Hello, everybody. Welcome back to esoteric Atlanta with my friend Jay from Spiritually Raw with our weekly pep talks updates all that stuff to really try to help everybody including ourselves Get into a new thought process around this new way of living this 5d way of living. So how are you today Jay? I'm doing good Bryce. I'm doing good. Yeah It's like we got a there's a new world whether we admit it or not There's a new world coming and we got to shake the money fungus and you know what I mean Just shake it off and clean it up and and get ready for we got to get prepared for it Right. So this is good. How are we doing this? Yeah, they say nothing can stop what's coming and we it's coming It's our choice whether it goes positive or negative And so we want to start preparing to get it to go into the positive because yeah We want to get rid of the fungus So you sent me yesterday Something Jay that I sent out to my people and I will also link it down in the description box below if anybody missed it But you want to talk about that a little bit today Jay? Yeah, you know, we'll we're just look the way to The way to live in this 5d world or the way to get in elevate the 5d world is to be constantly taking action I mean so we commit to Doing something Very measurable, you know, I mean like very impactful like, you know, like a lot of times Bryce were like me in April They're like, okay What's what's the impact today? Where did we make an impact today, right? So, you know, we think of things that that could possibly help people and so obviously being in business and you know We talk a lot about you see it and it's it's got the whole network marketing and then there's a lot going on about well How do I recruit this person or how do I get this person involved and blah blah blah blah blah And you know, we're taking a position of you shouldn't recruit anyone You should attract everyone, you know, and that was the that was really the title of it because that's the whole thing I think that everybody gets annoyed with Business in general or these types of things is because they feel like they're being recruited where Bryce, I really feel like we're big boys and girls at this juncture in our lives I don't think we need to be poked and prodded and reminded everything if we're ready We're ready and that should be as simple and we should respect people to that point Yeah, I agree with you 100% in that yeah, absolutely It should be it should be it and that's why you know for me It's like if someone says no they say no they say yes They say yes, and it should be about that. I don't in any business in any business I don't want to work with somebody who doesn't really want to be there Right, you want to you want to work with somebody that actually wants to be there and actually wants to take advantage of Whatever that business isn't the opportunity so I absolutely get that for sure Yeah, you know think about all that before like, you know, like when people talk about business Look, you know, we're talking about the 5D economy how to become abundant by helping other people become an abundant So we really are practicing these collective conscious and steps, but think about before if you The energy it takes to try to talk someone into something is just I don't even know how you can even measure that But then they do it and it's like they feel like you're they're doing you a favor and then you know You know all these things that go along with it It's so exhausting where why not try on a world or give yourself the possibility that it's not It's not like that that if you're connected and harnessing your spirit that the right energy is gonna match with you And then you can just talk through things properly and that's all it is and and I think that You know, maybe this isn't a various forces Bryce I was thinking about this the other day Maybe it is maybe it is that like you take something good like let's say network marketing which we believe is a really good concept by helping people sharing and Companies paying people versus the things but maybe it isn't a various forces that have really messed it up to that degree And told people no you got to do this you got a you got to call people Seven eight times a day or seven eight times before they'll say yes I don't want anybody calling me believe me if I would say no I mean, it's it's you know, I mean really I just think people are at that point in time But there's still that I see a lot of that which I was profitable and I and look I want to want to pay all of that Respect because there was a point in time that I believe it worked I believe it was a foundation to something but like anything in life like history history and any type of Teachings things change we're in a new world There's a new sheriff right and I want to reiterate the compete We talked about this a lot on my channel as well because if you look at spirituality and science Which the two should be one in the same darkness can't create anything it can't only the light can create That's it The only thing darkness can do is steal from the light and invert it And so when it comes to any type of structure for anything It was originally created by the light for the good And then it gets it gets mucked up with You know with dark with with narcissists with psychopaths with people who don't have the best intention who wants you to start harassing other people And so yes, if you take it back to the bare bones Nothing in this world was ever created for evil or for bad It was all created for good and it's our responsibility to dust off the cobwebs To do some cleansing and then repurpose it for what it was initially used for which is good Yeah, and I think really looking at people because you know people are wanting to find a new way They just don't want to use old habits or disciplines in the new way And so that's what we're sharing with you is not so much a new way But probably a way that you know, we like you said we've dusted off and been able to say wait a minute That's I think we may have gotten tapped into something You you know, we'll we'll be we'll be in life having to learn more and more telepathic communication We'll learn how to have we'll having to learn more of this kind of commutation How to use energy because we are energy and we need to put our energy into energy You know versus just trying to think about how many times this is and the science behind You know the sale if you would and all that stuff and I think that's where that's where Bryce you putting these kind of shows together Is is just so it's going to be it's going to it's going to help people I mean these are people that are going to just need to you know kind of figure things out I mean they're getting stuck right now. They don't know why they're getting stuck They're getting frustrated and they don't know why they're getting frustrated and people call me all the time They're like, oh, hey, I want to approach my friend. What should I say and how do I do this or how do I pitch this? I'm like first of all, you never pitch anything. You know, yeah, you just talk I mean, you know, I mean if you're not if you're if you're in sales or in your business and You know the rule of thumb we've always talked about is if we're in sales and business and if we don't We're not communicating as if we were to our best friend in the world or most Beloved ones and we're not communicating that same fashion that same tone then You know, that's not being your authentic self Absolutely, and I said this and I'll say it again to you guys if to understand what he's saying If you go back and look at like Stanislaw ski and his idea of even like when it comes to storytelling and acting He always said that in order to sell Not sell but in order to like do a good performance or whatever you had to be speaking from a place of truth And so like when you pitch something People know you're trying to sell them something because there's a dishonesty there. There's not a there's not a so Yeah, when you're talking to your best friend or you're talking to your your parents or your spouse or your You want to come at a place of truth? And that's where there's no sell right and I I say that to people all the time Like I can only quote-unquote sell I using that word things that I actually believe in Because it's truth there. I believe in yoga. I believe in the ancient text. I believe in a sea I've seen what a seed so it's coming from a place of honesty. It's not pitching