It is so It is so fitting that we have this program to honor his legacy at the library because he was an avid reader. He Valued not only books and reading. He valued libraries. He was a champion for the library services and construction act which helped many many libraries when that act was in place and I know because I I Directed several libraries and we were beneficiaries of that particular act. So I'm deeply grateful for for his championing champion in reading and and libraries Before we begin today's program.

Gonzalez and so my father was also Henry Gonzalez No relation But they lived on the same street at one time and so dad would often get Henry's mail and so they of course knew each other very well because they would go to each other's homes and exchange The mail because they would often get the wrong one And so while my father was not a heavily politically involved the one person who he always supported and when he ever talked about politics at All it was always about Henry B. Gonzalez and his commitment to the community and its residents and of course his leg legacy still lives with us today in his ability to always connect with his constituents and I know I often regret the fact that we have so much social media now and so many ways to interact with people texting That we don't have the one-on-one contact that we know that he did and he always He and his constituents always appreciated his efforts to get to know them on a one-on-one basis So on behalf of the city of San Antonio, I have a proclamation that I'll read now Whereas Henry B. Gonzalez born May 3rd 1916 was a former United States congressman Texas State Senator and San Antonio City Councilman Native San Antonio and much-loved and respected citizen of the Alamos City and Whereas congressman Henry Gonzalez Enjoyed a long and distinguished career in public service Served the 20th congressional district with dedication courage and tenacity and took stands on issues that impacted not only his constituents, but the nation as a whole and Whereas during his 37 years in the House of Representatives Congressman Gonzalez devoted his energy to protecting the interests of the people of San Antonio and Bear County and was involved in supporting a wide range of legislation such as urban development federal employees education civil rights and equal opportunity One of the most significant accomplishments was a series of public laws He authored making it possible for San Antonio to hold a world's fair Hemisphere 68 and whereas congressman Gonzalez strongly believed in our country's ideals of liberty freedom and equality their respect of the United States of America and its laws and his strong moral convictions continue to serve as outstanding examples of our generation and future generations to strive to emulate and Whereas over the next year commemorative events are scheduled that will pay tribute to the late congressman for the historical impact and legacy of service He leaves upon our city now therefore I IVR Taylor Mary mayor of the city of San Antonio and recognition thereof do hereby proclaim Mace 2016 through May 2017 to be the HBG 100-year centennial tribute year In in San Antonio, Texas in here in witness I have therefore and to set my hand cause to seal the city of San Antonio to be affixed to this third day of May Maybe mayor IVR Taylor Thank you Councilwoman Gonzalez So next on the program is the honorable Roland Gutierrez Texas House of Representative District 119 But before I invite him to the podium. I want to again acknowledge bringing the mission library to the mission community when State Representative Gutierrez was council member for district 3 he worked very hard to Transform that drive-in into what is now now is the home of the mission branch library will soon be the mission of a YMCA And an improved marquee and it's just a major destination for that community and it's Making a huge difference. So thank you and I wanted to thank you publicly for that role Appreciate that We had quite a fight there, but we got it done and it was The large part I want to thank the Gonzales family Charlie and all his siblings for letting us do this for you today My experience with your father was was was very very it was just a moment in time. It was I was a young political science major at UTSA and he was giving one of many speeches and What I remember just from my memory is just it was you know, it was it was a great speech And I thought man is a really nice guy except most people thought he was a really nice guy except for the guy at their labels But he deserved he deserved it But that's the kind of guy that interview inside as was for us He was a fighter and at that time we had in if you go back in the 70s We had the russ on either a party and they were fighting And here he was I was was on a different divergent track than the russ on either party not Not against one another just doing that same fight against the system one person within a group of people out here And both believing in the same thing Which is fighting for Latinos and Latino causes inequality and education and making sure that we had an opportunity, right? and so You know, I'm doing this for Trey today in large part But because he asked me to be here and do this resolution day But it really is something that we all have a great gratitude and a debt of thanks for Henry V. Gonzalez and his family Because as as Tracey during his last campaign we stand on the shoulders of Giants. I can't think of anybody more Giant than Henry V. Gonzalez. I Can't think of a person that fought for Latino causes more than this man and that fought for equality in our community My other experience with Henry V. Gonzalez is in my dear friend Tom Daniels and Tommy His parents his father God rest in peace John Daniels passed away last year have a beach house that Down in Port Aransas and every now and then I get invited to it it's full of all these beautiful pictures and I see pictures of John Daniels in the Oval Office with Lyndon Johnson and Henry V. Gonzalez and Bill Sinkin all in the Oval Office and And I'm thinking what are these people doing there? And it's not just one meeting because you see them in different suits So they were there again with the president president Johnson and they were fighting Not just for all the things that are important Latinos, but they were fighting for hemisphere and What hemisphere means today to us is him is so important Because it shaped our downtown community. It shaped the future of this city and it put us on a path To make us a truly remarkable unique independent city unlike many others in the United States And so that was the kind of fighter that he was And if you go back later in his career when he said we should impeach Ronald Reagan He's probably right, you know that guy lied to us And so I probably shouldn't be talking about those things But at the end of the day that was Henry V. Gonzalez. He was a fighter for all things, right? He was a fighter for all things jest. He was a fighter for Latinos He was a fighter for making sure that we had equality and education and so Anyway to me I want to thank him for giving us that opportunity and thank his family Because as I've talked to Charlie in the past and Henry Know that he wasn't around that much. He was always working, you know, like my dad He passed away last year He was just a guy that was always working because that was in their heart their work ethic and that's that was all our parents wasn't it and so To that Charlie, thank you very much And if you give me this opportunity to read this resolution for you, it's a little bit of history for you whereas May 3rd 2016 Marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Honorable Henry V. Gonzalez The first Hispanic US congressman from Texas and a towering figure in state and national politics and Whereas in Alamo City native mr. Gonzalez graduated from San Antonio College and st. Mary's University School of Law He served in military intelligence during World War two as a civilian cable and radio sensor after joining the Bear County juvenile court He affected reforms to the juvenile justice system and rose to become chief probation officer And whereas mr. Gonzalez won election of the San Antonio City Council in 53 and served as mayor pro tem for part of his first term He advocated successfully for the desegregation of public facilities and exercised careful fiscal management in order to fund key services and avert utility rate hikes in 1956 he became the first Mexican-American elected to the Texas Senate and He distinguishes himself as a champion for civil rights Teaming with Abram Cason on a 36-hour filibuster that killed eight bills fostering racial segregation And whereas in a 1961 special election the voters of the u.s. House district 20 chose mr. Insanus to represent them in Washington over the next 37 years He worked tirelessly on their behalf providing crucial support to the 1968 hemisphere and other projects that boosted economic development He benefited his fellow Americans in numerous leadership roles Including as chair of the banking committee and of influential subcommittees and he supported vital legislation related to such issues as fair housing Equal opportunity public libraries small business credit access and flood insurance and financial system reform in Recognition of his accomplishments. He received numerous high accolades among them the 1994 John F. Kennedy Library Foundation Profiling