from the Regency Center in San Francisco.  I'm Stu Miniman and this is theCUBE's exclusive coverage of Serverless Conf 2018 in San Francisco. Have a nice welcome back to the program to help me dig into what's happening in this space is Corey Quinn who's the editor in last week, editor for last week in AWS. Comes in my mailbox every week. You should sign up too. Well, thank you for having me back. Most people aren't foolish enough to invite me to appear on a program twice. So it's nice to know that some people don't always learn their lesson the first time. Corey, you're spitting out the newsletters, you've got your own podcast now, so you've been getting better.  Exactly, watch the next quarter and see what happens in that front. But for now, it's mostly I have a face for radio and I try to embrace that. All right, so only a little bit nervous. So, about 500 people here at the show which is about the same as what they did in New York City. It's bigger than some of the little developer shows that kind of might cover the space, but probably the largest single focus serverless event. I was excited to come for our second year doing theCUBE here. Have you been to this one before? This is my first serverless conf. Generally speaking, they've been very good at weeding out nonsense proposals from things that people actually want to listen to. And this year was no exception. I mostly snuck in to help emcee the sponsor track and I'm giving a lightning talk toward the end of the conference. Oh, okay, because you said that they're mostly good at filtering, but you managed to sneak one in and out. Exactly, you can always sneak through the cracks. The bar raises very highly, but you can generally get a ladder, rope, something to get you over it. Exactly, or you could just duck under real quick and say, I totally jumped over. Exactly, I was so fast, you never saw it. All right, so tell me, what are you hearing from your customers, your consultants, do they understand serverless? What do they get? What don't they get? What are some of the things you have to help with? Serverless is still very much an emerging technology. There's a perception of it today that it is something of a toy, in that you can use it for certain edge case uses that you don't want to have an entire fleet running for. You want to just be able to set it and forget it. And that's where it starts to work its way into an organization. With time, people start to get comfortable with it and then they start to look at applying it to things that are more directly in line as opposed to back end processing. That's one adoption model. Other people just jump in full hog first day as far as figuring out what can we do with this technology? How do we wind up embracing this and being forward looking? And that's neat to see too. Yeah, and the users I've talked to, they can start playing quickly. It's easy, it's very inexpensive to play with, but they can build real things really fast with this and that's what's pretty exciting. Absolutely, the only challenge to that is there's first a fair learning curve as far as approaching this. Once you surmount that, it's incredibly fast to work with, it's fast to iterate with and the economics of it are stand out, fantastic. Yeah, I just had Erica Windish on the program and Erica said, well, some applications you can lift and shift. And I'm like, hold on, wait a second. Well, if I was building microservices, stateless environments, getting that into serverless could make some sense as opposed to, oh, if I had some giant hunk and stateful thing, legacy application, I'm sure not going to do that. Absolutely, every time someone from AWS gets on stage, I'm excited and I hope, and every time I'm disappointed, they do not announce an AWS 400. There's still not a great cloud story for mainframe workloads, for example, and refactoring something 20 or 30 years old that generates revenue to take advantage, even if the idea of containers or stateless VMs or scaling horizontally is still foreign for a number of companies. We don't need to go down this rabbit hole, but I talked to Walmart, who is doing Global Z with Docker on their ZVM, so they could probably run open WISC on that, right? With enough spit and duct tape, anything's possible. Yeah, so I mean, anything's possible, what would you want to do that? So I guess that brings up a point. There is a broad ecosystem here, but in the cloud world, there's Amazon, AWS, and everybody else. There are, last I counted, at least, seven to 10 open source functions as a service, serverless projects out there, and you've got the big three or four cloud guys out there, all, so there's a lot of options out there for serverless, but what are you seeing from the people you talk to? I think this is a microcosm of the cloud ecosystem in general. There are a number of companies experimenting with Azure, with GCP, with Oracle, with IBM, with all of the others. I'm probably not thinking of it the moment, but everyone is doing something with AWS, and when you start experimenting with something that is as far up the stack as serverless functions, you're generally going to go with the provider you're already using, the provider with which you have comfort, the provider that holds all of your data, and as a result, Amazon has a tremendous competitive advantage in this space, and I think they're really presenting tooling that emphasizes that. Building out this serverless things on some completely different platform, you lose the event source mapping. It's not just about run the code. It's about how it ties into what's happening as data flows through your infrastructure. How does it interface with your existing applications? To something like Kubernetes, come into your conversations you're having, and I guess at the Google event, I'm not sure if it's Knative or Knative, but there was the new, it's a Knative project, which supposed to, it almost sounds to me like a bridge to get from if I was doing that, Istio containers, Kubernetes type environment, bridge into a serverless world. Yes, to an extent. There's also their big push to my understanding, as far as running a number of Google Cloud managed equipment in your on-prem environment, which they're still going to manage from their end. So there's an entire security story there that it would be just as easily, if not more easily answered by migrating things into their cloud. So I'm not entirely sure as what the business and strategy play here is. I assume it's something blindly obvious that I'm just missing, but we'll see. Yeah, Corey, I mean, I understand if I'm using Microsoft applications, why I might want something like Azure Stack, I'm looking forward to going to Microsoft Insight and digging in a little bit more there, but that they're also doing serverless, but GCP or GKE or whatever it is on-prem, maybe for some edge use cases, like you can do with Snowball, I can understand it, but you're right, I'm a little bit flummoxed trying to understand why this is. We spent years with companies like IBM and Oracle saying, well, you're going to build that same stack here and there, and there's part of the stack. I want to be a managed multi-cloud, but how much of that do I really build? And I don't have the Google engineers, and I probably don't need, how much do I need? I'm still not sold on some of those, I guess hybrid case you would call them. Absolutely, I'm still beating the drums for the