strengthening our combined naval power within our alliances and expanding our maritime partnerships. And so if called upon, have no doubt. We're not looking for a fight, but if we need to the Second Fleet will conduct decisive combat operations to defeat any enemy. They will be at the lead of those efforts. So to the team taking the watch of Second Fleet, your efforts are absolutely critical to maintaining our Navy's fighting edge. To the sailors who will operate from sea floor to space in the information domain under the command of this fleet, you sail to defend freedom as soon as you clear the sea buoy and the challenges hit you right away as soon as you go feet wet, as soon as you rig for dive. You will be out there on the vanguard at the pointy end of the spear defending this very fragile thing that we call freedom. So let's get to it. Thank you all very much.  Ladies and gentlemen, Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis. Will the guests please rise? I will now read my orders from Chief of Naval Operations to Vice Admiral Andrew L. Lewis, United States Navy. Subject CNO Order 1808 when directed by Reporting Senior, Detached in July 2018 from duty as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans, and Strategy, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Reporting out later than August 2018 for duty as Commander of the U.S. Second Fleet. Captain Lavin, break my flag. Aye aye sir. Officer of the Deck, break the flag of Commander Second Fleet. Bandmaster, sound off. Your flag has been broken. Very well. Will the guests please be seated? Ladies and gentlemen, Commander of the U.S. Second Fleet, Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis. Good morning, everyone, and I'd like to add my welcome to everybody that's in attendance here. It is great to see a bunch of old friends, and I hope to be making new friends as we re-establish ourselves here in the Hampton Rose region. I am grateful to the good Lord for the opportunities that this day is giving you. The primary calling on this earth is as a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a friend. It is with great humility that I stand here representing you this morning. Thank you for being here. It is truly a blessing to be able to earn a livelihood in service, service to our families, our communities, the Navy, and the country. CNO, thank you for your trust in me. For over 70 years, our world has enjoyed unprecedented freedoms. Freedom from hunger, disease, oppression, freedom of the seas, freedom to pursue education, and freedom of speech. Those freedoms were established by an American-led system and enforced by her military. As Americans, we consider those freedoms to be birthrights, and indeed they are. But they are not free and cannot be bought. We must continue to earn them the willingness to sacrifice and be prepared to fight for them. There are some bad actors on the world stage. We call them competitors in our strategic documents. They intend to undermine and rewrite the order that America established at the end of World War II and threaten the very birthright freedoms that we hold sacred. Over the last 20 years, we have become complacent, even in our native. CNO recognized that and one of the decisions he has made is to re-establish a second fleet. Second fleet has a storied history and will honor that legacy. However, we will not simply pick up where we left off. We're going to aggressively and quickly rebuild this command into an operational war-fighting organization. We will challenge assumptions, recognize our own biases, learn and adapt from our failures so as to innovate in order to build a fleet that is ready to fight. A couple months ago, I ran into Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon. After I managed to stumble through my greeting, I reminded Secretary Mattis that I was the officer that he approved to command the second fleet. He acknowledged my comment in true Mattis style, he simply stated. He makes sure that fleet is ready to fight. That's pretty clear guidance. Second fleet will be ready to fight so we don't have to. Our mission is to operate the fleet as a maneuver force. To do so, we have to train as we fight. A football coach I admire very much likes to say, there's no such thing as a gamer. Someone who shows up thinking he is ready to perform on game day without putting in the time during practice. That is particularly true in fleet operations. What does train like we fight mean? What does it look like in the context of naval operations? In a couple days' time, about 60 feet above your head, the flight deck on this mighty warship will be humming with activity. Launching and recovering aircraft day and night in all weather. During a typical fly day, the carrier will launch and recover 100 missions. There's no place on earth more dangerous and no other country in the world can safely execute carrier operations with the same intensity and tempo the US Navy team has been doing routinely for 80 years. Because it is so loud on the flight deck, every sailor and marine wears a different colored shirt. All with critical roles. The plane captains wear brown. The tractor drivers that move the aircraft around are in blue. The sailors that fuel the aircraft are in purple. We call them grapes. Ordnance handlers wear red. Maintenance personnel wear green. And safety and medical personnel are