Thanks for that PWA thing. I've been looking at it, I've got Lighthouse and Stool somewhere there, but I haven't got into it yet. I must say I prefer AdCache. It was so much simpler how you could just name your files. It just worked. Now everything's so much more complicated with this JavaScript stuff. Show them it. I got the JavaScript for T if everyone's wondering. Oh, I'm miserable. Oh, it's not working? It's not receiving? Sorry. What OS are you in? What OS are you in? Arch Linux? Other bits? How many Arch Linux users? I've compiled it myself. Oh, Jimmy, you're on Arch Linux. Join us losers after the next users.  Okay, so serverless is quite a hot topic. Is it working now? It's not working. That's actually quite good because I was going to show you something proprietary. Maybe it's going to all work when USB-C comes around. Yeah, serverless is something my colleague was saying, oh, we're going to do serverless app. And just like, I guess there's a hype cycle with all technology. When I got down to doing serverless app, I felt like I was the only one doing it because if you look on the stack of the flow, there's quite a few questions about the topic. I get into where I had trouble with serverless. Oh, it's starting? Okay, it's starting. Okay, so serverless is pretty hot. Everyone knows what AWS stands for, right? It stands for, ow! It stands for, okay, full disclosure, guys. I'm a Trump supporter. I'm joking. Full disclosure, I'm a white guy, married to an Asian woman. I think it's in your form. I am a Amazon hero, which means Amazon sort of selected me for running the Amazon user group. So yeah, I'm invested in, I guess, Amazon. But if you can do the same sort of stuff in other platforms, let me know because I am just generally interested. But yeah, I think AWS stuff is the best right now. You know, full disclosure, take what I have to say with a grain of salt. My question is online. I also have a YouTube channel with my keynote out, so subscribe to my YouTube channel. Now, this is the company I work for. It's called Sport. It does, we do Bollywood. So we're like the Netflix of Bollywood films. So yeah, we use a lot of AWS stuff and that sort of stuff. So this is why I cracked out keynotes on my live computer. This, so I just did it with the keynotes and it was easier. So this is where we are, I think, right now. Like, you know, how many of you guys are like on a lamp stack with a bit of jQuery? You know what I mean? A little bit of jQuery here. How many people are here?  Just three? You're definitely there. I'm surprised you didn't use Josh here. And now we're, I would say we're pretty, I mean, the hype cycle is pretty much here on the microservices. So in my workplace, this is like some sort of Rails API and this is ReactJS. Am I right guys? Are we here? Are you with me? Are you awake? Christ sake! Yeah, I think we're pretty much here. I think it's called microservices. Sorry, I didn't even find what that means.  The next is Apache. Apache. Probably nginx. Probably majority. And probably, yeah, maybe case people. I mean, this is also typically Rails. So microservices, yeah. In my workplace, they run Rails and some ReactJS. Or some strategy-generated pages. That's something I've done recently. Strategy-generated pages. Oh yes. I'm so happy to see the low graph going down today. And a big wave around the top all the way out. But now everyone is talking about servers.  Full stack!  I'm scared everybody. But it's, I think it's cool. I think it's cool. But it's not a big assumption for servers. So I guess servers in my opinion is where you work entirely with JavaScript. All day, every day. You're basically writing Lambda functions. And the service that I want to describe today is that I'm building my own, like, hmm. Is it called an MPM module or something? The package.json and webpack. And then I pull in AWS SDK. And then I host it on S3. And basically it's a static JavaScript app that's talking to AWS APIs. This is how I define a server. I think, is that the right definition? Guys, I don't know. Please make it so, because I'm not sure. Is it serverless or less or servers? So... And another thing is like...  I guess. I guess. And that's supposed to be good. So what makes serverless possible, right? It has some major assumptions. Like, you need some extra APIs. I've worked with APIs, like I'm sure some of you have. And the nuances of using APIs is like... It's pain. It's pain. And then if you're in something like a terrible internet country, like... What country has terrible internet? Indonesia or something?  With extra APIs. We're making a huge assumption here. I'm assuming that Amazon is really close to me, super reliable and has a lot of APIs. It's like, that's not really the case for most of the world. Let's be honest. And Amazon is decayed. But the good news is that I've discovered, like, doc lines and things like that, that makes talking in JSON very easy, I'd say. Then you need the security thing. To be honest, this is one of the things I came here to sort of consult with you guys, because I'm really not sure about security in this. I'm really not sure, because like, yeah, we're building in our company logic into this app, which you could probably decompile, and then you could probably hack me. I think the security is a little bit dubious. And the way that like, oh, all two, and all these sort of like STS tokens have passed around, it's a little bit scary. But the good news is that Amazon have like, quite fine-grained control, and you can have a look at access, like access advising, you can see exactly what's been accessed. So Amazon kind of take care of this thing, but not really. The security thing is the nightmare. So my big suggestion, I hope you guys can remember this, is that if you're going to do a service app, I think try to internally to your company, as opposed to that, before like, going whole hog and coming with it. That's my advice. And then yeah, you need excellent tooling out there. So it's like, what was life like before Google DevTools? Google DevTools have saved me. Again and again. Firebug. Jesus man, it's like walking through modern glasses. Yeah, I guess Firebug was good until when Google hired that guy or something. But yeah, you need like really cool tools to do this stuff, I think. Who's using Webpack, for example? Maintainer. What? Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I like Webpack. Yeah, so I want you to say the hardest thing about this whole thing was actually setting up the Oval 2 authentication so that the person using the app can get access to the APIs. It was quite complicated. I think the easiest way to do it is just use Amazon and Cognito. But like many companies, who uses Google Apps for like doing the whole frickin' thing in the company? Is it just me and my employers? Come on guys, don't be shy. Okay, Google Apps is pretty common. And that means that you have to go through... I think Google is the worst, actually. Google, you have to go down this weird place. I don't know what to call it. Oh no, I missed it. Oh, you have to go through this Google 8 Guide and you have to find this thing. You have to set it up. And then you map that client ID back to Amazon and with some tinkering and all that sort of stuff, it might, it should work. And if you guys run into trouble, I've done this a few times now, so you can probably ask me. And then furthermore, you can limit the scope of who can log into your app to a domain, like my employers at school.com. So basically, if everything goes super-duper well, you should get something like this. And you can see that. Basically, it's limited to at school.com. Oh gosh, that's like a month of work to get that far, almost. So once you've got this horrible authentication puzzled out of the way, then you can log in and gain access to Amazon API as you're away. You can build a serverless application. Do I need to tell you how to do that? Google App. No. Anyway, I have a demo for you guys. Well, do I have a demo? Yeah. I wrote, if you can remember this URL, you can have a look at it. It's basically, where is it? I killed it. Oh no, here it is. Basically, it's a very simple view app. Who's using Vue.js? I'm using, I'm hitting all the things. Serverless view, JavaScript. PWA, no, I'm not using PWA. But this is a very simple app. MIT license, whatever. And you can basically, all it is demonstrating me looking at a down and low DV table. That's amazing. It took me months to get here. Am I an idiot? Okay, in my last few seconds, I'll show you what I've done at work. So at work, we're all Amazon up really. Some movies come into the S3 folder. And then it gets put in the DynamoDB. And then you edit the movie here. And as you can see, this URL is just what you call it, an S3 website URL. So everything here is serverless. Everything is driven by like Lambda APIs or Lambda APIs and the AWS SDK DynamoDB. I even bothered to write a little S3 interface as my internet was working.  