You have to unlock button on this joint too. Another thing that we do, I do is, I always look at the direction before I get there. So when I get here, I already know what to do. Watch these driving. Hello, how you doing? I have the Amazon deliveries. Right here? Oh, the room. Oh, okay. Thank you, sir. Coming in to join, they got package room. Let's see if this works. They still trying to make me scan stuff for some reason. Come on, here in the hub. Wet them like a tub. Let me see. It's 2020, 2020. In Valley cold. I don't know what's going on, guys. But both of them had the same exact cold. Let me try this cold. One of them had another one, 1706. That definitely can't be it. Let's see if I scan, hit him with the scan ski, what's gonna happen. Amazon flex, flex, scan ski again. Nope, so we're gonna leave that right there. We're gonna scan this. If not, we're gonna put them on the shelf. And the scan ski, that's not working. And the shelf, pop up, open, slide. Man, you have to take a picture of that. We're going, let's go. 30, show me worth it, baby. I see somebody else put the Amazon flex, flex, flex stuff on. Thank you. How you doing? Just sitting right here? All right, you have a good one. 16 to get this green. Another tip I'm gonna give you guys. Do not, oh, do not let them sign. It's gonna take way too long. Hello, here you go. Thank you, have a good one. Order 17, it's time to get this green. I'm actually gonna have to walk down here because we don't have to, a lot of these streets are, this is one way right here. So we have to go all the way around to come back. So we're not gonna do it that way. Now, back to what I was saying, to get these bands, you understand? When you get it, when you leave it with the doorman, it's gonna see, it says, leave it with the reception or the doorman. You don't have to let them sign because it's gonna take way too long.  I just put doorman right in there, type in DM or doorman. I usually type DM and then just sign myself because they ain't got time to play no game. How you doing, boss? We have a good one. 18, it's time for us to get green. Not in between. Let's go the other way to get in this drawer. Jeez. There we go. Access code. Thank you.

We have a good one. Number 20, they got two packages to drop off. They got this joint blocked off. They probably working on some stuff. It says leave it at the doorman and open 24 hours a day. So that's exactly what we're gonna do. Let's have to figure out how I'm gonna get in this joint and get it on, you understand? I'm a cold like a girl in Manila, you understand? Do I come in on this side or the other side? I think there's joint.  I gotta go to the other side, baby. It's all good. I'm gonna go do another thing. Right here I gotta walk around to get to the sidewalk. They just probably put some new concrete down there. This is like they just painted it too and put a speed bump in that joint to get it on. They have been going so far so good. I honestly believe that it's better for us to deliver but the traffic is more. So it's like a give and a take. I'm trying to get this cake. I don't know how you doing. Have Amazon packages, sir? Yeah, thank you. All right, thank you. You have a great day. Oh, we're here. But I'm not sure exactly where we're supposed to go because it says take it to 1455, but the address is 1450 R.I.P. Nipsey. It says go to the back though. Wasn't nothing back though.

Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation Health Insurance Overview Get ready to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Note that our insurance planning is a long-term financial strategy where we're going to use the adage of measure twice cut once. We're going to go through a formal process looking something like this. We're going to set the goals. We're going to develop a plan. We're going to put the plan into action, review the results, and then we'll periodically go through that process again. Most of this information can be found at Investopedia. What is health insurance? Which you can find online. Take a look at the references or resources. Continue your research from there. This is by Julia Kagan, updated March 6, 2022. First, what is health insurance? Health insurance is a contract that requires an insurer to pay some or all of a person's health care costs in exchange for a premium. Clearly, it's a form of insurance. It's a form of risk mitigation, but health insurance in many ways is more complicated than other types of insurance. In other words, when we looked at, say, property insurance, we're typically insuring against an event that may happen in the future, but which we're hoping doesn't happen in the future. For example, we're hoping a car accident doesn't actually happen, or we're hoping our home doesn't actually burn down, but if it were to happen, it would be financially catastrophic as well as possibly in other ways as well. Therefore, we're going to ensure mitigating the risk for it. Health insurance has a similar component to it in that clearly we could have an injury that could be financially catastrophic, a sickness, an illness that we would want to be insuring against in a similar fashion, but it also has due import to legislation that tries to basically want this preventative care involved. It's got more and more of that preventative type of care stuff in it. So that makes it good to some degree, but also more complicated to some degree when we're trying to figure out what we're actually doing with the insurance and what the costs and the benefits will be with regards to the premium versus the benefits that we will be getting from it. So more specifically, health insurance typically pays for medical, surgical, prescription drugs and sometimes dental expenses incurred by the insurance. So those medical kind of components that we want to determine which ones are covered, which ones are not for the type of health insurance plan that we're putting in place for our risk mitigation strategy. Health insurance can reimburse the insured for expenses incurred from illness or injury or pay for the care provider directly. So in other words, depending on the circumstances and the insurer, it might be reimbursing us for expenses we have or paying the care provider directly for the medical care. It often includes an employer benefit packages as a means of enticing quality employees with premiums partially covered by the employer, but often also deducted from an employee paycheck. In other words, it's traditionally been the case that the health insurance has been tied to our employers, which I think kind of works better back a long time ago because it used to be that many people worked for the same employer for a long period of time, possibly their whole life and you had a one income household and then it worked quite well to have the insurance possibly tied to a benefit program from the employer. It gets a little bit confusing these days because people are moving around, might have multiple jobs and so on and they could have two income households, which kind of complicates the decision for what the insurance is going to be. But that's still kind of how it is because there's tax benefits for that to be the case. So the first place we often look to see is insurance available to us and where we might be able to get the best deal or most benefit from it would be our employer to see if that would be available there. So the cost of health insurance premiums is deductible to the payer and the benefits received are tax free with certain exceptions for S corporation employees. So in other words, we have some benefits that help it to be the case in terms of tax benefits that the employer might be providing the health insurance benefits. So how health insurance works. Health insurance can be tricky to navigate. Managed care insurance plans require policyholders to receive care from a network of designated health care providers for the highest level of coverage. So we've got to make sure that when we're doing our health care that we're working within whatever system we have signed up within the contract of the health insurance that we have set up there will typically be some kind of network which will give us some types of limitations to the health care that we can seek under that particular plan. So if patients seek care outside the network they must pay a higher percentage of the cost. So if you go outside the network, they're going to penalize you for it because they want to keep you in the network. In some cases the insurance company may even refuse payment outright for services obtained out of network. Many management care plans, for example, health maintenance organizations those are the HMOs and point of service plans the POS require patients to choose a primary care physician who oversees the patient's cares makes recommendations about treatment and provides referrals to medical specialists. So in that case that type of system is basically saying we want you to