This is the way to do it. This is the way to do it. This is the way to do it. When you think about the future, who do you picture yourself being? From all the people we have interviewed in this program, we have learned one thing, that you can be anything you want to be, so long as you remove your mind from the box and start thinking outside the box. Today we have Lois Kanyiri aka Mastermind, a mathematics graduate turned film producer to shed more light on that. So Lois, I am interested to know how did your nickname Mastermind come to be? Hi, I would like to say thank you, thank you so much for having me here. Mastermind, I like telling that story because it's a beautiful story. According to me, that is. I was given that name in high school by my teachers when they were just about to expel me. So I was being expelled because well, due to one reason or another we had a strike in school and my name had gone down as a man of the people who had planned. Apparently it went down as the main plan of the strike, so they gave me the name Mastermind. Was that true? Ah, well, subject to discussion from that day. So I took it later, I started using it as a stage name, later on I developed it as a brand. So Mastermind is my brand. Ah, that's nice. So took it after Mastermind, you went to Nepal. Yes. So this math and film, tell us about it. What happened? So it goes back to 2019 when I finished campus. I finished campus in 2019, but I did not graduate, which is also something I would really like to speak on. If you don't graduate, it's not the end of life.  So what happened? Once it came, I decided that what I need to do is I need to find the mastermind, okay? So it was in that, you know, that soul searching, that period of searching and deciding what am I going to do? Where am I going to put my foot down? You know, because I also know even if I graduate, this paper is just a paper. It will not give me a job immediately again. So I needed to find a place to put my foot and that was when I met my friend and my boss.  I am the director. So his name is Raphael. So he's the one who inspired me and together we created this whole thing that we call Casa Rafael. So Casa Rafael, tell us a bit. What inspired your creativity? My creativity is basically inspired by observation. I like observing everywhere I go and the kind of a person who would like sitting down in a corner and just looking at people. You know, looking at people doing their things. It's fun for me. I also like being behind the scenes, being the person who makes things happen. So when I see, I observe, I write. I like working around with a notebook. So I write. I scribble down what I'm seeing, you know, that kind of stuff. So whenever I get inspired, I feel something really, really beautiful. I make sure that I note it down so that I can use it at another date. So have you graduated now? Ah, yes. I am. I am happy to say that in on 25th of February, 2022, I managed to secure my degree. Congratulations. And I'd love to ask a question between the math. Math is about realistic things and film is imagination, creativity and all that. How do you merge all that? Who said math cannot be creative? I mean, the moment somebody starts down to think of a formula or to think of something, that is imagination. And you need to understand that in math we work with imaginary numbers. So since we have them, it's all about how the mind works. They are all in one person. I am a mathematician at heart. My mind is analytical enough to understand mathematics, but I am a creative. By deep down, I have always been an artist. So art is everything.  So mastermind, what kind of stories do you tell? Normal day-to-day contemporary stories. Mostly I like telling stories in the urban setting, but I want my stories to be relatable. For example, my three films so far, two of them are things that you can actually, they are things that happen, are happening in our homes, in our families, to our friends, the things that are there. And even all the people who have watched, they keep telling me, hey, this is so relatable. For example, I can tell you a story of when we were producing Unfaithful. One of the guys I called to help me in editing. So Unfaithful is your production? Yes. Unfaithful is my most recent movie. The moment we finished shooting, I called a guy to come and help me in editing. And the first thing he did when he saw the film, he was like, you know what, this thing happened to me last week. Interesting. And then a few other people here and there. It has happened, it has happened. So it's a normal, just the normal way of life. Yes. That's interesting. And how do you identify your talent? I'm sure you do not work alone. So how do you identify your talent? It's, I don't know, you have to have an eye. See the same way people talk about pitch in music. But if they are not, not everyone has perfect pitch. So sometimes you just look at somebody do something and you're like, I want to cast that muscle. Two, we do auditions. So once you invite people for auditions, it is, the question is, are you as a person, do you think you're talented as an artist? Do you think you're talented as an actor or an actress? If you are, then you need to put yourself out there. You can't sit in the house and expect people to call you. Okay. Number three, I also call people I've worked with. For example, I have, I always used to do stage. But now after doing stage, stage, stage, reach a point, I was like, stage is not doing it for me because stage people forget. I mean, once the play is done on stage, it is done. We won't see it again. You will tell people, yes, I'm an actor, I've done this, I've done that, I've done that. But there's no point of reference. Okay. But for me, I feel, film, you record it, it is there and it is in an indelible mark on the world for eternity. So that is basically what led me to do that. So when it comes to getting, getting talent, it's easy. Talk to people, the people you know, I'm talented myself. So it is easy to identify other talents.  Can you come act for me?  Can you come act for me? Hey, there's a project I'm doing. I have a role that I feel suits you. It's all about learning how to be a casting director. Interesting.  I come to you to talk. I have been told I have a sweet tongue and I think I do. So I just start talking to people. Mostly the biggest problem is you can never really pay talent. That is one thing I believe. You can never pay talent because talent is something inborn, but you can appreciate it. So the issue always comes down to how much am I willing to appreciate you and are you willing to accept the deal that I would offer for you on the table? But for me, with my talent is once we talk, we get to talk.  This is what I have. This is what I have. I need you from this period to this period. I'll provide you one, two, three. Are you on board? And for most people, because well, we have, we are well acquainted. It's easy to just come and work for me. Paying for that talent, as you said, is not really cheap, you know. So where did you get your starting capital? I have friends. I have family. I created my first short film. Eight minutes long, I was selling it at 100 killings. I just made the link private on YouTube, started selling. Believe it or not, I sold over 100 copies. Nice. So I had already made 10,000 from my first film. That is my starting capital because the second one I also sold at 100. The link was also at 100. I sold over 70 copies. So by the time I was beginning, I had a few coins in my pocket. Now, adding on to that is all serendipity because that is our company slogan, serendipity, because that's what we believe in. We have this dream. We don't know how to accomplish it. We don't have the whole blueprint, but we know we are going to do it. This is the goal. So get there.  And that day, 900 killings were sent because nine friends will just respond, hey, I've never supported you. Let me send you something. And then just like that. So what does one require to know in order to venture into film? Number one, understand the trade. Understand what you're doing. Number two, understand the law. The law. For example, in Kenya, you need to understand the law that governs the whole thing about filmmaking. Understand that for a production to happen, this is the part of pre-production. This is how it works. This is production. This is how it works. This is how it works. You may not know it. For example, for me, I started completely in the dark, but I went on the internet, did a few research, did a little bit of research. This is our pre-production, this is our production, this post-production, everything. Then I was like, you know what, I'm ready to dive into the deep waters. So once I understood pre-production, I know what do I need? I need a script. What do I need? I need locations. What do I need? I need fast. What do I need? I need equipment. Once I have those and I have the necessary hands, for example, somebody to hold lights, somebody to hold a boom, you know, the camera, the DOP, I have the director. Once I have all that, what else is required? Welfare, food, feed people when they're on set, you know. If it's location, are you paying for these locations? For example, houses, I go to friends and I'm like, you know, guys, can I use your house for two days? So two days I'm there, moving everything