All right, so good afternoon, everyone. I'm Marek Ducek, I'm head of Middle Eastern North Africa, the World Economic Forum, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to this closing session. We've had great two days of deliberations, and I'm joined by a really distinguished panel of people that I believe really reflect the richness of the different deliberations that we've seen here over the past two days. Let me just recap for you what was at stake here. We were gathered here under the theme building new platforms of cooperation. What did we mean by that? What do we mean by that? Well, as you know, we have been working the World Economic Forum on the region, in the region, with the region since the 70s. And we have multiple points throughout the year where we consult with different stakeholders in the region. And the picture that has been emerging over the past few years is really a picture of a region of two systems. One that is forward-looking, that has the demographic majority of young people that are under the age of 30 technology natives. It's got great companies, globally competitive multinationals. It's got very forward-leaning governments that are open economies experimenting with new policies that are quite impressive. On the other hand, the other system is the legacy system, bloated public sector, arguably sclerotic institutions not fit for purpose, and obviously conflict and fragility. And so the picture is two systems forward-looking legacy. And how do we make sure that we enable the forward-looking system to achieve velocity? And how do we make sure that it is not held back by the gravitational, very strong gravitational forces of the legacy system? The fact is that most of the people, most of us, we live in a mixed reality. So even if you live in a, you can have a one day in a very forward-looking system, but then you go to the post office or you go back to where you are originally from and you encounter the legacy system. So building new platforms of cooperation is really about how do we provide space for people to think through the future of the economic and social model? How do we think through environment? How do we think through having really effective mechanisms to work on humanitarian emergencies in this region in a multi-stakeholder way, given the tension and the architecture of the two systems? So this is just a recap of what was at stake, what was at the heart of this summit. The other thing I wanted to, at the beginning, just to mention, this was, of course, a space, two days of dialogue and deliberations, but what does it lead to? It's very, very important that there are outcomes, that it leads to something that we can all be proud of. And so, of course, there may be many results that I have missed, but I've attempted to, with my colleagues, to look at some of the outcomes that we've seen, nascent outcomes that may be important. First, Jordan. We see a huge gap overall, fractures in global cooperation and dialogue. Well, Jordan just reaffirmed, again, that it is a convener of global community, not only regional, but of global community. You know that among the 100 startups that we announced here, 27, were from Jordan. A huge testament to the innovation and entrepreneurial capability of this nation. We also had a shapemina. The gathering of the outstanding leaders under the age of 30 was here in Jordan. So really a big thing for Jordan, reaffirming its role in the region. The other thing I wanted to mention to you is around the startup ecosystem. So we have, and we'll talk about it with Anna, we have identified a gap. It's about how do you scale impact of these startups? And there was a specific outcome out of the startup program. The United Arab Emirates came forward and said that all the 100 startups that were selected by the World Economic Forum will have access to long-term visas to come to the United Arab Emirates. A really, really important step. The other gap that was identified by many of you is this gap about people that live, there are refugees, young people, that may be the lost generation. They may be unemployable in the future because of the situation they find themselves in right now. And you may not know, but there was a big announcement here. The University of the People announced tuition-free accredited online university in Arabic, specifically targeted at the vulnerable populations in this region. The other thing I wanted to mention, another outcome, very important, I don't know if you knew, but many people are skeptical about the geopolitical outlook or the fragilities that we say 85% of respondents to our global risk report are saying that they think geopolitical confrontations in this region and globally will increase this year. Well, what we did here, we had two young people, one from West Jerusalem, one from East Jerusalem, stepping forward in a press conference and saying that they are establishing two hubs of global shapers, East and West Jerusalem in this political climate, and they're establishing them and they're saying they're gonna work together. They want to make the voice of their generation be heard in building peaceful and equitable societies. Very, very important. The other thing I wanted to mention, I could go on, but I wanted to just mention another thing, our global risk report identified quite an important blind spot for the region and this blind spot is environmental stewardship because some could argue, okay, we in certain societies, there is so much to focus on in terms of the social issues, in terms of unemployment, environmental stewardship, second, third order. Well, it's changing and particularly the young generation, the shapers that are here, they put that quite high on their agenda and there was one specific outcome I wanted to mention when the UAE Minister for Climate Change and Environment made a big announcement in supporting the initiative that the World Economic Forum has around circular economy and they will focus in that effort on the region specifically and how particularly the technology, the fourth industrial revolution can contribute. So there are many other outcomes that are on this list that I could enumerate, but I think some of them will also come out of this conversation. So let me turn to my colleagues here on the panel. First, let me introduce them. We have with us Aranya Al-Mashad, Minister of Tourism of Egypt and Young Global Leader. So Aranya, welcome. Alam Bejani to my left, Chief Executive Officer of Majid Al-Futaym holding in the UAE. Noura Al-Ghariba, Design, Strategy and Brand Development Officer of Syntax in Jordan and a Global Shaper. We have Bob Roberts, Founding and Senior Pastor at Northward Church and Adel Buseli, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Amal Glass and one of the 100 startups that we've awarded here at the Dead Sea. Alam, let me start with you. You are also a co-chair of this summit. You talk a lot about markets and scale. You talk about frictionless trade in the region. So how do we get there? For example, in our private proceedings, we talked about Karim, three billion acquired, same amount of customers have lived, went public for 23 billion, scale, scale, scale. So how do we achieve more scale in the Arab world for the next generation of companies to achieve the heights of left? To lift up. Yes, we need to lift up the region, that's for sure. Well, thank you, Mirek, and thank you again for the opportunity to co-chair this MENA summit. I think I came to Dead Sea with a number of ideas and one of them was how can we use this opportunity to create new platforms for cooperation in order actually to do something that's badly needed for the region, which is find a new economic model that can integrate this region and allow it to punch above its weight, rather, sorry, to actually punch at its weight where today we're punching below our weight. We live in a region that has 600 million people, but actually we produce less than a small country of five or six million people elsewhere in the world. In order to do that, we need to engage into more cooperation, we need to talk together, we need to actually work together, and we need the private sector that actually nets this region together to come forward with an economic vision. And this is something that never happened in the past, an economic vision that's constructive and that can actually double or triple the GDP of the region. So I came with these ideas and every conversation we had in a way reaffirmed my beliefs in the necessity of these new platforms for cooperation and in the fact that this is badly needed, whether we talk about data flows, whether we talk about the four IR and how are we gonna benefit or how are we gonna make sure that this region does not miss its fourth industrial revolution and so on and so forth. We see that this is extremely important. This is one takeaway for me, and we see that most of the technological related issues are limited in this region because of, I would say, old words, old word issues. On the other side, I gave an example that actually in the same week when Kareem was acquired by Uber, which actually is a very important milestone for the region because it's a testimony of the importance, of the testimony of the importance, growing importance of the region globally after Amazon having acquired Tsuk. We see that similar transactions, in a way, happens in the US with a company that has almost the same amounts of rides that Kareem has and actually goes, IPOs, for $24 billion, while Kareem is sold for $3.1 billion. So in a way, and I would say very anecdotally, this is the discount of the region. So if you have the same business that is sold for, is valued at $24 billion in the US and only 3.1 in the region, the region discount is something around $20 billion. And this is one of the first time where actually we see how much is costing us to do business in this region. Now what does this mean?  No, what we should do is double down on actually bringing this region up because we have so much at stake and also we have so much opportunities and room for development. We have a region that has the right social demographics. More than 50% of our population is less than 25 years old. We have a region that's actually extremely engaged with very high internet penetration and mobile penetration who have extremely good talent. But what we need to do is come together and work on netting this region together to create, to make sure that the total is greater than the sum of the parts. And I think the conversation that you had here were fantastically, were fantastic, greatly important. And I already see a number of actions that have been taken and will be taken after these conversations. So great opportunity to co-chair, love the fact that we have a number of practical outcomes that happen. The UE reacting immediately and say, look, you guys, you're great talent. The UE is open for business. We're here to support you and we are going to basically lend you our platforms in order for you to grow. And at the same time having the 4IR Center in Dubai, I think that will be inaugurated somewhere in the coming weeks. And a new work stream there on circular economy that is extremely important, also taking shape is very encouraging and we're looking forward to do more. Thank you. And I'll still come back with some other questions. But moving to Rania Mashhad, Rania, I've known you for a number of years. You are now Minister of Tourism for Egypt, but you also, you were Vice Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt. Also, you were at the IMF in the meantime. And I know how important always for you has been and how much thinking you've done around the role of women in society and a role of women in the economy. So if this has been a big thing for us here, we had a specific session on that. We had a new report that one of our partners launched here looking at that opportunity. What does it mean for Egypt specifically? I'll be very interested. I know you're reforming the tourism sector, but overall what does it mean for Egypt the opportunity of even more inclusion of women in society and in the economy? Thank you very much, Merrick. I'm also very glad that I'm a co-chair during this event with Alan and other colleagues. Before I talk about women, there's something that you said which is quite fascinating, this idea of forward-lookingness and legacy. And maybe one of the sectors which is very well known for the region tourism. You have a lot of legacy, but at the same time we want to reform so we put the forward-lookingness with it. We try to employ the new norms of doing business, digitalization, women empowerment, green tourism, sustainability. So you try and weave in the future and what we see currently with a lot of the history that exists not just in Egypt but in different regions. Just something on tourism, particularly today when we are discussing the rise in the concepts of nationalism and protectionism. One of the sectors that actually encourages everyone to know each other, be close to each other, connect with one another. Spreading ideas of cooperation is tourism. People are able to travel from one place to the other, no different cultures, so it's one way to actually overcome a lot of the unfortunate rise in some of the rhetoric around protectionism and nationalism. What we are doing in Egypt, I've been a minister for 14 months and I've been trying to change the narrative on the sector. So rather than just take it as some jobs here and there and so forth, no, I want everyone to realize that it is an important export. When you look at tourism globally, it represents 10% of global GDP. One in every 10 jobs comes from tourism. One in every five