Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this resolution presented by the Honourable Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance to borrow some US $3.7 million, $704,000, or EC $10 million from the Caribbean Development Bank 10-cycle loan facility to support our micro, small and medium enterprises post COVID recovery at an interest rate of 0.75% per annum on the amount of the principal, this boost and outstanding. Mr. Speaker, I am lending my support to this borrowing for several reasons. Firstly, Mr. Speaker, we all know that COVID directs a debilitating blow to businesses worldwide, especially micro and small businesses. In St. Lucia, many of our small businesses had to close their doors. They could not meet operating costs. They could not pay their staff. They could not pay the rent. They could not purchase stock. They could not pay the electricity bill. They could not pay the water bill. In fact, Mr. Speaker, businesses were on their knees. They did not know what to turn. And most of them, when you had a conversation with the owners and they were abusing all their savings. Mr. Speaker, for those who survived, they had serious cash flow problems. And for them, the future looked bleak. Worldwide, governments responded in various ways to address the situation by providing subsidies, stimulus packages, tax breaks, amnesties, grants and loans at no or low interest rates. And the list goes on. So, Mr. Speaker, in response to this situation, our government, the government of the St. Lucia Labour Party, made a promise to the business community in our party manifesto on page 9, paragraph 12. And I read from that document, notwithstanding the government proposed targeted assistance to small and medium-sized enterprises, a business recovery strategy unit will be established within the Ministry of Commerce to assist by way of special concessions and technical support. Companies which have been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and approach. That is a commitment that was made by the St. Lucia Labour Party before getting into office. So, Mr. Speaker, today, at about, just after four, on the 22nd of November, after five, this promise is being fulfilled in this honourable house in St. Lucia. Mr. Speaker, for the first time, small businesses in St. Lucia are receiving focused, focused attention. Yes, read out your position. For the first time, small businesses in St. Lucia are receiving focused attention from the government, a government that made a promise to put the people first. Mr. Speaker, this facility will be allocated for financial and technical support to our MSMEs island-wide. The loan grant facility will be disbursed at a ratio of 70% grant and 30% concessionary loans to entrepreneurs with a viable business idea, whether seeking to start a new business or to expand a current operation. Mr. Speaker, the initiative also intends to provide targeted training and technical support to participants in areas such as financial management, marketing and development of the e-commerce capacity. This intervention, Mr. Speaker, and several other interventions being undertaken by the Ministry of Commerce, some of them I outlined earlier today, are all focused on preparing small business owners and entrepreneurs to better understand business operations, improve financial literacy, as well as embracing digitisation and e-commerce. Mr. Speaker, apart from the business forum, the Small Business Development Centre has been hosting what we call virtual lean-converse business plan models and design thinking workshops for the better part of this year. To date, we have 62 individuals island-wide who have attended and received certification from the lean-converse workshop and are now equipped to prepare their business plans. Currently, a two-day business plan workshop is slated for November 24th and 25th, that is Thursday and Friday, what we learn in Sufra. That training is sponsored by the Embassy of Taiwan. In addition, there is a design thinking workshop currently underway, which commends yesterday and continues up to November 25th. This will soon be followed by another lean-converse workshop, a mark for November 29th to December 2nd. Basically, this is providing you with a snapshot of the portfolio of activities planned just within a 10-day period to enable our business owners to be adequately prepared for this facility. Mr. Speaker, just last week, we engaged personnel from the OAS while attending a workshop in Ecuador. We engaged them seeking additional funding for training in business plan preparation. We think we need to intensify this training in order for us to effectively and efficiently disbridge the funds to the business community. Mr. Speaker, on the medium-small micro digital enhancement program, my ministry is seeking to build e-commerce capacity and digital presence of our MSMEs. Component 1 of the program is now being implemented. Focuses on identifying and developing our local digital platforms, readying them to meet international standards as it relates to security and accessibility. Under Component 2, my ministry will facilitate the uptake of these platforms by our beneficiary MSMEs, enabling them to conduct business online, being able to transact digitally across both the domestic and export market. Mr. Speaker, the business world has changed. It is no longer business as usual. To remain competitive, our businesses must now move away from the mere brick and mortar and secure an online presence in the global sphere. Again, my ministry in collaboration with the Organization of American States has launched the Women's