Historians have found that the origin of vaccines goes back to ancient Asia and Africa. Early versions of what are now called vaccines are believed to have been discovered in response to a deadly disease known as smallpox, which was widespread across many cultures and countries and affected rich and poor people equally. Fortunately, vaccine-like treatments were developed to protect people against this sickness. In Asia, a technique known as variolation was used, involving a person being purposefully infected with smallpox by placing pus from a smallpox sore under their skin. This caused a milder disease than a full smallpox infection and resulted in the person gaining lifelong immunity. While widely practiced in Asia and Africa, this was viewed with skepticism by European physicians, and smallpox killed approximately 400,000 Europeans a year in the 18th century. In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English doctor, demonstrated that cowpox virus treatment could also prevent smallpox disease. This works because the two viruses look very similar to the human immune system, though Jenner did not know that at the time. Jenner injected an 8-year-old boy with pus he had taken from a cowpox sore on the hand of a milkmaid. The little boy had a mild illness, not at all dangerous like smallpox, and he recovered quickly. When Jenner later deliberately exposed the boy to smallpox, he didn't get sick. His immune system was trained to fight off smallpox infection because of his prior exposure to cowpox. A fun fact, Jenner created the word vaccine from the Latin word vacca, which means cow, and vaccinia, which is Latin for cowpox. Although injecting someone with pus caused by cowpox might sound gross, Jenner's discovery ultimately led to the development of modern smallpox vaccines and wiped out smallpox, an amazing public health achievement. It was also the beginning of more vaccination discoveries and development. Vaccine research continued to boom throughout the mid-20th century. Scientists began growing viruses in laboratories leading to new discoveries. One huge triumph of the time was the creation of the polio vaccine. Polio is a deadly virus that infects the central nervous system and can cause paralysis. It went from being a very common dangerous disease to one that is very rare because of the polio vaccine. The development of vaccinations have allowed researchers to combat other common and sometimes deadly childhood diseases such as measles, mumps and rubella. In fact, very few people in our day and age have heard of some of these diseases since vaccines have dramatically reduced the number of cases of these and many other childhood diseases. So at the end of the day, we owe a big thank you to the individuals who were injected with pus by doctors in Asia and Dr. Jenner. You helped to solidify the idea of training the immune system for future protection. And for that, we thank you. Due to the development of vaccines, diseases such as polio, measles and chickenpox are now preventable and parents no longer have to wash their children's suffer from these once common illnesses.


International's network supports our school leaders in terms of how to implement model effectively through various ways. So some of the ways that we do that is by gathering all of our leaders together and really having a space for them to share some of the effective practices that have been working on and also thinking about how they could also learn from other leaders. Another aspect of the work could be this idea of us working directly with leaders but also as a way for them to problem solve with us. We support them with some of thinking about the kinds of leadership moves they perhaps could make in terms of how to better support the structures so that they could effectively influence the instruction that's happening in the classroom. I think in terms of powerful learning for school leaders one of the things that I've found a really effective across is the ways in which our leaders across the country gather together and really have some ideas about how they've been struggling and in many ways solving problems of practice that they've encountered. We know that schools often have their own context-based problems of practice but in in in these kinds of settings where we collect all of our leaders together they really have had a chance to find those commonalities, find those common problems of practice and discuss them in a way that feels very much authentic right in terms of how they respond to the situation but also how they think about bringing it back to their own context and applying it. And so bringing the principles along to not only these new tech network conferences and leadership summits but having them involved in the launching and the work alongside teachers really gave them an opportunity to get some understanding of what teachers were learning and what they would be practicing and one of the challenges that we face that alerted us to this need was principals didn't know how to observe what they were seeing in these project-based learning classrooms because they're very different than a traditional classroom. You might walk in and you might see students all over the place and have a hard time finding the teacher because she or she is really a God on the side and not your traditional sage on the stage doing all the talking. You're going to hear more of the students voices. You're going to see them working together sharing ideas making revisions and things of that sort. So bringing you know leaders on to understand what the work really looks like better their practice as well so they knew how to effectively evaluate and give feedback and support to teachers engaging in this type work. How does big picture support school leaders in creating deeper learning opportunities at their school? Well I guess I look at it from a lens of defining what deeper learning means to them on the ground from a local level. So one of the things that we stay true to is who we are as a design but we also know that the ideation or iteration of the BPL design looks very different depending on the local realities. So it's a real honest hard look and conversation with leaders around what's their reality you know because if they have a more traditional space to navigate they have to navigate around that and we recognize that and so we honor that but we also speak very true to what are your core values? What are those things that are non-negotiable for you as a leader? So when we go in we have a very sort of a visioning conversation and protocol processes that we go through to really understand the leader and their vision for the school but also to honor and name the realities that they face. With that being said we stay true and hard-fast to the core values and how do they stay true to their core values in that realities that they face. And then really we start articulating what their core values looks like in their school and what do they want it to look like. So when it comes to deeper learning and what does it mean to them to really have a clear picture of what that looks like and then really it's developing the framework and structures to see that come to fruition with their style.