concept that cloud agnosticism is something of a myth when you look at it on a per workload basis. Okay, I'm going to build this thing and be able to deploy it anywhere I want to go, and by doing that, I have to build a lot of abstractions I would otherwise get for free by picking a certain provider. That's a lot of work, it slows my feature velocity, and all I'm buying with that is an optionality I likely will never use. All right, so you talked about that there's training and customers need to get involved with this. Give us, what are some of the pitfalls, the roadblocks, the internal, you say in networking, it's the layer eight and nine, and the politics and organizational. And the financial level, of course, too. Yeah, well, come on, this is all free, right? Or it's going to lower my cost by 90%, to see if we should be real thrilled, right? Absolutely, and there's a question now of, okay, how do we wind up running Lambda functions locally on our developer desktops? Now, yes, you can more or less build some Frankenstein monster to do that in your environment, mostly, but given the tremendously low cost of running a function in AWS, run it there. Have a short enough development cycle time so you change a line of code, press the button, and you're running this as a test inside of 10 seconds. If you can drop it down to that speed, the nine seconds you spent waiting for that to return its results to you are probably not substantive with respect to how you wind up spending your day. Having to wait 10 minutes for a CI CD process to go through all of its steps and then return only to find out, whoops a doozy, you forgot a semi-colon is a terrible experience. There's a, how do we wind up fitting this new paradigm as it stands today into our existing workflow model? And that's something that a lot of companies are putting serious amounts of thought into. And the consensus that has emerged so far is that everyone else is doing it wrong. There is no consensus. Best practices are still emerging, it's still early days. Yeah, I always say, in the emerging spaces, you can't have a best practice, it's a next practice. And I love it in an event like this, you get to hear some of the people, and there's some of the presentations at the show that are saying, here's what I learned, here's the good things, and oh yeah, here's the bear trap that I found myself into. Any bear traps you'd want to point out? Only the ones that have already been beaten to death by hammers by other people. There are very few surprises left in this space as far as Lambda is concerned. I would say that the things you think you know about Lambda with respect to resource limitations, language run times, how many you can run concurrently at a time, what size package you can have, double check that once a quarter or so, they have the tendency to change the story around these things. That's the biggest pitfall I see across the board with AWS. People are still walking around with the impression that you can only have 10 tags per resource, even though that was raised to 50 almost two years ago. It's the sort of thing where once you learn something, it's difficult to keep in touch with what is changed and how. And that's part of the problem I started the newsletter to address. That and the fact that I think I'm far funnier than I am.  I make myself laugh, and that was really the entire point. Well Hank, if you can make yourself laugh, you know, that's good enough sometimes. But you brought up a really good point. This space is changing so fast.  It should mostly be in my benefit, oh wait, I had a certain limit. Now it's expanded or it's now infinite.  How do they even try to keep up? Part of the trick is you don't have to do that necessarily. We've long since crossed a Rubicon where I can have intelligent conversations with AWS employees about AWS services that don't actually exist. But no one can keep them all in their head anymore. It's a terrifying problem. The first time you sit down in front of the AWS console and look at the services, there's 130 some out of them now. And it's, oh my word, I am never going to understand all of this. And that's right, you don't have to. Some are more important than others. If you're going to be building almost anything today, understanding EC2 and Lambda would be terrific. Sumerian, on the other hand, is a great service that's terrific for VR and AR worlds. But if you're building a CRUD accounting app, maybe virtual reality isn't going to be in your belly wick and that service is not for your use case. And every service has a story like that. For example, A Cloud Guru is built entirely on top of serverless technology. They have no EC2 functions. They don't need to think about anything that EC2 does in the context of running their application. Excellent, I think that should be your tagline for your consulting clients. You don't even need to think. Absolutely. That's generally not how people like to think of themselves, but we'll see. I am working on the new tagline for the newsletter of course. Last week in AWS, because save money by moving to Oracle shouldn't be the most ridiculous thing you read this week. All right, what are the ridiculousness, are you seeing out, want to give you the chance to poke and prod at things that you're seeing that are driving you nuts? I used to make jokes about this and now I see people start to consider doing it here in reality, where they'll take things like Greengrass, which lets you run Lambda functions inside your own on-premises environments, on your own hardware, stuff it into a container.  Also, you can be cloud agnostic on a different proprietary stack of everything that they're offering. It's, this started as a joke and somewhere people started taking that seriously. That's always disturbing. All right, I got one last question for you. You've got a presentation tomorrow. This video will actually air after you've done it, so give us the future according to Corey. So, one of the most defining characteristics of serverless is there's going to be someone popping up to say serverless runs on servers. You talk about monitoring that same person pops up and says that it's not monitoring its observability. I'm combining the two useless semantic arguments into observerless, which is exactly something that you should be doing and probably already are. You can read more about this at observerless.com. All right, well, hopefully, you know, always appreciate when you come on because we are never humorless when you are on the program. So, Corey Quinn, be sure to check out last week in AWS and your podcast also is ScreamingInTheCloud.com. All right, thanks Corey. Always a pleasure to catch up with you and thank you so much for watching the queue.


Hello, my name is Antoine Tamestit. One of my favorite things about the Henley Library app is that I can access the score or the solo part at any time and I think it's a very important and even essential thing for a musician to be able to practice either from the full score or the solo part at any time and to be able to switch back and forth I think is just a wonderful thing.


Climate change will lead to increased predictability of seasonal precipitation in some areas, while decreased predictability may occur in others. This could have implications for water management in these regions. This article was offered by Form V, Vila, James T. Randerson, Rebecca Willett, and others.