Economic Empowerment Initiative to help women in the OECS region embrace the digital economy. This initiative is a three-year project which encourages women to be more cognizant of the possibilities and benefits of a digital economy. Mr. Speaker, this morning I mentioned about the Business Banking and Regulatory Compliance Symposium and there we presented the concept of what we are doing to a captive 60 business owners and other stakeholders in preparing them to capitalise on this opportunity. And I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, all those who are present are ready to embrace this micro small-grant facility. Mr. Speaker, our MSME accounts for more than 50% of our GDP and 80% of jobs or roughly 39,000 jobs in our country. They have a significant impact on our island's economy and social fabric. Therefore, providing relief to these businesses is not only a nice thing to do, but rather it is the correct thing to do. It must be part of our core mission as well as our strategy to grow our economy and contribute to the social and economic development of our women, youth and youth, which forms a major part of this sub-sector. Mr. Speaker, the low-grant facility will be launched in the coming weeks subject to receiving the stamp of approval from this august body. So, I humbly exhort our members to provide that support to this resolution. So, Mr. Speaker, who will benefit from this facility? I can tell you, based on the decisions that we've made, the inclusion nationals between the ages of 31 and 60. Those younger will focus on the youth economy. Owners of incorporated or registered businesses, operating within the following priority sectors, agriculture, agro-processing, agrotourism, manufacturing, services including ICT, beauty and wellness, and professional services. Persons who can demonstrate their ability to fulfill their business ideas or propositions upon receipt of this low-grant facility. Mr. Speaker, the low component will be disbursed at a maximum compounded interest rate of 3 percent, with very little or no collateral required. This is specifically designed to make the facility accessible and affordable. Mr. Speaker, a special evaluation committee comprising representatives of the private and public sector will be established to review and approve applications which must be accompanied with a business plan. The funds will be disbursed by the Sanctucia Development Bank on the advice of that evaluation committee. Mr. Speaker, our yardstick within the Ministry of Commerce is for a 14-day period between application of the loans and disbursements. We believe that we must be agile and we must set the example for our businesses. So within the Ministry of Commerce, we continue to refine our processes and that is why we have been going out around the island trying to get with our business forum to get persons interested, to get persons who start registering and now we are training people to prepare their business plans. So as soon as this process of getting this resolution approved here and the loans disbursed by the Caribbean Development Bank, we want our businesses to be in a position to benefit. We do not want this. Our businesses have been waiting for a long time and now we want to deliver. So Mr. Speaker, when we have looked, the question one might have is what is the maximum amount of loan or grant that a business can receive? The analysis that we have done is for example, we have made provision for 110 pre-ventures and that is persons that would come with a new business idea and these persons would receive up to $10,000 in the first instance between grant funding and loan funding. So a person with a new idea, if a properly prepared business plan after evaluation by the committee would receive a maximum of $7,000 in grant funding and $3,000 in loan funding. We've made provision for 110 of these new ventures which is going to be $1.1 million out of the allocation. For startup enterprises, less than two years in operation, Mr. Speaker, based on our database, we've made provision for 220 of these and the maximum loan grant facility for these startups would be $20,000. So the maximum grant for startup enterprises with less than two years in operation, your maximum grant would be $14,000 and your maximum loan $6,000, a total of $20,000. So we've made provision for 220 of these businesses that would be a total of $4.4 million and establish enterprises over two years that is more than two years in operation, the maximum would be $25,000 in between loan and grant funding and we've made provision for 120 of those operations making a total of $3 million. So out of the $10 million, Mr. Speaker, we have made provision for $8.5 million going directly to the business community between loan and grant funding, Mr. Speaker. The balance of $1.5 will go into, I think about $500 is going to SLDB for the disbursement for the fees in disbursement and the other million dollars would be in technical support to ensure and hand holding to ensure that these businesses survive. That is the sustainability program that we have put together, Mr. Speaker. So Mr. Speaker, what are some of the conditions of the loan, what we can use those funds for and we've looked at it and we said equipment upgrade and modernization, food safety standards, certification and regulation, purchase of raw material, purchase of direct supply, supplies, acquisition of special purpose vehicles, a contribution to that and the grant funds can be used to collateralize larger load amounts within the same targeted areas, technical assistance, marketing services, product and service