anything It's coming from a place of honesty and that is I think that's a huge difference between where we have been and where we're going Yeah, totally and you know, and I just some disciplines may be doing still like I can share with you what We do is like I know like me and April will just go work out or go for a run and I and I And just but it'll be like this morning for example like I got Things I need to get clarity on right so my first response is let me run it out You know what I mean? Let me run it out because I got to get there and I'm like, you know, and I know what I got to do so I think So many people they want everything but they don't Go to whatever created is to try to find the answer. That is a hard road. I'm telling you But if you whatever your form of it, I don't know. I mean, I'm not I don't want to that's You know, Jay, I push that on my channel all the time because the human body we're made up of mostly water Water is a motion and so if that's what the ancient yogi is discovered without really knowing that if you move the body Then you're moving the emotion and when you move the emotion you start to it's like when you go to your attic And you go to clean it out and you find like your old scrapbook and all these memories come up You're doing the same thing within your body.  Absolutely And I think that's one thing speaking of new way of thinking versus old way of thinking I think we've been totally confused. We think exercise is just about fitting into a size zero pants But no, I guarantee you those ancient yogis and those egyptians and all the people that practice an alchemical exercise They weren't trying to look good in a bathing suit Right Exactly it is it's critical. I tell you if you if anybody watching this right now is Since uh, you're sincere about me taking your business to another level or you want to start a business But you don't know I would say your first step is you have to learn how to meet your spirit You have to get reacquainted with that You know meditation exercise however you want to define it. I mean but get connected where something opens you up or Like you said you feel the emotion and then you get the downloads and it's like, you know I'm looking at it this way price. I'm like, okay, look every morning I wake up from get blessed to wake up But I got to go and get my direction from the day from whoever and whatever That's it that gave me the direction. I got a clear path. I know exactly who to do what to do Who I'm talking with what I'm going to say. I get it very cleared mapped out for me And you do that you it's a it's an amazing It's a beautiful relationship. It's a beautiful Uh connection you have with yourself. I mean people call it the holy spirit or or your source or whatever That is for you. It's you know what I'm saying Different vocabulary words different vocabulary, but I think we're talking about the same thing But you meet you have to learn to meet yourself. I mean, I would say numeral We'll know that step one because then otherwise you're you're struggling because you're you don't know how to You don't know how to bring your spirit out because people are attracted to your spirit Is what they get drawn to so you got to meet that person Who are you who are you without the mask on who are you and that's one thing too We think about the thought process sometimes we get caught up in our own our own bullshit My favorite mottos or our mantras is don't believe everything you think and so that's another thing that just jiggling up that that With exercise or even if it's just turning some music on in your living room and dancing around for 10 minutes We'll kind of break that system of thought so that you can start to change that system of thought you can start to change These patterns of thought that we have that you know the way If the way you've been thinking all these years is not giving you success Then we've got to change the way you think Right right and you know the other thing too is another discipline people can look at is like What do you want like really take a look at? What it is you're wanting to do how much money you're wanting to make and does the time and energy put into that equate to what you're making For example people say well, I work You know an hour a day on this project and they expect to make $10,000 a month and that might be in some cases You know realistic, but in a lot of cases it's not so it's you have to just take a look at what you're looking for And I think this is where a lot of business industries sell this so just be careful about this because you have to also Yes, you have to have your faith But we live in a three-dimensional space where you have to be very pragmatic about it too You know you have to you have to learn to balance those parts out One's giving you direction on how to play in this land, you know So if you want to make a billion bucks, but you think you're going to do it in 10 minutes a day You know, let's maybe try rethinking that You know I mean adding some time or lowering the number or whatever But just try to do something where it doesn't set you up and and there's a lot of that going on But I should be you'd be shocked about how many people you know as I'm talking to people all day long But there's a lot of that Disconnective of what you got to do to get to where you want to and it's not so much about working hard It's working in conjunction, you know with yourself with your higher self Absolutely, my dog's agreeing with you right now Yeah, I don't know if you're marking dog gonna get that tonight. That's awesome. Somebody must be at the front door right now That's all I gotta say But no, I will say too is you're saying that Jay something my grandfather used to say all the time And I know people have heard this if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life And so if you have to put energy into making money Then what is it you love to do what brings you joy? I personally work like 16 hours a day and yes, it becomes a lot sometimes, but I love what I do I actually really enjoy Doing my research putting me shows together. I love it. And so it's not as much of a burden Imagine I mean, I'm sure a lot of our people watching right now work 16 hours a day at jobs.  Yeah, it is and I'm like you, you know, April's we mean April we get up at like five and I'm not kidding yet We pretty much force ourselves to go to bed, but we're we're in the moment. We're feeling the energy We're feeling the flow. It's it doesn't feel like work. No, it's fun It's it's fun and and yeah, you know, sometimes it does get tiresome But you don't feel like oh, I gotta do this because it's a job You know what I mean and I think breaking that pattern Because you can you can do things because it's because it serves your soul and that's what we're doing right now We're serving our soul. There's a better way everybody look you gotta you want to um Again, we talk about a sia and we talk about things as far as particular specific Three-dimensional opportunities that you can make money in this lifetime. Let's call it But the reality is is that you know get to a point of Where you can actually have people coming to you that's the kind of world you want to live in You want to get in a world where people People your soul cluster your soul vibration will find you and they're going to want to say to you Something along the lines of this they're going to want to say something like it's great to meet your spirit What are you doing professionally in your lifetime and how can I support you because we're supposed to meet now? Isn't that a nice conversation? Yeah I like so it's so easy It's it's um, you know as you're saying that jay i'm actually thinking back And I think a lot of girls maybe some boys will will agree with this You know for the first like from my 20s to my 30s I dated awful guys like terrible men like you're horrible and but there was something with the way I was thinking about this is how this difficulty this drama Is what but it but there was always it was always hard, right? And it wasn't until I started to rework my perception and going to trauma therapy all that kind of stuff That I realized that when things are easy when things are right They're easy. They flow easy. There's no There's not a lot of obstacle and that's my my boy for now is very easy relationship and the same thing is with business I think we're so conditioned especially in the western world and captain There's