Courage Award and the benign birth national humanitarian award, but his constituents he was always simply known as their own Henry B. And whereas ill health force representative one Silas to retire in 1998 and he passed away in November of 2000 His enormous legacy has continued to resonate in the years since however In his example of integrity determination and unyielding devotion to public service remains a source of inspiration to all Therefore be it resolved that the 100th birthday of Henry B. One Silas be commemorated and that all Texans be encouraged to learn more about his Contributions to our state and to our nation Thank you representative Gutierrez next on the on the program is an individual that use his leadership role to Promote early literacy to promote reading first as state representative and now as congressman. He started a book drive with a goal of Gathering books to give books to those students and children that were in need So he's been a big champion for education for reading and for early literacy It's my pleasure to welcome to the podium the honorable Joaquin Castro house. How's the representative 20th congressional district of Texas Good morning, and I want to say first of all, thank you, Romito and everybody at the city of San Antonio and the San Antonio Public Library for Celebrating Henry B. Gonzalez's 100th anniversary and most especially for honoring his legacy in San Antonio and in south Texas I said before I was elected to this office and many times since that there is no more prestigious name in South Texas politics and more honored name than the Gonzalez name and I believe that It was true then and it's true now You know I have the honor of representing the 20th congressional district and I always say that it is the main San Antonio district Even though as Roland knows a few years ago Downtown was stripped out of it the Henry B. Gonzalez convention center was taken out of the district And so now it's a big chunk of the west side in the south side and almost all of Northwest Bear County But Henry B. Gonzalez's imprint on the neighborhoods of the district lives on You know since I got to Congress a few years ago Succeeding Charlie who was there for about 14 years. I Had I've had the opportunity to talk with many of the long-standing members of Congress People like John Dingell who was elected in the 1950s and John Conyers from who was like from Michigan Who was elected shortly after that Henry Waxman people that served with your dad for such a long time and Every time I mentioned his name it puts a smile on their face Because they remember what an incredible person he was and many times Nancy Pelosi Who was the first female speaker of the House of Representatives in American history and who is now the Democratic minority minority leader? Has said in mixed company and by mixed company I mean not just San Antonians but people from other parts of the nation that Henry B. Gonzalez was the person with the most integrity that she came across of the people that she served with in Congress when she started out as a freshman Congress member from San Francisco Henry was her chairman in the banking committee in the 1980s and When the House of Representatives was hit with the tough news about the scandal It was your dad who was the face of integrity who stood up for Congress at that time And so as we think back about his history You think about about the period in which he served and which he started his career in San Antonio and Those of you that are more senior to me people like dr. Lisondo and many others who are here you live this But I want to walk us down just a second what it was like for Henry and his contemporaries You're talking at that time about a city that was still racially and ethnically segregated He grew up in an era where there were still signs that read no dogs or Negroes or Mexicans allowed He ran for office at a time where there were no single-member districts There was no district five or district seven or district one It was a very it was a very anti-competitive system that was dominated by many folks on one side of town with powerful interests It was not a system that was apt to change just because you asked it to and That's why I think it required somebody whose personality was of a fighter Who could be thorny? Somebody who had a strong voice Who was part of a team but was also an independent and a maverick? somebody who inspired people that was Henry B. Gonzalez and so Last week I had a speech Put into the congressional record Charlie for you and your family, and I know that We've had a few proclamations, and I just want to read the first and last paragraph for you It says Mr.. Speaker I rise today to honor congressman Henry B. Gonzalez a treasured son of San Antonio and legendary Latino leader May 3rd of this year marks the 100th anniversary of congressman Gonzalez's birth a Milestone I look forward to separate celebrating with his family and the broader San Antonio community Henry begins all his legacy has been a guiding light throughout my career And it's an honor to serve in the seat he once filled as the current representative for Texas's 20th congressional district I offer my best wishes to his family and to the entire San Antonio community as we take time on this anniversary To celebrate his illustrious life Thank you. Thank you congressman Castro Our next speaker has carried on Henry B. Gonzalez's legacy and followed in his political footsteps The honorable Charles Gonzalez son of Henry B. Gonzalez Informer house of representative 20th congressional district of Texas took over for his father when he retired from Congress in 1998 It's my pleasure to invite him to the podium Ramiro first a sincere thanks from the entire family For what the San Antonio Public Library is is doing and has been doing I think when we first met I Explained dad's love love of reading and for books and for the students from the Henry B. Gonzalez elementary Thank you very much for being here He would have been so proud of you and what you're doing today But he'd be much well He'd be prouder if you went back and even read more than you do today and visit at libraries every week and to principle Mario golf. Thank you for your dedication as a principle. I know what you're doing at the school I know members of the family will be visiting you there later There's so many people that we would have to thank and of course everyone that has spoken in the proclamations Thank you for your public service Because believe me there are people in this audience and yours truly that understands the sacrifice Not that the public Is going to appreciate it as as much and the truth is if People are lined up to take your job.  So I caution you against any public remarks Members of the family that are here. I know that my nephew Henry the third is here my nieces Margot and Pilar here Margot's infant son Ridge is here and I thank Paul Huckabee who is married to Margot is also here. I don't know. There are other members of the family that are present and I Apologize if I missed them, but I actually believe that they may be at the San Fernando Cemetery Visiting dad's grave. I know that they had planned that earlier I look out and I see so many faces that made such a difference in dad's life And I know that he made a difference in your life. Dr. Lozondo Roy Barrera senior God bless you Gene Rodriguez whose master's a thesis at st. Mary's was all about dad covering dad's life up to about 1965 which would have to have been the most exciting years of his life And there are others and I apologize if I don't recognize everybody at this time But you know how much we appreciate what you did for dad and made his career possible Dad would have been the first one to tell you that there was no way he could have done any of what he accomplished alone It's just not done that way And I know that you know you heard Hillary Clinton once said it takes a village and She was exactly right and dad was trying to say that some time ago about the sense of community and what we need to be doing For one another I did not prepare any comments or remarks But I do want to also acknowledge Dean Shepherd and professor van Hoy who were here from st. Mary's University in the school of law that will have their own project that the dean will be talking about UTSA as Romero has already alluded to will be doing something tonight If dad was alive and he was still in Congress and I don't know Joaquin you may ask some people but most folks are actually gone that experienced those great parties so dad would have his birthday party, but it was also seen called the Mario Party and when they built the Rayburn building in around 64 65 or whatever it was the big courtyard That's where they would have the annual party and it was big and it was really special because dad would bring in all the Mariachis and he bring all the Mexican fruit and he'd have this great party and back then when we had breweries He also had Lone Star beer and pearl and everything else But the amazing thing was Everyone was invited. So when I got to Congress in 99 That was the thing that people would tell me and when I say people I'm talking about whether it was Maintenance or janitors or wait staff or cooks They were all invited to dad's party Along with the vice president members of Congress in the Senate and everybody would just be mingling at this Huge celebrate Cinco de Mayo birthday celebration That's what that made dad so