have this one individual that's going to be the driver of where you're going to go what kind of care you're going to have or at least the options that are available to you. You go there first, they give you the options they're going to point you to specialist as needed which you would think would be all within the network of providers that they're part of preferred provider organizations those are the PPO's by contrast don't require referrals but do have lower rates for using in-network practitioners so we could dive into the differences between the HMO's and the PPO's which we might do in a future presentation insurance companies may also deny coverage for certain services that were obtained without pre-authorization in addition insurers may refuse payment for name brand drugs if a generic version or comparable medication is available at a lower cost so if you're doing something without the pre-authorization they might not like that and the huge disparity in terms of the costs of drugs could be there if there's going to be a generic version available as opposed to the name version possibly insurance companies taking that into consideration as well. All these rules should be stated in the material provided by the insurance company and should be carefully reviewed it's worth checking with employers or the company directly for incurring a major expense increasingly health insurance plans also have co-pays you've got these co-pays that you want to be considering which are a set of fees that planned subscribers must pay for services such as doctor visits prescription drugs and so on so note again with these insurance on the health insurance we're not just insurance often times for that catastrophic event meaning we're not just insurance against an illness that's going to be life threatening type of thing in a similar way as like we're insurance against a car accident or a storm for property insurance ensuring the home in that case we also have the preventative type of stuff in place where you might have this kind of co-pay situation with those we got the deductible that must be met before health insurance will cover or pay for a claim so in other kind of claims the deductible often times you think about as more of a traditional kind of insurance kind of component where if some catastrophe happened or some health emergency happened you would be paying the deductible before basically the insurance kind of kicks in so that's kind of a traditional type of insurance thing and co-insurance a percent of health care costs that the insured must pay even after they've met their deductible so you got that component as well in terms of the co-insurance and before they reach their out of pocket maximum for a given period so insurance plans with higher out of pocket costs generally have smaller monthly premiums than plans with low deductibles so clearly when you look at the interplay between these different components it would have the impact on the cost of the plans that you would basically expect in terms of these different kind of pros and cons in terms of the benefits that could be provided the deductibles and the costs and co-pays with regards to what you're paying for the plan in terms of the premium so when shopping for plans individuals must weigh the benefits of lower monthly costs against the potential risk of large out of pocket expenses in the case of a major illness or accident so we've got two kind of things that we're kind of measuring here we've got one if there's a major illness or something like that how much would I be covering and how much would the insurance kind of kick in and two with the day to day kind of or maybe not day to day but the more common preventative type of stuff how much am I paying with that kind of stuff and how much do I need the preventative type of stuff at this point in time how important is that to me we also have the high deductible health insurance plans the HDHPs so we've talked about this idea that health insurance has the kind of traditional thought of insurance where your insurance again you're insuring against a catastrophic event that happens sometime in the future such as for property damage like your house burning down a comparable illness for health insurance so that's like normal insurance that you would want to get to have that preventative item and then you've got those other things that are the preventative care which has the more insurance expensive policies possibly the more preventative care coverage you would have in order to cover that preventative stuff if you were to opt for the high deductible plans then you're typically saying look I'm just trying to insure like normal insurance I'm gonna try to insure the big event that might happen and I'm gonna try to lower my insurance premiums in that case and possibly pay more out of pocket for the preventative type of stuff so one increasingly popular type of health insurance is a high deductible health plan an HDHP these insurance plans are characterized by higher deductibles and lower premiums so you got a higher deductible if something happens you got to pay more for the deductible before the health insurance kicks in but of course you get lower premiums when you return for that and you would be covered against that big problem that could happen and be financially devastating for 2021 the IRS defines high deductible health plan as one that has deductibles of at least $1,400 for an individual $1,800 for a family total out of pocket maximums are $7,000 for an individual and $14,000 for a family for 2022 the deductible limits are the same but the out of pocket maximums will increase to $7,000 $7,050 and $14,100 respectively out of pocket maximums don't apply to out of pocket network services then you could have benefits for these high deductibles so high deductible health plans offer a unique advantage and that if you have one you're permitted to open and contribute pre-tax income for a health savings account which can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses so in other words you could think about this from the law term or why does this kind of come into play you're basically saying okay from a legal perspective you can see that the health insurance has been kind of skewed to be a traditional type of insurance that's going to be insuring you against a catastrophe that happens that's going to give you for the preventative coverage because they're trying to get people to do more of the preventative coverage it would be kind of like telling people for their car insurance they're going to have laws and litigation that's going to make the car insurance cover oil changes and tire rotations and whatnot like that so you got this kind of change and the insurance environment but clearly that's going to increase the amount of the cost and well look I just want to buy the insurance as it's normally there for I want to make sure I'm insured in case I get an illness that would be devastating financially to me and I'm going to pay out of pocket for the other kind of health care stuff that we have so you could say okay well then you might choose a high deductible type of plan in that case but the law still wants to and that means that most people that would do that would be lower income possibly type of people but the law still wants you to be covered on the preventative stuff so then you've got these benefits if you're in the high deductible plans to put money into the health savings account so let's take a look at it one time again you'd only have this if you had the high deductible account you might have some tax advantages for that to help you or incentivize the preventative care so high deductible health plans offer a unique advantage in that if you have one and contribute pre-tax income to a health savings account which can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses these plans offer a triple tax benefit in that contributions are tax deductible huge contributions grow on tax deferred basis and qualified withdrawals for health care expenses are tax free so if you take the money out it's tax free so it's a little bit complex to do to set this up because it gets kind of confusing but if you can do it right then you get the tax benefit and then you get the high deductible plan which would be lower on the premium side so in addition to health insurance ill people who qualify can get help from a number of auxiliary products available on the market these include disability insurance critical or catastrophic illness insurance and long-term LTC insurance special considerations in 2010 Barack Obama President Barack Obama and the Affordable Care Act the ACA into law in participating states the act expanded Medicaid a program a government program that provides medical care for individuals with very low incomes so in addition to these changes the ACA which is the Affordable Care Act established the federal health insurance marketplace it also prohibited insurance