in white. Finally, the yellow shirts are called directors. And they are the quarterbacks of the flight deck team. Perhaps more appropriate the conductors of the orchestra. The average age is 22 years old. I've had the great honor of attending yellow shirt meetings on numerous occasions. And the intensity is akin to a Super Bowl locker room. The difference is that if one of the players on the flight deck misses a blocking assignment, the risk is more than a loss of yardage. It is a risk to life and limb. These meetings are extraordinary to witness. On September 9, 2001, I was an F-18 pilot assigned to the USS Enterprise. As we transited through the Strait of Hormuz, the maritime choke point at the exit to the Persian Gulf, on our way home from a peacetime deployment. On September 11, things changed. We were extended and I led a strike in Afghanistan from the deck of the Enterprise from the Indian Ocean. Operations on the flight deck were exactly the same that night as during training missions. That's what training like we fight looks like. We've been charged with building a fleet that can perform in perfect harmony in the same manner. The men and women of the Second Fleet are the yellow shirts of the fleet. These individuals have proven their competency and have been chosen because of their warfighting ethos. Second Fleet's mission is to maneuver and operate all assigned units with the same precision, intensity and tempo of the yellow shirts who direct flight deck operations. The elements that comprise the Second Fleet will be tactically independent, but synchronized with a unity of effort assured by clear commanders intent. Second Fleet starts with a sailor who manned the warfighting units up and down the East Coast and includes the organizations and individuals readying our Navy ships, aircraft and submarines for high-end warfare. Second Fleet includes our Marine Corps brothers and sisters. We will work closely with the Second Marine Expeditionary Force in training and operations. Second Fleet includes the military sea-lift command and her merchant mariners who on a daily basis provide crucial critical logistics, strategic sea-lift and specialized mission support 365 days a year. Second Fleet will operate in the Atlantic in coordination with the Fourth Fleet in Mayport, Florida and the Sixth Fleet in Naples, Italy. The men and women of the Second Fleet will regularly work with the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard as well as hand-in-hand with our allies and partners to ensure freedom of the seas are maintained. All of you here today will directly contribute to the success of the new Second Fleet. We cannot do what we do without the support of our family and friends. Your support matters now more than ever. As we move to employ our forces more dynamically, our friends and families will have a bigger role in that fight. Second Fleet is an example of where we are mobilizing the Navy to meet the challenges of the global security environment. And Second Fleet is nothing more than an element in our global Navy readying for one fight led by Commander United States Fleet Forces Command Admiral Chris Grady. Every sailor and marine around the world, whether at home, underway off the coast of Norfolk and in North Atlantic, transiting through the Panama Canal or on Liberty in the road of Spain is in the fight. The security environment we are in is a competition, but it's not a sport. Our globe is not divided in courts or end zones. It is not defined by periods, halves or quarters. And there are certainly no TV time-outs. We must be vigilant. We in the Navy are America's away team and Second Fleet stands ready. We will take our place on the team, be ready to fight so as to maintain the peace. In conclusion, as we re-establish our new legacy going forward, I'm reminded of what President John F. Kennedy once said, Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. Freedom we will prepare to fight for our freedom. Prepare to fight so that we do not have to. Sino, Admiral Grady, put the Second Fleet in. We're ready to fight. God bless you all. God bless the U.S. Navy and God bless America. Thank you. Will the guests please rise for the benediction and remain standing for the departure of the official party? Let us pray. Lord God, bless, preserve and keep the United States Second Fleet. May your infinite wisdom instruct us. May your boundless spirit embolden us. May your mighty hand strengthen us for the hour of battle. May your inexhaustible mercy receive us when our duty is well and truly done. Bless the men and women of Second Fleet that we may serve with honor, courage and commitment. And bless our Navy, these United States of America and all who will stand with us as beacons of liberty and justice for all. To you be the glory. Amen. Bosen, post the side boys. Hey, the official party will now depart. Naval operations departing. Fleet forces departing. Second Fleet departing. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Admiral Grady and Vice Admiral Lewis, thank you for attending today's ceremony. You're cordially invited to reception in Hangar Bay 1 to your right. After a brief media event, Admiral Lewis is looking forward to meeting you in the receiving line. Also, for guests interested in taking a tour of the carrier, there'll be tour guides provided on the other side of the Hangar Bay door. Thank you.


