We'd like to thank you for joining the Data Diversity webinar, including all your mission critical data in modern apps and analytics, sponsored today by Precisely. Just a couple of points to get us started, due to the large number of people that attend these sessions, you will be muted during the webinar. For questions, we will be collecting them by the Q&A or if you'd like to tweet, we encourage you to share highlights or questions via Twitter using hashtag Data Diversity. And if you'd like to chat with us or with each other, we certainly encourage you to do so. And just to note, Zoom defaults the chat to send to just the panelists, but you may absolutely change it to network with everyone. And to find the Q&A or the chat panels, you may click on those icons found in the bottom middle of your screen for those features. And as always, we will send a follow-up email within two business days containing links to the slides, the recording of the session and any additional information requested throughout the webinar. Now, let me introduce to you our speaker for today, Ashwin Ramachandran. Ashwin is the Senior Director of Product Management for the Precisely Connect Product Family. In his seven plus years of precisely, he has enjoyed having a front row seat, watching enterprises adopt and react to the progressive waves of technological, excuse me, I'm so all tongue tied today, change taking hold from legacy data warehousing to Hadoop to modern cloud data warehousing, machine learning and AI. He is particularly passionate about identifying opportunities for how precisely he can help customers overcome their pressing business challenges as these waves of technology continue to take hold. And with that, I will go to the floor to Ashwin to get today's webinar started. Hello and welcome. Thank you so much, Shannon, really appreciate the opportunity to present today on this topic. So I guess with that said, let's just jump right into it. So as Shannon mentioned, the subject of today's talk is really ensuring that data for projects, whether that be analytics or building modern applications include all of an enterprise's mission critical data. The agenda that we've got today is pretty straightforward. I'm going to start out by talking about modernization, the benefits and then the associated challenges with reaching those goals. I'll then dive into complexity specifically related to what we precisely see as mission critical data assets. And from there, I'll pivot towards talking about some solutions and how precisely assists are 12,000 plus customers with these solutions to navigate the complexity. And then I'll close out today before we jump into Q&A with a really interesting customer story that I particularly enjoy going through. So with that, let's start talking about the main topic, right? What are some of the benefits of modern analytics platforms? I'm not going to be the first to say any of these items, right? But my goal here is to really summarize a lot of the key things we see our customers looking to get out of modern data platforms, modern analytics platforms, et cetera. When you take a look at modern analytics platforms or data platforms built on top of hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, et cetera, clearly they offer an ability to get visibility into all of an organization's data so you can get a consistent view of your data that's accurate and solved for a complex multi-platform data environment, right? With that set, you now have the opportunity to enable competitive differentiation, right? Through the variety of services that may exist on these different platforms, you can maybe build a more real-time application that's built on data that comes from across the business and not just an individual silo. Another key benefit we see our customers continue to leverage is an opportunity to optimize their existing spend, right? In nine out of 10 cases, there is a cost savings to be realized by moving from a static, say, warehouse on premises in your data center that's allocated for the maximum capacity that you hit one day out of a month, right? And instead, move towards paying exactly for what you use and doing that at a much more cost-effective price per bit as it were, right? You can handle petabyte scale workloads and much better cost economics. The other thing that I would really point to here is modern platforms definitely allow organizations to leverage market-available skills, right? The IT world has a ton of data hubs that are either homegrown, built by specific consultants and organizations, may not actually have all the skills they need to manage those environments and modernize them and push them forward. So what I would say is with a modern analytics platform built in the cloud, you can not only support the existing workloads that you've already had with in-house market-available skills, but you can also drive some new initiatives around data governance from a unified set of tools. And then I think lastly, really, because we are consolidating silos, you really do have an opportunity to achieve insight at any scale, right? You're no longer limited to just what you can manage and within your own environment. There's a bunch of tools in the tool set to allow you to do that. Now, all right, we've talked about modern analytics platforms. Makes sense. Like I said, I don't think anything I've set up till now is what you haven't probably heard before, but let's talk a little bit about mission critical systems because this is really the core of the talk here, right? When we take a look at mission critical systems, how would you define them? Well, the way that we look at it precisely is as follows. Mission critical systems, as I see it, are systems that are deeply entrenched in the history of the business. What that means is they may have been around for 10 years. They may have been around for 30 years. They may have been around for 50 years. We actually see, given our history, we've got a big footprint within mainframe shops and those systems have been around 50-plus years. They continue to run core business operations that directly impact revenue. So modernizing one of these systems are actually working with the data in those systems needs to be done in such a way that you don't negatively impact your ongoing operations. Typically, these are high visibility systems that have tight security restrictions in place.  But I think most importantly, if you add all these pieces up, a key thing to keep in mind is these systems actually contain really, really rich data assets. And those assets are constantly changing. They are not static. They continue to be updated. Transactions continue to run through these systems. And so it's really, really important to actually make heads or tails of the data within them. Oftentimes, I've, you know, and I think we've used this terminology precisely before in the past, but we often have used the term legacy systems, right? And I think legacy systems kind of slot into what are defined as mission critical here. And really, when you say legacy, I think a short answer for that is it's legacy because it works. It's got demonstrable value to the business. And it's, you know, it's going to continue to be a cornerstone of the IT landscape for that organization. So, all right, if these are mission critical systems, let's dive into one specific set. And this one is really around the mainframe. The mainframe is not a shrinking market. In fact, it is a growing market. The mainframe market's growing at two and a half percent, which most people when we talk to them, you know, they generally think either the mainframe is gone or it's going to go away on some time-bound horizon. But in the interim, the mainframe market is continuing to grow. You know, we see a little bit of if you look at our customer base, we've got really two buckets of customers, I would say at the very high level who have mainframe. Bucket number one is, hey, I've got my mainframe. We've got a plan to retire it. And to do that, I need to first start, you know, migrating data off of it. And then that may be a five-year project, a 10-year project, whatever it looks like. And then bucket number two is, hey, I've got a mainframe and that thing is not going away. Or at least there's no time-bound horizon upon which it's going to go away. So instead, what I really need is the ability to leverage the data that's generated by that platform more intelligently. So that's what I should be, you know, that's what I would say here. If you look at kind of what we see in the market with our customers. In fact, a BMC report said back in 2019, mainframe transaction volumes grew 50% year over year. Right? So this is not just a growing market, but the fact that transaction volumes are actually going up is indicative of the fact that, hey, there is more data getting generated on these platforms than they have in the past. And it's imperative that organizations are set up to deal with the data from those platforms and work with it. All right, so let's keep going here. So the last thing I really want to say here as I make the case for this problem is, you know, how can this data then help contribute to an organization's success? Well, I see this shake out in terms of some key opportunities and then some impacts that necessarily follow from it. So the opportunity number one, right, that second group of customers I spoke about, mission critical systems are generating data that's and those systems are not necessarily going away. So the impact to your business is a need to reliably integrate this data at speed, continues to grow. The second opportunity that I see is with these platforms is oftentimes a lot of historical data. We see a lot of mainframe customers dealing with historical data that might be siloed away on virtual tape, right? They're sitting on virtual tape libraries. It takes weeks to get access to any one data element. And oftentimes you can't build net new experiences or applications on top of that data just because it is so locked away. By unlocking this historical data, you can actually start to make some more decisions within a historical context. Precisely, we're really focused on what we call data integrity. And