But yeah, I even wrote like a little S3 interface and a thing to upload files. And I think after getting this far and everything like this, and after being bruised and beaten by Docker and all that sort of stuff, I'm loving this. I think I've seen the future, guys. I'm actually loving this. Of course, I'm making some assumptions that this thing we have probably and AWS is just extraordinary. But this is the way to go.  And it is quite cool. And especially with the tooling that Webpack provides, like I'm just blown away and I can just beam into a file, check something, and then it's just reloaded. That's why I can cry. It comes so far. So I'm like 295, right? Well, it looks like 295.  But yeah. Okay, hold on. Watch out. This is some CSS. So, yeah, I think this is the way to go. If someone knows a better way, please let me know. But I think with Amazon APIs and the JavaScript, I think I'm pretty cool about this. Can someone throw a cat on me? Is I doing my way, so I'm not sure that I'm not delusional? I think it's great. I use a lot of those Amazon APIs. I also have a server. I have serverless apps. I have a server. Which is better, man. Serving multiple times. But I think there is a learning curve to the Amazon APIs. Yeah. The documentation, once you get used to it, it's not that bad. But it is a pain. I must say it's a learning curve. But the big breakthrough for me is really using doc clients. Because that's more JavaScript-orientating or something like that. If you use DinoDB by default, you have to name your types all the time, which isn't curating. But doc client makes it easy. Yeah, I guess the trouble is, Amazon, I don't know how long they're going to be around for, but there's something else, and then there'll be another API you have to work with. There's no standard API for doing credit operations, is there? I've got three days, though. Oh, okay. I'm taking questions. What's your favorite volume movie?  Volume Movie. June 3, with the girls, and the iconic soundtrack. Easy, next. Do you say doc client? Doc client.  Yeah. And that's the revelation. I was going to link it there, but that would probably make you cry. I know you already said this, but how reliable do you think those connections are in low internet? Low internet? Yeah. Like in India? Yeah.   I think this is a fantastic place to do your next little internal app. Yeah.  Don't bother me. So when you said data to the server, can you say this is data just for me or this is a piece of data that other people will be able to access? Yeah. You can set the policy in S3. I had management thing. I was going to try to show you a policy, but for some reason. Yeah. I mean, you have really good control here. You have awesome control. Is that the server or the server? Or let's, oh, I see something wrong about AWS. Do you have anything like, if you can get some? Not a question. What do you mean?  What's something? No. I mean, sometimes do the WebSocket server do that? No, no, no, no. But like, boys, do we actually, I mean, I'm in DevOps, so I have to maintain WebSocket server.  Maintaining WebSocket server is not fun. Really? Sockets are very expensive. So yeah, and use it for a chat server. Please blank this out. We should kill the chat server. We should kill the chat feature. No one uses it. Only creating slammers do. Okay, carry on. How can you handle, for example, the interactions with serverless? Do you think, actually, you just do a gap course to document and update? But you can make sure to be in each time server as it's the one that's called to the live. How can you not stay in the pool of connection services? I mean, I do it very madly and probably badly by just doing an update. When I'm on a push button, I don't do anything very, like, back around the evening, you know what I mean? I'm doing it very madly. I mean, you're welcome to look at my code and laugh. But yeah, it's just like fetch calls and whatever. I'm actually using the SDK, what am I talking about? I just use that. Amazon SDKs.  Can I take a picture? It's really wonderful. Oh, last one. Yeah, cool. Okay, thanks guys.


Thanks a lot, Mariana. So I'm going to talk about our work revisiting the cryptographic hardness of finding a Nash equilibrium. This is based on joint work with Sanjamm Gargan Omkant Pandey. Let's start with the notion of Nash equilibrium. Nash equilibrium, as you may all be well aware, is an extremely popular solution concept in game theory. Informally speaking, a set of solution strategies is said to be Nash equilibrium if no individual player tends to deviate unilaterally from this current strategy to get a higher payoff. To illustrate, let's consider a toy example of a game between two players with the following payoff matrix. And from the informal description that I just gave, it's easy to see that AA is actually the Nash equilibrium for this game. If we allow the players to define a probability distribution over the set of strategies available to them, then Nash in fact proved that every finite game has such an equilibrium. A question that has intrigued complexity theorists for a very, very long time is that, given a game can the Nash equilibrium be efficiently computed. Before moving on, let's review what we know about the complexity of finding Nash equilibrium. So a theorem of Nash actually proves that Nash equilibrium belongs to the complexity class TFNP. So TFNP is the set of all NP search problems where every instance of the problem is guaranteed to have at least one solution. So since Nash theorem proves that every finite game has a Nash equilibrium, this puts Nash equilibrium in the complexity class TFNP. A consequence of this is that it cannot be NP hard unless NP is equal to co-NP. An important step in understanding the complexity of finding Nash equilibrium was taken by Papadami through in 94 who showed that it belongs to a complexity class Ppad. Ppad is a subclass of TFNP that reduced to a special problem called as end-of-line. So let's see what end-of-line means. So we have a large graph where every node has indegree as well as outdegree at most one. So this is a directed graph and you can see from graph, the basic graph theory that this is actually a disjoint union of cycles and lines. And this large graph is succinctly described by a function f. So what does this function do? Given a node y and a special symbol next, it gives the next node which is next node in the graph which is the out neighbor of y. So this can be thought of as some sort of successor of this node and similarly given y and a special symbol previous, it gives the previous node x. So this large graph is succinctly described by this function f. We are also given a source node where it has indegree 0 and outdegree 1. And the goal is given this source and this succinctly describable function f to find the end of the line which is either another source or a sink. Notice that such a point, such a node is guaranteed to exist by a parity argument in this graph. So through a series of subsequent works, it was established that Nash equilibrium is not only in P-pad but is in fact P-pad complete. So understanding the complexity of P-pad is extremely crucial for algorithmic game theorists. So problems in P-pad are hard to solve in polynomial time but proving unconditional hardness results is extremely challenging. This is similar to the state of assumptions in cryptography and it was in fact suggested by Papadami through that maybe cryptographic assumptions could be used to prove hardness of P-pad. And in fact, for some super classes of P-pad this was in fact