So welcome to Totally Tooling Tips. This is an episode on DevTools where we're going to talk about our newer Progressive Web App tooling. Yeah. So the reason we have to do this is we recorded an entire video episode, and then everything changed. It's Tuesday, so DevTools has changed. Right, so the resources panel has now been replaced by the shiny new application panel. So I'm currently on Progressive Web App. This is smaller pictures. And some of the newer stuff that we let you preview include your web app manifest. Yeah, so basically, web app manifest is kind of, if you've ever built web apps, so you've had to do icons for different devices and browsers, and you had to put in lots of link tags. Manifest is a JSON file where you can put all of that stuff in one separate resource, and the browser will only go and grab it when it needs it. Yep, so we summarize everything from your name, your short name, through the different theme colors and background colors that you're using. We show you your orientation chosen in your manifest file, and then just preview all the different icon sizes you might have set up. So I've got all of them because I'm crazy. You are crazy. I'm crazy. It also lets you emulate as a home screen if you click on this little link here. That's just the experience where it'll show you OK. Well, what do you want to name this thing? So the reason this is important is because whenever you click on Add to Home Screen, what it will do is it will go through all of the criteria that Chrome looks for to basically decide whether it's going to show the user the banner or not. So it'll be things like, does the web app have a service worker? Does it have a short name? Does it have theme color? And if any of those criteria aren't met, it will print out an error to the console, just saying, yep, you need to have this. And because it's not there, I can't do Add to Home Screen. Cool. So the next thing we're going to take a look at is the service worker panel. So debugging service worker has been historically really, really painful. And I think DevTools has nicely evolved over time to make that experience a little bit sweeter. Yeah, this is definitely the best version of it. It's just really hard when you're starting out to understand what is going on when you're doing this stuff for the first time. But I think it's definitely the nicest version so far. Yeah, so we're going to quickly walk through all the options here. So the first one is an offline checkbox. And basically, if we go and we refresh, you'll see that the app is working offline. This just emulates offline in the same way that the network throttling dropdown will let you do. Nice. Fairly useful when you're testing offline support with service worker. The next option is Update on Reload, which forces your service worker script to update on refresh. So the reason this is super handy is before this existed, what you'd have to do is you'd make an edit to your service worker, you'd save it, you'd go back into your browser, you'd refresh. And once you've refreshed the page, it will still be using the old service worker, because your new service worker will be grabbed by the browser. It will go through an install step. And the new service worker can't take over the page until the old one's gone. So when you check Update on Reload, what it's doing is it will unregister the old service worker, register the new one. And once the new one's ready to go, it will refresh the page so that the page is using the new service worker. So it's one checkbox, so there's kind of a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. And it's super useful. Next up, we've got bypass for network, virtual bypass your service worker script, and load resources from the network. The reason this is handy is when you're not working on a service worker and you're working on other files, you don't want anything to be pulled from the cache. You just want to be using the files that you've just changed. Then we've got Show All. And Show All will basically show you every single service worker that's registered. Because we've got an increasing number of sites and apps using this, you might find this a little bit noisy. I'd just say you're very unlikely to ever want this until something like foreign service workers come in. We're just letting you know that it exists today, unless they change it tomorrow. But it's here today, at least. What else does this let you do? OK, so you can update your service worker. There's a push option as well. What does that do? Let's head over to your demo. I'm going to guess it's going to do something with push messages.  Right, so this is a push demo. Matt wrote a while back. We're going to go and we're going to enable push notifications. Your demo worked this time. Yes. Right, so what we're going to do is, if we click Push, it's going to emulate a push event. And you'll see that we get a push notification. This is kind of interesting, because this is the first time I've actually seen or tested this myself in Canary. And they basically added a new feature where it's populating a little bit of data in there, which is kind of super interesting. Slightly weird with the fact that you can't determine what the data is, but it's awesome that it's there, because it does mean that if you wanted to check what data would look like when it comes in your service worker, it's now something's there. It's awesome. Sweet. What happens if we click Send to Push via XHR? Does anything happen? It should do. It should do. Did I actually? Oh, I didn't. There we go. I don't know you did a GCM. Just took a while to kick in. So there, because there's no data, it's just like a super generic aid. Thanks for sending this message. Sweet. You can also go and click on the little name. Oh, you've got a minified service worker. Yeah, man. What do you eat? OK, let's go to someone who hasn't done that. And if we click on Source, you can go and you can check out the source to your service worker. He just doesn't care about users' data. That's expensive. So the reason this is actually super cool is the fact that you can now add breakpoints to your service worker like you would any normal JavaScript file. So when that code gets executed in the service worker, it will actually stop the service worker from running and you can start debugging stuff like you normally would with DevTools, which is noise. Sweet. So you can see that we've got these activity indicators for the status. So green means that something is active and it's running. You can stop your service workers. We can go and do that. They'll say activate and stopped. You can focus your clients. So we're currently focused. You can also hit details and it'll show you in line any of the exceptions or error messages you've been getting. So the one thing that used to exist here that's been removed is you should be able to have an inspect button that you would click and it would open up an entirely different DevTools just for service worker. I still kind of like having the two DevTools, one for the page, one for service worker. But I think the DevTools team are trying to get everyone to work just out of the one DevTools and change different contexts. So in this case, all the service worker logs would show up in the one console and you select different frames within that. So it's kind of interesting. It's the only thing that I'm anxious about, I guess. But this is quite a nice way of at least servicing just the errors. Because I'm ADD, I'm just going to click clear and now all of our problems have gone. If only life was that simple. If only life was that simple. Clear storage is basically the best thing ever. If you're developing any non-trivial progressive web app and you're trying to support offline with service workers, you're maybe using storage mechanism like indexdb, your local storage or session storage, you've probably run into this situation where you need to manually go in and clear all of your different storage mechanisms out and then head to different panels to unregister service workers. It's this whole super tedious thing. Yeah, I've ended up writing helper scripts that I just drop into the console to delete everything. It's annoying when you get to that point. So in an effort to make Matt Gaunt's redundant, there's now a clear site. Well, that escalated quickly. There's now a clear site data button. I think the label for this might be changing. The button is still there. Basically what this does is it almost resets the world for you, which is kind of really nice. It does all the things it says above, like it will unregister your service workers and your storage and clear out your cache API storage. And yeah, this does seem like an obvious feature, but at the same time it hasn't existed for the longest time. And when you start working with service workers, you realize how quickly you just get into a mess and you just want to reset everything. And the old solution for that was to just develop an incognito windows. So this is super welcome. This is so nice. We were talking about cache storage because this is was resources panel. You can still go in and debug all of your different storage mechanisms that includes the cache API. So in the case of my app, I'm using SW pre-cache, so I have all these entries. For someone like Paul Luce's voice memos app, we go in here and you'll just see that there's an entry that's got all the different files listed that he's got cached in the cache API. I wonder why the response is empty. It's all perfect. It's all perfectly perfect. And you've also got other options in here like frames. Don't just say that like it is. No one knows what frames is. I don't know what this does anymore. It's basically a breakdown of different things from your own different assets that I did. Let's assume that it does that. Maybe this gives us something to do another episode on. Next week on Totally Tallin' Minitibs, what is frames under applications tab? All right, so I feel enlightened. That is the application tab. Is there anything we're forgetting? You've got device art on the screenshot that is also new. Device art. So Canary DevTools now lets you preview device art for a few different devices. We've got the Nexus 5x in there. I think the 6 might also have device art. It does not. It does in the very, very latest version, I think. So it's coming. I think it's coming. But basically device art is awesome. It just lets you see what it would maybe look like on an actual device. And it adds in the navigation bar at the top. You can go in here and get your little navigation bar in. I have asked for us to take the theme color into account. Oh, yeah. You could do that. Yeah, that'd be really nice. And then it'll, yeah. Assume that by the time you've seen this, maybe we've convinced them. And this is already out to date. And if not, raise issues. Raise issues. Maybe we can get it. All right, so that is the application tab. Hopefully you'll find that a lot of this stuff makes it a lot easier to develop and debug your progressive web apps. That's it from us. Thanks for listening. Bye.