data integrity is what we define as data that is accurate, it's consistent, and it's in context. That context could be in location context. It could be historical context. And I think this is a key opportunity to help you make more informed decisions based on trusted data if you've got that historical context. And then lastly, really, it's around there's an opportunity here to get more comprehensive use of your various business entities, right? We, with some of our offerings in the data quality and the data governance space, we're oftentimes working on customer 360 use cases, single view of X type use cases. And oftentimes bringing in this mission critical data can be very useful to successfully delivering on these types of projects. All right, with that said, then what are the challenges, right? All right, this makes sense, the opportunity makes sense. But what are the key challenges? So we've done a couple of surveys in the market, precisely, and these are the key challenges that respondents to our surveys have highlighted. Number one, really getting real time feeds of data. The 451 research has put out some numbers indicating that 37% of organizations have over 100 data silos. Imagine trying to pull data and then close those silos one by one doing full loads of data. Most of our customers are looking to get more real time insights into their different data silos. And so they're trying to implement things like change data capture, right? Leverage facilities like database logs, et cetera, in order to identify changes that are happening to those operational systems and pull them together for BI for building that new applications, et cetera. Another key challenge that we saw was shortage of skills and staff. Specifically, shortage of skills that can span the complexity of an i-series or a mainframe environment, as well as a modern cloud stack built on something like a Databricks, right? That seems to be a key struggle that we see organizations bump up against. Data accessibility, I think ties into this whole idea of eliminating data silos or putting in pipelines that help you deal with data silos. Budget, another key challenge for our customers and the reason why is, I say this often is that, hey, on the integration end, I am focused on building pipes that get data where it needs to be. And to be fair, most organizations are not worried about or not interested in investing their budget on maintenance around pipelines, right? They wanna spend their budget on innovation and actually building value on top of the data. Poor data quality continues to be a challenge, right? Customers don't trust their data. It's either not consistent across systems, it's not accurate or it doesn't necessarily have the fidelity and the context necessary to make decisions on. And then I think the last thing I'll speak to here is scalability, right? How do you integrate this data and build data pipelines that can deal with the scale of your business both today as well as your expected growth tomorrow? So this is the set of challenges that we saw based on this survey that we did. But there's one more challenge that I want to talk about and is why I feel like I can get overlooked a little bit. And that challenge is really cultural challenges. Cultural barriers within organizations are something that we see all the time. And the reason why is as follows, I mean, typically in our experience, organizations may embark on a data strategy where they are now, you know, let's say they're building out a lake house leveraging technology like Databricks, Azure Databricks. Typically, populating the data may start from some of the low hanging fruit, right? Talking to a SaaS endpoint is fairly straightforward, right? And yes, they evolve very quickly, but the data is well-defined, it abysed by a contract that the API specifies and, you know, onboarding it, there's a variety of tooling out there to assist with that. Typically, our customers will start there and then kind of work their way towards more of their mission critical systems. And time and time again, what I see is our customers who work on the main frame side of the house and who've got very large I-Series footprint, they have teams responsible for those systems that are typically siloed from the data teams. They're siloed from the teams responsible for actually onboarding the data into the cloud native platform. And because of that, oftentimes there are limitations and like I said, that governance model around who can install data, what ports can be open, who can actually directly access those platforms and that can actually create some friction that can introduce challenges in the data onboarding process. You know, what we see sometimes is, hey, the main frame team requires that no one touches the data that sits on the main frame and so, you know, they might do batch uploads or batch exports of data assets that the data team needs, you know, they'll do kind of batch exports on a nightly basis, which maybe that's fine for a while, but as organizations try to use data in a more real time or near real time basis, that doesn't quite work, right? A technology like changing a capture might be necessary and in order to implement a successful solution, oftentimes we need to work with customers on helping navigate and solve for any sort of cultural hurdles that they may run across in order to deliver a technically viable solution that meets the SLAs of the business, et cetera. So I think this one oftentimes doesn't get talked at as much but we see it as a real challenge and a barrier towards success. All right, so I'm gonna outline and dive in detail into kind of four key steps that we implement with our customers as it relates to successfully leveraging mission-critical data. And it's four kinds of things here. Excuse me. So number one, right, start small and identify some high-value silos and start to work to eliminate those. Number two, escaping the delay of batching. Batching can be costly, right? Actually moving large amounts of data every single time you need data is expensive to do and it prevents you from building that new applications and using your data in a more proactive fashion as opposed to a reactive fashion. You know, real-time data is only as good as how quickly it was delivered, right? Identifying opportunities to scale up. So this is, you know, one of the things that I see time and time again is once customers get some success with some initial data delivery and business teams can start using it, it actually just creates more demand. There's like a positive feedback loop that creates more demand for more variety, like a greater variety of data. And then the last piece that, again, we kind of help customers with here is finding ways to modernize existing applications. So we'll now jump into each one of these in a little bit more detail, but this is kind of the framework I'm gonna walk through next. All right, so eliminating silos, that was the first one that I mentioned. Key things that we help our customers with when it comes to eliminating silos, right? Try to leverage standard connectivity protocols wherever possible. Seems like a no-brainer, but oftentimes with these mission critical systems, that can be more difficult than you might expect. I mentioned the example before of, you know, more of a manual process where team A does kind of a periodic dump of data from systems that the data team actually requires. Well, typically how we deal with that is we try to leverage whatever standard connectivity protocol may exist, be it, you know, JDBC for some sort of database, SFTP for remote file system, or when it comes to the mainframe specifically, FTPS because SFTP is not fully implemented for the ZOS subsystem and doesn't kind of have all the knobs that you need or even Connector Act. That's the old NDM product. You know, we try to leverage those standard connectivity protocols wherever possible, given they're well understood, can be governed, et cetera. Another key thing, leveraging existing metadata, can be kind of difficult, especially as it relates to the mainframe. Copybooks are great. They provide really, really good metadata, but you know, oftentimes the problem with that is, you know, mainframe data doesn't necessarily tightly map to what a copybook may look like. You may have a numeric field defined in the copybook, but in reality, when you look at the VSAM dataset under the covers, the data itself does not quite match up with the numeric data type that the copybook is telling you. So while leveraging existing metadata is hugely useful and prevents you from having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to data interpretation, and it also promotes reusability, keep in mind that oftentimes you may need more data quality in there to help deal with data that may stick out, right? Ensuring encryption of data in flight at every point in the journey, again, kind of table stakes with these cloud use cases, but again, important. And I think lastly, we see our most successful customers have a flexibility when it comes to how they're delivering their data, right? Several of them may just do a one-way type replication from source to target. Others may broadcast where they want to have one feed of data going into their warehouse and then another feed kind of going straight into some sort of streaming bus for more real-time applications. Some may use a combination, but again, we oftentimes will work with our customers very closely in terms of figuring out, hey, for your use case and the outcomes you're targeting, what is the best data delivery topology or combination of topologies to leverage? And the next thing I would say is replicating data at the speed of business. You know, if you're building a net new application that is looking to improve customer experience, real-time data or near real-time data delivery is becoming, you know, it's important. One of the things that I see working with our customers is a lot of them are starting to treat data availability the way that our HA customer is kind of treat infrastructure availability, right? They, you know, I've got customers that, you know, say 500 milliseconds between event on my operational system and delivery within my target system is too much, right? So definitely seeing more of an increase and more pressure on data delivery speed. So key things to leverage here. Log-based changes to capture techniques are very, very useful, right? They help us identify transactions as they commit or as they occur. We're able to minimize our impact to those online backends and try to use whatever mechanisms may exist, right? If it's DB2 on the mainframe, it's an ISIP 306 interface or it's a VCM data set. It could be CICS controlled or UCICS. We can use journals on the i-series, redo and archive logs in an Oracle environment. But the key point here is kind of leverage what's available to you to identify changes and then perform the data translation conversion off-platform wherever possible. This is really important for those critical environments that are pushing through lots of transactions, right?  