Good morning, Governor Newsom. Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear friends, members of the World Economic Forum. It's a great pleasure to welcome you all at this World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Summit here in New York. This is the third year of our Sustainable Development Impact Summit. And over the next days, we will have a very packed program. We will welcome over 850 participants across 40 different workshops, 10 media briefings, and four plenaries. All focused on how to drive impact on the most challenging problems facing us in our world today. I would particularly acknowledge our outstanding coaches for agreeing to take this role. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, 2020 is the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum, the International Organization for Public-Private Corporation. I'm proud as we approach our anniversary, Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohamed, my colleague, the president of the World Economic Forum, Berger Brende, and I signed last June a strategic partnership framework agreement with the United Nations. I thank all the parties of the United Nations for the great trust you place in us as your partner. This important agreement cements the role of the World Economic Forum's platforms and events and which role we can play, we together, to promote multi-stakeholder engagement. What we need is a sense of urgency as it has been expressed in the movie, but we need also direction, perseverance, and a true partnership spirit. This is why we all have to give full support to the Secretary General for his efforts to push for action coalitions at his Climate Action Summit. I'm delighted that in this regard, our own platforms have helped company and government leaders to launch several significant new collaborations for climate action across major industries like shipping, aviation, steel, cement, and chemicals. And also, said new collaborations on sustainable land, food, and biodiversity are gaining momentum. And such new efforts with the financial sector will help promote long-term, properly priced financial decisions to future-proof investments. In fact, organizations who represent 25 trillions of assets under management have been attracted to support the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment, which the Forum in partnership with the UK government has helped to develop. And this is being launched at the UN Climate Summit today. Tomorrow, we will get an exclusive read out by the UN Special Envoy for the Climate Summit. What did it really achieve? What are the next steps and how we still can support the next steps and next actions? We will also have special briefings tomorrow on related issues by the president of Chile and the president of Columbia, President Duke of Columbia, has been hosting, as you know, meetings amongst the leaders of the Amazon Basin related to deforestation, which tomorrow I'm delighted to say he will discuss with us. The forum since its beginning, 50 years ago, has been an agent for stakeholder collaboration. CEOs and business leaders at this meeting will be working with experts on how to develop common reporting frameworks for large companies to measure their activities across all environment, social, and governance measures, and not just on shareholder return. They will be putting the stakeholder framework into action and make it measurable. I'm also delighted that the multi-stakeholder collaboration with His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, is expanding the ambition of such sustainable business models into the club of sustainable markets around the world. You will also hear during this meeting more about this initiative. In other words, we are seeing exciting coalitions to harness technology for the benefit of society. The forum has built in the last two years a network of force industrial revolution centers around the world to harness the new technologies for the benefit of society and mankind. At this summit, we will see the launch of our latest four IR, as we call it, force industrial revolution affiliate center on oceans, a global center of excellence which will be hosted in Norway with strong support from industry, government science, and NGO champions. With globalization, societal change and technological progress have brought new focus to existing inequalities in our society, as well as giving rise to new societal concerns. Yet there has never been a better time to mobilize technology and human capability to address these challenges. Quality education, future ready skills and work are the basis of prosperity and dignity for individuals and forms the backbone of successful economies. The forum supports leaders in creating company level change, industry collaborations, and public-private collaborations at a national level to create new investment into human capital development and deployment. For example, more than 20 country accelerators will be established around the world by the end of the year to close skill gaps, foster job creation innovation, and integrate women into the economy. I'm also pleased to say that through the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, we recognize and we will do it just in a moment, support the leading social innovators working as individuals within business, government, and civil society, exploring how new approaches can drive purpose-driven business models and more inclusive societies. Social entrepreneurship has to penetrate our whole societies. I want to draw your particular attention to another initiative, which we will take actually on Wednesday. We will announce AppLink. This is a major new collaboration with our partners from Salesforce, Deloitte, and Microsoft LinkedIn. AppLink will be an innovative project. It will be a global crowd collaboration digital platform for action on SDGs that will enable generation set and young millennials, startups, and everybody else from around the world to engage directly with decision makers about their ideas and innovations for delivering the global goals. With AppLink, we seek to turn worry and frustration, which we see now on the streets, into engagement and optimism. We will be launching AppLink officially with the Deputy Secretary General at the United Nations on Wednesday. You will hear more about all these initiatives and coalitions and many more, for example, 100 lighthouse projects. You will hear about those over the next two days. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the innumerable business, finance, civil society, and government leaders who have shown the courage and confidence to get involved. I would add security also to get involved and drive those many-fold activities forward. So to conclude and in summary, what does it all mean? We call this meeting a summit, but not for branding reasons. Coming from Switzerland, I know by experience how strenuous it is to climb a 4,000-metre-high summit and how great the satisfaction is when you stand on the peak. We want to create the satisfaction through clear achievements at this summit, which means we want to conquer as many peaks as possible. And I know this is also the special wish of Dominic Wargrie and Territor Reuter, who actually have the responsibility for this sustainability summit. In short, we are here not for a talk show, but for a create and workshop. Governments, UN, and international organizations, business, or civil society alone, cannot improve the state of the world. The world economic forms platforms help to provide the integrating, aggregating, and accelerating collaboration mechanisms for impactful cooperation. At the moment in time when we risk getting paralyzed with fear and overcome with frustration, by the sheer complexity as we have seen in the movie of the challenges we face, I would suggest to you that the sum of all those stakeholder efforts and this summit in particular represents a focused effort to build a much wider sphere of trust in our world today, what the world so much needs. I thank you for your engagement, and it is now my great pleasure to invite the honorable Gary Newsom, the governor of California, on stage to provide us with his remarks. And governor, I think it's very significant that you open this meeting because we know the pioneering role California is playing, and you personally have played. And we are honored to have you here as a friend of the World Economic Forum since many, many years. Governor, the floor is yours. Thank you, Klaus. And thank you all for being out here, and certainly look forward to what comes out of this two-day summit. I come from the largest and most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy. And by and large, we're living together, advancing together, and increasingly prospering together across every conceivable and imaginable difference. 