Lifton Tea and Lifton Soup present Inner Sanctum Mystery. Good evening, friends of the Inner Sanctum. This is your host to welcome you in through the squeaking door to another half hour of horror. Come in, won't you? Sit down. I hope you'll forgive me if I don't get up, but I'm terribly tired. I spent last night with a friend who's a book collector, specialisers and best sellers. He certainly showed me some interesting ones. In fact, he tried to bury me in one. Because all the very best sellers have corpses in them. Why, that's downright silly. Most sellers do not have bodies in them. What do corpses have, Mary? You know the old saying, even the walls have ears. You certainly don't make a house sound homey at all. Why don't you talk about the kitchen with its good warm smells of homemade food? Yes, and while you're at it, you should mention Lipton Tea because Lipton's makes good food taste better. You see, folks, Lipton's has a brisk flavor. And brisk means that Lipton Tea always tastes fresh and full-bodied, tangy and spirited, never flatter, wishy-washy. That's why Lipton's is such a grand drink at mealtimes and why it's the perfect beverage to serve when you're entertaining. That's right. That brisk flavor makes all the difference in the world. So folks, try Lipton's, won't you? And now, friends, if you're willing to gamble with your peace of mind, put out the lights and listen to Death by Scripture. It's an original radio play by that old grave digger, Robert Newman. Yes, and our star tonight is Stefan Schnabel, who plays the role of Stefan. The place is China, somewhere near the outskirts of Shanghai, a man-made wasteland ravaged and devastated by war, driving through an abandoned village on his way to a camp for displaced persons, is Major Roger Mason. Suddenly, the glare of his headlights picks out a strange, wild-eyed figure who stares and scuttles into the shelter of an alley. Mason hesitates for only a moment, then stops his Jeep. Hello there! Come back here for a minute, will you? Hello! Okay, if you want to make a game out of it. There's an alley somewhere. Please, please, Master, please. I mean no harm. Easy, easy. I'll always go to hurt you, certainly not me. I'm an American on my way to camp 14. Camp 14? The camp of refugees, displaced persons. I know I was there. I thought so.  They did not let me. I ran away. Oh? Why? Because to stay would have meant death. It seems to me it would be a lot more dangerous to go wandering around here. Suppose I take you back there with me? No. No, no, please. I tell you, there's nothing to be afraid of. You think not? Very well. What can men do against fate? I tried.  But I warn you, if I go back, it will mean death. Not just for me, but for others, many others. I'm Major Mason. Major Mason, I'm very happy to meet you. Welcome to camp 14. I'm very glad to meet you too. I've had a great deal about you. The job you've been doing here. Oh, Dad, there was not much I could do when we were all prisoners. But now that we have been freed and are beginning to get food and medical supplies, it is almost like a holiday. May I present Miss Mia Singh, who has been assisting me? Major Mason? I brought someone here with me, someone I picked up on the road. Stefan. I did not want to come back. He made me. Well, then it does come from the camp here? Yes, of course. A curious case. We have never been able to discover his last name or even his nationality. We have many kinds here, you know. White Russians, Korean, Siamese, Burmese. Stefan, why did you do it? Why did you run away? Sir, I was afraid because of this. Another one. That same paper. What is it? We found about a dozen of them scattered around the camp this afternoon. But read it. You have not escaped. There is no escape. Do you recognize this symbol here? Japanese Black Pregnant Society. It says there is no escape. And it's true. I tried to escape, and what happened? He brought me back. Our benefactor, our savior. I told you there was nothing to be afraid of, Stefan. Afraid? Is death something to be feared? It is the one escape they cannot take from us. Death to sleep, to rest, to rest. It's really in a pretty bad state. Couldn't you put them up in the administration building? That might be exactly what they want. What do you mean? It is not like the Black Dragon Society to want someone they mean to kill. But suppose they don't know exactly who they do want. Wouldn't they do what they seem to have done, make a general threat, and see who should feel who did run away? The war is over, Kornow. The major is right, doctor. Are we still living in the past? And we do have a room here where we can put Stefan. They went down the hall. Very well. But remember, I warned you. I too think it will mean death. Stefan. Stefan. The door is not locked, major. Come in. I didn't know whether I'd be disturbing you, whether you were asleep. I never sleep. Never. You're feeling better, though, aren't you? Safer? It is at least quiet. A man can think. I was lying here trying to remember. Trying to remember what? If I knew I would know everything. But I don't know. There is much that I can remember, such as what, Stefan? The first one. The greatest one. Many lifetimes ago. The garden with a wall around it. The torchlight bright on their breastplates and helmets. And his face. Then the hill. The place of scowls. The earth shaking. Stop it, Stefan. Never did you're talking about it. Horrible, yes. But true. Those I can remember. I can't ever forget. But what I can't remember is now. Who I am. What I must do. And why. It will be horrible, too. As bad as the others.  You've got to rest. You've got to stop thinking.  I'll help you to sleep. Then when you're strong again, we'll take you away from here. Sleep. I told you I do not sleep. I cannot sleep. No, we'll see about that. I'll be back in a few minutes. Sleep. He does not believe that it is not for me. Not even the final one. Which is dreamless. What's that? What's at the door? This door. But who, who is that? Down at the end of the hall, Steffen's room. Come on, quick. Major Mason. This way, down here. It sounded like shots as he... Unless he's not flesh and blood. The smoke's right over the heart. Must have been fired right from the door there. Good lord. What is it? This pulse, still there. Where's your searcher? He's right next to the office. What, there is of it. Help me carry him in there. We'll operate immediately. You don't have another one, mate. How's this pulse? Weak. But steady. No, the swab. That's it. No, I don't dare probe. Possips. He... He's almost in the vena cava. No worse than the others. Possible? No one will believe it. But he's still alive. The last one. He does prove through. He even holds out for a couple of hours. I believe anything. How is he, Mia? I don't believe it either. But he's better. His pulse is still strong and there are no signs of shock. I'll stay with him for a while.  No, I... I'm all right. I'd like to stay until we are sure that... Nature, look. He's coming too. No. Don't make me come back. Don't make me do it again. Hello, Stefan. How are you feeling? Oh, yes. The American. Why are you looking at me like that? Because you have no right to be alive now. And you wouldn't be. If it were not for him. I never had any right to be alive. But I am.  I told you I wouldn't. I couldn't. Until I do what I have to do. And what's that? It is coming to me slowly and beginning to remember. I do not see it all yet. But I know what it will mean. Vultures and blood. Coffins and death. We're starting to get somewhere. But I wish our friend with a bad memory would stop talking about what he has to do and do it. Here we are halfway through our story with only one shooting. And no corpses. Things don't pick up. I'm going to get in there myself and show them how to... ...pour gold. My goodness, aren't you ever satisfied? I've had the creeps ever since this story started. I just refuse to think about what's going to happen next. Well, as the doctor said, as he sewed himself up. Suit yourself. What an awful pun. Brrr. Why, Mary, did you say brrrrisk? I did not say brisk. And I'll thank you not to make fun of that word. Because it's a mighty important word in the language of tea experts. Yes, brisk. B-R-I-S-K is the word they use to describe the flavor of Lipton tea. Because Lipton's always tastes fresh and tangy. Never flatter and sip it. That's why it's the largest selling brand of tea in the whole world. Well, folks, you just don't know how good tea can be... ...till you know how good Lipton's is. Oh, don't say that, Mary. Not till you've tried some of my special brew. Tea and tea. Terror and nightmare and troubles. It is the next evening, about ten o'clock at night. The dust laden winds still wails around the lonely camp. And the refugees from many nations sit huddled in their rooms. Stefan, his face, gaunt and drawn, is sitting propped up in bed... ...in the administration building. Are sure you feel well enough to talk, Stefan? There is pain, but that does not matter. What is it you wish to know, Major? You were shot, Stefan. You know that. Did you see who it was that shot you? Yes, I saw. But that is not important. It does not matter. What do you mean, it does not matter? Just that, Doctor. You see, much has come back to me. Not who I am, but what I must do. And I know now that I have nothing more to fear... ...that I was shot by mistake. Mistake? What the Doctor said last night about the Black Dragon Society... ...was quite true. There are two men here in the camp... ...for whom the Japanese have been searching for years. Men who have been leading the resistance movement... ...in their own countries.  