development, quality and environmental, environment systems, retrofitting facilities to attain a specific standard, international food, quality and environment standards, training programs, promotional materials such as brochures, catalogs, videos, catalogs, videos, implementation of IT solutions, example website, e-commerce and multimedia, packaging and design of packaging material and protection of intellectual property activities, brand registration and patents. The businesses will not be able to use the funding for the following, overhead expenses such as salaries and wages, sponsorship, personal use, traveling costs, individual scholarships or training that is things that are personal to the owner, acquisition of general motor vehicles, they cannot use those funds to pay interest on another loan, they cannot pay, they cannot use it to settle a rise of taxation, they cannot use it to pay other debts and they cannot use it to finance items that has been funded from another area. So, Mr. Speaker, further to the launching of this to what we are doing, we intend to launch the MSME policy almost at this point and the MSME policy, Mr. Speaker, is to assist MSMEs for sustainable growth and development and to enhance the operational and regulatory environment in which they operate. This document will be presented to the cabinet of ministers and then be implemented. Mr. Speaker, the Ministry of Commerce so far has some 7,000 registered MSME clients and each month we welcome some 100 new registrants in the family. May I add that out of this number, more than 50 percent of our clients are women, Mr. Speaker. So, I am extremely pleased that this intervention this afternoon is going to address in a very big way our women, Mr. Speaker, because you know when you have placed most, when you look at our business, especially our small and micro businesses, the majority are women and that is our, yes, the majority are women and as we know our own structure and story in St. Lucia that we have quite a few women as heads of households. So, what we are doing this afternoon is to transform lives and livelihoods, transform lives and livelihoods. So, Mr. Speaker, permit me to repeat a line from a distinguished African author who states and I quote, when you do the things in the present that you can see, you are shaping the future that you are yet to see. So, this afternoon I want to say to you that in addition to the members present here the staff at the Ministry of Commerce and especially the SBDC and Commerce and Industry have worked hard to ensure that this program is a reality. So, Mr. Speaker, today when we think of what we are doing, when we think of the actions that we are taking today that is going to impact tomorrow, this can be manifested if our micro and small business owners, our small entrepreneurs with five or less employees, graduating to become small and medium enterprises, moving steadily along the line from cottage industry to captains of industry and to move from vending booths to international markets. This is why members on both sides of this honorable house should give support to this grant room facility. Mr. Speaker, our actions today that is going to impact tomorrow is evidence and businesses become regional exporters after being awarded fiscal incentives by the government. This is why we must help them start now. This is why we must support this resolution. Our actions today that is going to impact tomorrow is highly evident when our government allocate half a million dollars on the operationalization of the national agricultural diagnostic facility to ensure conformity to standards in the agricultural and manufacturing sector in terms of our agro processing in order to guarantee food safety, food security, and increased competitiveness of compliance to solution products in the domestic and regional market. Mr. Speaker, by supporting this resolution and this grant loan facility, we are investing to improve the business ecosystem. Mr. Speaker, our actions today that is going to impact tomorrow is when our government continue to invest in exports and crucial to source new markets, our local goods and services, and increase the volume and value of our export. That is why members on both sides of this honorable house must make this technical and financial support available to our small businesses. Mr. Speaker, action today impacting tomorrow is when our governments come to this August chamber to seek approval for a loan of easy 10 million dollars to resuscitate our MSMEs which are the bad bones of our economy to give them the opportunity to survive and to go. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank in a big way our Honourable Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, a visionary leader for his intervention in expediting this loan application process and I applaud him for his unwavering support for the business community. Mr. Speaker, this government promised to put our people first. This resolution before us is evident that this promise also includes our micro and small businesses. Mr. Speaker, let me close by thanking the business community, especially the owners of our MSMEs for their patience, tenacity and perseverance. Today is a momentous occasion for our MSMEs. Your government has kept its promise and placed you first. So I look forward to political callers and personal persuasions being set aside as we unanimously approve this loan grant facility for our micro and small business sector. They really need it and deserve all our support. May God help us as we try to bring new energy in our small business sector. I thank you.