27% of our state is foreign born. We brought in 115,000 refugees in the last 12 years, a majority minority state. It is a remarkable scale of accomplishment that a state as large and diverse as California is doing as well as California. Contrast to record deficits here in the United States, California is enjoying record surpluses. Paid off 100% of the debt we inherited from previous administration. $9 billion were paid down on long-term pension obligations, and have enjoyed a 3.8% GDP growth, on average, over the last five years, significantly outperforming the rest of the country. I say all that not to impress you, but to impress upon you. We did all that at the same time we radically changed the way we produced and consumed energy. California is going through, at scale, one of the great decarbonization efforts that has ever gone on in the world. California has the most audacious climate goals of any nation, let alone state in the country. It's scale, fully functioning cap and trade program, committed to environmental justice, to take care of urban poor, rural communities, our elderly, half of our proceeds from our carbon program go to disadvantaged communities. We have 100% renewable goals. We've reached every milestone we've set out ahead of those dates. And we continue to lead the nation in tailpipe emission, reductions, and fuel efficiency standards. We are also the most untrumped state in America. I say that. I know Klaus doesn't want me to be particularly partisan. I have to be careful. But I say all that, recognizing the headwinds coming out of Washington, DC. Those headwinds aren't just coming west. They're global, particularly on the issue of sustainability. And that's a mindset we deeply embrace. We have years ago decided with intentionality to move away from situational values to sustainable values, move away from short-termism, and start investing in the future. Because we all know if you don't invest in the future, you're not going to do very well there. We are trying to future-proof California. And resiliency is front and center in that endeavor. And that resiliency starts not only with advancing goals. It's the application of those goals. It's the manifestation of our ideals. So fundamentally, California is in, as we say, the how business. And I say that, again, as a point of pride and a point of privilege being here this morning with you, but also as a framework of reference.  Because remarkable things are happening all across the United States of America at the local level. And at the end of the day, localism is determinative. States can't sell down visions. Those visions are only realized at the local level, bottom up, regions rising together. And so it's in that spirit, as I come here, as I say, as a Californian, the birthplace of the United Nations, a state that practices pluralism, a state that every single day is not tolerating its diversity, but tries to celebrate its diversity and unite around, as Bill Clinton loved to say, all our interesting differences, but also unite around our common humanity, the things that bind us together, that I thank you, Klaus, I thank you, the World Economic Forum, for your faith and devotion to the cause of global stewardship, for your recognition that there's no leak on your side of our boat, that we truly rise and fall together, and that none of us are immune to the vaguerties of life. And that's why our job is to allow people to be fully expressive and to do more to encourage the best of ourselves. Thank you all for being here, and thank you for your leadership. I just wanna mark the moment that we're in. This is September 2019, I wanna bring you back just four years, September 2015, when the Sustainable Development Goals were being ratified. It was not at all clear at that time that the world would adopt them, that major corporations, major institutions, that governments would really take these goals seriously. And I thought of that this morning when I was getting my badge here at the World Economic Forum Summit on the topic of the SDGs, and there was a big bowl of these SDG pins, right, as you register. We have changed to the point where people who are in this space and in sectors of all kinds know what these goals are and care about them. And here we are in September 2019 at the opening plenary of a forum meeting, and it's not a group of CEOs or heads of state opening this plenary, it is for the first time a group of social innovators. And I think it marks the moment that we're in, please. I was moderating a session like this in 2015, and one of the panelists is Bill Gates, and he got a question, the question that we all still get today from a journalist in the room who said, I understand that to achieve these Sustainable Development Goals will cost trillions of dollars. The estimates range, but several trillion dollars per year isn't this really impossible, the money doesn't exist to do this, and his answer was, what about innovation? And I think what you're gonna hear this morning, and this is followed by an exciting ceremony that will further cement this idea for all of us, is that there are real innovations happening today that are achieving a kind of scale that can actually address the climate and inequality challenges the world is facing today. None of this will be easy, but there are real opportunities. So we wanna begin by getting into the discussion with some of these social entrepreneurs about what they're actually working on so you can get inspired by their incredible opportunity that's before us. I wanna introduce Salagos, who is the head of MasterCards Labs for Financial Inclusion. And Sal, I wanna start with you because you worked in government, you worked at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, you worked in development, and now you're at a major global corporation, MasterCard, and yet you're a social innovator. Explain to us why that is, why you landed there, and what is the big opportunity around financial inclusion? Thank you. First, good morning, everyone. It's nice to be here. I think that's a great and hard question to start the panel, but I think a relevant one. And I think you can find people who are up to change and committed to innovation in any space. And so we were talking about this in our fellowship in the weekend, it's just a matter of a toolkit. And so the way I see it is we're all up to the same thing and we have a lot of the same goals. And if you look at the 17 SDGs, there's a lot to accomplish. And so the way that I think about financial inclusion, which is what I'm focused on at MasterCard, is just another tool to actually accomplish the audacious change that needs to happen. And so I think if we look at it like that, it's kind of a cross-cutting imperative that we can't ignore, that we need all sectors. We can't do it alone. And so I think if you have people standing for the belief in being able to achieve these paradigm shifting problems in all facets of the ecosystem, I think that's what's necessary. And I think that's how we look at it at MasterCard. What is our role in actually helping achieve these goals? Just quickly use the word paradigm shift and I want to underline that for all of you. I've just written a book called The Business of Changing the World. And the argument I'm making in that book is that while there's been social entrepreneurs for a long time, there's been a way of doing development aid that's been modern and used technology for a long time. We're actually at an inflection moment and things are changing in a dramatic way. And if you look at these social enterprises of the past, we may have thought of them as niche, as small-scale, but there are now some that are achieving a scale that is very hard to even describe. And I thought maybe we could underline that, Salah, for all of us. You're from Nairobi, you're based in Nairobi now. In Kenya, I think it's 97% of households that are using some kind of financial, they're connected financially to a mobile device. Tell us how big this opportunity actually is if we get this right. Yeah, I'm from Chicago. Yeah, so I live in Nairobi now. Exactly. So I think it's huge. So even though the numbers sound big in terms of mobile money, which is popular in some African countries, I think we have to unlock more. So just to be clear, these different mobile interfaces give people access to financial inclusion who can't reach a bank. However, cash still dominates. So I think there are some cross-cutting things that we can do to really cash in on the opportunity. One is identification.  And I think the infrastructure to deliver at the community level is missing as well. And PACE is a great example. There are hundreds of thousands of agents across Kenya, but even in rural areas, not so much so. So I think we still have an infrastructure problem, and I think we still have an identification problem to unlock the scale, but the scale is potentially huge if you think about how many people actually have access to a mobile phone. But also keep in mind that 320 million, I believe it is, less women have access to a phone than men. So although technology is a great enabler, and we are at the point where it can be amplifying, I think there's still some inequalities that we have to think about when we think about access to actually capture the opportunity that you say rightly so is so huge. Sanjibatnagar, you're the CEO of Water Health International. Water is another similar example here. Access is critical. It's not a new issue. We've been talking about water at summits like these for many, many years, and I think the statistics are in many of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia, maybe a third to a half of the water points that have been installed just don't work anymore that haven't been maintained. You've got a radical view about how to bring clean water to people. What is that view? How are you shifting this dynamic? Well, we've been in this space for over 10 years, and the view that we took was that nobody wants to wake up in the morning and purify water or travel a long distance to get it. And as a result, over a billion people, like, say, four or so, how do we change that narrative? And we decided to change that narrative by building a platform that would provide services to water purification plants that would allow them to scale, be profitable, and provide very affordable service. And we have done that today. 