Do you know who they are? Yes. Do not mention their names. Do not even think of them. You know who they are. Don't you, Mia? One of them is your own father. Ram Singh. And the other is Pao Tung. Is that true? Yes. It is true. And I think we ought to go see them at once. Make provisions to get them away from here. That, then, is the situation, gentlemen. And I should like to have you escorted to Shanghai... ...as soon as possible. You are very kind, Major. We felt that our best protection, Lee, and anonymity... ...we may have been wrong. As for the danger, even though Japan has been beaten... ...not all the members of the Black Dragon... ...nor their agents have been rounded up... ...soon... Ram Singh, you always were too cautious. The Major is right. We should have declared ourselves... ...returned to our countries at once. I, for one, will be happy to do so now. Good. There are a few things in my room I would like to get first. It will not take but a moment. I will meet you back here. Fine. You still look worried, Father. Do I? Perhaps I am. After all these years waiting, working... ...suffering... ...to be so close to what I waited and worked for... But what is there to be afraid of? The Major has promised you protection? No, and I am profoundly grateful. But I keep wondering how Stefan knew. What was that? It was a compound. And it sounded like... Stay here, both of you. No, I am coming with you. Father, you stay here. Lock this door and do not let in anyone... ...unless you know who it is. Major Mason! Major Mason, where are you? Over here. The dust is so thick. Who's that? You heard it, too? Sounded as if it came from... There he is. Pardon? Yes. Dead, throat cut from ear to ear. No. No, he... He just left us. He was only gone a minute. That minute was all somebody needed. Dr. Kornover, I am seeing. Major Mason asked me to take you up to the... ...administration building. Just a second. Get... ...let's scream out in the compound. Was it...? Yes. Pautung. And... ...and was he...? Yes. Good. That is why the Major wanted me to come and get you. To put you somewhere where you would be safe. You are ready? Yes. For Pautung... ...to have lived through so much. We did for so long. Then... ...is it known who did it? No, not yet. But they are closing the gates. We heard it was. We'll find it difficult to get away. Will they? I wonder... ...in this dark... ...where the dust so thick you can hardly see. Besides, suppose it is not someone from outside. Suppose it is someone from the camp here. Someone who has been here... ...for a long time... Dr. Kunoff! Dr. Kunoff, where are you? Dr. Kunoff! Must have lost him as we came through the alley. With his wind. Dr. Kunoff! Is that you? Who is it? Answer me! Open the door for me, will you, Mayor? Of course, Major. Where are you going to put him? Here. Right here. In the office. You told the guards at the gate? No one will get out. But what are you doing up? You should not be out of bed. I... I heard something outside.  Which one is it? Our tomb. Dead? Yes. And the other? Your father, Mayor. Dr. Kunoff went to get him. He's bringing him here where he would be safe.  Father? Dr. Kunoff? Kunoff. Where is your father? Isn't he here? Oh, I know. You were going to... Didn't you go get him? Yes, yes, I did. We started across the compound together, but it was so dark. The dust was so thick. I lost him. I called to him, looked for him, and when there was no answer, I thought he had gone on ahead. Stay here all of you, I'll go. I'm sorry, Mayor. Why? Why are you looking at me that way? And what are you sorry about? I am sorry that we became separated, that I lost him. I am sorry that he's dead. Dead? How can you say that? Because he must be dead. Because it's part of the pattern, the cycle... That's enough, everyone. I will take you back inside.  Yes, yes, I'm sick.  Go back, though. Not yet. I must wait. I'm not sure for what, but... I know I must wait for something. Listen. Major Mason? You found him? Yes, yes, I found him. I told you. I knew he had to be dead. Yes, he had to be dead. I think I knew it, too. I knew it was hopeless from the very beginning. How? How did it happen? Strangled. My face. Dying out there in the darkness. Two of them killed within a few short minutes, and we still do not know who... Not completely true, Mia. You mean... you know? Your father and Pow Tong were around here for a long time. They died because Stefan revealed their identity. That means the murderer had to have access to that information. He had to know precisely where they were, and when they were going to be alone. And he had to be able to get at the medical supplies here. The medical supplies? Because Pow Tong's throat was cut with a scalpel. And your father was strangled with a cat-cut suture. And that means... Don't move, Conoff! I had you covered since I came in. Dr. Conoff? I do not believe it. Thank you, my dear. I am sure that there will be quite a few others who will feel that same way. Stefan, you saw who shot you. Who was it? He. Conoff. You do, eh, Stefan? Well, I... I believe there's something here. I'd like to show all of you. Something that... Make him look out! Quite fast enough, Conoff. At least you saved us the trouble of a trial. As for you, Stefan... Do not blame him, Major. It was not his fault. Not his fault? It was he who exposed your father in Paltone. I know. But I think I also know why he did it. You know? Then tell me in Heaven's name... Here. This should not come from me, but... Take it. Money? You are giving me money? Yes. Silver. The amount may not be exactly right, but now do you understand? Yes. Yes. Thank you. And bless you. I do understand everything. What I have done. And what I must do. What does he understand? Why did you give him that money? I was once someone else who betrayed a friend and was paid for it with silver. Thirty pieces to be exact. You mean... Yes. In the Bible. One Judas Iscariot. What? That's mad. Insane. Are you implying that he... that that's why he didn't die when he was shot? Did he see eternal immortal? I do not know. Perhaps he is not always the same. Perhaps in each crisis in every period of history there is always one who must play the role of the betrayer even against his will. But this much I do know that he is not immortal. Wait a minute. I just remembered the story of Judas in the Bible. Come on, quick. What's that? The money I gave him on the floor. And... yes. Matthew 27 as I recall. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed. And went... and hanged himself. Oh, that's the kind of character we like to have on this program. He was slow getting started, but he did deliver in the end. Two corpses, plus his own. A nice down-to-earth sort of chap who wound up high in the air with a rope around his neck. We'll have to see that he's back with us again next week. Rope and all. Use the rope? Of course we will. You know our motto, no noose is bad news. Well, that's not my motto, Mr. Host. Is that so, Mary? I don't give me any of your Lipton's. I certainly won't give you any of my Lipton's.  And by the way, folks, you'll find that it pays to ask for Lipton's in the larger, more economical-sized packages. That way, you not only save money, but you also make sure that you have a good supply on hand of that brisk-flavored Lipton's tea. And you know, Lipton's is always welcome. And now here's a word of advice, friend. If you should be invited to spend the weekend with a friend in a country, and he should wake you at midnight carrying a lantern and shovel, and invite you to go burying with him, make sure he doesn't mean burying with a you. And when I say you, I do mean you. Oh, by the way, this muscle-sinner sanctum mystery novel is The Whistling Leg by Roman McDougal. Yes, the next week's inner sanctum story directed by Hyman Brown and brought to you by Lipton's tea and Lipton's soup. Next week's story is about a honeymoon couple. There's a funny kind of characters to be on this program, eh? Is that what you were thinking? Well, this couple finds a corpse right in the middle of their bed. And they can't ask the corpse to leave, not to its face, anyway, because you see, it has no face. Now it's time to close the squeaking door, so good night. Pleasant dream. Folks, here's a modern food with an old-fashioned homemade flavor, Lipton's noodle soup. You see, Lipton takes no time to prepare, and yet it's blessed with a real fresh-cooked chickeny taste. And what's more, it's swimming with tender, golden-egged noodles. That's why Lipton's is such a grand food to give your child when he comes home from school for lunch. Yes, it's quick and it's appetizing. You'll find that children enjoy Lipton's just as much as grown-ups do, because it has the same good spices, the same rich old-fashioned flavor as the chicken soup you'd make right at home. So, friends, don't forget to serve Lipton's noodle soup. And don't forget to tune in next Tuesday night for another Inner Sanctum Mystery. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Hi everybody. My name is Jason Klein. I'm the director of P20 initiatives at Northern Illinois University and welcome back to another episode of Career Pathways Virtual Trailheads. We're excited to bring you this because while you can't be out job shadowing or doing your internships, we can continue to learn at home about what the world of work is like as we prepare for those next steps, which will be coming when we are out of this current situation that we're filming in. So today we're really excited while international work has been a big focus of many of our episodes so far. This is actually our first international call. It is still morning here in Illinois and it is this evening out in the United Kingdom in London. And so I'm going to let our next guest, Molly, introduce herself. So Molly, tell us about who you are and what you do. Yeah, definitely. Thanks for having me. So I am the VP of product at Liberus. We're based in London in the UK. We are a small business lending platform with operations in the UK, the US and in Europe. We provide funding to small businesses, anything from 1k to about 400k for them to use as working capital, business expansion or kind of anything they need, really. Awesome. So are you from London? Because if I'm going to be a judge here, you don't sound like you're from London. No, I don't sound British. No, so I'm American. I grew up in Chicago. And then I moved to California and lived in California for a while. So then California and then in Northern California before I ended up in London. Cool. Let's come back to that in just a minute then because that's really an interesting story and probably important for us to think about. We've seen we are likely to work with people from all over the world. We also may find ourselves working in lots of other places in the world. And so we want to explore that for our students today. But first, tell us about like what a typical day or a typical week when we're in the regular workplace, what that looks like for you and your role. Yeah, so I run the product management team at Liberus. And so what that means is we look after the products that we're offering to customers. And so our product is actually quite unique in that it's not a typical loan. It's actually a finance that's provided to the small business that they pay back through their card transactions. And so if you think of a coffee shop, every time you come into a coffee shop and you pay with a credit card, we can take a percentage of that revenue. And so it's proportionate to how the business is trading. So innovative product like that is kind of part of what we look after. But then I guess the other piece of it is the customer experience. And so we are what we call an alternative finance provider. We're not a bank. And what you get with that is a really nice like customer experience. And so we have an automated underwriting. We have a nice application. It takes five minutes and a customer can know whether they're approved or not, which in the sort of business finance world is quite quite a nice experience. And then the other part of it is the platform, which is everything that sits under the hood, which we are actually selling to partners, primarily payment processors, but really anybody who has small business customers. And so that's kind of the three different aspects of what we look after as a product team. In kind of day of the life, we have multiple cross functional teams, and each of them has a product manager. And so they're focused on solving very specific problems. And so my job is kind of lucky in that I have really good people working in my team and they kind of own their own area. So my role is all about sort of removing blockers, making sure everybody's aligned, making sure the kind of whole picture comes together and we're moving towards our vision as a business. So I spend a lot of time in meetings, working on kind of the structure, helping make sure that kind of everyone's talking to each other, we're kind of working on the right stuff. I also personally attend a lot of partner meetings to pitch or to help onboard them onto the platform, which is great because it keeps me close to users. And then I would say kind of pre-coronavirus, I also spent quite a lot of time interviewing because we're growing business and so we're kind of constantly looking for good talent. And so constantly kind of talking to potential candidates, doing interviews, and then even sort of talking to people within the business about how to raise our profile to acquire good talent. So let's go into that for a second because that would be an area of interest for students to think about when you're looking to hire new people. First of all, what kinds of jobs are you hiring for? And then second of all, what skills are most important that a new hire into your company would have? So my team, we have a product manager, so we have what we call product analysts, and then we also have design. So those are the three kind of roles within the team. And we're kind of hiring in all different shapes and sizes for all of those different roles. I think design is a little bit different because that's quite specialized. And so we look at UX designers, which is user experience and UI designers, which is the user interface. And we kind of look for full stack people who are stronger on one or the other. And then within product, product analysts tend to be quite analytical and comfortable sort of digging into data, digging into qualitative insight to really understand how our products are performing. And then product managers, I mean, I quite like the idea of starting out as a product analyst before moving into a product manager role. But the product manager is all about setting the vision and the direction for their product area and kind of getting the best out of the people around them. So depending on the seniority, a lot of times I'm looking for people who have experience influencing their product roadmaps at their business, whether that's in a product role or not. A lot of times people in sales roles, for example, as they're talking to customers are getting feedback and they're saying, well, why don't we change this about the product and same for customer support. So I think it kind of varies the specific experience that people have coming in. So I'm going to come back and ask you a follow up question. But first let's talk about your pathway to getting there. You said you're from Chicago, you've lived in California, you ended up for now at least in the United Kingdom. Talk about what kind of that pathway was, what kind of education did you need, what work experiences did you have, and how did those things lead to other experiences then moving from one to the next? Yeah, so I think I guess I believe pretty strongly that tech and working in tech should be accessible to everybody. And so personally when I'm hiring, I'm not looking for any one educational background or kind of experience. That's just a sort of personal thing. I know that's not true across the board. And so I can tell you about my experience, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that's the sort of the only path. So I studied math and economics in university. University is a kind of Britishism that I've picked up in London. People don't talk about college here because college actually means something else. Anyway, in college I studied math and economics and I kind of thought I wanted to go into academia actually at the time, which I decided was absolutely not for me. So when I graduated, I ended up in San Francisco and worked in a couple of different startups. And one of the businesses that I joined was just nine people when I joined. And so that was a really good exposure to me across sort of the entire company and all aspects of the business. And I could have a really big impact. And I just sort of took anything I could get my hands on. I grabbed and so I just said, you know, any opportunity that I saw, any responsibility that was sort of up for grabs. I took advantage of. And so I think that kind of attitude suited me really well. And I ended up kind of through my career in a kind of support and operations leadership roles, managing call centers and building out customer support teams. And the sort of sweet spot for me was the feedback loop between what the customers are saying, either on the phone or over email when they're calling support and they're saying, hey, this thing was broken. Or why isn't it doing what I want it to be doing and kind of feeding that into the product and engineering teams. And then also the sort of other direction of product and engineering building stuff and using the customer support team as sort of the almost QA in a way to understand stuff so they