We've actually, you know, we're doing this in our customer environments in certain cases, we've got, you know, customers pushing a billion and a half transactions in a four-hour window, right? So these data volumes are serious and it's one of those things where we actually, we adopt these practices in order to scale to the needs of the business. So with that, I would say, like I mentioned before, successful data delivery drives increased demand. That's what I see time and time again. And it's not a linear journey from one thing to another, right? We see customers enter in at various points in the journey. A lot of our customers, we see start by, you know, saying, hey, I've got this imperative to have more of a real-time insight into my customer behavior. And so I'm going to leverage the change data capture technique we talked about before in conjunction with a platform like Kafka. So I can build a real-time application, right? That then is built off of Kafka. We see other customers say, you know what? I've got this existing warehousing process that I want to modernize. Today I've deployed this in my data center. I'm responsible for allocating, you know, not just software, but also hardware requirements have to maintain it. And it doesn't quite scale to what I need. I can't easily share data. So they may start out their journey with a use case with Snowflake, right? But typically, like I said before, successful data delivery and on-time fast data delivery drives increased demand for more data. So we'll oftentimes then see customers expand to multiple targets, right? So they may adopt like a broadcast technology to send data to both Snowflake and Kafka at the same time. Or they may even leverage the hyperscaler platform to drive a new use case around modernizing existing applications. And actually on that note, what I would say here is they're, you know, once you kind of eliminated these silos, set up these real-time pipelines and feeds of data from the operational system into the cloud platform. There's a couple of things that you can then do. You can actually now, you know, modernize more than just data. There's a couple of forms that this could take, right? Specifically when it comes to the mainframe, one of the things that we often work with customers on is migrating some of their mainframe sort applications, right? So they've got sort applications, they may be moving it into a re-hosting environment built on something like micro-focus. You know, in addition to replicating the data, we may act as kind of the sort accelerator for them under the covers as they migrate those applications, you know? It was written a while back. We don't want to rebuild it. It's not, there's no business case to rewrite it in a, you know, in a more modern language, but it's still really important and I want to just kind of lift and shift it. That's kind of, that's that set of modernization that I would speak to. The other kind of modernization that I would say changing to capture assists with is around rebuilding an application, right? So almost leveraging data integration technologies to serve like an application integration use case. So in this example, what I mean is, let's say you've got application A running on an i-series platform and you want to kind of migrate it to a more modern stack inside of AWS. Well, if the, you know, application generating the data is going to continue running on the i-series, we can actually use change into capture to replicate that data out into AWS into a variety of different endpoints. If it's, you know, Kafka is the one that we see as most popular, but it could be a database just as easily. You know, it provides an opportunity to now, now that you've got a real time feed of data from the generating application on the i-series, you can now rebuild an application running natively on AWS using that real time data feed. That's something that we've done with customers before, you know, they typically will rebuild the application, but by performing that data integration and serving is that data pipeline from source to target, we can help facilitate that process, make it easier. So with that, I actually do want to jump into a customer story that kind of shows this in action. So this is with Sky TV. Sky TV was in a indigital transformation mode, right? There's a C level initiative to kind of consolidate tool sets, move a lot of their operations and analytics into their AWS environment. And Sky had standardized on Snowflake on AWS as being their core platform for analytics on AWS and BI. Now, like I mentioned earlier, they were doing just fine kind of onboarding a lot of their different data assets, but they actually hit a wall when it came to their mission critical data. Now their mission critical data consisted of, you know, business critical assets such as their billing application, subscriber management, chart of accounts, all of that runs on their IVMI. And each one of those had their own file structure. So actually building some sort of ETL process was not going to work for them. They actually had an old legacy ETL process that they built for themselves, you know, it was bespoke, but it was inflexible, right? It took four to 10 hours to run each job, was prone to network issues if there are outages, that this is going to become a worse problem when they were trying to go from ground to cloud, right? So it was just not feasible to kind of take this and re-oriented towards a more cloud-native model built on Snowflake. So what they really wanted was, they wanted something about feed data into Snowflake more automated without having to impact IT, really allow IT to focus more on kind of high value contributions to the business. And so they actually leveraged precisely our connect solution in conjunction with Snowflake to do this. So essentially they deployed connect, leveraged our change data capture technology on the iSeries to actually identify changes that were happening on that operational platform. And then we replicated that out to Snowflake on AWS. What this ultimately allows for them to do is now share with sales a more current view of subscriber behavior, right? They're no longer delayed by four to 10 hours for these ETL processes to run if they even ran successfully. The data delivery is more automated, it's more near real time. And IT is actually freed up now. They're no longer stuck kind of building and maintaining some of these slow running batch ETL processes, right there now, they're no longer rebuilding stuff. They can onboard new data assets in minutes to hours instead of writing new code. And they're no longer typed to batch windows that four to 10 hours now occurs transaction by transaction leveraging connect, right? So they can deliver data now in minutes. And now they can start doing some more innovation on top of Snowflake, building new applications, leaving the IBMI back ends running unchanged. So the IBMI still runs their business, all those business critical systems continue to run there. And the data served to Snowflake and can be opened up to a variety of different lines of business, not just sales. So that silos broken down, it's driving a need for more data from their IT teams. And they're able to deliver on this digital transformation initiative. So I think the, you know, key takeaways I'd stress here, I really do see these mission critical data assets as being critical to helping organizations fulfill the promises of digital modernization. It's great to be able to onboard data from, you know, kind of modern data sources. And it's a great way to start proving out value, but I don't think the promise is fulfilled until you've solved for the complexity and the variety and the velocity of all your different data within the enterprise. I don't think that promise gets fulfilled until you've tackled this last leg of the journey. I think the other thing I would stress here as a takeaway is the challenges that we see organizations face time and time again. Yes, they are technical, but there are also organizational challenges that need to be solved for. Number three, I would say, prove out and get some early wins. Like I said, successful data delivery just drives demand for more data. And typically we're seeing our most successful customers have moved to near real-time data delivery wherever possible. And then I think the last piece here, right, is, you know, once you've unlocked that data, there's an opportunity to intelligently modernize your applications, be it kind of doing a lift and shift with like a mainframe sort card rehosting type application or, you know, rebuilding something that may be more strategic that you want to surface. Right, there are a bunch of different opportunities and, you know, we have precisely would love to chat with you about opportunities to do that, best practices that we've seen work at other customers and more. We do work with, you know, 99 of the Fortune 100 and we've got over 12,000 customers globally. So we've definitely seen a lot of different patterns play out over the years. And we'd love to chat with you on that. So with that, let me turn it over to questions. I think, Shannon, you may be monitoring the thing as well. Yeah, if you have questions for Ashwin, please feel free to submit them in the Q and A portion of your screen. And just a reminder to answer the