special And I would have people stop me and they would and I'm not talking about fellow members of Congress But they would say your dad took such an interest in what was going on in my life My aunt needed help. He would help and dad would actually stop and inquire So how's your aunt doing or how's he going? You know, you're having difficulties with your job That was just his nature and I think that's what made him such a special public official That birthday party I didn't even try To do anything that was similar because it would have paled in comparison because it was of I would say It was legend at some point and you just leave legends alone Dad's public life and I went in it on two points is He really believed you to change lives One life at a time and that's why he had that personal interest, you know, I see you I hear And I see Ruben who worked for my dad I forget how many years together you guys have probably 60 That worked with dad and with me and they will tell you I don't know that what dad would have done with the electronic age Because he had to read and sign every letter that went out of the office So I don't know what he would have done with email I have no idea how he would have made it really personal Because he put ps's on everybody's letters and such but it was really important because that was a constituent someone that took The time to communicate and he felt he had to be just as personal in the response And it became impossible at some at some point in time, but he always always I mean, I could tell you stories that were hilarious I mean as kids he would come in late at night and there'd be boxes of letters and he'd be signing them So it's midnight and he would get us to take the mail to the main post office He's wanted to make sure that it was going to get delivered as soon as possible I mean we'd say dad you probably can take this at you know in the morning It's going to get there at the same time take it now and we'd go downtown and stuff those things in there But that's the kind of man that he was If we fast forward to today and I'll end it with this Dad could be stubborn And when he believed in something it was pretty much over there were two things he did not believe in it And that was one was that there was no such thing as separate but equal And not to exclude yourself Be proud about many things that make you an individual Do not exclude yourself from the great opportunities that this country presents Which leads me to my last point Dad did not unite people by making them angry Dad did not unite people by making them scared That's not the way he got elected He went out there and he pointed That was things that needed to be corrected to improve the lives of all individuals But not to give up hope and to continue to strive to achieve those things That's what united people It was hope and there was a plan to carry it all out And dad was a revolutionary don't get me wrong. He had that side of him But deep down I think he understood that lasting change was always evolutionary and took a little bit longer And that's why he believed in the state legislature and Joaquin why he believed in the legislative process And surely why he loved city council Because you got to have the policy but you got to make sure that the policy Actually accomplishes all the things that you guys are doing there day in and day out So again, I just want to say thanks to everyone that is making this day possible And the remembrance of dad, but I hope it's not just going to be a remembrance But that it will inspire people to follow in his footsteps And uh and be public officials and if you can't be a public official Just be a darn good citizen because it was always about caring about one another Thank you very much, Ramiro Thank you. Thank you charlie for sharing that special insight to your father's life As I mentioned earlier students from st. Mary's school of law are here filming today's program Henry b. Gonzalez graduated from st. Mary's university school of law in 1943 here to share More about this video project is steve shepherd dean of st. Mary's school of law Good morning. I was told I'd be following charlie and I'd try to get out of it But they said no no no really you're you're doing the work and you have to do it But it's tough following charlie gonzalez A personality that we know a man that we all I think appreciate for many many reasons But also a person who tells a story that tugs at you It's not the hollers at your brain Alone, but he also talks to the heart and so I'm going to try and do that very briefly First I want to thank the library I want to thank councilwoman. It is humbling for me But as the dean of the law school, I realize it's very appropriate That the dean of san antonio's law school should be here today honoring Henry b. Gonzalez and Asking for your help Don't worry mr. Brera. I'm not after making that type of help today But I am asking for special help that only many of you can give Especially for the people who are not contemporaries of congressman gonzalez and and and the people who knew him I want you to think for a moment about courage You've heard a lot about congressman. Henry gonzalez's leadership His integrity Sometimes these words are hard to know when you're young, but one you do know is courage The courage to stand up and do something when people are telling you no, that's not for you The courage To do what you know is right even though on the playground people are saying no no no you should do this instead You may have to get older in order to know what it means to say the president should be impeached But today you already know what it is to stand alone and say I want to do this and I know that it's right I should do it and too many people are telling you know Because the law school is very proud Of a very skinny young man with a lot of hair And I want you to think about what his life would have been like in 1940 in 1939 when as a young man In a very different world in san antonio A world that did not like today have so many leaders Who come from families of a mexican heritage in america To lead the congress to lead the city to lead the library which here is I think more important than any of those things A world in which if you weren't born of families from northern europe It was very rare for you to have opportunity This makes no sense, but that's how it was in 1939 and in 1940 when a young college graduate Said I want to go To law school And henry b. Gonzales went to st. Mary's school of law Had said I would like to become a lawyer And I have to tell you in the 1940s. It was very rare for any law school Certainly not any owned by the state of texas To admit a person Who was called a mexican or from a mexican family?  Gonzales and when he graduated in 1943 He immediately went in to government service And as soon as the war was over he took his first legal job Here in san antonio in bayre county as a parole officer His first public job was serving individuals helping those in need helping those people who needed to help getting back on their feet The same endeavors he would carry through a life of international notoriety in service So it's only natural when I became dean and I realized that we have a centennial coming soon to the law school That we should begin telling our story, but our story isn't the story of a bunch of breaks It is the story of a bunch of books But not a bricks but more importantly it is the story of people and there are certain people Like our graduate henry b. Gonzales who have changed the world Sometimes they've done it in the newspapers and in legislation and sometimes they've done it because they stayed up late at night In order to save one person from losing a house Or to help one person to leave incarceration when it was their time and not to be kept late It was necessary for each and every one of these people to go through law school and enter into the practice of law And now we need to tell those stories better. And so st. Mary's is beginning a system of st. Mary's lost stories Individuals whose stories have been evocative of all of our lawyers All of our alumni in helping to change the lives of others for the better And the very first of these that we've been working on for the last year is the story of henry b. Gonzales Charlie has been very very helpful in helping us identify ways forward And what we've decided to do given that there are some nice programs already put together is to build A collection of oral histories that we'll videograph So that we'll be able to collect the stories of people now as they remember Their intersections their lives the contributions made in their world and the contributions made by them to henry b. Gonzales So I see mr. Barrera and others who i'm very very keen to tell a very Fulsome tale and we will archive all of these individual histories in the st. Mary's law library in our new archive We're working with the really well-known public historian on our history faculty professor tricev and hoy and after Public part of this ceremony is over if you would like to contribute If even as the councilwoman said at the very beginning councilwoman Gonzales. I'm sorry councilwoman If Gonzales says, uh, I have it exactly right Every one of us has a story about henry b. Gonzales We want to capture those stories We want to get them all in whole about you and about him And then we want to be able to assemble this great montage with some of the public record and tell that