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky jointly with the commanders of the Ozoff Regiment, the 36th Separate Marine Brigade and the 12th Brigade of the National Guard have visited Lviv City, Ukrainian Telegram channels, reported. Meeting city residents in the central square, Zelensky said that all Ukrainian hostages would be returned home and also thanked everyone involved in their return to the country. The commander of the Ozoff Regiment, Denis Prokopenko, the deputy commander Svyatoslav Palomar, one of the officers of the Regiment Oleg Kamenko, the commander of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, Sergei Valensky, and the commander of the 12th Brigade of the National Guard, Denis Schlenko, also gave speeches. It should be noted that officers who were involved in the defense of the Izvostol plant in Mariupol and were taken hostage by Russians were kept in Turkey for several months. The officers said they would return to the front. I am sure that the army is a team of work and today we will not continue the battle, we will say our word in the battle. I remember the emotions, but I should say that I have always thought about how to


This dramatic strengthening of cancer defenses was after 14 days of a plant-based diet and exercise. They were out walking 30 to 60 minutes a day. Although Pritikin started out reversing chronic disease through diet alone, later to his credit, he added an exercise component as well. And it's great for his patients. But scientifically it makes it hard to tease out which is doing what. Maybe the only reason their blood started becoming so effective at suppressing cancer growth was because of the exercise. Maybe the diet component had nothing to do with it. So they put it to the test. They set up an experiment with three groups. The first group did nothing, control group. The second did diet and exercise, and the third group was just exercise. The diet and exercise group had been put on a plant-based diet for 14 years along with moderate exercise, just like walking every day. The second group was just exercise, but they were hardcore. Not just exercise, but 14 years of daily, strenuous, hour-long exercise like calisthenics. But they ate the standard American diet. In fact, they were actually overweight. They'd been killing themselves in the gym every day for 14 years, and still their BMI average is 26.5. Whereas those on the plant-strong diet were an ideal body weight. But let's see who's better at fighting cancer. The researchers wanted to know if you exercise hard enough, long enough, when you rival some strolling vegans. They took Petri dishes brimming full of human cancer cells and dripped blood from each of the three groups on different dishes to see whose blood was better at suppressing cancer growth. What do you think they found? Whose blood was better at killing cancer cells? This is a graph measuring cancer cell apoptosis, or programmed cell death.  It's one way our body gets rid of cancer cells. Basically, our immune system taps them on the shoulder and says, look, there's only one way this is going to end, don't you? You take the honorable way out. It'll be quicker, easier. If they start to chemo and everything, it's going to get messy.  Here's the blood of the control group. Not very persuasive, cancers like take your programmed cell death and shove it. And as we saw before, here is the effect of the blood of those in the Pritikin group. After 14 years on a plant-based diet, you can bet their bloodstream was clearing cancer cells left and right. But what about the hardcore exercise group in the middle? Did they clear cancer just as good as a Pritikin group? If that's the case, then it wasn't diet at all, right? The exercise was a critical component. Were they somewhere in the middle, showing the exercise helped, but not as good as a plant-based diet group? Or were they down there with the control group? Maybe the exercise helped with other things, but just not at killing cancer. What they found was this. Exercise helped, no question. But literally 5,000 hours in the gym was no match for a plant-based diet. Here's an actual photomicrograph of the cells in the control petri dish stained so they released light when they died. As you can see in the control group, there were a few cancer cells dying.  But here's the hardcore, strenuous exercise group, where cancer cells dying left and right. But nothing appears to kick cancer but more than a plant-based diet.


