In this module, we are going to study the consumer behavior preferences ordering property non-satiation. This property is basically shows the relationship between the quantities of the goods or the services that a consumer is going to prefer in one bundle and its place in the preference ordering. It means the consumer who is preferring a lot of assets, he decides a relationship between them and on the basis of that relationship, we can take the share to the other person. So, if we look at the positioning in that, then who is better, who is worse, if we look at it, then we will say that this will be in non-satiation and in other words, one more thing is that the consumer can never be completely satisfied. If we do not say that the asset that he is taking through it, the desire or demand of it is not complete, it is definitely in that time frame but it is always demanding for more than the amount, so if we say in other words that non-satiation means that the consumer will always demand more than the amount of assets, if he is taking some quantity today, then it is his satisfaction but he will always want that if I get more than this, then it is better, then if I get more than that, then it is better. So, if we look at it, then our consumer's natural desirability expresses it. And if we look at this property, then it is the relationship between our goods that expresses it and in that non-satiation, if we look at it, then it means that if in front of the consumer, there will be two bundles in which one will have less assets and the other will have more assets and if there are two bundles, then the bundle in which the quantity is more, it will attach more higher value or positive value to it. And that is why the one with more assets will always prefer the bundle in which the amount of assets will be less. And if we cannot give preference, then if we say that if he is more of at least one good and no less of any, then at least we will say that he or she will give at least preference and if he does not give preference, then at least he or she will have equal between them and he or she will not give less. And this means that a lot of assets that we see in the market, we can definitely say about preference that the consumer has said it better and the consumer has rejected it. But we cannot say that any commodity tag can be bad. And if we say in the other form that any commodity that is present in the market, it can be for one consumer, it can be very preferred for that and it can be non-preferred for the other. So for the non-preferred, it is giving a bad impact but that good is not bad. It is exactly the same way that a lot of music can be liked by some people but in the same way, if there is a patient in Sai's house, then the music that is seen in the form of a lot of noise, it can be a vice for that but in the form of bad, we can call it logically but in the language of economics, no commodity is anything that we can call bad. So somewhere, there is a value of every commodity and the consumer is selecting it based on that. So if we look at the value of the satiation, then the quantity of that attached value will always be preferable. Now if we look at a graph that we are drawing, under that graph, if we have drawn on the x axis that this is our commodity and here we have drawn the other commodity which is burning in this form, now we will see that one point of intersection of these two commodities on which we go and say that the point of both commodities on this point which he purchased or the bundle which he preferred. Now if we look at this point, then we have drawn an indifference curve that we have drawn like A, B, C but now we have shown B point on this point. Now if we talk from here, then we have a range of this indifference curve on which our combinations are of x1 and x2. The combination of one x1 and x2 can be here, the other can be here, the third can be here. In the same way, these are various combinations and among those combinations, now the thing that is missing here is our hypothetical line of which if we say budget line. Since if we look at the budget line, then it is only tangent to this point, then this was our equilibrium point. Now on the left side of this point which is our block or if we look at it, then all the points of indifference sets are always on the left of this A and C. So all these things are found here. And in the same way, if we look at it, then our point B is found here on the right side. Now if we look at it, then point B is the out of reach of the consumer. And if I draw a hypothetical curve that might be that he wants to purchase, then if we look at this hypothetical curve which I have drawn of an indifference curve or consumption bundle, then this B is preferred to A and C because it is present at a higher level. But since it is not in its range or its budget, then the placing on the right side will be preferred to A and it is now in the form of non-satiation that he has purchased these things and he is satisfied up to this point. But since the consumer is having the more wishful thinking to attain this B commodity which might be that he wants to purchase somewhere in the future, then he will show his non-satiation. And the things which he has already attained, which are all present here, this is an attained bundle to him. And because of this non-satiation, if we say for the future, this is his wish or his bundle which is giving him non-satiation. And if we look at this, apart from this bundle, if we look at this indifference curve as well, then if he is taking commodity above this one point, X1 and X2, and if he wants to purchase more than X1, if I draw a line here, perpendicularly, then he has taken X1 commodity till here. Now if he wants to purchase more commodity of X1, then he has to come to this point while doing downward movement. If you look here, then X2 commodity was this much, which had to come to this point while leaving it. So if you look here, if the consumer sacrificed the commodity of X2, then he has gained more commodity of X1 from here to here. So if we look at this non-satiation assumption, it shows our movement of consumer from one combination to other. And at the same time, if he wants to purchase more commodity of X1, then he should be ready to sacrifice at least that thing which is already present in his hand. So in this regard, the property of an indifference curve, we say that the set of indifference is made at a particular point, it cannot be much wider than that. So if we talk about this set, then we have only shown the combination of these points. If I say after the wider, then we cannot show it so much wider in this form because then we can see its various combinations more. And in the same way, we say that it cannot be much thicker in the form and that is why we have to show it in the geometrical form or in the graphical form. So we are always expressing it from a point to a point that either this combination is at this point or this combination is at this point or this combination is at this point. So that is why, because it expresses our different quantities, then this is our property of consumption or indifference curve. If we look at it, then it is expressed at this point. And along with that consumption curve, the movement which is possible through substitution, then the trading of between the goods or the trading of between the bundles are expressed through this property. Thank you.