true because cryptographic assumptions like factoring and collision resistant hashing was used to prove their hardness. But such a result was not known for the most interesting class which is P-pad until very recently when Bitanski, Panept and Rosen showed that quasi-pollinomally hard IO and sub-exponentially hard one-way functions imply P-pad hardness. This is proved by our two lemmas. The first lemma shows that quasi-pollinomally hard IO and sub-exponentially hard one-way functions can be used to construct hard instance of a problem called a sink of verifiable line which I'll describe it very soon. And the second lemma shows that sink of verifiable line in polynomial time reduces to end of line which is the complete problem for P-pad. These two lemmas imply the first theorem. So before moving on let's review what is this sink of verifiable line because it will be important for our work as well. So it is similar to that of end of line in the sense that we also have a large directed graph but instead of a disjoint union of cycles and lines we have a single directed line. And we have the source node. And recall that end of line instance was succinctly described by a function F that acted as some sort of predecessor as well as the successor circuit. But here we are going to just have a successor circuit that gives the next node in the graph. And in addition to the successor circuit we also have something called as the verification circuit. So what does this do? Given a node label X and an integer n it outputs one if and only if X is the nth node from the source. And given these the source the successor and the verification circuit the goal is to find the end of line. It was shown by Bitansky at all using ideas from an earlier work of Abort at all that is real in polynomial time reduces to end of line. Before moving on let's review the notion of program obfuscation. So obfuscator is a compiler that takes a program P as input and outputs another program that preserves functionality but hides all implementation details. So this is actually formalized through the notion of virtual black box which says that an obfuscator code is equivalent to that of black box implementing the same program. And this notion seemed to be too hard to be achievable and Barak et al in their work in 2001 showed that there exist certain functionalities that are not VBB obfuscatable. So they considered a natural relaxation of the notion called as indistinguishability obfuscation. So indistinguishability obfuscation requires that for any two circuits or programs that are functionally equivalent and obfuscation of one is indistinguishable to obfuscation of another. And the first candidate was given by Garg, Gentry, Hallevi, Recoa, Sahai and Waters in 2013. So before moving on let's try to get some intuition on how obfuscation and one way functions could be used to construct hard instance of sync of verifiable line which seems nothing to do with any crypto that we know. So to get the main intuition let's assume for now that VBB exists and let's ignore the verification circuit. So we need to construct hard instance of sync of verifiable line which defines a directed line. So the instance is as follows. The ith node from the source is given by a node label i followed by a prf computation on i. You can think of this prf computation as some sort of signature on this message i. The source is given by 0 prfs on 0 and the last node is given by 2 to the k minus 1 prfs on 2 to the k minus 1. k can be thought of as some sort of security parameter so there are 2 to the k nodes in total. Since we are ignoring the verification circuit we need to now define the successor circuit. So let's see what the successor circuit does. So it has the prfs hardware in it and it takes as input x comma sigma which is a candidate node label. It first checks if sigma is a valid signature on this message x. If it is not the case then it outputs the special symbol invalid. If signature is valid and x is less than 2 to the k minus 1 that is x is not the last node then it outputs the next node which is given by x plus 1 prfs on x plus 1 and if x is the last node then you have found the end of line which means that it outputs a special symbol bin. So the hard instance consists of the source node followed by an obfuscation of this successor circuit. So let's see if the obfuscation satisfies the VBB security guarantee then this constitutes a hard instance. So what does this successor circuit do? It just computes some prfs, checks the validity and outputs another prf value and note recall that VBB security guarantee guarantees that any giving the access to the obfuscated circuit is equivalent to giving black box access to the same program and we all know giving black box access to a prf is equivalent to giving black box access to a random function and in particular the signature on this last node is some random value and notice that no adversary can guess this random value except with negligible probability but we have made a very strong assumption that VBB exists and VBB for pseudo random functions has strong limitations and the main contribution of bitansky et al is that even if we assume sub-exponentially hard hyo this in fact constitutes a hard instance of SVL but a natural question to ask is that can we base p-pad hardness on simpler assumptions? So let's view things in a larger perspective. IO is now a central tool in cryptography with leading to new and improved constructions of almost all known primitives and a drawback is that all known constructions of IO either require exponential number of assumptions or results in exponential loss in security and this seems to be inherent with IO and in fact several applications of IO require sub-exponentially hard IO to base their security on. So a natural larger goal would be can we base IO applications on simpler assumptions or in more general do applications of IO require the full power of IO? For Nash equilibrium which is the focus of this talk we first improve the bitansky et al's result by showing that using polynomially hard IO and polynomially hard one-way permutations we can base p-pad hardness and towards a larger goal of basing applications on IO on simpler assumptions we show that we can use polynomially hard compact public key functional encryption and one-way permutations to to base p-pad hardness on. Notice that polynomially hard compact public key functional encryption is a polynomial falsifiable assumption. So using this recent work of bitansky et al we can in fact weaken our assumption to just assume single secret key functional encryption and public key encryption. So let's concentrate first on the first theorem where we show that IO, polynomially hard IO can be used to base p-pad hardness. So before moving on let's try to see why bitansky et al's construction incurs an exponential loss in security. Recall that the hard instance is as follows the ith node is given by IPRFS on I and the successor circuit is as follows. So the so the main crux of this proof using IO is as follows. Suppose if we indistinguishably change the successor circuit such that it has this extra if condition that is on x equal to 2 to the k minus 1 which is the last node irrespective of whether signature sigma is valid or not it always outputs invalid. Suppose if we are able to change the successor circuit to this one in an indistinguishable manner then we are essentially done because no matter what an adversary who is given the successor circuit cannot win this game and this actually involves several steps. So the first step is to change the successor circuit such that on some random u where u is some integer in 1 to 2 to the k minus 1 we change the successor circuit such that on input x equal to u irrespective of whether signature sigma is valid or not we always output invalid. So this can be thought of as cutting the successes cutting this directed line at u because given this circuit you cannot go from u to u plus 1 and this can be thought of as puncturing the successor circuit at u. So this step is actually a straightforward application of the punctured programming approach of Sahai inverters. So let's see the next step. Now we have the successor circuit punctured at u and the next step is to