10 years later, we have purified last year, for instance, over a billion liters of water. We have over 1,000 plants that are currently in operations, and we have close to 1,500 people servicing this model. And the amazing thing is that we can actually take that today, take that model today, and we can scale that up so that nobody in this world need to be deprived of access to safe water. It's doable within a year or so we can do this by focusing on the thing that we have missed for a very long time, which is we know how to purify water. It's the business model that needed to change, and that's what we are working on. Yeah, in fact, we've got an audience here of leaders across sectors, many in business. What should, for them, it might sound like, well, this is a nice organization that you're running Sanjay, and you're doing some exciting things. Why is this idea of a new business model, a new mindset so relevant to everyone in the room today? I think the main thing to focus on is the impact of not having access to safe water. If you think about our daily lives and the lives of people around us, if they don't have access to safe water, if kids don't have access to safe water, there's lack of development, future opportunity. Over 50% of hospital beds are occupied by people who are sick because of waterborne disease. We have an ability to change all of that. We have an ability to change that, not only because of the work that we are doing, but some of the ideas that we've been pushing now for over a decade. And if we all were to focus on just this piece, I think you have a great follow on impact on half a dozen problems, the SDGs that we are all trying to solve. I think that's why we need to focus on water, in my opinion. Cheryl Dorsey, you're the president of Echoing Green. You've got this enviable job, where you get to meet and spend time with some of the world's great social innovators and fund them and support them. When you see what's happening out there in the world today, just to go back to my opening comments, that this is a real moment in time, how do you describe the moment that we're in? Why is this a point where we should all be sitting up and paying attention to social innovation? All right, well, thanks Raj for moderating. Good morning, everyone. Really honored to be representing the Schwab Foundation Fellows here on this panel talking about the view from the movement of social innovation. So I'm gonna answer that in two regards. First, we talk a lot about scale in social innovation. Is it a niche concern or is it something more mainstream? And I would posit that we have reached the moment where social innovation is a bona fide global social movement. It has all the characteristics that relate to an animating impulse that is unleashing citizen power all over the world. Collective action, a belief that the current status quo is not working for most of us, but instead of sort of the populist impulse, which is to sort of blow it all up because the status quo isn't working, consequences be damned. Social innovators actually take the flip side of that coin of saying we also recognize that things aren't working, but we're gonna try and fix it, which is sort of an animating, wonderful, hopeful spirit of this movement. And I think just sort of, if you believe that demography is destiny, so much of this movement is fueled by the passion of young people around the world, right? We know that we've got 1.8 billion young people, 200 million of those are thinking about employability in low and middle income countries. Innovation and entrepreneurship is a key driver for getting them into this space. So we've got sort of this demographic wave coming alongside this impulse that we've got to think fundamentally differently about the way that we approach societal problems, but my ears perked up because in college, I studied scientific revolutions, the science behind the history of science, and I'm a cuneant, Thomas Cune, who talked about the structure of scientific revolutions, how they happen, and it's about these paradigm shifts, and I would say I can't wait to read your book, but I would also say that we're in this very interesting moment where we are about to tip from moving away from the current way we think about business to a new way where we're thinking about triple bottom line responses. So I agree that I think we're in this paradigmatic moment, and I think there's a lot of opportunity if we tend to it in the way that we need to with enabling ecosystem building and other inputs that make this movement so glorious and so exciting. And just to underline something you said, this is a constructive movement, right? There's a sense of hopelessness out there in the world today. We see people who are saying, can we really get through the challenges facing humanity? And this is a movement that says, it's not gonna be easy, but there are potential solutions, many of them at a local level, and I don't think it's incidental that this is happening at a time of the fourth industrial revolution when there are new technologies, there's new science or new approaches, and on that point, I wanna bring Jeff Mulgan into the discussion. Jeff is with us from Nesta, the National Endowment for Science and Technology in the UK, which you lead, and I wonder if you could bring into this discussion the role of technology in this moment of social innovation we're in. Well, I'm here as part of the public sector cohort here. A former governor of California, Ronald Reagan, you may remember said the most frightening words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help. And in our field, governments are quite capable of crushing creativity and imagination, but we're also seeing all over the world, governments creating funds for social innovators, opening up procurement, running challenges, and I think they recognize if you only innovate in hardware and technology, and you don't also innovate in things like youth employment or gender equity or isolation, society falls behind and gets pretty unhappy. That's the positive story, but I wanna focus on a challenge which I think we all face and becomes very apparent if you talk to the innovators working on SDGs around the world, either in government or outside, whether it's sanitation and water or human rights. And what's really striking, they're very creative, very animated, very committed, but it's very hard for them still to get hold of reliable evidence, what actually works, what does the world learn? Very hard for them to get a hold of good data to understand the phenomena they're dealing with. Very hard to link in with the other innovators working on very similar things around the world. And there's a very simple reason for that and that is that it's no one's job to provide this. We have amazing orchestration of data and knowledge within the sort of big companies in this room, but almost nothing comparable for the SDGs. We have very powerful institutions around money, banks, World Bank, IMF and so on, but nothing comparable around collective intelligence, orchestrating the world's collective learning. And I think this is something we really have to attend to in the next few years. It's a soluble problem. It's not too difficult. It doesn't require all that much money. It's kind of the plumbing which lies one layer below the great gatherings and conferences and convening. And it is, of course, massively enabled by technology. It can be done much more easily than it could be five or 10 years ago, but that's the missing multiplier to turn all that energy and commitment into real impact on the SDGs. Well, a piece of that plumbing and that infrastructure, just to tease all of you for what's about to come, is an announcement by the Schwab Foundation about some changes that they are making that I think will directly address some of what you're describing here.  You come at this for many hats, as a business person, as a medical doctor, as someone who works on social issues around the world and in your home country of South Africa. Why did you choose of all the things your foundation could focus on and fund? Why at this moment have you chosen social innovators? Well, good morning everyone and thank you Raj for your question. Let me just say as a family, my husband and I, Patrice, we joined the Giving Plage in 2013 and the reason for that was to make a difference in the world. We wanted to be part of making a difference in the world. We fund private companies, commercial companies as well as social enterprises with a view of achieving our objective of poverty alleviation in the world, very much aligned with the sustainable development goals. And we know that although we have made a substantive commitment to these SDGs, our resources are very finite and very small compared to what governments actually have. So we have sought to find number one collaborations and partners as well as technology innovative solutions that would ensure that not only do we address SDGs in separation, but we can integrate and solve most of those problems that the world is focusing on. And I'll give you three examples of how we do this. The first one is the social entrepreneurship program which was started by Hilda Schwab, very proud to be associated with this program and Prof, your support of this is really phenomenal. We get to work with people like some of the awardees that you meet