up and down. If it is my own house, my parents' house, I use it the way I want it. The way I want to, you know, move things around. You just need to understand, and then you also need to understand what exactly are you visualizing. It's very important because you cannot just start without an end. I always tell people, I cannot be anything that doesn't have an end goal. There has to be. That is the goal. That is where we are finishing. It's not just doing for the sake of doing. No, no, no, no. The end is there. This is how we are going to get there. But law and what you're doing. Once you have that, then you also know how to work with people. Because there is, if you see the closing credits of a film, how many names? A lot of names. So you can imagine those are hundreds of people who are involved in a single production. So for me to manage to produce that, I need to have known how to work with a hundred people and they're working with people. I have a question. Have you ever been on the other side of the law doing films? I have not, but I have stories. For example, I have my friend Raphael. He was telling me about a time when you were shooting and they had guns they had made. They had made some very nice guns and now they are on set with guns. Oh my goodness. Police were called. I mean, these guys want to rob us. You know, they make shift guns, but nobody cares whether they make shift guns.  You know, you need to have that film license. If I want to use a certain road, if I want to go and close a certain road, I need that shot. I need to go, talk to the council, the city council or the county council, you know, get a letter from Kenya Film Classification Board, get a letter from Kenya Film Commission, all that. You need to have the necessary documentation. Otherwise, you will get on set with the equipment and you will end up in jail. Yeah. And so how do your friends and family feel about the departure from mass and took to film? I have to be honest. I did mathematics. I love math. I have, it took me a while, took me five years to go to high school. So I began to ask all, it was all about grades. I needed a good grade. So I repeated at a point, getting that good grade. Now I have the good grade. Then I go to uni and just do anything. No, no, no, no. I have to make them get shocked. You have to, once you ask me, I have to also because I love it. So I did mathematics majorly just because I wanted to feel superior. So what happened is you see, I've gone to uni, I've changed my course. I was invited to do something totally different. I'm done now doing math. I'm done with math. I'm not even graduated. I have a talent. I need to make money. I need to put my foot somewhere, get into film. My friends and family received it with pump and laugh. They received it so well at my premiere, at the premiere of Unfaithful, three-quarter of the attendees or my friends and and even those who did not attend, you know, people will send, people will buy tickets. Let me buy a ticket. I know I won't be, I won't make it to the day, but I will buy a ticket. That is the kind of support that I have received. So my friends and family, everyone loves it. So where are you sharing your films? Because we have to make money from this. You know, talent has to pay by the end of the day. Passion does not pay the bills. Talent has to pay. So I found a very interesting local site. It's basically Kenyan Netflix. It's called shahara, shahara.com. Just go to shaharavideos.com. The movie Unfaithful is there. It's going for 300 chillings. Oh, so we have such platforms for us in the local industry. Yes, as a matter of fact, they are there.  You can even sell as cheap as 50 shillings. There are things that are going for 20 shillings there, you know, podcasts, any kind of content. For those specific picky, picky projects, it's a bit that you feel this is not something I want to give out for free. Post it there. Tell your friends to pay 50 shillings. Come on. If you support me, why would you be unable to pay 100 shillings? You know, it's support. By the end of the day, it is you making me feel that what I'm doing is worth a coin. And it is worth a coin. I mean, it's the mind. So how much do you pay in these platforms to access the funds? They are free. Oh. You put it out there for free. Of course, you will pay from what is bought. Yes. They don't ask you for money beforehand. No, no, no, no. It is post-sell. And we'll also help you sell. Once we do that, for shahara, we have an agreement of that is 70. So we take 70%, 80, 30%. Which is good enough for me. Do I need my own account or something? You create an account there. You just create it and then you pay by the end of the year. It's very convenient. So easy, so cheap, so accessible. So there are several other local content there. Very good movies there. So you can also go check them out. And what setbacks have you experienced in your journey and how did you overcome them? Dealing with human beings. I have to say dealing with human beings is a lot of work. For example, you can get on set and a cast refuses to show up. We've paid for the location. We are here. We only have six hours to shoot. And the cast has refused to show up. What do you do? The show must go on. You continue, you introduce a new character, you change the script, do whatever you can, but the show must go on. So those kind of setbacks, those kind of, that kind of not knowing exactly, sometimes you wake up and you had promised people breakfast. For example, I did unfaithful just when the prices of cooking oil was just starting to rise. It was just starting, earlier this year. In January, February, we were not sure how far it would go. So it was just going up a few days, 10 shillings, 20 shillings. So at a time, I would only buy cooking oil or the 100 shillings. And I know that it's just one, two meals, it's done. So I need to have another more cooking oil tomorrow. If it is something like milk, those kind of stuff, feeding people is not easy. But for me, I would say that there is nothing like a setback for me. There is no challenges out there, but the point is overcoming. So for me, I'm going through this challenge, I will overcome it and we overcome it. Forget that we were even going through that problem. Let's dive into your experiences. What are your memorable experiences in your journey and maybe the worst? The most memorable experience has always been eat a wrap. It's a wrap. It's a wrap for me. Drives me nuts. The moment I hear the director call it a wrap, it means that, yo, we are done. All this pressure that we were going through, all this stress that we were going through, it is gone. It is over. That is the happiest moment. I even make sure that I take a photo. At that moment, I always tell the DOP, take this one last photo. All the people on set, we've wrapped up and we jump and scream. It was the worst experience was doing three scenes in a day. I'm on set. We are on set. We are on location. Everything is going well, but for some reason or another, we never got the work done. We had planned to do six scenes. No, eight scenes. I remember my call sheet talked about eight scenes and I only managed to do three. To date, it is one of the things that I wake up and remember I did three scenes and I'm like, what? It's gone with me. That means we are retrogressive, but eventually we got the work done anytime. Personally, I am in love with your work, your spirit, your energy, and if I wanted to get in touch with your work or join your team, where can I find you? You can find me on social as Casa Rafael or you can just Google. Just Google Casa Rafael. Casa is the house of Rafael. C-A-S-A-R-A-F-A-E-L. So Casa Rafael, that is also on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, we are there. That is now once you go there, the moment you send a message, I'm the person who receives the message. Wow. I'll go do that immediately after production. So let us know, what are your future plans? What are my future plans? So this is it. Casa Rafael is the house of Rafael. A house has many rooms. We have a bedroom, we have a kitchen, we have a sitting room, we have a library. We have all kinds of places. So basically Casa Rafael is a house with many branches. So we have the branch that is already working, the film branch. So we make films, we create stories and we tell them through motion pictures. Two, we have a fashion design branch that is slowly coming up. So it's a future project. We want in a situation where even our own wardrobe for our films, we provide our own wardrobe. So if it is creating costumes, all that kind of stuff, that is something we want to do for ourselves, for our people. Two, we have photography and events management. So basically we have cameras, so we will shoot, we will come to your event, we will cover it, and even show it to the world. Then also planning the event, the whole thing of seeing, bringing light, bringing sound, all that. That is also part of it. Interior design and interior decor. Also that it's basically all art. All art, all art, all art. And what is your call to the community, especially young people who have talent and they have potential, but they do not know how to channel it? You need to believe in yourself. People say do not believe you on hype, but you need to hype yourself. You have to wake up and be like, you