Let's discuss about genioplasty on how it's done and what are its various types. Chin is one of a prominent facial features and the society tends to describe one's personality characteristics based on the chin features. Genioplasty is a surgical procedure which is used to re-control or reposition the chin. Like any other ortho-nathic or osteotomy procedures, genioplasty has also undergone evolution in its technique over the time. It was Hoffer in 1942 who introduced horizontal osteotomy in the same crisis region through an extraoral incision. Later in 1957, froner and obvidesa performed horizontal osteotomy following deed-loving of the anterior mandible using an intraoral incision. As you can see in this figure, the osteotomized segment of the chin or the anterior mandible can be repositioned in all three planes of space, that is the vertical, anterior posterior and transverse planes. Let's now move on to the surgical procedure. The incision is usually performed under general anesthesia. Once the patient is positioned, local anesthetic solution is infiltrated into the lower labial vestibule. Incision is then placed on the lower labial mucosa approximately half way between the depth of the vestibule and the wet dry line of the lip. The incision extends to premolar region on both the sides. Once the mucosa incision is completed, the mentalis muscle is then divided and the incision is deepened till the periosteum. Periosteum is incised and a full thickness flap is raised to expose the inferior border of the mandible. So, first you perform an incision on the labial mucosa, then the mentalis muscle is divided and the incision deepened to cut the periosteum. After periosteum is incised, as the periosteum dissection is carried out to expose the inferior border of the mandible. After you have raised the flap, mental nerve is visualized on both the sides and is preserved throughout the procedure. Therefore, from the anterior mandible, you strip off all the soft tissues, that is the mucosa, the submucosal layer, the muscles and the periosteum. So, this is like removing gloves from your hands and hence this is called deed loving of the anterior mandible. The next step is the osteotomy which is performed using a reciprocating saw or an oscillating saw. Prior to performing the osteotomy, it is always preferable to inscribe the proposed line of osteotomy using a thin burr. This is the proposed line of osteotomy. The osteotomy cut is made at least 4.5 millimeters below the apices of the anterior teeth. Approximately here you have the anterior teeth roots at least 4.5 millimeters below the apices you make the osteotomy cut. And this osteotomy is at least 10 to 15 millimeters above the inferior border. The distance from the osteotomy cut to the inferior border should at least be 10 to 15 millimeters. Also the posterior ends of the osteotomy, the posterior ends means it is these two ends should be positioned below and behind the mental phyramid on both the sides. On either side the posterior end of the osteotomy should be below and behind the mental phyramid and make sure the cut is symmetric through the buccal and lingual cortices throughout. There shouldn't be any incomplete osteotomy. The cut should be symmetric and complete through both the cortices. Now the osteotomy is complete and next the segmented portion needs to be freed from the rest of the mandible. This is the segmented inferior portion which needs to be freed from the rest of the mandible. But here remember to keep the segment critical to the digastric and genio-hyoid muscles. How are the digastric and genio-hyoid muscles related to anterior mandible? The anterior belly of the digastric muscle originates from the digastric fossa at the inferior border of anterior mandible and genio-hyoid muscle originates from the inferior genio-tubical which is present on the medial aspect of the anterior mandible. Why should you keep the segment critical? If you make the segment a free graft that means if this segment doesn't have any periosteal or periosteal attachment it becomes a free graft and there will be intense inflammatory reaction and avascular necrosis. So for this reason make sure the inferior segment is critical. Now that the osteotomy is complete let's see how all can the osteotomized segment be repositioned. This is an example of augmentation genioplasty wherein the cut segment, the cut inferior segment is moved anteriorly and fixed using wires or semi-rigid plates. So in this case the chin is advanced. You may also perform a retro positioning of the chin, you can push the chin behind. An important factor to consider here is the good adaptation of the soft tissue following the chin repositioning. But in the reduction of chin the soft tissue adaptation following the posterior repositioning is not 100% age. For this reason a concavity may be carved into the anterior mandible that is you contour the anterior portion of the mandible so that the soft tissue of the chin can