today. It's really phenomenal, really incredible. They've always thought of solving business problems using a social motive, wearing the hat of a social entrepreneur, applying human centric solutions, but also making sure that their businesses are sustainable. So it's incredible. We've been with this program for four years and it's one of my favorite ones. Secondly, we've also invested in this new breakthrough energy venture fund, which is a collective of investors that have that look at innovations in technology that will ensure that we use energy and come up with renewable forms of energy that will supply the world, particularly looking at places like Africa where, if you think about it, more than 600 million people on the continent of Africa have no access to reliable, affordable and the newer types of energy. So investment in businesses that will solve these problems. And this is long-term patient capital that can afford to invest in these innovations in these small businesses that will eventually help us to solve problems around energy and impact on things like education, poverty, on health, on women, gender equality. So it goes beyond just solving the one area or the one SDGs. So that's why we have invested in social innovation. You're looking for those opportunities to unlock broader change. Just like Sanjay described, water can be something that unlocks broader change even beyond the water sector itself. I think of an example, when we think of that technology, that there is now an Uber for tractors in Sub-Saharan Africa, right? Where Uber is a technology many of us use and we're familiar with, but it turns out in other markets, the challenge is quite different, where there are still many millions of farmers who spend 40 days to prepare a field for planting. With a tractor, it takes eight hours. So we took a business model, an innovator took a business model from the West and brought it to another population for another purpose and is making profound change. And I wonder on that point, as we think about people here working across sectors, what are some of these new ways of thinking that we want to impress upon them? Cheryl or Sanjay or anyone here on the panel, what are some of the new models that really have applicability that all of us should be aware of? I think one of the things I would mention is we have an audience, a global audience here. One of the first things I'd like to say is that the social enterprises of today are different from the ones that we've seen in the last decade perhaps. We look a lot similar to some of the companies, the large companies, how? I'll break it down. We have profitable business models. We are scalable. We use the best technologies. We have committed people. In fact, any one of these companies here would die to have people the same degree of commitment and drive that we have in our organizations. But we're trying to solve some significant problems and we need some help from the people in this room. I think if you combine some of the ideas that we bring to the table with the resources and operational networks of the large companies, I think we will see a significant change. In fact, I would urge if all the business leaders who are watching this or in this room, if you can take over the next 30 days just two or three of the business models that the foundation has already vetted, already identified, just listen to them. You don't have to make any commitments. Just listen to what they have to say and see if you like something or you find something interesting. Help them scale it up. And I think it can become much like 2000, 2001 when the internet was just starting, right? There were the Brinkett model companies and there was the internet. We have social innovators and ideas and models and we have the enterprises. And we are both moving together towards each other. And this is that moment in time that I think if we were to take just a little bit extra effort, we will come to a point where we are today. But Brinkett model companies have an internet strategy and internet strategies have a Brinkett model strategy. I think that's the moment and we need to take advantage of it. Yeah, you're reminding me that years ago for McKinsey I did a paper and wanted to see are there any billion dollar social enterprises? You know, billion dollars in the world of business isn't quite that big. And so there must have been some that have scaled. I can only find one in the world which is a dairy cooperative in India. And many of the big brand name social enterprises we know really have not been able to get to the level of scale that we're very used to in the world of business. So a big opportunity today is to get business to become social enterprises, to bring the social innovation within the corporate sector. Other thoughts about this shift in mindset. Cheryl, go ahead. And I will just add on to what you're saying. I think it's also about how you define scale in terms of sort of the spread of social entrepreneurship. And I think we have to talk and think a lot about the what, the who and the how of social entrepreneurship. And one of the things that is so impressive to me is how social entrepreneurship is opening the door for new voices. Again, we've talked about women, people of color, proximate leaders who are closest not only to the issues in community but also closest to the solutions because of lived experience. And I love that you mentioned Jeheal Oliver, the founder of Hello Tractor, the Uber for Tractor is a terrific business model. And it is interesting that these social innovators are identifying new business models, identifying new customer segments. And that sort of frontier work that it is very hard for more traditional larger business to do, this last mile capability that social innovators are uniquely suited to do. But again, it comes back to this question of the enabling ecosystem. How do we support them? So more start to get to scale. We've had the great privilege to work for the last couple of years with the TPG Rise Fund. When you look at the Rise Fund, which is again seeking to invest large ticket sizes in businesses like Sanchez helping them get to scale, but they're also understanding and recognizing the import of that very early stage pipeline. And with us, they have structured a deal. They've carved out part of the fund to do very early stage follow on equity investments in early stage social entrepreneurs who meet their social impact and financial impact criteria. And that's a tough push for a fund like Rise, which is not used to the risk profile of many of the businesses that we see in the early stage of the social innovation category. But I think we're gonna have to act differently and sort of assess risk differently if we're gonna start to get to the point where more of these businesses can get into the pipeline and begin to start to scale. Solla? Yeah, I guess I would just add from the perspective of a big company is that's with the realization that we can't do it alone, nor should we. So there's things that companies can do. There's things that entrepreneurs can do. And like Cheryl said, closer and more approximate. I think what we're all kind of boiled down to when you look at the STGs and the difficulty is last mile or maybe even first mile, community level delivery. And I think that partnership model that allows all the partners, whether it's public private partnership or big companies working with smaller companies to bring their best assets to bear is the one that we should be investing in. And I think it relies on the fact that we have different capabilities and I think that's a good thing. And when you have specialization, I would even argue innovation speeds up. People can focus on what they're good on and then what we hope happens is real problems get solved with real solutions. And I think that's what's gonna make the difference and that expertise you have because of proximity then has a highway to jump on from a bigger company to really amplify what the impact can be. And I think together if we think about partnerships that way, then that's kind of how we start moving the needle. It's a great point in the first mile, when you think about it, when you add it up and you look across the world, the first mile is billions of people. It's easy to throw out these numbers and in panels like this, a billion people don't have access to safe water. A billion people. And if you look across the issues on health and education, all the numbers, all the metrics are in the hundreds of millions. We're in an era where we're talking very casually about space travel and we're talking about AI and many exciting opportunities in an abundant world and yet we still have 10% of the people in the world who are living in extreme poverty. The most extreme metric, which is a daily consumption of less than $1.90 a day. So these challenges are very real. They're very extreme. But yet the tools are there now in a way they haven't always been to maybe unlock them. Jeff, do you have any final thoughts on this? And what should people in this room take with them? Well, as Cheryl said, many social innovations spread, replicate sideways rather than scaling. And you mentioned both of you tractors. So there are lots of platforms now for sharing cars, tractors, houses, time, food. Some are run by very large organizations. Some are run at a city level or in multiple ways. Another example of current work is on business models for local news. This is something which really matters in many places. Local news services have been