All right, thank you very much for joining us today. My name is Yuji Yazawa from Toyota Motor Corporation, as well as Vice Chair of the Soda Governing Board and Chair of the Soda and User Advisory Committee. Today I will facilitate this session and talk to you about overview and mission of Soda Foundation. After that, Kei Kusunoki from Entity Communication will talk to you about the projects. Yuzou from China Unicorn will talk to you about YIG projects. Then Vivian Su from Intel will talk to you about outreach committee. Each person will speak for about 10 minutes for a total of 40 minutes, with five minutes left to QA. Okay. In 2016, Dell EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Huawei, Intel, and Vodafone funded OpenSDS. We got increasing requests during discussing OpenSDS and many companies including Toyota joined to OpenSDS. With the majority support of OpenSDS members, we are transforming the project into Soda Foundation. Soda Foundation is a home for OpenSource dealer and storage projects. As you can see, many major companies joined to Soda Foundation. The Soda Foundation provides an open, collaborative and newer home for project stakeholders to coordinate the development and community investments in the Soda ecosystem. The mission of Soda is to foster an ecosystem of OpenSource dealer management and storage software for dealer autonomy. To offer a new forum for cross-projects collaboration and integration to provide and use as quality end-to-end solutions. Today, there are many challenges such as dealer silos, non-standard interfaces, support solutions, and something like that because our environment is being too more complexity. I actually used to work for Yahoo! Japan Corporation as a principal storage architect. There were hundreds of storage systems and several petabytes of storage devices there, managed mainly by me. In fact, we were operating with only three people, including me. As shown on this slide, we had no choice but to avoid increasing the number of storage types as mixing different models and necessarily makes management more complicated. That's why even if there was a product we were technically interested in, we couldn't easily introduce it. This is a very sad story of missed opportunities to gain experience as an engineer. Anyway, it can be said that the configuration described in the slide not only lead to complicated administration, increased operational costs, and locking, but it also take away the opportunity to even take new initiatives. Soda is a single-dealer framework connecting different solutions into seamless end-to-end solutions. This framework is open source, allowing any developer, vendor, or end user to build and expand upon it. If we had Soda when I was at Yahoo! Japan Corporation, even there were only three operational members, the operational load would not be too high and we would be able to take on new challenges. Soda is an open source, unified autonomous framework for dealer mobility from edge to core to cloud. The key highlights is open source, standardization, ecosystem, and certification. Soda Foundation is overseen by the governing board and supported by the Technical Stealing Committee and User Advisory Committee and Outreach Committee. Technical Stealing Committee lead two-link projects and oversees collaboration with AppStream. And User Advisory Committee is a forum for end-user companies to discuss and exchange information on use cases and requirements and to provide feedback on Soda testing. Outreach Committee oversees evangelizations, communications, outreach, events, and training. From now, Kei Kusunoki from NTD Communication will take over and talk about the projects. Kusunoki-san, please start your session. Can you hear me? Okay, so hi, this is Kei Kusunoki. So I'm chair of the Technical Stealing Committee, working on NTD Communication. And today I'd like to introduce the project to any Soda. So we were formally organized this. As we had changed to Soda, we organized all development activities. And we shared the project list. We made the three-project category. The first is core project that is mainly open-sidious development activities. Four-project deal with fundamental center part of data-alternate autonomy architecture, like we'll... Okay, sorry, the first is core project. And the core project deal with fundamental center part of data-alternate architecture, like most soundsbound API, programming, storage infrastructure management, et cetera. It is initiated by formally open-sidious community and now governed by Soda community. Of course, every Soda release will contain new core project features over improvement. Next is native project. This category is for donated projects that was developed by SADA party or Soda member. Soda welcome new storage project to open data autonomy ecosystem. We support this native project to work with corporate, but the original organization can govern the project independently. They can choose whether their software version is pushed to Soda release. For example, next, for example, G release. And we are now S release. So now let me talk about example. For example, G release has new future from native project, but the next HD release doesn't have anything. It is optional for Soda release. And the sub is eco project. As you know, there are so many open source projects that are deal with Soda stretch data directory in directory. So to achieve open data ecosystem, it is significantly important that these open source software can use Soda work with Soda. So we make eco project category for such open source project to show that we are trying to build Soda ecosystem together. Of course, eco