nothing wrong with capitalism But to that we have to like labor labor labor and be miserable in order to make money But it's it's there is labor involved, but you don't have to be miserable It it should be easy. It should be it should be what you love It should be it should be excited how many people watching right now are excited to go to work every day How many Very rare very few people are actually excited about going to work on monday morning That's just not right. I mean All right, that's not that's not infinite designed for us I don't think infinite design was says there would be people here And then there'd be people there at or doing this and then be people this I think that Everybody has everybody has a chance to find their purpose Why you came here? You got a search. I mean think about this. Try wherever you're working right now Go on the search if you haven't already go on the search and find out Who dropped you here? Why do they drop you here and start start that process? They'll start to change the way you look at life It really will and it won't be like you're a machine and the things that they feed us the things that you watch Are the things that keep you into this messed up machine? Many call it the matrix But it keeps you in that thing where you just literally become a zombie a robot whatever So if you feel yourself going that direction, you feel I was up north. I got to tell you I was up north And we went to pennsylvania. Sorry in advance for those in pennsylvania What i'm about to say, but let me tell you something. Oh my god I felt like I was in enough. I just came out of an apocalypse or something I was like I got to get out of the state. You know what I mean? It was it was dreary It was it was dull and just where I was at it was just like man I was like all my energy felt like the life source was getting out And but it was like very mechanical like everything I saw everybody there their mannerisms everybody was very mechanical And I think we're getting into that mechanical life.  We think it's normal You got to be careful about that everybody if you got children don't let them get into a mechanical life Break him out of that Pull him out pull him out pull out whoever you love out of that if you you know, give give him a chance to Explore that because that's that's not finding your spirit That's going down a place that we don't even know what's happened Well, we can see what's happening. You get none. You're getting unhealthy. You're getting all the way you're getting broke Um, you know skyrocketing anxiety That's what's happening by staying in that line So yeah, so I will say, you know, I I know I can I can see the questions now like You know, how do I figure out what I because I know, you know, I can see the questions now So I'm gonna kind of try to cover this with you j quickly. Um If you ever I've never been to a a but I know there's many people who have been a a and what's the first The first step of a it's admitting you have a problem, right?  Are you happy with what because your work is where you spend most of your time? Is it bringing you joy? And if the answer is no, then here's the next step And I would say j people because people have asked me this before like, how do I know?  They know who they are. They know what they like to do What did you like to do when you were a child for me when I need to get back to that place? I'll go back to like 12 year old me and I'll listen to like All the 90s music that came out that year, right? Just to bring myself back to that place of that innocence of who I was in that moment before College and university and all that stuff started to get in the way and the stress of bills and you know All that kind of stuff. Is there any other? What would you say j if somebody's like, well, this is all well and good But how do I even figure out where to go from here? Well, I mean I'm I'm I'm always gonna say like my all my always starting point is to take a look at your surroundings Like you said, you know, you got a problem admit you got a problem and that problem may be Outside of you it could be literally your surroundings It could be your social media surroundings that you're hanging out with you run home to and you're just sitting there complaining about Everybody you got about a hundred of you complaining about how broke you are in a group chat I mean that's probably not a good thing try to remove yourself out of those kind of things, right?  So You know It's going to start with the body. I believe rice. I believe you kind of physically start to align yourself You've got to watch what you're taking and believe me. I listen I I've had Oh man, I tell you we've all like our we've all I have our great memories about partying and stuff like that Believe me, but you know, there's comes a point in time where you got to be like, all right I better draw that line now. So So I think at some point in time in your existence, you're going to have to realize that you know Your body is going to have to be in a place where you can number one physically Physically adapt to the vibrational the real vibrational phenomenon that's happening in the planet, right?   You go live. I love where I love where I'm going to or I love how I look today I love that my hair is growing back. I love this. I love that You know, I don't want to be sitting complaining if you're complaining about something fix it if it can be fixed If you know it can be fixed certain I understand certain things happen in certain people where they can't per se be fixed maybe but if you believe that's fine But if in your heart, you know something can be fixed and that takes you to fix it fix it Yeah, just make one step My mother because I know I started developing anxiety disorders when I was in high school My mother used to always say, you know, how do we eat an elephant one bite at a time? We take it one step at a time. It doesn't mean tomorrow.  No, you got to take it one step at a time when you remove yourself And and I'll say I was watching a little show last night. I love my reality tv But um the guy in the show oddly enough was really unhappy with his work and he loved to make Birdhouses and so he started an etsy shop With birdhouses like it's something as simple as that. What are you? What what you know, if a 20 year old can open up an etsy shop and be super successful Why can't a 40 year old? Why can't a 50 year old? You know, there's so it starts to what do you love to do if it's making birdhouses if it's making jewelry if it's If it's reading How many voiceover actors are they looking for to read audiobooks every book goes to audio start looking into that You know It's you know what I remember doing this when you're talking like when I was in my 20s We used to do this is that we get together a group of us at least once a week I mean it wasn't always so structured, but it was relatively consistent And we would all all of us would always bring over In our 20s. We would bring together. This is the next multi billion dollar idea and we will talk through it We were in that energetic space. You see it. I mean we know what that we're doing or talking about it Could have been like doing whatever. I mean it could have been way outlandish But the fact is we were talking about it. You know, we were we were in groups talking about it We were we were energetically getting getting the goosebumps. We were feeling a different part of ourselves we were we were doing something and and you know, so So, you know people getting in pockets and talking about these things Maybe you get on up at work and you just you just really get together with a group of your friends that just got off work too and Instead of complaining about work think about the idea that came up while you were sitting there in the Lunch break that your boss said that you were allowed to go for 15 minutes Or that your boss said you had to come back because you were 30 minutes later Whatever like that at your age. You don't want that right? No thoughts Think take those thoughts and start getting in groups of people who also have dreams Also want something better also want a better existence and talk through those things because it may not be like, okay Well, I want to be like, uh, you know, I have this kind of website or that kind of workshop or weather But but the end result the universe starts to feel that vibration make sure you're way to get it But you'll start to see hey, wait a minute. I'm starting to make