can support it. And so staying really close to obviously the customers, but then also the product. And so then I think kind of product management was a sort of obvious fit for me and it's something that I've always kind of done in one way or another throughout all of my roles. And then I have to say I kind of just ended up in London. I didn't. It wasn't something as planned. I never in any of my kind of previous career path expected that I would end up in London. My partner was transferred here and so I went back and forth from San Francisco to London for a bit and then decided to just move here. So about four and a half years ago, I moved to London and I love it. Awesome. Awesome. So first of all, I want to point something out to students watching this. So one of the things you've heard and we heard the joke from Molly about the British isms about referring to it as university and not the unit's just university or if you're in Australia it's just going to be. What's a good yeah it's just going to be uni. And so exactly. So with that said, but there's also a bunch of really important business terms that Molly's thrown out in this and and select QA QA is something we talk about in part of my job all the time. And there's other terms like that that have been mentioned and just kind of flow real freely and you might be thinking as you're watching this. Whoa, I don't even know what she's saying. Well, this is when you dive in and get these work based learning experiences all of a sudden that vocabulary is going to become very easy because you'll see it used. And that feedback loop is a really interesting concept from customers who call in their email or however they're connecting with support and say this thing doesn't work. And I have certainly been in in that loop where I've heard designers say no they're just doing it wrong and and so that's a really interesting situation that you've described that you enjoy being in the middle of that. Tell us more about kind of what that looks like and how you have helped people manage that because all of us have experienced whether it's an app, you know whether students have an app on their phone they're like. Why does this why is this like this or something they've tried to help a parent or another older relative maybe figure out how to do in a device or on a website. Tell us about your experience managing that feedback loop on such a large scale. Yeah, so I think I guess that when it comes down to it there's a lot of people making product decisions that are smart probably and have lots of experience but ultimately what actually makes good products is the users and so. 9 times out of 10 whatever we're going to build the first time is going to be wrong or it's certainly not going to be as good as it could be. And so the way software software development when done well. Works is through iterative design and so I feel very, very passionately about this and this is something that I've set up in in various roles in the past where you can look at what customers are telling you either with their words or with their behavior. We look a lot at data in terms of you know when you're using that app to bring that example. And you're swiping over here every single time instead of I don't know clicking some button that you're supposed to do so on Instagram you can double tap to like something or you can push on the actual heart right. And so Instagram's monitoring how many people are doing the double tap and how many people are actually pushing and they have a way that they kind of want you to interact with it. And so anyway so we kind of take all of these different data sources and figure out you know what's really the pain point what's going on here and then how do we want to solve that problem. But it's not. Okay we've solved that problem it's over now I mean this is kind of always iterative and always evolving and so then the next release comes out and we're going to watch how people are interacting with that and there's going to be some new stuff that we didn't think about. And so I tell my team all the time you know software is like it's a living breathing thing and it needs constant you know love and attention and it needs to be improved all the time otherwise you know it'll it'll get stale and die and it just won't serve its users anymore. Yeah, that's that's so true and even even just a refresh of the user interface can both on the one hand make it seem like oh this is awesome this is completely new. And on the other hand confused people and upset people because like now I don't know where something is that I've done and your Instagram example that is a great example on the likes because I know I do I hit the heart. And I know my child. She she double clicks on the image and and and doesn't even look at the image. So you know just quickly double clicking and she'll be very upset if she gets assigned to watch this for class. With that said, so that's really that's really fantastic. The move to living and working in another place if we can just touch on that because again, we have a lot of 16 year olds or 18 year olds who will watch this who also like you have no idea that they might live somewhere else. And 6, 8, 12, 15 years from now they might be living in a very different place. Talk to us about what that's been like a little bit personally, as well as what that's like work wise how is how does work look different in in another country a very similar country United States and United Kingdom have a lot in common culturally but If you can walk us through that to help people kind of open their minds that that'd be awesome. Yeah, so I think I was definitely surprised when I moved to to the UK just how different it was. And I think, you know, to your point, you know, we speak the same language, you know, it is, you know, lots of things are very similar and there's more that similar than different obviously. But I think I didn't really quite appreciate how different the sort of thinking and the ways of working are. And I guess I want to be careful not to stereotype because I don't think it's particularly helpful to kind of put you know British people in boxes and Americans in boxes. And my my experience kind of coming from from San Francisco is also going to be very different from another American working somewhere else. Absolutely. So, so I just wanted to caveat that. Absolutely. But but I guess I think that there were a couple of things that felt very uncomfortable to me when I first moved from from San Francisco to London and one was around the sort of the like kitchen chat where when you're going and you're having a cup of tea when of course it's tea always and it's I mean not so true people drink coffee here as well but a lot of people drink tea. And the sort of the expectation of the kind of small talk and like how deep into substance you get with the small talk was very very different from what I had experienced in San Francisco. And then I think there's also a lot of the British tend to be quite uncomfortable being very direct. And so they like to kind of say in a million ways besides the one direct way you know what's going on and you're kind of reading between the lines and that certainly was not my experience working in San Francisco. And I like to use kind of as few words as possible to say you know what what I you know to get my point across. And so I think those are probably like the two big ones. And it was definitely an adjustment period for me and you know I got I got some good feedback from colleagues early on that and you know they they didn't think I was you know friendly enough and that I was too direct and so I kind of you know what the right balance is. Now I think I'm probably so comfortable in it that I don't really know you know if I'm you know just just like these birds that I encounter when I first showed up and if an American would even recognize me as innocent American style anymore. Awesome. So I'm going to finish up with a couple last questions. First of all, and I think this is particularly interesting in light of the needs of small businesses today in the environment we're living in right now due to the coronavirus and it's certainly something that's getting a lot of high level communication in Illinois, because both the mayor of the city of Chicago and the governor of the state of Illinois are paying a lot of attention to it.  