maintain their natural contour. Moving on for major advancement of the chin you can perform a stepwise augmentation that is the osteotomized inferior segment is again cut and sliced more than once. So there are there is more than one horizontal segment and both the segments can be moved forward. But this is now a less commonly used technique due to the advent of rigid internal fixation. However far the inferior segment is moved it can now be fixed. Therefore this technique is not commonly used these days. Genioplasty can also be performed to correct facial asymmetry. For example if the chin midline doesn't coincide with the facial midline you perform a modified osteotomy and the bone graft is removed for example from the left side. You then move the osteotomized segment towards the left and fit this bone graft back into the right side. This is an osteotomy plan for mild facial asymmetry pertaining to the chin. This is an example of an extended genioplasty which is used in case of major facial asymmetries. Here again you follow a degloving incision to expose the mental nerve and the body of the mandible. Genioplasty is extended to the antagonial angle that is anterior to the mandibular angle you extend the osteotomy. This is followed by laterally sliding the lower border of mandible thus correcting the facial asymmetry. You move the segmentalized inferior border towards the side of deficiency thus correcting the asymmetry. This procedure is advocated in patients undergoing correction of facial asymmetry due to hemifacial microsomia or unilateral ankylosis of temporal mandibular joint. We have now had a look at the various applications and techniques of genioplasty. Following osteotomy the occlusion is checked and confirmed using occlusion splint. The segmentalized inferior border may be stabilized and fixed using figure of 8 wiring or bone plate. Few of the complications associated with genioplasty are edema, sensory loss due to damage to mental nerve, wound hyacinths, avascular necrosis of segments and chintosis due to mishandling of mentalis muscle. That's all about genioplasty. Thank you.


British Deputy High Commissioner Ben Lowen-Jones has urged the media and other stakeholders to keep the pressure up and report issues of climate change and its adverse effects. Lowen-Jones said this at a media dialogue ahead of the International Day of Climate Action. A correspondent in Akademi has more in this report. The annual International Day Against Climate Change mapped on October 24 seeks to promote action against global warming and its effects. Ahead of the day, the British Deputy High Commission in collaboration with one foundation set up this dialogue to discuss some of the challenges affecting the globe. Nigeria represents less than 1% of the contributors of greenhouse gases. However, with the nation's economy overly dependent on oil production, it may be hard to reach the target of net zero emissions by 2060. The key thing though is that it is a transition. We must be moving towards renewable energy, which we are in the UK with a solid net zero commitment and indeed with real and tangible targets to produce renewable energy, not least wind energy, to make that real. But it's not just about energy, it's about energy efficiency. It's about making sure we only use the energy we do. It's about making sure we use it as efficiently as we do. According to a federal government statistics, in 2022 alone, over 500 people have died from the impact of flooding. 45,000 houses destroyed and 70,000 farmlands submerged affect livelihoods. The government says this is the worst since 2012. This is caused as the House of Representatives has resolved to investigate remittances to the ecological funds and withdrawals from the account between 2010 and 2022, alleged mismanagement of funds by the beneficiaries. So climate action was identified because it's clear that the issues around climate change are issues of life and death. If they are not dealt with, a lot of people are going to be pushed into extreme poverty because of issues around flooding, we have issues around drought, we have issues around desertification, whole communities are having to move just because of the issues around climate change and climate action.   We really, really, really need to get our heads around that reality of the terrible tragedies and pains that are happening to the common man, first of all. But it comes up, it hits them first, it hits us too afterwards. So we need to just, you know, get it right. You can't continue doing what we're doing against nature. She is obliged to fight back and that's exactly what is happening right now. Although the government has thus fees of full shortage due to effect of flow in states located along the courses of rivers Niger and Benway, experts insist there must be investment in urban renewal projects, including developing greener environments to address flooding, droughts, and erosion, just in Macedonia. Plus, even use Lagos.