most commonly asked questions, just a reminder, I will send a follow-up email by end of day Thursday with links to the slides and links to the recording. So diving in here, Ashwin, what were the sources for the growth trends data that you showed? Yeah, so we got some of the data from a couple of BNC reports, the skills information was through a survey that precisely conducted and then some of the market projections, I believe. I have to double check that, I believe it was through markets and markets, but I can double check that. Okay, then I'll give everyone just a moment here to answer, to submit any additional questions that they have. So Ashwin, in this perspective, what's the biggest aha moment that your customers find when they install precisely to solve these problems? That's a good question. I think the biggest aha moment for our customers is, I think how data integration can be an enabler, right? So I think I talked about how data delivery can drive more demand, right? Or success beget success, the positive feedback loop. But I think it's interesting how quickly we'll see customers identify new use cases because they've successfully onboarded this really complex, they successfully onboarded this really complex data asset, they're now doing it at scale and seeing them kind of identify new use cases is probably the most interesting thing once they've deployed us, right? And that could be a new use case in the integration space that involves precisely, that could be a new use case that's completely unrelated to precisely but it's something new they can do with the data. Or it could also be kind of a third category where they actually identify a deficiency in their existing kind of data management, and their kind of data management architecture where they may realize, you know what? We don't quite have the observability into our data that we thought we did. We may need to more closely modify, sorry, may need to more closely monitor kind of our data, the quality of it and figure out how we take corrective action on it. So there are other kind of data integrity challenges that come up that I've seen time and time again after they've successfully deployed us, right? So it's pretty interesting the kind of mix, the mix of reactions we'll typically see. That's amazing. Again, I want to give everyone a little opportunity just to submit any questions in the Q&A portion. Anything you want to add to Ashwin, anything that you felt that you didn't dive into enough or that commonly comes up? Yeah, maybe the other thing I would just mention here is, you know, I think I spoke today about the, about what we do with our customers on on-premises, right? In terms of, you know, in terms of what we do with our on-prem Connect product, we talked about the Sky use case. One of the trends that we're seeing increasingly with our customer base is, you know, as they're moving their warehousing to SaaS offerings, as they're moving a lot of their different, as they're working with kind of a lot of different data, they also want to start moving their integration to more of a SaaS type deployment model. And so that's kind of where our data integrity suite is coming in. So if you've been following precisely or you've heard of us, you may have heard about our data integrity suite and really what it is, it's a set of interoperable modules that help customers deliver on key data integrity initiatives. And so we've actually taken this core integration capability and brought it into our data integrity suite. So, you know, whether you want to deploy these capabilities as software in your environment or whether you want to use our data integrity suite, we can actually help you solve these processes. We can help you solve these processes, you know, in a very holistic fashion based on the needs of your business. You know, we leverage a hybrid architecture so you can kind of maintain ownership of your data as it's moved around, but it's one of those exciting growth areas for us. So it is another thing I just would want to call attention to as well. Perfect, and we do have some questions coming in now. So Ashwin, you know, with respect to cybersecurity, what thoughts on risks that may or can be overlooked? It's a good question. I think I'm going, I think I see this one increasingly coming up with our public cloud use cases. So we've got, you know, a good number of customers who today are, like I said, building a new application in AWS, for example, based on data that's coming from their mainframe backends in the data center. And increasingly what they're trying to do is they're trying to put together an extra layer of security, specifically around application level encryption, right? So the data in-flight on the wire, yeah, it's encrypted while we, you know, replicate it out. But once it lands, they want to be able to protect PII data. So that way, even if someone were inspecting that data, say within Kafka, only those authorized to work with that data could actually decrypt it, detokenize it, et cetera. So that's one of those areas that I do see, you know, we see customer dealing with that today. We're working on some solutions of precisely and putting some thinking around how we can help customers with that kind of application level encryption while maintaining the performance that we're known for. But that's one area that I think is important to keep in mind, right? I think the other thing, just as it relates to data security, is you know, having a good handle on where your data is being processed. So when I talked about our data integrity suite before I mentioned that it is a SaaS offering, but we actually do have more of a hybrid SaaS flexibility with deploying data integration pipelines. So you can actually manage it in your data center or in your private cloud or in your public cloud VPC, right? We don't actually touch your data. So I think that's an important thing to consider as well, right? Because we work with really heavily regulated mainframe environments where you can't have the public cloud just touching the mainframe, right? So that's kind of another area where we see some customer, some good customer feedback from and interesting use cases around. I like it. So how is it that precisely CDC can integrate with operational mainframe data without adversely impacting that performance, that platform's performance? That's a good question. So we typically, I think it's, there's two mechanisms, right? Or there's two key things I would stress. Number one, just kind of leveraging the facilities the mainframe provides us without putting any kind of, you know, mainframes got things like different user exits and whatever that can oftentimes choke performance. So we try to stay away from that wherever possible. That's number one. So that protects the application itself. The other piece that I think I mentioned before on the slide is really being intentional about where the data processing happens.  So by doing that off-platform, we help kind of reduce the cost of doing this kind of a workload and protecting the mainframe. But, you know, if there is more, you know, desire to go more in depth on it, we're happy to have an in-depth call with our technical team. Love it. And Ashwin, do you work with SAP data like you do mainframe and IBMI? Yeah. So we do have a fairly large SAP business actually. For those who may not be familiar, we actually acquired Wind Shuttle last year and they've got a really compelling set of capabilities in the SAP automation space. And so we do have some interesting integration use cases that we perform with SAP to help customers automate their business processes and things of that nature. You know, we're obviously continuing to work with customers around potentially new use cases to help with analytics and things like that with SAP data, but that's something we're currently working on. From an environmental, social, and our governance perspective, to what degree does precisely facilitate an organization's ability to address any of its components? That's great. So we do not, you know, we don't have an ESG offering, right? But our tools and what we offer from a data integrity perspective does help companies address ESG initiatives. I think specifically as it relates to some of our data, so we precisely as a fairly large data business where we can help provide third-party data around, you know, around a variety of different things, be it dynamic weather, demographics, you know, and a whole host of things, kind of, we acquired a business called Place IQ that works kind of in the, I believe, in the marketing space. So I would say definitely the auxiliary third-party data that we offer can be put towards these kinds of ESG initiatives. And we do have a couple of, you know, field teams who work with our customers on helping facilitate these kinds of initiatives. But I would say our core technology is not an ESG technology. We help support those initiatives through the data integrity messaging, essentially. It's a good question. Yes, indeed. We have done quite a few webinars with precisely on governance and the capabilities of data governance within the tool. Very nice. Well, that's currently all the questions that we have right now. Anything you want to wrap up with, Ashton, before I give some people some time back? Yeah, I think that's all I had. I mean, really hope this session was useful to you all and I appreciate the time and the opportunity to speak with you today. You know, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any challenges or needs in the data integrity space around integration, data governance, data enrichment, LI, data quality and observability. You know, we're happy to help. It's what keeps us getting up for work every day. You know, it's a pretty exciting space to be in. So again, thanks for the time and the opportunity to present to you. Indeed, thank you so much. And thanks to Precisely for sponsoring today's webinar. Again, just a reminder to everybody, I will send a follow-up email by end of day Thursday for this webinar with links to the slides and links to the recording. Ashton, thank you so much. No problem. Thank you, Shannon. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, everyone.


So, if you're someone who lives in the state of Utah and you recently tried to access an adult website for a little bit of personal time, you might have found that you no longer have access to some of your favorite websites. And there's a good reason for that. It's because some adult entertainment websites are actually blocking access to people in Utah in protest of a law that just went into effect on May 2, which requires ID to verify age, and predictably searches for a VPN have skyrocketed in the state as a direct result of people with Utah IP addresses being banned from accessing these websites. But as fun as it may be to laugh at the thought of a bunch of sexually repressed Mormons being denied access to their favorite adult websites, I respect this move by websites because what they did here was actually very meaningful. One hub, for example, in restricting access to people who live in Utah, they are losing a lot of revenue, perhaps thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. But in doing so, they're making a really powerful statement about the importance of digital rights that probably none of us would have actually heard about had they not done this. But without further ado, here's the law that they are protesting. It's called online pornography viewing age requirements, which was signed into law by the governor on March 14th. And as I said, it just went into effect, and it creates legal penalties for distributors of adult content that allow minors to view their content. And furthermore, it requires ID to verify someone's age. Now, the way that it worked before was that if you tried to go to a pornographic website like Pornhub, for example, there'd be a little pop-up that would say this is content intended for people 18 years of age or older, and you would be required to put in your birthday. But I mean, there was never anything really stopping a minor from just lying about their age and then getting access to the website. This is what I did when I was a teenager. This is what I'm sure many of you have done. So in theory, if you force somebody to input information from their ID or driver's license, that's going to guarantee that minors can no longer lie about their ages. And at face value, it's easy to be sympathetic towards that argument, that this is going to stop minors from accessing pornographic content. Now the problem is that, and this may seem a little bit counterintuitive, this could end up harming minors more and leading to them gaining access to even worse content. And furthermore, it's a problem because it establishes a dangerous new precedent of government censorship on websites that didn't previously exist. And once you open Pandora's box to that, you can't really go back. It's hard to put the cat back in the bag if you know what I mean. As Vice explains, experts say that age verification doesn't work to protect children online and only works to drive material that is harmful to minors to less safe spaces on the internet while exposing adults to more risk of identity theft, private data hacks, and extortion. Immediately after SB 287 passed the House and Senate in Utah, residents there started discussing how best to use virtual private networks to keep accessing porn. So in other words, this isn't going to have the intended effect that lawmakers in Utah hope that it does. And now when you try to access Pornhub, if you have a Utah IP address, you'll be met with a message from adult performer Sherry DeVille, who explains precisely why laws like this are absolutely harmful and must be opposed. As you may know, your elected officials have required us to verify your age before granting you access to our website. While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk. In addition, mandating age verification without proper enforcement gives platforms the opportunity to choose whether or not to comply. As we've seen in other states, this just drives traffic to sites with far fewer safety measures in place. Very few sites are able to compare to the robust trust and safety measures we currently have in place. In order to protect children and user privacy, any legislation must be enforced against all platforms offering adult content. The safety of our users is one of our biggest concerns. However, the best and most effective solution for protecting children and adults alike is to identify users by their device and allow access to age-restricted materials and websites based on that identification. Until a real solution is offered, we've made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in your region. Please contact your representatives and demand device-based verification solutions that make the internet safer while also respecting your privacy. Very well said. Now, for a moment here, just consider where this could take us to if we allow this to be precedent. I mean, it could start with pornographic material, but it could lead to censorship with regard to reproductive health. It could be expanded to LGBTQ-less content.   I mean, they're already claiming that drag queen story hour is tantamount to the sexualization of children. So I mean, what's to stop them from deeming queer-affirming sites as porn?  Furthermore, what happens if you now need an ID to access a particular political or government website, but you don't have an ID? I mean, the implications of this are deeply unsettling. And all of this is possible only if we allow states like Utah to get away with these insoriously restrictions on websites. And they're already trying to expand ID verification to non-pornographic websites in case you weren't already aware. As CNN explains, porn sites aren't the only ones to face calls for age verification. State and federal lawmakers have increasingly pushed to mandate a minimum age for social media use, too. Last week, U.S. senators proposed a nationwide ban on social media use for children under 13. Age requirements for social media websites have also been approved in Arkansas. So we are entering dangerous territory here. Now do I think that social media is harmful to young people? Absolutely. I think it's harmful to all of us, to be frank. But the solution isn't for a sensorious nanny state to step in and larp his parents. These solutions could lead to a future of internet censorship that would harm everyone. It's not just lefties and liberals. It's Republicans as well who could be harmed by this. Now Utah, believe it or not, isn't the first state to opt for ID verification. A similar law actually went into effect in Louisiana not that long ago. CNN continues, In Louisiana, one of the country's first age requirements for adult websites went into effect in January. Pornhub, which says it receives 130 million visitors a day, is still available in Louisiana despite the age verification law. Users accessing Pornhub within Louisiana are presented with a different webpage that directs them to verify their age with the state's digital ID system, known as LA Wallet. A spokesperson for the site told CNN that since the Louisiana law went into effect, traffic from the state has fallen by 80%. The spokesperson added that unlike Louisiana, Utah lacks a similar digital ID system. Now I'm not sure what the minor to adult ratio is of people trying to access pornographic websites in Louisiana. Honestly, you don't know if you could even quantify that data. But if traffic fell by 80%, that almost looks like an effect of porn ban. So we could be witnessing the emergence of the next moral panic where kids once again are being used by conservatives to hide their theocratic agenda that ultimately ends in them restricting freedom for adults. Banning porn is something that they can't do because that would violate the First Amendment. But if they impose new restrictions specifically on the internet, well you can basically produce the same outcome virtually. But lawmakers, they do this all the time, they often try to impose new restrictions on the rights for adults under the pretense of protecting kids. And we all need to be aware that this is what they do and this will always be their go-to tactic because these arguments are persuasive, they work. Well intentioned people see that and they think, well I want to protect kids and they fall for it. Lizzo, for example, has been promoting the Kids Online Safety Act as a way to make social media a safer place for minors by restricting access to the types of content that they see. And Lizzo is a good person. I don't know her personally, but just like knowing what she stands for and what she says, she seems like a really good well intentioned person so it makes sense that she would support a bill that would, for instance, restrict social media websites from sharing content that could promote eating disorders, for example, with young girls. Her intentions here are pure, that's undeniable. But legislation that she's promoting would end up hurting more than helping. And