project is managed, governed by other open source community, don't follow Soda release. But Soda community will support specific use case or integration or something like that. So this is a landscape of our project. Top line is eco project. Currently we are working on two projects, Open EPS and Kubeh edge. And the middle line is native project. YIG became Soda native project to donate in their code to Soda. It will be introduced later by Zouyu. Additionally, Lin Store and Zenco have discussed to the joint. Finally, bottom line is core project. We have API, controller, match crowd, probably dog, dashboard, it's a step forward. Let me explain core project, seeing Soda architecture overview. So this is a Soda architecture overview. In Soda architecture, core project is located at the center. It's a kind of hub from Northbound, Kubernetes, OpenStack, VMware platform or any other application can use Soda through API. The programming and to Southbound, Soda will orchestrate traditional storage LA and software defined storage. And in terms of East Westbound, Soda form data lifecycle management through match crowd, like AWS, Azure, Google, and so on. Next. So here is a list of essential core projects. And so yeah, of course, we have more dashboard of infrastructure management or something like that. So this is detailed diagram about architecture I wanted to explain it, but unfortunately I don't have enough time today. So advanced session about core project and architecture will be provided in Soda mini summit, right, second, I appreciate it if you could join it. Lastly, I'd like to talk more about native project. As I said, YIG is only native project and we are discussing with Denko and Linstor. While we have kept trying to make new friends, we are working to crystallize Soda Incubator program. So this program has governance policy for each project. It covers the proposal process, growing process, review process and the accept time for each test. Besides this program, we also considering complete benefit and the support from Soda Foundation. So by these program, we hope to continue expanding Soda ecosystem presentation. So final part is, yeah, actually it's kind of hand over to Yuzo. So this is YIG project. So detailed presentation is next talk. So yeah, thank you so much for the missing. So Yuzo, are you okay to the presentation? We will introduce our YIG project. And I will introduce YIG from two pounds. The first is, the first, I will introduce the architecture YIG on some basis. In the early stage, we use the staff of Riddles Gateway as our obligated story stories. But along with our business girls, we need some problems. For example, if there are too many cells in the bucket, it will take longer time to return to list objects in the bucket. This will slow down the request of the user. And also in a larger self-clutter, if we do some intention of the server, the recovery and the backfilling will introduce some proper cross-system performance and it will slow down the user request also. Because Riddles Gateway can't share the cache, it will be difficult to use the simple cache in the Riddles Gateway. So at that time, we tried to find some solutions to all these problems. But unfortunately, we didn't get a solution in the Riddles Gateway. So we decided to develop a project that is YIG. In YIG project, we make better pooling performance for metadata because all the metadata are saved in YIG and managed by YIG. And some other other library functions, such as log static capacity and user authentication are moved to other systems. And also many YIGs instantly can share the same simple cache and also this improved the cache performance. And this is the architecture of the YIG. YIG can manage multiple self-clutters. So the self-clutter in YIG the self-clutter in YIG just provides the basic IOS storage and all the metadata are used in YIG and management managed by YIG. In the bottom, they are self-clutters and they are managed by YIG cluster and all the metadata are saved in TIDB company. We use TIDB for our metadata management. But you can use your favorite data-based data more because YIG has abstracted the interfaces for the metadata management. And also for authentication, you can write your authentication, apply it in the YIG and it will serve your authentication purpose. And for YIG metadata, currently we save the metadata into TIDB and because TIDB is built in the database system and compared with the Metcicle, there is no low number limitation in a single table and it is very easy to perform with Pension. So the list object in YIG will take a short time than that in Riddles Gateway and by using this kind of method without the problem we meet in the Riddles Gateway and for file processing, YIG will classify two kinds of files according to their size. YIG will handle the small file and this kind of small file can be saved in whole in set cluster with replication enabled and another kind of file is the large file. The large file can be saved in set pool and it is easy enabled. Because it is easy, we can save the storage space and that's all from YIG project and welcome to use it and try it. Okay, I'll start. Here's Vivian, I'm based in Shanghai and this is early morning. Okay, so session and currently I'm working for the in-care storage domain. And today, there's some delay to switch the pages. Okay, so hope you can see it. Okay, so yeah, today I will talk about the solar global community including what is solar foundation and solar governance and also how the global outreach community. And so our major focus today for this session is more about the outreach committee. We will also look back key