some money at this. I see something It's a domino effect. It's like god doesn't just give it to you You have you take one step at a time and all of a sudden it starts to appear It's so interesting jakes. I just told you before we started filming that I am going to be interviewing next Claire headley from Scientology and as you're talking about this one of the things that I love about all of the Scientology people that have left the religion and I'm saying this because I know there are people that are going to be very Debbie down or like it's easy for you to say blah blah blah. I'm going to tell you to go watch their videos There was one woman. I'll link her channel below. Amy scoby left Scientology in her 40s She was older than me when she left this religion. She had no education. None of them have high school diplomas They've been in a cult their whole lives. Most of them don't even have driver's license They have nothing no money. No checking account literally left the cult Disconnected from family have nothing all of these people At an age in life where you should be looking towards the next half of your life Literally pick themselves up and start and now they're Functioning this woman. Amy scoby and her husband who left the cult in their 40s with nothing Slowly started they got a job and they started to buy old furniture and refurbish it and ended up creating a huge Company because that's what they love to do They love to refurbish So if they and I would tell you guys if you're feeling like lackluster or you know, you you can't get out of this Go watch their videos because they literally started with nothing zero not one dollar to their name And they built something for themselves But they were so happy just to be free to wake up with that morning every day and being Gratitude of being a free person that it gave them and so it's possible.  So so you're better off than these people were and they've made a life for themselves that they love so Yeah, I mean why not explore where we're at right now? I mean, this is a pretty cool thing and I I mean, I'm at a place in my life where I just want to explore Right. I'm gonna be like that's that's pretty cool. What is that about? Why like, you know, every single thing now I mean, I think it's important that we Start to explore really look at what you get because I believe when you start to look in terms of that price I believe that's where more and more is shown to you Be I really do I feel like, you know, the evidence that's been shown to me Anyway, is that when I look harder I get shown more, you know, I don't know what the hell's going out there I mean, you know and and and looking in there doesn't have to mean looking into the worst that the world has to offer Let's look into the best that the world has to offer Right. I won't be in your backyard. You know 100 agree with you. I think sometimes we get so stuck in that pessimistic Lifestyle that we don't realize how much beauty is around us and once that starts to shift and change everything starts to shift and change Now jay the the the course you said I'm gonna put all the links down in the description box below because people can actually contact you And get more clarity from you, correct Right, so here's the cool thing about this. This is this is five-dimensional This is the 5d riches five-dimensional working. This is how it works in nature. Okay? So what brice you're talking about right now Is yet to come right what we're doing is we're saying look ask us what you want Right and let's just talk about it and that's what we're wanting to do Because we feel like it's a much better way of looking at it than just like having someone Some people staring at a screen or or watching at a watching the slide presentation or that or whatever for for hours on it We rather engage with someone. Tell us what you want and we'll give you an answer You know, that's all it is. So we're inviting people to submit a one minute video with their name Where they're from and what their occupation is and they ask a very specific question It's all in that link descriptions of some example questions in there and then we'll answer it for them We'll give them a direct response to their answer Oh, that's amazing.  So absolutely that's amazing You guys are doing that and I will put that down in the description box below guys so that you Know how to do that because yeah, and that's the that's the thing about the positive side, right? The negative side hides their success. They don't tell people how they got the positive side shares And tries to help everybody Yeah, we want to do it in a way where it is it's it's it's what do you want to know? You know what I mean like we don't want to tell you what we know I mean, that's boring. We know about that. We'll tell you what you asked was a question We'll get it out and it is it's just the way people communicate What'd you do? How'd you get there did this this this this and and we're gonna do it that way and from that We'll formulate this experience. Let's call it this journey for people from your question So submit your questions and give us an idea what it is You'll want to know more about and then we'll know how to better it We'll know how to better frame this whole Event if you will journey and I will promise everybody that does submit a question though They do they will get an answer Awesome, that's amazing Either myself april or both of us Awesome. So you guys I'm going to put that in the description box if you've made it to the to this part of the video I also want to hear, you know Give day and me some ideas as us as far as creative spark of something that maybe you're struggling with With recalibrating your thought and and put that in the comment section so that we can take that information That you guys are giving us and try to also help in these videos kind of turn this ship around a little bit course correct For the because you know, it's you you are responsible for your own self absolutely But there's also a collective consciousness too and so you know two or more people start to change And everybody's going to start to shift as well And so and so yeah, I'll leave that in the comment section below and I will have all these links For for your question your 5d manifestation for jay in the description box below too Yeah, help us to help you everybody. I mean let us know what you need to hear more of Let us know where you're stuck whatever and we'll work it I mean we're we're here to help bring the energy, you know Bryce is graceful with her platform.  Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely I just want to say sometimes too. I feel like I'm being nudged to share this as well The beautiful thing about this the journey that we're all on And why I think god doesn't just plop everything down in in your lap at once is because sometimes You take one step in the direction. You think it's going somewhere, but it ends up going somewhere completely different That's better than you even imagined it And I know that for me specifically when I started doing my youtube channel I literally was just going to be like a deep dive vocal or channel. That was it And it drastically changed and turned and without those changes in those turns I wouldn't have met jay. I would have met Catherine Edwards I wouldn't have I wouldn't have a see it in my life And so be ready when you take that first step expect the unexpected Because where you think it's going sometimes where it's really going is 10 times better Than what you could have even imagined, but you have to take that first step Yeah, just a laugh for it for real. Yeah, absolutely. So all right you guys. Well, thank you jay. Is there anything else you want to say today before we Yeah, much love to you brice. Thanks a lot for always having me on thanks everybody just again You know give it give us this because you know like when we're doing this You know everybody watching is we're talking ourselves through it. So this is helpful for all of us This is helpful for the collective. This is how we do it We're giving you real-life examples of how we talk through things how we do this So continue this movement continue this revolution continue this conversations Whatever you want to call it and continue to tune in the brice's channel And jay's too on spiritually wrong you guys Awesome you guys. Well, we will see you next week. We're gonna. I know this is a day late today That was my fault. Yes. Well not my fault.