companies from denying coverage to patients with pre-existing conditions to remain on their patients insurance plan until they reach the age of 26 marketplace helps individuals and businesses shop for qualified insurance plans at affordable rates insurance available through the ACA which is the Affordable Care Act marketplace is mandated by the law to cover 10 essential health benefits through the healthcare.gov so there's a website to take a look at there's a website shoppers can find marketplace in their state so that could be beneficial especially for people that are in the low income area just note that it also can be complex because we got more laws and regulations there's could be tax kind of situations that are tied to it when they kind of calculate your premium which also can be quite confusing so you want to make sure you have that taken into consideration when you're getting advice or looking into that option so we got the Medicare and CHIP to public health insurance plans Medicare and the Children's Health Insurance Program the CHIP CHIP target older individuals and children respectively who need help with health insurance Medicare which is available to those age 65 or older also serves people with certain disabilities the CHIP plan has income limits and covers babies and children up to the age of 18 so what is health insurance and why do we need it health insurance is an agreement you make with an insurance with an insurer to have them pay some or all of your medical expenses in exchange for a premium so health insurance is going to be like other types of insurance although it can be more complex because we're not just insuring often times for a catastrophe that might be happening that would be a financial catastrophe but we also have the insurance that's covering possibly some of the preventative stuff and that makes it could be good could be beneficial but often also more complex to think about which insurance would be best for our particular situation having health insurance can keep you from incurring medical bills you can't afford to pay out of pocket who needs health insurance the simple answer is everyone health insurance can help to offset the cost of minor medical issues or major ones including surgeries or treatment for life treatment illnesses so but if you don't have health insurance you won't be penalized for it under the terms of the affordable care act so how do you get health insurance if your employer offers a health insurance as part of an employee benefits package you may be covered by it so that would be the first place to look because we still have these tax benefits that make it so that health insurance is often kind of linked to an employer which again I think worked better in the past where many people worked for one employer for a long time but we still have that kind of situation so the first place you might be looking is your employer to see if you can get a good health insurance and then go from there if you can also purchase health insurance through the health insurance marketplace so this might be mainly for possibly lower income individuals if you don't have access to health care elsewhere through the employer you got that health insurance marketplace option certain individuals may qualify for health insurance coverage through the Medicaid or Medicare programs as well how much does health insurance cost your costs for health insurance may vary based on the scope of coverage the type of plan you have and your deductibles so it's a bit more complex than other kinds of insurance because you get you might have these other components in different things that are taken into consideration as opposed to like liability insurance where it's basically the deductible and how much is going to be covered in the event that they covered event you know happens and there's going to be a payout so you got it to and obviously the premiums will change the price of the insurance the premiums that you're paying will vary in a way that you would kind of expect with regards to these other other factors including the deductibles the variety of the flexibility of the coverage and what is actually covered the copays and so on copays and coinsurance can also add to the cost so it's important to consider what you'll pay before enrolling in a health care plan


So, the population in most established economies is aging, and this will lead to an increase in age-related disorders such as dementia, and the burden could be truly overwhelming. But a better understanding of brain plasticity holds the promise of improving brain health and resilience. Plasticity is the ability of the brain to change and adapt. It makes learning a language, mastering a sport, or recovering from a brain injury possible. And the neurons in our brains and the connections they form with one another orchestrate plasticity. In our heads, we have literally trillions of these connections, and the brain can individually amplify or suppress each of these connections to change the way they process information. So, brain plasticity is highly individual and at the same time, obviously, extremely complex. Young brains tend to learn more easily than older brains, but the adult brain, of course, can still learn and change. Here you see what a two-week auditory training program does to brain activation. It changes large areas of brain activation, and this change in activation is proportional to performance and can last a very long time. However, the characteristics of plasticity in the young versus the older brain, they're different. And this is important to preserve the skills that we learned earlier in life. Generally speaking, older brains process sensory information differently, and they need training, punishment, or reward to learn. But at the same time, the precise mechanisms of regulation of brain plasticity are still poorly understood, and a lot more work needs to be done. Something that we seem to know, however, is that the quality of the sensory inputs reaching the brain, auditory, visual information, seems to be an important key to the health of the elderly brain. We and others have found that degradation in the quality of these sensory inputs can actually lead to the emergence of age-related brain impairments, thinking impairments. For example, noisy auditory inputs due to age-related hearing loss might be one of the most important, potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of dementia. So that we can hypothesize then that forms of sensory augmentation, like using hearing aids, for example, might potentially mitigate or even perhaps reverse these age-related impairments. And that would be an interesting alternative to drug-based approaches, which have unfortunately largely failed so far. But interestingly, brain training itself, what you do with your brain, might also reverse or mitigate age-related impairments. Just think of the best musicians in symphony orchestras. They have to practice extremely regularly to keep their skill, to keep their position. And I would argue that most brain processes need some form of maintenance. We've been trying to look for effective, accessible, low-cost methods of training the brain to keep it healthy. But what exercises will be most effective? Is it going to be Sudoku, crossword puzzles, memory games, or even perhaps video games? Rather, it seems that training strategies that involve our senses, again, visual training or audit training, hold the most promise. But what specific exercise is going to work best for what specific individual? This is clearly not known yet.  What we have to realize is that brain plasticity is supported by hundreds, if not thousands, of molecular processes in the brain. And aging, disease conditions, genetic factors, drugs all powerfully influence these processes. So it will be important to identify good biomarkers that will help us identify these differences and create effective training strategies. And my lab in collaboration with my startup company, InnoDem Neurosciences, has been looking at non-invasive methods like eye-tracking and hearing analysis to find such biomarkers. And the hope is that these biomarkers are going to help us predict how a specific individual is going to respond to specific training intervention. But because there's so much variability between individuals, clearly a one-size-fits-all approach is not going to work. And these individual differences and also what exactly needs to be trained will have to be taken into consideration. And some kids need a different approach to schooling. So learning to read, to speak, or to sing, and to surmount ordeals is really possible because of this tremendous adaptability of our brains. And education and cognitive remediation, brain exercises, helped by brain plasticity could be an important way to improve quality of life. I really sincerely think this is one of the most interesting and promising field of study in neuroscience. Thank you.