increase the punctured interval to include u plus 1 as well. So for this step we are going to use the fact that since it's punctured at u it does not output the PRF computation on u plus 1 but recall that this PRF computation is in fact used to check the validity of the signature at this node that is on input sigma it has to check and if x is equal to u plus 1 it has to check if the signature is same as that of PRF is on u plus 1. But the main observation of Bitansky et al is that this check can be done in some sort of encrypted form and this encrypted form can be hybrid away to some random junk value so that for no signature sigma this test passes. So this is a very high level overview and this can actually be formalized using the punctured programming approach. I won't be going into the details of how this is done. So using this fact that it does not output PRF is on u plus 1 we can increase the punctured interval to include u plus 1 as well and this is repeated for u plus 2 u plus 3 and so on up until we have the guarantee that this circuit does not output the PRF computation on the last node and hence we can increase the punctured interval to include 2 to the k minus 1 as well. So we are essentially done because given x equal to 2 to the k minus 1 no matter what if sigma is valid or not this circuit always outputs invalid. But this actually needs exponentially many hybrids because at every step we are constrained to increase the punctured interval by only 1 and this seems to be inherent with this approach. So let's see if we can do better and it seems that we can do better and our main idea is to increase the punctured interval to include an exponential number of points at every step. And the key inside that enables us to do is by considering a richer structure for node labels. So let's see how. So we have this SPL instance and now let's consider what is the ith node label. So let's consider i and let's consider the binary representation of i which is given by i1, i2 up to ik. So i can be thought of as k-bit binary strength. The ith node label is given by i followed by a PRF computation on i1 which is the first bit followed by a PRF computation on first two bits i1, i2, so on up till PRF computation on the entire i. So notice that if we just have this PRF computation on entire i, this is equivalent to Bitansky et al's approach. But we are considering instead of just a single signature, we are considering k signatures on every bit, every prefix of i. And now the successor circuit checks the signature on every prefix and if every prefix is valid, then it outputs the next node. And let's see how this considering this richer structure actually enables us to base it on polynomial hardness. So for this, let's consider the case for k equal to 3. We have 8 nodes. And let's go through the proof steps. So the first step is same as that of Bitansky et al. We puncture at some random point. Let's say it's 0, 1, 1. And we now extend the punctured interval but this time with larger size. So let's see how. So let's assume that we have the circuit punctured at 0, 1, 1. And we have the guarantee that it does not output the PRF computation on 1, 0, 0. Notice that this PRF is used to check the validity of the input signature at this node, which is 1, 0, 0. And using this checking the signature in encrypted form approach, we can extend this punctured interval to include 1, 0, 0 as well. But notice that we haven't gained anything because this is same as what Bitansky et al's approach also does. But that's not the end of it. We also have the guarantee that given this successor circuit is punctured at U, it does not output the PRF computation on 1, 0. And this PRF is used to check the validity of the second prefix at both 1, 0, 0 and 1, 0, 1 because they both share 1, 0 as a common prefix. And using this ideas as that I described earlier, we can increase the punctured interval to include these two nodes. We have gained something now because we can increase the punctured interval to include two nodes instead of just 1. And that's not the end of it. We also have the guarantee that it does not output the PRF value on 1. And notice that all the subsequent nodes share the same first bit, which is 1. And this is actually used to check the validity of the input signature on all these subsequent nodes. So we can in fact use similar techniques to increase the punctured interval to include all these nodes in just one shot. So more generally, if we can increase the punctured interval at all the prefixes that are not output in some sense. And this technique of increasing the punctured interval at an exponential number of points in every step as leads us to construct trapdoor permutations from polynomial hardness of IOS. So in the remaining time, let's see how we construct, how our hard instance follows from polynomially hard compact functional encryption. So let's review the notion of functional encryption. So functional encryption generalizes public key encryption in the following sense. We have some data which is in encrypted form. Now the secret keys correspond to certain functionalities. So let's say the secret keys correspond to F1, F2, F3 and F4. And the correctness guarantee is that given the secret key for certain functionality and a cipher text encrypting some data, you can get the output of the functionality on the underlying data. And the security guarantee is that nothing else about the data is leaked. So let's see our main ideas behind our second theorem. So the main idea is to simulate the effect of obfuscation using compact functional encryption. So one might think that we could use the FE to IO transformation of Anand Tanjain and Bitansky and Kuntanathan. But this incurs an exponential loss in security. So an intuitive reason for this is that this has so recall for IO we need to argue that for any two functionally equivalent circuits C0 and C1 obfuscation of C0 is indistinguishable to obfuscation of C1. So this FE to IO transformation actually changes from the obfuscating evaluating C0 at every input to evaluating C1 at every input. And this has to be done for one input at a time. And since the number of inputs is actually exponential, this leads to an exponential loss in security. So this seems like some sort of non stutter because we wanted to base our P-pad hardness on polynomial hardness of compact functional encryption. But the question we ask again is that does this application of IO require the full power of IO but or can we deal with some sort of weekend notion of IO? And it seems that we can deal with some weekend notion of IO for this application. So recall that instead of changing the distribution of the obfuscation on every input, the key insight is that if we can change the distribution at only a polynomial number of input points, then we can achieve, we can show P hardness of P-pad. And at a high level, the polynomial number of input points that we want to change the obfuscation actually is given by a given by theorem one. We call the theorem one shows that we can base P-pad hardness on polynomially hard IO and which which and the proof technique that we used was to change the distribution at certain points. And the number of points was guaranteed to be polynomial. And and this actually gives the polynomial number of points at which we need to change the distribution. And realizing this idea is actually in incur several challenges which we saw in the saw in a paper. And I won't have time to cover all such all those challenges. And the techniques that we developed seem to be generic enough and we actually have, we can base applications on IO on polynomially hard compact FE. So let me tell you some of them. So in a joint work with Mark, we construct trapdoor permutations from polynomially hard compact functional encryption. Prior result were known only from subexponentially hard IO. We construct non interactive key exchange for unbounded number of parties from poly hard compact public key encryption for functional encryption. And prior result was known from polynomially hard IO. And we could construct adaptively secure FE with against unbounded collusions from single key selectively secure compact FE. And I'm sure that there would be many more applications. Thank you.


