So that should go Okay Mars Mars The last 20 years or so here in America this place startin those like Mars man. This is a We're cracking up.  This this place is starting to seem like it's Mars But there's another Mars in the Bible. Let's go through it for a minute. All right Act chapter 17 as usual Paul got ran out of another town and He ends up in Athens What is that? That was the you know the Las Vegas of Nevada It was the biggest city The main city in Greece, right? And he's hanging around Athens. He's walking around The town and he starts to notice something here it says his spirit was Parox uno agitated stirred up revived as he walked around Frustrated when he saw that there were so many idols in Athens And he says he went into the synagogue.  He met with them and Says disputing Idols idol worshiper. What's that telling you the Jews as usual had back slidden again and gone into idolatry in Greece and Paul's trying to get him out of it and he says certain philosophers Philosophus is the Greek word for philosopher. It means people who are fond of wisdom. I Took an introduction to philosophy course in college. We didn't know what it was about But you had to take introductory classes When I got out of high school We weren't sure they were gonna Stop drafting people You know where they were drafting them be it not and The boys were kind of starting to come home by the time I got out. I Thought well, I'm not gonna chance this So I they said your draft number chance of being drafted would drop If you were a full-time student, so as soon as I graduated I Immediately enrolled and Became a college boy. He had to have at least 12 credits. One of my credits was introduction Philosophus because I was fond of wisdom. That's why I went I work I didn't get drafted I was never drafted anybody remember Vietnam you think things are crazy now Wow was that nuts? People were going over there and getting killed for nothing When I say nothing, I'm saying nothing zero 500 dead bodies a week for nothing. Can you say Afghanistan? Wow, I can't believe America got involved in that again after the ups. I started to drift off there Stopped some said what will this babbler? say Sperma loggus is a weird word, isn't it? The concept was in that word It actually technically means means a seed picker and it was it was a bird that would like all birds go along the ground they pick in the seeds, you know and They equated that to male sperm Because males spread their sperm and birds pick to these seeds and so they called it somebody who is Spreading and picking up different thoughts and doctrines and teachings and idle idle worshipers Is the way they came to that it's a weird word And he says what is this? He seems to be a setter for a of strange gods now that was Mis-translated the King James by the Xenos Dominion means means Foreign demons and it's funny because of the in the Corinthians Paul told the Corinthians that all the gods of the Gentiles or the nations were actually What? demon He said they're demon That's what he called it. So all the gods are the other religions Paul said We're demons because he said there's only one God There's only one baptism there's only one gospel There's only one saving there's only one spirit That's a Paul said and There's only one God and father Who is above all in in you all he said and everything else he said was a demon mother Mary's a demon Allah demon Hindu gods Buddha who else John Smith, it's my neighbor This guy's got problem with our neighbors Rick here get rid of that guy. He preached to them Jesus the resurrection They thought They thought that was that he was teaching about demons. They'd never heard anything like that They couldn't believe it. It was a wildest story.  Oh, you know this then People in Missouri when they give you directions.  I know all about people Well, they this wasn't that they actually took him they were so enthused and excited over it They took him and took him over there physically You can tell they're all jacked up the bottom They bought it brought him to Aerophagus what is that? That was the Supreme Court of Grease where's our Supreme Court? It's not by John Smith's house. It's in Washington DC now the Supreme Court is the highest court of the land here in America all other courts are Beneath them correct and at the bottom is traffic court He says we want to know what you're talking about here this new doctrine. We want to hear more about it. He says and This was an actual picture of part of Mars Hill Can you imagine it? Here it is again They took him to Mars Hill and right next to it was the Supreme Court of Athens. It's right here This used to be all built up here. It's all ruins now There was a one of the front there's the front entrance to it right there and Then next to it was the temple the temple of the Supreme Court of Athens and The center of idolatry in Greece. Here's another view of it It's all ruined now. Here is part of the temple Where they had idol worships They had hundreds of different gods in Greece and here's the stadium But they held their services in Kind of like the Coliseum down here on the Dowel About same size Things huge the temple of the gods they call It says you bring certain strange things to our ears We want to know what this means. They said so they took him over to the Supreme Court the Athenians and the strangers spent their time in nothing But telling or hearing some new thing And that's what they were looking for something brand new So they got all excited about it Here in America we've had Christianity overload here and Nobody really cares about it It's a story everybody's heard over so many times. It's a lost its value If you hear something over and over again, and you don't do anything about it It becomes nothing to it It's just like another thing. Yeah, right now here in America People are turning on Christianity like you can't believe it seems like they hate Christianity It seems like they hate Jesus People are pitching the fit over an activity signal, but nobody ever says anything about Muslims Nobody criticized me but Christianity is trashed from pillar to post now It's amazing how the sentiment has just shifted in just ten short years quite remarkable Christianity is really being trashed now here in America why Hey People have heard it so much and it's a religion of peace You don't want to start trashing Muslims You know what?  They're not going to do anything about it Whatever So they just trash it means nothing anymore But you can't trash Islam you get trouble bad trouble So these guys want to hear something new Okay, and Paul stood in the middle of where Mars Hill up on that hill He said men of Athens. He says I perceive that in all these things you are to superstitions as I passed by and Beheld your devotions Subhasma means Something that you adore that is a huge problem for Christianity America People that put everything ahead of God, but you name it God's down here career vacations fishing trips Family Sport you name it everything is Adored Beyond the Lord It's weird here. There's any weird He says I look by I saw all these things that you're devoted to all the things you adore, right? He saw all these statues of different gods Head bus all kinds of stuff was an athlete He said I I found an altar with this inscription To the unknown God. That's a Greek word Agnostos where we get our English word Right agnostic. What isn't that agnostic? I don't know You can't know nobody knows. I don't know you don't know That's an agnostic What's an atheist an atheist does know There is no spirit world There's no God. There's no demons. There's no angels.   It's all fake Atheism Agnostic they should be fighting the atheists Wait a minute. You don't know that Yes, I do No, you can't know that I Know that say there and atheists and an agnostic can't get married Too many arguments Now in Athens like it like in India for example in several of the countries Most of the Middle Eastern countries you cannot Visit there and then bring in some other God That's illegal You got to get special permission to tell somebody something new Yeah in India for example, I Had some friends of mine. They were Related to one of my wives Ex-wives They came up with this cockamamie concept, and I'm not making this up. I make up most the other stuff up with this I'm not They got involved with this church and I've never even heard of it before So I thought this sounds like a cult They said We have we're trying to raise money to go to India to live there and make friends with the Indians I said What are you going to do it after you get there? no, we're just we're just going to be friends with them and I said, well you you're this is a religious group right you're gonna be preaching the gospel like missionaries No, no, we can't do that We're not allowed to do that. That's illegal. We'll get thrown into jail. I said What are you going over there for? We're just gonna make friends and show them that we're nice people and then when they ask us about our Christianity What we can tell them but they have to ask us first Then it's not illegal.  