Having no other objections, I would move for a motion for adjournment. Motion second. And second. All those in favor of final adjournment for the Citizens Board of Review signify by saying aye. We stand adjourned.


What do you think of when you hear the word creativity? Is creativity evident in our classrooms and our schools today? In this ESU 8 Wednesday webinar, I hope to showcase some ways that we can foster more creativity for all learners in all of our schools. With a free set of resources from Apple called Everyone Can Create, you can see how this is possible on iPad, or bring it to life on Mac, or just employ the skills in a variety of lessons, however you see fit. There's something here for everyone, so that we can all create in order to learn. In the past, we would teach students how to create with a technology tool or device, but the shift is now in creating in order to learn. This is an important shift. It puts the students in the driver's seat. It empowers them to be in charge of their learning, to show what they know, to make their thinking visible, and to go deeper with their learning by that sheer act of creation. The ISD standards encourage this. In the ISD standards for students, we know that we are to drive our learners to be empowered, to be knowledge constructors, to be creative communicators and innovative designers among the rest of the standards. And in the Nebraska K-12 digital learning and ed tech plan, in this first gear shift wheel, in curriculum and instruction, there is a huge emphasis on creativity and innovation that's important for us as teachers. Educators online agree, in these social media posts, you can see that creativity is more than just the fine arts. It's more than just skills for students who have a certain artistic or creative aptitude. It's for all learners. It's a way to make learning deeper, more meaningful, and definitely help kids construct meaning from what they're learning about in school. I think my friend Cheryl here says it best, when she says the passion to create is the fuel that drives learning. And if creativity is at the heart of what moves our world forward, how can we as teachers be the engine to jumpstart that vehicle? We'll enter in Apple's Everyone Can Create series. Recently released, it's founded on the idea that technology can unleash the creative potential in everyone. These four free learner guides, as well as one free teacher guide, really highlight at a high level the power of employing creativity in our learning. These are not just user manuals, they're really beyond just giving kids an app and saying be creative. This is really a scaffold to making that happen. The books focus on why it matters to be creative, as well as activities to practice that creativity. And that culminating teacher's guide is really including over 300 integration ideas in five curricular areas, math, literacy and literature, history and social studies, science and coding. So I'm going to be your tour guide and give you a quick tour of these five Everyone Can Create books. Following that, I'll suggest some implementation ideas and actually show some of the newer features in the Apple apps that you can incorporate in your creative lessons. And then I'll leave you with a reminder to download the free resources today on Apple Books and get to creating with your students. So let's get started. Let's start with the Everyone Can Create drawing guide. The activities or chapters in this one include word art, doodle art, landscapes, portraits, still life, architectural design, logos, infographics and book design. I'm going to show you the lesson on creating logos, just some of the resources here, great graphics and terms and a design brief that you can download and use, emphasizing, communicating your message visually with shapes and color schemes and lettering, some graphic design skills, layout, balance, spacing and obviously some great examples as well. So great lessons in the Everyone Can Create drawing guide. Next is the music guide. This one focuses on GarageBand for the iPad but it makes everyone feel like they can be a musician as well.  You can create a song by constructing some ready-made GarageBand files that you can download and edit, Rhythmness and Beats, Chords and Melodic Instruments. There's even some practice on writing and recording lyrics, personal narrative, developing new lyrics or rewriting, remixing lyrics that are there. You can take the song, Can't Stop the Feeling and download the lyrics there and rewrite those and remix it as well. Post-production and some great things to make you feel like a musician and the Everyone Can Create music guide. Next is the Everyone Can Create photo. We know that everyone carries a photo camera with them almost at all times in their pockets nowadays. So this guide actually teaches some really great skills to make your photos better on your iPhone, your iPad, some activities like taking a photo walk, getting better pictures personifying them, how to do better portraits, self-portraits, there's silhouettes, different activities with them with scenery, with action, with creating a collage. There's one with finding the letters in your name to photograph and then collaging them together in Keynote. Step-by-step screenshots and great examples. So this is a lot of the photojournalism. We go to more complex skills of publishing like posters and additional publishing projects like a photo book and portfolio. And the Everyone Can Create video guide. We can better our video skills starting with clips, which is the easiest app that anybody could pick up and use instantly. And then it works its way through different projects like silent movies, like this one where you can see the different camera shots and camera angles and how to leave headroom or frame your video scene properly, coverage, close-up shots and aspect ratios, just really great videography skills for that inspiring cinematographer or anyone who wants to make a video project better. It progresses all the way into iMovie and creating a tutorial, a documentary film, a mobile report, and it concludes with a short film production. Writing a screenplay, designing your shots, mixing your audio, and creating that short film along with an example that can inspire students to try their own. Finally, let's take a look at the Everyone Can Create teacher guide. So you'll see some familiar projects, for example when we click on the video chapter, and we'll see that first movie with clips. But then at the end of every project idea are those additional integration ideas. And here's examples for creating math riddles, using a reading reflection video in literature class, history lessons speak. Here's ideas for science, a collision lab video, a coding, and then the silent movies as the second project. And then at the end are all those integration ideas as well. So there are the four chapters that follow the four books, video, music, photo, and drawing. And that is a great resource to get started with tomorrow in your classroom. I'd like to show some of the new features available for being creative in the Pages app on iPad. So I'm going to open that here on my iPad. And first I'm going to step on the teleprompter app option, which you can get to with any typed text in any document in Pages. You just go to the three dots on the top right, choose presenter mode. It's right down here in the