Sometimes, cutting-edge research aircraft look a little on the strange side. Case in point, the pink X-15, and that's what we're talking about today on Vintage Space. The X-15 faced some major heating challenges. On its high altitude runs, it would be returning from near-space altitudes down to the dry lake beds at Edwards Air Force Base. On its speed runs, it would be pushing through all that atmosphere at exceptionally high speeds. It was designed to fly up to Mach 7. Both flight profiles meant that the airplane was going to get extremely hot. Able to retain its strength at temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, in Canal X went a long way in protecting the X-15 from high temperatures. But problems cropped up when the plane went hypersonic. That speeds in excess of Mach 5, or 5 times the speed of sound. The wing-leading edges distorted and the skin buckled. Covering troublesome areas helped, but if it was going to hit Mach 7, it would need a different level of heat protection. Enter the pink X-15. In 1966, the X-15A2 aircraft was covered nose-to-tail in an ablative coating. That is, a material designed to burn away and protect the aircraft from high temperatures associated with hypersonic flight. The pink material was actually only half the battle against high heat. It was a silicone elastomeric ablator that was sprayed on the X-15 in varying levels of thickness according to the heat loads of a specific part of the aircraft. And loading the material strategically kept the overall weight down. The leading edges were additionally protected by a related erosion-resistant material applied in preformed sections. This pink substance was then covered with a white sealant coat before flight. The idea was to have the sealant and the pink material burn away as the X-15 flew. By the time it was gone and the metal was showing, the X-15 would be traveling slow enough that the metal would be able to deal with the heat associated with the flight profile. Unfortunately, the pink ablative material and the white sealant weren't a very good long-term solution to the problem of aerodynamic heating. This is at a time, of course, when engineers were starting to think a little bit about going into space with these vehicles and refurbishing vehicles between flights. It took five weeks and 2,000 hours just to get the X-15 coated with all the ablative material. And it was just not something that could be done on a regular basis. But it did work. It was this coating that allowed the X-15 to reach its peak speed of Mach 6.7. Want to know more about how the Air Force and NASA got the X-15 up to that peak speed?

ServiceNow Knowledge 14 is sponsored by ServiceNow. Here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Jeff Frick. Good morning from San Francisco. This is Dave Vellante with Jeff Frick. We're here live at Moscone South at the ServiceNow Knowledge 14 conference. This is day two for us. Jeff and I were here yesterday, wall to wall coverage. We had an amazing day. Executives like Frank Slutman came on. We had Jeffrey Moran, authors like Martha Heller, talking a lot about CIOs, talking about transforming the IT organization from a cost-focused, cost-budget focus to really a value producer and how ServiceNow is the tip of the spear in terms of enabling that and catalyzing that. We also heard yesterday from customers. You know, one of the things, Jeff, that was most impressive to me is Frank Slutman in his keynote yesterday put forth the premise, called even a challenge, to IT organizations, that they need to really, the CIO really needs to be a business leader. You know, we talked to Frank about this. He said, yeah, I'm a little skeptical, Frank. Really, is the CIO really going to be a business leader? And then we had Atticus Tyson on from Intuit. Atticus Tyson came from the business side of the house. So he could talk margins. He could talk distribution channels. You know, he can talk small, medium business. He ran R&D. He can talk engineering. So that to me was the prototype of a CEO. We talked to guys from Red Hat. You know, the CIO of Symantec came on and very much transforming into a service-oriented model. You know, Wikibon, we talk a lot about the move, IT transformation and the move to a services-oriented environment, to a services catalog. And the big challenge that we're always told is it's difficult for IT people to speak the language of business, to translate geek into wallet. But that's really what's happening at this event. I think much more so even than last year. Last year, the focus was on problem management, change management. Even though the messaging was beyond that, when you talk to the customers, that's really where their heads were at. Very clearly with the introduction of app creator, this capability, which is essentially platform as a service, even though service now doesn't really use that term, like everybody else who's doing a land grab in that space. But it's essentially a capability to allow regular people really to build applications. And you're seeing the