know what guys, this is what I do and you need to see me doing what I do. Okay? You once you believe in yourself, even the universe sees a star and the universe will always help you to be what you want. So it will make you the star that you want to become. Okay? So believe in yourself too. Don't be afraid of working with people. A lot of people out here are struggling simply because you want to do it all. Come on, relax. I am Lewis. Okay? What do I have? I have talent. What else do I have? I have a good mouth. I can make people do stuff. So what do I do? I don't have a camera, but I know a friend of mine with a camera. I'll go talk to that friend of mine or I know a friend who knows a friend. For example, that's how we got the equipment for shooting on faith. A friend of mine introduced me to their friend. We went to sit down over a meal. We talked, we talked, we talked. Eventually this guy gave me cameras. Things that are higher that so much money, I received them at a thousand shelling that day. Camera lights, boom, everything, all the equipment that I needed. Okay? So the point is it's not about you doing it alone. Okay? I have cameras. Then what else do I need? You know, you need somebody to go help you scout. Okay? You cannot do the marketing yourself. Market. Get somebody to help you do marketing. Branding. You know, graphic design and branding. All that. Those are the kind of things that you need to remember. You cannot work alone. So work with people. Get people to help you. Get people to work with you. Okay? Number three and very important, discipline. You don't just start something that you're not planning to finish. And that is actually the problem that is disturbing a little bit. You start and then once you encounter a challenge, you don't want to go on.   And you quit just when you're about to get to the gold mine. Just when you're about to hit the water table. You've been digging and digging and digging. You need water. You're digging and digging. Just when you're about the last blow to hit and then the water gashes out, you give up. What's wrong with you? Come on, young people, you need to understand. You grow alone. You grow slowly. You start from the bottom. A friend of mine, I was complaining about how hard it was shooting and faithful. And a friend of mine told me this, Lewis, the only thing that starts from up going down is the grave. Everything else begins from down to up. So relax. Wow. The only thing that starts from up going down is the grave. Everything else in this life. It may start this way. You remember, what was it called? These plants changing directions where they can trace the sun. Yeah, they climb down.  So it is, it is all about, it starts from down going up. You, as a person, you started down going up. Every tree, every plant, even mountains started down. Get the right people. The right people. By the right people, I mean, you need to have a very good circle. Three discipline. Everything else. Money, people complain money.  You start, you start, you start. It is a progress, a day at a time. And is there anything else you feel in your heart you need to tell us? My whole point will go down to learning how to manage yourself financially. Our parents did not know it. They've been winning it all our lives. And since they did not know it, they did not know how to teach us. The system never taught us. The syllabus never taught us how to manage our finances. So now we get this, I call it netting. The government tries to net us, especially the young people, you know, we don't get into drugs, we don't get into depression and all that kind of stuff because we do not have an income. So the government provides us with certain and certain things. So for example, we have this cause internal problem that was begun in 2020 during the pandemic. It was begun to cushion young people against the economic problems and the economic challenges that were there. Now we are now, the recession that there was is slowly, okay, I wouldn't say it's slowly going up because for some reason it's going down, but the recession that there was because of the pandemic has disappeared. No, because we are no longer under lockdown, we are no longer being told to stay in the houses. Now people are able to move up and about, but the program is still there. Okay. Now I have a question. Were these people given financial training or financial management skills before they started adding these 200 shillings every few days? So it is important and I wish the government to consider this. Teach these people how to manage this little money because you can give somebody, you see, Kazim Tan is not something that you're meant to be employed in. It is something that you get in for those two weeks, then you move on to something else and you leave that space for someone else who is behind. But for you to move from this Kazim Tan, you need to use whatever you're getting here to propel you to the next level. So we need to teach ourselves how to be liberal. It is that 200 you get. You go to somewhere, collect, collect clothes at 50-50 shillings, go sell at 20 shillings, 30 shillings profit. Today, tomorrow, consistency.  So whatever little you have, start with that. Yes. Thank you so much mastermind. And I have loved your spirit. I have loved the energy. And I've loved what you've said. That's the only thing that Inanzajou in Atokachi is the Gravia. And I love that. And that is what I will share with you. The only thing that Inanzajou in Atokachi, you are the person in Atokachi. So why give up in the middle? If you get a setback, go around it. Find a way to go around it and start with the little thing that you have. Under nature, knowledge is power. And start immediately. This has been Youth in Action. I am Nyangua Sobrini.


That's crazy. See, the sad part is that most people in America agree with vaccine mandate. They're afraid of unvaccinated folks Now well majority people in America in the United States and Canada and the Western world have been indoctrinated through centralized Education if you want to call it that schooling no wonder In 2001 after 9-11 85 plus percent of the population in the United States and Canada Supported the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.   You know, I am saying that because I was arguing with them back then that those Morons that supported going to war were gonna be wrong, right? Oh, Chico, they were saying 21 years ago. Come on.  It comes out that no Chico and a handful of people I went the first protest peace rally I went to against the invasion of Afghanistan. They hadn't even gone in yet, right? Against the invasion of Afghanistan was in a pouring rain in front the art gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia There was about 30 of us, right? 75% were women There were the raging grannies there. Okay, that's when I grew My respect for the raging grannies went through the roof right Raging grannies were protesting Women were protesting and there was like five men me being one of them five or six men, right? Maybe it was 50. I don't know five six less than ten men rest everybody women right 50 of us were the first rally I went to peace protest I went to in a pouring rain in Vancouver Demonstrating against the invasion of Afghanistan Back then people said I was out of my mind.  How many years do you think it's going to take for people to go? To realize that maybe it wasn't a good idea to force people to take a shot from pharmaceutical companies That have throughout the decades been fined billions of dollars for peddling poison to humanity Right all of them Johnson and Johnson Pfizer all of them all of them all of them billions of dollars and fines for selling Drugs that they knew were tainted Because they needed to unload those drugs Right or they suppressed clinical trial data Right because they put a lot of money into it because they needed to increase shareholder value on wall street How long do you think it's going to take for us? that have stood against this kind of centralized power control Right to be proven right How many times does this have to happen? For the general population to wake the f up and go. Hey, maybe we shouldn't trust our governments Right how many of those people in europe right now? They're being flooded by migrants and refugees in the united states Actually blame their own governments for destroying those nations. What are people going to wake the f up? Right there has to be a stand right? You can't give in to fear and fear is what centralized power pedals


A uroflometry measures the urine volume voided over time and is useful in clinical conditions such as incontinence or voiding difficulty. You must come with a reasonably full bladder before the procedure. During the procedure, you will be given a hospital gown to change into and settled comfortably in a private area throughout the procedure. The doctor and the nurse give you instructions and leave the room after which you may void urine into a special commode that measures the amount and rate of urine flow. Some patients are unable to void normally in the artificial conditions of the laboratory. Hence the nurse may ask you about it and if you feel the void was atypical, the test will be repeated. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes and the report will be issued within 20 minutes post procedure.