orange button. And then you just tap to start the teleprompter. And it just auto scrolls for you. If you don't like the speed, you can speed it up by sliding your finger up or down. You can also tap it to stop it and start it. You can change the text size, the invert the colors if you'd rather have the teleprompter that way and change the speed with the turtle and rabbit slider. And of course, that just makes for an easy way to have a teleprompter available for speeches or for presentations or for actually movie scripts when you're recording with iMovie. Just use one iPad as the teleprompter. I'm going to get out of presenter mode here and show another feature that's available on the iPad in Pages. And it's called smart annotation. Now if I tap my screen with an Apple Pencil, it automatically knows that I want to either do a drawing down here in the bottom middle or smart annotation. And I can get to that without the Apple Pencil by using the plus menu and in the far tab which shows pictures, go down to drawing. Again, smart annotation is the feature I want to demonstrate. And that's where you go on top of the text. So with whatever color of pen you want, you can make marks on the text as well as a highlighter type of a mark and any annotations that you do stick with the text so that if I am done with that and a smart annotation mode and then I end up doing some editing. For example, I want to insert a couple of line breaks here. Notice that the highlighted text or the highlighted annotation stays with the text. It's not like on a separate layer and where the text moves, it actually stays with it. So it's pretty powerful for giving feedback, for proof reading, for just having students mark up and show their thinking as they're doing a piece of critical reading using smart annotation in pages on the iPad. I'm going to next go into a book. This is a new feature of Pages as well where we can start actually a new document to show you that there are these books templates, there are portrait books that are usually text heavy and then these landscape books where you can build your own digital book or in the case of the one I'm going to show you here, I actually created a template for the students to then complete as they work through the pages. So this is an all about me book and Riley wrote her name here on page one on page two. She added shapes with the plus and then the shapes tab. She could find all kinds of symbols and then color them on the t-shirt design to show things that she liked on page two. She added a drawing again with the plus and then over to the picture tab, the last tab and then a drawing to put her spaghetti and meatballs on her plate on page three. She could type some text and then even really more powerful is the ability to add digital audio buttons inside of your pages documents and you just do that with the plus and then insert a record audio feature. You get this record bar across the bottom where you can hit the microphone, read your text or give your oral response, hit stop. Insert is on the top right now and that gives me a new audio button. All these move and place on the page wherever you want them to go and when we export this book as a digital book, as an EPUB, then those are playable by the reader just by tapping on them with their finger. On page four the student could take a selfie, here she is with her teacher and another feature too that I want to show is that you can format that picture. She already changed the opacity a little bit in order to help her trace it and any image you can trace on top of with those drawing tools and try to make your own digital avatar. I'm going to use the fill tool first here and just get a peach colored to fill her face. Use the fill tool to get a shape to cover her whole face here and then we'll get some blonde hair. So again the fill tool fills it as you draw which is really nice so as I draw around her hair and around her face it's also filling it as it's drawing it so when I let up it's completely filled in. Of course we can use the pen tool as well, change the thickness and the opacity, get some different colored ink for that, draw on her additional features here, some beautiful eyes and maybe even feel a little bit like an artist and then I can also use the fill feature to fill it after the fact so if I just tap inside any closed space it'll fill it then with a color. Let's put some circles inside of the eyes and let's change the thickness of my pen tool here, eyelashes, okay there we go. Now I'm going to hit done on the top right and now this drawing kind of is its own movable image I can actually resize it, I can duplicate it, I can make a whole bunch of avatars if I want and more importantly I can delete the picture in the background so that it's just my drawing. This is a new feature too, if we go up to the paint brush there's this feature to animate the drawing so if I can turn that on now I can hit play and kind of watch it drawn back to me in the order that I drew it so that makes for a really engaging experience when kids are creating digital books. Let's go back out to my books and speaking of creating books here's another one that's kind of a combination of teacher created content and student created content all on the theme of flowers you can see that there's some text that I got from CK12 resource online open source curriculum materials on plant classification that students could annotate and mark up as they critically read. They could move labels to match different parts of a diagram like this. Here's a couple of poems that they could practice reading aloud so they could insert that audio recording again. Let them be as flowers always watered and place their reading fluency practices on top of the pages as well as putting their own text that they've typed or researched and adding drawings to those as well so we'll do plus add the drawing and draw our own little point set here on the page about shamrock nursery so that when we export this book we can have that drawing along to decorate our page again with the plus the three dots on the the top right hand corner and then the export feature here's where we get it to be an EPUB it'll make the first page into the book cover forest and when it opens up it'll open up in iBooks ready to read as a book so you can see here that I would just open it in iBooks or books and now it becomes its own digital book our flowering creativity that I can read and interact with the pages and see all the great stuff that was created so easily there's my audio let them be another underutilized app is numbers it's not just a spreadsheet creating app actually do content organization and help foster that creativity for your students when they're working here's an example of a science activity science and math activity that measures the effects of sleep on the brain so the students first have a learn tab where they can read some text and mark it up using the same features we were talking about in pages as far as annotating and drawing on top of of the text they can go to the think tab and they can move shapes into a graphic organizer and sort out their ideas in the predict tab they can make some plotted points and then create a scatter plot with their partners to measure the effects of sleep on mood and then test out their reaction time with an app again they could just type inside of the cells and then use the formulas