Okay. Okay. Okay guys so welcome everybody. I'd like to welcome you to the talk about Maccenta operating system First of all to set up some rules. You can stop me at any time you can ask the questions You can whatever, but please don't ask me about the licenses. I'm not going to answer anything Please take this offline So to start First of all, I have to thank to Sun Microsystems for sponsoring my trip and my stay here at Denbon I'm going to talk about the operating system that is not in any way related to Sun's business It's entirely open source and it's built of the parts that are available on the network for everybody of you and Basically, the Maccenta operating system is part of my hobby. It's not related to my job So that's why I have to thanks for sponsorship What we are going to look at This is the short agenda and to make it fast I'm working with Debian and with Ubuntu for more than eight years. Although I'm not an official Debian developer or Ubuntu developer I did build quite a few of the packages for kind of commercial purposes in some of my businesses I was working for At the moment I work for Sun Microsystems as something that is called Sustaining Engineer Which means fixing the bugs and fixing the problems of the customers in enterprise software Which is very interesting by the way And one on one of the Maccenta operating members so a bit of motivation why I'm working for Maccenta these are quotes these are the quotes from the Jonathan's book. Jonathan is the CEO of Sun Microsystems, a very bright guy. So I believe you to read these things. Those guys is here I think you all know this Well one statement I believe Like I want Solaris to be that easy and the last one well terrific technology It's definitely sure these things should be trivial to fix. That's not so easy So why should you care before we go further I would like to ask you a few questions How many of you actually are using or playing with open Solaris in the room? That's great. So The other questions ZFS How many people know ZFS or have played with ZFS or know the features? Detrace. This is just for me to get the image Detrace is more interesting for people. Maccenta. That's absolutely great because I wanted to tell you that it will be no rocket science and not many surprising things for you But it looks like there might be some surprises So So the first thing all of you I suppose know be builder personal package builder you a Magic of the devian So I will show you how to feed up the package builder using ZFS technologies and zones technologies and basically open Solaris things since I don't like Typing the commands here at the shell I have Re-order the demo that I will just let you watch just by the way these things are available on the website for the later Training proposals and all these things. I just don't want to waste the resources So what you are seeing here? I hope you can see it is Basically the next item booted. It's kind of a pet our alpha version booted off the ZFS file system To get more info about ZFS just Google it and get some of the demos so I'm going to create a ZFS file system that will hold zones zones are basically intelligent change routes or Then virtual or parallel to your machine. So whatever you call it. That's why Don't set in the morning that if you're interested in virtualization you would like to see the stock and Now look how easy it is to create a new environment Which is fully virtualized We're creating new zone that will be called people there that will That will be stored in zones people there can just guess that in some people there will be some some root file system We will tell him that it should use this this Network interface it should get this IP address in order to get to the network This is very similar to what XM XM list is doing for them Basically showing the configured virtual machines that you live in your system. I'm sorry wait a minute. I will Basically the EA zero is a physical interface That is shared across multiple zones by creating the virtual interfaces So basically the semantics in open Solaris are the same like in Linux So you take Eternate zero colon zero colon one colon two colon three and you are creating virtual interfaces that are lying on the same physical cable So I am here telling him that this zone really shared this physical interface and as a result of this it will create a virtual interface Basically for you what you expect So let it continue so now Install the zone Again interesting thing is that there is some CFS thing going in behind you should all know this this is a plane the bootstrap that is basically creating the instance of an extent up into Some root file system You can see some of the sum W packages. These are basically the next entire open Solaris stuff The rest is just playing the VM or any Ubuntu and so you see that it to basically took 10 minutes to bootstrap the zone Yeah, it's using at proxy to download the packages to speed it up You see that the zone is installed and now I will show you how to kind of emulate the people you're people they're walking So you put the zone Takes about two seconds the login to the zone and you've got another open Solaris instance running It's the zones are basically very very very similar to Zen Except for the fact that they are part of the mainline open Solaris kernel You don't need to patch anything. You don't need to update anything recompile it's Just working so I'll get inside inside the zone. It's fully isolated It's sharing the kernel with the global zone so Yeah, right So what I'm doing here is basically to adding some of the different packages to the zone in order to create In order to create kind of people the right root file system containing the necessary tools So you see the zone is running. I'm going I'm getting out of the zone and I will just stop the zone in order to clone it for my building purposes so If you remember this zone CFG command that I was using in the beginning to create the zone I'm basically kind of putting everything in one liner to speed the things up As the bubble said I will create two clones of the table Clones in the sense of SVN copy SVN branches Which means cheap copies not full copies so you see it's like a Not even a second Configure it that I do have to do other zones and now Watch this two seconds And you have a new instance Okay What is happening in the background in the background you see this instead of creating your blah blah blah or instead of copying That fs clone has been created for the zone that fs clone is basically as a SVN copy Very probably very probably I'm not working with LVM since like two years back So I don't know where it's where it's going But very probably because snapshotting the fastest that means taking the freeze point in the time So that you can use it in life cycle, but back up it back it up. Sorry. Yeah, so that would be the same So where we are so we have seen that we have flown these virtual machines During one second. Yeah, that's the thing ZFS clone Here you have the actual clones Or actual snapshots that are marking the state of the file system in certain point in time What comes next? I'll probably boot it. Yeah, so well now you can see that actually the virtual network interface was created for the zone and I'm now logging to the zone Getting the build dependencies for screen and recompiling screen, which is basically what would be there Run on top of screen Source package files what it would do. So all these all things all these things should be familiar to you except the fact that there is Solaris I386 Architecture yeah, if you get out of the zone the root file system is in the in the zones Subdirectory basically you see the same files there So this is the simulation of how we would build it at this moment I would probably go destroy the zone which would which is what would be there People will outbox if you rebuild the package More interesting example If you are rebuilding very often package that has a lot of build dependencies I have chosen genome session because I just Was thinking that it got a lot of build dependencies This is this is what would the people review every time And I think it's doing it, you know probably better as most of your The DD's you probably know better than me what what it takes to rebuild the huge packages like Some x things and things like this so For the people to pay starches at an unpacking and all this time. Wow. Yeah That's why I'm showing you baby because this is what I experienced and So yeah, I did speak this process up in the recording, but it seems that it's still very slow Again, you could see some some of the Sun W Noise in there is some lips It's basically Kernel plus lip see us if config plus tools like this is something that is called all when And this is basically the thing that you download off the open source.org that