events happened organized by outreach committee and happening in the last one year. So as introduced at the beginning by Yuji that solar foundation is a solar foundation that aims to foster an ecosystem of open source data and the storage software for this autonomy. And you can see that there are many customers, many companies joined at the foundation of the solar and the including China Unicom, Fujisu, Toyota, Huawei, and many other companies here. I will not just go through them one by one. And so if you look at organization on the solar foundation, you can find that. So we have four, there are three major committees here, committees here to support it including the technical steering committee on the bottom left to block and use advisory committee other EU AC on the middle block and the outreach committee showed on the bottom right to block. So what's the major goal of the outreach committee? Outreach committee is responsible for the event they've been keeps as a continuous communication for the committee health events and provide training to stress the solar community. And in different chairs, we have according outreach committee and they're also, you know, they are the country we have five outreach committees located in North America, Japan, China, India, and the Europe. In the past 2019, solar committee hosted multiple events along with global open source events. So we have the last year, we have the Kubokon Barcelona in Europe. At that time, we have the mini summit of solar in early May. Kubokon China in Shanghai in November, cloud native days in Tokyo and open source event in India. All of the events, you can see the solar meetup or mini summit or according talks. So you can just replay their videos showed up in the, you know, in the video. And then in December, in Tokyo, we hosted the solar formation meetings at Sony, Tokyo headquarters, more than 25 organizations, participants in the solar formation meeting. In December, along with China, Unicorn World Cloud Summit, so the China committee was launched. There's a bit of delay truth just to change the presentation. Hope you, we are on the same page. Yeah, currently I just moved to the solar formation pages. Okay, so in Europe, since year 2017 for the first solar member meeting, every year we have according events or meetings to have a call speech or to do the demo or project Jeff to join the solar foundation. And just the updates by the, by you, so you can find that either projects is also donated and they're joined into the solar foundation. And so let's go back to the US. There's also so many technical forum and the events or a conference happened there, right? So that's why, you know, in each second though for a conference, we also have according speech there to promote the solar. And also, you know, such kind of communication and the events will continue to happen in this year. So, but unfortunately due to their outbreak or coronavirus for year 2019, all offline events has been canceled or be postponed or just the changes to the virtual events to us. So, but to move into the Q3, we are a Q3 and Q4 of this year. We have planned multiple events and the work on all your guys can participate. In Q3, SOTA mini summit in North America and we also plan the solar days at Microsoft in August in India. In September, global intensive, there's so many, you know, intensive events happens there, I include in the co-operative. They see in Tokyo, so their former forum are always Kubernetes. So the forum Japan and the SIGNA SCC in Senkara. So all of that kind of events will also have according in power sessions for solar. In Q4, you will see that SOTA forum in India open for infrastructure submit in Berlin, SIGNA SCC in India and OSS in Dublin. In November on Kubekaw Boston, you will see SOTA forum there. So moving to the December, then it's foundation member forum in Tokyo. You also can just see SOTA and also can have the conversation with the team members from the SOTA. So whatever we should say to you are located in, you can participate according SOTA events and also we wish we can see you there. So this is all for the update for the outreach committer in the past one year. And also, you know, moving to this year, we hope we can have more, you know, events and can talk with you offline or maybe just virtual and also working new join into the SOTA foundation. So that's all for update from me and thanks for your time. And then we will move to the Q&A session. And oh, by the way, thanks all our previous speakers from UJI, K-EASL, and now we hope co-develop the code that you present for both sessions. And this is topic for a new home for data and storage collaboration. I'm moving forward, let's go to the Q&A session. So welcome to raise up any questions and also, you know you can just raise up question to the specific speakers or just ask questions to ask all the guys, thanks. So is there any question about our session? All these, it seems to be nothing. All right. So thank you so much for attending our session. Thank you. Thank you.


and lastly, setting expectations before activities. Autistic individuals might find it challenging to infer expectations, so let's make it crystal clear for them. For instance, if it's about putting away laptops instead of a vague, put them away, be specific, say something like, put your laptops away and make sure they're plugged in. Specificity is the name of the game here, making instructions clear and easy to follow. Have you heard about chi-coil PEMF therapy? This technology uses frequencies that help with autism to enhance focus, improve communication, and nurture cognitive development for a brighter future.