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE, covering Samsung Developer Conference 2017. Brought to you by Samsung. Okay, we're back here live in San Francisco at Musconi West for exclusive coverage of Samsung Developer Conference. I'm John Furrier, the co-founder of SiliconANGLE Media and the host of theCUBE here. Our next guest is Mary Mann, Vice President of Global Business Development at SE Works, Inc., former entrepreneur gamer, still entrepreneurial in her new world, but has seen the evolution of gaming. Here to talk about augmented reality, virtual reality, and kind of trajectory of life in the digital era. Welcome to theCUBE. Okay, thank you. So we were just talking before we came on about the evolution of your career. You had a startup, you sold it, it was a game, and you've been gaming since the late 90s and looking forward. What is the evolution of gaming and how it relates to augmented reality? Because there's a debate that goes on in the industry. Oh, VR is the next big thing, but yet it failed.  There's still more head room to do. Not necessarily a bad thing, because now augmented reality is winning. You're seeing it in industrial IoT, you're seeing augmented reality. So what's your thoughts about how people should think about the evolution of this new wave of innovation? I think that with any new technology that's really life changing for society as a whole, nothing ever gets done on the first iteration or the first phase. Things will never really take off on the first round, especially when you're going mass consumer, because people need time for learned behavior. People are creatures of habit. They like to stick with what's familiar. And in order for them to move from one leap to the next, you need baby steps. And those baby steps, unfortunately, will include pioneers in whatever field, whether it be AR or VR, that need to blaze the trail for their successors to come and start building on top of that as well. I read something really interesting this morning coming here, where if you have someone who's trying to dig a well and you need to dig 10 feet, the first person fails because they only dug the first foot. Second person, third person, subsequently, until the ninth person, that well is not dug, but that 10th person who successfully has the water filling the well, that 10th person could not have dug that final last foot if the first nine didn't go before him. And I consider that's really the phase that VR and AR are near as well. We needed that first iteration of VR in order to have the new generation of engineers, entrepreneurs, product people, mindset people to start thinking about how to shape the future of this ecosystem. And we needed that to have its course in order for AR to build on top of those learnings. And hopefully as we subsequently start to build on those as well, we don't view this as failures necessarily, but as necessary advancements in order to get to the ultimate goal of integrating more technology into our lives to make it a better life. And the relationship between the hardware platforms, whether it's console, PC, handset or headset, and software is interesting. And I want to talk about that with you, but first I want to tell your story. Tell about your entrepreneur story. You are at UC Berkeley, Cal, here in the University of California, Berkeley. My daughter's junior there, but great school, doing a lot of cutting-edge stuff there at Berkeley, and certainly not lack of protest either these days, but tell us the story. You dropped out and started a company. Tell us the story. So I was attending Berkeley and I'm very grateful that I was able to go to Cal, particularly because I grew up in Southern California, where around the time that I grew up, there really wasn't a lot of startups or entrepreneurial minded people. And I came up here and became really immersed in tech and that was my first foray into it. And during college, I was working at a gaming company to help support myself through school and just really fell in love with it and decided that was truly what I wanted to do. My parents supported my decision and so with their help and approval, I started building games and I've been building games since, again, the mid to late 90s until now. Ran a couple of companies, founded a few of them, and the latest one that I founded was a few years ago called Second Wave Games. We had sold it to a larger company called World Golf Tour. And here I am now building tools for game developers, actually. And what an evolution.  So everything in between has been a balance of being creative with software and art, if you will, gaming is art. What has changed? I mean, honestly, things fail because it's a content business, content is games. So there's always that symbionic relationship between hardware and software. Who pushes who? Is it the yin and the yang or is it the good and the bad? What's going on between the relationship these days because we certainly see it on the enterprise side. Software at the edge is driving infrastructure. What's the relationship from the content, from the artistry standpoint and the handset? No, from our point, content makers are not very interested in any platform or hardware that doesn't have the distribution. But the hardware manufacturers need the content in order to push the distribution of hardware. So it becomes a chicken and the egg problem. And it really depends on the approach that people will take. The content distributors do not own the platform, they don't own the distribution of the actual devices that will run things. So it really falls on the hardware manufacturers to decide what path they will go down. We will see more aggressive things like Microsoft when they first launched the Xbox, for example, they took a heavy loss on every unit that they sold, but they were focused primarily on distribution. And then they hit on this magic, very, very like a really, really runaway hit called Halo.  It's not available on the other consoles. And call a duty right after it. Call a duty right after it. The list is endless. And so that becomes a really excellent example of how content drives adaptation of hardware because if you are huge fans of this title, you have to go to this hardware and there's no other argument about it. It's interesting the evolution of the internet early adopters, you saw it's kind of like the adult industry, you know, who was in the leading indicator of kind of the trends in online advertising. That's a big joke in the industry. Now, you know, you're seeing the leading indicators in terms of cutting-edge pioneer blade trailers is gaming, virtual communities, virtual currencies. The gaming culture, you can almost use as a precursor to what you're seeing on the crypto side with blockchain. You can see on the augmented reality that's a gamification of life where now the content is the real world. So how are that? That's a super exciting for someone who's been in the gaming area and software developers got to be sitting there looking there, looking at their chops saying, hey, I want to get in on this. So, your thoughts? At my current company, SE Works, when we started developing our solution, we actually tested it first and foremost with gaming, with gaming apps above everything else. And people were a little puzzled thinking, why would you test gaming above finance or healthcare? And our answer is because gaming is the most complex thing anyone can possibly make. It contains pretty much every single piece of technology that you can ever know. There are communications layers. There have the most sophisticated graphics layers. They have intense AI layers. They have intense algorithms. Anything calculated. And it is in itself an inherit small economical ecosystem as well. So it is a very complex mini world that you're building inside of the constraints of one application, which then has to be very sophisticated in technology in order to run on our current set of hardware and devices. So it's the most challenging thing that we could build for and that's why we chose it. And I see the same thing happening. Gaming is life and life is games. Outside of solving your very basic human needs of shelter, food, and sleep, clothing, what's the immediate next thing that you want to do? People want to be entertained in some format or another and games are really just almost like a primal urge and an instant. Yeah, and you see in the intersection of e-commerce, entertainment, and web services or cloud, which you can bundle in IoT, all intersecting. And that's really what the real world is. I mean, analog digital coming together is the consumerization of physical and digital, which Samsung's putting out there. This is the perfect beginning wave coming. You agree? I think so. As I was sitting through the keynote today and I'm just reflecting on the future where I can watch TV and there's this beautiful scene of a local in Northern California, then I say, I want to go and I jump in my car and the destination is magically loaded on my GPS and my very smart car and it just takes me there and I don't have to think about it and on the way they've already made reservations. It seems like a very seamless integration of everything if it's ideally done. And part of me, I think the security paranoia in me is also a little afraid that too much information is going to be not necessarily a good thing in a lot of senses because what we see and what I've seen in almost 20 years of tech is every time we rush to new technology, new platforms, new distribution, methodologies, people rush in and make the same mistakes over and over again. So I am a little afraid that with this era it's going to be exactly the same where we see explosion of growth, we see explosion of content, people coming in with a gold rush and then a few years later when things are established we're going to start to see the security leaks, the data leaks, the breaches.  It's like data is the same thing, you don't know how much privacy you have given up. Well, I mean, look at the Equifax, it's going to be more of those.  That's big. It is in particular because your average consumer is not very privacy sensitive. If I want to use something, if asking me for permissions is just a hurdle, that if I'm motivated enough to actually use a service or use an app, I'm just going to keep brushing aside without really thinking about it. And alarmingly, you know, the number of apps that we look at, the number of permissions that they ask is kind of scary. Mary, great to have you on theCUBE. Great conversation, great thought leadership. I'll give you the final word. What are you guys doing at SE Works? What are you up to after the event? What are some of the things you're working on? Get the plug in for your company. Yes, so what SE Works does is we do tools for developers to help you alleviate your security needs when you're developing for mobile apps or for IoT or for connected anything, actually. If you're building on Android or iOS, we have a solution for you. We're essentially like your armory, so we outfit you with an incredible shield that protects your application when it ships to the public against hacking and reverting. Where security is a service. Just think of us as your on-call hackers. Great, your white hat shield for the apps for mobile. Mobile development's hot, obviously. New user experiences and expectations are here. There's a big wave coming in. We're seeing machine learning. You're seeing with AI and certainly augmented reality and virtual reality. All powered by unlimited compute in the cloud. Mary Min from SE Works. Secure more live coverage here in San Francisco after this short break. Thank you.