Thank you Candice Thank you very much Thank you for the opportunity to present tonight We'll be talking about something quite important, right? So our role in to making the world a better place We all part of the same human family And I think it's one of the most important effort the most important things we can do Together and we'll show you something what we think it's is helping or could help reaching the goals that we set ourselves to be To prevent disaster in in in the future. So I mute myself. Hey, so I'm Alessandro and Marino is with me So we work for a company called those solo.io. We do love Istio service meshes, of course, and We are a company very dedicated to to advance open source to advance The adoption of service mesh and and why we do that. We also want to share How can we also look at the consumption the resources that we consume with our software while we are Solving the application networking problem that that is Do you want to introduce yourself Marino before we go? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, everyone. My name is Marino Wajay I am a principal developer advocate at solo and much like Alessandro said a lot of our focus is around the open source application networking space and well why a lot of this is important to me is because I come from a network engineering background and To see a lot of the sustainability efforts make its way into cloud environments data centers and even cloud Native is is very exciting. So, you know, I hope we get to cover some deep technical details We'll also talking about the sustainability side of what we do in cloud native Yeah, exactly. Thank you. Thank you. Actually the the angle of networking. It's maybe overlooked when we talk about Sustainability of software, but we I'm confident that we will also start talking about it We always talk about compute and and big batch computation when we talk about consumption of resources when it comes to software, but Networking plays a big role and we Marino as a Track easily on this we have networking foundation workshops. We will share later on So I hope we will see more about networking impact of networking in sustainability. So this talk and Allow me to to digress a little bit. It's important for me I think it's important for a lot of people. We are here and we are part of the same the same human family, I think and It's this talk is about the choices you can make today what you can do to impact the course of of What is going on in On the planet, so we all know that we are at a crucial point in history. So what we do this Decade is gonna matter for the next second to this. So and this is the moment we all have to come together and Nobody nobody is cool that nobody is left out Nobody everybody has a Something to do and to say about this and we are we are here to talk about some of those choices I saw this very dear to me this topic because I Found this interesting Graph, this is what this was from my MIT Paper from 1973 and it was about prediction of where are we going as a species, right? So where are we going in society? And what can we do to? To build a better future, right? So if you look at this graph, you see that in many Projections this is from 1973 and I know some people have some different opinion on this and it's been of course like also partially debunked But yeah, if population grows and consumption doesn't Doesn't seems to stop of course. There is a point in time where Things stop right so that that's if we keep going business as usual. This is the business as usual scenario where we just Increment the amount of resources we consume. We don't do anything about our the consumption of Oil and gas and the non renewable energy sources. That's where we're going We gonna reach a point where there is not much to know much oil not much more oil to burn no much Resources to consume and we'll rapidly decline Population will also decline and we're not gonna be it's gonna be a bad place for everybody to be in so so what can what is about? Are we really going there? Can we do something about it? Is there a way? To do to do something about it. So yes as a Colonial complete foundation. I'm an ambassador for the CNCF been around for a long time. I consider the foundation as a almost like a family to me That is efforts, right? So this is a Item awareness of these topics. So we do have now for about a year a technical advice the group about sustainability I encourage everybody to join. It's it's open group that specifically analyze and thinks about the the consumption models and how the The software we love all love and care the open source software under the clouded company foundation Thinks about or consider The resource consumption and so on. So it's an open group. I encourage everybody to join We do meetups. We do meet every week We will have special Meetings in Cuba concert we had in Chicago couple of weeks a few weeks ago So it's an open group and I and some of the things that we discuss we talk about of course is the the software Carbon intensity, right? So how much? How much carbon equivalent is produced per unit of computation? It is the crux of the of the problem, right? So this is the mantra what everybody's trying to to optimize. So how can you emit less? While keeping the same Amount of computation we all know software is sitting in the world or has been eating the word for for decades now World runs on software. So we are not advocating for reducing the the amount of computation needed because of course We we also need that that computing power to solve humanity's problems and and to Live more comfortably, but what we are saying is as a advocate for sustainability is that that amount of computation should Should produce less carbon less CO2 so we can reach the goals that we we set up So these are also interesting course from the green software foundation about this and I encourage you to look it up and come to the to the Tag environmental sustainability to discuss about it. So what is ambient and it's interesting. That's why it triggered me Talking about ambient mesh and environment because in Italian ambient Environment is spelled like ambient, right? So if there's any time here, so when we call protection ambientale like environmental protection in Italian is spell exactly like ambient So for me, it's those two words are quite equivalent. So why am I talking about ambient? so and you can tell that we love open source and specifically in our In our daily daily job, of course, we deal with a lot of Application networking so we aim to solve some of the most tourney Issues when you deal with microservices cloud native architectures Namely the networking the security that comes the complexity that comes with the running distributed microservices and One way and our way to solve it is to use a service mesh, right? So a service mesh is this architecture that Classically injects cycle proxies very close to the application So you can control the traffic coming in and out of your of your application pods This been around for a while. That's it's what we consider like the golden standard for for service mesh Many service mesh is in within CNCF and on the market. They do use this architecture, but it's not the only one there is We say that We listen to customers of course to end users of service mesh of is to in particular and then The community came together and said there is another way. There are better ways to do the same thing the same control to achieve the same degree of control and security and and and observability of your application Without wasting compute cycles in cycles. So short intro about is to it's been around for a while Sometimes almost the same time that as as kubernetes and CF has been around It wasn't part of CNCF for for a few years, but recently it's been donated and effectively now is one of the largest and most popular project within within within the CNCF is being donated has been also Promoted to graduated. So it's a graduated production ready service mesh and recently Not even a year ago. We introduced the ambient mode for for service for is to mesh what it is. So it's a new Architecture where we get away with the psychers. So we don't deploy psychers Per application per application pod and instead we use a psych out per node architecture. So what do you achieve with that? Simplified operation. We have less moving parts Better performance. We are in the process of establishing also Baseline performance for for ambient, but definitely and this the Why we are here talking about the ambient because these less moving parts you you literally running less containers less less compute You will eventually you will get less consumption and this will save you from Emitting and consuming energy and eventually emitting less less CO2. So it will Improve the software carbon intensity. It will reduce the software carbon intensity of your mesh enabled architecture So how does it work very broadly? Say that you have a classic side car proxy architecture and you want to migrate to ambient mesh that's simple as Removing all the proxies or not even deploying them if you start from from from scratch if you have a green field deployment But having a proxy per node. So you can tell from this simple picture that you go from I don't know two four six 18 proxies to one, right? So and this will reduce considerably your your carbon footprint You can say sure that proxy per node needs to be a bit bigger Needs to handle more More connection that's for sure but being a specialized proxy and part of the Move to ambient was also to split the layer 4 and layer 7 if you know the OSI layer I'm talking about the TCP connection Which is performed by the the proxy per node Versus the layer 7 which is the HTTP Connection handling which also means the all the sophisticated layer 7 policy and and Traffic routing the consulate so when you split these two and you put the proxy on the node to do the job of layer 4 Connection that will make it more simple Who is also also enable the history community to rewrite the proxy in rust which is not obviously very efficient Programming language so the proxies now Britain in rust while the layer 7 is still Still the The trustworthy Envoy proxy, so we also have of course our own Implementation of that is based on the open source and base what we are to where we are saying here is that we replace the proxies with What we call is that tunnel which is this node-based proxy and the proxy will form a Mesh as well a mesh between the nodes, so you get exactly the same features Without the burden of running many many many Proxy psycars and so after all after this is something we we're not gonna talk about we wanted to skip this but This is the waypoint proxy which is the layer 7 dedicated layer 7 proxy that will only handle The communication for the application that do need layer 7 Endling of connection, so if you don't need it There's no waypoint proxy and you will be happy with just the zetano And if you want to do a layer 7 you just have to deploy one proxy, but it's not one proxy pair Pod per