Here in Washington County, we have some of Maryland's most iconic scenic views. Some of those views you have to work hard to earn, some of them you can drive right up to. So there's a view for every ability here in Washington County, Maryland. We're here today at Sideline Hill Welcome Center on Route 68, and this is one of the views you can drive right up to. After you take in this beautiful vista, you can stop in Hancock, Maryland, where you can shop, you can dine, you can ride your bike on the Western Maryland Rail Trail. There's plenty of hiking along the Appalachian Trail or to see a canal, so don't just come for the view. Stay for the day. Washington County is just a great place for folks to combine their outdoor recreation with all the other great activities they're seeking, particularly food and beverage. A lot of these towns have small little museums that not only capture the local story, but they really are pages of American history when we're talking about the Civil War, when we're talking about transportation history. They're unique boutiques, small mom and pop businesses that give people the opportunity to purchase something locally made, crafted. 200 years people have been coming down the mountain and going into these towns connected by the roads for their food and drink and their hospitality and their lodging. History and outdoor recreation just really abound in this area. When traveling the historic National Road Scenic Biway which connects Bloomsboro and Hancock as well as a lot of access to a lot of the trails and parks, you know it's a scenic views and it really is the road that connects all these great communities. The South Mountain Recreation Area is a complex of state parks, really iconic overlooks in Maryland, part of the Appalachian Mountain Range and following the famous Appalachian Trail in Maryland. Washington Monument is also along the same Appalachian Trail. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, if you want to really get out and be fully immersed in nature and you're looking for a good challenge, the hike to Black Rock is a great option. Washington Monument is a good option if you're looking for something shorter, a little less challenging but still has a really breathtaking view at the top. A great family hike, great if you just have an hour to kill and you want to see something beautiful. Remember when you're here in Washington County, Maryland, the best view is yours.


Aloha. This is Making Leadership Work on Think Tech, and I'm your host, Carol Monli. Today my guest is Brenda Kotanda, who is a lawyer from Philadelphia, who's moved here from Philadelphia to Hawaii last year. And the name of our show today is called Cross-Country Law Practice is the Way of the Future. So, welcome, Brenda. Thank you, Carol. Happy to be here. Great. So now tell us again, tell me and tell our audience why you moved to Hawaii a year ago. Sure. We came here because my husband, who originally grew up here in Hawaii, went to school in Hawaii, that's been on the mainland, was offered position as president of Hawaii Pacific University. So we made the big trip, packed up the whole family, and moved out to Hawaii. And we're very, very happy with the move. Great. So it's you, your husband, John, your two children, and your dog, right? Right. Welcome. So we're going to talk about cross-country law practice because you are a partner in the law firm of Manco Goldcatcher Fox in the Philadelphia region. That's right. And so tell us why you decided to stay in the law practice there and instead of moving to Hawaii and maybe starting out a different type of career of law practice. Right. Well, I've been with the firm for over 20 years and actually joined the firm one year out of law school. And it's a terrific firm and I really do terrific work with the firm. So my partners are very supportive and I have clients that present challenging environmental issues, we're an environmental and energy law practice. And so I really didn't want to leave it because I love what I do and I love who I work with. And so rather than leaving them to join a firm here, we set up this arrangement so that I could work long distance. And it's, you know, we've been doing it now for a while since I moved and it's been working just awesomely. Great. So let's find out a little bit more about your firm. So about how many lawyers do you have? So we have 30 lawyers all practicing environmental and energy law. It's actually environmental health and safety, energy and sustainability. And we have three technical consultants on staff as well. So we offer a multi-disciplinary practice to our clients. Oftentimes environmental legal issues have complicated technical aspects and so we can bring to bear on the legal issues technical input because sometimes it's more cost effective to solve a complicated legal issue with a change in perhaps the technology. Maybe there's somebody who's got a wastewater treatment plant and it's a very difficult for them to meet a particular water quality standard but there's a different technical approach that they could take that could solve the problem. I see. So is this a growing practice of law in Philadelphia and maybe nationwide? So we've certainly been growing. Our firm was formed in 1989 and at the time I think we started out with maybe 10 lawyers and we're now at 30. Never had the intention to grow just for the sake of growing but our number of clients has grown, our business has grown and so as that's happened our firm has evolved and grown with it as well. Was that your specialty in law school? Did you get a certificate in environmental law or did you always have an interest in this area? So I went to the University of Texas at Austin. There was no certificate in environmental law available but I knew I wanted to practice environmental law when I started so I was able to take environmental law classes while I was in law school and in fact work with some environmental lawyers in Texas before moving back to the east coast. I see and on your business card it has a couple of letters that I don't usually see after Brenda Potanda Esquire. Lead AP, L-E-E-D-A-P. Tell us what that means. So I lead our firm's sustainability law practice and one of the things that we address is green building, green leasing, green practices and things like that. So the U.S. Green Building Council has a program called LEED, stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. And that's L-E-E-D. That's right and they certify buildings that have sustainable construction and operating practices, so green buildings and they have a professional accreditation that you can pursue. It involves learning about all of the green practices and then taking an exam so kind of like a bar exam only for green buildings. I see. Is it a very selective group of people who have this designation? Many of the people are in the construction industry and in the development industry, but I went ahead and did it because I have a lot of clients that build green buildings, manage green buildings and I thought it was really important to have that in order to be able to most effectively counsel them on legal matters involving green issues and sustainability, how they might address the issue in leases to ensure that the buildings were operated in a fashion to have a certification maintain it. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. So are there other attorneys in your firm with the same designation? So there is one of our technical consultants has it, but I'm the only one that has the LEED AP among the legal staff. Nice. So tell us a little about your clients. You mentioned your clients and what you do for them. Sure. In general. I know you can't disclose names. So we handle complicated cutting edge legal matters in environmental health and safety, and we also handle day-to-day compliance and transactions. So our clients range from industrial manufacturers to developers to healthcare facilities, transportation, railroad, retail, almost any business that you can think of typically encounters some environmental issue in what it is they do, whether they are manufacturing something and so therefore may need a permit to discharge wastewater after treatment or perhaps they're building a building and looking at redeveloping a site that has some contamination on it and so therefore wants to clean up that contamination and put it back into reuse. So it's mostly corporate clients, sometimes individuals because even individuals can experience perhaps a spill that needs to be remediated, buying and selling properties, compliance counseling and transactions. So are your clients mostly in the Philadelphia area? So we have clients in that region, but also nationally and internationally. Sometimes we are working for a client that has an issue in the Philadelphia region and that's how we first get involved with them, but then the relationship develops and they've got an issue in Europe or they've got an issue in South America and they want to handle things in a certain way to make sure that it complies with not only their own policies, but then laws elsewhere and while we may not be expert in international laws, we can give them what a standard of care would be here in the States. I see. Do you have clients here in Hawaii? So I am developing a