Well, that's how this organization runs it we we go over there we Rent a house we move in and make friends with the neighbor. I Said well, that's totally unscriptural that That's not a missionary venture Doesn't make any sense so they go over there anyway spending thousands of dollars I Said I the oldest daughter breaks her Yep The husband Starts to crack up. He can't adjust to their lifestyle He can't adjust to the poverty He can't adjust to the neighbors although they're nice people and He can't adjust to them bending over backwards to help all these Indians The Indians that were Muslims. They let them use one of the bedrooms for a prayer. I Said you you've gots to be good You're letting demons come into your house. No wonder your your husband's losing his mind and your daughter's injured Yep, well to make a long story short. You couldn't stay over there if you didn't have both couple there So the husband cracked up a Stress-related illness come over and he had to come home. So that shut that whole system down But they'd made a lot of friends there. I didn't make that story up That was a religious organization that sponsored that trip. I am not kidding And it was about 12 10 12 something 14 15 something $20,000 Cranked on that see and I told them I said listen Yeah, I'm not part of the family anymore. I know that but if you pay me 20 grand I'll be your friend I mean I offer I'm trying to help The helpful person so Paul divinely inspired looks at this Plack and he sees unknown God Okay, so I can talk to them about Christ because I Want to reveal the unknown God to them and I'm not going to get arrested Because it's a God they already have Had he come in with a new God he would have gotten thrown in prison wouldn't be able to help him Okay, so this one here. I want to reveal to you. He says whom therefore you in ignorantly What that's a bail Holden adoration and reverence You do it ignorantly. He said I'm gonna tell you who that God is And I won't be getting arrested because you've already got him Okay, and I'm your friend Listen to these divine truths. They're fantastic. He says God may now these are Gentiles not Jews God Made the world and everything in it seeing that he is the Lord of heaven and earth He does not dwell in temples Made with human hands Because right next to Mars Hill is the Supreme Court and the temple of the gods that I showed you that picture of So they've got all their gods inside a temple and Paul is explaining to them that the real God is Too big to be put in a temple Since he already made everything you can't keep him in a little temple and if he made the universe and Heavens in the earth that temple over there doesn't make any sense and there's an actual picture of it See this is the earth here, but that's a bet that's a Incorrect picture. I guess it's flat There's the universe the God who made the universe Can't fit in a church building here or in a temple He too big for that Paul says Okay, I'll get a different earth there and get a flat one next time So there it is again What he's saying is the God who created the universe is too big to live in that place It's he made everything Right neither is He worship is he worshiped with men's hands as though he needed anything What do you usually do with your idols? Well, you want to be good to them You want to please them you want to get on their good side. You want them to like you very very Very similar to a dating service So what do you do?  You bless him with it or her Correct. Well Paul saying look now listen to me God who made everything Doesn't need anything from you See his logic here.  He's appealing to their Common sense He has made This is interesting all People of one blood of all nations and He made them to dwell on the face of the earth. What's that mean? We all came from Noah That means we're all related that means if you've got half a brain, there's no racism There can't be any racism if I'm related to you if I see blacks as inferior to whites How can that be if I'm related to the black person? Doesn't make any sense and Paul saying everybody's related. We all came from Noah. He has determined the times Appointed and the bounds of their habitation. What's he talking about now Genesis? the Tower of Babel God Switched everybody's language So if you don't know Portuguese You don't even know what to call the hammer and you that you can't even say that Why you don't know Chinese? So what do you got to do? Well, all the Chinese people got together at the Tower of Babel all the Latinos got together all the Indians got together. I'm making this up. I'm going but All of the people who had the same language got together Duh, why because human beings like to communicate with each other. They like social media And it says in Genesis that God scattered human beings all over the planet That's how they got from the Middle East to Antarctica Now the people that drew the short straws They they got ended up in Antarctica the ones that got the better draws ended up in white But anyway, however that worked the Bible says God spread humans around the planet. That's how they got there Somebody didn't swim from the Mediterranean Sea The floor didn't happen God didn't he says I said that they should seek after him if our If they conclude They might feel after him and find it What's he saying that God who made everything in the universe God who created everything in the universe wants you to hunt him down Why?  What's that mean? He's omnipresent That means he's everywhere at once. How does he do that? No, I don't know but the Holy Ghost you know somebody here tonight And somebody in Australia At the same time How's he do that? The Holy Ghost yes, how's he doing? Then he says in him we live and move and have our being what's he saying hey listen now. He's talking about God's What?  He cannot do that and nobody can force it. What's he doing here? He's appealing to the He knows these people are thinkers They're Gentile thinkers and they like to think about religious things. They like idolatry. They like the spirit world They've got everything now all kinds of religions all kinds of mystics All kinds of people that believe in the supernatural and they all wanted to hear something new Why because none of the other gods fulfilled a hundred percent of their needs. It was always deficits The unknown God could fulfill their needs as you as your own poets have said he's talking about a guy named Aratus He says we are he is offspring game us means Generational human beings were created Like a jet a generation that goes back to God If you run all the way back to your very beginning where would you end up? Mount Ararat eight guys fell out of an art and I'll tell you what they Did not smell that good you imagine 40 days? What does that mean your distant relatives stunk What's he trying to say there? Hey, God created humanity and all of our generations go back to him is what he's saying We are his offspring as much then as we are the game us offspring of God generation we ought not to think of the The us What is that? That's what we call the trinity the trinity is in this order father son only go Neither one of them are better than the other one. There's just a structure to it and they don't get out of their structure Same thing with what? Damn, hold on lady father All right, mother regret and God said hey, that's the order of the family none of the family members are better than any other family member But God is a God of order and structure When you don't have order and structure you have chaos and You do any family counseling I have over the years When this structure is jacked up The family's jack no offense We should not think of the Godhead to define divinity like Stuff he created gold silver stone He's telling them hey these things you built here That can't be God since God Himself created everything he couldn't be one of these They can't create anything and he said acts 17 verse 30 the times of this ignorant God winked at Who breathe of what does that mean? He louded it to go. He let it go Why The cost of Calvary He let it go for thousands of years. Why because God At the appointed time Fixed the whole mess and from that moment on He no longer winks at idolatry And demonic lies Since the truth has completely come the truth had not completely come for Moses Samson Enoch Noah They all had only a portion of the truth now because of the cost of Calvary God no longer winks at or allows the other to continue Now he commands all men everywhere to Oh, I hate to say this word because it's Christians. They have rashes Matano ale means to remember what it means. It was a military term, you know, it means that Christians here in America don't like to repent Okay, because they see Christianity like our country a democracy See, it's not a democracy in Sudan or Saudi Arabia. There's no democracy there right You get out of line you get Murdered and chopped up and put in suitcases and taken out of an embassy That's what happens there. Why it's not a democracy They don't vote there Saudi Arabia the kingly tribe runs the country here in America We vote Let's take a vote on it In politics they vote but cheat but anyway, it's still a vote It's some form of voting even though it's like it's all cheap a lot of cheating Christianity Christians in America think think is a a democracy That's why it's so screwed up It's not a democracy Okay You got a follow order where people die You don't get to decide What's right? Let's all vote on it. There's no voting getting a Christian to change is like Clearing up a bad case of Ebola You can sit and talk to some Christians till you turn blue in the face And I mean, that's that's true if I was an African-American.  