decimated. So there's a search for models which can combine community energy, commitment with technology platforms to provide people reliable news. It's not cracked yet, either here in the US or anywhere else. But this is going to be a very important place for the fight against fake news lies, et cetera. And finally, AI is a really interesting battleground at the moment. Most investment in AI by governments in recent, a few decades ago, was in the military. Then by companies for things like click through adverts. Now we're getting much more systematic commissioning of AI for education or health or to help farmers or one initiative we launched with Google on Friday, which is using AI to help the workers most at risk of losing their job to automation in the next 10 years. How do we mobilize technology to help them so they're not the losers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? And those are examples where we need creativity on the technology, the business models, but also the social forms which make these actually serve people's needs. Right, and in the end, if you think about the goals that you just described, those are very commonly understood as government goals. What's different is you're now looking at ways to collaborate with private sector and new technologies and new models to actually achieve those goals. Yeah, and just a final point, if you look in any country at the SDG target for 2030, the current trajectory, we have to accelerate from the current trajectory to where we need to get to. And pretty much on every topic, it will be some combination of top-down government, local government, some role for the market, new technologies, and some bottom-up community creativity. And we have to learn to be multilingual, not just to assume our sector has all the answers. Yeah, precious, again, I would like for you to close out this session for what you think people in this room who come across from government and from the nonprofit sector and business and so many other elements of our society, why should social innovation matter to them? Why do we all need to be social innovators at some level? Well, I think like you said in the beginning, next year we mark the 10-year milestone towards the achievement of the SDGs. And we also live in very interesting times in that we can achieve those goals. What we need to do is to work with each other, collaborate across multiple platforms. We need to be using the Fourth Industrial Revolution and technology and innovation to try and speed up and exponentially, not just speed, but exponentially to reach those goals. I think it's important that business sees itself as an important stakeholder in our journey towards achieving these SDGs.  Maybe the other side of that coin is disruption. And there is real disruption in the world today. We're very used to seeing that across our industries in the energy sector, the automotive sector, the news industry, where I come from. You see disruption everywhere. Disruption is coming to the social sector. We're not able to do the work that we need to do to achieve the goals we need to achieve the old way. There has to be a new way to do them. So I hope you take from this session today that that opportunity is before us and it's for all of us. And I'm very delighted now because we're moving into a section of the this morning's event where we will have an award ceremony. I understand we have a video to play before I introduce the next speaker. So please join me before we do that in thanking this fabulous panel.


Hi, this is Sam Alakoum, a Senior Alliances Solutions Architect with GitLab. I've been working with GitLab for the last three years and practicing IT for the last 22 years, through which I have many large-scale organizations in transforming their business objectives and plans into workable IT solutions. I've experienced a multiple cloud technologies and very good knowledge in cloud-native platforms, which enabled me to coach multiple large-scale entities in the AIPAC region through their application modernization journey. I'm a DevOps Institute investment. I'm a public speaker in multiple cloud conferences across the world. I'm really looking forward to speaking with you in the next session. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I will. Thank you very much. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining me in this session today. Where we will discuss how to accelerate Google Cloud adoption with GitLab. My name is Sam Alakoum. I'm a Senior Alliances Solutions Architect with GitLab. Well, I believe you agree with me that applications modernization has been a key requirement for most of the enterprise organizations today. Actually, in our discussion with many of these organizations, we found that they share four key pillars in their modernization journey. Applications migration refactoring and consolidation, cloud-native applications development and deployment, infrastructure and platform automation, and measuring the overall maturity of the modernization lifecycle using the industry-available matrices like the one provided by DOR, the DevOps Research and Assistant. In the next few minutes, I will be focusing on how GitLab can help in streamlining and standardizing the applications migration refactoring and consolidation process. For applications hosted in virtualized environments, whether we are talking about on-prem environments or in the cloud, Google provides a very well-structured process and migration tools to extract, containerize, and deploy these applications to Google Kubernetes services, whether we are talking about Google Kubernetes Engine or Anthos Kubernetes Service. The process simply consists of the following steps. Install, deploy, and configure the migration tool, connect to the back-end application VMs or virtualized environment, generate migration plan, share that plan with the application SMEs and owners, update the migration plan as per the gaged inputs before using it to generate the Kubernetes manifest deployment manifest and then use them to deploy the application into the target Kubernetes clusters. So the question here, how can GitLab help in facilitating and standardizing the process? Well, basically, GitLab role can help in first automating the overall process or all the manual steps in the process, including the installation and configuration of the migration tools, the connection to the back-end applications or VMs, and the generation of the migration plan and manifest and the deployment of the application into the target Kubernetes cluster. Second, facilitating the collaboration between all the subject matter experts of the application and even with the operations team responsible for the migration. Into a central place, into a GitLab platform where people can share their inputs and feedback down to the line of code. And make sure that everyone's feedback has been acted on and documented before deploying the application into the target environment. Third, screening and scanning all the managed generated manifest for any security vulnerabilities and make them available before we make the decision to merge all our changes and push the code into the deployment. So with GitLab, the process would be simply, first, a GitLab project without an automation pipeline responsible for the installation and the configuration of the Google-provided migration tool. Then, also, GitLab job in this automation pipeline would be able to use that configured migration tool to connect to the back-end application VMs and generate the migration plan. Then, another separate GitLab project would be created with all the relevant users. The tenants for that migration, a migrated application would be added to that GitLab project along with the generated migration plan from the previous step uploaded into that project so people can start collaborating, use the GitLab collaboration capabilities and collaborate into the generated plan before using it again into a GitLab pipeline job to generate the Kubernetes deployment manifest, again, scan them for all security vulnerabilities and get everybody's feedback and review into these manifest before using, again, the GitLab job in the pipeline to deploy that application. In this way, we are achieving the best from the two worlds. Google standard migration tools and process and GitLab end-to-end DevSecOps platform to automate, collaborate, and securely scan all the generated manifests and artifacts before deploying them into that target environment. In the result, we have an end-to-end standardized repeatable process that can be used to migrate and consolidate and refactor applications from the backend applications, from the backend environments. Speaking of refactoring, GitLab DevSecOps capabilities that can be used to refactor and redevelop these migrated applications as per need. If you'd like to learn more about GitLab capabilities, please feel free to jump into GitLab.com today and create your own trial account where you will be able to have access to GitLab ultimate features and start building GitLab projects and try them. Also, please feel free to scan the barcodes here to learn how GitLab has helped other customers in achieving their business objectives and overcome any challenges in their application modernization lifecycle. Definitely feel free to get in touch with GitLab representatives or even Google representatives for a free consultation on your DevSecOps journey. I hope you enjoyed this session with me and looking forward to speaking to you in future events. Thank you very much.