story anew So that all of us all of that village are a part of this tremendous achievement that is the legacy of henry b. Gonzales So you'll have many of you have received the save the date card We are going to spend this year collecting these stories and creating this grand episode and if you'll see professor van hoy afterward You'll not only get your save the date card But if you'd be willing to work with us any time over the next year so we could capture your story It would be an honor for st. Mary's to be able to house it Thank you all so very very much Thank you dean shepherd. We look forward to seeing the final project And uh, if the library can partner with you in any way, we have a large Um Footprint in the community. We have many branch libraries and perhaps some of the libraries can be a meeting place for for this interviews in oral histories Our last speaker on the program is the chair of the san antonio public library board of trustees paul stahl Who's a great supporter of our work of staff? And a great leader on the library board without his support. We couldn't offer the programs that we offer today And enlighten you with those programs paul Thank you. Romero I'm honored to be here today on behalf of the san antonio public library board of trustees It is clear that henry b has inspired many of us here in the room and many people throughout the san antonio community It's also clear from what we've heard today that the face of san antonio owes an immense gratitude To henry b I don't think any of us could imagine what san antonio would be like if it weren't for his leadership his tenacity Um, I mean all the qualities that made him great Shine through in what we now see as a fantastic blooming city. So As romero mentioned henry b believed in fairness and equality These beliefs are also the same as the core mission of the san antonio library to offer free and equal access to information for all citizens henry b Although I didn't know him. Um, I might add No offense, but in this sea of suits this morning. I said, you know, I'm gonna wear my wife Eta I know he loved them and so I'm kind of wearing that in his honor But he understood that The best foundation for a strong not just a community of san antonio, but a nation Is the elevation and liberation of the individual through literacy and education. I mean That ideal is what really he championed. I think it really at the core of so much of his endeavors So during the months of september and october the san antonio public library celebrates national hispanic heritage month This year in honor of this centennial celebration of henry b Gonzales We will be developing and hosting programs that shine a light on his life and legacy And the impact he made on the san antonio community and on politics and public policy We will also be dedicating our annual dia de los muertos altar to the late congressman I encourage everyone to keep an eye on our website My s a p l dot org for other details I'd also like to thank of course our speakers all those in the audience that came today for this special occasion I hope everyone has an opportunity to attend tonight's program at utsa or if you're not able to make it You can stream it live on nowcast s a dot com And we also hope you'll take a few moments to enjoy some refreshments And to view the wonderful display that are that are central library texas genealogy department and staff is put together so I mean, I think it's Really fitting and beautiful and I and I appreciate you giving us the honor to host this this morning event for Your your father To have this in the library A building that I know he loved And that he wanted to see as many of them around as possible Just thank you for allowing us to to participate in this honor for your father. Thank you everyone All right, that concludes the program I'd like to thank all of you one one more time for being here We have refreshments, so please stay and we have lots of folks with lots of stories of henry big one solace Thank you all for coming


And now Lagos State's governor, Babadjidis Zawulu, has signed the Lagos State Wealth Fund Bill and the Lagos State Civil Bill, which will be sent to the Lagos State House of Assembly to be passed into law. This is even as the state officially launched a 30-year development plan, which will be implemented between 2022 and 2052. Justin Akadoye tells us more in this business story. It is the closing ceremony of the ninth edition of the Lagos Economic Summit, tagged Agbetti 2022. The 30-year master plan articulates initiatives that will drive Lagos' ambition to become Africa's model mega-city. The day is also auspicious as the governor signs two important bills that enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos and in keeping with the state's mega-city plan. Mr. Governor, please, can we also have a formal picture taken with the Attorney General, the Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget? Governor Zawulu explains that the Lagos Wealth Fund Bill signals the commencement of the state's sub-suburban Greenbond that will create sustainable wealth for the government and residents. These will also prevent Lagos' revenue from external shock while making the state the Technology and Investment Hub. On the launch of the Lagos' 30-year development plan, the governor says government will continue to pursue policies that are inclusive and equitable to all over the period. In the last two days, what the summit has shown to us is the audacity, which was the words that all the youths that had a privilege to have led and moderated yesterday, what they all said about Lagos, their explanation and their expectations of Lagos. That indeed, Lagos is about the audacity of hope. It's about ensuring that each time you fall, you must get up again. There is a $70 trillion narrow requirements to deliver on the plan to make Lagos a trillion-dollar economy in 30 years. More than 70% of that is expected to come from all the sources than the government's pockets. Part of what we talked about were many low-hanging fruits, including establishing an international finance centre to help address some of these challenges of attracting investment. But the fact that Lagos considers these domestic investors extremely important. The funding for most of the things that are really important in Nigeria sometimes comes from the local financial sector. For example, the funding of the power sector and for us, the funding of our rail lines came from the local banks. For us, we're looking for investment, but we want investment not just from foreign investors but also from local investors. This discussion was really talking about that and getting ideas from different stakeholders. It was quite a gift to have this kind of panel. We had a panel that had economists and established economists that could bring a pragmatic but also academic perspective. You had financiers who can talk about what the private sector needs as well, whether that's from the infrastructure side or just general private sector role. You had the civil servants as well represented by the Special Advisor on SDG and investments, as well as Honourable Yeshao from the Legislature. So we also witnessed a sign-in of a memorandum of understanding between the state government and Deliok Group for Lagos Film City, as well as the MOU year between the state government and the Siemens Energy for Electronics Technician Trading.

The study evaluated the surface roughness of enamel after debonding with various types of burrs and found that all resin removal techniques significantly increased enamel surface roughness. The high-speed burr caused the maximum roughness values, while the stain buster burr caused the minimum roughness values in all parameters, rA, rZ and rQ.

The girls 15th region fast pitch softball tournament tomorrow at the Johnson Brothers Athletic Complex gets underway at 2 p.m. beginning with the 59th district champions, the Pikeville Panthers as they drew the Mcguffin County Hornets. Two of this year's tournament favorites. Obviously a tough draw Mcguffin County's got a very nice team. They hit the ball extremely well, got solid pitching so we'll have to play really well. We're excited about it. It's been a long time since we've won the regional tournament so our girls I think are excited and we're looking forward to the challenge. And when you get into regional and district tournaments, expectations will be high for all the teams that made it there and now everybody starts at zero on zero. You lose, you go home, there is no other game so yeah I think not only from Mcguffin County expectations are going to be high for all eight teams. Then in the second game of the afternoon at 4 o'clock Betsy Lane and Belfry take the field followed by defending 15th region champions the Johnson Central Lady Eagles and the Eastridge Warriors. You've got good teams in this region. Of course expectations are that we're going to win it again. We want to win it again. But Lawrence County and Mcguffin and Pike were all three very competitive very good teams that could beat us. Lawrence County did beat us this year. In the nightcap the 60th district champions the Lawrence County Bulldogs pair up with South Lloyd in the first round play of the region tournament. Game time for the softball tournament tomorrow starts at 2 p.m. and goes all the way until 8 p.m. at Shelby Valley High School. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Makayla Colley.


Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Megan Nollette. And I'm Bruce Gulland. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live.  A thin layer of snow covers the branches. And underneath, the hills are layered with mounds of snow and ice. It is hard to walk through, but the air is fresh and the cold makes you feel alive. It is one of the most beautiful winter days you could think of. But a day like this can also turn deadly. Freezing temperatures can cause serious injury and even death. The Lancet Planetary Health is a medical journal. In 2021, they published a study led by a team of researchers in Australia and China. The study found that almost half a million people die from extreme heat every year. But over four and a half million people die from extreme cold every year. More than half of the deaths from extreme cold were in eastern and southern Asia. Sub-Saharan Africa also had the highest cold-related death rate by population. People often do not recognize the changes in their bodies in cold weather or they may not know what to do to avoid the dangers of cold weather. Today's spotlight is on how to stay safe in cold weather. One of the biggest dangers of the cold is called hypothermia. A person gets hypothermia when their body temperature gets too low. The human body naturally regulates its own temperature. When it is too hot, we sweat. When it is too cold, our bodies try to make heat. When a person is in the cold, it is almost like they are exercising. Their body is working extra hard to keep the temperature at the right level. But sometimes the body cannot create heat fast enough or it has no more energy to use. When this happens, the body's temperature begins to drop. Soon after, the brain stops working correctly. This is one of the first signs of hypothermia. A person with hypothermia may have a difficult time remembering things. They may be confused, tired, or have a difficult time moving. This makes it even more difficult to get help. Hypothermia usually happens when a person is out in the cold for too long or they are not wearing enough clothing. Without proper clothing, the body will lose heat even more quickly. Strong wind can also lead to hypothermia. If it is very windy, the air will carry off heat from the body faster. This is why windy weather feels colder than it actually is. It causes us to lose more heat. When a person has hypothermia, it is important to help them as soon as possible. Here is how you can do that. Bring them inside, into a warm room. If they are awake, make them a warm drink. Try to warm the center of their body first. The chest, neck, head, and groin. Keep the person dry. If they have wet clothes, remove them. When a person is wet, their body will lose heat faster. Keep them wrapped in dry blankets. And most importantly, get them emergency help. Being in the extreme cold can also lead to frostbite. Frostbite is an injury where part of a person's body freezes. When this happens, the water in their body turns into ice crystals. These crystals damage the body parts. And they make it impossible for blood to flow. Frostbite usually affects the body's smaller parts like toes, fingers, cheeks, nose, and ears. A person who has frostbite will not be able to feel the affected area. The skin will get hard and change color. In extreme cases, frostbite can damage organs and skin. If you have never been in the cold, it can be difficult to understand the unique pain of frostbite. It is like being burned, but you are being burned by the cold. With very bad cases of frostbite, a person might not even feel it. Sir Ranolf Feins is a famous explorer who once had a bad case of frostbite. He was exploring in the Arctic when his supplies fell in the water. He had to reach in to pull them out. He told the magazine Esquire what happened next. The water was not all that cold. It was probably about 30 degrees Fahrenheit. But when I got my arm out of the water, it started getting cold very quickly. My fingers felt like dead wood. I could not bend them. Sir Feins had fourth degree frostbite in his fingers. There are four different types or degrees of frostbite. A person with a fourth degree frostbite may never feel the affected area again. The area may die. In the most extreme cases, it may even fall off. In Sir Feins case, he lost most of his fingers. He was very lucky to not lose his hand. If someone has frostbite, it is very important to get them to a warm place. Place the affected area in warm water. Keep the area protected. Do not touch the area with frostbite. Moving or rubbing the area can cause more damage. When the area has warmed again, give the person pain medication. When blood returns to a frostbitten area, it can be very painful. You should also get them emergency care. Doctors may be able to save an area from dying. Many people may not recognize symptoms of hypothermia or frostbite, but it is important to know how to prevent them. Here are some suggestions on how to stay safe in cold weather. Wear layers of clothing and cover all areas of skin. Wearing the proper clothing is very important in cold weather. It will keep the heat of your body close to your body. And clothing will protect you from the wind. It is very important to cover your nose, ears, fingers and toes. These areas keep the least heat. They are very vulnerable to frostbite. Keep yourself dry. If you are sweating in cold weather, you may be wearing too much. Take off a layer of clothing. You will still be protected, but you will not be wet. Avoid drinking alcohol when you are in the cold for a long time. Alcohol opens up a person's blood vessels. Blood will rush away from the important parts of a person's body. Blood carries heat, so a person will lose heat in the important areas of the body. Know your body. Some people may suffer more from the cold. These include older people and people with bad circulation. These people should avoid being out in the cold for too long. Finally, keep active. The body warms in the cold naturally. Staying active will help keep the body warm. Do you have experience with the cold? What tips or tricks do you have to stay warm? You can leave a comment on our website at www.spotlightenglish.com.

From the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, it's theCUBE. Covering Splunk.com 2016, brought to you by Splunk. Now here are your hosts, John Furrier and John Walls. And welcome back here on theCUBE, the flagship broadcast of SiliconANGLE TV where we extract the signal from the noise. We're live at COM 2016 here in Orlando, Florida on the show floor, a lot of activity, a lot of excitement, a lot of buzz and a really good segment coming up for you here. Along with John Furrier, I'm John Walls and we're joined by two gentlemen from the Herchivet Group. Robert Herchivet, good to see you, sir. Greetings, thank you for having us. Adif Gari, a senior VP at the Herchivet. Good to see you, sir. Yes. First off, Robert, congratulations. Newly married, your defense was down for a change and congratulations on it. Oh, thank you, it was wonderful. It was a great wedding, lots of fun, but, you know, casual and a lot of, just a big party. Yeah, it was. It looked like pictures were great. The pictures were great. People obviously know you from Shark Tank, but the Herchivet Group has been really laser focused on cybersecurity for more than a decade now. Tell us a little bit about, if you would, maybe just paint the broad picture of the group, your focus and why you've drilled down on cyber. Yeah, I've been in the security business for about 30 years. I actually helped to bring a product called Checkpoint to Canada, firewalls, URL filtering, that kind of stuff. And we started this company 12 years ago and our vision was to do managed services. That was our vision. No other customer's vision, but our vision. And we thought we'd do five million in sales in our first year and we did 400,000. The market just wasn't there, sim technology, log aggregation, isn't what it is today. I mean, I think at the time it was in vision. What was it called? Yeah, it was RSA vision. In vision, and then RSA bought them. That was really the first go-to-market sim. Then you had ArcSight and Q1. So our initial business became around log aggregation, security, writing parsers, and then over time it grew. It took us five years to get to six million in sales and we'll do about 170 million this year. We went from a Canadian company to really a global entity. We do a lot of business in the States, UK, Australia, everywhere. But you're certainly a celebrity.  But you're also an entrepreneur, right? And you know the business. You've been in software, you're in the tech business. So you're a tech athlete, as we say. This world's changing right now. And I'm striking you get a lot of pitches as entertainment meets business. But the fact that the entrepreneur activity, certainly in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley where I live and all around the world, is really active, whether you call it the programmer or culture, or just the fact that the cloud is allowing people to start companies. You're seeing a surge in entrepreneurship in the enterprise, which is like, was boring in the past, you know? You mentioned checkpoint, you're old days. But now it's surging. What are your thoughts on the entrepreneurial climate? I don't know if the enterprise entrepreneurship element is surging. By the way, I'm going to say intrapreneur, just the way I say it. Cuban always makes fun of me. We don't say it like that in America.  That's how you say it. I was like, I want to say it the way I want to say it. Well, internal entrepreneurs, right? Other, what do you mean by intrapreneurship? Well, no, I'm just, it's just the way I say it. It's a Canadian thing. Yeah. But business to business enterprise, we've always been in the enterprise business. So we're seeing a lot of growth in that area. A lot of VC money's going into that area because it's more, you know, you can measure that level of return and you can go and get those customers. But on our show, we're a bubble. We don't do a lot of tech deals like we're talking because it's boring TV. Tech people love tech. Consumers love the benefit of tech.  