application is one pod pair one waypoint proxy pair Per per application per per Workload identity not going to go into detail here, but it's for service account really and Also helps with adoption because you don't need to restart an application. You just deployed the zetano and An Istio and you on board the application as you see fit as you move with the adoption to the Into the mesh So and of course still can work with psycars as well So you don't need to just all of a sudden Change everything and then start using mmba. It's a it's a gradual progressive adoption of Of this of service mesh. So what is what does it mean for your wallet? Right. So that you go from a cycle model where you have an in very quite intense And quite invasive as well because you got this proxy really Injected into your application And they do consume memory and and CPU of course because they even if they sit there. They do have to Endle every connection in and out of your application to our Situation where you have ambient and even if you have the waypoint proxy deployed you still have quite a significant reduction in usage. So This is important for your wallet, but also for the planet, right? So you are reducing keeping the same the same functionalities. You are still be able to To perform very sophisticated, for example application tracing or or layer 7 Processing of your of your request while keeping the resources to a minimum and while keeping of course the the resource consumption to to a low Low low amount. So this is a projection, right? So this is not It's not science, of course, but if you imagine Without any proxy without any service mesh is the blue line and you grow your application You move on and you you're successful. Your application is being adopted left and right And you start to scale up to a thousand nodes and you have 50 no 50 pod per node you scale linearly, right? So you go up Up by the factor of 50 pod per node if you have psycars Every pod also brings in and not another container with the with the envoy proxy So it scales faster than the amount of nodes required by your application by the amount of pods required by your application While with the with the ambient there is an overhead. It's one proxy one pod Per node, but it's not the same overhead as you would have with the cycle. So even if you scale your application if you go where Everybody wants to be right? So we made such a great application that everybody wants to use them We need to scale, but we we are not victim of our own success and we can still handle handle the The resource consumption of your of our application. So so that that's that That's my idea. That's that's what we wanted to share to share about ambient mesh and Please Marino if you want to take it from here Yeah, so thank you so much for sharing a lot of that information Alessandro's but before we continue there were some questions that came up in the QA and I'll go ahead and answer them live But let me go ahead and ask the questions when a node restarts. How do you guarantee that the per node? Proxy comes after the application pods if that makes sense. So one of the considerations Considerations Karim about the proxy itself specifically Z tunnel We will we don't want to consider it as a node proxy per se it's more of a remote proxy because Applications or workloads that need to be able to communicate with other workloads in the mesh just need to have a Much very very much local Z tunnel available to them I mean it technically doesn't have to live on the same node But the preference would be the same node only because it cuts back on latency and unnecessary Hops, but here's the other consideration as well if your node restarts kubernetes knows about that So kubernetes will work to actually redeploy the application before that node comes online It'll deploy that application on another node provided that you haven't created any sort of tolerations or any sort of Policies that disallow workloads from running other on other nodes kubernetes would take effect beforehand anyways And then when the new node comes online if there needs to be some sort of rebalancing effect Then kubernetes could effectively take care of that as well The second question is can you please explain? Per what exactly namespace service account or a link would do the job. I'm not Entirely familiar with what the question is if I understand it correctly though is I think you're trying to know or Understand the association of Z tunnel and the service itself So Z tunnel can be Accommodating of multiple workloads that need to communicate with other workloads across the mesh So it could it could assume the identity of other nodes inside of the mesh as well provided that it's a Resource a source resource or a source workload That's sending data That's sending data that source Z tunnel will pick that up assume the workload based off of its service account and then form MTLS over to another Z tunnel at the destination side So that's what the linkage is next question in Z tunnel in ambient mesh and the gateway pod in multicluster kubernetes both build encrypted tunnels What one on layer four is still using MTLS the other one on layer three multicluster Do you think both communities could work together to? Have just one pod doing both depending on the use case Okay So this is an interesting one because you're addressing two different layers of a network You're addressing a layer where your your data plane needs to be constructed So your nodes in a multicluster environment are forming that data plane Specifically for your workloads like pods or applications or services to run So you have this this node network layer, which is what you're trying to provide connectivity for in a multicluster environment which can be achieved through the usage of tunneling mechanisms for example like IPsec or some SD-WAN technology or some extension technology or when technology for that matter and you could almost treat like all of these nodes together as If they're in a single supercluster The reality is they could be all independent of each other, but they have IP reachability Once that's established the layer on top the layer above that is the application layer where Applications need a fabric to make service calls to each other is where the service mesh comes in now The two layers actually do work together already It's just a matter of how you perceive what your network looks like whether it's exposed publicly Or if it's a private network that you manage at an enterprise level so there's a lot of different answers to Do do we think both communities could work together because they already are I mean if you think about it the cloud Environments already do this today and provide some software to find networking So to speak across multiple clusters of environments And then you would run a service mesh on top because your services need to find paths to each other And they need to communicate to each other and they also need to attest each other based off of their identity So I hope that answers that question And then Karim follows up with this is for the way point proxy How do you decide how many way point proxies you use exactly is it per app or per name space? It's actually per workload So you could establish a way point proxy based off of the workload that you're trying to provide some sort of layer 7 Intelligence or some sort of canary deployment towards You can think of it as deploying that layers of an envoy except in the sense of a way point Just to be able to do these advanced layer 7 functions even layers of an authorization If that's something that you're after as well Now how you decide that is based off of the needs of your workloads This could be many and I understand that this could actually become a bit of a scale issue and at that situation I mean ambient mesh at that point is a discussion where you have to have with a with an enterprise Environment or enterprise Offering or a commercial offering to help you address how to overcome some of the open source limitations and ambient mesh Because ambient mesh won't be able to scale the way you you hope it would and you would need something like what Maybe glue mesh would offer or glue platform would offer to be able to achieve that level of scale Okay, let's move on to Gateway API because actually it's another form of sustainability in my opinion And the reason why it's another form of sustainability is if we actually look back way back to when we do ingress and actually Alessandra if you can move to the next slide if we look back to the way we do ingress The way we did it before is we'd actually create a service of type load balancer or node port or maybe cluster IP And if we had multiple services, we'd have to consume multiple load balancer public IPs Which actually is is a is an exhaustion on an available resource IP addresses IPv4 addresses are very very limited And which is why we're trying to migrate and navigate towards IPv6 But that that conversation that bridge is a very long bridge I mean, it's not like we can cross it immediately and overnight. There's so much that goes on In the public space in the public internet in the private space in private networks and dual stacking You know is a possibility But there's also the level of comfort like getting folks to be comfortable with working with IPv6 is a whole another Conversational together anyways, so to overcome a lot of these circumstances We we have technologies like net or network address translation that helps with this But the reality is to make this much more sustainable We have to move away from having to Statically plug and pin things to other other artifacts, right? so we don't want to statically create a service and then Basically pin it to a particular load balancer or an IP we need this to be a little bit flexible So I'll send her if you can move over to the next slide If you think about how we overcame this well the ingress resource presented itself as a as a capability where we could overload a single load balancer with multiple ports and respond To different services on those different ports or different backends or paths, right? So it was a great way to handle something like this, but the reality is Ingress in itself added another layer of complexity Because the way we would consume a load balancer isn't always going to be the same across every single Provider, so you have to layer in annotations and annotations become very Sprawly so to speak so you have annotations and a lot of your different Ingress configurations to decide and dictate how that load balancer should accept and listen in for traffic So there are ways to overcome this obviously and the way Istio did it was through the Istio ingress gateway where you you know You had this gateway artifact and you would create virtual gateways to expose different services Into the mesh From the outside world and this is how it overcame the ingress challenge the ingress challenge of using annotations and the the nature of having to maintain those over time So now if we actually think about