Yeah, so I mean I think we every day we're giving small business owners access to funds that they need. And the truth is that traditional lenders banks. They do serve small businesses but they serve a small minority of small businesses and so there are quite a lot of businesses in in the US and actually you know in the UK and in Europe kind of across across the planet that are just not able to access the capital that they need. There's a lot of sort of unsexy history around why banks are not able to lend to small business profitably. But they're not and so they've pulled out quite a bit from small business lending and that has meant that. New entrance fintechs and other startups and like my company have kind of come in to fill the gap and and that's been a really good thing for small businesses not to say that there aren't bad actors in the space who are taking advantage of the opportunity that is you know a thing that is happening. But I guess for me you know some of our small business customers are really just looking for a bridge to get through a hard time. Sometimes it's you know a second up in for their bakery or they're doing a renovation to expand their business. Sometimes they're doing a second or a third location that they're opening which is a kind of lifelong dream for them. And I guess I you know as I walk through my own neighborhood you know here here in London. You know small businesses and you know their activity makes me feel like I'm part of this community. And so I think you know keeping them alive and healthy is like just a really important thing for these local communities but then also for for the economy as well. Awesome. And then the last real question I'm going to ask you one special question at the very end but the last real question is any general words of advice for students today. I think my I guess what has worked well for me in my career even kind of while I was still in school I you know I had a job in a restaurant in high school and you know kind of worked throughout throughout my education. And I really believe there is something to learn and something to gain from every opportunity.  And that's a little bit condescending so I don't mean it like that but but I do think kind of looking back and I actually gained a lot of really valuable experience even just from you know working in a restaurant for three years in high school and I think that is true kind of throughout my career that whatever it is that's thrown at me a lot of times it's not what I signed up for and it's way worse and just like crumbier than I kind of anticipated. So I guess my kind of one piece of advice I had to pick one would be to try to find you know value in all of those opportunities. And even if you think you know man I hate my job or I'm not appreciated or you know people don't know what they're doing I mean all of these things have been true points in my career as well. There's still you know stuff to learn from that and there's still a way to kind of look inwards and you know figure out how you can be better within the environment. That is fantastic advice and I have also found that to be true from from my earliest jobs still to today so that's great advice. So last question. Have you have you picked a London football team that is your side. So I was petrified when I was first moving to London that I was going to have to all of a sudden have this interest in football soccer. And I don't care at all about it and I was thinking oh no I'm not going to have any friends this is going to be horrible but actually I've managed to survive four plus years in London I don't care about football and I'm still alive and it's worked for me. Well when you change your mind go spurs just remember that OK. When you change your I mean here I am sitting so far from that new stadium and you're right there you have an opportunity when the Premier League shows back up. So take advantage of it and go spurs OK. With that said so that's actually really important. You don't need to have a favorite football team though I will tell you as you travel around the world if you have one. Students who are watching this that will give you something to talk about and and argue about so but you don't need it and that's actually a really important take away from this. Molly thank you so much for taking time to work across time zones and and give us this time for students across Illinois and beyond we really really appreciate it. Yeah thanks for having me. For students and teachers who are watching remember you can we ask you to please share questions with us that you'd like us to be asking ideas for occupations or even specific people that you think would make a great interview for an episode of Career Pathways virtual trailheads. You can do that through Twitter. Our Twitter account is at P 20 network. That's P two zero network all in word. We look forward to bringing you more episodes and again cross the pond. Molly thank you so much.


Well, just so happens that I have video evidence what it's like when you watch the Red Sox game with big poppy Oh Objective journalism beautiful, and I felt like kind of a Gregor cuz he had Bobby wants to go home


Then this is a very interesting area in terms of pricing if you think about any data pricing It is a very very nuanced problem and complicated problem you have a bunch of specialists who are putting day and night on that on figuring out what is the right pricing and Generally the value perception of data is on a one-to-one basis say Actor A is looking at your data and other actor B is looking at your data How a perceives the value of your data and different data sets you have versus how B is going to perceive your data and your data set is going to be completely different Generally the pricing or on one-on-one basis Okay, second thing is it has other nuances in terms of whether you're going to go with the pay as you go model or a Subscription model and if the subscription. What is a tenure? What are the commitments there? All right, so these are all classic pricing problems now in NPD What it says is if the price is not agreed upon that is going to be a person who? Arbiter between these two parties to figure out the pricing now That is a complete gray area in terms of how that is going to work And how specializes this person to figure out the data across multiple verticals say it could be fintech adtech Say plain product data or weather data or whatever So how he is going to arrive at the pricing and what are the criteria there? And is there going to be any annexure or blueprint which is going to help in this In this whole pricing as a this thing, right? And the other things in the pricing contact is typically what you have in your SLA agreements If you will have some service credits in case SLA has a problem Then in terms of you will have your own contracts with the data incoming data providers saying that I'll have a share of this Revenue how this revenue which you are generating from this has to go back to those contracts, right? So these are all additional aspects which you need to think into and second thing is when the receiver is going to resell your data What is the pricing there? All right, so that that also might run into the it's a I would say it's like a dy by dx the second level of arbitration Challenges of how that pricing is going to work So this is another thing which I just want to bring into table in terms of pricing it is it is a very very complex exercise in terms of data pricing and Many data business or data as a service business run on low margin actually to be honest in terms of how they operate And this is going to be really really sensitive area when the bill comes into force or if it is not corrected up front


Thank you of course to all our diamond sponsors. I shall address you all in turn as we go throughout. But first of all, it is my responsibility to say hello. For some reason, they've given me 10 to 15 minutes to kick off the conference. So I hope you all like karaoke or you're gonna have a very bad morning. Why do I get the honor of hosting today's conference? Because I'm 99% sure that I have come the furthest to be here. This is a video representation of just how far it kind of skips over the long part really. Has anyone ever been to Cordova? This is an audience participation talk. Anyone show of hands? No, one, one or two? So apparently if you were to dig a hole through the planet starting at Cordova, you'd end up roughly where I started from. There's only a small number of places in the planet where that is true. Because the planet is of course 70% ocean. So it actually looked a little bit more like this. One airport, long, long flight. Very angry toddler in Singapore who was not happy about not being able to sleep. Another very long flight which eventually took me to the right continent but not the right country. As planned, of course, we ended up in Milan and left very soon afterwards. Hey, look, they got chairs in their room. I'm gonna expect better from you, please. Hey, thank you, thank you. A few days in Barcelona. I hope you're gonna be that excited when the karaoke starts. And finally to Valencia. Now the question on all your minds are who is this guy and where have I seen him before? My name is Craig Box. Some of you may recognize me more by my voice than by what I actually look like. I work in Google Cloud Developer Relations. So you might have seen me on the one day that I wore this red jacket. Don't hold a team offsite in California and give everyone warm jackets. It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, in case you couldn't find me, that's me there. I've obviously not quite as excited to be here as that guy. A few other places I've shown up in the past. I am visible in this picture. That's me right there. I was advising the, sorry, announcing the GVISA product project in KubeCon at Copenhagen a