Let's vote on it. Who wants to go to Burger King who much good taco bell Let's vote on it. Well, I snipe here tonight When she was young give the idea of battles her mother She's not here and her mother Was desperate to have kids and couldn't have them so she had children late in life She had a son and she had a daughter Karen was The mother was so happy to have the kids that she was overprotective and She was afraid something what happened to and she tried to make them happy all the time When you try to make all the people happy all the time you end up with none of the people have happy nobody's happy What she used to do and get in the car and so let's go eat and The son would say I Want Burger King?  There's none of that This is God's word and You do it that way. I did I say that all the time in counseling sessions. I Translate it gently, but it doesn't matter where you thump it out or you Love it out.  So what does God do because he loves you? He lets you do it your way you got free will you do it your way. Go ahead marry him. Go on. Oh What happens then? Now you're drinking again Why?  It's not a democracy. It's a loving monarchy It's not like Saudi Arabia where you get on the line. They assassinate you chop you up and put you in a bucket Okay, that's their business father would never do that now God require Everyone should be a parent that in the popular message. You won't hear that at the mega church, but You'll see it here. Why? Because hey Ortizzo God has determined a Time for you. There is a time Coming for you When you have to answer for your life You've got to be kidding you have to answer for your life as a Christian at the judge preceded Christ You have to answer for your life as a sinner at the great white throne judgment What you do now How you act now what you say now is being recorded in Eternity, here's the best thing to do like I Heard what you said, you know what I screwed up so much. You wouldn't even believe it year after year decade after decade.  Why do it? Grace and mercy is staring you in the face You have every opportunity tonight to change Every you've had so many chances been unbelievable You've had one chance after the other as the good Lord on judgment day will say hey there's no blood on my hand I gave you chance chance To change as a person You had every opportunity What's he gonna do?  He's playing favorites. He can't do it You gotta answer you gotta answer. She doesn't get off That's American justice this guy gets hose that one gets paid off That's America. No, that's not divine justice The vine justice requires every person be treated the same correct it's God's equity and God has picked out a day to do it There's a day picked out for you. What day's that? He's not gonna tell you why? One guy said to me. Hi, this is Christian. I don't understand it Can you explain to me? Well, I'll try I'll try well How come how come a lot of these people get the sin all their life and then they get saved when they're Dying in the hospital that don't seem fair. I said, you're not understanding the concept of it It's a soul that sinners that so die. Whatever you so that's what you'll reap. You don't get to sin It's not like it's a tremendous benefit for sinning. That's what the guy said to me He couldn't understand it and this is a man. He says I don't want to get saved now I want to keep sinning for a while.  God has determined it and Guess what? It's a it's a scary day Because it's a day of righteousness I'm a deathbed repentance is I've had a few they're fantastic They're great, you know the person Screwed their whole life up and Repented on their deathbed, you know, I'd like to have one a day I love them but That person there's no rewards and glory for that person when they die Yeah, they they they make it to heaven. That's great.  That's our concept of heaven. That is not true at all The Bible doesn't say that we don't even stay in heaven. You only go there temporarily We all live here on the planet earth in the new Jerusalem and the overcoming Christians are the ones that rule everything The non-overcoming Christian Don't But they're there So we want everybody there. Don't get me wrong Don't say anything negative about it. I'm saying You have every opportunity to be an Overcomer and a ruler in the New World Order the real one But you must change now you must repent now to do that That's why we do deliverance around here because humans cause people to live disruptive Unproductive lives. What is that yield in the end? Someone who barely gets saved if they get saved at all all their work is what hey stubble Poopy it's all nothing and it's all burned off They go into the New World Order. No no rewards. No authority. No Come on now Why do this Christian thing and end up a nothing than a nobody?  Through the cross and the resurrection of Christ, that's the thing that generates your faith in God God paid for your sin God paid your penalty God gave you a second chance It was all him. It was nothing of you. You did nothing to earn. You did nothing to get it God gave it to you and he also gives you a measure of faith To believe oh not come that they can't be true Charles Manson. No when you don't know You weren't there when Charles man was five six seven years old. Okay. We only saw him when he was insane He raised him from the dead. That's the trigger for your faith Not like all these other idols in this temple See what are you doing? When they heard about the resident direction of the dead some people mocked him start laughing at him Right parable of sour Rejection is part of the gospel. It is it comes with a system Everybody gets rejected what Jesus tell you to do when you got rejected. He said hey Kick this dust off your feet Delete that house and just simply go to the next one Chill everybody gets rejected including Paul Others said we will hear this matter again.  There's no reason to be a hurt or upset over that's how it works Most people are not going to change. They're not gonna repent.   It's not a sin to do that. He left However, certain men clave to him that means That's an old King James term. What's that mean? Yeah, I stuck with him They're still hanging around him. He had a posse as I would say now A mom among them was the honestist. Who was that guy? That was an interesting verse. He was one of them judges of the Supreme Court in the temple One of the big shots stayed it's unusual Supposedly that was his wife They're guessing Man these idols of Athens they had hundreds of Hundreds of them and so did Egypt who were they?

It's the first time We ever got any actual research on what's happening to human beings and the high-tech age It was a $400 million study from the National Institute of Health They tested 4,500 children and the results showed that using these devices video games iPad Two hours a day causes brain damage to the gray matter of the child's brain Seven hours a day causes the structural damage to the gray matter It causes the cerebral cortex of the brain to thin They took a survey of the multi millionaires That live in Silicon Valley, California That may be the richest area in the entire country not sure about that one of them In 2017 they did a survey of The people who make all these high-tech devices Most of them are in Silicon Valley. They're all filthy rich They did a survey of them 907 parents Google provides services to schools Right correct why are they doing that? Because they learned something from the tobacco companies Back in the 40s the tobacco companies knew That if they got somebody to smoke as a child or a teenager The earlier they started smoking They would get them hooked for life The earlier they started These high-tech multi millionaires in Silicon Valley Know that as well Now in our society the average child Get some kind of a iPhone or trigger phone cell phone at age of 10 Why do they want them to have it at age 10? So they'll get addicted to it. They took another survey of billionaires in these companies Guess what these people all have in common The people who make all this technology and I become billionaires off of it Guess what they all have? Steve nailed it They send their children to schools who do not use high-tech devices They send their kids to schools That use paper and pens and read books You know why they do that? They know it damages the gray matter of their brains That might be true, but the scariest part is The technology that's not made for that they know is the strong our child Children's brain and they don't let their kids use it Seven hours is now causing brain damage and it causes children to develop clinical depression behavioral problems Fighting stride disobedience rebellion Because they're on a screen of some kind all day long and they know it and And they don't let their kids do it. Oh, I ask you questions.  Social media screen They now know They now know it causes Brain damage. What's far worse than that? Is you having idols in your life causing them spiritual damage?