Tuesday maker day what is up a welcome back Do you like to do it building or make it? So do we we have a new video each week this week is test cut Tuesday But we're so far deep into test cut Tuesday that it's like custom sign test cut Tuesday Haven't even tested it out of cardboard or anything. It's just Winging it winging it so we had originally planned to do some more interchangeable accents for the planter that we did last Friday for the video we did last Friday, but we have a special order that has to go out tonight So I'm actually gonna paint it. It is the first time we've cut it. So it's still a test file It's just the we're gonna test it. Hopefully it works fine and we can send it on out Now what was the thumbnail? Did you have the thumbnail for the energy? Yeah, it was for the interchangeable accents So this looks like a very very easy file.  It's a lighthouse for tilt it a little, you know, hold it from the top Oh, this tilts it that way this way that way I'm hitting it from every angle And still no I can see it So if we get this done because it does seem really easy Maybe I can show you a little better. I don't know how well you guys can see that We can do one of the interchangeable. We can do that worth the time. I don't know no promises Kim No promises. We have a deadline. We have some place to be tonight. I have to be somewhere five most of you guys know I gotta be somewhere five So we got a bunch of people in here. Let me say hello. Let's say hello actually you do it I'll get started over here. No, I'll get started I'm all right, you don't want to read the comments. You're good at it. Am I good at it? You're like, I'm not good at it So I was gonna start this. Oh, that is scored. All right, cool. It came out, right came out, right? All right, we're good. All right.  All right, let me taper up You talk to the people's. All right. Let's see how let's say hello. Oh I swear to God, we need one of those Like looking glasses. Yeah, the mirror with no thing in it. Yeah, I don't know I never watched whatever you watched. I don't know your reference How many people? Wait, I thought it was like a national thing Womper room I mean, I recognize the name, but I don't think I've ever seen it. You never seen it. All right, Megan's here She's here early. Let's see backup Marge D is here. Sandra is here. Hi guys Tickle to can who are you? Come on Garrett tickle to can. What's her name? I Don't know everybody's trucker names. Come on. No, we got to start remembering these Tickle to can is Cheryl, right? Then Hickler who's clicker? Okay. That's Jerry, right? Jerry's up in Alaska. Yes, but her handle her trucker name is I think clicker ak Yes, hi from sunny, Alaska. I didn't even read it. Yes whoop whoop Minnesota makes all right. What's your name? I know we know that too. I do I'm gonna make a cheat sheet Yeah, make a cheat sheet Justin Faces is a lot easier than just reading there. Oh Megan says hi Hey, Megan Stephanie's here. It's 104 degrees in Dallas today. Whoo.  I agree. Okay, I Secretly had Tanner cut that for me and ran out cut me another layer of sand, which is the sand The sand is the sand is what I told him which sand I was like the sand on the left He goes top and bottom then it would be on the top so that the water is below it And then he goes the one with the peninsula and I was like, yes, the peninsula All right Denise says she remembers waiting to hear her name on romper room romper room. Yes, I also Was waiting to hear my never heard my name. I don't believe I ever heard my name Lemon squeezy crafts. Yes, we do live near Midlothian, Virginia. We live near Midlothian Our shop is here in Glen Allen So stop by Kat says hi Megan. I want a little deep on the pink No, seriously, you got a yeah, I'll do it here. I got you put here No, you know what? You know what put it a little on this on the sand so that the yellow is brighter. Yeah He is swimming in white. Oh It's appropriate Ah Tickle to can fold the torn ends of your tape under to stick it on the table. They won't stick to your fingers Thanks, I guess she saw me struggling with the tape. I did this way. I was like a fly stuck in the fly trap. I Would get one leg free Using a leg and get it stuck Chip build says 93 in Southern, California. Where are you in Southern, California? Garrett's place is Ohio. Do you know where mine is minus San Diego? That's where I should be That's where you should be. What am I doing here in Virginia? Why weren't you on the Oregon trail then? Maybe maybe some of my peeps didn't make it. Oh, I don't know then how did my lineage continue Maybe we missed the boat the train the wagon the wagons the wagon train You're stuck playing in the water Oh Megan I'll only catch these guys if I look at my phone.  Helen people who offer to help with painting and then use half the bottle never get invited back ever again. Oh Yes Don't I know it friggin paint right Helen, right? Oh You're gonna need to put that on tape. You're gonna need no no no no out of here.  You get out of here.  Uh-huh. Yep. All right guys I'll be back to comments. Go on now We have we have some drama over here. I got it all under control Stop walking It's literally arm you're gonna try to block me. I am gonna try and take over. Absolutely. I need it Go on now This goes in the name. Here's your whites. Thanks Yeah, you can hit that too because it's gonna be a sun This is gonna be gray and this is gonna paint black Everything's getting a base coat Even the black black's getting the base coat of white. That's it You have so much excessive paint. I Wouldn't say it's Patricia called us live. Hi Patricia. I was gonna get way over here. Yeah, you got to get down Maybe I can push you aside. Yeah, we tend to go this way. I don't know why Oh Same way pile We're good. I got you. See Here we go now. I'm a little closer By chance, did you know the LeBrie's from BMX racing? The LeBrie's not around here. He if they're from around here. He didn't he does go to the track sometimes But he's very quiet at the track Isn't uh, oh you can do you can do these little diamond. I mean triangles as well I'm not a racer He wants to be don't let him kid you Did a Like Street and Park BMX that's what I did. All right. It's a little jam Don't put too much paint on the first coat because you will still have to do a second coat And it may leave this orange peel look as Garrett has here You'll need to see it that in between coats. It's going good going good It's coming together Let's see. What else I'm missing. I'm missing. I'm missing it. Yeah, you do your job. Let me do mine. Oh the San Gabriel Valley Don't want to say the exact exact location But 25 minutes from LA two hours from San Diego. Yeah, that's okay What does it say right up at the top guard your privacy Justin guard your privacy? He's like this is where I live.  I could be your tour guide. Oh Yeah, well, that's on my things of things to do. I I just leaned in I need to get closer get close Don't be shy I'm gonna move you over. How about I just keep adjusting you this way. I was using arid extra dry You can't see this stuff over here, right? No, you can't and dentine I was also using some dentine and some arid extra dry I think those pieces don't need them on a seven sure. Do it's a boy Now they do get in the base coat Get in the base coat of weight Let's see Somewhere in here y'all make these look easy up and making your designs but need to get more efficient. Oh Yeah, it's all that efficiency Yeah, I think do it for a while. You'll you'll gain your own efficiencies for sure I'm not really good at painting.  