Okay, we have a lot of things to look at today, which is always good, but I think I'm going to watch CN first. It's really kind of like a tie here between CN and CPB. So happy we get to shore today and again that there's a lot to look at because it's been a slow wink.  So I was happy about that too, but it was a long day. So again, I'm on CBS this morning. So I've got to be done here by 10 o'clock, hopefully. And I think we're gonna, we're gonna get it. Let's just make sure that these things, wow, look at that spread. Gotta make sure these things are open. There we go. Okay, okay, okay, CN. So stopping this because of the spread is gonna have to be, I'm gonna put it at 4730. Let's do 99 by 30. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. It just broke. Gosh darn it. I didn't get it. Well, I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait. It just, it broke like that. It's at 4450. It's, um, this is, look at this. Did anybody get it? I literally spit out the numbers and it just broke right into it. This is crazy. I did not get the trade. Wow. I hope somebody got it. Jackie got it. I would get out of it and we'll retake it because that just dropped like $2 right there almost. That was completely, completely unexpected. I would, I would get out of that. And this lifted. We picked the right one, but I just, I never expected that. All right, let's just get situated here. Yeah, I didn't get it either, Ravi. So just relax yourself. I mean, I was here. I had my hand in the button, but I just, it just, I mean, it literally, I don't even, I don't even know if it hit 99. I think it just went right down to 80. I don't, I don't, I honestly, it was like, it was like an 80 and then it was like, then it broke 44. All right, let's try to find a way in here. Let's get organized. I don't expect that at all.  But again, if you did do that, I would have been out of that because it had a $2 drop. Do you know what I'm saying here? And, and, and then retake it. So that's my two cents there. Okay, we're going to put the stop 60. Now 45, 60, I'm sorry. Let's do 99 by 60. Do it, do it right now. Get the stop in. 45, 60, get the stop in. And we'll catch this down through the low and then maybe we'll just get out of it and then we'll do another one in here. But I think that's going to hold us through. And if you didn't do it, you could do it when it breaks. Here, it's going to break. 45, 60 is the stop though. Here it goes. Here it goes. Wow. This is just wanting to go. So there's just no other way. Here, here, here, here, here, here, here. And let's see if we can get it down to 43. And if it doesn't break that, then we'll be out. Then maybe we'll do it again. Got to get it under that 30 area. Quickly look here at the market. Got to wait on that. Let me look at this. Again, we're probably not going to have time to go over anything today because of the fact that I'm on CBS. But I would be very late today with whatever you do. And I would just do this morning stuff because the market's tricky here for many, many, many reasons, which again, I don't think we're really going to have time to go over here today. I'm glad we did the CM because the CPB is just... Okay, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. CN. Let's see if we can get under 43. Broke the low? Yeah, you could have been out of it and you could have retaken it. And that's what I said earlier. Or you could have just stopped whatever you want to do. Gosh, I didn't even see it hit 99. That's why I didn't do it. Like, it just, you would have almost just had to just take it, you know, wherever he got filled from the time I called it or just take, just pressed it before it even went. I don't know. It was just, but that's not that that's a bad thing. It's a good thing. And we didn't quite get down here yet. So let's just see. I think we can do it. I'm surprised the way that Campbell's suit though, backed up. I didn't expect that to happen. So again, we had, we had data out this morning less than expected people finally for unemployment, but we got down. You see how nothing goes together with anything at all that makes any sense. That's why you got to look at the price action and the gap. You read the gap, you rate the gap. You cannot fall the fundamentals because again, we were down this morning, but the number was better than expected. You know what I'm saying? And that definitely doesn't mean we're going to rally. Not that we would buy this here anyways. I'm talking about the market and we're waiting this through and we're just looking at everything here and checking everything out. Here we go. This is going to break down again. We're going to, we're going to get out of this around 42 and change whatever it is. This is going to be a nice trade. Did anybody hold the spy all day? And what did I say? I said 360. It almost got there. It ran out of time. It almost got there though. Jackie did. Yeah. It almost made it. The beautiful angel, the angel of the day. Ryan did too. Oh, you were able to hold it. I know you have to get to work. Well, that was lucky. You really didn't have to manage it though. You could have just walked away, went to the office, come back. It really wasn't even like you didn't have to manage it whatsoever at all. Look how funky this thing there looks here now. I don't know about this guy. Here we go. Here we go. Gosh, did we deserve a wonderful, fabulous, easy, quick, fast day and we're getting it and it's working out with my schedule and I almost can't even believe it.  You could have just sat and, but I'll tell you, looking at charts all day, looking at charts all day, it is even if you're just sitting here looking at them staring at charts all day like I did yesterday, it's mentally exhausting. Like it's like, I was in my pajamas at 6.30 last night, like ready to go to bed. Here we go. See, here we go. We just broke 43. It is exhausting. You're like, did I miss something?  Even if the trade is up and you're in it, just managing it. And the longer the day goes on, you're like, I'm tired. Please, before o'clock come. All right. So you got to get out of this. This dropped, had a nice move, dropped and broke that area and not by a lot. I still think it has more room in it, but I do have to be done early and this is a good trade. Hand the button. Let's try to get it down. Come on. You can do it. Here on Bootsy. Here it goes. Duck-duck-duck-duck-duck. Oh, Jackie did it twice. Good job. Did you make a thousand bucks?  That happens.


Police officers attached to the Grozile police station have formally arrested and charged a female in relation to alleged breaches of the COVID-19 protocols. About 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, at Pigeon Island, Grozile, a female non-national was approached by peace officers COVID wardens after they observed that she was not adhering to the mask-wearing requirement in a public place. The officers reported that she was cautioned to do so but refused, proceeding to her explicives at them. She was taken into custody for refusal to adhere to the enacted laws. The female in question has been identified as Johanna Kovolstow, a 30-year-old national of Finland, residing in Grozile's inclusion.