Hawaii practice and have passed the BAR, member of the Hawaii bar. So you have the office is now Hawaii office too. That's right, exactly. And I'm trying to get involved in the community to meet people and to develop our practice. So I've joined the environmental section of the BAR and I'll be an officer this year for programs. Great. And then I'm getting also involved in other things because it's really important I think to give back to the community as a starting point. So let's talk about how you manage then having a very vibrant, interesting law practice in Philadelphia area and living 5,000 miles away here in Hawaii. So what kind of a challenge is that and how do you actually manage it? Well, I'll tell you there's some key components to managing it. I think you need to have a supportive firm, supportive clients. You have to have a certain type of personality and a certain type of practice. So as far as the firm is concerned, my firm is terrific. They've been so supportive in that they've in fact they suggested that I continue to work after I left. We believe my firm believes in work-life balance and in diversity and providing a supportive work environment. So a third of our partners are women. About half of them are on a part-time schedule. So this idea really wasn't that radical to them. We're connected very easily with the technology. When I log into my computer system here in Hawaii, it's as if I'm sitting there in Pennsylvania. Of course, time difference, right? Of course, the time difference, right. So we manage that. How do you manage the time difference? So we're about five or six hours different. And I've said to all of my clients and all of my partners and colleagues, if you need me up for a nine o'clock call on the East Coast, I'm there and I'll get up in the middle of the night. It's not a problem. 3 a.m. here. That's right. But all of them, they, you know, they rather have me fresh and alert. And so they try to schedule calls and meetings in the afternoon principally. And so I start work here around 6.30 a.m. So as to catch the full balance of the afternoon. And then I can actually work into their evening because it's just the daytime here for me. So that's worked out very well. But I guess I'd say the other thing too is it's really important to have a certain practice and personality. So a lot of my practice involves work over the telephone, talking to clients, talking to regulators, emailing, when we're doing transactions buying and selling property or trying to work out permitting issues. A lot of it involves communication over the internet email. So that really is key to this. And the other thing is to really be a person that has a lot of initiative, right? So I've got a track record with the firm. I'm very proactive. I try to think of issues before they arise and then address it, make a plan for, you know, when this is going to come up, how are we going to address it? Do you Skype? We do. We do. We have Skype for business and we have partners meeting on a monthly basis. So I will Skype in for that. So I'm present on videoconference, sitting around the table while everybody's eating lunch. I'm eating breakfast. So that works just fine. So how often do you travel back to the mainland to see your firm or meet with clients? So in the past year I've been back two or three times and the funny thing is is I, you know, when I was practicing there I wouldn't necessarily reach out just to meet with a client just for the sake of meeting with the clients. Because they're always there. They're there and I figure they're busy and let's just get our work done. But now that I'm going back and it's a deliberate trip I call and contact them. So I'm seeing my clients I think far more than I ever had because of the nature of how I'm organizing my visits. Did you experience any pushback when you were telling your clients you were moving to Hawaii and were they concerned about the responsiveness or the ability to... I think the responsiveness is key. They weren't concerned about it because they've got a track record with them for being responsive. So, you know, when they send an email they expect the prompt response. And as long as you're responsive and you're flexible I've not had any problem or any client, you know, say that this wasn't going to work. Quite the contrary. Great. So as part of your practice on the mainland do you find that you're able to keep up with the developments in the law both statewide in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania and also nationwide and then perhaps what's going on here in Hawaii? I do. And part of it is because there is so much information that's available electronically now in terms of, you know, reporters and business journals and so I still subscribe to all of those. So I'm getting the local news. We have actually offices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. So I'm, you know, still keeping current with Pennsylvania and New Jersey legal matters. And our 30 lawyers in our firm work together collectively. So when somebody sees a new legal issue, shoots out an email to the whole firm. So it's not as though I feel like I'm missing anything because of the way we practice. We all help one another to keep current with issues. So the current administration, Trump administration and the changes in the environmental protection agency and related areas, how has that affected your practice? I think a lot of people have uncertainty. So given that they're reaching out to their lawyers to try to anticipate what's to come. A little hard to anticipate it given the nature of how things have been rolling out. But we're certainly staying on top of regulatory changes. What does it mean if you remove a particular rule? Because just because somebody is deregulating, it doesn't affect all clients the same way. And for some, it might be beneficial to them and others it might not be beneficial. So we continue to have to, you know, help clients work through these issues and determine what it means to them for their own operations. Because a lot of what we do is compliance counseling. How do you comply? What do you do? What systems do you put in place to make sure that you're meeting the regulatory requirements? Is there one particular deregulation or issue that is of particular concern? Across the board to all clients, not really. Because we represent such diverse sectors. And I guess the same answer for anything that might be positive. That's right. It really depends upon what they're doing. As I said, we have folks that are developing real estate or that are pursuing new energy projects. There's a new caravan solar. So for those that are pursuing solar, perhaps that could be a bit of a challenge to them. Though I've also heard some people say they don't think it'll impact quite as negatively as some of the press is saying, at least for some of the projects that are happening in the Philadelphia region. Okay. Well, great. On that note, we're going to take a short break. And I'm here with my guest, Brenda Gotanda, a lawyer from the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia area who's now living in Hawaii and practicing law. 5,000 miles away. We'll be right back with Think Tech Hawaii. Come back. This is Karamon Lee with Making Music Work and my guest, Brenda Gotanda. Welcome, Brenda. I want to have everybody look at this wonderful backdrop picture that we have, which is we are sitting in the middle of your reception area. Is that right? That's right. Your law firm, Manco Goldcatcher and Fox. That's right. In Philadelphia area. So we have some wonderful slides and tell us, Brenda, your role in how the firm and the reception area is using your particular areas of expertise to develop a not just beautiful, but functional and environmentally positive statement. Thank you. I'd be happy to. So as an environmental and energy law firm, we're not only dedicated to providing high quality legal services to our clients, but being responsible stewards to the environment. So when we needed to make a move for purposes of getting larger office space, because we were growing, we actually moved from one floor to a higher floor in our building where there was more space available. And we wanted to do it in a way that was sensitive to the environment and take steps to design and construct the space in a sustainable manner. So what we did is we used the U.S. Green Building Council lead certification as a guide in our design and construction. And in doing so, we were able to become the first law firm in the Philadelphia region that achieved a lead gold certification for its interior fit out. So I'd be happy to show some of the things that we did in order to do that. Yeah. Okay. So now we're looking at a slide that has a picture of three different pictures. So tell us how. So this is one example of the things that we did when we were doing the construction. We made sure that there was an indoor environmental quality management plan that was used during construction to make sure that once we were fully constructed, we didn't have a lot of residual chemicals and such in the space. We used low VOC paints, sealants. VOC. Volatile organic compounds. So you know when you get a new carpet, it's that new carpet smell that you sometimes smell. But there's carpets now