Sorry, Alessandro if we could move to the next slide We really think about sustainability the way around this is if we don't want to have to deal with annotations We can deal with gateway classes instead and conform to a common standard that all ingress providers would conform to So what does that mean? I mean that means that Kubernetes will present a common standard called the gateway API standard Which means that you could define the way you expose your apps or your HTTP routes and inject things like TLS and whatnot in a certain way That is consistent regardless of the ingress provider that you choose or that you use So for example if today I decide I want to use a basic ingress controller like engine X But it offers up the gateway API functionality and down the line I decide I want something a little bit more advanced Well that gateway class offers the swap ability to say today I will use engine X tomorrow I will use Istio or the Istio service mesh and specifically maybe even ambient mesh Now what what actually changes here is the way you would approach how you expose services So Alessandro if we can get to that next slide So it's the way and structure of how we think about this So we have a gateway class and that is tied to a particular role within an organization Who decides and dictates what infrastructure should look like meaning I'm going to pick and choose Kubernetes as my container orchestration and API system and then simultaneously I'm I'm going to pick something like Istio as my service mesh that's going to provide gateway functionality and Then you have some other personas that exist there to decide how These these artifacts can be consumed and then what is actually truly consumed for example the cluster operator will say Okay, I'm going to spin up a gateway that says and exposes Services listening in on this domain name while an app developer says okay This is the specific service and this is what I want to be listening in on based off of this HTTP route So let's actually look at this in an expressive format and see what this looks like next slide, please So if you look at the traditional ingress resource We have You know a name some standard metadata We have a host which actually is our my dot analytics example calm domain We have a path that we're trying to get to any particular port number You have another path as well, and then another port number that Ensures that we get to that right destination But this is specific to one ingress controller Meaning if if that limit is limited in functionality, and I decide to swap I actually have to make some changes to make this possible So that actually moves over to this new format where we have two resources that are spun up the gateway resource Which effectively is is allowing us to decide who is the gateway provider? So it could be engine X or it could be Istio as the gateway provider and then additionally helping us decide how We're exposing these these services inside of our cluster Right, so for example this back-in-service food service is going to be exposed through this gateway Which we've created up here called gateway one right in the in the food name space And the interesting thing is it's going to listen in on port 80 Which is very much like what we're seeing here, and we're listening in on port 80 except I mean, this is not the exact same example But we are listening in through one gateway and we're we have a route an HTTP route to know where that that service exactly lifts food service to kubernetes service So next slide please now Gateway API itself is still in development. It went GA in early November So there's a lot of different capabilities that is still being worked on right now You can you can actually leverage the HTTP route functionality There are some experimental resources like the TCP route and UDP route as well as TLS and gRPC routes But these are still a work in progress. There's a lot of development that is underway. So what does this mean, right? I decide I want to deploy a gateway that is originating from Istio So I have to tell the gateway class is it's going to be Istio When I specify my gateway resource, it's going to pull that gateway class And then I'm also going to specify the HTTP route that exposes whatever service in kubernetes that I want to expose and That leverages this gateway or specifically the Istio gateway to be able to reach that resource So there's a question here Can the gateway also handle egress as well or can gateway can handle egress also? So actually gateway API, I'm not sure can it handle egress. I Don't believe it can specifically if you were just using gateway API as a resource. I don't think it handles egress It's more for ingress Specifically in Istio. However, if you deploy the egress gateway, you can you can do egress functionality. I Yeah, I agree with that. So this Using gateway API doesn't mean that you don't have all these to your resources that your disposal, right? So They keep working. They just end up by the Istio controller this control plane So, yes, there's no egress as far as I know Within the spec of gateway PI, but because you are using Controllers like Istio, then you have all the power of Istio that you can still use But you have to use Istio specific resources. That's it Exactly. So That that's exactly on point there's a lot of work that needs to be done on the gateway API front for for it to be able to handle egress as well and So that's answered and then another one from Korean This seems to be a replacement for Kubernetes ingress But how is this related to Istio gateway as it ties to virtual service? So actually this is interesting and I'm going to show you a demonstration about this So Istio does have this concept of a virtual service And it also has the functionality to support the HTTP route, which is essentially a virtual service Now interestingly enough Yes, while gateway API is a replacement for Kubernetes ingress or the ingress resource The Kubernetes ingress resource will still be available for some additional versions and eventually will become deprecated Ensuring that folks move over to the gateway API spec now Having said that, right The virtual service is a mechanism in Istio that allows us to expose a Kubernetes service So it allows us to overload a single gateway in multiple ways Or even expose services to other services inside of a mesh in a unique way The Istio gateway specifically, right, Karim the Istio gateway specifically Is part of the gateway class So it's a gateway that you would specify in the gateway class That that gateway class can be something else as well Like there are different kinds of gateway classes and In fact, I can even Hold this up. I'm going to do a quick Google search. I'll go look at the Different gateway classes inside of Kubernetes docs and hopefully we'll find something inside there But there are a few providers out there that support the gateway class at the moment Um Anyways, we'll we'll come back to that and we'll revisit that now having said that Let's actually go take a look at the demo because this actually allows us to dig into how we can use the gateway API as well as ambient mesh So alessandro, if you don't mind To stop sharing your screen for a second and I can go ahead and share my screen Perfect Let me know if you can see that alessandro and everyone else Perfect So I'm also going to link to a document. I hope that everyone can see the chats and If you cannot Let's find another way to share that document But the document actually calls out the different implementations Of gateway api either from a service mesh standpoint or other kind of node or gateway standpoint So you should be able to better understand who out there is providing these services. For example Istio is a provider. There are other providers out there and in fact if Alessandro if you want to be able to link to some of them, you know, feel free to I wish I was just answering a question. Yes Perfect. Perfect. Okay. So what do I have here? I have a simple kubernetes cluster. So boob CTL get nodes dash a Kind nothing special And I'm also going to just enumerate all the pods here dash a And we can notice that we've got a bunch of different pods So I'll briefly explain some of the more critical ones because the rest of them Don't really care too much about right now So we have istio d. I mean, we're all very familiar with istio d. It is the Control plane for istio the istio service mesh. So any sort of configuration we pass to it Is is actually understood by the kubernetes api Istio d will process those configurations and translate them into kubernetes resources for us So that you know a lot of the heavy lifting is automatically taken care of now We also have two new artifacts. In fact, let's get pods in the istio system namespace and just look at them a little bit more carefully Let me just a little bit bigger so that y'all can see Now We have one called the istio cni and we also have one called z-tunnel So as alessandro previously mentioned the z-tunnel is the quote-unquote node level slash remote proxy That is handling requests on behalf of any applications meaning I have a number of these applications And if they need to make a request outbound I mean, I only have one node right now But if they need to make a request outbound Then what would end up happening is it actually communicate through this z-tunnel And then the z-tunnel would form A tls or an mtls base tunnel towards another z-tunnel where the workloads get terminated actually Ideally we'd want to have multiple environments to demonstrate this functionality But that's our multiple nodes. I should say so that you could see some of the other Z-tunnels pop up, but that's okay Right. I think for for what we want to describe here We also want to get into a little bit of the gateway api, but if you notice something very interesting You look at the pods here in the test namespace actually if we do a kubectl Get pods And test And I will answer you in a second kareem Because I want everyone to to hear some of my thoughts around that If you notice here, I do have Istio running In fact, all of these if I do a kubectl get ns-dash Show labels I do have Istio running If you also look at the test namespace, I do not have a Configuration yet for putting these nodes in the mesh, right? They are putting these pods in the mesh and actually there's just one simple configuration that makes that possible It's a simple label And it's basically just telling ambient mesh or istio d that when it detects a namespace When it detects a namespace with the ambient mesh label Then It's a part of the mesh It's a part of the mesh Because what's interesting is if you think about If you think about ipsec for a second ipsec is a very You know kind of pseudo interesting technology But also in a lot of ways we still use it We use it because You know, we still need to connect nodes together, right? We still need to connect clusters together now if I if I proceeded to Want these workloads, right in the test namespace to be able to be part of the mesh and be