you compile install and run and get Open source Cells contain cell hosting without anything else just to be an essay to be in the eye It contains more things than that basically Linux kernel And it's done differently because you basically get a huge package that contains everything Suitable to run the system including the things like graph I believe so that is like the module in its tools separated from the kernel itself And everything managed differently. This is all just one big pile Where we are night the person Time for questions. No, we don't have we don't use pool at the moment This old old with binary source and all these things without the pool and moreover We are in kind of transition in period at the moment, but the repositories there is huge if you have to add point GNU Solaris point org you will basically get oh Guess what I have to admit that I was not watching the flash export till the end Well, it seems to be broken my place died in Solaris Yeah, it's kind of problem with this with this nice export written in software written in UK No, okay, I'm sorry for this I was I was really not watching it and it seems that either it's in an issue of the flash player on the Solaris or it's Just a diet completely wait a minute. I'll try to kill this beast. This looks like real Time for a break I have to restart the computer Seems that the flesh flesh in this this version is killing me completely I told you that next time ties a hobby and it's a community thing entirely. It's no way related to some business Not yet So basically until until the mission starts and I till I can log in again because it's booting from this removable hard drive What the point of the demo was that After you finish the installation of the build build dependencies for the genome session into the Change route into the zone you hold the zone and again You use the ZFS snapshots to basically build the forks or build the clones of this environment in order to do the so instead of Builder build genome session and unpacking the targe is that rooting into the targe is that installing all the build dependencies Rebuilding it everything copying out of the change room. You simply do the clone of this of this built environment Logging into it in a second and you just start building your package Of course, assuming the build dependencies are not Changing but for a personal work cycle if you are doing it on your desktop, you know what you are doing might save time So I don't know if I understand it correctly. Can you repeat it? Well, suppose you have a Pbuilder 6 and you only have some packages after having the currently Yeah, right Yeah, so while the question was basically if you if you have one original Route file system of the of the Pbuilder and if you clone it and then do the modifications in the clone Of course these modifications are only in the clone and there is no way to propagate them back This was the snapshot is for so you either delete or the first one and just continue from the second one I don't think if it's possible to delete the one as long as it contains some clones because there is like a Transsectional journal in the file system itself that prevents you from using the origin as long as you depend on the origin in the clones But you will just descend from the hierarchy. So you will do another clone Maybe this kind of technique would also be possible using union fs if we have a Pbuild environment for a certain package and we just Put the RAM disk with union fs over it. Isn't this the same? So so if then if you're running the the Pbuilder all rides will go into the RAM disk Which is overlaid using union fs Most of the packages built with the Lipsy actually I have I will have a slide with some statistics afterwards and The situation is that basically most of the GNU stuff you can just compile These are just the compiler glitches linkers glitches Lip-tool things configure animalese linux Related bashisms in the same some of the shell strips reliance on the pads But nothing normal. Well, just classical portability issue There is nothing like reporting sick winning or unix environment windows Like it's it's very similar. Actually the systems are very similar in the core So I will try to seek with the end because I don't believe the video is broken. I think it was the slash issue I write exactly so. Yeah, so actually the point here is that it took four minutes to actually Create or install the build dependencies for the genome session into this 90 zone so I will actually at the moment hold the original zone and create the clones and The clones will be Well, their goal the goal is to speed up the creation of the clean environment where you can rebuild your package Knowing everything is fine Sorry, we should have told me that Cloning the zone and logging into it by ZFS clone three seconds So that's the point. That's the point basically these snapshot features of ZFS Can be used Very effectively to create virtual machines basically clean environments in order to speed up things dramatically So let me open the presentation The question was why should I care? So well, this is one of the things basically open sorries has got some really interesting Oh What's this? I thought it's redone in order to not break it Another of the things why should you care? Apart from ZFS and detris is the binary compatibility. It's it's something It's something that is really rocking And absolutely unknown in the linux world where you have to I when I was listening yesterday at the talk with the Binary modules on even the source modules for the linux kernel and red packaging all these I mean devian has red has got has done a great job with the module assistant easing these things and making it as easy as possible But is there really a way to ship? three versions of the driver for three different kernels with three different configurations And not even talking about that you are not going to upload everything into unstable because it just doesn't make sense This problem does not exist on open sorries the api or api better say binary binary Interface of the kernel for the drivers has not changed for past four years and the drivers are still working and new ones are still working So it simply does not exist For example I have Open source project I'm sorry, I can't comment on this well, but we at least make sure that this doesn't happen with the things that are coming from some So I can't guarantee that this is not going to happen with the third party stuff, of course, but It's about the people so some of the history of nexenta initially was created by the nexenta system startup That is still existing that that is still in some way Founding the projects and sponsoring the project It's hosted in stand for at the moment. Uh, there are like eight core Developers like me basically the people who take care of the of the things and the rest something comes from the community I'm well saying here that we are sharing some of the principles We are an open source project like any other else and we are trying to well get The best from the community and learn the best from the community The mission is to create open sorries for human beings. Well, I consider myself to be human being and Well, you know where this wording comes from and I think it's a great description for for the future linux philosophy and well unix philosophy in general The best combination of open sorries that we engineer you wouldn't Should be no surprise. You should have seen that this basically works These are the tools I have just enumerated here that fsd trace zones Pete's tech. I think it's available for linux at the moment already. If not, it should not be a Problem of the thing to write it and the Kernel debugger live kernel debugger very very useful. Think if you are doing some hard kernel stuff non-existent in the linux world You know the debium part of the story So well the state you have been asking how many of the packages can be recompiled basically at the moment what we have Is like 12k packages from various sources like ubuntu debium various components of the systems that have been At least recompiled and installed It doesn't say anything about whether they are running or sick folding in various parts of the code But that's the thing. So some of the examples another thing is the maintenance most of them It's not that like the out of the box compilation. It always contains at least some of the small things to to fix the linking issues and I have not I don't have the stats But it would be really easy to just ssh to the to the subversion repository that is hosting the source code of all these And just do some of the svm diffs because basically what we store there is we store there The upstream upstream for us is ubuntu or debium including the packaging information everything And then we branch it to another directory