Yeah, yeah slacker I think they're so Bakers Caroline says I used to live in Bakersfield, California. It stays in the hundreds for months I used to go to Barstow, California all the time All the time I used to go to Fort Irwin, California a lot I think I know where Bakersfield is they could drive through it Isn't that where the world's largest thermostat or a thermometer is I think it is it's like the gateway to hell I think that's what it's called Pretty sure. No Yeah Check me on that one like the it's right there the entrance of Death Valley. I think Joel says we have his wife interested in the DTF printer now if you don't mind me asking which one do you have? You just start unboxing the DTF printer today. Did I mention on the last five Joel? How do you know how do you know we're doing so we're about ready to do something with that Our first video is coming out this Friday It's a setup video Did I mention it here on our live or I know I talked about it with a patreon with the patrons? Are you a patron? Oh, yeah, we talked about it on the zoom call Lisa says she's having fun with our files on her new glow forage. Oh Sorry, I just posted a video on how to shrink them. So in case you just have a basic or plus and you want to Put the whole pile. Yeah. Yeah, he's going to get something else. This is something else.  Do you know the camera?  It's a beautiful sunny day Yeah, this is the little video we posted on how to shrink this little guy and It's a normal door around all we did was shrink it down to like desktop size and remove the ribbon slots All right, if one of you guys is calling me right now, I can't answer because I'm on the chat somebody's calling the business Um Yes, Cheryl. Yes. Yes, I will post the I smell children Deanna message me today on patreon and ask if I had posted that file and I told her I looked for it I thought we had but I didn't find it. So You got to go home tonight and do that, please Okay, it's on your asana board. We have asana Which is like a task management or project management tool agile scrum board It is an agile scrum board For any of my techies out there and so we manage our projects on there I put it on there and assigned it to you and when we don't use it Garrett uses asana and then when we use asana garret refuses to check asana I'll keep you on your toes for sure. What's happening? Oh Trinkles garden home life my very and we already answered your question Ask, uh, is it possible for me to shrink the files to put the designs on a 12 inch round?  Yeah, do it real quick Trinkles is Irene I'm gonna do it real quick. You know what?  We're no longer Kim and Garrett All right, Minnesota makes I need a new trucker name for us though. Minnesota makes who's that? Well, is it scary? Sounds familiar All right, show me pictures of them.  We know who that is. All right, Minnesota makes tell me who you are. I think I know who you are Uh, she says she's a techie. I use Jira Oh, yeah, I know Jira. I've used Jira in the previous life. We did. Yep. I was forgetting names of things today Yeah, I couldn't remember the messaging system that we used Yeah, I could what is the What is the microsoft messaging app called the business one? All I could remember was same time, but that's forever ago and I can't remember what it's called right now Oh chris. Minnesota makes us chris chris. Yes. Yes. I know you used to say that We're gonna make a big poster Hey, do you guys have stickers? Send us your logo sticker But write your name on it And then I'll know. Well, we could put a little we could put a little more we could put them somewhere We could see them. They'll be fun. Yeah Teams oh Megan says microsoft teams Yes, but what's the chat one called isn't it? Well, I mean people use teams now for chat Maybe exclusively now. Is it just been two years? They're just called messenger. I don't remember now. Yeah Have I been have I been going for two years now? Yeah, I'm fine. It's been two years. Yeah, Justin asked if it was teams as well That was pre teams. We also use slack. Yeah, we use slack Open source and wasn't allowed in my company Courtney uses Courtney his company works Use a slack at her day job And so we use slack with her a lot when she's not here Hey, what color is the sun? Is it going to be two tones teams teams teams teams Microsoft messenger was the old school one. Ah Yeah, it was just messenger. Oh, Skype used to be Skype and they phased it out. Yeah. Yeah, Skype. All right Thank you guys because we were struggling this morning. We were like and I was like, no, we're just gonna slack her We're not we're not messaging her. I wasn't too worried about it. I was like shucks He's darn. I forgot what those are called All right, I'm supposed to be Let me let me get back to what I was supposed to be doing And And then we use the what was the Microsoft agile platform I'm gonna go over here real quick. I'll be right back. Where are you going? You're going to say I'm just going right here Oh, you're signing into facebook Yeah, all I have to do is hit live. I just have to plug in my phone here I think I'm gonna do these the same color. Hey, what color is the sand? More color is the ocean What color is grass? What does a cow say? And you tell me what a piggy says No, we're not doing that. No. No, I feel like that was what was happening I was asking weird questions if you came in at a context You'd wonder what I was doing What color is the sand? What color is this? You gotta get out of the way. Yeah, get out of the way. All right, I think we're live. What color is the ocean? Are we going leisure blue we keeping it cool No, no, I think you should go dynamic blue dynamic. Yeah Been live on facebook I don't know. Can you guys hear me now? Can you hear me now? Good. I was kind of a beating. I'm embarrassed. She's not reading it. Yeah Why don't you tell me what happened? Okay, so when I went over to connect facebook I must have kicked. What did I kick or touch the microphone plug out like I mean, I don't I'm barefoot right now because where did my sandals go? I think oh, they're right here right out Like how would I didn't even notice? Hand language hear me, but I was still reading comments from way up above. I wasn't down there yet They didn't pay their mic bill Yeah, they did not pair. I'm like, well, that's a good one. Yes. Yay Oh good, I'm just making a mess of that heavenly den zen design says hello We'll close this now we can yes. I can hear it now. Okay So I don't know if the guys over on facebook can hear us But if you can't or if you if you can hear me then what I'm saying is go over to youtube for comments Because I can't read your comments on facebook And we can't hear you And well, I can't hear anyone That's you D says she was about to blame Garrett lol Wow D Coming at me Chip is back with I need to get you the 3d printer There are a lot of fun and it just seems like something he might enjoy Did you hear me? Were you able to hear me say about how he wanted one and couldn't find anything useful to make with a 3d printer? Was I out of sound then? I think so, right? I don't know. Were you back from from facebook? Yeah, you missed all of that. You kind of missed a lot of good jokes. Joel says it's so much better with sound Yeah, I missed some jokes. You missed some jokes a story Now scott wants to know when the crapshow file will be available um Jerry sent us an email of all those new files that we haven't put out on Patreon yet, so we'll make sure and you might as well just do them all tonight. Yeah, I'll do them all tonight All right. He'll put a dump out tonight. I didn't even know they're up in our lake I don't think so. You must have seen them from some of our farmers market Oh, yeah, no because it just became the farmers market file No, they saw him in our store because remember I had to put him in our point of sale app in order for us to Um Use the all right. Yeah, I'll get those. I'll get those up tonight Cheryl Cheryl says that uh facebook has sound Um, can you start over? Yes What is up welcome back? Do you like to do a little bit of make it sooty and we have a new video each week this