Of course things will change. When a parliament reassembles after an election, they like any organisation and take some time to sort themselves out. This is a great opportunity for us. You remember Roosevelt was approached by one of his advisors and asked for a particular policy to be instituted. Well, Roosevelt replied, look, I'm sympathetic, but you have to make me do it. And that's our circumstance. As the parliament forms and finds its feet after the election, then it's a time for us to make our presence feel very strongly. And also in a fresh parliament, they have a lot of room to move. You know, parliamentarians, I speak to many of them, they don't want this hanging around their neck like an albatross. They want to be able to say to people when they travel overseas that they look after Australians. They've repaired the problem of Julian Assange's persecution. They want to be able to say that. They want to be able to be reminded by the President of Azerbaijan in some sort of trade consultation, reminded by him that, you know, what about Assange is morally destroyed, physically destroyed. What are you doing about that? We have no leverage while ever in negotiations while ever. Julian is in the circumstance that he is and that the continuation of a policy which might merely be acquiescence over the unfolding of time becomes complicity. It's inescapable and cruel and demotes ourselves. Then we can fix it. Can we talk about your contact with Julian through his childhood? It's part of the story. It isn't part of the story. The story is that, you know, I'm attempting in my own modest way to get Julian out of the ship. Julian Assange is the hero of our time. He was the darling of the left. All of a sudden, he's a puppet of Russia. My name is John Shipton. I'm Julian Assange's father. WikiLeaks found that Julian Assange has been arrested. One of the most notorious and controversial figures in custody. Assange will remain behind bars until that extradition hearing which has been set down for the end of February. I urge the Department of Justice to drop the charges. The maximum jail sentence of 175 years. Because he published the truth. How does it feel to be the father of such a controversial figure that he's not known around the world? Was that him on the phone before? Yeah. What are you talking about on a regular basis? If Julian is extradited to the United States to face these charges, he will be the first, but not the last. What are your worst fears? That it just collapses under the strait. It looks as though what jails do for a living is seen to be criminal act. Shipton, keep it up, man. Thank you. I wish I had your energy. I really do. I've done it. I've done it. I've done it. Why do you think there's not a great public love and support? This is really a truly a good question. What's at stake? If he goes down, so will journalism. But if people walked away from this film understanding you, how would you feel about that? We're here and this has only come about because we have a child in the ship and we're only getting him out.


Java has the character data type, abbreviated as char. It's expressed as a character in single quotes, or a unicode character in single quotes. Characters also happen to be 16-bit integers, so we could say this, though it is not recommended. If you want to determine whether a character is uppercase, lowercase, or a digit, you can write code like this, where you compare the character value to a range between lowercase a and lowercase z, uppercase a and uppercase z, and the character 0 through 9. This won't work correctly with unicode, because the numeric values of C-sedilla, tilde n, and the Arabic numeral 3 aren't in the ranges for the encoding of a through z, capital A through z, or 0 through 9. Instead, use these methods from the character class, which take unicode into account, and will classify the characters properly. Strings, which consist of more than one character, must be enclosed in double quotes. Notice that the data type is a capital S string, because string is a Java class, it's an object. A backslash in a string allows you to enter what's called an escape sequence, such as the new line, backslash n. Or, if you can't type unicode characters directly from your keyboard, unicode sequences, such as backslash u00e7, which is the C-sedilla. You can also use backslash double quotes to put a double quote inside of a double quoted string, or to put an apostrophe into a single character variable. Unlike the methods that work on characters, which look like this, with the name of the class character, and the character you wish to transform as the parameter, strings are objects. Read from right to left, the second line says, call the two uppercase method on the message string, and assign that value to the variable capitalized. There's a special string called the empty string, which is an opening quote and a closing quote with nothing in between them, not even the space bar. Think of the empty string as the zero of the string universe. We'll see it often in a lot of the examples. Let's go to the shell to demonstrate some of the string methods. Let's create a string, message, which will get the value of the string welcome to Java. You can convert a string to all uppercase by calling the two uppercase method on the string, or convert it all to lowercase. Sometimes you have a string with leading and trailing white space. For example, username equals, let's put some spaces, a tab, the name, a new line, and a couple of more spaces. Let's see what this looks like if we print it out. And to see where the white space is, we're going to precede it with a vertical bar and follow it with a vertical bar. And you can see that there's leading and trailing white space. The trim method gets rid of this leading and trailing white space. When I say username becomes username.trim, the leading and trailing white space is gone. White space that was within the string and now at the ends stays as it is.


Governor Amado Finturi has called on restants of the state to remain calm and peaceful as collation of resort to the just concluded supplementary polls has been suspended by INEC. Now the governor who addressed a news conference in Jola on Sunday commended the national headquarters of INEC for its prompt action holding the declaration of the APC governorship candidate Aishat Binane as governor-elect. He expressed optimism that eventually the electoral empire would collate and announce the winner of the election saying only 11 local government areas were collated out of 20. The red this morning took up a tax he is not constitutionally empowered to do by making an illegal announcement of the outcome of the election without a result. This action is no doubt provocative but in this situation I appeal for calm. As always I assure you that as your leader I will ensure nobody tells how your democratic rights the independent national electoral commission has demonstrated its empire staffings by first distancing itself from the act of direct and I sure that the writing will be done the writing in this context is the conclusion of the coalition at the designated location and declaration of a winner by the returning officer in person of Professor Mele Kerri. I must thank you for your resilience and resolve not only exercise your democratic rights but also protect it where on this justice until it is done.

Oh, no. Adam Sandler made a good movie. No! No! No! That's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Uncut Gems, a film that I have to begrudgingly admit has a fantastic performance by Adam Sandler. A performance so good that I really believe this is the best performance he's ever done in his entire life. I haven't liked a lot of Adam Sandler movies. At least to say, Adam Sandler is basically renowned as being one of the laziest filmmakers making some of the worst comedy movies, some of the laziest comedy movies. And I think it's that begrudging look, that dislike of the guy that helps me really build into the experience with this film. His character, Howard, in this film is a piece of garbage, yet he is trying to do things for the right reason. Kind of. And I think that's what really pulls you into this film. Story about a guy who is a hustler, a better, a gambler, and he constantly keeps getting the shaft, and he just gets worse and worse and worse, but he keeps trying to dig himself out, but, inadvertently, he's digging himself even deeper. This film happens over the course of a couple of days, but you just never really get a break. There's one point in the film where he kind of undresses to lay down and sleep on a couch. And that is probably the only part of the film that actually takes a moment to full-on breathe. Right from the start, you are on edge. During the opening credits, you are on edge, and the high octane anxiety of this movie is what really fuels it. This is what people have been talking about with this movie, just the consistency of this ever-mounting, anxiety-driven, nervous trip you have throughout the whole film. And it never lets you go, except for the one point where he goes to sleep on the couch. When I was watching the movie at home, I was fixed on the screen. I couldn't believe what was unfolding, and I enjoyed the characterization. There's these weird little callbacks to 80s movies with the long, slow pull-out or zoom-in, odd kind of ambient music. Also, I enjoyed how down-packed the pacing is. Supposedly, this script took 10 years to put together, and you can see that because everything is finely tuned. And a huge portion of the delays was due to basketball players. Like Kevin Durand was not the original choice. It was Kobe. I kind of wondered why I never heard of the directors of this film before, and that's because these guys have been making a bunch of short movies for a long, long time in their career. And I actually ought to admit, I've never cared about a basketball game so much. Canada went nuts when Toronto finally won the basketball MVP thing. I don't watch basketball. But I actually really cared about the basketball game that is pivotal to this film. And that's a great aspect of the film. Pulling you into something that you're not even used to or not even a fan of to make you that anxious for the outcome is something that this film does phenomenally well. I actually have to say that Uncut Gems is a movie that, wow, about the seediness, the depressing nature of gambling addictions, of shwormy awful people. This movie is a fantastically put together film. If I had watched this last year, this would have been in the top three because I'm going to give Uncut Gems a seven out of seven. I can't believe how good this movie is. Now it's kind of up in the air as to whether these guys actually make something as good again. As I mentioned earlier, this did take 10 years to put together and not all scripts get that amount of care and attention to it before actually going to camera. We'll see if these guys can actually create gold or if this is just a one-off. I'm very interested to see where these brothers go forward. Anyways guys, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed this review. If you did, leave a like and if you're interested in more, maybe subscribe. Otherwise, see you guys next time. Thanks for watching the video. My name is Knitz, and you might remember me from the animated cult classic TV show, Undergrads. It's been a while, but I'm happy to say the click is finally getting back together in an all-new movie thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign. But we are still asking for your support. To see any and all updates about the upcoming Undergrads movie, be sure to check out and like the Bring Back Undergrads Facebook page. And with any luck, we'll see you guys soon.

Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how you can merge contents of two files into another file or you can say into third file using a C program. Before starting, you can know how you can search my YouTube channel. You can type my name Sanjay Gupta in YouTube. My channel will be available there. You can watch various programming related videos here. Now I am going to implement solution of this problem. First I am going to include a header file stdio.h then I am including another header file that is stdlib.h. Now I am going to define main function. Inside main function, I have declared a file pointer and a character variable that is ch. So here I have to use three files. So I require three file pointers here. So I am declaring f1, f2 and f3 file pointers. Now first I am opening first file whose name will be file1.txt and I have to open it in read mode. Then I have to open second file and this file is also opened in read mode. Then I am opening third file that is file3.txt and I am opening it in write mode. So I have to copy contents of file1 and file2 into file3. So now I have to check all these files whether they are open successfully or not. So I am applying these three conditions f1 w equals to null or f2 w equals to null or f3 w equals to null. So if any of these three condition is true then an error message will be displayed on output screen that cannot open file and through exit the program will be terminated. If this condition is false it means all three files are open successfully then I can shift or I can merge contents of file1 and file2 into file3. So first I am going to copy contents of file1 into file3. So I am calling fgetc function and I am reading content of f1 file into ch variable. Now I have to check whether this ch is equals to end of file or not. If it is equals to end of file then I have to break the loop because end of file means file is terminated and it is not containing any content after this point. So if ch is equals to euf then loop will be terminated otherwise with the help of fputc I can write the received character into f3 file. So this way the contents which are available in file1 will be received through f1 pointer into ch variable and those characters will be stored inside f3 pointer with the help of fputc function. So this loop will copy file1 into file3. Now after completion of this loop I can close file pointer1. Now I am copying this loop and I am pasting it. Now this loop will copy file2 into file3. So here I am writing f2 file pointer. So the contents of file pointer2 will be received through fgetc into ch then it will be checked for end of file if it is true, if this condition is true then loop will be terminated otherwise ch will be stored inside f3. So this way through these two loops contents of file1 will be shifted first into file3 and then content of file2 will be shifted into file3. Now I can close f2 file pointer and f3 file pointer and at last return 0. So now I have to create two files first file1.exe and file2.exe because I am going to open these files in read mode. So these files must be available in a folder and file3 will be created automatically because I am using w mode. So now you have to focus that I have saved this source code with test.c name in ctcn bin folder. So I have to create those notepad files file1 and file2 in ctcn bin folder. So I have opened notepad. Here I am typing sanjan and I am going to save this file in ctcn bin folder with name file1.exe. So you can see this file is saved with file1.exe name. I am closing this notepad. I am again opening notepad and this time I am typing gupta and again I am going to save this file on same path ctcn bin with name file2.exe. So you can see the name of file it is file2.exe. So I have created two files. Now I am moving to c drive tc folder and bin folder. Here you can see both the files are available file1.exe and file2.exe. I am opening file1.exe it is containing sanjan. I am opening file2.exe it is containing gupta. But file3 is not available here. Now I have to execute this code so that merged content will be available into file3.exe. So I am executing this code. Program has executed successfully. It is not showing anything on output screen because the contents are stored inside file. Now I am moving to bin folder. Here you can see file3.exe is created automatically. Now I am going to open this file. You can see the contents. Sanjay Gupta is available here. Sanjay was stored in file1 and Gupta was stored in file2. But both the contents are merged in file3 with the help of this c program. So I hope you have understood how we can merge contents of two file into third file with the help of c program in file handling. I hope you have understood the concept well. If you want to watch more programming related videos you can search my name Sanjay Gupta in YouTube. My channel will be available there. You can watch various programming related videos here. Thank you for watching this video.


The entire world has changed in the last couple of years with the explosion of devices and with the abundance of content pieces for the consumers but what has fundamentally changed on the advertising front is that the traditional models of mass media market where an advertiser or a brand would go out there and talk about how unique they are and how greatly they are going to change your lives and do things differently for you is no more relevant because consumers now, their favorite brands have essentially ended up being what Google tells them what is most relevant at that specific point in time and hence now in this new era brands and advertisers have increasingly started combining data and technology with impeccable storytelling with not just to buy loyalty from the consumers but to earn it every single time and hence content marketing very clearly is the new forefront of advertisers trying to seek trying to leverage trying to drive long-term brand loyalty with the consumers you know it's very strange but the further we go away from the old the more we realize that the rules of the game are still the same and hence even on the content marketing side the first biggest cornerstone the first biggest pillar is to know is to realize who your target audience is and everything first and foremost needs to revolve around that because once you know who your target consumer is and the kind of things that he likes the kind of stuff that he likes to consume he loves to watch he loves to purchase he loves to talk about he loves to share the entire content very clearly needs to be catered needs to be centered around that relevant target consumer that's one and the second is now with the explosion of data and consumer data having become the biggest currency in this new modern marketplace the brands and the advertisers need not just to ask and request but to demand more and more data about the consumers and what they are watching where they are watching and how they are watching because in this new world fortunately or unfortunately the only way you can win is to be strategically focused on the sweet spot where data technology audience and content brands have very clearly realized that the world of media has changed or is changing than any faster than any time in the history we're all at some level whether it's a platform or it's a consumer we're all fighting for the battle of attention to win the hearts and the minds of consumers and in that advertisers have realized that the only way to win that battle is through a simple rule is through a simple answer which is to create the most riveting story to create the most relevant story to create the most spellbinding story and rest everything else is pure noise and if that is the case and if that is the truth and if consumers are indeed spending more and more time of theirs in watching content and that too on the in the online media audiences need to be tapped and advertisers need to reach out to the audiences where they are and audiences are watching that specific riveting story well absolutely not and I was talking about this even in the earlier session where TV is not going to die anytime soon right TV penetration in this country is still hovering around 60-65% and if by traditional we mean TV and print and radio TV very clearly is going to continue to see a huge and a massive and a robust growth in the next few years because what they end up doing is delivering massive reach to a huge set of consumers and the reality is while messages can be micro targeted which is corollary to what digital offers but for a meaning to be established you need mass media you need traditional form of advertising and that's pretty much the reason as to why the you know even Facebook on the back of the huge data issue that they on them on the back of the huge privacy issue that they've experienced they finally ended up taking full page print ads so traditional forms of mass media is no we're going to die and if that's the truth if that's where audiences are still going to consume more and more time continue to have certain level of affinity you would continue to see more and more brands putting in more ad dollars and joining hands with the TV guys as well and I think it's a great time for both traditional as well as digital may the best man win


The Prophet ﷺ he said, man sumat al-Najjah, the one who is silent is saved. The man came to Imam Ahmad and the man said to him, who was right? Aisha or Ali, pick a side. Imam Ahmad he said, Allah saved our swords from blood and picking sides. Why don't we now save our tongues from picking sides? In other words, I was not forced back then to pick a side. Thank God, he wasn't even alive back then. So why are you forcing me now to pick a side?