and there we do the modifications for us So it's very simple to take the diff between this and Produce some statistics of how many files and lines have been changed in order to compile and next and But I think for for most of the clean packages that just configure make make install very well with cdbs There are no problematic parts. The problematic parts are the pieces like open office firefox thunderbird and these these ugly things using More homes I Probably use the mic Are you building with the site to power or gcc? Good question. Most of the things we compile with gcc and some exceptional things like Open office. We do compile it sans trio because it simply doesn't compile onto lorries with gcc It's just a matter of like fixing few make files and things like this, but it doesn't work. It's a question of manpower I think you had a question Interested in that a type of good Just that you have to update So are you This next century or is it really that you have so many Yeah, that's a very good question and you're hitting the most problematic part of of this little man basically the build failures are Various types of things. For example, one of the things I was fixing for Thunderbird Was that it was not linking properly. It was seq folding and by looking into the code I've seen that it's seq folding get the zero zero zero something So it basically the linking step did not understand the symbol versioning and Something that is called filter symbols on solaris in solaris lips really beats right and other things and Toolchain problem basically the benio tails benio tails Specifically ld does not work correctly on solaris under certain edge cases And if you hit these edge cases, you get really interesting situations where the linking is succeeding But it basically resolves the absolute addresses of the symbols in the wrong way So things like these invocation of the command line. I mean if you are invoking ld directly You might need to alter the switches that you are passing to ld because on linux most of the various different shared Linking combinations produce the same result, but it's not true for other platforms. So you have to find you these things Kind of fix fix the upstream linking process What are the questions you have for for this part in a minute? So I was wondering In this toolchain, how much are what are your actual intentions? Do you ever plan to port it to glpc or I mean because you obviously included the other ld So where is this going? What are your directions? That's a good question Basically it would be probably a community consensus. So I don't have to direct answer it I personally would like or what okay, I will say what what sun is doing sun is shipping gcc I'm using some linker because some linker has got better features when it comes to symbol versioning and backward compatibility things. So they basically ignore the benio tails This will be a great thing, but we have to fix all those all those 20k packages to link properly and fix these linking errors Which I don't know if it can be solved by live tool, but which is a really huge amount of work So the logical thing would be To use just gcc and gnu benio tails and just forget the sun stuff completely because it would better fit the gnu world of Side of things but again because there are these bugs and one has to fix the box and at the moment There are not enough solaris users that have the gnu knowledge in order to fix these bugs So it will probably come with time because these are really the edge cases and benio tails and gnu and fsf folks are Really hard to crowd to their worst and the beyond people and I don't need it in a band but they really For them this is the religion kind of Thing And while the third option would be to just use the sun compiler and some linking Which according to some sun engineers would produce the best best results, but this has got the Common line incompatibility issues and again you have to kind of fix all the 20k packages The great thing is that basically sun studio version 12 Is available for linux and for solaris It's really downloadable, but it's not really redistributable still And it has got some But that would get fixed. It's just a matter of time and convincing the right people And it's got some kind of gcc compatibility Command line layer. So if you don't invoke ld directly, but through the gcc You're pretty much getting to the same command line strings just using the different binary So again, this is a matter of time to to fix these things. We are living in very interesting era at the moment Because it would it would mean this would mean that Sun studio can be packaged for deviant can be used for optimization of multi-traded programs because we claim that sun studio Does better than gcc in certain cases. I don't have the statistics to prove it Yeah, I was talking about the binary compatibility style. We do take Compatibility seriously at sun and we do take it seriously with nexenta as well So at the moment we are living in the skis of running world where we want to be compatible with the g and uwm This type of world and as well with the solaris type of world so pkg add and pkg rm are the solaris variants of dkg So they are basically implemented using aline aline does support the conversion of these packages for for years But there is this problem With the environment basically Solaris environment if you go into any existing version of solaris Does use different tools than gnu? You probably know these frameworks about tar about the sum and about well basically any gnu tool that is available This kind of re-implementation and in some way incompatible with the gnu with the gnu world So I think now comes the other demo about The compatibility and how what's what's our approach to it? We hope we will survive Not them well As long as there is no representation after me, it's fine so favorite open solaris tools favorite Debian tools So you see that these tools are basically coming from from something sum w If you go to any recent open solaris You will basically find these packages their Names remain the same across the systems You see the binary solaris i386 architecture You see the structure of the repository is basically the old one This sum w packaging stuff is what you basically get if you download open solaris and recompile it yourself So this is this is something called owen This is the demonstration of the default behavior. So if you're working with nexenta, we are kind of Assuming that you are the young guy who grown up on Linux and who expects the things to be gnu But it's compatible Yeah, so by switching this variable, you're basically you're basically switching the behavior of the system You will see Don't be too fast I have a bonus question, but I don't have a t-shirt with me I haven't gotten a sun marketing material Our favorite answer So those who haven't played with detrace, I would encourage you to go for it Open solaris So really you should take a look at detrace Otherwise, you will not be competitive on the IT market anymore. It should be a self-explanatory Question for your bonus question. How does this work? Just try to guess simpler No simpler I don't know Right, we're in the t-shirt Basically, there is an exec be easiest call that is the Main point of everything that does exec and fork or fork and exec So it's it's there is some some replica that that the text is this variable and dispatch is the invocation I would I would have another question at the moment. What's the drawback of it? It's here Can you elaborate more? Yeah, no, fine fair enough. Yeah, it's it's actually Kind of evil because you can't rely on the path Being consistent. You can't see the files in the system. You can start the pin as age But actually what is being involved with something else? So it's got some drawbacks, but Looking into the Future and into the past for the compatibility reasons I think it's pretty clever in order to moderate the binary compatibility whereas Changing the roads because if you have to be 100 person compatible with the past you can't evolve This is what open slurries is facing at the moment and all these flamers called user g and user f s f w It's really it's really it's not it's not fun because we take the binary So if you have um sun and personality set zero artist onset, um, are you essentially just using The solaris kernel and the whole user space is a new system or do you still rely on some of the solaris base tools Let me just continue the demo. So we will work with it a little bit more to see what's actually happening So we have you have seen that there are some binaries being involved from user sun So you can see that these are these are actually the binaries that are there These should be all of the binaries that are delivered by open solaris and that are conflict with g and u So you see there are some