in the spreadsheet app numbers to create calculations but they wouldn't have to this is just again an organizational feature that helps put an entire project or lesson in one space and helps kids manage that a little bit better you can see this example as well from mr. Maro science class where they did a backyard science sample count and they were able to put their team formation read some background knowledge keep track of their vocabulary terms make some predictions collect their data measure the results and then of course show their learning with a video at the end here's another example a literacy based activity where again there's a step-by-step set of directions and everything is organized in those tabs what you do on top of the tabs could be a combination of drawing photos music or video so it really puts all the everyone can create skills into one context and here's a vocabulary notebook so just another way to organize your words and terms as a learner here and I really like the ability to draw within a cell to make a picture to represent my thinking but then keep track of it all in these nice organized columns or insert an image into the cell and then they can make their own tabs and collect their own words and even record audio of the pronunciation of those terms so there's some great uses for numbers that are kind of outside of the then every day so where could we use this in our classrooms in our schools I really think that the sky is the limit some ideas that came to me as I perused the everyone can create learning series was in high ability classes where you're trying to stretch and encourage kids to go beyond turn them loose with one of the books and let them teach themselves in blended learning in the classroom maybe as a part of a station rotation they could rotate through different activities or have one station be self-directed with the use of the everyone can create series I think that these guides would be great for a community engagement project where students could teach adults different skills with photography with music with drawing or with video production on mobile devices definitely in a digital media or a technology exploratory class but maybe not even in a traditional sense in addition to teaching with the guides you could also let students choose from them perhaps a passion project or 20% time project based in one of the four areas that resonates most with them to truly personalize their learning and and help them again extend beyond what their teacher knows or what they are familiar with already I'd like to share with you kind of a closing message that was created by Apple Distinguished Educators around the world as a part of when they were asked what creativity meant to them and why it's so critical in today's schools we believe every person can contribute something new a tune a design an image a unique point of view it doesn't matter whether you are very young or very old all humans have ideas and stores which must be told some people will deny they have this power at their core but to be human is to make what wasn't there before with the right tools you have an unlimited potential to ideate we believe in you because we believe everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone can create activity definitely needs a champion and I believe that that champion is you each and every one of you the classroom is where seeds of creativity are planted and each of us just needs a little nurturing that can come from the everyone can create guides feel free to learn more on beyond this webinar by sharing your own reflections or searching for other people's favorite activities projects and ideas using the everyone can create hashtag or tuning in to an apple edu chat on Twitter and as always feel free to reach out to me Katie Morrow at ESU 8 with any questions or project ideas that you would like an extra set of hands with good luck and happy creating


Hurricane season is in full swing, and CPSC has three tips to help you weather the storm. First, make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have fresh batteries, and they work properly. Second, place CO alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Smoke alarms should go on every level in each sleeping room and outside the sleeping area. Third, carbon monoxide is the invisible killer. It's colorless and odorless, so keep portable generators at least 20 feet away from your home when in use. Follow these tips to keep your family safe. A friendly reminder from your friends at CPSC.


Hello, everyone, Nihao Sanghai. So today, we'll be having a small talk on understanding how to secure Kubernetes using Webhook as well as Keystone. Myself, Somita Kuntia, I am a part of Erikson India, working as a solution architect. We work as a part of community contributors to the ASC project. I have with myself, Pradeep. Hello, everyone. This is Pradeep here. I also work as a solution architect at Erikson India, and I also contribute to the ASC community. Thank you, Pradeep. So let's move on. Are we having a technical glitch here? OK. So what we're going to talk today. So Azenda is to have to understand a little bit of, why do you need access control in Kubernetes API? And then we'll move on to have an overview of some Kubernetes admin control, and then understand what is the Webhook mode, how to do that, and how to configure a Keystone authenticator, and then the benefits of that. So let's move on. And when you talk about access control, why it is required. So you know that the KubeLate, it exposes, it provides the STTPS endpoints, which gives you access to your nodes and containers, and you have a lot of powerful control over that. But when you have that, you have to be responsible when who can access and what can be accessed, right? So that is one of the needs for us to ensure that there is a proper access control is there. So either you can give access for a specific operation to everybody for all the resources we have, objects we have, or you can not allow them. But doing that, it will lose the flexibility what is required for the Kubernetes API, or the APIs which exposes. So what is necessary is to have something which provides a good access control at a granular level where you can decide the privileges, you can decide the permissions for a user that what they can access, what they cannot access. For example, namespace, ports, or any other resources, and what kind of operations they can do over it. So that is why it is imminent to have access control permissions, which separates the responsibility and depending on the action a client might perform. Apart from the access controls, the granularity we need to have, we also need to have an authentication mechanism. The Kubernetes comes in multiple ways, you can authenticate, but keystones, if you can leverage keystone itself, it has a lot of advantages that we can leverage apart from what Kubernetes provides by default. One of the biggest advantages we have is the rotating infrastructure credentials. So we can have keystone to rotate your tokens periodically to make it more secure. And the other part is that, suppose you have an open stack infrastructure already been using, you have a user base to that, and you also having a Kubernetes cluster, maybe on the top of the open stack running on it, and you want to leverage the same tenant users so that you don't have to create a duplicate