Hello When I left Norway on Monday morning, I had to walk through snow to get to the bus to get to the airport And then when I arrived in Austin about 18 hours later It was what we Norwegians call a really beautiful summer day And I thought I'd packed all the wrong clothes and I thought I need to adapt to this Turns out I didn't have to adapt at all Austin adapted to me Because yesterday it snowed in Austin probably my fault. I don't know My name is Edun Ferkelstrand. I work for the Norwegian labor and welfare administration And today I'm going to talk about how oops How I get this to work? Yeah, and today I'm going to talk about how By adopting Kubernetes in an old legacy system legacy platforms I've been able to solve a lot of the problems you had as an organization We were stuck on premise in our own data centers. We had way too many test environments We had an access control, which was too coarse. So it was problem for developers We had network zones almost hindering any kind of development pace We needed some kind of overview of all our dependencies that we could trust We had really bad monitoring and observability in our systems It was difficult and cumbersome to create new applications And we had loads of nightly batch jobs Today I'm first I'm going to talk a bit about now the organization I work for And then I'm going to go through all the problems I just talked about And how we solve them And then I'm going to talk a bit about the platform system we made And how we branded and how we how it's how it's working basically and then a few conclusions But first a bit about me I used to be a Java developer For many many years and I think the fact that I'm a developer going into the infrastructure space Makes a difference. I've heard a lot about All the loads of the keynotes I talked about how we want to Start solving the developer's problem and increase the development pace and make better deployment pipelines All of those things have been kind of my main goals for starting to work with infrastructure It's not about it's about increasing this pace and the development speed So when I started to when I've been a developer for like 10 years and had all this bitterness built up inside me and Thought I could use all those Experiences and all that bitterness and try to solve the problems for all the other developers So they didn't have to have all the problems I've had So I started to work with infrastructure and platforms. I started with Kafka I operated Kafka a few years from my former company And then I started the migration to kubernetes I presented something on kubecon in Berlin this spring Then I worked for a company called fin It is one of the largest websites in Norway. It's a classified marketplace And what I talked about then was how you can maintain continue continuous delivery whilst migrating to kubernetes And that's been a great success right now fin has migrated about 60 percent of all their services to kubernetes and at least in Norwegian terms it's loads of traffic and Even before the migration fin had a really good speed to deploy to production a thousand times a week and We managed to keep up that pace even making it better and the developers were very happy But I thought That problem was kind of solved. I needed to find something more difficult Then just migrating kubernetes in an environment an organization that had Most of stuff in place already So I started to work for the government And the Norwegian labor and welfare administration was Created in 2006 when we merged two different organizations And basically it's Got it has offices all around norway and people Uh, the citizens of norway when they have problems when I've lost their job or when they're sick or when they have kids They can come into this office or these offices and talk to the different people who work there and get help Basically, we have 50 different benefits. We pay out about a third of the national budget of norway One of the richest countries in the world is paid paid out by this agency unemployment benefits pensions child and parent benefits There's 600 people working in this it department Two years ago almost none of them are programmers Uh, there was architects and developers and testers and only use consultants and when you go back and think about Uh the When I got to nav, I thought this is really old and Strange and difficult and then I realized There's a history here Now I've got its first computer system in 1967 The database of that system still runs Is a large 10 gigabyte file We built a new Service on top of that, but we still use the database. It's in read only mode now. It contains the salaries of people living in norway from like 67 and up till 2010 I think And the big file is a bit difficult to handle. So there's this old lady She comes in on tuesdays and wednesdays She was a part of the team that built that system and she helps the team that's now trying to Be like architect into this large 10 gigabyte file in a strange language I don't understand and try to understand and find all the data they need to Get that data to use it for calculating pensions for norwegian norwegians That was the first system and of course we have mainframe systems Those are still in use We have this really strange oracle java thing which was created around 2000 where The java objects are Instances of those objects are in the database It's not like an app server So for the for all the developers have to have their own oracle database to do anything at all that's still in still running loads of ibm web server je Applications most of those are still running We have an ibm mq message queue still running The last five to ten years we've been migrating to more modern stacks like jboss and stuff most of our applications now are in jboss But we realized Well, do we have all these other systems? What's the harm of introducing a few more? So we started to work on docker and kubernetes oops, I forgot about images that's actually Prod is no reason for production. This was the production system at some point in now's history And now we want to be be somewhere around here so Now I've had a private cloud for a few years based on vmware It's kind of self service where the developers go into different web apps and provision the stuff they need they get vm vms for jboss or vms for ibm web server and Or databases and there's a really strict handover between developers and Ops guys So the ops guys have no the developers have no access at all to production And if there's an error in production the ops guys find it and then they might call the developers developers later At least until last day there was a three-month release cycle with a four-week test period afterwards and there was a set of testers and Release managers The culture was a bit more like this We had this really really really large development projects Outdoors to consultants And because that's scary we built up a really really really large organization to specify and Test also do projects created by the developers So we had no developers but architect testers and release managers So as you can see The challenge I wanted was bigger than the one I had before where I just had to maintain continuous delivery Whilst migrating Kubernetes now we wanted to use Kubernetes and use everything to kind of change this organization and change all these technical difficulties And the reason I wanted this is this guy my boss's boss's boss's boss his name is to iberna and he's the he's the cio of nav nav and he's a former developer So he understands things And he wants us to deliver twice the speed at half the price And we want to build autonomous teams have continuous delivery and have a you build it your own culture So that we can have developers actually running their own applications And we're quite inspired of what's happening here in the u.s With 18f and in the uk with gds and estonia actually, which is really good at Digitalizing their public sector. So what we created now To achieve this twice twice the speed to half the price. There's loads of things you need to do And I don't know how for those things, but I know how to Make platforms So I wanted to use my experience to build a Kubernetes based platform To try to change as much as possible Changing the culture increasing the development speed and try to improve the application architecture at the same time I was at the talk with the people from a german bank yesterday and I You talked about how you you had the kind of the same challenge, but you I think you had the harder time constraints So you you needed to do this without Improving the application architecture as much and without doing all other stuff We don't have those time constraints. So we we want to use this Opportunity of a change to actually change more than just moving to the cloud So now I'm going to go through all the different problems we had and how we solve those Using different Kubernetes concepts So a tiny Repetition we're stuck on premise. We have two minute test environments access controls a problem for developers We had network zones and firewalls that stopped almost any kind of development pace We needed overview of our of our dependencies that we could trust We had band monitoring. It was difficult to create new applications And we had loads of nightly batch jobs So the first part we're stuck in our own data centers And because we're a government agency We have loads of sensitive data The things Similar to the witness protection programs the addresses of those people are in our database So we need to kind of protect our data a lot. So we can't just move them outside of Norway without having proper control And there's no public cloud data centers in Norway. So we kind of we're stuck on premise basically But then again, there's loads of stuff happening in the open source in the public cloud world Which we want to leverage we want to be able to use all those survey Service as a server or product as a service platform service products that amazon and google and everybody offers Both because it will make us quicker and it will make everything cheaper And I think we think we can move at some point the laws says As far as we know