few years ago. I might have talked now for long enough that you've figured it out. Sounded my voice. I'm the host of the Kubernetes podcast. It was also announced at that event. There's no picture of me on the slide, but it's an audio medium, it's a trick question. And what have I done more recently? Well, I'm on the stereo, sorry, the steering committee for the Istio project. So you can find a little picture of me on this page. And I hope we're all very excited about this proposal here to join the CNCF. Maybe one or two of you in the audience, not so much. You know who you are, that's all right. But I am here because I am on the program committee for this event. In the program committee, we talk a lot about what kind of conference we should have. How we keep it balanced, how we make sure that one vendor doesn't do too many talks. How we can get talks in from projects that are interesting, but not yet commercially relevant. How we can get people who haven't submitted talks in to represent their projects and so on. The other thing that we do in our program committee calls is talk at length about my intense and somewhat irrational hatred for the term service mess. I am here to tell you this is a low effort pun and I demand you as the community do better. I've done what I can. Many years now I've been on the program committee. I've been quietly guiding people to say, we've heard it before, please don't call things a service mess. If that goes into your title, we might try and sort of ask you. There's one place that you're allowed to use that word and that's if you're talking about eaten mess, which is a fantastic dessert. Although basically just a pebble over that fell off a table. So my message to you this morning is here to ask that we all make some better puns. You might claim there's no such thing as a good pun. Well, maybe I'm going to propose some. They're horribly bad. I apologize in advance, but if you want to put a talk in the future, consider some of these instead. You could call your services a Meshglenn salad. I'd like either applause or groans depending on the quality of the puns, please. Thank you. We don't perform a rollout.  My year this isn't too good, but you could say that you have to be Meshuggah to roll something out like this. Perhaps you have to be Meshuggah to start a mesh company in Boston, Massachusetts. Very specific jokes targeted at certain members of the audience. Boston, Boston, not too good with my accent, I apologize. And from now on, I don't want to hear anyone talking about encapsulated packages. They are now to be called messages in a bottle. Now that gives me an idea. There we are. That gives me an idea that we're going to need to get the sound working for. Told you that be karaoke. I'll send M-T-L-S to the world. I'll send M-T-L-S to the world. I hope that someone gets mine. I hope that someone gets mine. I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle. I wasn't actually expecting to go full on William Shatner with the karaoke. I could probably do better, but I haven't had any water this morning. We'll see. But that has given me an idea to burn a couple of conference talk minutes here to talk about some karaoke that we might be able to expect from some of our projects. So first of all, our friends here from Linkerdee, let's see how I think that they could introduce their project. Something nice and laid back. When I mention Istio on Twitter, William Morgan replies to me, asking if I have tried Linkerdee. Linkerdee, Linkerdee, Linkerdee, Linkerdee. This song's in a really awful key. Famous, of course, for its stripped back approach. Before, of course, Phil Spector ruins its Linkerdee. Just try it out. I, of course, work on the Istio project and certain members of the mesh community have accused us of being all flash and what personifies that more than a horn section. I told you there'd be karaoke. It's very, very 80s. I think I'm gonna get a little dance going. This'll be a good time to get the beat back if you want it. There's a boat that's been on my mind all the time. Is, is, Istio. Oh, whoa. I don't know the VM name. But I connect to it all the same. Is, is, Istio. That's about as far as I could have milked that one anyway. Well, thank you, thank you, thank you. Do we have the team from Kong here? Vic, are you in the audience somewhere? Marco, anyone? We got some guys from Kong. This one, we thought, well, it's the, the commercial product but we'll give it a go anyway. Dumb and Shake's server, baby, mesh the Kongo and know you can't take yourself any longer. It's about all you need. I was going to do a kuma joke but it would have had to have been this joke and I wasn't sure I could nail the falsetto and given how I'm doing this morning, I don't think I'm gonna try. Do it, do it, do it. Oh, maybe, maybe later, we'll see in the lunch break. Anyway, we have the service mesh interface. Anyone from that project here this morning? I didn't think so. Can't use the, can't use the, can't use the service mesh interface, why much longer? There you go. Now, of course, the talk of the conference in some regards and the thing we'll talk about at length this afternoon is of course, EBPF. So let's do a little short EBPF song. It's fun to talk about EBPF. It's fun to talk about EBPF. Is it hyper, real? What is Thomas Graffiel? Guess you'll have to wait for the panel. Thank you, that is the end of the karaoke section. There are some rejected ideas that I didn't get a chance. They say Mechery loves company. We should start a company and make Mechery. Lee, if you're here. We could try into the great wide open service mesh, but that seemed like it would be a few too many words. And I will only let you all know that I tried really hard to come up with something that rhymed with console, that wasn't console. And there are a couple of like kid songs about taking out one's tonsils and so on, but we thought we'd probably let that one slide. Anyway, I sound a lot better on the Kubernetes podcast every week, so if listening to me is something you think you might like to do regularly, then please go look at that in your podcast player. I will be back at 4.30 this afternoon to host the panel on whether or not sidecars were a bad idea that we really should just forget. I'd like to say thank you to our diamond sponsors, to Tetrate, which I think is something that I did with a pipette when I was in chemistry class at school. To Solo, who promised me that they're not named after the Star Wars movie that we collectively forgot existed. And to Boyant, who I don't think have made enough hay of their name. Linkadee Floature Services, something about floating, whatever floats your boat. Thank you very much to the people who made the royalty-free backing tracks, which I butchered this morning. And I would now like to invite our next speaker to get on with the show. Is that William up? You're up next, perhaps? Alright, he's on his way. Thank you and good morning.

In hopes of assisting Eastern Kentucky youths with a place to sleep, Morehead State University will be accepting applications for their Build-A-Bet program. Monday, Mountain Top spoke with Morehead States Joe Rowe and Tanya Sanders about the cause. Well, the Build-A-Bet program started in 2009, basically when the community saw a need for children to be in beds and have a place to sleep at night, a place to feel safe. So it started in 2009. What the program achieves to do is to provide a mattress, a bed frame, a bed bag with sheets and pillows, and other items that a child might need. What you use in a house, you know, to use cold tree items, things of that nature. Since Morehead State's collaboration with AmeriCorps in 2009, the program has gone to help over 1,300 kids in need. This year, the program seeks to help 150 kids with a place to sleep. Sanders mentions how to apply or get involved. And if someone wants to get involved, there are a couple of ways to do that. If a child is between the ages of three to 18 and currently enrolled in school and meets those income guidelines that we have, they can get an application multiple ways. One is to go to the family resource centers. All of them have the application in those 30 service counties or they can go to MoreheadState.edu and in the search bar type in Build-A-Bet application. There is a PDF form that they can print and fill out or an online application that they can fill out and that is sent directly to me and I begin processing those. So they can go to MoreheadState. We have a sponsors form on our webpage that lays out the things that we need. Currently, what we need most is bed sheets that are for a twin size bed, pillows, and just monetary donations. It costs and mattresses as well. We currently, it costs about $250 per bed and we don't ask any, we give this to the families for free so it's a large undertaking for us to do. We currently receive over 700 applications a year and we're only going to be able to build this year 150 beds. The deadline for applications is February 14th with bed builds expected to begin in April. To apply or help out with the program, you can visit MoreheadState.edu keyword build-a-bed.