They just love their iPhone. And our show is really a consumer platform that is- It's on cable TV, so it's got a big audience. So you got to get the wide spot. Well, we're one of the highest rated shows in that we're television, eight years, three Emmys. You know, it's a big show now. And what we've all learned, because Mark Cuban and our tech guys, when we used to look for stuff we know, we don't invest the stuff we know anymore. We invest in slippers, ugly Christmas sweaters, food problem. Because if you can tap into that consumer base, you're good to go. So bottom line, has it been fun for you? I mean, the show has been great. It's been, obviously the awards are great. Has it been fun for you? What's it been like? What's the personal feeling on being on the Shark Tank?  And it's fun to be a celebrity at first.  You can just be on the cube. I get to be on the cube every day. You get to go everywhere. But after a while, it gets pretty dry. But it really helps our brand. We compete typically against IBM, Verizon, and you know, the CEO of IBM, you're not going to see them selling you security. Well, I know they're spending a lot of cash on Watson trying to get that to work, but that's a whole other story.  You're here because you're doing a talk. Give a quick take on what you're talking about. Why are you here at dot-com for Splunk? Yeah, we're doing a talk on data transformation. And you know, the world today is about data and the amount of data points and access points and the internet of things, it's just exponential growth. You know, the stat I always love, and it tips her at a thousand times, is there's roughly 3 billion people on the internet today and there's roughly 6 billion or 7 billion IP addresses. By 2020, according to the IPV committee, there'll be 5, 6 billion people connected and hundreds of trillions of IP addresses. And the IoT is going to add more surface area to security attacks. I mean, it used to be the old days. I mean, in Checkpoint, the moat, the firewall. Yeah, well, the idea of the perimeter is gone now. There is no such thing as a perimeter anymore because everything you can access. And so a lot of work in that area, and all of that comes to data and log aggregation. And what we've seen for years is that the SIM vendors wanted to provide more analytics. But if you really think about it, the ultimate analytics engine is Splunk. And Splunk now with their ESM module is moving more into the security world and really taking away market share. So we're very excited by, we have a great relationship with the Splunk guys. We see nothing about future. And you guys are using Splunk and working with it, with your customers? We do. We've been using Splunk for a while. We have a private cloud, tell us a little bit about it. Yeah, so yeah, we eat our own dog food. So not only do we sell Splunk, but we also use it in-house. We've been using it for over five years. It powers our analytics platform, which is a fancy way to say, reduces the noise from all the different clutter, from all the IOT, from all the different type of alerts that are coming in. Companies need a way to filter to all that noise. We use Splunk to solve that problem for us internally. And then of course we sell it and we manage it for global 2000 customers, Fortune 100 companies all over the world. Tell us about the role of data. Because data transformation has been a big buzz where it's a holistic message around businesses digitizing getting digital assets in front of their customers. We have a big research division that does all this stuff. But at the end of the day, the digitization of business means you're going to have to go digital all the way. And the role of data is not the old data warehousing days. You fence the way, pull it in. Now you need data moving around. You need organic sharing of data. Data is driving policies and new pattern recognition for security. How do you guys see that of on? How do you talk to your customers? Because in a way the old stuff can work if you use the data differently. You're seeing a pattern like, hey that's an algorithm I used 10 years ago. But now with new data, that might be workable. What are some of the things that you're seeing now that customers are doing that you talk to that are leveraging data like Splunk in a new way? Well that's really where Splunk has so much value because a friend of mine is the Dean of USC and he has a great saying. More data is not necessarily more information. And so the mistake that we see customers making a lot is they're collecting the data but they're not doing the right things with it. And that's really where Splunk and that level of granularity can add tremendous value. Not just from logging but from analytics and going upstream with it. Yeah and also to that point, it's just automation. There's too much data. Great point. And it's only going to get bigger, right?  Now we need some machine learning analytics to move it further. And you know all points aside, machine learning isn't where it needs to be right now. Today in the market it still has a long way to go. I would call it a work in progress. But however, it's the promise, right? Because there's too much data and to secure it, to automate behavior is really what- And it's as simple as sore. The innovation strategy is coming to take in and growing with mobility, growing the cloud, increasing the surface area, IOT. But the supervised areas of the enterprise were the doors, right? You know, locked the doors and the perimeter is now dead. So now you have an unsupervised environment in the enterprise at risk once the hackers get in. They're having their way. The internet is like a kindergarten playground where there are no rules and the teacher went home at lunch. You know, that is the internet. And high school. I think we have to go to high school. You can go to high school. And you have different age kids in there. It's chaos. Edmund. Very well said. The internet is chaos, but by nature that's what we want the internet to be. We don't want to control the chaos because we limit our ability to communicate and that's really the promise of the internet. It's not the responsibility of the internet to police itself. It's the responsibility of each enterprise. So what new things are happening? We're seeing successes. We're certainly, we're reporting on companies that are being successful. The ones that are doing the reverse of what was once done or said differently, new ways of doing things. Throwing out, kind of trying to do a hybrid legacy approach to security, seeing the new ways, new things, new better cat and mouse games, better honeypots, intelligent fabrics. What do you guys recommend to your customer and what do you see in your top? This digital transformation is definitely a real trend and security is the catastrophic time bomb that's ticking for all customers. So that's, it dwarfs compliance, risk management, current. Well, I don't know if that's necessarily true that it's a time bomb. You know, the number one driver for security still is compliance. We sell stuff, people don't really want to buy. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, gee, I want to go spend another $5 million in security. They do it, frankly, because they have to. If none of their competitors were spending money on security, I don't think most enterprises would.  When you do something because there's a compliance reason to do it or bad things happen to you, you're really going to do it. You don't think there's consumer pressure then to have to do this, otherwise it's amazing? Interesting stat, the Wall Street Journal did a study and asked 1,000 people on the street corner in New York if for a hamburger, they would give away their social insurance number, their home number, and their name. 72% of people gave out that information freely. That'd be a good hamburger. Back to your point though, I want to go. So I think consumers have an expectation of security and how they police that is they simply go to somebody else.  I'm going to go next door. But I think that the average consumer's expectation is security's your responsibility, not mine. So on the B2B side, I wanted to push you on something that I kind of disagree with. If compliance, I agree, compliance has been a big part of data governance and data management. PCI has been the biggest driver in security in the last five years. No doubt. However, companies are now sharing data more with other companies. Financial institutions are sharing core data with other financial institutions, which kind of teases out the trend of, I'll give you some of my data to get to fight the fraud detection market because it's a trillion dollar problem. So you start to see points of growth where, okay, you start to see people go outside their comfort zone on compliance to share data. So we're trying to rationalize that.  Do you see that as a trend? Or I mean, obviously locking down the data would be the deal with it. I think it's challenging. I mean, we were at the president's council on security last year at Stanford. And, you know, President Obama got up there and made us some passionate speech about sharing data, that for the goodness of all of us, we need to share more data and be more secure.  We're all going to work together. Right after him, Tim Cook got up there and said, I will never share my data with anybody in the government.  There's a tension there, right? This is a natural tension between government and enterprise. I think there's also a natural tension between enterprises. There's competitive issues, there's competitive pressures. Apple certainly is a great case. They are like, bored their data. Well, this is the dilemma, right? You want to have good policy, but innovation comes from experimentation, right? So like, it's a balancing act between, what do you kind of do? How do you balance it? Yeah, you know, it's a great time to be in our space. I mean, look at this floor. How many companies are here? Splunk is growing by 30%, the show itself. 