mtls encrypted by ztunnel Then I need to label the namespace with istio.io forward slash data plane mode equals ambient The moment I do that and if I hit up arrow again, right? Notice that that test namespace has the ambient mesh label Which now also means That all of these workloads are part of the mesh Do they have sidecars? No, they don't have sidecars So now anytime they make any call To another service in another cluster or another environment or another node It should try it should basically traverse the mesh or traverse the z tunnels now What's interesting is within a mesh or within a node. I should specifically say these workloads won't specifically Have to traverse the ztunnel So all right, let's take a look at exposing some of these services Now if I Actually, that's not what I wanted to do There we go So let's take a look at this. I'm actually sharing the mechanism in which I would expose the web api resource and if you notice I would have used the istio ingress gateway to do that, but I'm actually using the gateway api spec And if you notice the api backend is a kubernetes api backend, it's not It's not an istio backend But if you also notice here, right? It's being deployed inside of the istio system namespace And the gateway class name is istio Which means I am telling kubernetes to use istios ingress gateway to listen in for requests Coming in to istio explain.io on port 8080 now A karee master earlier about a virtual service resource and it's association to the istio ingress gateway Well, I'm still using istios ingress gateway, except I'm using the gateway kubernetes resource or the gateway api resource and I'm using another kubernetes resource called the http route, which is Exactly almost verbatim the virtual service. I mean, there might be some slight variant very variances here around spacing and like the ordering of stuff, but quite honestly It looks almost the same, right? I have a host name that I'm listening on And I have rules to tell me how to match this. So right now I'm just going to any back in path but specifically If I'm listening in on this web api gateway that I specified up here and I need to I need to go to a particular service. I've already defined it here as a route, right? The service is web api on port 8080. So the moment I deploy this I should be able to respond to requests on port 8080 for istio.io So let's go ahead and deploy this. So I have this somewhere here That's been deployed and I also have my curl. So to our curl Actually before I do that Okay, and then if I do an echo of my Gateway api, I just want to make sure that there is Perfect And then we're going to quickly curl and this should work And it did so that's gateway api an action Actually, so what we just witnessed here is that if I did a kubectl get gateways, right? There's nothing there because I didn't specify the namespace if I did a dash and istio system right kubectl Get gateways dash and istio system. This is a kubernetes resource This is very similar to an istio gateway resource, but this is the exact same definition You're listening for requests on a specific host on a specific port And That's going to be associated with a route that route once it receives those requests is going to direct it and wire it Directly to the service that is in kubernetes So now the other thing we want to do is get the http route And there's nothing in the default namespace if I do tests dash and test. I think it should be there But I think that's where I deployed it to and there it is So there's my http route, which also in a lot of ways resembles the virtual service If I describe it right kubectl kubectl describe route web api api Yeah, dash and test There we go So that's the actual web api http route quote-unquote virtual service if you were in the istio world But very similar format, you know, we're we're using the gateway The web api gateway to listen for requests And we're directing them to the web api service So That's gateway api in action now. Why why is this sustainable?  Well, the gateway class can be swapped to glue at some point And that makes transitioning easier to a much more enterprise ready solution So there's a lot of ways you can think about a glue platform offers all of this by the way Blue gateway also offers the gateway api functionality Although is very much in lockstep with open source on boy at the moment I'm not istio. By the way, if you just don't want istio Well, there's blue gateway, which does focus on on boy specifically But there are ways for you to start thinking about how you can onboard the gateway api into your environment In a very sustainable manner without you having to rewrite and rebuild a whole bunch of stuff So having said that I'm going to pass it back to alessandro so that we can summarize and wrap up And open up for any sort of qa Thank you madina. Uh, yes, and there was this cni Cni question that I answered already Thank you for for that For the oh, yeah, actually, sorry I'd love to answer that too if you don't mind so the istio cni I wanted to go into a little bit more detail about that and I kind of overlooked it The istio cni is used in ambient mesh to help with redirecting The traffic and identifying the traffic that needs to be ambient or mesh bound specifically So for example, if I have service a trying to communicate with service be on another node and it's mesh bound Well, the z tunnel does the carry of the traffic carries the request and it forms the tunnel But we have to find a way to navigate that traffic towards that tunnel. So this is what the istio cni is doing It's navigating that traffic towards the tunnel so that it can be encapsulated and then sent over the quote unquote wire It is not a replacement for the cni that is required To run kubernetes and run pods inside of kubernetes and get ip addresses in an ipan fashion Yeah, yeah, in fact in fact cni's are You can multiple cni's they are in Chain together. So that's exactly what istio cni does is it gets in the chain and just for those pods they are part of the mesh Manipulates the ip tables if it's that's what you're using or ebf ebpf programs if this is what you're using so that would be Would be great. So let's conclude. I was a great great demo. Thank you um To go back to of course the choices that we all make You do have a choice. It's not i'm not saying that you have to go out out now and adopt service mesh in particular Ambient mesh right today But you know that everything every choice you make even not making a choice even don't Uh not caring or not postponing is a choice in itself. So it's um, so we want to say There is a better way to think about this in fact, there are other Projections that instead of uh, uh, I think um asymptotic expansion and consumption of resources Kind of levels out and we can learn how to Do more with less Do more don't stop progress and innovation but still Make sure that our kids have a future and And all the unborn future generation have Have a great place to be which is a clean Efficient planet where we can all live together in peace forever So how to contribute to to open source? And to specifically to the tag environment sustainability joined joined the meeting joined the meetings find us on um on slack and Bring your ideas. We that's all we need. You know, that's uh At least that's where we start from ideas and contribution and participation So there are other projects you should check out the carbon aware keta operator We'd love to see this also working together with with istio. Maybe we will will Uh, have some more webinars in the future But it's a way to understand the the carbon intensity for your for your covenants clusters and Be do something about it. Very interesting project We as a community we all love to go to kuba to kuba con and we have a new initiative for Well, reducing the impact of our travel kuba train dotio It's where you can find more information on part of that.

Welcome to the 2015 NCHA Great American Insurance Group Summer Spectacular. I'm with the winner of the limited non-pro derby, Mackenzie Merrill, who rode Corsac Cat and scored a 219. Congratulations Mackenzie. Thank you very much. How did it feel when you knew that the victory was yours? Amazing. It's been a while since I had a win in this pin so yeah I was pretty excited. Is this your biggest win today? In this pin I won the same limited non-pro derby but it's been a while. I think it was, we were trying to figure it out last night, 99 or 2,000 on a rooster gelding of my parents so yeah it's been, that's a while. That's a great effort so we're talking what, 16, 15, 16 years? Yeah and this is my last year in the limited so it meant a lot. Perfect way to top it off so tell us how, tell us what this win means to you. It means a lot. We bought, I call him Kendrick, we bought him from Russell Harrison at the Ferturity and my first show I think was the Cattlemen's and made the finals in both the limited and the non-pro, won the limited there and he just keeps getting better and better and it's just a horse that maybe had some things to work on at first and seeing him his progress just means a lot you know we and I really didn't know what I had until pretty much you know before this show he just keeps getting stronger and I love his intensity on a cow and and he's quite the character you know he has a really cool personality so and I just get along with him I feel very confident riding him I don't have to really worry about a lot he's just very easy to show so he's on fire take us through the run if you can remember it might be a little bit of a blow sometimes but if you can remember cow by cow and we had two cows that we liked and normally I said this last night I hate going first but in that herd I think it was to my advantage and we so we kind of those first two cows I I liked the best the first cow I know that it just it felt really great he was right on point and and so I felt really confident going and getting my second cow and my second cow kind of acted a little squirmy so but I stayed with it and I'm glad I did and I didn't really know when that other cow popped out and I had no idea what was going on I just as soon as I count turned away I quit and and then the third cow I just I just went for it try to finish up the run so not many people can say they've ever won in the will Rogers Coliseum you've won twice what does it mean how does it feel when you come out to compete in this arena is it daunting is it exciting I guess either way your adrenaline gets pumping right it's it is it's this pen I mean a win in this pen whether it's in any division is super special it's very difficult to get a win in this pen I mean there's some people have shown a long time and still have it and I just it there there isn't really a word to explain how truly special it is and it's I mean a broad tears my eyes last night so but you know my parents couldn't be here they're at a wedding and but just having all the camaraderie that you feel when you do well here it really it's humbling so well it sounds like you've got a great future with this horse congratulations again and good luck with it thank you so much