that it's legal for us to move outside of Norway as long as we have encryption everything in place But the timeline of doing that is really long Uh, if we want to migrate everything outside, it's going to take a long rewrite and we can't migrate our mainframe systems for instance So the solution to this at least the start of the solution this is use Kubernetes Because when I speak to my developers or the development Developers in the development teams But what they need to do to be able to make an application run in a public cloud And what they have to do to make the applications running Kubernetes At least the first 10 to 15 steps are exactly the same So if we start by migrating applications from on-premise Kubernetes solution We can leverage the work they do then when we were allowed to move to public cloud later Also, we can Mirror or replicate most of the cool things we want in the public cloud offerings in Kubernetes we can have function as a service and posted Databases with less operational cost for developers And we can also leverage all the different cloud native technologies that exist around there for monitoring and service meshes and security I forget all on the animations I have and of course We can reduce cost. We have a really large I think Now which isn't really norway isn't the biggest country. So our We are kind of a traffic limit of we'll never have more than At least we can we can estimate our user user growth quite good We have approximately five million users now and we'll have approximately five million users for quite a few years Unless there's some kind of war situation where norway takes other countries, but I don't think that'll happen So instead we don't we don't It's more important for us to be able to run our applications more efficiently than how you handle like large Large scale increases so to conclude Moving to Kubernetes at least to start is the same as it's a good stepping stone to move to a public cloud And we get loads of value early on in the process So the next problem had we had two minute test environments More than 20 distinct test environments loads of them with production data Which means some of the data of all the people in the witness protection programs that we really really really don't want anyone to see And all those environments are difficult to coordinate I think it's a loop, but I'm not entirely sure Could be just a really long gif gif gif Yes, so we had all these tests environments and coordinating those is difficult There's three or four people whose job it is just to make sure that we have control over which versions of each service runs in which test environments And we have some of the legacy systems can't we can't have One copy of all the legacy systems in each test environment, so we have to kind of have some system to handle all that and my I think the reason we have all these test environments is because we have these really long release cycles Because when we have three or two four new developers each going to release something at the same time four times every year they need different and they It's difficult for them to integrate before that so they need separate environments and then some kind of test period afterwards So what did we do to solve this? basically We created two Kubernetes clusters in our solution production and not production And in not production we made it possible to Create all these different test environments using namespaces But every time someone asked for a new test environment We said no at least twice And then so they really had to have good reasons to be able to do this But of course You can't just take away all those opportunities at once You have we want people to actually use the things we build as well. So we have to make it easy when they Described us that they really need this So the automatic provisioning of these namespaces afterwards The diagram is supposed to show how we have There's many instances of many applications running in not production, but in production. There's only one of each and then we're Well, this makes it possible to Create the test environments as they do as we need we can have some isolation. We can have limits on the namespaces but it's still Easier to reduce afterwards and we have some we send them a bit so that people think why they need all these test environments So the next problem was access control This is more or less what it looked like when I left the norway on monday morning The access control in our old system Was that basically it was either we had access to production or had no no access to production And the operations people had access and the developers didn't And this kind of handover process where if you wanted to do anything in production you had to get You had to hand over the application to the operations people That didn't really work and it created It introduced It took away a lot of the trust between the different departments So what we then wanted to do what we basically want to do was to reduce the distance Between the people who caused the pain and the people who had the pain because now the distance was very much the developers Made errors, but they didn't really feel the pain of those errors that was done by the operations people so we wanted to Let the developers Feel all the errors they all the pain they've created themselves, but then we had to Make it possible for them to get access to production But we couldn't give them access to everything because we have sensitive data and we need some kind of control So we implemented the open ID Connect system where we have an Azure AD active directory, which is have all the ideas of all our developers And then we just used the Kubernetes namespaces to say that the development teams have access to stuff in their own their own applications So network zones we had loads so we had three or four different network zones and we had a firewall between them, which wasn't it was handled by Operated on manually which made it When you have that for 10 15 years, there really is no control anymore You just have loads of holes in the firewall and you don't really know where they are And it's difficult and slow to create new To open for applications So basically what we want to do is to automate all this stuff and we want to do this by using network policies And we do this by using network policies in Kubernetes So then when we have namespaces for each of the different teams We can basically in a declarative and fully automated way just recreate all the actual rules from the firewalls And have the necessary Necessary isolation between the different teams applications And we also look at spiffy and siren all the new cool stuff I learned about in the last few days To increase this even further Also, we had all these architects and architects like to draw diagrams of boxes and arrows and how everything fits together The problem is of course, it is difficult to do that in a Correct manner. Most of the time they do it either development time or deployment time They talk to developers or they try to they try to do some static code analysis to see who talks to who And that's never correct Normally these ends up in confidence pages and no one looks at Because there is really no value of having an incorrect diagram like this And what we want to do here Is to introduce is to introduce is to introduce is to introduce is to introduce is to introduce is to introduce Because is to along with a lot of the other stuff we can do Makes it possible to see a real time Absolutely correct image of who talks to who And then we have this And then we have these diagrams showing That actually the traffic patterns and we can easily add loads of stuff onto that diagrams like If anything is slow and how much traffic there is and Stuff like that And when we use open tracing we could probably also do this for our asynchronous communication So the next problem we had was monitoring The monitoring solutions we had were mostly made for the operations people and the bosses because those are the ones who Scared or those are the ones who's header on the block when something goes down and That means you had a separate team trying to create A monitoring solutions and they didn't really talk to the developers at all There were more uses of logs than metrics And most of the monitoring was on the infrastructure side not on the service side So here we basically did quite simply we introduced Prometheus as a Metrics database and a metrics collection system And using the Kubernetes method When you collect data using Prometheus On Kubernetes you get all the metadata from the deployments on the time series And that specific that that data makes it possible to create like generic dashboards like the one you can see here Which is actually shows data for any Application running in your cluster But you can drill down and see only data for one. So we created this graph on a dashboard Which has We chose the Generic information but it dropped down with with applications running with all the applications running So as soon as you deploy an application to our cluster You can go to the graph on dashboard and just pick your application and in your environment and in your cluster From on graphana and see all the data And we used the default exports for Prometheus So we can have jvm stats and node stats and stuff like that And cpu and memory data comes from hipster And we can even using this data quite easily create some kind of billing solution where we measured Resource utilization for each of the different systems because they're all reported in the exactly same way So we can create a billing dashboard saying Basically introducing something we haven't had before that the development team have to Take into consideration the cost of what they're creating So the next problem It was difficult to create new apps I talked a bit earlier about the old kind of private cloud They had where all the provisioning was done manually in web applications, which were homemade So we had to go to some systems to create the vms and create the applications and create the databases And other systems to create configurations for the different applications And to