users for Kubernetes. And then, like example, having an existing LDAP back in for the keystone or something, this gives you a good opportunity to leverage that having the same keystone users can be used as a Kubernetes user to provide an access grant. So that is what we'll talk about two things. One is having an overview for access control, for privilege, and then keystone as an authentication mechanism. Moving on to the next, we have a high level overview, how it works and how the integration happens. As you can see, there is a CUBE CTL client. So this is all the external communication that happens to the Kubernetes. You can see that. The first thing the CUBE CTL clients do is that it can access from version 1.8.0. We have the CUBE CTL provides option to integrate the OpenStack environment variables or a keystone user environment variables. It can pulse it from there. It can request keystone to get the token out of it. So once you get back the token, the CUBE CTL client, then again passes as part of the request, the token. Instead of credentials, it passes the tokens to the Webhook API server. Now, when you talk about Webhook API servers, it's considered of a two part. You can see that it's like a CUBE API server containers running as well as a Webhook container running along with the policies. So CUBE API server is the one who takes it and then it bypasses it to your keystone to validate. Sorry, once it passes to the Webhook server, which again passes on the same token to the keystone to get it validated. Whether that token is valid or not, and once it's validated back, the Webhook takes care of requesting for the RBAC policies that it has been defined, and then depending on the state of the request, it saves back to the H3D, the store that we have for the Kubernetes users. So this is a very high level overview. Let's move on to have little more details of the configuration, and my colleague Pradeep will give a view on that. Thanks, Pradeep, what do you want? Thanks, Amitra. So yeah, this gives you an overview. So this basically has two parts, if you see here. One is the client part, and the other one is the server part. So we need to configure the Webhook with the keystone in order for it to authenticate and authorize any user who is trying to access any of the resources on the pods on the Kubernetes cluster. So first, let's see how you can do on the server side, and then we'll see at the client side. So basically, we all know about the Kubernetes Admission Controller. So Admission Controller is the one which is responsible for authenticating, authorizing, and also providing access to various resources on the Kubernetes cluster. So first thing that we will have to do is add this Webhook filter in the Admission Controller as part of your configuration. So once you add this, so the requests that are coming to the Kube API server will automatically get routed to the Webhook, and via the Webhook, you can actually configure Keystone which will do the authentication and authorization for you. So here if you see, there are two parts again to it in the Admission Controller, so which is the mutating admission and the validating admission. The mutating admission is basically an interceptor. So it just intercepts any request that comes in, ensures that it is valid, and if it is valid, then it sends you the validation where it validates the token, whether it's a valid user and also has a valid role, and then it sends the response back to the client. So this is just an example of, that was on the server part. So this is an example config file on the client side. So you must have all configured the kubectl config on the dot kube slash config file. So this is how you would need to make the modifications. So if you see the highlighted one, which is basically doing the exec, and this is the authenticator that is basically used in order to authenticate against the Keystone. So you will need to add this section and you'll need to create a context, and once you create the context, you can route all the calls to the Webhook API server. The server that I'm showing there on the top is basically a Webhook API server that I'm pointing to. So this config file is for the versions V11 and above. So for the clients, for people who are using clients older than V1.1, V1.11 will have to make a slight modification. If you look at the end, you will have to use just a second. Probably it's on the next slide. I'll just show, I'll go back to that. So this basically showing the policy configuration. So now we know that in order to do the RBAC configuration on the Webhook, you'll need to define the roles and those roles have to be existing on the Webhook server. Once the Keystone, let's say we have an admin role or a non-admin role on Keystone. So the roles have to be defined and the actions for that particular role also has to be defined as to whether an admin or a non-admin user can access some of the operations, some of the resources in the Kubernetes cluster and whether he should be restricted to access some of the clusters as well. So this defines all the actions. If you see there, the verbs give you whether you can do a Qubectl, get pods, get list pods, watch operation and so on. And it is given to only the default namespace and only an admin or a member role can actually do it. So if you don't want to give the access, you can probably restrict it in this policy file. So this is the one I was talking about. So this is the older client on the, for the older clients, basically we 1.8 to 1.10. And the slight modification if you see in the bottom of the slide, the auth provider instead of the exec command that you saw earlier, and you'll need to give the name as OpenStack. So OpenStack is basically a name that I'm giving for my deployment. So yeah, so we've seen how we can configure the client and the server in order to ensure that you use Webhook and Keystone. The, what are the, I mean, why would I really want to do it? What are the benefits?  If you want to add a new user with a service account, then you can actually add him easily without really having to change any of the cluster configuration. So you can just add him on the LDAP. If you're using an LDAP user, then just add that user on the LDAP and you should be able to quickly have him access the cluster. And this also ensures that some of the, some parts of the cluster are inaccessible if you want only to give some, some access privileges to, to some resources. Like for example, you do not want somebody to do some destructive operations on Kubernetes, right? So you can just give a get or read only access to some of the parts and other resources. So that's, that's basically the use. And obviously you can also, you can also change rules in case if you want to for some of the, I mean, on the fly you can actually do a config map, do a get config map, get the config map and then apply the config map back so that you can change the policies for a particular user. So all those things can be done without really modifying the code. So that, those are the benefits that you're getting by, by doing the authentication authorization with Webhook and Keystone. So these are the references in case if anybody of you are interested to go through this and get more information, please go through these links. And obviously we'll be reachable on IRC or Slack so you can always reach out to us as well. Thank you.