a digital rights organization, Fight for the Future, has launched a petition to try to get her attention to explain to her that this bill is a Trojan horse, nothing more, it's going to do more harm than good. They explain COSA would allow state attorneys general, think Ken Paxton from Texas, who was actively investigating the families of trans children, to dictate what content platforms are allowed to recommend to underage users. While the bill's supporters fantasize that this will incentivize platforms to moderate more responsibly, for example, by removing content promoting eating disorders, the reality is that they will simply moderate in a more risk-averse way, for example, by suppressing all content where eating disorders are discussed at all, even if it's important self-help content or content directing young people to resources for support. They add, the bill has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ and human rights organization in the United States, including the ACLU, GLAAD, and the National Center for Transgender Equality, because it would actually make kids less safe, not more safe, and could lead to widespread censorship of LGBTQ content, body positive content, content related to reproductive health care, and other important topics for young people. And again, I want to emphasize that I know that Lizzo wouldn't intentionally support legislation if she knew that it harmed queer youth, but these lawmakers, they use Orwellian language in these bills, and they do that to pray on our unnatural instincts to protect vulnerable people. And it's not just Republicans to be clear. There are Democrats who support COSA as well, because they think that social media giants aren't doing enough to police content on their platforms. And we have to be aware of this. We, as informed individuals, need to make others aware of this as well. Even politically savvy people get duped sometimes. For example, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, they voted for FOSTA and CESTA in an effort to combat human trafficking, but the passage of that legislation has been correlated with an increase in violence against sex workers. And this is something that sex workers said would happen at the time when the bill was being discussed. So the takeaway is that we need to listen to vulnerable and marginalized communities, and we also need to take our own digital rights seriously, because it is constantly under attack. So we have to vociferously push back against laws like this, the one in Utah, the one in Louisiana, and other ones being proposed. Because government censorship is one of those instances where it's hard to undo once it's done, right? You'll see a lot of momentum only in one direction, because if the government thinks that they can get away with these censorious laws by naming them misleading things, they're going to keep doing it. And it's like death by a thousand cuts. Little by little, state after state is going to transform the internet into an entirely different place. So I really respect Pornhub here, kudos to them for standing up. We all need to do better about speaking out to support our digital rights, but I guess I'll leave you with this.


Very honored to join you at this evening's special dinner to celebrate three distinguished Nigerians who earlier today were conferred the prestigious National Order of Merit Award by His Excellency the President, President Mohammed Buhari. But here this evening we are honored also by the company of some of the past National Merit Award laureates and if they are here I think about three or four of them I hear they should just wave so that we can also give them a round of applause. Professor Augustine M.O.S. Sebre, here is the 2006 award recipient in engineering and technology. Professor Oye Gurejie M.M.O.M. is the 2008 recipient of the award in medicine and Professor Samuel Ohagboulam who is the 2012 M.M.M. award recipient in medicine and is currently one of the board members of our governing board of the NNMA. I'm delighted to observe that since this award was instituted in 1979 we now have 79 distinguished Nigerians who are laureates of the Nigerian National Order of Merit. For this evening we celebrate the three latest laureates Dr. Olayinka Oolutwe or Professor Olayinka Oolutwe who is honored for his unique contributions in the field of fetal surgery and Professor Godwin Samuel Ekaguri for pioneering new approaches in the branch of mathematical physics known as axiomatic quantum field theory and Professor Charles G.K. Chidume for his outstanding contributions in mathematics, physics and engineering. Professor Chidume's award as we know is posthumous as he sadly passed on before the conferment may his memory always be blessed. The contributions of our new laureates have had a real world impact in their respective fields. Professor Chidume's work has generated practical applications in understanding how system thinking is used in project management, logistics and modeling. It also addresses a wide range of problems in economics, in finance, in image reconstruction, in ecology, in transportation, in network elasticity and optimization. Professor Olutwe is a fetal and pediatric surgeon who led a team of surgeons who in 2016 in a feat that has been held as the first of its kind performed a surgical procedure on a fetus with a tumor that develops before birth and grows from a baby's tailbone. The procedure involved bringing the fetus out of the mother's womb, removing the tumor during a five-hour operation and placing the fetus back in the mother's womb and the mother then carried the baby to full term. His work on fetal anatomy including the healing of wounds in fetuses is broadening understanding of how we can address wounds even in adults. Professor Ehagura's work has deepened understanding of the fundamental architecture of the universe and the fabric of reality itself. In addition to this he has provided strong leadership for efforts to build research capacity in mathematical sciences in Nigeria. For these are probably just cursory simplifications of the significance of our awardees achievements. What is indisputable is that each of them has broadened the horizons of knowledge in their respective fields of endeavor. But two things will stand out in these particular awards and especially when we refer to these high achieving Nigerians. The first is one is that this is one of those occasions where we gather not to celebrate people on account of their power, status or wealth but on account of their real achievements, their achievements that make a difference in the lives of so many not just here but all around the world. And at the heart of the rationale for these awards is the idea that a nation perpetuates the sort of behavior that it rewards. Promoting the growth of innovation of diligence and productivity and related values requires that the practitioners and exemplars of such values are adequately rewarded and celebrated. This is what the merit awards are all about. They are all about celebrating what we want to attract to this nation, celebrating what we want to enthrone in this nation which is excellence, innovation and hard work. Second is that in reflecting upon the glittering cast of Nigerians that have received this award over the years have been struck by at least one thing and that is the variety of the achievement but also the diversity of the origins of those who have earned these awards. The award selection process is entirely indifferent to whatever confessional persuasions, ethnic origins or partisan allegiances of the recipients. It is sensitive only to the quality of their accomplishments and often in our national discourse we tend to juxtapose the idea of merit without of representation as though they are mutually exclusive. And it is suggested that there is an inherently natural disparity in geographical distribution of talent but that's not so. What this distinguished array of lorex from all over the country that have assembled over the years shows us is that the Nigerian genius for achievement can be found in every corner of our country in literally every nook and cranny of our country. Two imperatives immediately spring forth from such a realization. The first is that we must ensure that we provide opportunities on a mass scale to enable all our citizens actualize their highest potential and in this effort we must pay more attention in particular to the education of girls because this is the half of our population that has been neglected especially with respect to education. In doing so we will renew our pantheon of world-beating achievers in every generation and continually rediscover the human capital for perpetual national growth. Secondly I'm reminded of one of the past Order of Merit Loretz Professor Chinua Chebe who admonished us to always pick our first 11 for national tasks our best 11. In his words whenever merit is set aside by prejudice of whatever origin individual citizens as well as the nation itself are victimized. If the pantheon of the Order of Merit reflects a representative meritocracy is it not possible to apply the same standards in selecting those that we choose for leadership at all levels? Democracy grants us not just the right to freely choose our leaders but the opportunity also to choose the best of us irrespective of sectional or sectarian considerations. So today's awardees and their predecessors represent the zenith of accomplishment the exploits tell us that we are truly capable as a people of the greatest heights the greatest achievements of in the fields of science in their arts and every other aspect of human endeavor and that we could wonder would swear as saw as high as we wish so long as we do not subject ourselves to the gravitational pull of parochialism and prejudice. If we are truly to make these standards that we've seen today the accomplishments that we've seen today mainstream in our in our society and in the way that we define our national traits then we must apply the same principles that informed their selection in recruiting those who will represent this nation in every endeavor whether it is in sports or in public service. Let me once again congratulate all the laureates of the NNMA and their families and the chairman and members of the board of the NNMA and indeed all their associates and to also say that just as the chairman of the board has warned that we are not supposed to make long speeches today we are we have dinner so we have to get to the meat of the matter if you'll pardon the pond as quickly as possible but congratulations to all our laureates congratulations to all members of the family and we should save travels when you return home thank you


Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. I've just returned from the grocery store So I thought I'd do a little video blog and in terms of week three of my low-fat diet kicking off week three What I'm buying what I'm eating what I'm learning about it, which is quite a lot at the moment. So I'm on now starting week three of the low-fat diet today is Sunday in Israel So it's actually the day that the week starts here. It's like Monday in normal countries Let's say it's actually a few countries in the Middle East work like this and this is going to be the third week I'm on the low-fat diet. So I got moved on to a low-fat diet after seeing a dietitian I've had my gallbladder out for just a little bit over two years now and I'm one of the minority of people that have had a lot of difficulties after the surgery in terms of dyspepsia functional dyspepsia, which is a lot not a lot of fun after eating things and When I saw a dietitian she said okay, you should go Onto a low-fat diet now So that's that's why I'm doing it. I just have to say at the three week milestone To say this has been a breakthrough for me would be like an understatement This is the first thing in two years since the surgery. I've tried different medications. I've tried supplements. I've tried Twisting my body in certain ways. This is the first thing That's made a really really appreciable difference in a good way in reducing my symptoms So I'm really really excited about it. I'm feeling less bloated. I'm feeling less heavy I'm feeling less gassy. I'm feeling less burpy everything not 100% there yet, but it's been a big big help and That's been massively massively Psychologically helpful because I kind of feel okay, so there's something that can help It's also been motivating. I was in town a few days ago looking at You know food options and I saw falafel shawarma hamburgers And then when you do that you really appreciate how high fat a lot of junk food is So what I did I went ahead and got myself a Salad and I just kind of had this moment where I was like looking at a chip store And I was like I would love to be eating this right now, but I know it's not worth the it's not Worth feeling disgusting and that's what happens for me is When I get these feelings of bloating, which I never had before the surgery and if I ever Laughed at anybody for having bloating. I seek your apology because it's horrible. I get bloated and then I feel mentally Bad it's like this freaky connection. I mean I guess it makes sense because you're feeling like all kind of just It's not a nice feeling and that puts me in a really bad mood So it's just when I kind of thought about that. Do I want to go there? It was kind of an easy decision I did have a cheat day last night where I ate a bunch of pizza very very not low-fast and really enjoyed the pizza But yeah, I felt gross afterwards. So it's kind of I'm motivated at the moment to keep going with it So as I am on week three I am really in the early stages of learning and I'm doing this kind of Weekly shop on a Monday just to like grab some new things and try out some new things But we're very much learning as I go along now What I know so far is that low-fast the threshold is very low at 3% and 1.5% for liquids So you don't have a lot of room to wiggle with there So it's actually not that easy to find foods that are that low-fat But it definitely is possible and it's just a case of reading a lot of nutritional labels now This is technically a little bit over the low-fat threshold So as I mentioned in the first video blog because this is kind of a massive massive dietary change for me I'm giving myself a bit of time just to like adapt to it So I am looking for those kind of 0.5% cheeses those 1% fat cheeses, but just to have something in the fridge My main concern right now is not eating stuff like pizza is I want to always always have something there That's ready to go so that I don't just get lazy and order pizza or a burger because that's gonna Be a lot more than 5% fat one thing I would like to say or that I've learned is that low-fat's quite deceptive Things you assume would be there's a lot of little details to figure out I'll give you one of them. I found out yesterday oatmeal and that's a very common recommendation is to have a lot of oatmeal If you're low fat, that's actually quite a high fat grain as grains go.  Some will be a little bit different. I'm sure but I read it last night and I checked it out I said that's really surprising. So for instance one of my things I'm doing this week is I'm learning how to cook non-oatmeals. Well, not really oatmeal's but porridge is so I'm learning how to do a burger porridge. I'm learning how to do a rice porridge. I'm watching lots of cooking videos I'm printing lots of recipes. I'm trying basically one new thing each day So that my repertoire is growing quite quickly. That's my aim. So low-fat doesn't mean healthy So here's the first thing on our on my show and tell list for this week shopping This is written here in Hebrew shawarma shawarma is really good But in terms of meat Turkey is like your best friends. This is basically turkey and you can see here. It says It says two percent two grams of fat per 100 grams So I've been spending a lot of time as I mentioned reading these nutritional labels and you get a feel very quickly for watts low fat So turkey is golden. So this kind of stuff is definitely not healthy. There's kind of sliced deli meat. It's very preserved This has a sodium warning on it. This is not healthy Not health food, but it is low fat. So again, it's something I can have in my freezer or my fridge And I'll know that's good to go in terms of yogurt. Um, I accidentally bought this thinking it was zero percent because they do have those It's actually three percent, but still pretty low fat in terms of dairy Now some people as I mentioned do completely cut out dairy and wheat alongside low fat I'm just trying to keep it. Um ease my way into it. Okay another discovery this week was tuna and I was under the mistaken assumption that tuna is a fatty fish Not the case tuna is actually a very lean fish But there is a big difference in the fat content in whether you buy tuna in water or in oil So I always bought my tuna in oil and when I looked up the nutritional label In water, I was very very very pleasantly surprised. You can see here total fat per 100 grams Zero point six percent. So it's really really lean in fact So therefore once I discovered that water preserved tuna was this low in fat This is another golden food to have in your low fat food pantry. So I bought like this is a four pack I think I bought like 24 cans of tuna now. I know with tuna. There's a mercury thing You don't want to be eating it morning noon and night But I figured if I went through two or three cans per week, I'd probably go through tuna Start going through tuna quite quickly.  It's like figuring out a series of alternatives Okay, so finding dressing that's low fat and the supermarket in israel and mayonnaise. I couldn't find There are light mayonnaise's but you look at the nutritional label and you see they're like 40 50 fat.  