new jobs is in tourism. It's the SDGs, the 17 SDGs are in the heart of that sector promoting prosperity, peace, conserving heritage sites, empowering gender equality. All of these issues come very much in the heart of the sector. In Egypt, we've launched the E-Trip. E-Trip is the Egypt Tourism Reform Program and the idea is collectively to have people saying the same vision, acting upon it, whether it's the government, the parliament, the private sector, which represents 98% of tourism. And the overarching objective for us is that every household have at least one person working in the sector. So this is something that we are implementing. There's a lot of political will behind it. And when it comes to women in the E-Trip, there's a whole section, a pillar of reform called global international trends. And in there we have green tourism, women empowerment, and digitalization and innovation. And therefore what's being discussed here in the forum with startups, the idea of how you bring this future into a sector that has a lot of history is key. For women and women in Egypt, we have the National Council for Women and it's taking a more proactive role. On many of the statistics that are published by the WEF, we don't score very well. We're very mindful of that. And the government has been taking a top bottom as well as a bottom up approach. Currently we are eight female ministers in cabinets. I'm the first female minister of tourism, which is a very male dominated sector. We have 15% of women in parliament, 44% of women in the public sector. However, our objectives are much more and we want to increase that to 30% in cabinet, 30% in parliament. There is for the first time a national observatory to basically monitor the progress and look after those KPIs. There's for the first time a national strategy for women empowerment, which is done at a national level, making sure that women get into leadership courses. There's a mentoring program leading by example. In tourism, in the pillar related to women, there's a minimum number of women that are required for courses to be filled in. There are workshops on harassment, making sure that the working place, whether in hotels or in companies, are also quite decent and conducive for participation. So there's a lot of effort that's taking place and what is very encouraging is that globally the sector is doing well, mobilizing people within the country to actually see the importance of the sector, not just as a livelihood, but also as a national stamp. One thing I will conclude with because it also comes with this idea of the old and the new, we have the Grand Egyptian Museum, the gem. It's opening up at the end of 2020 and our branding is the gem 2020. It's fascinating that you see a museum which includes 100,000 pieces, which is the only museum dedicated to one civilization. It will have the full collection of Tutankhamun, 5,000 pieces. Many of you might have seen artefacts in different museums, but this is the only museum where you can see the collection and take a selfie with the pyramids. It's on the plateau of the pyramids and it's very contemporary from the outside. So again, the idea is you can have history, you can have legacy, but at the same time, you would be able to showcase it and use technology and use innovation and basically be able to discuss and implement a lot of what the forum stands for. Thank you. Nur. I mentioned that the Global Shapers community focused a lot on the environment here. That was the meeting just before the summit. You're part of the Global Shapers community. You are a Jordanian living in Amman. As a Jordanian living in Amman, why is it important to you to work on environmental stewardship as a priority? Great, thank you, Merrick. First of all, as context, we at the Shapers community host regional gatherings for Shapers every year, so we have seven. And the Amman Hub just hosted the Shapemina Summit last week. Our focus was on climate change and it was mainly because we keep hearing a lot about how climate change and environmental issues are crucial, but for us in the region, given the situation and context, we feel like there are a lot of challenges we should tackle first. So for the Amman Hub and our fellow Shapers, we felt that it is worth to explore is it actually an issue we should be thinking about right now given our situation? So we actually put together an experiential program that allowed us to talk to local experts on the issue and also visit areas in Jordan that has firsthand witnessed the effect of climate change. So for instance, we went to Azraq, which is a town in northern Jordan that has its resources almost completely depleted, especially its water resources. And then we were allowed to see that it has actually affected the local community, whether it's the women who work there, the education prospects, the environment and the bird migration given that Azraq is actually a focal point for bird migration. So when we were reflecting afterwards, especially in these few days, we noticed that you know what, it is an important topic that should be brought onto the forefront and we do not know enough about it. So at least we should be taking the simple steps of maybe learning more about it now so we can act faster than we should. So just bringing the topic onto the forefront given the other challenges that we have, but including that amongst them. Thank you. Bob, you're an evangelical pastor living in Dallas.  How come that an evangelical pastor based in Dallas makes the effort and travels to Iran to Gaza? How come? So I would just say I am a real live evangelical Baptist pastor, I'm just happy. So don't hold it against me, it's an honor to be with you. Thank you for the invitation to get to be here, to be a part of this forum. I would say for me, the people that I feared the most have become the people that I love the most. And the truth of the matter is I'm the most unlikely person on the face of the earth to be doing what I do. I grew up deep East Texas, that wouldn't mean a lot for many of you, but very conservative. I was radicalized as a Baptist early on and extremist and so forth. And so I had a worldview that was very narrow, if you will. And my wife and I always wanted to be missionaries, but there were some reasons that didn't work out because of some health challenges that she had, but it was in God's plan. And I stumbled into the world and it changed me. And here's what happened in a nutshell. Our church wanted to do something to serve in the world and so we focused on Vietnam. So working with a communist from Vietnam, growing up in a country that had been a war with Vietnam, that wasn't a likely place to go. You can't preach and do what evangelicals do normally in Vietnam, but I discovered that if we wanted to go in and serve the people, they wanted us. And so it's a long story, but whatever your job was is what we mobilized you to do in Vietnam. So our bankers did projects for water buffaloes, but it wasn't enough just for our fluent people, our long people began to build corrals for the water buffalo and teach the Vietnamese how to do that.  My wife, real proud of her this year, she finishes up working with the Vietnamese for 15 years, their special education program and curriculum. And so whatever your job was, you served. So what I've learned from this forum is we need to collaborate together because the truth of the matter is churches, mosques and synagogues are filled with hundreds and thousands of people that wanna make a difference in the world. But guess what? They don't wanna be missionaries, they don't wanna preach, they just wanna go serve people. And so that's been good for us to experience. Last year, Vietnam gave us the friendship medal, which is the highest award anyone can get in Vietnam. Can't brag about it at home. I'm from Texas and I'm a Baptist, so it doesn't go over real big there. But I'll tell you guys about it and hopefully you'll be happy. So the first thing I would say learning from this is we need to collaborate together. Here's the second thing I would say is we need to move beyond conversation. I heard that here when Dr. Schwab gets up and he talked about just don't talk about things, have a plan. And so the second group of people that I began to work with that scared me more than the communists were the Muslims. And after 9-11, I was invited to go to Afghanistan and work. And I did, I wish I had time to tell you the story, I don't. But through a fluke, I became friends with one of the warlords. And so through him, we began to connect young Baptist pastors with the moms. And we built schools and clinics and all kinds of things together. And about that time, I got to know a man named Oliver McTermin, and he began to mentor me about how to relate to Muslims and many others as well. But here's what I learned from working with Muslims, three things, I'm an evangelical. And evangelicals don't go to interfaith meetings because we believe there's only one way to heaven. And we also believe that if we go to that and people disagree with us, they view us as bigots who wants to go be viewed as a bigot, so we don't go. But I realized as I was becoming friends with communists and Vietnamese and Muslims and Afghans, there had to be a way to connect. And so we changed the language. So I don't talk about interfaith because no evangelical is gonna go to an interfaith event. I talk about multi-faith. You don't have to give your faith up, but it's good to be friends with people. Jesus liked most people, so why don't we reach out to them? So that was a big thing for us. I would say another shift was moving from information to relationship. And I know that some of you guys may really disagree with me on this, especially those of you that are social scientists. I don't think the problem is information. There's so many things written to our own tribes about getting along. I think the problem is we don't know people in the other tribe. That's what changed me. I became friends with Muslims and I thought, these people are not who I've been told they are. In our church, we begin to expose our church. We lost a few hundred members, but literally we begin to invite Muslims to come to our church. In Texas we have this very famous barbecue. So we bought a bunch of beef ribs and we barbecued it Texas-style with an Imam there to make sure everything was fine. And we served at Halal. We expected a couple of hundred. We had a couple of thousand Muslims show up for that. What happened in our church and in the community was people became friends with Muslims. And that was the game changer. Now they're looking at different sources from where they get their information from. And so from that, I wish I had time to talk to you about it, but me and Imam Majid, one of the leading Imams in Dallas-Fort Worth, started these pastor Imam retreats. Believe it or not, in Pakistan, we lived and it went over really good. And then we started them in America. And we've now had 15 of those. Our goal is 50. It's impacted over 200 congregations and half a million people just in the last 18 months.  But we're praying because we believe in faith. And I would also say what happens is, especially in the faith community, we've gotta move our faith community from tribalism to becoming global citizens. And there's a way to use your faith to do that. Faith does not have to be counter to citizenship. And here's a, so I would say, we need to start collaborating, everything I've heard. I would also say we need to move beyond conversation, but I would also say something else. I would say we, all of us, really need to be converted. Every single one of us. Now I know I'm evangelical. I want everybody to believe in Jesus and I'll baptize all of you. I was excited, King Abdullah has built the Baptistry site. You've heard of John the Baptist? Well, I'm Bob the Baptist. I want to use that thing. I mean, I'm really excited about it. But here's what I would say. I think inside of ourselves, we've got to be converted about how we see other people. And we're gonna do that as we become friends with them as we relate to them. And so the challenge is this. We all know we're supposed to love God. So let's love him, whatever your faith is. We all know that we're supposed to love one another. That's not a debate. But if we do what Jesus said, I mean, Easter's coming up, what does he do? He gives us life for the world. Well, I think that we have to be willing to love our enemies. And when Jesus said love your enemies, he was being counterintuitive because you cannot love someone and be their enemy. It's just impossible. And so I would say what's critical for us, if we're gonna be different, we've got to see the image of God in one another. And when I look at the image of God, I can't hate, I can't fear. And so when they're upset with me, instead of me saying, well, you're wrong, my first question is to become, what needs to change about Bob? And that's why. Thank you. Adel, you're the founder of a company, startup that was selected among the 100. First, tell us about your company. Well, thank you very much. I'm the CEO of the company. I'm not the founder, just a small correction. If you allow me, I'm gonna wear it while I describe it. So, Amal Glass is a wearable for the blind and visually impaired. We use artificial intelligence and machine learning to make their lives easy. Doing a group of things all the way from simple stuff, telling them day, time, and weather, moving on to color detection, GPS location, all the way to cool stuff like reading to them in Arabic and English, detecting currency, and we're experimenting with environment as well, environmental detection. That's what you do. So, we were here two years ago. We had another group of 100 startups here. So, when we thought about what is the difference this year, the difference is really around the ecosystem. So, you as a startup leader, CEO, for you, what does it take? How can we make sure that if we are here two years from today, there's been meaningful progress made so that people like you, they succeed thanks to the circumstances around them that we strengthen the bonds between the universities, the VCs, the ministers, the bankers, and people like you. So, what would it be for you coming from your vantage point? Well, I mean, I look at that in three dimensions and look at what has it meant for me being here for the last couple of days and how to build on that. On three dimensions, first of all, on the diversity of people that are here, all the way looking at their experiences where they come from, nationalities, professionals in private public sectors, being very generous on their experience, their time, and their connections as well, and making sure to build on that so that we have some measurable outcomes as we come out of here to your point and moving forward. So, that's one dimension. The second dimension is getting closely in touch with decision makers who are under the roof for the past two days, again, very generous in terms of being willing to help, being willing to take the next step, connect us, listen for what we have to say, and actually act upon it. And last but hardly least is being among entrepreneurs who are very passionate, who are accomplished, who are like-minded people who are willing to share their passion, their knowledge, their contacts. Now, grouping all three dimensions together, I think getting something measurable out of it is not as easy. I think each one needs to do it individually. And I was just talking to a fellow and saying that I need to digest what happened for the last two days for a couple of hours or maybe a day to come up with clearly what needs to happen in the next phase before we go on to my day-to-day operational start-up. Thank you. And I'll do a quick round of follow-up, so I'll start with you Adel. If you look at the group of HON100 this year, you could say about 20% of them actually are social entrepreneurs or are impacting society as a whole. Your company is helping blind and visually impaired. How would you explain that? We didn't see that in the group two years ago as much. Is it a trend? Is it an accident? And how do you think? How do start-ups see their role in society? So that's a great question actually. So I think we are in a part of the world where we have so many problems. Many of them are affecting our day-to-day. Whether we like it or not, whether we brand it or not, we are solving social problems because we have so many of them, we face them every single day. It is not a luxury anymore. Her Excellency the Minister referred to the Sustainable Development Goals, the SDGs. We're living it every day. It's our reality. It is not a luxury and nice to have for us to solve those problems. So the way I'm seeing it, we're going after the problems that we have and they just happen to be social because that's our reality. Bob, you in one of the conversations that I've been privy to, you said that we should move from interface to multi-faith, but also you said something around really being practical around the impact of religious leaders or representatives of different faith. So yes, there is the spiritual dimension, but what do you think are some practical ways in which religious leaders, people of multiple faith, leaders of multiple faith can actually move the needle on some of the societal issues? In what ways do you think? Well, let me just give you one example right now. Imam Majid has a little mosque of 30,000 in DC. David Saperstein was the previous ambassador for religious freedom. He's a friend and together we three have been to Cox's Bazaar with the Rohingya refugees. We've brought attention to that. We've met with top leaders in our country about that. And in addition, what we're now doing, we're mobilizing Christians, Muslims and Jews that are doctors and educators to go together. Now in an evangelical perspective, because we're a little bit isolationist, we would never think about doing humanitarian work together. We're gonna do our Christian stuff and you do your Muslim stuff and your Jewish stuff. I think the people of faith have yet begun to dream about what is possible if we hold on to our faith and at the same time learn to work with one another, people of different faith. I say all the time, just disagree.  What's the point of that? Show the value of your faith by the value you bring to the community. And if the only value your faith is bringing is just to yourself and to your tribe, what kind of faith is that? Shouldn't your faith be a blessing to people outside your tribe? So I think humanitarian opportunity, I think economic opportunity, I mean the sky's the limit for what could happen there. Thank you. Noor, I also view you as the representative of Jordan on the panel here. And we've been trying to make that connection between Jordan and the world over the past two days here. What would be, if you were the ambassador of Jordan to the world, what is it that you would wanna communicate to the international community about Jordan? What would be the main things you would want them to know about Jordan? Okay, that's a lot of pressure, thank you, Merck. I think first and foremost is that there is a lot of potential and a lot of talent and will, if I may, I speak on behalf of the youth at least because that's where most of my interactions are, but I know we're very open and happy to collaborate and to listen to the other side and see how we can together reach solutions to the challenges we're facing. So that would be it. I think the ability and will to collaborate. Thank you. Rania, Egypt, huge economy in the region, you have undertaken a lot of reforms over the past few years. Impressive, congratulations. Are you optimistic about the course right now? What are the things we should watch out, particularly when it comes to the economy of Egypt in the years to come? Egypt took very bold reforms in 2016 and really the champion of those reforms have been the Egyptian people who put the country first and really, you know, withstood a lot of the fallout of these tough decisions. I think that the growth rate for Egypt has been higher than the regional averages and we're doing pretty well. There are still a reform agenda, which is very ambitious. Monetary policy, fiscal policy is underway. Structural reforms are what we are working on, whether it's in the civil service, whether it's on different sectors, even when I took over tourism, trying to approach it from a structural aspect so that you have sustainability in everything you do. You don't want to be doing reforms that are very short lived. You want them to have a longer impact and to do that, it requires some heavy lifting. I'm a believer in policy frameworks and policy frameworks need to be transparent and communicated and that's something that I'm trying to do in the sector, just in terms of something that comes out of what we've been discussing the past two days. In the region we have leaders and laggards when it comes to innovation technology, some of the themes that have been discussed. We have a very impressive group of young leaders who are taking policy positions in their countries and I believe that there is a platform for us to come together through the WEF to basically see how different experiences in different countries can be copied elsewhere. There's a wealth of shared experience, there's a wealth of will and commitment and I think we have a chance to capitalize on that and push it forward. Thank you very much. Alain, I don't think I'm... You are from Lebanon originally. You live in Dubai. What we had here at the heart of our conversation as well is how do we help with reconstruction and stabilization of certain economies? Of course, top of mind are economies like Iraq, top of mind is what's happening in Syria. What do you think is the role of the private sector in all that? Is there a role for the private sector? Well, definitely because in reality, governments may fund but the private sector is going to build. So reconstruction I think has been looked at in a truncated way in the past because it has been about providing aid, being in eight packages or different type of aids and actually rebuilding the physical infrastructure. But I think what these countries will need the most or need the most is actually rebuild their economies, rebuild their legal framework, rebuild their judicial system, rebuild their education system. Make sure that they can actually be part of the world that they have missed for the past number of years. So actually you have a generation gap there. You know when you talk about the refugees, I mean the average lifetime of a refugee is 17 years. I'm not sure if people actually, people in the room know that. Refugees on average stays a refugee for 17 years. That's a lot. Now there is a lot of work that's happening in order to support these things and to alleviate the burden of refugees out of countries like Lebanon, like Jordan, Turkey and so on. These are the three countries around Syria that have paid the most, that have been the most generous from that standpoint. But the reality is the private sector has a long way to go in actually making sure that it's engaged and actually bringing solutions. But at the end of the day, the private sector is reasonable and has to see an opportunity and that opportunity cannot come despite I would say the lack of frameworks. So the importance of putting on frame will enable the private sector and then the private sector has to be there and actually be open to take risk and also to reap the fruits of that in the future. Because we should not forget that the private sector role is to actually drive economic growth, create sustained job employment and actually make money. And we should encourage the private sector to make money so they reinvest more in these economies and they continue to grow them. Thank you. Thank you for this panorama view of I think what we've been looking at here at the World Economic Forum over the past two days but I think it's quite a nice 360 of the agenda for the region. I talked at the beginning about not only thinking but also having some action items, something to do as a result of the summits. I'd like to just get a few quick reactions from each of you on what it would be the one thing or more things that you would do out of the summit as a result of the summit. If I could start with you, Anna. Well, I would say two things. One is I'm gonna go back running to Dubai in order to work on the circular economy with the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution with Murat and the team and see how we can contribute into that. So that's number one. Number two, I'm gonna be also doubling down on this idea of actually putting forward an economic vision for the region that should empower the region to actually double or triple its GDP. Thank you. In the spirit of partnerships and collaboration, the idea of having the policymakers who are with the exposure of what the forum stands for, get together and try and put an action plan of how we can basically create synergies and leverage and build on the experiences that we have. Thank you. Okay, I think for us now that we realized importance and urgency of the climate change issue, I will work to make the conversation more relevant for the youth in the region about how we can tackle this issue. Thank you. Vietnam taught me how to think about cities and how the world works and that sort of thing. Working with Muslims taught me how to think about faith. How do you talk about that? From being here, some things, a lot of personal notes I've made is in terms of meshing those two. We're both the society and the faith. How do we do that? And what I'm gonna do in the retreats that we're doing in the U.S. and around the world, how do we push that farther and more? Thank you. Adah? Well, two things. First of all, I'm gonna go back to my team with tons of new ideas, thoughts, and insightful conversations, outcomes, and just brainstorm on what to do next. On the second front, I'm gonna connect or reconnect with a lot of people that have touched base during the past two days on collaborations, potential working together, help, and support. Thank you. So what is the World Economic Forum going to do? Well, I can tell you a lot in the region, as I said at the beginning, we've been present in the region since the 1970s. I mentioned some of the initiatives that we have announced here. Alain mentioned that he's gonna go back and work on the circular economy. We are already at work at the Dubai Future Foundation on the Fourth Industrial Revolution and we'll be opening up new activities you will see soon in other countries of the region. So the Fourth Industrial Revolution is gonna be a big thing for the World Economic Forum in this region, but we will also keep working on re-skilling young people for jobs. This is another thing that we've been hard at work over the past few years, so we'll continue that. In a nutshell, what we will do, we will continue being committed to the Middle East and North Africa through engaging you, our multistakeholder community. So with that, I'd like to thank you all for coming, not only for coming, but also engaging in the dialogue and you've become part of a community or communities and we really look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead. So thank you very much and this closes the summit at the Dead Sea. Thank you.


Alrighty, we got version two here. It's cute. I like it. It's a good edit Actually, my only comment would be see how you have from here on just a little bit of Heritations shrug just little leans and accents in there. I'm kind of missing it at the very beginning if you watch this just that Can have a ticket ticket ticket the energy goes up in the voice. She feels a bit tense Then you might argue I will tense up the head movement and everything But it's there's a slight feeling a of it's all in one axis going up But it ends up being super still with only movement here And I would have a little bit more even if it's just something like this Little bit of up and down with a button with a little bit in the Y in the slight side rotation just a bit and then and then you have a bigger move through there, but it just feels just a bit too Like CG locked and there's some moments where it feels like the head is really not moving whatsoever While this is moving and you might even have when she goes and leans This way It's good that you have movement in here But you could even imagine like she has maybe a slight side shift in a route A little weight adjustment so that this line here would end up being even if it's a little bit to the right But if you look at this and I should probably Change I know Change colors slightly right so if you if you cater in in this you can see some onion skinning How she's totally locked in this is a little bit to the left here, which is good But I wonder at the very beginning it feels Just one axis up and down basically and I would have a little bit of She could you know, she could think about it And then when she started saying this you could kind of almost take a step Not to step back as in like a massive move, but visually it will go a bit more to the right Kind of creating some distance through there. She doesn't want to engage too much Like she's almost embarrassed of just ordering just that and then Actually addressing that's when she you know She takes a bit more control of herself and what she really wants and that's when she would take a little bit more Of a move to the left, which you have a little bit here, but it could be even a bit stronger And I think for this is super peculiar like proper animation, but I like that this is moving That this would be sliding around, but it there's a slight Maybe it's okay. I was wanting maybe like a slight Rotation and a little bit of translating this so it just doesn't feel so glued to this Only also because the voice Is that all like it feels very annoyed and that would be actually like being so annoyed voice wise It's like doesn't really care too much how how plops that plate down That's why there will be a bit movement in here and a bit more in here might just be me It's a slight sound of Brad Bird in there. I like all of that. I think the lip sync is a bit off on this one just a bit I Was that whole beginning here once you hit only it's okay Just the beginning feels like it's missing. Watch out on pig Highline it drops a bit low and this is the one where it's bit one axis turn off this growing here Where she could have a little bit of a bit of an arc and why it may be a bit tilt in the head Just a bit watch out hits that rotation on that head It's a bit harshly here And maybe it's accentuated by that sudden move to the right Right there. Then we have that and you get some changes in the hands That'd be super picky You can see that change in the forearm With no real change in here like it would pivot off of here But the wrist would or the hand would rotate down a bit with a forearm. I feel it here But it feels a bit missing here just because I feel it just looks very IK And I know it's kind of at the bottom and hidden in the slash shop But just want to mention what I'm seeing but it's a fun ending seems up more It's like a tighter cuts than what was the first one That's kind of that. Yeah, I like it Any questions always let me know the email and that is that. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


I ain't even watching Bianca Renee today, and today is another Foundation Friday. Now I apologize for missing my last two Fridays, but I had no foundation to review, so I legit just came back from Walgreens and picked up a couple foundations. So today I was gonna try my very first high-end foundation for you guys, but I was like, you know what, I don't really feel like spending $50 on foundation today, but I still end up spending $50 on foundation today. I was having a sale, I was buy two, get one free, so I ended up getting five foundations, so we are covered for the next couple weeks. But I want to try something new today. Two of these are already like my favorites that I've tried, so let's try the Milani Foundation. This is their Conceal Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer. So it's their color tan number nine, and I have never tried this before. So this foundation is supposed to be a 2-in-1, meaning it's foundation and concealer, and I've got some places that I'd like to conceal, so we're going to be testing that out today. It also is supposed to be medium to full coverage, lightweight, oil-free formula, long-wearing, water-resistant, taker swimming on the first date. We don't see about that. And sweat-proof. Nice. I mean, you could take it to the club and dance the night away. So let's just hop right into it, and let me start applying this foundation to my skin. All right, so let's get started. I've already put moisturizer on my face. I am going to put a little bit of a primer. This one is by Hourglass. I wish I had a Milani primer to keep it all in the family. So I'm going to use a Beauty Blender. I like to apply it right on the Beauty Blender. The consistency is pretty thick, so I do think we will get some nice full coverage. Now I usually use a color corrector to get rid of my dark circles, but for the sake of this video, I want to see how well this is going to conceal on its own. So let's find out. Oh. Oh yeah, this is thick. Now I was nervous to get this one because this was literally the darkest color that my Walgreens had, so I had no other options, but hopefully this one works out okay. On camera, it might look a little too light, but it's actually pretty good. So first impression, I really love the pump on this. It makes it really easy to just apply it straight to my Beauty Blender. I do think that it's getting really good full coverage. This was only one pump and I was able to do my entire face and even get down to my neck, which is really impressive. I am going to grab a little bit more and see how it does with concealing under my eyes a little bit more. Very nice. So although I do love the coverage and I like how easy it went on, the main test for me is how oily I'm going to get in a couple hours. I have very oily skin and this claims to be long lasting, medium to full coverage, but I need to see how long it's actually going to last. So now let me finish my whole face much better if only it was really that easy. So far I think I am looking pretty matte. I'm not really into the dewy shiny look because I can get shiny enough all on my own. So I will let this sit for a couple more hours and I will come back to show you how it does. All right. I am back. It is now eight o'clock. That means this makeup has been on my face for four and a half hours. So far I'm only getting shiny in the areas where I always get shiny. So far, so good. I'm actually on my way to go see a movie right now and I really want to blot my face because I know it'll be perfect, but I'm not going to do it for the sake of the video. You're welcome. So I will come back and we'll see the final results. Alrighty. It is now 11.30, meaning I've had on my makeup for a total of eight hours and this is the final result. So now I'm going to do my favorite part, which is blotting my skin. So we'll see how it would be normally. I probably would not go full day without blotting. So I'm being a little harsh on it right now. But let me take one of my blotting sheets. Once again, if you have oily skin, you need to get some oil-absorbing sheets. These are by Clean and Clear. They're by Walgreens, Brands, CVS, Target, whoever gets them. So I'm going to just push down and remove the oil. So here is all of the oil that I removed. Whoo! So much better. Now I'm back to my matte finish. Now I will say I do think more of the makeup actually came up on the oil blotting sheet more than just the oil. So a little bit of the makeup actually did get removed by doing that. That's not usually the case. But otherwise, my makeup still looks pretty good. All right, concluding thoughts. I love it. This is an amazing drugstore foundation. It definitely gave me full coverage. It didn't really sink into my pores. It doesn't make me feel cakey. It doesn't feel heavy. A little bit did go a long way, so I'm very happy about that. I didn't have to use multiple pumps to get the coverage. I just used one. Now according to their website, CVS and Walgreens, this is about $10. I technically got it for free with my buy two, get one free little deal that Walgreens had going on. CVS has a buy one, get one 50% off deal going on. But at Target, I actually saw online that they're only $6.99. So that's probably where I should have went. But look for this on sale. I definitely recommend it and it worked for me having oily skin. If you have tried this or you own it, please leave me a comment. Let me know what you think and how it works for your skin and let us know what type of skin you have. So that's everything I have to say about the Milani 2-in-1 Foundation Concealer. I love it. I approve it and I will definitely be using this all the time. If you guys want more Foundation Fridays or have some other foundations you want me to try, please leave me a comment and let me know. If you want to be the first to know about what I'm trying next or what my next video is going to be about, make sure you follow me on all social media at nizbioncrenet on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat and you guys will see what I'm using before I even post a video. Please give me a thumbs up and subscribe. I post new Foundation videos on Fridays and I post curler hair videos on Sunday, so I hope to see you all next week. Thanks for watching Bianca Renee today.


Is it really possible to eliminate and crush cancer cells with frequency? Well, listen closely to the incredible story I'm about to share. In 2016, Melanie found herself facing a terrifying reality. She discovered a lump in her left breast, not just any lump, but won the size of two golf balls. Can you imagine the fear, the uncertainty? Melanie was introduced to something out of the ordinary, a rife machine, equipped with a wand and coil. She embarked on a 45-day journey using this device with hope and skepticism dancing in her mind. Fast forward to the end of this period, and there's Melanie, sitting in her doctor's office, heart pounding. Then comes the news that flips her world right side up, the lump has vanished, completely gone. And as if that wasn't miraculous enough, her anemia, another battle she was silently fighting, had also disappeared.


welcome friends so let us take us example and try to solve it now in this question it is given that or it is rather being asked that determine whether x equals to minus half and x equals to 2 by 3 our solution of the equation which equation 6x square minus x minus 2 equals 0 so if you see this is a quadratic equation we are doing quadratic equation so this is a quadratic equation and we have and here if you see this is nothing but a is equal to 6 b equals minus 1 and c is minus 2 right and a general form of a quadratic equation is ax square plus bx plus c this is just a recap this is not required for solving this this question now they're asking if x equals to minus half and x equals to 2 by 3 our solution what is meant by solution so if you plug in the values of x in the given equation both LHS must be equal to RHS so let us see so instead of x we are plugging in minus half so 6 so let us say this is x equals to minus half so it is 6 times minus half whole squared minus minus half minus 2 equals whatever we'll just check so basically if you see wherever there was an x I have deployed minus half wherever there was an x there is minus half now let's simplify so this is nothing but 6 into a minus half square will be 1 upon 4 and then minus minus half is plus half and minus 2 isn't it which is nothing but 3 by 2 so this is 2 times 3 2 times 2 so 3 by 2 plus half minus 2 which is nothing but 2 minus 2 which is 0 which is equal to RHS that means we can declare that x equals to minus half is a solution a solution to the given quadratic equation similarly when x is equal to let us say it is given what is the value of x x is next values 2 upon 3 so 2 upon 3 let's check so wherever let's check LHS LHS is left hand side left hand side 6 into now 2 upon 3 whole squared minus 2 upon 3 and then minus 2 which is equal to if you see this is nothing but 6 times 4 upon 9 minus 2 upon 3 minus 2 so if I cancel 3 3 twice 3 thrice now what is it so LCM will be definitely 3 and you take up in the numerator it will be 2 times 4 so this 2 times 4 is 8 minus 2 and then minus 6 is it which comes out to be 0 again which is equal to RHS that means that means x equals to 2 upon 3 is a solution solution to which equation to equation the given equation was 6x squared minus x minus 2 equals 0 right so 2 2 solutions could be established okay so what do we learn we learn that if you want to check whether a particular value is a given solution so what you need to do is plug in the value in instead of the in place of the variable and try to simplify if LHS matches with RHS then the given value is a solution to the given equation


This is Think Tech Hawaii. Community Matters here. Welcome back to the Cyber Underground. I'm Dave Stevens, your host and here with me today. I'll call her in the network guy, Professor Capulani Community College. Today we're going to talk about something that's a failure in our system. After 14 years of faithfully serving us, WPA2 Wi-Fi protected access is now broken and we don't have a replacement. So let's talk about this with Hal right now. Hal, what do you know? What do I know? What do you know, man? Thank you very much. This is called crack, smell of the cave. Key re-installation attack. Attack, great. So it's always been that if you wanted to crack someone's Wi-Fi network password, you had to lurk around and capture that password when it could get sent around the network and then take it, run it through some kind of password cracker, should take time, go through brute force or dictionary attacks trying to guess words until you're able to essentially guess the right password. With key re-installation attacks, don't need it anymore. You don't even need the password. You can insert your own encryption key. So you control the encryption, you can decrypt whatever you want. Let's back this up for a minute for our viewers who don't really know up to this point what we're talking about. Well, let's just talk about Wi-Fi routers are the central hubs of all Wi-Fi networks and we all trust them. Our smartphones use them, our laptops use them, all our internet of things, all the webcams, everything, they use these Wi-Fi routers and the Wi-Fi routers usually have some selections for encryption. So they give you some security in your username and password when you log into the Wi-Fi network. And you're usually given, I don't know why these still show up, but WEP or the encrypted from way back in the 90s, it's still there. That's been broken forever. TKIP, T-K-I-P is an option, but broken in 2009. So there's still options out there and I don't know why, but WPA2 appeared in 2004 and has been around just as the standard for all this Wi-Fi for 14 years. I had a marriage that didn't last 14 years. So everything comes to an end eventually. You got a refresh, and especially with cybersecurity, we tell everybody so many times over and over again, it's a running game. You got to keep moving the moment you're still for too long, someone's going to find out how to get to you and this is one of them. Actually, WPA2, not a bad standard considering that it held up for 14 years. Yes, truly. Actually, it's a pretty good track record. Solid. But it's just inevitable sooner or later with enough people poking at it, you know, you're going to break anything, give it enough time and resource. So there was a standard came up on the IEEE, which does all the standards pretty much for all these electronics. This is a standard that came out in late 2003, implemented in 2004, I believe. And the thing that we're going to be talking about is actually a gap in the actual procedure of executing this standard. Somebody didn't think, what if this thing happens, what do we do now? And a few like Windows and iOS actually thought, well, it's not on the standard, but we're going to do something about it anyway. It wasn't a perfect solution and you can still break it.  But in Linux and Android, which are the smartphones out there, it's really bad. So you're going to tell us about that, right? How we do this and why it's so bad. Yeah. So these, if you read these papers, this paper, these researchers that discover this, they actually kind of stumbled on that. They were looking at the standard and without getting too technical, there's this handshake that has to occur between the device and the wireless access point where the encryption key is exchanged. And one of the researchers said, gee, I wonder what happens if I just try to keep refreshing that key over and over. And it found out that you can actually, you can decide what the key will be. You can give it a new key and it'll be very happy to accept it and start to use your encryption key. Now with encryption, the way that it works, the key is used to scramble the data so that unauthorized people can't read it. Well, if you have the key, guess what? You can read all of the data. And change it. And actually, yeah, you could actually insert your own, then change things and change messages and pretty much own the network and do anything, almost anything that you might want to do. So I'm logging in on my Wi-Fi to my bank, and the bank hasn't set up good security, right? You could, using this attack, use this to get my username and password for my bank account. I could use this vulnerability to set myself up as a man in the middle.  So everything is going through me. So you just pass it on. You send something to the bank, it comes to me. I look at it. Ooh, that's very interesting. And then I send it out. Pass it on. Send it off to the bank. The bank sends a response back. I get it first. I look at it. That's very interesting. And then I send it back to you. And neither side knows that this man in the middle is lurking there, just looking at everything that's passing by. And the man in the middle, that's a classic attack. That's a classic attack. Everyone wants to be the man in the middle because it's a complete stealth attack. If no one knows you're there, you are completely invisible, yet you get everything you want. And nobody knows they've been attacked, which is the perfect attack. Yeah, if you can get away, so folks, listen to me, you're never going to hear about the best hackers in the world. Just get over it. The best hackers in the world, you'll never know because they don't want to be known. That's why they're the best. And that's how they stay the best. They're invisible, and they're going to stay that way until they make a mistake. And they're not going to brag about what they do. So if they're the man in the middle and they're a good hacker, you never know. And that's perfect. Exactly the success of the man in the middle is not to let anybody know that, yeah, as soon as you know someone, someone is there, you're going to, oh, well, I can't do this. I'm going to shut this down. The whole idea is you just lurk there completely unknown, and you can see, just watch until you see what you're looking for, passwords, or account numbers, or whatever you might. Takes a lot of patience. Yeah, but you can sit, you can collect that whole steam of data. And then search through the data. And search for what you're looking for later. And especially in this day of big data, that's what big data is.  So you could actually do that and use cloud resources to do it. So you wouldn't have to burn your own CPU. You're using the modern world to break what you need to break. So if I'm, we're doing a handshake. And the handshake is about two devices we previously are unaware of each other. And now I have to make you aware of me, step one. You have to respond, yes, I'm here, and I'm aware of you. And now I'm aware of whatever device I'm trying to contact. This is step two. Step three is where I say, here's a unique number and a little bit more information for you out there in the world. It's some MAC address and a couple other things, which we won't go into, but it's the unique identifiers from that computer to scramble up the key and make it harder to break the encryption. I send that to you with my unique number and a sequence number. So you know where in the sequence we are in this handshake. But if somebody intercepts that third step, what happens? What can you do? Every time you send that message with that same sequence number, I accept that key. So you can keep changing my key. You can tell, oh, we're going to use this key now. And so we're using your key. We're using your key. Clearly you can decrypt everything that's being passed. Right. And the reason this works is because the protocol is set up for things like what we call packet loss. But in the real world, no matter where you're sending data, every once in a while, a piece of that data gets dropped. And if the other end doesn't respond that it got it, you resend it. So that's the protocols expecting a resend because of packet loss. It's just a natural occurrence that happens everywhere. And that's one of those keys that people took advantage of. Do you think this is more of an exploit of a gap in procedures or is this an actual hack? No, it's more just leveraging and taking advantage of the procedure itself. This was thought to be the strength of WPA and WPA2 was that unlike WEP, WEP was the old broken protocol that we originally used on Wi-Fi networks. Wireless encryption protocol, WPE, right. And was found to be very, very weak. It used a single encryption key for everybody on the network to share. Oh, the shared secret, but everybody had it, right? WPA, its strength was every device has its own encryption key. So even if we're on the same network, we shouldn't be able to see each other's data. Theoretically, yeah. And these keys are refreshed periodically. You don't keep the same key forever. That's what that unique number is. What would they call a nonce? The refresh is exactly what you're talking about where that message gets sense. Okay, we're going to use this key now. And the wireless device accepts it because, oh yeah, this is what I'm supposed to do. WPA refreshes the key periodically because that's thought to be more secure. And because you broke in, you know the sequence number. So it knows. Oh, this is step three again. And if you've broken that far in, you know what they call a number once or a nonce, which is actually what they call an initialization vector or assault. A unique number that you add to the key of an algorithm to uniquely encrypt data for just that session. So we're talking about session keys. And a session is just as long as we're talking to each other. And the session can end after a length of time or if I go away and break the session. And that's when that refresh can occur. So we're always looking for that refresh. But if I know that nonce or initialization vector, the reuse of the same salt in that encryption algorithm is the weakness. We leave what's called Easter eggs. You can see what's going on in there and break that using crypt analysis. So, but this is so easy. And the tools came out almost as quick. And I'm not going to tell you what the tools are. So I'm not going to be held liable. No, no, no, we're not going there. But this is just kind of pointed. And nobody's really done anything about it. I've okay, tell me if you know, Cisco seems to have patched several devices already. Yeah. And I think one of the Unix, I think maybe it was PSD. Unix or something that, that had passed it. But the others, I'm sure are working feverishly. Feverishly. No, no, I, yeah. Now, this, this patch isn't for the access points. It's for the wireless devices. Every single wireless device, every phone, every tablet, every laptop is going to need to be updated. Because otherwise, though, that we mean vulnerable to this, this type of internet. It's amazing that every single device that we depend on right now for modern life is affected by this, this exploit, for lack of a better word, is this, this crack is going to kill everybody. If you don't watch out, how do we defend? We're all hooked on crack. We're all hooked on crack. Oh my God. Well, I knew that was going to happen eventually. But with this, with how do we protect ourselves? And we only got a couple minutes before or for commercials. So let's entice people to come back after the commercial. We'll ramp up to this. So we're going to talk about ways to protect ourselves, even if this is out there and can break our encryption, the WPA2. But before we talk about that, let's talk about some things you can do as soon as it comes out. If there's a patch, like an update for macOS, an update for Windows, an update for your Android phone. If it says this is the patch WPA2, do it. It's really, really important that you do this. If you don't, this could happen to you. Exactly, exactly. And so, and you should be asking for these patches. I mean, hopefully every operating system is working on it. How, how's your vendor, right? I don't, you know, I'm, you can see I'm a mac user. I use Apple devices. Apple has not fixed this yet. They said it was going to be, and I quote, a couple of weeks. And I thought, that's kind of leisurely considering how many things depend on wireless protocols right now. That's, that's bad iPad, iPhone, iPod. How many iPhones are out there? Oh my lord, right? And they just, they just put out a new one. So they got to, they got to patch that already. Okay, let's go to commercial. Let's entice people. We're gonna tell you about the ways you can protect yourself from this crack attack when we come after this commercial. We'll got to pay some bills. So be right back. Stay safe. Hello, I'm Helen Dora Hayden, the host of Voice of the Veteran. Seen here live every Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii. As a fellow veteran and veterans advocate with over 23 years experience serving veterans, active duty and family members, I hope to educate everyone on benefits and accessibility services by inviting professionals in the field to appear on the show. In addition, I hope to plan on inviting guest veterans to talk about their concerns and possibly offer solutions. As we navigate and work together through issues, we can all benefit. Please join me every Thursday at 1 p.m. for the Voice of the Veteran. Aloha. Aloha. My name is Mark Shklav. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea. Law Across the Sea comes on every other Monday at 11 a.m. Please join us. I like to bring in guests that talk about all types of things that come across the sea to Hawaii, not just law, love, people, ideas, history. Please join us for Law Across the Sea. Aloha. Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed the commercial. Now we're going to go into some safety protocols, but just to warm you up, this is the WPA2 crack spelled with a K and it's a break in the encryption protocol that allows people to reset the encryption key and play man in the middle and get all your data, replay your data, and even change your data so they can fool people into believing that the hacker is actually you. Very dangerous. Every Wi-Fi system out there right now uses WPA2 in personal and both enterprise editions. How's with me here? How the network guy. Network guy today. Let's talk about just to warm people up again. We were talking about what's almost safe and what really isn't safe. When we talk about the way WPA2 is implemented is the problem because the actual WPA2 is a good process, but if you implement it incorrectly, there's this egregious error. Now Windows and iOS, that's from Mac, they implemented this standard WPA2, but they varied from the standard in that they said, well, in this certain step where this exploit happens, we're going to do it a different way. And because they did it a different way, they're more secure than Linux, unfortunately, a little bit more secure. And of course, Android. And Linux and Android are wide open to this because of? It makes sense because open source, they're going to follow the standards meticulously. Oh, that's true. They follow the standards. And so they got, unfortunately, the biggest exposure to this because the standard itself is broken. So on Linux-based devices, Android-based devices, you can actually, this can be used to set your encryption key to zero. Just basically zero it out. Something tells me that wouldn't actually be an encryption key because when you multiply by zero, you get zero. Yeah, so you basically get zero for encryption key. So it's basically basically disabled. You just nulled it out. It's void, right? That just doesn't sound like a good solution at all. So now I get a look for all my Linux machines. Now I get a look for this fix. And for Android, especially version six and beyond, Linux and Android in those versions were using, what do they call it, WPA supplicant, which I today have not heard of until just this morning. Yeah, it's a library, right? That day. It's just one of the code libraries that helps them work with this. Yeah. And 2.4 and beyond was the version of this supplicant that needs to be upgraded. So if you're looking for an upgrade for Linux and your Android phone, the WPA underscore supplicant 2.4 or greater is affected. So you need to upgrade whatever you had to something they're coming out with to fix it. And that sounds so weird. Such a weird word, supplicant. We should probably explain that. In the terms of WPA in this four-way handshake, supplicant is what the wireless device is called when it's contacting the access point, setting up the encryption and setting up the network. The other party in the handshake. Yeah. It's not a Game of Thrones thing. It's the supplicant and the authenticator. Right. The access point is the authenticator and the wireless device is the supplicant. So we got to talk about how to protect ourselves now. And VPN is a big topic that everyone's going on right now. The good news is that if you're using some additional type of encryption, if you're not just relying on the wireless networks encryption, then you would certainly be much, much better off. You'd be fairly safe. So as long as you make sure that the websites that you're connecting to use strong SSL based encryption, then you should be okay. So for people out there listening, that means you're looking for HTTPS in the URL and your browser. HTTPS as opposed to HTTP. Right. And they use secure sockets layer or SSL. And they also add a kind of an addition to that TLS or Transport Layer Security 1.2, which is the latest. And that adds even more security like new algorithms like AES and stuff like that. So you can do that and encrypt the data going back and forth. So even if they break this and reset your key, the data that's between the two people, you and that, is still encrypted. This encryption, the SSL encryption is at a whole different layer. It's at a much higher layer. The encryption that's being broken is at the network level. It's at a very low level. The SSL encryption is at a much higher layer. So it will still offer you some protection even if the network level encryption turns out to be broken. And usually, if you're using an HTTPS site, there's some kind of a lock or some kind of icon that will appear in the browser to tell you that yes, this is a secure connection as opposed to just being a wide open plain. And there's one in the middle too. You can get the green lock or whatever the indicator. There's different ones. And the red one says no, the security's invalid. But there's an in between, which you can get a lot of times. A yellow one. The one with the little yellow triangle, which usually indicates something really simple like the pictures are coming from another folder on the website. It's not in the secured zone of the website, but they're putting it on your web page. But those pictures are not actually encrypted. Everything else, the packets you're getting are encrypted. So it's better than nothing. You're not going to kill yourself with it. It helps. Even better than that would be to use a virtual private network. If you're using a virtual private network, then you've got complete end-to-end encryption of your data. And again, this is at a much higher level. So even if the network level encryption is vulnerable, you'll still have a layer of protection if you're using a VPN. Tell me if you agree with me on this one. I need to use a VPN. I need to know who I can trust. Because if I'm going to that VPN, and from then I go to all my other sites, everything I do is going through that VPN provider. And that VPN theoretically could see everything I'm doing. Just like an attacker. It's the trust model. Every trust model, you have to trust the highest authority. It's like the certificate authorities. If you don't trust them, then none of the certificates they issue can be trusted. At some point, you have to just trust whoever's at the top of that chain. So what I would recommend is do some research, do some googling. There are, I found a lot of sites out there that will rate different VPN providers. And list the advantages, disadvantages of each one. Look for one that gets really good reviews that people have been using for a long time and trust and are happy with. And you may have to pay a little bit of a subscription fee to get into a good one. But you usually get what you pay for. And if it saves you having identity theft in your bank account, it's well worth a small subscription fee. Yeah, really, five bucks a month or whatever they charge, whatever. I think Norden has one. The ones that I wouldn't trust anything by Equifax, if they came out with a VPN, I think I might rethink that. Unfortunately, some of the organizations in my federal government, I think it's just a virtual network. There's no privacy. And by the way, folks, if you haven't already got there and locked, freeze your credit records in all of the three major credit organizations, go through that process. It might cost you a couple of dollars. However, it's going to be tremendously beneficial in the long run, not to have your identity stolen. You just want to keep yourself safe. So go freeze your credit records. And then when you go to websites, look for the HTTPS. Is that lock? When you see that green lock or whatever your browser says that's a good certificate, you can use that site. If you don't see that lock, by no means put anything valuable information-wise in a browser at that point. You don't want in your records, you don't want a username and password. And I've seen this on a lot of websites. Unfortunately, there's a lag in knowledge about this stuff with web developers. So that when they make login pages, I've actually seen the login pages to a website, HTTP. You're entering your username and password. And when you click submit, then you go to the secure site. But in the meantime, anybody using Wireshark, sitting at Starbucks with you, they're going to know you're using username and password because you just put that in the open. And that's a poor implementation.  Look for that first. Look for that green lock before you even put in your username and password. Really good advice. I write the emails, then I put who I'm going to send it to, so I don't click send before it's... Accidentally. Accidentally, because I've done that. Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Oh, that's bad. I've actually CC'd some people that I shouldn't have CC'd as. It's pretty bad. By the way, email also not encrypted. Yes, email is not a secure... Wide open. So be careful what you put in. There's an organization here in the islands that encrypts emails. Powbox, P-A-U, Box. And it's going national. They're a really great provider. And I think I'm going to be signing up with them pretty soon. And it's relatively inexpensive. And it's one of those things like a VPN. It's well worth it. Now you and I, we work for UH University of Hawaii, so we get the VPN for free. There's some benefits to being a teacher. It's kind of cool. But other people have to pay for this stuff. And you just got to make your own decision. Like you said, it's a trust model. Who do you trust? And speaking of trust, let's take a quick tour into the Netherlands really quick. You just came up with a story that they took a very close look at Windows 10. And we knew this was happening over here, but they're really mad about it. The Dutch Protection Authority, the DPA, the DPA actually exists. And they took a look at Windows and they found that they were, of course, collecting data and shipping it off to Windows. And Windows, I think, uses this to make itself better. That's what they say. We're making this a better system. But the laws in the Netherlands say you have to tell the user what their data is being used for and you have to give them an option not to send that data. And they're doing neither one of those. And so the Dutch Protection Authority is saying either you change or you're not going to do business in this country. And the new rules throughout Europe are coming out very soon to be strictly enforced and include provisions that are very much like this one. But we in this country signed on to the Patriot Act in 2002. And I advise everyone, go read that. I know it's legislation. It's hard to read. But if you read that, you would not have been surprised by what Verizon was doing that Snowden told us they were doing. You would have just said, yeah, I know that was law. Most of those provisions, by the way, expired. We were talking about that. But some of them didn't. So they're still out there. So our data can be collected without our consent in this country, which is kind of a scary thing. And in some cases, it has to be. It's not just that it can be. Those telecom companies are required to collect that information. And then it could be gone through at any time. Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen. And more good news from the Cyber Underground. Thanks for tuning in. See you next week. Until then, stay safe.


Good loving Oh, I oh I Oh, I I want to keep you some good. Good loving Oh, I oh Oh, I want to give you some good. Good loving All right, so the first thing that we're gonna do is we just go on like we just go on Crank up on our hi hats You feel me cuz like You can never have enough hi hats you feel me like You feel me like when it come to hi hats You can never have enough higgity hi hats You feel me like Then we're gonna throw a couple kick kick drums on there Maybe a couple little You see we just doing we're just doing random dude Really, there's really there's no Like we really have no clue what we're doing right now.  I gotta at least use the plug-in All right, come on. I can't just be You feel me? I gotta at least take advantage of what I'm using So I guess we're gonna cook up with Artura today All right, so look first we're gonna do a little pattern right just to keep us just to keep us cranking Okay, so let's Let's just throw some little Let's throw some little claps claps right there like that And what this is gonna do is give us a little bit of Give us a little bit of a little bit of Hey, hey, let's crank up the volume or I mean the tempo. Let's go to about 153 I don't know sounds like a good number. So I'm gonna show you guys a trick with the hats, right? All right, you can take the hat and go like this and make it lead up into the clap watch Uh-huh. Hi, you feel me? That was fire. All right now. Let's put a kick drum at the beginning. Oh Hey, that's fire.  All right, let's add a little open hi-hat To kind of kind of give us a little bit of You feel me? I woke up in the morning Yeah Tired I was young it Yeah, the beat it was banging. Yeah. All right y'all my bad Let's get back to business. All right So we're about to open up our tour real quick and I'm gonna just teach y'all how to do just a real quick melody I'm gonna teach y'all some real quick music theory real quick. Okay, so I'm not a genius with music theory, but I'm gonna teach Oh Hickey now, dog. I don't even got my hard drive. I can't even use my good plug in by By all right, so I guess what what we gonna do we like I normally don't do this But we gonna go FL studio stock plug in Okay, so this is citrus if you guys are using FL studio stock citrus Let's open up a pad Dark heaven. Let's check it out. You feel me? Let's check him out. So what we'll do is we'll go to What's called? Well first, let's start this pattern right here Turn this on song. So now it's gonna play the playlist and then uh, we gonna create another pattern pattern number two that's gonna be our That's gonna be our melody So let's go over here Click on our piano row and So like if you guys notice on this screen you see how some of the lines are white and then some of them are darker So if the line is white, that means They're all in the same scale.  So right now we're in D sharp minor So what we'll do first right is we'll create a triad and a triad is when you just skip Everyone so not the dark ones. You just skip the white ones So now that's a chord That's a chord right there y'all that's uh All right, so we're gonna change this sound at first because we want like something that has a quicker attack That that has a really slow attack So it like takes a while to hit so we're just gonna put like a plain um A plain key On here Let's try core cp. All right, let's go Okay, so now that we have this triad chord what we're gonna do is we're gonna create our bass line from this chord So we'll take this one and we'll move it down to octave and then we'll take this one And we'll move it down to octave So this right here could be our bass line Watch how you feel me though Okay, so now what we'll do is we'll hit control a and control c and control v and that will copy and paste everything And we'll move it up octave There might be an easier shortcut to do that, but that's just how I do it. Okay, so now let's create the chords again Okay, so that's the same chord that we created down there and now we're gonna create it With this one remember you you just skip every one right now. I'm gonna show you guys another trick the second No in the chord. That's the third And then the third note is the fifth So you can always take the third and you can move it up an octave and it will open up the chord a little bit So now let's do it with this one too And this one oh be making extraordinary. Okay, so now another thing that we can do is um We can also create an another octave right here to kind of Give it more flavor See and then now let's create an octave on this uh This one maybe So you feel me? Okay, so now Let's create a little bit of a melodic vibe, right? Okay, so Basically what you want to do with this Is you want to take the third? So the third is this one right here. Boom. You want to start the melody right here? And then you want it to go down down to This one right so We and then just stay in the white notes So we could be like this right here You know me All right, and it's just really all right. Let's take this out And then now we're going to take it from this third back up To here and then on this one we'll take it like Maybe some okay, so now What we about to do what we about to do in here is Like of course these stock fruity loop sounds they sound like kind of cheesy for real, but um, you can go in here and you can add different effects and stuff But I really don't know how so like you could probably get real crazy in here But like what I would do is I would just take take the sound And then go over to the uh mixer hit control l and it will link it And then you can throw like some uh So some effects on it that way All right, so now that we have our main little melody what we'll do is we'll go down here To our base uh bass notes like this Control c copy them And then we will add another sound We'll just do citrus again go to our piano paste paste paste the notes And then we'll add a bass Bro, I'm so cold with this shit, uh To be platinum Gotta juice up real quick on the coffee And that y'all is how you make a beat in five minutes Or a loop should I say And then of course you can get like You can get a little bit, you know You can go through the whole process add the add the drops and the switches and add more melodics and Stuff in the background, but you know A bit ain't got time for that today. I got to get back to work y'all. I just coming on here hanging out for a minute Taking a little break, you know me Maybe next time we'll go a little bit more in depth Part two tomorrow, I'll pick up on this beat and uh, we'll we'll add some more instruments add some effects Add some sound effects add some samples and stuff. Maybe add a little vocal sample kind of turning down or turning them up a little bit So we'll save this and then tomorrow we'll come back on here mess around a little bit more all right y'all Y'all have a good day. I'll see y'all tonight on the stream. I gotta get back to work Ha ha DJ makes drink. What up? 320s AP. What up?


The most important thing you want when you're building a fall out-of-wear collection is to know that you've got something appropriate to wear in any situation. I mean, obviously the most important thing you want is to be warm, but stick with me. If you only have a coat for your formal clothes, that's not going to look right if you try to wear it with a casual outfit. And if you've only got a casual coat, that's definitely not going to look right if you're more dressed up. That's why what you really want to have is options, and options that are going to work in a range of styles, from casual to dressed up, and everything in between. I've put together five pieces that I think represent the perfect fall outerwear capsule wardrobe. I'll tell you what those are and show you how you can style them right after this. I'm Brian Sakawa. This is He Spoke Style. Advice and inspiration to help you dress well, develop your personal style, and be more confident. Now, all of the outerwear pieces I'm going to be featuring in this video are by Lestrange London, today's video sponsor. You know, when the brand approached me to work together, I started scrolling on the website and I knew immediately that, one, this was going to be a great fit for my own personal style, and two, that this was a brand I think you should know about if you haven't heard of them already. Lestrange London, luxury menswear brand from London, and what I love most about them is that they're focused on doing more with less. So, versatility, one of the key parts of what they're all about. Basically, have less stuff, do more with it in a variety of situations, which sounds a lot like what I talk about all the time here on the channel. Their entire collection, in addition to being incredibly versatile, is focused on quality and uses only renewable and recycled materials, so they're able to reduce their impact on the environment. The fit, as you'll see shortly, is outstanding, and if you'd like to check out any of the pieces I'm featuring in this video, I've got links down below in the description. All right, so now let's jump in and take a look at my five must-have outerwear pieces for fall. Our first piece here is an all-time classic, a lightweight Macintosh. They call this the Modular Mac. It's made from a mix of organic cotton and recycled nylon. It's water repellent with a PFC-free finish, which means that no environmentally damaging chemicals were used in the process of creating it. The best thing about a Mac and what makes it so easy to style is just how simple and straightforward it is. This one has a zip up front with snap closures, which gives it just a really clean look. Two outer pockets, an inner pocket on the right, and we have another inner pocket with a zip closure. A lightweight Mac like this should be a staple of your business casual wardrobe, as well as more dressed-up office attire. Here we've got a really simple business casual look. Striped shirt, navy cotton pants, mid-brown derbies, belt, Vacheron traditionelle on the wrist. Pretty much about as simple and classic as you can get. You know, when I think about business casual, I always feel like it needs to have a little bit of sportiness to it. Easy way to do that is to add in a little pattern here. That's what the striped shirt, which in addition to being sporty, helps add some visual contrast to the solid coat and trousers. Now, with just a few tweaks, we can smarten this look up and dress it up a little more. First, adding a striped tie. You can pair similar patterns as long as the scale of the patterns are different. Second, throwing on a sport coat with a mini houndstooth or puppy-tooth pattern. Third, swapping out the derbies for a pair of oxfords. And just like that, with a few small changes, we go from business casual to something slightly more professional. And even though this look is more dressed up, you can still see that the Mac is the perfect finishing touch. So, this next piece here is one of my favorite pieces of outerwear for fall, and that is a quilted vest. It's got a zip up front, two outside pockets, one inner pocket. It's made with 100% recycled polyester. It's extremely lightweight, but it will keep you warm. And it's not very bulky, which is what you want, because in addition to being a great standalone piece of outerwear, it also works extremely well as a layering piece. Now, just to drive home how easily these pieces can move throughout your wardrobe and really change the whole vibe of an outfit. I'm going to start with the same foundation as the last two looks. So, striped shirt, navy cotton pants, but changing up the footwear to some suede pettilovers and, of course, suede belt to match. Over that, I'm adding the vest, and we've got another classic and slightly sporty look. And although everything here is fairly monochromatic, there are a few elements, subtle elements that add a little flavor. Of course, the stripe of the shirt is the most striking from a distance, but then the quilting of the jacket provides some texture and, likewise, the suede from the loafers. I mentioned that a vest is a great layering piece as well. And here, we're going to layer it up and smarten it up with the addition of a tie as well as the Mac. This particular look is a great example of how these first two outerwear pieces can work together in addition to being extremely versatile individually. I like how the layered vest adds some sportiness here, even though this is a more professional kind of look. I think it's a good match, particularly with the tie, since it does have a bit more of a preppy feel to it. Quilted vest is great for casual styles as well. Here, I've got it styled with a tan turtleneck, some medium blue jeans, a pair of Chelsea boots, speedy on the wrist, and some classic Clubmaster sunglasses. For me, turtleneck plus jeans plus quilted vest always equals a great fall outfit. It's got a little bit of a rugged, outdoorsy feel, but also some sophistication via the turtleneck and the Chelsea's. Great for a weekend brunch or taking a walk to look at the beautiful leaves. Keeping things casual here with the next item, an olive green work shirt known as the 24 Overshirt. It's made with a thicker stretch cotton, which is 100% organic. It's got a snap up front, snaps on the cuff, a single breast pocket, and two side pockets. It's extremely functional, can be worn either as a shirt or a jacket, though personally, I prefer it as the latter. Which is exactly how I'm styling it here. Light wash jeans, a classic athletic sweatshirt, oxblood boots, and Arabic dial Seiko 5 on the wrist. For any Overshirt like this, I do look for one that is a little roomier, so I am able to layer it over a sweatshirt like this or a thicker sweater. And I typically wear this if I'm doing workout in the yard or something, so the roomier fit gives me the freedom of movement that I want and just keeps it more comfortable in general. Next, still keeping a bit of that rugged vibe, but prepping it up just slightly. Just a plain white t-shirt underneath, and then some suede penny loafers, along with some cream colored socks for a very, very little nod to Ivy style.  And a pair of suede loafers is an easy tweak to make. I think it looks more considered, maybe a little more quote-unquote advanced, and an interesting contrast with the ruggedness of the Overshirt. Must have fall outerwear piece number four is a half zip sweater. This one right here is made with 100% extra fine Reno wool. Now, that description of the fabric might make it seem like this, you know, wouldn't be substantial enough as a piece of outerwear, but this is thicker than what you would think of as a typical layering sweater, and definitely has a good amount of heft to keep you warm. Styling-wise, it's quite simple. Of course, there's zipper right here, and the collar has a really nice piping detail around the edge. I consider the half zip sweater to be one of those essential pieces when it comes to dressy casual and business casual attire.  Super simple and classic look that does have a sporty feel to it thanks to the zipper. One other thing to point out that I really love about this particular sweater is the collar. A lot of half sips have a more stand-up collar, but I prefer the styling feel of the turndown collar here. For our fifth piece of outerwear, we have the all-time classic casual staple, the hoodie. But this hoodie is different from any other hoodie you've probably seen before. It's made with super soft organic cotton, but it really does feel much more like a jacket. Part of the reason is that it's lined, so not only are you getting some extra warmth, but you've also got two inside pockets which are very practical. And of course it's got the two outer pockets as well as a breast pocket, which I think is a really nice styling detail and practical as well. So here is a really classic casual hoodie outfit idea that is so easy to throw together. Just white t-shirt, light wash jeans, white sneakers, but keeping it a little more interesting on the wrist with my Hoyer Carrera Blue Dreamer. So although this is a hoodie, it doesn't really wear like one. Because it is lined, it's got a little more structure and heft, and the addition of the breast pocket I think helps elevate it as well. Definitely feels more grown up and luxurious than your regular old run-of-the-mill hoodie. One thing I want to note about this particular piece from Lestrange is that it is a little more form-fitting. I'm wearing a size medium here, which is the size I got in everything else, and it does have a little bit of a slimmer profile to it. This is the large, and you can see I have some more room, though it is a bit longer. So if I was going to keep this one, I would just roll up and tuck under the bottom whenever I wore it. So the idea of doing more with less is an idea that I think is great to embrace when you're building your wardrobe or any part of it, like your outerwear collection, for example. Now, if you've been thinking about completely revamping your wardrobe or something truly versatile from the ground up but aren't totally sure where to start, check out that video I've got linked right over there because I made it just for someone like you. I take you through the 25 basic items you need to have to have you covered from casual to dressed up along with many outfit ideas to illustrate just how versatile it is.