interesting things like true and false and they are And well by by by using dpk g search, but basically I will do some tricks to Find find the people so I can't say what these packages are doing because we have these eight cars naming scheme for the packages But if you look a little bit more that for example Sun wt o o is So you see that some of the files are in their locations where you expect them to be On the solaris system and some of some of them have been relocated Which is the evil part of things that we are basically can be breaking the compatibility Exactly So basically the point is behind this that if you do pkg add Of the driver or of any legacies solaris package You first or pkg and rubber switch the environment for you and the post package post install scripts and everything is running in the sun context Like in 95 of this percent of the sun context And this uh as we were talking about yesterday it works for the drivers and it works for the simple packages It doesn't work for the huge packages That was the demo Continuing at the moment We are Very probably going to follow the ubuntu structure of the repositories for the simple part that we want to go commercial And we want to let the user know what is supported and what is not supported We don't care too much about the licenses So I really like the ubuntu model which we're basically you care about licensing you tell the user But you also tell him what you support and what not which is important for some people to know where you can where they can push the money So at the moment we mainly concentrate on ubuntu and Next centric development integration of the gnu and open solaris you have seen already the zones for example the zones On on the plain open solaris. They work a little bit different play The packaging in solaris is different. So the integration in next center basically Involves the integration of the bootstrap into this process that you use the bootstrap to prepare the infrastructure And there are some other things This is the flow How it at the moment happens There has there had been a path Where we are basically for some things going through the devian We are kind of we are alpha so we can play with the things So we can experiment and see what works and what doesn't work Because we wanted to have the nice desktop We have chosen this model at the moment another demo Again, you will see some of the Features of open solaris Brandy, brandy, brandy Here we go So you should Recognize these commands from the first demo. It will be again about the zones But now it will be about the feature that is called branding of the zones So I will basically create the brandy zone and the brand will be LX like Linux Linux zone implements the syscall api of or api of linux 2.4 kernel You see that the brand has changed to LX I'm now taking the root file system image that was created using the dev bootstrap again just dev bootstrap entire great tool And I will just install the zone from this root file system You see the ZFS partner again This should be familiar for you This is a Minor issue You see the edge manager It's okay. It's like a fake linux, but it's just as the real edge So for the demonstration purposes, I will again recompile screen package So that you know by heart what commands are involved in the devian rules Just to convince you that there is no trick in it. I was able to install everything from sarge Everything from from the ubuntu into the zone with the plain dev bootstrap at the moment It's just that simple So you see that the packages are again resulting in the in the main file system And now comes the cloning. You have already seen the cloning using using ZFS snapshots and I will basically do the same thing But for linux branded zones now the more interesting thing Before report de-trace to linux kernel Let's see if you can de-trace the linux applications On open solars I will be basically tracing the open syscall to see what files are being opened if i'm doing something in the zone Cloning the penguin one second per one penguin So what are we working on at the moment? We are trying to get out version 1.0 Which will be called server storage edition Basically because of the fact that it integrates nicely apt zones and zfs Which is interesting for the server things We have kind of agreed on the Dappletrape as big face Mainly because it's got warranty support for some more four years, which is a Which is not a moving target for us And which has got a great selection of packages in main basically What we had decided to do is to drop the graphical support Which means that we will not officially support it will probably it's in the repository It's working but there are some bugs and the maintenance is just complicated That's why we were talking about the work of ubuntu Is doing with Debian and we will we have to join somehow and Some of the features that we are waiting for zfs root is already integrated partially Open Solaris is able to boot from the zfs file system But it has to follow some of the rules from the root file system It can be mirrored, but it might not be the rate 5 rate 3 for various reasons. We can talk about later on We want to have the smf Manifests called for all the demox and services basically smf is this some re-implementation of initd scripts as if we don't have enough re-implementation of the initd scripts Yeah, we don't need to wait for the gi to stabilize and we don't need to wait for all the Important desktop related things to be put back into the open source kernel because these things are progressing very well And but still there is a lot of things to go for I mean over the past year hardware abstraction ladder Some 3d things were done I don't even remember the names of these components that are necessary for the desktop to work out to mount the volumes and all these things So it's it's progressing very well on this front, but it needs some more months to finish So we're not going to wait for a good next end We have been already talking about obstacles the compilation stuff and the schizophrenia to not be Like sure and what to use and what to not use Plenty of choice too much of choice Yeah And if you want to get involved you can go to this website. It's still alive, but at the moment we are doing some massive changes So you can expect having the next center dot org website going live There are some things that we Kind of don't want to use the gnu and solaris anymore because these are both trademarks as we figure out And this is kind of well sensitive So from the brand management of the perspective we will go with the next center Time for questions You talked about grub support for the defense and also different kinds of partitions like vdark partitions I don't know much about this to talk about it. What I know is that basically sun has done some modifications to the grub one point x versions In order to be able to boot open solaris on intel platform As far as I know these modifications haven't made it upstream Probably because grub one point something is unmaintained at the moment and grub two point something Is not released yet. So these modifications are lying in the In the on source code repository and they are completely irrelevant. So if you are playing with the next center On your real hard drive be careful not to overwrite the grub for solaris with the grub from ubuntu, for example Because the solaris It's called detox partitions or slices. They are basically different beasts and they need special Support in grub in order to find them all the hard drives and to find the kernel in there So if you use the grub from next center, it will put aureal linuxes and everything else But if you use it lysers, I will want to that's probably all I can say about it What about next center on spark hardware? Good questions. I'm always out this question. It's a matter of people and time Nothing more. I don't see any other obstacles. I'm going to have a lot of questions Yeah Well, first of all about you last night you were saying that the new people aren't interested in fixing the boats Is it that they are not interested in Investigating the boats or in fixing them also use and patches. Are you trying to fix them on your side? Well, that's that's what I said if there is not enough exposure And not enough bright people working on the open source kernel from the gm inside of things You can't fix them. I mean I tried some of the things But for example, this one with the wrong resolution of the filter symbols. I can't simply go for her I have found a workaround that works like changing made files in order to make it link to software But looking at the code I can't fix it So it needs someone else and I although I do have a reproducible case And I think I didn't send the instructions how to reproduce it It's for for someone to fix it. It means get the open storage