that you can get and adhesives and paints that don't use the VOCs. And so it's better for the environment, better indoor air quality. So your floor and your reception area, is that carpeting? So that actually is stonework. See the background of this slide here, material and resources, that's a picture of the stonework. The background, the beige color is the stonework. Right. And the blue is carpeting. And the blue is carpeting. Okay. And in this particular photo here you can see the coffee table in our reception area. That's a really beautiful coffee table. It looks like a work of art, a building pushed on its side. And one of the terrific aspects of it is that it is made of reclaimed timber locally sourced. So all buildings that were torn down, they reclaimed the timber and made this beautifully handcrafted coffee table. Similarly we have our office signage in the entryway. Same thing, reclaimed material. Here you can see one of our conference rooms. You can see it in this picture there too. In the background, right? Yeah, maybe can we go back to slide one? Yes, let's see. You can see the full height glass walls. And that allow, and we have that not only in our conference rooms, but also for our attorney offices, which is fairly unique. Not a lot of lawyers are comfortable with a glass office, but we wanted to have daylight extend through to the interior spaces, which reduces energy because you don't need to have as many lights on. And it makes for a better work environment for the staff that are outside of the offices. It does. Is there a question though as far as confidentiality? For instance, meetings that people may not want to necessarily know that privacy? We have in our conference rooms shades that can be pulled down if necessary. But because they're enclosed with doors, the conference rooms typically most clients feel comfortable with that and don't need the shades pulled down. And I know we can't see it from the slide, but is there unique characteristics to temperature control? Yes, we do. We also made sure that we incorporated temperature controls. We incorporated also lighting controls. Both of those things are important to saving energy. And in fact, because of the energy saving techniques that we used, we were able to reduce our energy use by 47% in the first year, even though the space was larger than where we came from. So it was quite dramatic. So your old space and when did you actually move to your new space? It was in 2014. So you built it out to your specifications with all of the lead requirements to achieve the gold status. So the building before, even though the space was smaller, you had a 47% higher energy cost? In the old space. And in the old space we had already undertaken some energy conservation efforts. But when you do a complete fit out, there's so much more that you can do. And so we made sure that we did that and we achieved those energy savings, which results in cost savings. And here's actually some other examples of energy saving is we have lighting controls. So the lightings in our conference room will turn off when it's not in use. Automatically? Automatically. I see. So it senses body presence or not. Occupancy. I see. Even our vending machines have sensors on them so that the lighting will go off and the cooling compressor will be put into sleep mode when it's not in use and in off hours. So the cooling compressor, does that affect the temperature then? So it'll turn it off when it's not in use and then come back on. So it maintains the sodas and water in a cold temperature, but it's not overused. It's just not on constantly, which is more typical. Right. And then of course on weekends when it wouldn't be used very much at all, it's saving energy. Right. Okay, any other? And low water conservation measures, low flow fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and we were able to save, think about a little over 30% water savings in our new space as compared to our old space. And we did go ahead and re-retrofit a poor building restroom that isn't in our space, but we wanted to do that anyway. So we got some extra environmental benefit out of it. How many floors are you on in your building? There are nine floors. You have nine floors? Yes. And actually if you go to slide two, you can see a picture of the building. We saw pictures of the building right with the beautiful foliage. Right. So you have all nine floors of that? No, we're only on the, right now we're on the ninth floor and we only have a portion of that. So the whole building is not LEED certified. It's just our space, but there's certain building components you need to make sure you have and even in order to go through that program. I see. But how many square feet do you have to cover? I don't know what the number is on, but I can get back to you on that. Okay, we'll have another show. Okay. What about in terms of sustainability recycling or reducing paper waste, things like that? Right. Well, every attorney has recycling bin right at their desk. We have defaulted all printers to double-sided and so everybody's expected to use double-sided unless there's some reason not to, so as to save more paper, save more trees and save costs as well. For all of our meetings, we use actual plates, cups, glasses that are then put in a dishwasher so that we're not, you know, generating lots of paper plate waste. We use water in pitchers rather than bottled water. So there's actually many, many things that we do in our firm sustainability practices and we actually try to share those with others in terms of engaging the community, engaging our clients so that everybody can benefit from what we've learned, what works, and what doesn't. So do you have a newsletter that covers these on a regular basis? So I don't have a newsletter, but I actually put together a sustainability director's round table. So I invited sustainability directors and managers from our clients and then other folks in the community to come in, share ideas, what works, best practices, what they've had trouble with, and it was across all different sectors so that somebody might have an idea about something that the zoo was doing and they would have never reached out to the zoo, but having just a conversation, they think, oh, you know, I've got something like that and perhaps I can incorporate it into my, you know, real estate management practice. So I know you do a lot of writing, so you do have regular column or publishing certain locations. People can read about different developments and issues. So we do have client alerts that anyone can subscribe to and then we do also write for the legal intelligentser in Philadelphia. How do we get to that client alert? You can go to our website at www.mankogold.com and also if you put up slide six, we'll see this, what we also did was put together a case study and a tour book that shows a lot of what we did and explains how and why for people that may be interested in seeing what they can do to make their offices more sustainable. So that the picture in the center is the cover of the tour book and then down on the bottom right is the case study. The tour book has all the pretty pictures. The case study's got more detail. So the tour book of your offices and how it developed and all the specifications. That's right. That's right. And this is available online. It is on our website. So you can just go to our website and under practice areas you can click on sustainability and right there you can click either case study or tour book. So how have you taken these different skill sets and practices to your own personal living space? So I drive a hybrid vehicle. Very good. And we do try to, I mean at home, reduce waste. Try to buy things with less packaging. Try to recycle, right? Because it's good to recycle, but it's better to generate less waste in the first place. You know, my son actually has a whole aquaponics system going in the backyard so that we can grow some of our own herbs and uses the fish for the nutrients. So, you know, little things that people can even do at home in addition to, you know, a big sustainability program out of business. Right. Well, we only have a few more seconds. And so just quickly, how have you found Hawaii in terms of adjusting and accommodating sustainability and where it's going? I think Hawaii is very far ahead in terms of the general population understanding and embracing it and really trying to do things to advance sustainability. I don't know if that's the case in the business industry yet. I haven't seen as many businesses having lead certified buildings, but certainly there are some and I've met some folks that have them. So I think that there's further that people can go, but I think they have the knowledge base and the spirit and the desire to make it happen. So I'm really excited to be here. Well, on that note, and I want to thank you so much for joining us today on making leadership work, talking about cross-country law practices the way of the future and how one person very successfully, Brenda Katanda, has been able to manage a 5,000 mile distance in a very important and busy practice and yet living here in beautiful Hawaii and bringing her skillset to our state. Thank you so much. This is Carol Monly with Think Tech Hawaii and we'll see you next time. Aloha.