30% per year. They're going to outgrow this venue next year, and they're going to have to go probably Vegas or somebody. I think that's exciting, but these are all point products. The fastest growing segment in the computer business is managed services, because the complexity in that world is overwhelming, and it's extremely fragmented. I was talking about your business right now. What are you guys currently selling? How many employees do you have? What's the revenues like? What's the product mix? Yeah, so we're a global company, so we have 10 offices worldwide, close to 300 employees. We're one of the fastest growing companies in North America. We sell, our focus is managed security services. We do consulting as well as, it's in a response remediation, but the day to day, we want your logs. We want to do monitoring. We want to help. So you guys come in and do deployments and integration, and then actually manage security for customers? We do the sexy of getting it in, and then we all do the unsexy of managing it. I do not think sexy. It's all sexy. That's why the kids are all sexy. It's a household name. We have celebrities coming on now. Soon we'll be on cable. That's right. This will be a primetime show. It's funny, I got approached by a network. I can't tell you who. Big network with a big producer to do a cybersecurity show. And so they approached me and said, oh, we think it's going to be so hot and such a topical thing. So they spent the day with me and our team to watch what we do. Pain drive. Pain drive. Pain drive. Pain drive. So you guys do anything besides sit on the computer? You have a meeting, you look at a monitor. It's not much of a show. Oh my God. It's not a big network TV yet. Someone has to die in the end. That's a big network TV. But I mean, there's a problem. There's 1.4 million cyber jobs open right now. And that's not even including any data science statistics. So we're reporting that. I'm sure it's the same thing in data science. It's the same problem. How do you take a high skill that there's not enough talent for, hopefully computer science, educational, that stuff happens, and automate it. So your point of automation. This is the number one problem. How do you guys advise clients?  You know, automation's tough. We just had this meeting before we got on here because in our mandate service, it's people driven. We want to automate it. But there's only a certain amount of automation you can do. You still need that human element. If you could automate, somebody could buy a product and they're secure. Machine learning isn't where it's supposed to be, right? Every vendor aside. Machine learning is not where it needs to be. But we're getting there. But having succinct automation helps solve the cybersecurity labor shortage problem because the skill level that you hire at can go lower. So you reduce the learning curve of who you need to hire. That's a great point. I think the unsupervised machine learning algorithms are going to become so much smarter with the Splunk data because that's a tough nut to crack because you need to have some sort of knowledge around how to make that algorithm work. The data coming in from Splunk is so awesome that that turns that into an asset. So this is a moving train, right? This is a big time. Okay, go step back first. I want to change gears, Robert. I want to get your thoughts because, you know, since you're here and you do a lot of picking the stocks, if you will, on Shark Tank, in the tech world, our boring tech world, that's we love, by the way, so. We love too. How do you, as someone who's got a lot of experience in the cycles of innovation, look at the changing digital transformation vendor landscape. Splunk. Somebody's like Oracle trying to transform. Dell bought EMC, IBM's pivoting. Amazon is booming. How do you look at the new digital enterprise? And how do you look at that from a, if you're a customer or an investor, where's the growth stocks? Where's the growth companies? What's the growth parameters? What's your thoughts? One of the reasons I love our industry, why I got into tech was I had no money. My dad worked in a factory. My mom was a receptionist. You know, in the old adages, to make money, you need money. To get ahead, it's not what you know, it's who you know. I didn't know anybody. And the value of tech is tech transforms every three years. We follow these cycles where we eat our own young and we throw away stuff that doesn't add value. Tech is the great equalizer, because if you don't add value, nobody cares. You're out. And you know, when I'm starting out as a guy with a small company, I love that. We're going to kick ass, we're going to add value. Now that we're a little bigger.  For sure. It gets harder as you get bigger, because now we're the big guys that somebody in their basement is trying to take out. But you know, we see tremendous innovation in security. If you look back three years, who are the leaders in the SIM space? ArcSight, Q1, Nitro to a lesser degree, and Envision. Envision, right? Right, I say. Today, does our say have a strategy around a SIM? They have Net Witness, you know, Security Analytics, which is kind of a SIM. Q1 is in the throws of the IBM machine somewhere in their gut, nobody knows. ArcSight, who buys ArcSight anymore? It's so complicated. Who's the leader? It's one. So back to the old classic team, obviously have good people on the management team. Product matters now in tech, doesn't it? Absolutely. More than ever. Obviously balance sheet. Okay, just get back to data transformation. So, you know, data is so critical now. And again, it's more from that data warehouse, which still is around, to real-time data, having value, moving it into different applications. Question is, how do you value data? I mean, you can't put it on the balance sheet. I mean, people value factories. I mean, GE said, you know, we have all this investment in machines and assets. They worry about someone getting their data and doing a Judo move on them. So data is truly an asset that's flying out of their network. How does companies value data? Can it ever be on the balance sheet? How do you look at that? I don't think data in and of itself has any value. It's the effect of the data that has the value. And it's a very singular. It's what somebody does to it. Whatever the data is worth to you from a business perspective, it's worth fundamentally more to an outside bad party. Because they can package that data and sell it to a competitor, a foreign government, all those kind of places. So it's the collection of raw data and applying it to something that has meaning to a third party. So it's like thermodynamics really, till it's in motion, it's really not worth anything. I mean, that's what you're saying. Data is data. Until it's put to work. I don't think you're ever going to see on the balance sheet as a hardcore value because it has to have a transformative value. You have to do something with it. It's the something.  I need more budget to expand our presence. And the guy says, sorry, I need to see some ROI on that data. Well, I just have a gut feeling that if we move the data around, it's going to be worth something. Oh, I passed. You can't justify the investment. So a lot of that coming over simplifying that, but that's kind of like a dialogue that we hear in customers. How do you get that? When I always tell CIOs and CISOs, it's challenging to get budget to do a good thing or the right thing. It's easier to get budget to do the necessary thing. And so necessary is defined by the nature of your business. So if you make widgets and you want to get more budget to protect the widgets, no one cares. No one's sitting around all on my widgets safe. They are to a certain degree and they'll have limited budget for that. But if you go to them and say, you know what, we have a risk that if somebody can attack our widgets, we're going to be down for three days. And being down for three days or three hours has a dollar cost of $5 million. I need an extra two and a half to protect that from happening. As a business guy and a CEO, I understand that. That's great advice. And that's the biggest challenge still with security people is we're technical people. We're not used to talking to business guys. It's like house insurance in a way, or insurance, right? You invest this to recover that. It's great analogy. I used to race cars and I had a life insurance premium for key man insurance. And my insurance agent comes along and says you should buy a bigger policy. I'm like, I don't need a bigger policy. So much money, we're okay.  But if you pay me another 10 grand a year in coverage, you're covered. Did I buy it? Absolutely. That's very necessary, great advice. Personal question for you. So if your dad said a factory, you mentioned that earlier. If you had a factory today in a modern era of IoT and you were going to give them the digital transformation consulting project, how would you advise them? Because a lot of people are taking their analog business and digitizing it. Some already have sensors in there. So you seem to manufacturing and certainly the industrial aspect of IoT has been a big deal. How would you advise your dad building a factory today? Yeah, so I think there's two aspects to it. One is just, you know, everything we've been talking about, data transformation, data analytics, making things better. None of those things are possible unless you're actually collecting the data. It's like customers come to us and say, you know what, we don't want you to just manage our logs and tell us what's going on. We want higher level value. And I'm like, no, I get that. But unless you're actually aggregating the logs, none of the upstream stuff matters. So the first thing is you have to collect the data. Whether that's sensors, old devices, mechanical devices and so on. The second part of it is the minute you open up your factory and open up the mechanical devices and attach them to a PC or anything that's network based, you're open for risk. And so we're seeing that now in utilities. We're seeing that with gas companies, oil companies. You know, up until a few years ago, you couldn't physically change the flow of a pipeline unless there was a physical connection, a mechanical on off. It was very binary. Today, all those systems are connected to the internet. And it saves companies a lot of money because they can test them and stuff. But they're also open to hackers. Gentlemen, we appreciate the time. And who says tech has got a little pizzazz? I mean, that's a lot of pizzazz. It's been great. You guys are exciting. We are. No. Using the stars, of course. Thank you very much. Well, thanks for being in the Cube Tech. We appreciate that.  Gentlemen, thank you very much. We're booked. Maybe we can get you on next time. Okay, we're out. .com, 2016. Cube coverage continues live from Orlando.


وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأولوا الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشدوا الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقولوا الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشدوا أن محمد العبده ورسوله صل الله عليه وعليه وعليه وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدينة ما بعد إنا شاء الله تعالى الله يستخد مثاله اللهIsn't Alone المتصدقين والمتصدقات والمتصدقين والمتصدقات والصائمين والصائمات والحافظين فروجهم والحافظات والذاكرين الله كثيرا والذاكرات يا عد الله لهم وفيرتهم واجرا نظيمة الله سبحانه وتعالى في هذا الآية يكتب في هذا الفرق سبحانه وتعالى يكتب في المنزل والمساعدة وذلك لأن هذا الآية يوجد سبب مزولة لذلك why it came down لذلك لأنه رائعه ومسلم ربي الله تعالى عنها she said قال قلت للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم she came to the prophet her husband نبي الله محمد she said ما لنا لا نذكروا في القرآن كما يذكروا الرجال why is it that we're not mentioning the Quran the way that the men are mentioning the Quran why are we not mentioning the Quran as much as the men are ومسلم ربي الله تعالى عنها she said a short period of time went by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم she had him one day calling the people on the pulpit and she mentions وانا أصرح شعري I was coming my head then she said as soon as I heard the prophet calling the people ثم خرجت I came out from my room and I went to hear what the prophet had to say عليه الصلاة والسلام and she heard the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and saying يا ايها الناس إن الله يقول or people الله is saying إن المسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات إلى آخر الآية هذه الحديثة اللي ما محمد نريد وانا طبراني ونريد ايضا سوري ابن جديل طبري also نريد ايضا جامع البيان ايضا تفسير القرآن ايضا ايضا ايضا ايضا ايضا من هذه المسلمين والله والعالم هو المسلم ومسلم المسلمين ومسلمين ايضا ايضا ايضا ايضا الله تبارك وتعالى to his to him they are the same they are his creation the men المسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات والقانتين والقانتات والصادقين والصادقات ها والصابرين والصابرات والخاشيعين والخاشيعات والمتصدقين والمتصدقات والصائمين والصائمات والحافظين فروجهم والحافظات والذاكين الله كثير والذاكرات أعد الله لهم all of those people. men are women. Allah has prepared for them not مغفرة and forgiveness وأجران عظيم and a great reward. What we learn here brothers and sisters is that the men and women can all gain that title. A man can be a Muslim so can be a woman. A woman can be a woman so can a man. A woman can be a qanat, a worshipper of Allah, a person who worships Allah. So can a man. A woman can be a sadaq truthful so can a man. A woman can be from the sabrin and the patient one so can a man. A woman can be from the خاشعين the ones who come with خشع so can a man. A woman can be from the متصدقين the one who gives for the sake of Allah so can a man. A woman can be from the صائمين of those who are fasting so can a man. A woman can be from those who protect her private parts and so can a man. A woman can be from those who remember زل الله تبارك وتلسوك ونمان. All of them Allah mentions that he prepared جنة for them سبحانه وتعالى. That Allah is going to forgive them and prepare a great جنة for them. We find out today we find today سبحان الله that if a man goes and he كمت زناء it's you know I fulfilled my desires and we might even praise him for it. We might even laugh about it but when the woman goes and she كمت زناء what do we do? We shame her only the woman but not the man. If you look at the آية Allah mentioned the men protecting their private parts and the women the same he says والحافظين فروجهم والحافظات the men who protect their private parts and the women سبحانه وتعالى there's no difference.  If you look at the قرآن الهدف and you look at it there are virtues for the women uniquely yes there are things that women have men don't have virtues like for example the mother and the father are they the same with the شريعة no the mother is not just twice or even once she's three times given virtue over the father that's a virtue Allah has given سبحانه وتعالى to the women over the men we've been commanded in the quran that we should not wish for those virtues to take it from the people يعني to take it from the women and the men the women should not want to take it from the men. Allah says والله يتمنى وما فضل الله بي بعضكم على بعض للرجال نصيب من مكتسب ولنساء نصيب من مكتسبنا women have their portion of good and virtue that they are higher and better than men in and the men have their virtue and that which they are better than the women in also والله تبارك وتعالى he says للرجال نصيب من ما ترك الوالدان والأقربون الآية. والله تبارك وتعالى he says فاستجاب لهم ربهم أني لا وضيع عمل عاملي منكم مذكرين أو أنت any woman who does righteous action and any male man who does righteous actions الله will not forsake the action of any man or male or female doesn't سبحانه وتعالى so this shows us that they have come tough seal and tough deal in some aspects of men or women okay and they have come women over men that's how the Quran is الله تبارك وتعالى created us and he chose what is good for us سبحانه وتعالى our mother umu salamat الله سبحانه وتعالى sent this ayah in her request and what she said to show you that the women are a very important member of our society is they have highly needed the role that women play in society without the men cannot do it we can't live as men without women and women cannot live in this world without men we need one another brothers and sisters if Adam in jannah not the dunya but in jannah had a partner and needed how and how I needed Adam فما بالوكب الدنيا what do you think about the dunya الله created us to work together to support one another to encourage one another to motivate one another to benefit one another not to work against each other and head but one another and everybody wants to take from the other person and every time a sister talks about what is her rights the brother jumps straight to him and says he is a feminist والله here she is a feminist she is not a feminist she is asking for her rights and the haq that Allah gave her سبحانه وتعالى what do you mean she is a feminist and the sister anytime the brother mentions things from the religion that Allah has stated which is in the deen of Allah she jumps and says you are a misogynistic that's what you are you have hate of women in your heart وما إلا ذلك this will not work for us this is not what Islam is about men have some things women have some things we need one another no one is able to survive in this world without the other look at the need that we have for our mothers and the role that our mothers play والله our fathers can never take the role of our mother and our mother can't take the role of our fathers each one plays their role and each one is if they stick to their role the society will prosper if we compliment one another rather than work against one another and a lot of khair will come from it why are we in each other's necks this is not how Allah تعالى speaks about it this is not how the Quran pushes it brothers and sisters we are all on the same team we are on the team of what إن شاء الله تعالى the ones that Allah took about here إن المسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات والقانتين والقانتات والصادقين والصادقات والصابرين والصابرات والخاشعين والخاشعات والمتصدقين والمتصدقات والصائمين والصائمات والحافظين فروجهم والحافظات والذاكرين الله كثيرا والذاكرات والذاكرات يعد لهم مغفرة وأجرا ناظيمة I don't stop there إن شاء الله تعالى anything which I have said that was wrong incorrect is from me سبحانك اللهم وبحمده أشهد بله إله إله إلا الله استغفروا قواته وإليه السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how can you do a two second action right now that will give you a share of the reward of everything we're doing on this YouTube channel simple like this video and click subscribe why it will allow YouTube to recommend our videos to other users and imagine the huge amount of reward that could be waiting for you on the day of judgment if you did that with a sincere intention of spreading the Deen of Allah you'll be rewarded for every single person who benefits from one of our videos as a result of your like or subscribe that's an easy two second action that you definitely don't want to miss out on do it now click like and subscribe and don't forget to make that intention