system get the gcc get the program compile it And this is not very easy at the moment Probably not but probably there are no official patches to be produced for this. So it's like Because there was another comment that some people are not going to fix this Because we do have our own linker and we don't have our own compiler and we don't care about the gcc And it would be probably very honest for me to say that The same thing that FSS people think about the some Solaris engineers The same thing some of the Solaris engineers think about the FSS people So it's kind of a stupid that work that On the workshop the work can resolve probably Well, I'm talking to a few FSS people and they seem to be not excited about The new Solaris and Nexentra and so on Maybe people from the new project which are who are not directly linked to the FSS Are there many people from the Nexentra project in the debut you made to work here? I don't think so. I don't think so And the moment the names of the people I know that are working for Nexentra I haven't seen any of the names on the email as the official people So probably not The I will add some one one comment yours for me Think this is the reason why we want to get Nexentra 1.0 out as soon as possible To make it easy for people to get the c8 installed it and work on it and fix the box So I'm very happy to hear that you are saying that they are interested in this Yeah Well, we're out of time now, but if anyone wants to ask other questions, please hang around So I think I will be around so if we can we can talk more and you have it running here If you want to play with it, it's on my removable high drive so you can rate it


Minister for Agriculture Hon. Alfred Prosper says moves are afoot to increase opportunities and benefits for the stakeholders in the fisheries industry. Miguel Morissette has the details. On Tuesday the 28th of September, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development, Hon. Alfred Prosper said that the fisheries sector is one which remains on his priority list. Hon. Alfred, a former chief forestry officer, said fisheries plays an essential role in providing food and livelihood for thousands. Minister Prosper is currently exploring compensational and beneficial avenues for fishers. The fishing exercise is a very risky business. Sometimes most times we hear our fishers go out and see, they are lost and see, the engines, the boats sink because of bad weather conditions, but there is nothing to compensate, very little to compensate in terms of loss of life and so on. And I'm really concerned about some form of insurance for our fishers. When our life is lost at sea, the family members can benefit. When a fisherman decides that at age 65 or 60, I cannot afford to continue going to see. It should be some form of health insurance, insurance coverage for them, just like the NIC will do to the regular workers. The Minister added that the removal of $1.50 excise tax on fishers is only the beginning of future plans to alleviate some of the challenges confronting fishers. Insurance coverage is one of the areas that I'm giving high priority in terms of how we assist our fishermen. The government of St. Lucia in its manifesto indicated that the $1.50 excise fuel tax will be removed, so that will be an ease for our fishermen because that will be able to give them some latitude in terms of benefiting by reducing or removing the $1.50 tax on gas and fuel for the fishermen. It's really a very, very, very important sector, but it's also a sector with lots of challenges and it's one of the sectors that I will be giving a lot of attention in terms of attempting to address most, if not all of the challenges that the government faces. Reporting from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development, I am Miguel Morissette.


Welcome to Sovvy TV, it's the Everton News Daily, this isn't going to be a very exciting news daily, I won't lie to you but we've got a couple of interesting stories. It started with Everton's away fixture to Arsenal, which was meant to take place in September, it got rescheduled because of the Queen's passing. That's been finally rescheduled, it's going to take place on March 1st at 7.45pm, it's a Wednesday night, so if you've already got your tickets and already paid for them like I have, make sure you get the day booked off, probably get the Thursday booked off as well, because by the time you get in, depending on where you are, you know, it's going to be early in the morning or late at night. So yeah, hopefully we can go, we beat them on the weekend, it was a comfortable win, so hopefully we can go do the same at Everton's because I don't think we've done that before, well we don't do it often, I think we beat them last in 2020, but other than that it's not really somewhere we won't get results, we've got to beat their 5-1 last season, hopefully this season under Sean Deitch, we can go and get a result there, who knows. Funny story about Sean Deitch today coming out of some reports, I think it came from the echo where they got it from somewhere else, that reportedly Sean Deitch sent a kit man to the nearest sports direct, nearest to Finch Farms, it would have been speak retail, to get some socks because Everton didn't have enough long socks to wear over shin pads for training. Obviously Sean Deitch has come in and he's set a new rule, he wear long pants or shin pads in training, that's good, it's standards, it's little things, little details like that I can go and miss, putting these little details in, it just makes a better, you demand more respect then, he's really serious in these little details, making sure these little things get sorted and looked after, then ultimately that might lead to a better culture or a better structure because you've really got to handle their set of standards and if you don't wear them you get punished, rather than just a mate's culture, you don't have to wear your shinies, whatever. I remember Sir Alex Ferguson used to make his plays with suits and stuff and it's like it's not a big ask, but it's those little things where you're asking for respect, it's just set a standard and the thing. I could sit here and moan about Everton not having enough socks and say it's a disgrace, I'm not going to, I thought it'd be a little funny story to sell because I found it interesting to myself so I thought I'd share it on the news, but there you go. Everton getting down to the nearest sports area to get some socks, apparently they didn't have enough white socks or blue socks as well so they just got some black ones, I imagine they just picked up some cheap, sandy, cool ones, I've used them before from sports area because they're like three quid, major blister issues so hopefully they get some proper socks from Hummel ordered into the training ground because them sports are ex-socks to give you a bit of bad blisters, but there you go. Interesting story. Finally Dominic Averloon has been checked like I mentioned yesterday in terms of his fitness ahead off the other side. David, there was some worries about his thighs, I think he had some tightness in his thighs or his hamstring was going into the Arsenal game, but it seems after these checks, corners of the report that he's been given the old clear, the arch probably going to have to look after him, he might have to do some different thing in the training, maybe sit out some drills, maybe do some separate drills, one to one and stuff, I don't know, but they have to keep him fit, they have to look after him because we didn't sign a better replacement or a better vacuum in January so keeping him fit. It was really important, he played an hour on Saturday and he played a good hour, he put a shift in, he should have scored for me but he got unlucky but he put himself about, he was physically dominating so he'll be really important against Liverpool. Against Liverpool, certainly the way we want to play, I don't think Neil Mopay suits that role, especially playing up front on his own. Alice Sims, there's no evidence that he can do what he's doing in the championship and what he's doing in Scotland in the Premier League. Don't want to call it but it was really important that we keep him fit, but yeah, like I said, not a crazy exciting news, the Arsenal Everton fixture, I'm sure a lot of you have been waiting for that for a while, those who had tickets wanted to make sure that they can actually go to that, so I'll be going to that one as long as they'd like to give me the day off. So I'm just happy that that's been sorted and a bit of a funny story there about Sean Dyson and the kit man, but there you go, so if you want more videos included in live daily exclusive videos, join us on Tofa TV Premier, make sure you like this video, I'm School of Trials on YouTube, thanks for watching and see you later.