Welcome to Wikitree. This is a brief tutorial on how to delete or change a parent. First, find the profile where you need to delete or change a parent. Here we have a dummy profile for someone named PhonyName. Before I go any further, I would like to point out that every profile has a Wikitree ID number. When you are on a profile page, you can find the ID in two places. It appears here in the top right menu, and it appears on the end of the URL in your browser address bar. There are many places where knowing the Wikitree ID number will be very handy. Now back to changing a parent. For this tutorial, I have chosen to delete the father. To delete this parent from this profile, we first click on to the Edit tab. On the Edit screen, on the right side, under Edit Family, and below the father's name, it says Edit. Click on this to go to another page where we can make changes. On this screen, we can make changes in three possible ways. If you want to replace the father with a profile that already exists on Wikitree, you want option A. There is a box in which to put the Wikitree ID of the replacement father. Remember that the ID is case sensitive. Copy it exactly. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on to Add Father. The second method, B, is for when you want to replace an existing father with someone who is not already on Wikitree. Just fill in the information on this new individual and scroll to the bottom of the page and click on to Add Father. This will replace the existing father with the new person you have just created. The third method is for removing the father entirely. Scroll to the bottom of the page and just click on to Remove Father. When you have done this, there will be no father listed for this profile. You might have to reload your browser to see these changes. I hope you found this useful. Have a look for other tutorials on the Wikitree videos YouTube channel.


Right at scale my name is alexander I work at Piotl. I'm kiting Chen from VMware They will talk about Using CFCR to run your quest clusters This is the most important slide you'll remember it from today because you'll see it on all presentations But why we here who here have deployed something using Bosch? Please raise your hands who haven't deployed because I see lots of having deployed So I expected all of you agrees that Bosch is awesome to deploy things and it's awesome deployment system and the thing is that Is cloud founder can tell runtime just another Bosch deployment that if you know how to deploy with Bosch you can do it and And the answer is yes, it's just another board deployment a bit fine service that uses Some extra Bosch features. What is just another board deployment? So I wanted to start by talking a little bit because this is this is the first session of the day About why we want to why we're even here talking about kubernetes. What does kubernetes give you in? addition to your existing cloud foundry infrastructure So there's a couple of things the abstraction that kubernetes built is Fundamentally at a lower level than what you're going to see out of the application runtime It handles that deals with pods which are essentially just Colocated containers and it also means that you can essentially run any existing Docker container you have So if you have some functionality that that is already easily represented as a Docker container Well kubernetes makes it very easy for you to run that it handles a replication and scaling in the those containers automatically for you and I mean kubernetes is a little bit more tied into the underlying infrastructure for example if you have something like a Some persistent disks in your vSphere infrastructure for example that you want to use with your with your workloads Then kubernetes makes it very easy to make that integration happen And last kubernetes supports a rolling updates for your workloads It makes it very easy for users in addition to access all of these features So that's why we're here to talk about kubernetes, but The problem with giving you all this power and and having these low-level abstractions is that kubernetes is very difficult to Install in in a production environment. It's it's not hard to get started with I think Probably a lot of you have tried to use something like mini cube Where you have kubernetes running on your local machine and you don't need any infrastructure really To bring up a kubernetes cluster at all and that's that's really easy to get started with but if you're talking about running kubernetes in an Enterprise Environment or in a production environment, then there's a lot more that you have to think about a lot of considerations That you wouldn't have in just a development environment So the first thing I'm going to talk about is security because kubernetes is kind of meant for you to run fast It's it's meant for you to go and get started very quickly Which means that some of the defaults that they've chosen are not the best for for production These are some quotes that I've taken directly out of the kubernetes documentation You see that by default Kubla is unsecured So any work worker node that you have if someone were to gain access to that network and were able to ping that node Well, they could run whatever Workload they want on that worker node You also have to think about things like user authentication In fact Here's basically a list of the security considerations that you have to have to worry about When you're bringing up a production kubernetes cluster if you want to have actual users what you need to give kubernetes an external User an external authentication provider So how are you going to do that? How are you going to get those components that talk together? How are you going to tie that into your authorization and like governance infrastructure so that those users can only access the resources that they're supposed to You have to worry about certificate management because kubernetes is kind of decentralized, right? It's kind of modular and all the pieces ideally should be communicating using neutral TLS Which means that you need to manage certificates You have to worry about securing kubelet. You have to worry about securing at CD, which is the brains of this whole operation You have to worry about credential rotation for your service accounts And you also have to worry about securing things like the dashboard that people often forget and lead to Hackers running cryptocurrency miners in your infrastructure So like none of these things are things that that none of these Problems are really insurmountable or anything like that They're just an additional factor that you have to consider when what you really want is to just get a cluster up and running In addition like I mentioned before kubernetes is modular like all the pieces are meant to work Not necessarily like they're meant to work together, but they can operate without the presence of each other Which means that like for example your kubelet processes on your worker nodes will pretty much run no matter What you do and if and if they're running and you get them talking to your master Well, you'll be able to schedule a pod workload on onto that worker But just because you've done that successfully doesn't mean that all of these deployment workload types are going to work for you Doesn't mean that just because you've deployed a single pod that you're going to be able to deploy like a demon set or a Cron job or set up some custom resource in your cluster and expect that to work So like these are all things that you have to consider and it makes it a little bit difficult to test this because how can you be Confident that you have a conformant cluster and even if you have a conformant cluster upfront How do you know that cluster is going to continue operating the way that you wanted to after you take down for example? Some of your workers for maintenance How are you confident that your kubelet is going to be able to come up successfully or that your cluster is going to survive and upgrade? So again a lot of things to think about when deploying kubernetes in Production because it's like essentially infrastructure and that means that you have to think about all the ramifications that come with that infrastructure And last you throw networking into this picture and it gets just a lot more complicated if you want a resilient cluster Well, that means that you need highly available masters and there's no way kubernetes gives you Built in to have that master high availability Which means that you need to go and set up your own load balancing solution Or if you're using some sort of cloud infrastructure there will you need to set up an external load balancer?  