actually deploy you had to create a ticket in JIRA and the ops people did the deployment So we created something we created a separate application error called a nice deployment demon It is a gov application running inside the Kubernetes cluster And when you want to deploy an application You do an hdb post to that endpoint with some The file you can see on the side there is all the different things you can Configure, but there's low to sensible defaults and we created this specifically for nav So normally there's like 10 to 15 5 to 10 lines of yaml for an application Just saying what you what you need and then Then this nice deployment demon fetches this file and the docker container and deploys it And the fact that we use go as and have created this application ourselves Makes it possible for us to tailor this specifically to our needs for deploying an application So we can use this to integrate with some of the older systems like the system we have for application configuration has an api as well as an web GUI So we can reuse all the application configuration and makes it that makes it much easier to to migrate applications to our new system And then when we're done and we have a majority of this application inside our cluster we can try to reduce some of those need for those configurations And this also Integrates with all the different other systems Yeah, so we can say this says this turns on primitives if the application exposes primitives metrics And it handles everything And there's been loads of discussions I think this week about how to reduce the amount of yaml you need And I've seen loads of systems that kind of Generates yaml Into git repositories and then the kubectl. I say kubectl even though Brian Grant said something else apply But I like this approach much better because this makes it possible to have everything Inside repository of the application We have this file to get the with the application files and Docker file And one of the things I like about this is then it's not my responsibility When it's inside the developers git repository, it's a developer's responsibility And it's them who owns the application and all the configuration needed And we get the same advantages with a git commit log and everything for all the changes So the nice deploy them and takes this information and transforms that into kubernetes Resources So batch jobs Because of our old architecture we We normally run batch jobs at night And running batch jobs at night Is it's bad in many many ways? First of all someone has to be up at night and to check that everything goes okay And probably the developers work it in days. It has to be a separate team of people who run all the batch jobs And they don't understand the batch jobs because they haven't been part of the development team And there's research contention and there's it's difficult to scale because we normally also put our Bad jobs inside the application instances. So a batch job is just calling an endpoint in the application And then you counter that during the day because that's when the users use our systems So instead we try to introduce batch jobs as a concept in nice where we have a separate file nice job yaml file And we have the batch jobs as separate containers And again, this is the same kind of Thought processes as behind the nice yaml file where we Have sensible defaults and try to reduce the amount of yaml any developer has to write So now i'm going to that was kind of the Solutions and problems we had i'm just going to spend a few minutes talk a bit more about nice This is kind of the architecture i think i would talk most about we try to layer it so that it's possible to Run on many different platforms. We have the applications on top And then we have what we call the platform applications, which is Stuff like rook and is still and graphama and prometheus and a few operators mostly written in go running inside the cluster doing stuff And the fact that we base all this on the Community's apis makes it possible for us as i said before to run on premise now and migrate this to different cloud providers later Right from the start we focused a lot on continuous delivery of all we do So we have a pipeline that deploys the cluster We use ansible and Jenkins to that so when we do a change it's more or less automatically propagated into the cluster And we have the same for the platform applications We use a helm for those because then we can leverage all the stuff in the helm stable repositories And we use a small open source tool called landscaper, which makes it possible to do continuous delivery of helm Helm charts And as i've now this is my second second go at migrating a Large system into communities and i realized that Creating the platform. It's so much easier than migrating the applications Probably because we want to Increase the quality whilst we do this but Just writing it up and platform would take us a lot less if we didn't have to tailor it to the fact that we had to migrate applications So The platform we want to build That's going to be the next step when we migrate with most of the stuff. We can try to create the perfect application No, the perfect platform If you're still there, of course And the fact that we can reuse parts of the private cloud and makes it much easier to migrate For storage, we just started to use rook i o And that works really well. It's I've heard rumors that's going to be a cncf hosted project really soon and it's I've always thought setting up like distributed storage would was difficult and scary but using rook makes this Incredibly easy We also want to Offer postgres using the postgres operator. Then we can move away from our old oracle stack We open sourced everything Not necessarily because we think anyone can reuse what we do But because we're a tax funded government agency. We think what we do should be open and public because it's basically the Our interpretation of some laws and Having the open source model also works really well internally I normally Give cake to anyone outside my team who creates pull requests into nice and Cake works really well to get people to do stuff for you. I've had loads of success with that over many years At finna managed the whole organization to change do Weeks of work just because I promised them cake And any team that migrates an application to nice and gets proper traffic in production gets cake And it works because it creates enthusiasm and it creates visibility So a few conclusions I think kubernetes is a really good product also to kind of create platforms that shape and cultures and organizations because it's it's kind of an implementation of continuous delivery I think it helps it makes makes it easier for us to deliver and All the things we need the teams won't also do we can deliver quickly because of kubernetes When you do something like this, it's much more important to focus on the migration of applications than creating the platforms Because that's where you're going to spend most of your time Building a brand like nice and giving out cake and creating this internal open source enthusiasm Really helps because then people I've never asked in both my two projects doing this I never asked anyone to migrate to our applications They just they come knocking on the door straight away when it's when we start to talk about what we have And lastly if you want to build a ability to run it culture where the developers do the most of their operations themselves Kubernetes gives you loads of good tools for that and it also reduces the amount of work you have to do if you're ever in oslo and norway and Have anything you want to share in the cloud native space. I run the cloud native foundation meetup in oslo So you can contact me Yeah, well Yeah, I think it's difficult to describe culture But I think lack of trust was a really good Word for when we started this journey the first kind of In that explosion, but the first kind of thing that happened was when developers wanted access to production because the ops guys didn't want to do that, but That's what we wanted to achieve and that's kind of the first thing where we saw that we had to change the culture and we managed to kind of do We managed to create some kind of system where we have them ops guys Because a lot of our developers haven't really got too much experience with running stuff in production either So we need to train them as well and we try to help make the ops guys help with that and Also, we need to start small You can't just put the most important thing in production right away You have to build trust and people have to see that this will work Yeah other questions All the mainframe developers keeps telling me that We had this 50 years ago. They say And of course some of it is true. They have like this shared The The pool of resources and how they use it is very similar And they even had all the building stuff made when I when I started to say Oh, we can make building with this They just start laughing because they had this this was kind of built into the system from the start So it's obviously concepts are similar, but this is on data center level So it's just it's different what you can achieve. I think Yeah, when you Rook sets up sefin a way that handles persistent voting claims and everything And no, but we haven't not too long. This is it was the last slide I made basically because I'm coming here We have a few apps using it, but the main guy who did the work says it's At least it's easy Let's see if it works as well, but Yeah, sef works and I remember from berlin the rook people say Well, rook is just for setting up sef It's not on the data path. Then it's just normal sef Yeah, sorry docker Docker Yeah now I kind of wanted but I never had anyone Tell me they've done that successfully yet loads of pushback But I think we're not done here. We're kind of we know where we want to and we We've done some of it, but we know. Oh, sorry. She said stop I'll just finish we know this is going to take years Because some of the systems has to be rewritten from scratch There's no and that's some of our core systems. So A lot of the old processes will be there for many years Thank you