week It's test cut tuesday, but we're going deep with a custom test cut You don't have to start that far back. We didn't have so much sound though Yeah, Micaela says no, we didn't hear that start all over I forgot what we were talking about after that There was something about BMX racing Pam says call the health department. No shoes. No sales. No service. I got them on Pam. I have my sandals on now No shoes, no sound, no service Oh my gosh, please tell me you guys can hear me still Can't hear you anymore. Also Can you still hear me? Let me know you can still hear me. There's a maze mess with you. No, not It's still plugged in here Oh, yeah Yeah, you can still hear me. Okay. You can still hear me. Okay. Okay Um Cara wants to know if we could do a course on how you got started It's my dream to leave my day job, but I'm having a hard time juggling full-time work and coming home Oh, yeah craft and do housework and stuff. Well, we did that for three years housework has to go We don't do any of that There's a don't do housework If you don't do housework, you got plenty of time for like other things I tell you I sometimes come into no I got it. It'll be good Um, I come into our bedroom and I'm like, oh my gosh, but we cleaned it up the other day. I had Here's my you know how we all have our thing that we got that did you guys see the video on The father's day gifts where I engrave the skateboards Did you see the video where all of my shoes were sitting on skateboards? So I had to take the skateboards out of the closet so we had something to engrave on just a few of them It's not like they were sitting on the skateboards. Anyway, that's my excuse for why my my closet was dirty They came off the skateboard. They never they've never been back on the skateboards. They're still at the bottom of this closet It didn't help keep them working. I was trying to I was trying to keep them rotated I was gonna rotate them Where was I going with that the father's day thing? Oh not clean in the house I thought yeah, I knew you were gonna say something about the closet. You must be gonna say something about the closet I don't know where I was going with it But anyway, we did have to I just had to take a moment.

She's always like you You with the cute shoes Ponder no more I tell them and it's just shades of brown That is our most popular seller and I I don't know why because the booth is full of every colorful sign We have and they just love that brown on brown because it has a stained backer and a light brown and a dark brown It's just so neutral. It's yeah, I guess because it's so neutral and it's a great all year round one Yeah, that little yes, it was yep. There it is. Good job. Thanks. Here you go.

I want the bottom part to be a bigger print if that makes sense. Yes I'm 100% know what you're talking about. Yes, but I think that's why it sells Yeah, he said because I have one that uh Has been requested a million times for a dog and a cat And it's that basically that same file with a dog and a cat sitting together A paw at the top and the bottom has now it has fish bones Um a dog bone and then paw prints, but I think he's made them a little bit bigger I did so that they cut a little fewer of them, which hopefully will cut faster Uh, Lee says he loves all the stuff we do He does wooden flags and carving freehand with a hand router. I want to make some of these Wow, that is a skill that is craftsmanship. That's why we say we are crafty But we are not arts artistic.

Yeah, um So London times have my little list over here. Hold on. Where are you Ashley? It it does it it depends it if you have So we have sun beating right down on the front of this building and it gets Crazy crazy hot in the afternoons The glue will make we'll loosen up with direct sunlight like that If it gets some sun like morning sun, it's okay And if it doesn't get direct sun all day long It's okay But if it gets that beating hot sun in the afternoon And it will loosen some of the pieces and you will have to re-glue them I don't know of another glue. I did some research on some other glues But they were very industrial And I just don't think it's the kind of glue you're going to want to use I had very strong odors Just wasn't the type of glue to use for a crafting project like this. So I tell folks it that the only thing that might happen to these things are wood They're going to last forever if the glue comes loose use a little super glue and put it back on That's what I tell people when they buy the signs if they ask Uh, because they will share Because they already know anybody that has Ries on their front door And like not inside of a screen door even sometimes.  And so I tell them this is fade resistant because we are using exterior paint And it has those fade resistant properties But they might have an issue with the glue and I tell them birds can't build nests as nests in there Yeah, it is the one thing that Garrett says during craft shows And birds can't build nests on them That's what's that on his Sometimes you'll point to me Give them a feel Uh, am I enjoying my Tuesday night meetings?

Prolonged rainfall brought on by Friday's tropical wave and an all-weekend upper-level trough resulted in minor surface water flooding and land slippage in various areas on island Sunday 1st November. According to St. Lucia Meteorological Services, the most precipitation occurred on Saturday, registering 40.3 mm at Uranora and 72.3 mm at George FL Charles airports. According to reports from the various District Disaster Committees to the National Emergency Management Organization, NEMO, there was flooding in the capital and parts of Labry, Viewfort, Denry, Grocele and Babano with the latter experiencing some infrastructural damage. Ascultation removal exercise was undertaken at the Mark Bridge on Sunday after some flooding in that area also. Landslides were reported in Louvette, Upper Olyon and the most significant, the Lac High Road in Denry, which was quickly cleared up by the authorities. Ministry of Infrastructure crew also cleared a fallen tree from the Millennium Highway on Sunday. Director of the National Emergency Management Organization, Doreen Gustav, commends the quick response of the Ministry of Infrastructure over the weekend. As soon as the report came in and we called the Ministry of Infrastructure, we would get a report that it was already cleared. So they were on the ball, you know, setting the areas and getting rid of any obstruction on the roads. And if there were any homes that were under threat, they were already there, you know, because I guess they too have their own methods. So I want to say that give them one fantastic job and during this heavy rains to ensure our prisons are safe and the place is possible as much as possible. Gustav attributes mitigation exercises at various locations island-wide to the reduced effects of this upper-level trough as compared to previous devastating weather systems. She did, however, indicate that some attention need to be given to Dennery South. The flooding in rich form, the perennial flooding in Dennery South, the village, is something that, you know, we really need to work on trying to do some mitigation measures. It happens every time there is heavy rain and I know the people in the village, they suffer quite a bit due to that, you know, continuous flooding in the area. Contending with the COVID-19 epidemic during the Atlantic hurricane season, Nemo remains conscious of the potential for a multi-hazard impact at this time. Gustav assures that procedures are in place with district disaster committees for this scenario. We have prepositioned supplies at the district level such as PPAs, cleaning supplies. These are placed out with the district disaster committees. We have also gotten a supply of mattresses from the U.S. Embassy, U.S. Southcombe.