And what if you need to rotate that certificate like over time or for example the IP address of your load balancer changes Or the DNS name of it changes How are you going to ensure that all these certificates are accepted by both the masters and the workers? So like this is it like I said like none of this is really it's not something that you can't do It's just a lot to think about so what's the solution to all this? So this is how Piotr on Google start collaborating it and Bosch has super features that allows us to do this with repeatable diplomats using Bosch it's much easier to test everything and Resurrecting VMs It's all great features of Bosch, but today I want specifically talk about two recently new features Recently it's one a half year old features that Bosch provides us that allowed us to build Cloud Foundry container runtime and allowed us to manage multiple clusters One of it is Bosch DNS It allows us to remove load balancer out of equation. It's Bosch DNS. It provides easy master HA and if you Just specify some alias and it works like kind of like internal load balancer and if master goes down then it gets removed from this DNS record and With this it's you don't need external load balancer for internal communication if you need to talk externally you want it you can have it, but you don't need it and more importantly You operate doesn't need to configure anything So it works all the same for different clusters it provides So discovering for different clusters discovery of hcd or a discovery of masters from workers so this way it just works the same on different clusters but Additionally, we want to generate certificates and Crathub. Crathub really solved all those problems You are able to generate certificates for all the components Provide mutual TLS generates all the passwords, especially ones that you don't really care that required only for internal communication it Significantly simplifies multiple cluster management because Operator doesn't need to think about it. They just have one manifest and have to change deployment time as that's it And I will show how it's happened right now So I'll just deploy jerk CFCR cluster To be honest, I already deployed it. So we will have time to see some other things and I will just So I get sample manifest from Kubo deployment. It's manifested provide by CFCR This is minimal manifest. You can deploy it on each is it will work fine. So Like if you don't need any cloud features, it will work fine If you need some collaboration with cloud like connecting disks a lot bounces you need to provide settings for so-called cloud provider and That's why I connect this additional ops file then One more thing Calli-K Terrence there will be session about Calli-K Terrence What you need to know it will speed up your deployment Then I because I want this cost to be accessible externally I will add load balancer AP to this certificate add masters to this load balancer and Provide some variables. So those variables are required to tag VMs or cluster knows Okay, this VMs are part of this cluster. They can attach disks and so on and This variables are required to talk to GCP Click enter it will run It will take about one minute and as I said the first part of the manifest is available for any cloud And once the FCR says that They're adding support for different clouds. It just means that a cloud provider support for different clouds now each developer or Kubernetes developer or Kubernetes operator expects some block laws to be running on vanilla cluster So one of it is Qt DNS which allows So discovering size a cluster Kubernetes dashboard that you can see in pretty UI what's happening with the cluster and Hipster for metrics so this is what is done in this around and Because I use collocate around it will run very very quickly because it's Right on the master VM and it's already finished now. It's getting locks and print out locks. So I Will show how it works just part of the manifest So I added one job to the master and removes it as separate instance group Then this is ops file for the load balancer. I just had VM extension and IP just IP in variable Now I want to connect to the cluster. So I all my credentials and credit hub I Need to get them from credit hub and this is I get client secret Connect to this credit hub It's connected get the token that is to authenticate get the CA certificate and Set my cube config that cube config and cube Cube CTL for example get nodes. I Can see it's up and running It's available externally. So I will connect to my Local machine and I can do Cube CTL CTL get all get nodes as well. It will be the same nodes So what I can do I can deploy some workload keep CTL Apply with file assistant volumes Create disk Create some deployment it's up and running and Still proxy as I said it has dashboard so I can access dashboard from my local machine and Odin loading okay It says I need to log in and I need to provide My keep CTL file keep config file. I will provide it and I can sign in and proceed so Even if your dashboard is exposed you still need something to access and it's Deploying you can see that I start deploying this Guestbook and something is deployed some nice. Yeah, if I refresh it it will update something. I hope Yeah, everything is up and running so Cluster is up and running. I will go back to the remote VM and I can get keep CTL Get service front-end so I know how to connect to it and this is let's go Guestbook, it's up and running. It's running public AP address. So you can hello CF summit You can connect to it, but but please don't because Don't steal internet Can connect do it afterwards? So I deployed cluster. I use scratch up to get credentials I Deployed using vanilla CFCR. I added some ops files just to optimize speed of The deploying errands I get access to it. It's working, but in real life You probably don't want to expose your masters to the external internet You want them to be available internal network and they need to have some kind of jump box To access it and this is what we will do right now We will I will show the several possible patterns that you can use to connect to your Cluster that deployed in just internal network. So I come back here and I go here and I will I Deploy second cluster as well the same CFCR manifest same cloud provider Collocate errant expose links. I will explain later why rename deployment and Nothing about load balancer. So it doesn't it's not running spot of load balancer it's not available externally and Basically, I won't be able to access it Anyway, except from going somehow from internal network So I will deploy errant and to do this. I will deploy Jump box separately in the with the same Bosch fetching logs I Will show expose links. It just basically expose the links and making them available between cross deployment Jump box. I also deployed jump box. I deployed everything just half an hour. It's not that much and Manifest of this jump box I have Bosch DNS to be able to use the same service Discovery, but from different deployment. This is why I had this links shed because those links Provides this DNS discovery using Kubo DNS aliases. I can connect to the cluster with the same DNS name from this jump box then keep CTL is one of the I wrote this tiny job to show how you can access the cluster from jump box and Squid is simple HTTP proxy and nothing more interesting So again the same connect to credit hub and as you see it has to Two sets of deployment one from CFCR and other for CFCR staging that I just deployed and this has been jotted Automatically, I haven't done anything and in CFCR stages. There are lots of credentials and I basically don't care what as I Need I can rotate any of them, but as operator. I don't need to have them on my computer at all I'll get the token. I'll get the CA third and Now I'll try to connect with this CA third with this talking to master CFC internal, which is DNS alias for this cluster And unfortunately doesn't work because I actually need jump box. So I'll get the jump box and I'll get Connect to the jump box on the script. I'll get jump box API orders and using that jump box. I will try to get some Information so I Got those notes as you can see short And I'll deploy simple engine X application that I got from CFCR and Just wait for it to finish and it's deployed so Sometimes it takes time to download images, but I tried it several times. So all the images are there This is why it deployed so quickly and now I need to wait till load balancer is up But unfortunately it says ensure load balancer. So it's still starting up And I need to wait for some time. I need to access the cluster so I wanted to show you how we can access cluster from this jump box and Maybe it won't be jump box for you. Maybe it will be some VM in your CI. I'll be in concurs worker So I will just connect to this jump box SSH And What's important from it I can obviously an S look up master CFCR internal catch three masters they are advanced So we have a chain and then I get far recap jobs QPSY TL being QPSY TL again get service and I can see at my next up and drawing and this QPSY TL job is just Simple I have token I have certificate authority and I can show you talking because this class is not available externally You won't be able to connect to it But we can connect to this your cloud Okay, so let's Recap little bit. I Deployed cluster without external access deployed jump box and show how you can access it you can access the HTTPS proxy or you can create your own job that will run and execute commands on that cluster directly and developers won't even need to know anything about QPSY TL and The occults will be still available externally That's it that we wanted to show you there are much more things and there will be much more topics on this Today and tomorrow first is important link is manifest with for CFCR you stuck to ocean if you won't test that versions next link is link with demo and Link with my jump box deployment You can see how it works how it works with links. I hope that today you learn that Kubernetes is relatively easy to deploy and if you want you can use it and If you want to deploy it manually, it's much much harder Thank you all and We need you we as CFCR team. We need you to help us Collaborate better between cloud found application runtime and cloud forest container runtime Connect other services cloud found things to container runtime so it can be better Thanks questions question was if we allow user to Provide custom cloud provider or do they have to configure it all the time? so this cloud provider is provided by Kubernetes and Basically operator needs to configure it if you want to access the cloud need to configure something you need to have credentials which I've said using cloud config in Bosch and you need to Set some parameters in future in long long long future what we want and It's Bosch cloud provider We want Kubernetes to talk to Bosch and say please give me disk and Bosch will create disk attach to this node and it will work or Bosch give me load balancer Which potentially might happen. There is there are something in in the Bosch nodes. So in the future, you'll use Bosch built-in settings and you won't need to configure this cloud provider at all but for now, yes, you need to configure it set some settings and Yeah, there are some limited set of settings They're all in documentation Yes, that's a question Right now project does not support it. I think so Theoretic I haven't tried. Okay. It's not it's not supported. I haven't tried but it's possible because of links it's possible to get this if you deploy at CD with Bosch separately You can get access to the CD from the master and it doesn't need to be collocated It can be external or it can be run on separate VM But I don't think it's officially supported. So There might be some issues. You have to do it manually and check it manually if something does not work team will help you and I suppose they will solve it I Question was is Do you want to scale by three masters and if a CFCR comes by default with one master? In version zero sixteen that last released version it comes with one master with the version 017 that is not released yet the We I don't know sure what will be the defaults, but it's possible to use three masters and this is Come on. This is what I've This is what I've done. So I From this jump box if I would go again, I have three masters I it works, but yeah work is not finished on three masters team is still working and That's some caveats some H cases that they're covering Yes, another question. So DNS is It's why so it's we use Bosch DNS. I I Not Completely sure how it works, but I know that we have DNS demons that runs on the local VM And it actually talks to local VM to get DNS records. I suppose director has some sets like Information about which VMs are up and which are down in particular deployments But so I don't think that it's like something be crying on the on the director I suppose all running locally, but I don't know details if you really want to find out They will be Bosch office hours after the stock come and ask to me tree Oh, I know I'm not sure if it's well documented right now. Come and ask me tree. Yes Okay Yeah Okay question. Why do you want to run commit this cloud foundry? so there are two parts one part is why do you want to run Kubernetes and If you if you so I will answer a little bit later Why do you want to run commit this cloud foundry if you have cloud foundry you? Probably won't operator to have the same tool to operate your other deployments. So that's kind of obvious But why do you want to run Kubernetes? There are several use cases one of them is using disks like persistence it's It's supporting cloud foundry, but As far as I know Kubernetes has more configuration with it than extensibility It's very big part. So It's really easy to extend Kubernetes and some developers are get used to Kubernetes They prefer Kubernetes to cloud foundry There's some legacy of your clothes that It's very hard run on cloud funding and very easy to run on Kubernetes There are some patterns like running side cars and for example some specific routing If you want to have specific routing you have to go to Kubernetes. You can't go on cloud finder and change your routing UDP you can on Kubernetes you can try on cloud foundry GPU we will Probably with new stem cells will be able to run GPU workloads with Kubernetes I'm not sure what will happen is cloud foundry. I don't know. So that's like some use cases, but yes one more question So question was about IPv6 and persistence if we run with any issues with IPv6 and persistence I Don't know I'm not so right now. I'm not part of the CFCR team and I don't know what is the issues with IPv6 what is the current state and This persistence. I know that there are so many Easy ways to shoot yourself in in your feet and make it not work and break it And there are so many configurations that we covered most of them But some of them just don't talk because we don't know about specific configurations Yes, another question Okay, so Question was do we want to have ingress controller embedded in the California container runtime. I Don't think there is a push to get it embedded to cloud finder container runtime So certainly can run it on your own I You can deploy it with Kubernetes Then cameras will have to handle it and watch for the like that. It's alive and to health checks It's it's it's working. I know that yes, so it's We I don't think there is a plan to to It to be a part of something that's called for the container runtime team will do but if someone else will do it They will support it. That's the thing like it's this is why we said we need you we need you to help us and Deliver such features questions. No more questions. Thank you. I will be on the pure tell booth After lunch, so come if you have any questions and ask. Thank you


So my beautiful people I am back with another Alder Ring video and today I showcase to you guys another incredible arcane scaling weapon which although I've been reading online that some people prefer this over the rivers of blood I'm not sure that's the case for me is it better I wouldn't say it is I'd say it's a good contender I'd say it's a good substitute where you gonna where you going with that I say it's a good substitute for sure it's brutal causes that blood loss buildup and it's one for the collection 100% how's it going guys my name is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see when I see more be sure to subscribe okay so the weapon is called the Eleonora's Pole Blade now is one level below my visible load because I'm just just I always question about taking weapons up so that max level but it scales with strength dexterity and arcane arcane weapons now guys after the 1.03 patch our must-haves 100% this requires 12 in strength 21 in dexterity and a 29 in arcane like I said though it's got a better load loss build ups that value then the river of the blood which in all it is about the river of the blood it's the special attack with it that's just so it's so brutal it's gonna be hot it's gonna be hard to be matched but I tell you what this thing isn't half bad guys it isn't half bad the heavy attack itself I pretty cool it's got a double heavy attack as well so if you press it twice it does that but it's all about there it's all about this guys it's all about this it's that skimmy backwards as well I love uncertain weapons you like the bloodhands fang they can skimmy backwards so you can get in on a boss hitting with this about 20 times and skimmy back and away from his attack I love that kind of thing I really do I love it now I actually got this again thanks to my my power I do smoky on my discord actually showcase the location of this thing I mean I did see a video on it a while back and I just haven't seen anybody else mention it but it is so good it's so good don't go up the map don't go up the map you know many times I fall off that flipping map you know many times I skimmy backwards but yeah this actually obtained from up here which is no that's a bit too far up I think just to zoom in a bit there we go there we go the second church of America I actually come here I'm thinking I don't think I was about there I was thinking how do I get up how do I get up we actually well I come from this way we could probably get there from here I'm not too sure because these are deceiving these look like oh that's only a little step flipping 500 foot mountain yeah I come from here and I just ran down and got this straight away and I showcase to you guys in a quick second that I just want to kill these one more time to get the moon you know I'm kind of a lower room to be honest I lost four and a half million yesterday by falling off the map twice I can't believe it I fell off the mat with him yeah so I fell off the mat with him trying to park or a building and then I went back to try and get them guys I fell off the map again I put my controller down for about probably about 15 minutes I went out and looked at my car for about 10 minutes went toilet come back I couldn't believe that I couldn't believe it I'm not doing it again no no no no no yeah you know what we're getting out of here because I'm just gonna kill myself again I'm just gonna kill myself again okay so let me sit down and we'll go up to our show case to where this is actually equated you go up here guys and you get invaded get invaded by a bird so yeah where am I again last there we are so yeah we need to come up here this is what I come from anyway it's probably a quicker way well I think it's just it's just a straight run it's just a straight run yeah I'm actually I'm loving bleed weapons now I'm loving them I know I messed up with the the rules of blood so I could defy a giant before going to the bloody thing of Okinaw I believe his name is so he wasn't there for me man I was screwing do you remember it guys you remember this farming spot posted on YouTube a while back you're gonna appear kill these ladies kill them all that weapon there's cool by the way I don't even get that and you get I think I get like 2,000 each for them you run back up to the top there's about seven or eight up there as well kill them back down to the grace point good good times guys good times looking for farms you know I mean okay so we're gonna run downhill and go this way pass this err this windmill oh that's a bit weird friend the issue there never seen that before my series X never is that is that because of the ladies patch is it is it I'm not sure I actually came here when I got this and it was nighttime so it was much harder to see than this so this is a bit of a relief I've run straightforward and I saw a mountain on my left-hand side I think I had to scale up it we'll see as we get closer we'll see as we get closer we will see as we get closer but yeah guys this is definitely a decent weapon haha beautiful beautiful I haven't really used many twin blades to be honest I mean I think about the Gargoyles one I think I use that for a bit but I went straight back to my bloodhounds fang I just got the got the hang of that thing I think it's I may use this who does it I got a grace we're gonna grab that grace we're definitely gonna grab that grace where are we now what the hell happened to him also we're there okay so it's pretty cool so if you got that grace point guys follow where I'm from there simple now we'll go left here just left there they come up here guys then we come up here if you guys know any of other decent arcade weapons please let me know please I'm on them now I'm on them now I mean before I was just messing around trying to collect things but now now guys I'm checking out shit creating builds this and your vote should just haven't been doing just haven't been doing I think I've come up a bit high but I really matter that's the church that's the church now you run inside here and then I got kicked off my horse straight away and then I got invaded right here now I've completed the game already so no choices I've made have made a difference here so yeah you should be able to come here guys and get this thing killer and you see that on screen now get this thing guys get this thing you're gonna absolutely love it 100% especially if you're a fan those arcane weapons those blood last build-up weapons yeah guys if you enjoyed the video leave a like really helps out if you like what you see I want to see more out of ring be sure to subscribe hopefully people I will see you on that next one