Why the narcissist will hate and envy you forever The narcissist targeted you because they liked something about you something about you caught their attention it Caught their eye and it drew them to you It caused them to want to be involved with you Because they were attracted to these good qualities that you possess They wanted to partake in that They wanted to participate and join in the activity It's like if you see a certain type of food It might look very delicious So you want to try it You want to see what it tastes like And you may find that not only does it look good But it also tastes good, but then you start to feel ill Maybe you get a bad stomach Maybe you have an allergy to this particular food So you naturally assume that you need to stop eating this food You understand that you shouldn't eat it again Because it's not good for you It's making you ill This is a normal healthy response If something doesn't sit right with you You leave it alone You don't keep going back to it But the narcissist will They come around you because they like your good qualities That's what attracted them to you But then their vibratory frequency Interacts with your frequency And these frequencies are not compatible They are not able to occur or exist together Without problems or conflict Because you're coming from a place of peace, love, joy and acceptance While the narcissist is operating on a very low frequency Of shame, fear and insecurity And naturally a person who is operating at that level Is only going to pull you down While your happiness and positivity Is just going to make them sick It's going to make them hateful and envious It's going to make them very angry Because they are allergic to your good qualities It's not meant for their consumption Because although they can ingest it They cannot metabolize it They cannot process the information in a healthy and effective manner Because it interacts with who they are It conflicts with their state of being So then they get sick And this is the crazy dysfunctional part of this Because instead of realizing that maybe it's just not meant for them They turn against it They begin to hate you When what they should do is realize it's just not meant for their consumption But instead of realizing this They blame the individual They try to make it out like there's something wrong with you Because witnessing these qualities is making them sick It's making them hateful and envious of you But they will continue to return To the very thing they profess is not good or not right If you go to a restaurant And you don't like the food or the service there Or maybe it's a TV show that you don't like You wouldn't keep going back Just a bitch and complain about it You would just leave it alone But the narcissist will keep coming back To the very thing they say they don't like To the very thing they say is bad Just so they can have an opportunity to hate Just so they can have an opportunity to complain about something They cannot be alone with their own thoughts Because they already know that they're no good If a person really values themselves They would want to spend as much time with themselves as possible Because they understand just how good they are for themselves But narcissists know that they are not good for themselves Which is why they have to surround themselves with other people Because then they have an opportunity To dump their emotional baggage onto you So even if you try to move on They will continue to monitor you They will stalk and harass you And watch everything you do Because they're envious and jealous They're trying to take something away from you And they feel like you're taking something away from them The narcissist initially likes your good qualities That's what attracted them to you But when they get involved with you Your vibratory frequency interacts with theirs And then they get sick They begin to hate it Yet they continue to return to the very thing they hate The very thing they profess is not good or not right When they really just need to leave that thing alone Leave it for those who it does resonate with Let them consume it Because if it vibes with you It's not going to do you any harm Which means that you can partake And it will fulfill you The reason why narcissists hate Is because they can't get the same fulfillment From the things that normal people get very easily But instead of realising this They get envious and jealous They take it out on you They turn against you When it's just not meant for their consumption It just makes them mad But rather than realising this And allowing you to partake and get the nourishment that you need Now they want to destroy it Now they want to take it away from you Because they cannot be a part of it They will stalk and harass you They will watch everything you do Yet everything they see and hear will affect them greatly It's not going to do them any good It will make them sick It will only cause them to become more hateful, angry and envious towards you Because it's not meant for their consumption But they will still continue to come back It's like an obsession They have these ideas and thoughts that continually preoccupy their minds It becomes an addiction Where they become dependent on you Where they can't leave you alone Even though they say that you're no good A healthy, functional person Will be able to digest your good qualities They will be able to metabolise it And they will be able to absorb the information They will be able to absorb the nutrients Without letting it affect their frequency And it won't cause them any discomfort Because they're on the same frequency It vibes with them But the narcissist feels great discomfort whenever they are around you It's like your mere existence is driving them insane It's like you're bringing out the worst in them And all they can do is complain about you Whenever they read certain information or hearsay and things They always find something to complain about There's always something that makes them mad And they will make you feel like you could never be good enough for them They will make you feel like something is not right about you Because you're not meant for their consumption Which is fine You are not meant for everyone And everyone is not meant for you But the narcissist will continue to come back They will stalk and harass you While knowing that it's going to make them sick It's going to make them hateful, angry and envious of you Which is a clear identification of their disorder Because a normal functional person is not going to do that They're not going to keep returning to something That they say is bad They're not going to keep returning to something That is not good for them or that they don't like Because they're going to listen to their body, mind and soul And it's going to give them clear signs that they are not meant to consume this person But narcissists will keep coming back to you They will keep returning Only to get mad at you Only to blame you for everything When you are not meant for their consumption They need to leave you alone They need to mind their own business And let those who are on your frequency partake And receive fulfillment People who have qualities that resonate with you Because it makes you feel good It makes you happy Because you're on the same frequency But it's no good for the narcissist Which is why they always get mad Because they're very hateful and envious of you They will continue to consume the very thing they hate Over and over again While it's making them sick As you begin to heal and practice self-love It will make the narcissist very sick They will become even more hateful and envious towards you They will try to take away your happiness and contentment Because they cannot partake and get the same fulfillment If you value your self-worth and self-esteem And you believe that boundaries are important Being around you is going to make the narcissist sick They cannot be around a person like that Because they need everything to be done their way They need to get what they want They need you to forget about yourself And focus on them They cannot deal with people who do attend to themselves They cannot deal with people who take their own feelings and needs into consideration Because then they cannot partake It just makes them envious of you They may even call you selfish for doing that Because they want all of your attention to be on them They want you to cater to their needs So if you are a strong, confident person Who values and respects yourself You will naturally experience conflict with the narcissist Because they need you to be a pushover They need you to be their doormat And if you're not They cannot partake and get the same fulfillment They cannot metabolize it Yet they will still continue to come back Even though it's making them sick They don't want you to operate on that frequency anymore Because they can't partake They can't be a part of it So now they want to separate you From the very thing that fulfills you in life Because they can't get anything out of it It doesn't do anything for them And they look at it like If it doesn't do anything for them Then it shouldn't do anything for you They don't care about what is good for you They don't want you to progress or succeed If they think something might be good for you They will keep it away from you Because your happiness and fulfillment is a threat to the narcissist It hurts them They can't give you the proper nourishment that you need But then they also don't want you to feel yourself Because that only reminds them of their deficiencies They look at it like They're not happy So why should you be? How could you be so arrogant, audacious and entitled To even think you deserve to be happy When they're miserable When they can't partake and get the same fulfillment It offends them Because it reminds them of Them of their deficiencies It reminds them of their unhappiness But just because they cannot metabolize it It doesn't mean that we should stop consuming it If it resonates with you Continue to partake and nourish yourself If it vibes with you It's not going to do you any harm Just like an athlete requires a specialist diet Or a high-end car requires the proper fuel This will replenish you It will allow you to progress and succeed in your lives If you can find nourishment in it And it resonates and vibes with you It's good for you It's not going to do you any harm But narcissists No They cannot do any of that It makes them sick It makes them hateful, angry and envious Which is why they just need to stay away from it And let those who it does vibe and resonate with Consume it And partake in the nutrients and nourishment That it has to offer to them Thank you for watching I hope this video resonates with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My paper link is in the video description CoachingInquiries You can email me at coaching.narsviver.co.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon
