Shaper 1000 here and I got Mickey 1000. Today we're going to be trying this these. Slim Jim, Pork Rinds, Chicharones. This is the hall wild barbecue flavor. I did not bring my glasses out. So let me put this up here for you in case you want to pause and read that. I can't save your ceiling or not. She wanted to get my glasses. Okay so it says new. Well these are not new guys. Well maybe the hog wild barbecues new. But I know they had a what was that other one screaming what the screaming something. It was two years old. We brought up a video and it was the video was two years old. But I think the hog wild barbecue was at least a year on that one video. Yeah. So they're not new but they're new to me. These are two ounces 57 grams two ounces. So I didn't do an intro again did I? No. What was these $1.89? Yeah. Where'd you get them? Wendixie. Wendixie. I guess you can get them at Walmart because that one person got them at Walmart. Right. So we was watching the videos figure out how to pronounce chicharrones.    It says rip here. So we're going to rip here. It says rip here. Can you guys do that? I'm ripping here. This got false advertising all over. It's not new. It says rip here. You can't rip it. Okay. So she got these for me tonight to try. Grab you one of that, Monk. So I will apologize ahead of time for the crunching noises that she's about to make. I knew. So it smells good. Yeah it's a pork rind. They do smell. They don't really smell like Slim Jims. No.  Yeah. Very good. Nice flavor. Tastes nothing like Slim Jims. No. And to me they're not hot. Well these aren't supposed to be. They're hog wild barbecue. These are not those squirts and screaming things. These are hog wild barbecue. You can taste the barbecue flavor. You're good. I like them. They're fine. They get a two thumbs up from me. Yeah. I'll give it a I'll give it a four out of five. You give it. Probably lower three three. I'll give it a three. Three out of five. Yeah. They're good. Two thumbs up. Four out of five. It's a pork rind. It's a very good pork rind though. I think. But as far as it tastes nothing. I don't think it's supposed to taste like. I don't know if it's supposed to taste like Slim Jims. It could be a misconception there. It says crunch into a Slim Jim. The Slim Jim may not it may not supposed to taste like a Slim Jim. It could just be because it's made by Slim Jim. Right. So keep that in mind. So no it tastes nothing like Slim Jim. I don't think it's supposed to. I think it's supposed to taste like hog wild barbecue season pork rinds. And they do and they are good. They're not real hard. Like sometimes you bite into them and it's like biting into a rock. These are nice. I like them. They are $1.89. That's almost two bucks. So it's a dollar an ounce. Almost. Almost a dollar an ounce. You know we can buy a big bag of pork rinds for $1.40. You know big party bags. Right. Yeah this is a late night video. She was wide awake. So I was like let's do this. I thought it was when we started it was I thought it was 15 minutes after one or 17 minutes after one. She said it's not 17 minutes after well now it's 23 minutes after. But it's after two not one. So it is late. Yeah but I like them. If you like Slim Jim go ahead and support them. They are fine. Like I said they don't taste like Slim Jim but I don't think they're supposed to. I think that's just their name. Slim Jim is the company that makes them. Right. I mean they're good. I'd probably eat them again. I just think they're a little pricey. Almost a dollar an ounce. Yeah. Pay that in gasoline. You see what I'm saying. So you know almost a dollar an ounce. This is a 12 ounce can of Coke. That would be almost 12 bucks for that. So when you look at it that way. Yeah. Of course that's a fluid ounce. But still when you look at it that way. That's pretty expensive. And I think the flavor's there but I don't think it's as good as others I've had for pork grinds. Yeah. Yeah. These aren't hot but they're not meant to be. No. No. I'm not talking about these meat. No. I'm telling them. Yeah. I'm telling them. These are not hot but they're not meant to be. They're hog wild barbecue. So they're a barbecue flavor. And you can taste the barbecue. They're fine. But I had other pork grinds that were barbecue that have better flavor for the barbecue. Here's that one. Then this one. This one here most squealing hot. Yeah. There's the other squealing hot but they're not new. But they're new to me because I haven't had them. There was another one at Wendick's Inn. It was Chipotle and it was a pork grind. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to try that one. I won't get it for you. Yeah. You want to try that one Chipotle? Yeah. So we're going to be coloring Easter eggs Saturday. So I haven't got much done all all day and week. When Betty's back is out. When I work on the toilet in the morning and get the head off of it but strong boss here said no. No. You can't do it too soon because he'll be right back in the bed again. He's just moving around now and that ain't much a whole lot. I still have a steep bit. I've been making videos. No. Well you've been making videos, yeah. You've been in a lot of pain. I'll do an update. I missed last weekend but there's other things going on. Update on the bonsai trees. Yeah. So we've got an update coming on that. I'll do that this weekend. Easter weekend so if you celebrate it at Easter if not have a great weekend anyway. Yeah. But yeah. So we'll do some things. Oh gotta give away coming up. I'll mention that this weekend. She's got one too. But unfortunately as of at the time of this filming she forgot what she was going to give away. I forgot too because she told me just the other day that's a great idea. You should do that. And I said what was it you was going to give away? She forgot and I forgot it's somewhere over there because I remember one. I should give away that and that's where it goes. I'll remember sooner or later. I'll be giving away a watch. Okay. Yeah. I'll give away that watch. Oh. It's just a cheap watch. It's a knock off of something but works fine. It's brand new. It's never been used so I mean it looks nice. Somebody might get some use out of it. Yeah. So anyway again I will give it four out of five two thumbs up. She gives it a three out of five two thumbs up. Yeah. Yeah because they're good. So we're going to munch on these and and watch some YouTube videos because we support you guys as well. Right. Yeah. Watch them all the time. Yes we do. And with that being said I'm going to say she barely met the man a legend. I'm out for now. Do you have anything you want to add celebrate? Rant. Rant. I like to rant but I can't so. And no. Don't want to plug your channel. You don't. You know what that means. You're doing it for me. Visit her channel which is It's monkey 1000. Tell them. I am. You're looking at me. Because you're looking at me. She gets hilarious when it's late and she's wide awake. It's hilarious sometimes around here. No. It's funny. We'll see you guys on the next one. Thanks for watching.  Monkey says shampoos. Now y'all. Bye.


Y'all don't even understand Y'all don't have no earthly idea Y'all have no earthly idea. So you can piss in here. You just can't flush it Now we live I mean we alive, but we live straight. I mean you straight.  Come on You got 304 or lowest It's always one nigga on the cover look in the opposite way So what get this get now you I get this you gotta go back to look the opposite way like you just did Let's see how I get this I'm gonna look that way.    It's too many cameras in this whole man. These all look Big photo one two three Now for sure four times South show man, like I told those on the phone today.  That's wrong. Everybody is This nigga got rich in six months. Shout out to my CEO Shit show man.   It's black history month. How fast black history month?  No, I still fall face.   This was one of them.    I ain't like that's what I was about to ask you It's the whole group of old white people that make tiktoks.  We was one older lady.  I was like damn That's crazy Even it cuz she did even if she don't really listen to me. I know she took our time just to do that That was another stream.   Have man come over.  Yeah, you definitely you definitely paint pictures, bro. Let me ask you this Did this video not too long ago chopper town. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you put a hundred and some choppers in there They were really props. No Real deal props real deal props literally though like literally we was a la we went to a prop store, right? Creative like that you feel me I would have went and put four real ones in there No, you better. Oh, yeah, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Got that one. Exactly.  Yeah, like them was all props round. Which one of them Paul brothers you had was a Jacob Logan Jake Jay. He was in the video. Hey, Paul. That was uh, that was really we was the LA We were just shooting back-to-back.  I think I just seen the niggas say he really about to lock in with Mayweather What Jay Paul said he bought the lock in with Mayweather ain't yeah, come on.   I got a Nate. Nate. Why we do Nate like that. No I don't black history month.  No, not not my nigga Nate.   He's sat in the corner. Loose He's sat in the corner. You know, you don't give me the vibes of sitting the corner tight nigga You kind of agree with it. He sat in the corner break. He keep trying to go up on the end Yeah, he gotta take something I mean, I think he's still trying to get his life back together.  I didn't really I ain't seen over like when new ball did it back in the day But he was just a long nigga that nigga was just reaching it Yeah, but when they went in there and got see they wouldn't buck they was fighting. Oh fire.  What about North Carolina been on the ass I remember y'all was under the radar for a while under the radar breath so hard to make something shake out there Why you think that is though? I know a lot of people. I know I know it is but it's just like even now Even now man, I'm gonna try to got down but it's then they hand like And it ain't like my foot be looking for a handout But you you see how man, bro, baby been working his ass off for a long time Oh, yeah, a long long long long long time probably longer than a lot of rap Shit just cuz like I say he was working for a long time and when I when I got down first started I probably was doing it like five years Right, but I started like right after high school. I know he probably didn't catch on though till like I'll turn like Probably yeah, I'll turn 20 for sure for sure like probably two to three years after high school He caught on to me, but he didn't hit me up. He liked my video I'm like on somebody Instagram. They hit me up like boy. I Hit him up though. Come here.  Yeah, never wrong.   What's the strangest little city you went to perform? I would say like I don't know it and I wouldn't even want to put them out there like that.    I don't been the Wilson I don't been on where else we done been we done been there you go Man, we're all in it. They know about rockin.  I'm bringing 30 Like a minute ago Look at this look at her I just broke up. She already twerking on my home But I told you not to vote with that girl that smoke no longer I'm mad Come in here before a certain point that's how old this building is and they said they got a mole downstairs in the basement They say six ghosts in this motherfucker. I'm like, well, wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait Yep, that's the first thing the white man case. Hey guys, welcome to Shreveport. This is a very unique building here, man That's what he's doing. He walking around feeling the energy. There's some activity going on right in this area I Can feel the spirit of Elizabeth Jackson? What are the original Titanic survivors?  It's a lot of activity along the rail For real, that's how the white man came up. He was like, yeah, there's six ghosts We've got documented here in this building man. Welcome.  Thank you. My nigga said no Don't go. Do they get naked in Shreveport? Shit Shit, it's the women in here that are getting naked for the right amount of money So as you said strip clubs, I saw one over there like I get that little money And that's that's what really make the spot Making everybody just as hype as me, right and that's why you were ready When your shit hit the big state a lot of motherfuckers don't really Be ready. Do they local circuit?    It could have been people faith.  They know me just as well like Toronto like places like that. I'm That motherfucker like saying four times.  Let me know like oh, yeah They got something going on. So I don't know about it.   I told you every time I go Germany, bro the most The most that we do we good. No, I say no event And it's scarce nasty food.    No, I drove to another part of Germany We were in Germany and the nigga you drove from where to that. I don't know. It's German It was a German Fluent in Germany. Yeah, we flew to Germany.  We got there safely.  We went to Memphis Drive on the stock car.   I'm gonna put in the other hotel On the odds for our six-month six. Yeah, I did I really I really didn't know exactly what's going on with it.  He ain't sick.  I mean it wasn't mine Supposed to come there.  They took it like it wasn't nicks.    That was a good Put the Yeah, I put the in It was while look while the when I got there People say that no y'all brought that shit to life I think they brought the right people in there Right time right time You ain't get to do it Shit, I might be pulling up with you I Got rich in Don't let me go This crash I go crazy on them folks No, bro They probably gonna bring it back man But you know the whole thing about why the now is they don't they really in tune with who really watched The show they just pitch it to who they want to watch the show and they don't understand it It's hard as they try man. It's a black-ass show and the hood love it Yeah, and what whoever they try to sell it to and the things that they trying to do to appeal to that audience They gonna watch it anyway, but the core come on.   I don't know what level of the matrix I think I'm gonna see somebody post that was on Florida everybody.   I took two of them bitches back to back.  So you was able to steal No, I mean we can't do like no tour we I don't know about how I think we're supposed to be Opening back up though like March for like hard ticket sales, but we don't really do we would been stopped doing club shows You feel me hell.  No, we still take a club for sure.  I'm man. It's Bruh, the ship club is four hours from where I live.  It's using the strip club Yeah, using the country strip club. Yeah, it's females from where I stay I mean not for my table while I'm in there like dancing.     That's why he was there.  That's all Hey, man, you be picking some cold as beef for sure I just I go that's all I like I don't really have a process. It's dead is I sit around Listen the beats From the first one that all you put me. That's just it Do you know a hit when you hear it or you think you know you make the hit? I Feel like I do I feel like I do I feel like anything I'll put it up. I Consider it. Yeah, it's that Then it might take a minute for them to catch on I don't care But it's that if I put it out if I'm in a studio on corn some and I feel like the beat or what my vibe It's not that I'm gonna stop it like oh, yeah next one.  Let me think welcome back to the 85 If anything I would really say my intro on my first day just cuz I knew it I would I was gonna say Ashley or something But I knew they gonna bite down on something with baby like especially when we put a visual together But you probably intro to come when I put like Anywhere I went even Germany like that was that was a song that was word for word So that's how I really know what's going on like off performing and if they perform and they with me like oh, yeah, this it Yeah, it's it like no drip. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah We need to get a chance to perform no dribble yet.  Yes, sir. Oh boy.  Hey mama wish you see it one more time Hey, I'm glad Hey, bro But I answer he's that guy he's that guy for sure. I won't vouch for too many He's that guy for sure. It's risky when you vouch for motherfuckers.  No gotta trust them.   Oh man. He'd be trying to he'd be trying to get you gotta push him out The camera a little bit.   I must ask for a reason though. I know But they don't know the reason I'm in a movie. There you go. Talk. Come on I'm on it nigga.  I had to be a firefighter I didn't know oh movie. That's why the car.    I'm gonna turn to a fetus. I'm already Looking young and old. They would have been right in the comments, bro. How is Clayton 11? Niggas say I look like I work at a plant Like that nigga is in charge and give niggas time sheets They said I look like the bad Luigi One little purple bad Luigi one nigga in the comments said your mustache work at a warehouse This must as strong the motherfucker y'all wish y'all could get his We don't never be saying shit, so they always think That They asked me questions, but don't believe the answer why Clayton only got a muscle in the movie You always say that let me go always in the movie. What would possess me to be like it is my stash time Mustachio, that's me baby. Like they don't understand. There's a reason There's a reason. Yeah, no Hey, it's the Lord.  I was just there at the time and I didn't have corona It was like you got corona.  Can you come up?  Can you drive a truck? What you ever been up a mountain what you're pretty cool.  I know I come to the trap.  Yeah, what would you rate it? Okay, so what would you bro?   Would you compare to a son of mommy if you could only have two hoes in the studio? Who would you pick like niggas by your dukes? They guys want to go viral you just want to go viral That's one clicks You know sometimes Like I said, it'd be the ones that you never know them the ones that go viral on the low and just become classics Yeah, classic man. It just don't happen. It ain't forced. Yeah, it's happening. It ain't forced About to put on no blogger side of nothing. It's happening.  I got down.  What? No, they gotta they gotta hide. Yeah, cuz every time, you know, you know, the ones that don't hide is the ones I love they keep they keep it good a lot. They let it be known.    Oh, you don't talk to me like that.   Hey, it might be a couple The name is I never thought the rap names will be this long What? I ain't mean to be a rapper that was my Instagram name for it. I would like that was my Instagram name I ain't saying I need a rapper, but when I thought rapping like it was just stunning for Vegas Oh my Instagram.  Hey, that's what I was thinking when that when I first seen it like is it This a person I knew I could like let me see the nigga who ain't left Hey, look a straight at you he's right at you until we leave Hey, man, watch trap theater They man, that's what you said.  That's it.  Exactly. You find it in a click. I need to find it a click like Boy click you remember when it clicked for you. Yeah. Yeah first song I made for sure I knew it was up like I was already a nigga And I say that like in my city literally say I was already him for me. So when I made a song it was Any party they want me to perform a song we in their word for word It might be 30 people in the apartment type shit, but this you feel me. I'm performing that it was like Star presence already before I even knew it was gonna be this touch it Out the gate out the gate. It's just me. Yeah, ain't faking nothing.     Hey, man real niggas like business it and all like business it and all like not just no filming business We got to get him in the truck. Y'all got to get baby He gonna come though.   It's better.   Yeah, man, and that's what this whole platform is about man It's just creating a hole, you know white people.     I got y'all.      Whatever like I'm one of them, bro Kick it. Kick it. That's what we bring in that studio.   Oh, yeah, shut it down You know how I get here.  Yeah You don't wanna split Tia You don't want to take Tia I'm a motherfucking shot.  Yeah, whoa, we win at it with a robber Come on, we've been at it with the robber. Whoa, better ask about me when the clip hang on your track about my seat I think I'll run down.

I'm marking up for y'all What you think?   Well, my idea, right?  It's christmas time We ain't gonna see the money tell april anyway.


Hi guys, welcome back to this channel. It's Meks from the Meks creation. Remember, sometimes we all get opportunities and these opportunities may not all be gulf, it may be in Europe, it may be in Asia, it may be in Africa, whatever you get an opportunity to move out of your country, to look for greener pasture, it's okay. We get this kind of employment in one way or the other. But what happened sometime we are being put by but we are misguided or some of us fail victims of exploitation of our employer. Why? Because of what you call the contracts. I also wish the first time I came as a security guard. I wish I knew that that the contract is very important. What is agreed upon in the contract is very important. I wish I knew that every word in the agreement that you sign wherever you go to work, let it be Europe, let it be in Gulf, that word matters. How not have made the mistakes, those mistakes I made in the first two years. Remember we all come from our countries with what you call expectations in one or the other. We come, we want to build a camp, we want to look after our families, we want to build mansion houses. Those are some of the targets you put on your table as you are travelling out of your country. But as things go on, they may not be right. Things may not move on the way you are supposed to have. So what am I talking about? I am talking about what you call a contract. Yes, people who are moving out for work, you may be going for Europe, you may be going to Europe, you may go to Gulf, you are going to Qatar, you are going to Saudi Arabia, whatever kind of way you are going. Please be careful with what you call contracts, when you are signing contracts. When you are signing contracts, don't sign a contract in a language that you don't understand.  Because of excitement, I made a mistake and that is not the same mistake I want you guys, I don't want the same mistake to make. I signed a contract but I didn't know contrarily that my visa under there was a clause of my visa which it takes for five years. So it was a little bit very hard hustle to change to move to a new job. So what do I say that whenever you sign a contract for any job work, for any employment, please read that contract thoroughly, understand every single clause of that contract before you sign, it's very important. You either sell or you put yourself in a dip or you elevate yourself with a contract, the agreement you sign with your employer, read that word, reach every single word in the contract, thoroughly understand such that you cannot have a degree or you do not have degrees in one word the other. Most of our people, most of our friends have got into trouble because of the contract, you sign of the contract that is going to call you, a contract that will not even allow you to move to a new employment, a contract that is not going to move you to a new profession, a contract that is going to violate your rights because we are in too hurry in that situation that we don't get to read, we are just excited by the figure of the man. At the end of it all after given time period of time, you are going to begin regretting, I say I wish I knew, I wish I knew, I wish I knew this, if all wishes were horses then what will be happening? So this is the knowledge we are sharing as you are signing any work contract, especially if you sign the contracts away from this company, say from our countries of origin, make sure that same contract you sign thoroughly, you read and understand, it's the same contract when you come to this country, it is the same contract that you sign, otherwise you have the right to reject that contract. If you don't take it on the first step, what will happen after it may not be good for you in one way or the other, so you need to be very, very, very careful in one way or the other. Hope I try to share something for you. Thank you so much, see you again in the next video, this makes from the next question.


webinar series. These series evolved from sessions that were held by the PTLs regarding updates to their projects at each summit. And we've converted them into these quick webinars to extend the reach of these events beyond the summit. Today our PTLs are going to update you on what may be new for Juno, as well as detail any items of note that are new for our users or operators, things of interest in that realm. Today I have Sergei Lukshinov, who's now I probably said incorrectly, sorry Sergei, with data processing. Doug Hellman with Common Libraries and Teri Karez with Release Management. Each PTL is going to take about 10 to 20 minutes. So we will start with Sergei and I will move over to your presentation, Sergei. And then feel free to take it from here when you're ready. Okay, thank you. My name is Sergei Lukshinov. I'm the Program Technical Lead for the Data Processing Program. It consists of a security product that was named in the beginning of the Icehouse release, but it was renamed due to some legal issues. So it's tenuous about our current state and overview of Icehouse results. So let's start with some beats about our mission statement. It's to provide a scalable data processing stack and also credit management interfaces. So there are two main directions. So there's the security product. The first one is to provision and operate the Hadoop closers with different policies, configurations, hiding some hell about provisioning configurations and adopting them to the vehicle environment and etc. And the second direction is to schedule and operate Hadoop jobs and workloads. This second direction is named Solstice Data Proxing shortly EDP. Okay, so the EDP has taken data processing workflow management. And the main goal of EDP is to let end users get answers about data without having to know a single thing about the cluster management. Of course, for the users, those with high value questions also. Currently, support on the Hadoop is a data processing tool, but it's a very large world of different tools, the whole ecosystem of tools for data processing. What we have our intention to implement support for other data processing tools soon and we'll have one in June. Okay, let's take a look in the Icehouse release overview. There are boring numbers, but I'd like to know that we doubled the number of contributors and reviews in comparing all the Hadoop cycle. And you can find the more details on the Sahara slash Icehouse release page on the launch pad. About the project status during the Icehouse, Sahara was incubated in Icehouse cycle and it was successfully good-rated in the end of Icehouse to be part of the DUNA in due to its release. And we do it now again to make it happen in June. So let's talk a bit about the most interesting feature that was just used during the Icehouse release. And the first one is the heat-based cluster provisioning. The feature is about using heat by generating heat specs and sending them to heat to provision all of the resources that we need to set up Hadoop cluster and all the links that we need to make it working. So the next feature is the Hadoop 2 support and why it's important. The Hadoop 2 has been released in early Icehouse and there's a lot of guys in big data area that are starting to use Hadoop 2 and mostly all like to taste it, to try different apologies, configurations and that's why it's important to support it in Sahara. And please, because we're doing Sahara to make these things much, much easier than you can do with Hadoop 2. There are two main important things that the first one is that we support Hadoop 2 in both Ponelli and the EDP plug-ins. EDP is the Hatchin Dwarfs data platform plug-in. It's one of the biggest Hadoop distributions. And of course, our plastic data ports functionality supports Hadoop 2. Let's move on. There was a bunch of EDP improvements, including a database that's group support using the EDP plug-in. It's really no secret database, but it's not exposed from the Sahara-like database. It's used for data processing because it's based a lot of data processing things. And it could be used as a data source for EDP jobs internally in the classroom. And we are using Scoop to be able to use external SQL storages. So the Scoop is a Hadoop world to communicate with SQL databases. Additionally, we will implement support for streaming and playing dialog material jobs and workload. And external Hadoop Distributed File System is now supported in the data source for EDP workloads. Okay. One more important thing is that during the ICE house, we will implement a bunch of API tests in the team test and we stabilize them. And right after the ICE house release in early June, we've enabled Sahara in the integrated gate. And now we are able to say that it's a test that's in the gate, and it's intending to improve the number of tests to run them for each part of the token stack to be sure that it's still working. Okay. The one more feature that has been added during the ICE house is serialized support in the Python Sahara client. In ICE house, it was implemented basically for all of main functionality. And in that you now can use not only dashboard for Sahara, but to use serialized provision, clusters, and run jobs and all of it. Okay. Let's take a look on our June plans a bit. The main plan for June, as I said, is to support non-Hadoop plug-in, non-Hadoop data ports in the same tool. It will be Spark. It's the batch data ports in the tool with support of streaming jobs. And of course, this goal contains not only of the support for provisioning Spark plug-ins, Spark clusters, but to support it in EDP to support both directions of Sahara mission. The second goal is to measure our Sahara dashboard plug-in to Verizon to make our Sahara page available by default in OpenStack dashboard. And there are two heat-related things in our plans for June. The first one is to implement Sahara support and resource in-heat. It means that we'd like to support all our provisioning functionality using Sahara sources in-heat. And the second one is to make our heat engine, heat provisioning engine in Sahara, the default engine. And of course, we have plans for testing improvement. It contains at least additional fake plug-in-based testing certificate that will provision some very simple cluster topologies using the fake plug-in with the tools. And it will guarantee for us that our implementation of heat-based engine is well working and we could use it by default. So I think that's all from my site. Thank you all for attention and I think questions will be at the end of webinar. Great. Thanks, Sergey. Let me just see if we have any questions now. Now we can do them at the end. Okay, it looks like we don't yet. So thank you very much. Okay, I'm going to move over to Doug. Okay. So Doug, when you're ready. All right, thanks, Margie. So I'm Doug Hellman. I'm the project lead for the Oslo program. And I'm going to start out today by giving a little bit of background on the project because it is not necessarily one that is as public-facing as some of the other application-based programs. Our mission statement is to create a set of libraries that the other projects will use as a foundation for the work that they're doing and to build those with stable APIs with reliable testing and high quality and that sort of thing so that we have good documentation and consistency and reliable code that we can share among the different projects. Before Oslo started, the way we shared code between projects in OpenStack was actually literally copying modules between the different repositories between the different applications, which meant that something that started in Nova might make its way into another program into one of their applications. But then the two different versions would drift apart as different bugs were fixed in different places and features were added into places. So Oslo was started as a way to unify all of that and stop doing so much copying and that sort of thing. So what Oslo provides is management, you can move on to the next slide, management for the code copying that we do do so that we're copying, we're still copying some code because we want to provide time for APIs to evolve before we lock them down and make a library out of them. And the easiest way to do that is still to copy the code between projects so that they can adopt those changes at their own pace when they're ready to make an API change internally. But we're managing the copying using some tools that we've built so that we actually centralize all of the changes and we try to have a single copy where new features are added or bug fixes are made and then that copy is replicated in the projects that are using it. And then we also have a process for stabilizing that code and turning it into a library once the APIs are stable. And the goal of making those stable libraries is to provide consistent behavior for employers. So we want things like consistent configuration options across the different projects that are third party dependency management so that we don't have two different applications within OpenStack that depend on two different versions of some third party library making it impossible to install them together. And then better bug fixing and security fix rollout. So when we release a change to a library you don't have to update every application, you just have to update that library. And those are pretty standard sorts of things that you do in software development projects and we're evolving those procedures and tools within OpenStack using within the Oslo program. Okay, so to talk a little bit about what's going to happen in Juno I have to catch you up on what we did in Icehouse. We so far have a couple of libraries that are released. Oslo config which manages configuration files that doesn't actually define the configuration options. And Oslo messaging is our latest library and that is the RPC layer library. So that's the library that all the different applications use to talk to the message bus either RabbitMQ or Cupid. And Oslo messaging was released at the end of Havana and adoption started in Icehouse so we had a few applications that were ready and were able to get the work done in Icehouse. That work is ongoing. So we also spent a lot of time in the last release cycle building tools now that we've done a couple of libraries to sort of know what the process needs to be and we built a bunch of tools to automate it and we have some processes so that we don't miss any steps so that we can churn out more of these libraries. We also adopted four libraries that were developed outside of the OpenStack program. We have the Pi CADF library which is related to auditing. The TaskFlow library which is being used for managing multi-step processes within an application in a way that allows the process to stop and start and pick up and resume and roll back and that sort of thing. The Stevedor library is used to manage plugins and load drivers. And then the Cliff library is a command line interface to the library which we're using for the Unified OpenStack client as well as some of the individual projects I know Neutron has adopted it for their command line client. And adopting those libraries that someone else developed has allowed us to test changes to those libraries in the same way that we tested everything else in OpenStack. So we've got those libraries in the integrated gate now. And that prevents us from checking something into those libraries that's going to break an application or a release of OpenStack. So for Juno, our plans are to work mostly on library graduation but we do have a few features that I want to talk about. The RootGrap team is working on some performance improvements to that project. That should help with performance within Neutron especially with some of the other projects as well that use RootGrap. The auto messaging adoption, it was scheduled to be completed and I believe all of the integrated projects have now adopted it. I think there's a little bit of cleanup work to be done in one or two projects but that should not have any problem being completed by the end of the release. And then all of the four libraries that we adopted had version numbers that were less than 1.0 sort of implying that their API is not necessarily stable. So we're working to stabilize each of them over the cycle so that we can have a 1.0 release for each of them by the end of the cycle. And then the big work is graduating the new libraries from our incubator which is the common source of code that we're copying into the project still. And we have identified seven new libraries that we can graduate and that number may vary because we're still talking about some of them merging together or splitting apart. So it may not be exactly seven but the same amount of code will be released that just depends on how many libraries we end up making. And so take a look at the dependency graphs between those different libraries. You can see that it took us a while to work out how to release all of the code. We could have just released it as one big file of code in a library but that would make releasing updates not very easy and it would make managing changes to that library significantly harder. So we did a lot of work to analyze the dependencies between the different modules and figure out how to group them in logical ways so that we could break it up. So we have the libraries listed here in blue are already released and being managed and that includes the ones that we've adopted as well as some of the ones that we've released from the incubator. And then the libraries in yellow, those are slated to be released during June. And then the ones in gray, those are intended to be released starting in the next release cycle. We haven't planned beyond understanding what the dependencies for those are. So the seven libraries in yellow, the OsloDB library is the database layer similar to the way messaging works that will provide a driver layer for talking to different kinds of databases like SQL or mostly relational databases that might SQL or Postgres. Oslo logging is the configuration libraries for managing, setting up all the log files and log translations and that sort of thing. Oslo I18N is the internationalization library and that includes the code for translation including the lazy translation which allows API users to see messages in their own language without having to translate them themselves. So you'll actually get error messages in your own language. And then we've got a couple of others. The serialization library is sort of a low level thing for converting objects to XML or to JSON and returning this through the API or writing them to file. And the concurrency library is used for doing things like locking and communicating between two different running processes. So some of those things may merge together depending on how big the libraries actually end up to be once we look at the code. But based on the dependencies and sort of isolating the feature set that's what we came up with a set of libraries. If you want to follow along and track our progress cycle we're reviewing Launchpad Blueprints just like the other projects are. So you can follow our progress there. And we've also adopted a new process using the spec repository for submitting Blueprints with much more written details so that we can do more reviews of those and make sure that we catch issues before we start doing work. So you can follow along on that repository and the reviews that are against that repository as well. And that's pretty much all I have. So unless there are any questions. Since I've blocked everyone from speaking. Let's see. Okay. I'll open up the mic at the end too. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Let's see. That chart was pretty interesting. Wow. I'm going to pull up Teri next. That's okay. One second. There he is. Thank you very much. Okay. Okay. Thanks, Maldi. So this is Teri Carras. I am the PTL for the release cycle management program. And I'm going to talk about what we have in store for release management in Juneau. But first of all I need to introduce. It's the first webinar we have on this program. I need to give you a quick introduction on what the release cycle management program is about. It's a rather small team. We have three sub-teams. The first one is focused on integrated release management. It's mostly a project management type role where we make sure that we keep track of what will end up in the integrated release that all the dependencies between the projects get solved. And that we respect the release schedule with the values freezes and the value steps that we have put in place to ensure that the quality of the end result is satisfactory. We have a separate team that works on stable branch maintenance. So they take the released bits and apply critical bug fixes in a specific branch. And from time to time they will issue a point release to collect all those fixes and all those vulnerabilities that we fix into a table that you can potentially package afterwards. The last sub-team is the vulnerability management sub-team. So that's the team that receives vulnerability reports and about flows in open stack software and will investigate those reports and if they're substantiated they will work with the developers to produce and get those fixes into open stack and get them covered by an announcement that is the open stack security advisory to communicate to our stakeholders that we have identified the vulnerabilities. So the difficulty with that team is that they are working mostly in privates because we are receiving the vulnerability report in privates. So there is a high level of secrecy that we need around the actions of the vulnerability management team. So now for Icehouse we did implement a number of changes in our processes. On the release management side we changed the weekly meeting format. We have a cross-project meeting for all the projects that participate into the integrated release. And we used to have a section during that meeting for each project where we would get updates from that specific PTL and we would update status. The problem is with the growth of open stack we cannot really have that anymore with 10 projects in a one-hour meeting because that would be only five minutes per project. So we changed that so that we have one-to-one synchronization points between the PTL of that project and the release management. And we collect them all into a summary and we present that summary during the cross-project meeting. That frees up most of the time of the cross-project weekly meeting for more interesting discussions between projects so that we make sure that we communicate the priorities correctly across project boundaries rather than just talk about separate projects during the whole meeting. So that was really well received. We also introduced a new freeze in our development process. So by the end of the cycle we no longer introduced new dependencies into open stack so that the package orders, the work of the packages that take our pre-releases is facilitated. So they don't have like a new dependency to package two weeks before the end release which is a bit of a pain for our downstream packages. So we introduced that new dependency freeze and it was also well received and we'll do that again in June. For the stable branch team they released three Havana stable point releases and the final grizzly point release as well. And now the grizzly stable branch is at its end of life with no longer back port fixes or vulnerability fixes to it. The vulnerability management team ended up handling 85 different vulnerability reports which ended up resulting in 25 open stack security advisories. And we also improved our reporting by providing a clearer analysis of the affected versions that we for a given vulnerability we used to only provide information for affected supported versions. But that was not really useful for people that were running unsupported versions. So we now provide a more accurate account of which versions are actually affected by a given vulnerability rather than just talk about the versions that we continue to support. So looking up for June now on the release management side we decided on the release schedule so the feature freeze will be on September 4 and that means after September 4 we stop adding new features, we stop changing things and we stop fixing things so that we can end up with a release that actually works. The dependency freeze will be on the same day as the feature freeze day so we will stop adding new dependencies at around the same time. There are always exceptions to those rules but it's a general step that we won't add new features except a few ones that are granted exceptions to that process. The final June release date is set for October 16 so you can already mark your calendar because we usually see those targets pretty well. Other changes on the release management side, on the next slide, we have already started simplifying development milestone publication so during the release cycle we publish development milestones and those used to have a rather complex process where we would create a branch and we would have a two-day coding time on that branch before we actually tag the branch for a development milestone but since development milestones are not really meaningful or more used than the master branch it wasn't really useful to have that more complex process so we simplified it and now it's just a tag on the master branch and that's probably a good thing to limit the load on the release management team. We also adopted named pre-release branches so whether or not have a milestone proposed branch at the end of a cycle we will have a proposed slash Juno branch at the end of a cycle that will let us have more accurate testing because we can test upgrades from Ice House to the proposed Juno branch or from the proposed Juno branch to the master K branch that will come afterwards so it's mostly a change to close a hole in our testing at release candidate time. We also extend the one-to-one sync points to the incubated projects since it was very successful for integrated projects we decided to do the same thing for the incubated projects. On the stable branch side the support will be extended to 15 months for the previous releases. We limited during the last cycle we limited the support to 9 months and looking at the results from the user survey we can see that the open stack branches, open stack releases are used where longer than just 9 months so we have to strike a balance between the pain of maintaining those branches alive in our testing and the needs of our users and we struck that balance for the Ice House cycle to a 15 month support. We're also losing the acceptance holes for the patches that are accepted in stable branches. We used to have pretty strict rules about what is acceptable and what is not. We will now have an exception process so you can always ask for a specific patch to be accepted in a stable branch and the stable branch team will look after it and if the benefits are outweighed in the process that the patch brings then we will just accept the new patch. We'll also have a new person joining the stable branch team for handling one of the point releases for the Ice House cycle Shuck Short will join Adam Gilderman and Alan Peweck in the stable branch team. On the vulnerability management, oh no, stable branch release schedule we have plans for a point release for the Ice House release in August 7th and October 2nd and also another last ice house release at some date to be determined. The last Havana release which is number 2013.2.4 will happen sometimes during September. Those are the dates that you can expect those point releases to be tagged on the stable branches for Havana and Ice House. On the vulnerability management side we are expecting to change a few things as well. We'll clarify which code repository is actually supported by the vulnerability management team because we have 130 different code repositories in OpenStack and some of them are not really security supported at the moment and it's not really clear which ones are supported and which ones aren't. So all the integrated releases are obviously supported. All the client libraries are also supported but everything in between is not necessarily very clear so we'll clarify exactly what the set of supported repositories. We are working on incident types so that we can have a clear process depending on how the incident turns out to be. We will also work on vulnerability matrix so that we can assign a score to a given vulnerability so you can look into it and say if it's really critical for you or not that critical in your deployment. We'll try to get the security advisor published on the website in a reference section. The target is only pushed to announce mailing lists and the general mailing list and we need to have some reference section on the website where we will publish them. And finally we hope to have improved tooling all around because the difficulty, the OpenStack infrastructure is extremely often so we cannot really use it for embargoed vulnerabilities so the goal is to improve that tooling so that we can have tools to test embargoed patches efficiently rather than just manually at the vulnerability management team. That concludes this presentation on the release cycle management program and if you have any questions I'll take them now. Great thanks Siri. I think we have any questions at this time but let me unmute people. You are now unmuted. The call is unmuted if anyone else would like to ask questions. Now's the time. While we're waiting also these webinars will also be on the foundation YouTube channel in the next few days or by Monday. So you can catch them there as well. I think all in there's a series of seven. And they conclude next. We have a question on the chat now. So the question is, is the 15 month support starting with Icehouse? Yes it is starting with Icehouse. We plan to support it for 15 months. Great thank you for the question. Anyone else while we have them? Okay. Well after the webinar concludes you'll get an email saying thank you if you have any additional questions feel free to send them back to foundation and then I can divvied them out to Sergei Doug or Terry from there and like I was saying that these webinars will also be on the foundation YouTube channel as well. So if there are no more questions I think then I will conclude here for your time. I know you're all very busy and have a great day. Thank you.


In many relationships, things are easy and smooth sailing. Communication is straightforward. The person is honest with you, and you simply get along with each other. But unfortunately, with some people, this isn't always the case. In fact, relationships can sometimes be complete nightmares. If you find yourself walking around eggshells just to talk with them, or they're unpredictable and passive aggressive, they might have a secret agenda they're trying to fulfill. They might be trying to control your feelings and use you to get what they want. Here are 10 signs someone is playing mind games with you. 1. They use your feelings against you. Manipulative people want control over your life, and don't truly care about or love you. A telltale sign that you're in a relationship with someone like this is that you're often worried, anxious, confused, or feel off around them.   2. They compare you to other people.  If you're dating someone and they often make comments like, my last girlfriend didn't mind me being late, or why don't you dress the way she dresses. This might be a red flag. Without expressing themselves honestly, they're trying to push you in a direction you don't want to go. 3. They refuse to give you compliments. Some people are shy and find it hard to tell you what they like about you, but if you're in a relationship with someone who never gives you a kind word now and again and acts as if your good qualities don't exist, they might be trying to test you. If your partner doesn't seem to recognize your new earrings, thank you for dinner, or mentions nothing about how you cleaned the house, this could be a sign they're measuring your breaking point. If this is the case, they want to see how frustrated you'll become so they can gouge your reaction. This isn't what someone who loves you would do, is it? 4. They ask you lots of basic questions. This usually happens more towards the start of the relationship. Is someone you know constantly bombarding you with simple questions like, how many siblings do you have? Or how long have you had that phone? It's possible that they may not care and are trying to test your level of honesty as they don't feel it needs to be kept secret. Later, they might start asking you repetitive or similar questions over and over. This usually means they're playing with your mind and are fishing for in-depth information only to potentially use against you later. 5. They disappear often. They spend 30 minutes complaining to you over the phone about how they had a bad day at work. After you patiently listen and share your condolences, you have a really difficult day of your own. You text them about it and never get a response. For days, then weeks. I Didn't Seek is a common action of someone who is playing mind games with you. They hang around when they can use you to their advantage or for their own entertainment. But if there's nothing they think they'll benefit from, like clockwork, they're conveniently nowhere to be found. 6. They don't fulfill their promises. We all forget things. You can't expect someone to be 100% consistent with their actions and words always aligning with each other. But is your partner constantly claiming they'll take you out on a vacation or for a fancy meal but never do? Maybe their schedules aren't open or they currently can't afford it. But what if they're lying?  They'll try to convince you that they'll provide you with wonderful things as long as you keep following their orders, only to yank them away at the last minute. 7. They play the jealousy game. People who manipulate and practice mind games are insecure and their lives are often messy. This is what drives them to try and control others. If your girlfriend is always bringing up positive things about her ex-boyfriend, she's likely trying to get a reaction out of you. If you respond upset when your partner tries this tactic, it reassures them that you still love them, all the while disregarding the way that you feel.  8. They confuse you. Sometimes communication between us and others isn't always clear. Our terminology is not invariably the same and the meanings behind the words we use may be slightly different to those we speak to. But are you always second guessing and questioning yourself with one specific person? Confusion and gaslighting are some of the most prime weapons manipulators will use against you. Be aware of phrases like, I already told you that, don't you remember? And no, I didn't tell you to do that. When you're absolutely positive, you know that what they're saying isn't true. 9. The silent treatment. When you're not behaving the way they want you to, a manipulative person often will resort to the silent treatment or threaten to leave you.  That being said, why would you even want to be with someone who pulls stuff like this with you? 10. They suddenly start complimenting you excessively. This is where it gets tricky. Lack of complimenting, as we said earlier, is a potential sign of mind games. But if, out of nowhere, they start praising you whether it be for your skills, talents, or looks, after a prolonged period of not doing so, you might not want to give in to their words so quickly. If they notice you've been backing away from them, they could be trying to allure you and pull you back into their zone. Once you're there though, they'll eventually resort to their old ways of mind games and manipulations again. Do you think someone's been playing mind games with you? What are some of the things they did that gave them away? Let us know in the comments below. Please understand that you never deserve to be treated with manipulation by anyone.

Hello everyone! So after a sad day over there in Spalding for the pig vigil, we've come here to pigs in the wood sanctuary here in Huddersfield. It's a beautiful place situated here in the woods out here in Huddersfield and we've come here to meet the staff, look at the sanctuary and of course meet the pigs. Let's do it! Hello! How are you? Great to meet you. This is beautiful. Yeah, here we are. This is pigs in the wood. Wow. Pigs are all over the wood. The pigs? How many pigs do you have here? At the moment we have 20. Okay, cool. Permanent residents but we also re-home other pigs. Well let's go and walk through and see if we can meet some pigs. Okay, I'll take you this way. Let's go this way. Just grab some food as a temptation for us. Just bread. We try not to give them too much bread. It's not really healthy for them. Okay. Just a treat then. We tend to go for sweet things. Like we all do. All these amazing volunteers. They'll just help out in their own time. Nice. Who's this in here?  Wakey, wakey. Good morning, grumpy bums. This is bretta. We've just disturbed this but I don't think she'll mind for a piece of bread.  They have lots of fruits and vegetables, don't they? Yeah. Yeah, they're quite fussy actually with what they eat. Yeah. We don't realise how fussy they are but they don't like anything dark green. Oh really? So they hate sprouts. Hello, bretta. How are you? Gretta, did you say hello? Yes, hello. Would you like to give us some bread? Gretta, here. Look what I've got for you. Here you go. Oh dear, that's only a treat for you. Otherwise you get two trouble-wubs. That's right. I think you've had enough. And it's enough bread for you today.  Oh really? So he can't have bread but he does try to pinch it when he can. That's little George who you might see. Oh, Gretta, you're just the cutest. Come on, Gretta. As I say, they're round the wood collecting acorns. All right, acorns, they love acorns? Well, they love them too much. They become addicted to them. They give them like a buzz. Yeah. Are you getting high off acorns, Gretta? They're naughty. Pig that was stoned for two days. Oh wow. He just lay on his back with his legs up in the air and he just couldn't move. Wilba. Wilba. Stoned piggy off the acorns. Yeah. Okay, so in here we have Mabel and Jingle and Bella. Yeah. So she's a mangalitzer. They were nearly extinct in 1990. So the grunting helps the milk. The grunting helps the milk flow. I didn't know that. Mabel's crib is just on point. That's the best pig crib I've ever seen.  Hello, beautiful. Hello, Mum. Hello, Mabel. We've got fuzzy little wuzzies. Hello, my Lord. Can I feed the baby? Hello, baby. Oh dear.   Oh dear. Here you go. Here you go. Just on the floor then. I don't want to lose my finger. Here you go. Here you go. Oh, God. How does she do it, those little nippers on her? Oh my God. How do you feed these babies?   And she was going to be given away as a breeding pig, so she had been removed from her piglets. Ah, so they would have been taken away from her, but now she gets to stay with their piglets. It's a happy mum. Yep. Because in the farrowing sheds, they just breed them and take the piglets away constantly and keep them in those crates. They just don't consider, you know, the maternal bond of the, yeah. They don't care. They don't care, no. They care about the money, that's it. Happy mum and happy babies. Yeah. So it should be. Yeah. You're my favourite animal ever. Look at you.  Scratchy scratchies. You like belly scratch? Oh. You want a belly scratch? Come on. Come here. Here you go. It's okay. Don't be shy. Give me a belly scratch. There you go. Oh, dear. Come look at your face.  Oh, yes. You are so beautiful. Yes, you are so beautiful. Don't be shy. Do you ever feel a bit down? Come to pigs in the woods, meet the piglets, and you're going to feel much better. We went to the slaughterhouse the other day, so went to a spaulding animal saving the gas chamber there in spaulding. So we just come here for... Yeah, we get a lot of vegan groups come to see the kind of the positive side of it.  I mean, I've had school kids and I've talked to them about the story of the pigs and the fact that, you know, some don't live longer than six months in the best way. When I explained to them, they've all burst out, you know, crying, tears, really upset. But then, you know, something that they don't know or understand or is hidden from them. And I think, you know, the next generation hopefully will be more open-minded about what's going on. I think we can make a difference now. I think if we... like, sanctuaries can help change the way people view the animals, you know, like, but I think people just view pigs as are, you know, they're just food or they see them as... They just see bacon, they don't actually see the pig and then when they see the pig, they look they look down on them with a bit of contempt. But when you bring them to a sanctuary and they have individual names and stories and, you know, then they can start viewing animals as beings worthy of respect. It does resonate for people, you know, they make that connection and they think about it, you know, all pigs are the same.  They kind of put them in different categories. Categories, so it's okay because that's a breeding pig, but this is a pet pig. But they all have the same feelings, you know, and at the end of the day, breeders, whether it's organic, they still have to go through that horrendous experience.  And I even go as far as to say to people, like, there's, like when they have these companion animals at home, like dogs and cats and, like, inherently the way they feel pain and want to live and they feel love and all these joy and all these things, there's no different to a pig does and, you know, yeah. George! George! Oh, George is gluten intolerant. Hey George! We're just going to go meet George, like up close and personal. Hey, Georgie! Hey, buddy! How you going? How are you? Oh, you're giving him a little sniff. You want a little scratch? George needs gluten-free bread. He's eating acorns. George, you're an acorn addict. Do you want to talk about it? That's got 8-8 meetings. Acorn's anonymous. He's probably more interested in acorns than a belly scratch. Yes. So there's Kate up there. We've got a slow version of Kate shaking, so it's a bit like a Pamela Anderson scene when she comes out of the water. Oh, excellent. Mud flashing everywhere, so I'll route that. This is going to be a good video.  Oh, really? Bartering. But the car dealer just fed them on bread, and so the baby pig had a stroke. He became too attached to Kate, but he couldn't admit it. Oh, really? He couldn't say it was because he became too attached to a pig. So he started to get emotional connection with Kate and he couldn't eat her? Yeah. And he said it was because she was a nuisance. Oh, I know. Yeah. He's trying to do the old defense mechanism strategy. He's trying. Yeah. He's possibly become emotionally attached to a pig. It's not a manly enough or it's not farmer enough. That's right. Kate, you're beautiful. So she's still addicted to bread. We have to wean her off it, so this is a rare treat. Kate, we've got to wean you off. I can't emphasize that. Kate, we know your problems with bread. Yeah. Probably acorns as well now. She's quite a nice girl. Be careful. She's strong. She can step. She's a nice headbutt. Okay. Sometimes. I've had a headbutt or two of my time. Don't worry about that. She turns what mood she's in. I think some of the trolls on my channel might like to see me get headbutted by a pig. They might like that. Not today, guys. Kate, are you my friend? Okay, look at this belly. Oh my, there's a lot of area to cover here with this belly. Look at that. Oh, yes. Oh, what's going on under here? I've been told I give the best belly rubs in all of England. That's what all the pigs tell me. Kate's just chilling, getting the belly rubs out here in the woods. This is a life, hey, Kate? So the reason you don't see pigs getting this size, unless like a sow, a sow breeding sow might get close, is because they're all killed at about six months old, six to seven months old. And most of the pigs here in England and in Wales are killed in gas chambers.  By now, I've talked about them throughout my years on YouTube. And yeah, sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that around, Kate. She got a bit uncomfortable then, eh? It's okay, darling. Not you, though, but yeah. It's okay, sweetie. She's fully grown now. And another point is that these industry, you could blame the industry, but the only reason this industry exists is because of they're just meeting the demand. So the consumer has a responsibility of what they're paying for here, you know? So you're paying for these animals to be mass exploited on mass and to be executed for you, just so you can have a five minute sandwich. And these are beings that are complex, intelligent, caring, they care for their children like you saw before, and they're being treated like objects. When they're not objects, they're just sentient animals, conscious animals that want to live at pigs in the wood. These type of pigs here have the favourite face of all the pigs for me. That face is just too much for me to handle.  Hello. Oh, gee.  What's this? What's this? Florence? Florence, what's this? Oh, I'm on your new friend immediately. Look at this. Wow, this is your events area. Yeah. You've even got a stage here. Yeah. What happens on that stage? Well, it's when we have a pig gig and we have fans once a year. You've got a pig gig.  So this year we managed to organise it along with COVID restrictions, so we had to put all that in place. Did you get any photos of the pig gig? Yeah, we've got loads.  The pigs were invited. No, the pigs invited the humans to the party. Yeah, they hosted it. They had the treats as well. I wish all the pigs had a pig party in this beautiful heaven.  It's really heartwarming, but it's also really sad knowing the contrast because it's such to another extreme of horror and that's actually the reality for the vast, vast, vast majority of pigs on earth. They are just seeing nothing as, they're just seeing as, I don't know, objects and it's horrible, but these pigs are in like piggy paradise. Yeah, it's just they're all about everywhere. I don't know who this is over here. Louise. Is this Louise? So they're really used to people if you had them since piglets here. Hey Louise, how are you? Am I allowed to give Louise a little snack? Louise, look what I've got. I've come all the way from Australia to give you this bit of Australian bread. Here you go, mate. Here you go. Here you go. There you go. Oh, dear. Look at that face. Is that, is that yummy?  Give me a little sniffing kiss. So all brothers and sisters were killed. What for? The meat industry? Yeah, we're taken off and we managed to get her and her mom and her sister as well because they were actually advertised as surplus to requirement. Okay. Because it was the end of the season on the leisure farm and so people could just come and take them. So we raced down there because we knew that farmers would take the opportunity to get some free pigs and unfortunately seven of them had already gone. Oh dear. When I tell this story to school children, they get really upset. Yes. They want to know what happened to the piglets and so I carefully explained that to them and they were hugging her and they were saying we're sorry. Lost the whole family. It really did affect them. All the ways. Yeah. But that's reality, isn't it? Unfortunately. It doesn't have to be reality though. So we can all, we can all make a difference here but it starts with what you put in your mouth. Someone's dropped the nuts. By accident? Yeah. Because he's this. Is this Greta? Greta, what have you got here? You hit the jackpot? Yeah. Yeah, because you can tell. Look, there's a trail. It's just stopped, it dropped there and they started walking, kept walking, didn't notice it. I mean, I would stay in one of these porches. They look, they look mighty comfy with all that straw in there. Just give me a bowl of oats in one of those piggy bowls every morning. A couple of peanuts. I'll be sorted. We'll get some bread for you, Wilbur.  Look at her smile. Hello, darling. Oh, look at you. And also, what about people who say that pigs, really dirty animals and they poo all over themselves and all that? That's not true. Do they ever poo in their house? They never make a mess in their house. They don't we all poo in their house. They'll find an area like a toilet where they go to. But in their factories, they are defecating where they, because they can't move. So people just get this idea that pigs just defecate on themselves and... I think that's where the rumours come from. I think a lot of time people just want to believe that because it justifies what they do, that they're dirty animals. It's almost a really big admirer of yours. Oh, really? I've heard it. I'm an admirer of yours too. I heard that you're... I heard that you do a lot for the animals here. Yeah, yeah. How long have you been working here for? About 11 months now. Wow. And do you really like it? What's your favourite story about your experience here with the animals? Come on, there's got to be one that that. Out for grab, which we're running around in circles taking everyone down a bit. Why? Because you didn't want to go with the vet. They're very scared when we see the vet coming. They're so smart. Yeah. Yeah, we accept everyone here. That's beautiful. Everyone's welcome here. And we try to show the pigs loving naturally and what they are, the characters, and we get loads and loads of positive responses. Yeah. And you get the odd people saying, I bet they're good in a bacon sandwich, et cetera. But by the time they've been round and they've looked and cuddled and tickled the pigs, do you know what? Start to break through. As long as they've got that goal to work towards and they know that while they're continuing to consume these products, they're paying for this horror story to happen and they've got to work towards that goal. Yeah. And when they come here and they make that association that actually that's my pork chop or that's my bacon butty. Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. Once they see the who instead of the what. And it starts that message all of a sudden. I can guarantee you can almost see that penny drop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like if you convinced every five people here to be a vegan or reduce or have vegan days, then how many animals are you saving? Exactly. Exactly. You know, it just sped up. It's true, yeah.  So it's always got to do something. I don't want to be standing up. What's your proudest achievement here? Because I heard that you've done a lot of the infrastructure here. What is your proudest achievement here? My proudest is coming to work here every day and making a difference. I think when you can make a difference, when you can make a difference and make a positive difference, it makes you feel good inside. Yeah. You know, I think if you've got a choice to be kind or cruel, people choose kindness. Choose kindness. Makes you feel better, doesn't it? Oh, God, yeah. So it's actually like a circular thing where you're giving it, you're giving out and you're getting back at the same time. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's nothing better than early mornings working at the top of the woods. Yeah.   Yeah, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the first time I've got nipped by Harry. Yeah, he's after the dog biscuit. Oh, cute. So cute. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for doing all your hard work here. I mean, it's beautiful gift that you're giving your time and your energy and work. Do you join the team? All in the team. Do you take volunteers? Yeah, we take volunteers. Yeah, we're always in need of volunteers. Okay. Generally, we do two shifts a day. Okay. So they get fed in the morning and afternoon. Yeah. So we try to get three volunteers on at a time and then we can spread the jobs out. Oh, wow. So if you had more volunteers, you could spread the shifts out more liberally and you know. Yeah, that's right. So there you go. So if anyone wants to come volunteer, you can reach out to pigs in the woods. That's right, yeah. We're always looking for new volunteers. The links will all be down below. So you can reach out and say, hey, I'm interested in volunteering and see what happens. But very therapeutic being out here in the woods and seeing all the amazing animals. And if you love animals and you think you want to be part of helping animals, this is a good place to start, yeah? Definitely. All right. So that was a lovely day out here in Pigs in the Wood. I met all the beautiful animals and the beautiful volunteers and founders here. Volunteers are needed. So I'll leave the links down below for that. If you want to chip in one quid, two quid, 10 quid, 50 quid, let's get it done. It goes to the pigs and the infrastructure here. And yeah, it's going to a good place.


I'm happily visiting the Shanghai event to present two works during lunchtime sessions. So the first work we already have presented just one week ago in New York during the real world crypto event is a joint work with Leonid Reisen of Boston University and our another guy, Dmitry Meshkov named improving authenticated dynamic dictionaries with applications to crypto currents and this is about solving some hard problems in the area of scalability of the blockchain. So hopefully we can solve some issues with our improved authenticated data structures. Another work I will present during lunchtime tomorrow is about a hybrid proof of work proof of stake protocol named twins chain. This is the joint work with Professor Honkshenk of Virginia Commonwealth University and his student Leifan of Jantun University and Tuyet Donk of Virginia Commonwealth University. The main motivation of the work is to secure major blockchain against an adversarial majority of mining power by using proof of stake company. So first we have already major blockchain with a stake distribution, hopefully honest and then we use proof of stake component to secure the blockchain against majority of adversarial mining power. Just after this event I am hopefully releasing the new major release of SCOREX, SCOREX 2.0 so it's 95% ready so the code is mostly done and the documentation is also 90% ready so it will be released in coming weeks and this is like rewrite of the SCOREX so no much in common with the previous major version so it's completely new work and I would be happy to present it soon. So it's totally different architecture and now it supports a broad range of designs so not only blockchains but three structures and more complex structures of history in a well now not a blockchain but a block somewhat system and it is also about a better support of hybrid systems like proof of work proof of stake so our reference twins chain implementation is done on top of SCOREX 2.0 and well it was done very efficiently so hopefully it would be a good example of how SCOREX 2.0 is useful in fast port typing. The idea of our work on improving authenticated dynamic dictionaries is in the first place to develop data structure working in two-party model so usually most of work in authenticated data structures is using three-party model where we have some trusted broker and we don't have any trusted broker and cryptocurrency so we have only Prover and Verifier and Prover which is a miner is generating proofs and then Verifier is able to get a new root hash from just proofs so without holding the whole data structure and also we spend a lot of time counting each byte in our proofs so you know the space is very limited in the blockchain so we produced a lot of efforts to compress our proofs and we made a new kind of compression so batch compression when we are combining multiple proofs into a single batch proofs so this is about a significant improvement much better than you can do with just simple j-z-pink of proofs or well whatever compression. The main application we intended our work for is to authenticate the whole state of cryptocurrency because well other solutions are whether inefficient or just not suitable for cryptocurrency to authenticate the whole state so our solution is dynamic so authenticated data structure is modifiable and yeah it works in two-party model and proof length is optimal and also yeah we made further improvements with the help of batching compression so for a cryptocurrency setting well this is probably the best solution we can think about at the moment for example in bitcoin this is about a set of unspent outputs so a state is something enough to validate an arbitrary transaction and yeah nothing more so some nodes can store also some specific information but we are talking about some well minimal state every full node in a cryptocurrency network nodes in order to validate an arbitrary transaction.


don't want to stereotype there's no one pathway to radicalization there's no one common element but if we look at each instance of individual or communal radicalization there are things that we can begin to understand and that start that begins by doing the analysis and demystifying the problem i'll say a couple things one agree religion is part of the soup the cocktail that that leads to violent extremism one thing that i get concerned about is that when we when we focus on the religious solutions again we jump to that counter narratives that if we can just come up with the right religious messaging then that will pull the rug out from under but we know that it's not just about the ideas it's not just about the theological propositions that there's other elements that we might ascribe to spiritual faith these issues of of hope and belonging and what do we do in the face of injustice and as violence is a violence legitimate response and and all of these things that are also playing into that you know quote unquote religious umbrella and we need to take account of of those more nebulous or complex or complicated factors in addition to some of the other institutional issues one thing you know you know i said i was very careful in my presentation to say that it's it's not just a muslim problem it's not just islam and i and i work in Sri Lanka and Myanmar and other places and in Nigeria where you see forms of buddhist what we call it might call extremism or christian extremism and then of course here in the us we see forms of it as well and and i think we need to be careful to to continue to recognize the the different forms in which extremism arises including those from different religious traditions as well as those from from different secular ideologies but i think we also at the same time need to recognize that the the the muslim elements of the muslim world in particular are struggling with this right now in a very acute way that i think other religious traditions have in the past too and so how can we the the pressing question for us in the US is how do we respond to that in a way that doesn't fuel this narrative of the war on Islam as well and and i think that's something that a lot of policymakers here are are struggling with so the final thing on youth i would just say that in my experience and a lot of these zones of conflict in which i work they the youth are actually at the front lines and they're doing a much better job than us oldies although i say that also acknowledging that at the beginning when the question was asked if who here are parents none of the people at the front of the room raised their hands um you are oh sorry david has kids i just didn't raise okay he doesn't like to acknowledge it but he has kids but the the youth have really been some of the most courageous and some of the most front line responders um in in manmar for example it was the youth groups in particular who came forward to do some of the interfaith work and to challenge some of the the rising buddhist nationalist rhetoric that was seeming to fuel some of the the violence that was taking place there and i've seen that in other places too and there's there's a number of programs like generation change a number of especially some of these technologically savvy social media campaigns that have really been youth driven and youth led and that and the old fogies have a lot to learn from thank you susan so why don't why don't we take another round and maybe um i give give michael on saline my chance to address those ones so we can hear from them as well um yes olivia and then and one here go ahead i wanted to just here's a mic a little bit deeper in the poll factors with iso in particular um i was really struck by sunday times article magazine article a couple weeks ago about the british fighters and how i forget the statistics but the majority were college educated middle middle class families were so programmed as peace builders to think of things in reaction to grievances but it really didn't feel like it was coming out of grievance it was more i was reminded of the generation that went to fight the spanish civil war that there was this tremendous sort of romanticization and i think sulema that really came through in the twitter pieces that you were showing in facebook with the women and i was then thinking about the thing we just heard about neuroscience and how what we think will be effective counter narratives often backfire um you'd spoke david about this not being your grandmother's religion that there's this sort of excitement and edge to it and i wonder if we're creative enough in thinking about how to address that aspect of it you spoke about its legitimacy so i just feel like there's there's more to understand there and really curious to your responses okay thank you for some wonderful presentations my name is judy bars hello um i think the cv e uh conversation often focuses on the trees rather than the forest and what i mean by that in this case is you know brilliantly alluded to by michael and and followed up by john but what what we failed to do is engage in what can only be a radical critique of a situation where we basically went into a war in iraq which created the circumstances in which um you know the the the isle the rise of isle became possible uh in in combination with you know decades of failed policy in the middle east supporting dictators and the rise of the air spring and protest and the you know the disintegration of of of the social order the political order that has ensued which creates the vacuum i think having actually worked at usip from 2007 to 2000 to 2007 during the iraq war what strikes me most is how we in this peacebuilding community are often expected to come up with a sort of bucket brigade you know to come up and clean up the mess after it's been you know created and art i think a challenge is to figure out how we can remind people that it's not just a matter of coming up with the specific techniques to work with the damaged individuals who've resulted from these political circumstances but to um you know remember to position front and center the failed policies that led us to this situation in the first place and to you know prevent you know continuation of those policies thank you judy and finally thank you my name is melinda holmes i work with the carter centers human rights program um i think that probably most of us agree that religion is an important component to this specific conversation but i wanted to push a little and ask what should we be doing when it comes to thinking about the role of religion more broadly and i want to ask that because just as it doesn't work very well to only talk to muslims when there's violence occurring or when there's violent extremism or worried about terrorism i don't think it works very well to only think about religion when it comes to the role of religion and violence and so i wanted to ask much as we may not see where the youth are because we may not understand their ways of of acting their ways of mobilizing maybe we aren't really understanding religion and its role very well because we're not where religion is with the youth with um sort of the masses and so i was wondering if you could comment on how we can advocate for a more effective and broad look at the role of religion in public policy and society at large thank you thank you very much so uh selena or michael i don't know if you have any initial um reactions otherwise um anyone on the anyone else go ahead but i have two comments uh first i agree with the uh statement came from uh zbeck about that we shouldn't make a stereotype that terrorism is somehow correlated to islam uh tourism happened from different groups and actually making this uh correlation in public makes it look like that terrorism is also wrong when it happens from a muslim but when it happens from someone else it it's okay lots of violent groups use uh examples from andela not from andela that in many eyes he was counted as a terrorist until he reconciled with the regime at the time and then he is not a terrorist anymore so it seemed that the the the act of terrorism is considered a politic uh decision or politic side if you are in my side then you are not a terrorist then you are freedom fighter but if you are on the other side then you are a terrorist and i think that's why the neutrality needed in in this aspect is the um referring to other thing about um i think uh the second point extremism for me is as a symptom to a real problem is there is a real problem could it be uh poverty could it be uh foreign intervention could it be um dictatorship could it be whatever it is so there is a problem extremism is just a way to to express the problem people are angry and they carry guns they kill people they do crazy things but why is there angry that is a serious problem i think we need to address the real problem not the symptom we need to fight the disease not the symptom disease i think religion contribute to this process as just finding and execute to do it so as an example in in my country lots of people like criminal groups they rob people and to justify socially they would say okay um i rob only from i steal money from rich people uh and by by making class differentiation they make it they make their crime to to seem justifiable i'm stealing from the rich people or stealing from other people or i'm stealing only from christians because god allowed us to take christians money or properties of christians so i think religion contribute to this process as just by providing a way of justification or making it so saying it's okay but it's not the real problems the real problems that people has the motive to have the motives to do these actions and and they have the intention to do it and and religions then come and justify it some religious interpretation just fight but it's not the real problem i i understand that by just offering justification to crimes it's a problem in itself but it is not what motivates people according to my experience it's not what motivates people to do these actions people have the intentions to do it and and then they try to look for ideological or religious justification for these actions there's a quick comment because i um first of all what happened in iraq is really sectarianism and as was said earlier isis uses the ideology of batis movement with uh islamic references and i keep hearing religion as if islam contained in itself a problem when it doesn't it's really an ideology coded with islamic references that they use out of context historically completely wrong and they use to attract people because when they come across naive uh young girls or boys and they say well it's your religious duty to come and join us and fight for us etc that's how they they gain uh force so i i think we should really be careful in using words just like religion or islam it's not religion or islam it's muslims certain muslims who create a problem thank you um please join me in thanking our panelists for all their comments today and for your comments as well and your and your thoughtful remarks on this topic and from a peacebuilding perspective we know this this isn't new per se but rather gets to a lot of the heart of the issues that we've worked on for a long time and i for one refuse to believe that narrative and identity is impossible to change and so we can only work in the micro factors in programming or or in the microcosm i believe large change in the way we think the way we think about ourselves the way we think about others is possible and that needs to be front and center in our strategies for this moving forward um in any case before you get up a couple of uh logistical announcements so following this session if you've registered and paid for the gallery walk and reception that will be in the leeland atrium it's where you walked in and found the registration table there's a photo exhibit of usip's work um leading up to our peacebuilding efforts prior to the afghan elections last year as well as photos from tom farrow afp board member and director of the center for global health and peacebuilding and tom has a particular unique eye so you should look at some of his work for everyone else thank you again very much if you are coming to tomorrow's session it doesn't take place here at usip it will be at fhi 360 it starts at 8 30 there's a soapbox where you can make individual uh announcements to everyone else to let them know something you're working on if that can help facilitate you finding people that you're interested in connecting with faster so please join us tomorrow as well and thank you again everybody for for being part of the session