I couldn't find any that were actually really low fat So, um, what else am I buying? So, uh, quinoa is a good one and this one has um, it's different fat content listed here for If you uh, if it's dry or cooked It says if it's cooked here, it's 1.5 fat 1.5 grams per 100 of fat. So that's low So again having lots of grains on hand quinoa, bulgur, rice, stuff like that If you are eating gluten is I think a no-brainer for this diet um Rice cakes. I really don't love I have to be honest. I haven't made peace with rice cakes yet But uh, they are a good thing to have now one thing I'm really really eating a lot of at the moment and perhaps this is why I'm feeling Quite good right now is I'm eating a lot of fruit and veg. So I think that When you're going over to this low-fat way of eating it's kind of you do have these moments where You're going out and you're looking at your people eating hamburgers and hot dogs and uh, you know Schwurma and falafel if you live where I do in Israel and you feel very very Bad or sad But if you think about what you can eat, it's definitely harder to find this kind of food out So last week I had salad out a couple of times We got a falafel salad in once and I also tried out a chicken salad from a hamburger place Which I wasn't really that uh blown away by so As I said, I think I'm going to be doing a lot more of my own cooking In this new way of eating so big bag of cucumbers, which I've just managed to drop all over the ground But I can show you at least one cucumber. So that's another thing. I'm just eating lots of salad I'm eating salad for you know three times a day at the moment basically, which is great And uh, just just fruits as well some oranges or am I shopping back here, too As well as some parsley tabouleh is is a good recipe that can be low fat So if you've got your grain you've got your maybe you want to add a bit of cheese a bit of bulgur and chop up lots of parsley And you've got yourself some tabouleh Lemons are another good thing I'm buying at the moment you want to they're very They're a basically fat free way to quickly add some flavor to something like tabouleh or another dish so Learning these hacks I would say as they go along day by day week by week But it is going really really well and I'm feeling Really really good and therefore it's kind of easy to motivate myself to eat like this because I see the improvement and therefore I want to stick with the improvement So basically in summary week three the the things I figured out on this week Low tuna stored in oil is very low fat By the way, there is a great website that you can put in a category of food And it'll tell you you get a ranking from from you know from zero upwards of the fat content I'll put a link to it.  So that's it basically in terms of week three shopping for this diet As I mentioned, I think it's really really going well so far It is it does strike me as strange that low fat has become so uncool So quickly which is partially why I'm putting these video blogs up because I just want to show people that people are still doing it that it can be done And I want to just kind of I guess I'm open sourcing My process of learning how to eat like this. So this is going to be This is just the start of this week and I'm sure I'm going to be learning and trying out new things during this Thank you guys for watching more videos coming soon


I want to express my sincere sadness over last night's senseless violence in Wilkinsburg. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and the friends of the victims of this terrible tragedy. Before I arrived I received a briefing on last night's shooting from county officials including County Executive Fitzgerald. Mayor Paduto was on that call also. And I want to commend local law enforcement for their swift response and I want to assure you that the state police, Pennsylvania state police is monitoring the situation and all of us at the state stand ready to offer and provide whatever assistance the city and the county would like us to provide. We all again express our deepest sympathy to the family. We don't know all the details yet of last night's tragedy but what we do know is that urban communities like Wilkinsburg and other towns and cities across Pennsylvania like Pittsburgh and like my own town of York, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia were just two nights ago in Philadelphia there were six people killed. We know they know all too well the horrific nature of gun violence in their neighborhoods. In Wilkinsburg 40%, 40% of the people live in poverty right here in the Pittsburgh area. There are four of the most impoverished school districts in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania right here in Pittsburgh. Gun violence is tied to poverty and we have to find ways to address the root causes of poverty in communities across Pennsylvania including in Wilkinsburg. I am working to restore the detrimental funding cuts to mental health programs that directly impact counties and municipalities across Pennsylvania but we need to do more in Harrisburg to support mental health services. We also must make sure that guns do not end up in the hands of criminals. We must make sure that we take steps toward improving background check laws and prevent criminals from gaining access to firearms. Mass shootings happen too often in this country and urban gun violence plays communities across the country and right here in Pennsylvania we have to do what we can to find a solution.


The e-consultant model of care is an outpatient substitution approach which has been evaluated and implemented extensively internationally. It provides an asynchronous, digital, clinician-to-clinician advice service, giving primary care physicians remote access to specialist support for patient care within three business days. Initial trials of the e-consultant model in Australia have shown reduced wait times and improved access to specialist input, avoidance of face-to-face hospital outpatient visits, and better integrated care. A cost minimization analysis comparing the e-consultant model with a traditional referral pathway showed that the e-consultant model was associated with a 61.5% efficiency gain, allowing diversion of support to hospital-based outpatient appointments.

The Nigerian Senate has passed for second reading a bill seeking to regulate rent payments in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT. Senator Smart, Adeyemi, specifically, seeks to stop yearly advance payment of rent and compel house owners to collect rent monthly in arrears. The report is presented from our studios. Senator Adeyemi, in his lead debate, said the bill was to cushion the effect of outrageous rent on properties on residents in the nation's capital. He said many properties in Abuja were empty because of the outrageous rents placed on them. Distinguished colleagues, you may wish to know that many residents of FCT are finding it difficult to cope with huge rent payments and as an aftermath of this, Mr. President, many houses built within the city centre for such purposes are empty. Other senators will equal you through their weights behind the bill, describe the proposed law as people-centred. If nothing, this bill is a sample and a testimony to that very important mantra we adopted in this chamber. Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, there is no gain saying the truth is out there. Many residents in the FCT are groaning under this very, very difficult system. I rise to totally support this bill. You see, we have to do something to the masses of this country and the only way we can do it is to make sure that this is paid monthly rather than being paid in, let's say, in advance. The question to ask is whether it is just to ask the clerk of the Senates whose salary is not up to $800,000 or maybe $400,000 to pay $2 million at once in advance. Where are you expecting him to get that money? Where? In opposing the bills, Senator Chimarroke Nnamani said rents are determined by market forces, like the cost of acquiring land and building materials. The issue of rental payment, either in advance or in installment, is purely economic. It should be driven by market forces. So, market forces ask availability of land, cost of building materials, income. If government wants to ameliorate the sufferings of the masses, government can go into housing skiing. But his position, however, did not stop the passage of the bill for second reading. A bill for an act to regulate the mode of payment of rent on residential apartments, office spaces, etc., in the federal capital territory, FCT, and for other matters connected there with 2022 second reading taken. The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Housing, giving it four weeks to report back in plenary for further legislative imputes. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