result of that here at Knowledge 14. The hashtag is no14. This is theCUBE. theCUBE is a live mobile studio, Silicon Angle Wikibons, flagship programming. We go out to events, we extract the signal from the noise and we cover wall-to-wall these types of events. Jeff, quick take. You saw Fred Lutty's keynote this morning. We've got Fred Lutty coming on just in about five minutes. What's your quick take on what you saw yesterday, what you heard today from Fred, and what you expect going forward? So I think the other kind of service oriented enterprise is the service that the IT departments are delivering to their customers inside their own company. And we had an interesting conversation with Sheila from Symantec about whether charge backs and really treating them like a customer and should they be able to sell the third parties. But the piece that was consistent is having internal developers spend time with internal customers on the actual use of the application and really spending time as they would as if it was a paying customer to do all the little things to make that better. Fred's keynote this morning was very funny, very spicy as they always are. I don't know, we do a lot of shows, Dave, and I don't know in terms of a frequency of applause per unit time of a keynote if anybody beats Fred. He's up there and he's got a ton of little improvements. He's got a lot of really how to help people get through their day better, faster, and then a couple of little jabs here and there along the way. I tweeted he got a near standing O for showing tabs. I mean that was amazing. So that's good. Fred showed some leg on Eureka, which is an unannounced product, but it's the worst kept secret in the service now community. Talked about share. So we're going to talk to Fred Lutty about all those things. Fred's a fantastic guest. If you haven't seen Fred, stay tuned. We'll be back in just about five minutes. The founder of service now, step down as CEO. He's not CEO, he's not chairman, he's chief product officer. It's just an awesome story. So we're going to unpack that with Fred. So keep it right there. Jeff Frick and I will be back. This is theCUBE, we're live from Knowledge 14. Hashtag no14. You can tweet us, I'm at Dave Vellante. He's at Jeff Frick. Check out our crowd chat. We've got a crowd chat going on crowdchat.net slash no14. Crowd chat awesome engagement app. So check that out. Tweet us questions. We'll be right back from Moscone. This is theCUBE.


From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny dollar Earl poor man. Hi Earl. How are things down in sunny, Florida? How soon can you come down here Johnny? You got troubles? Yes, over a $2,000 insurance claim. Oh now wait Earl How can you justify my fee an expense account on a claim as well as that? Johnny? Yeah The responsibilities of an insurance company sometimes involve far more than just collecting premiums and paying off on claims Well, sure keeping your clients happy a little good old public service Even a little attention to our national security. Sure put on such a small policy. I still don't see how you can justify National security. Yes, Johnny. I'll grab the first plate Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar and now act one of yours truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar The tri-state life and casualty insurance company Sarasota, Florida Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the wayward moth matter Expense account at a 1 9620 plane for an incidentals Hartford, Connecticut to Sarasota, Florida There I was met at the airport by my old friend and fishing pal Earl poor man. We drove on into town You like my new car Johnny when aren't you driving a new car? Well, now let's get down to electric windows power seat air conditioner. Yeah, sure Look, you said something about national security in connection with this insurance plan. Yes, Johnny I did well explain yourself. Well, that's the trouble. I can't You mean to say you had me fly all the way down now now wait Johnny or was it just some trick to Me into fishing, huh? Is that it a crack at some of the great Florida fishing you've been promising me all these years Well, who knows maybe while you're here We will be able to get in some fishing too to an addition to what sure Johnny I just had my boat repainted the engine over all we'll go out in the Gulf for Kings Look and in the bay in the bay you back at the house I promise your red fish and sea trout until you get tired reeling all right all right Just tell me why you've had me come all the way down here to investigate a lousy $2,000 client. I told you I don't really know all right National security is involved. Yes. Well Okay, Johnny I Issued a policy covering the chemical plant of dr. John C. Allworth. What kind of chemicals? Well, you see I don't know Huh? I issued the policy at the specific request of Todd swamp who's he chamber of commerce knows more about this whole area And it's people than anyone else. Well, surely you've seen this chemical lab No, I haven't you why does a matter of fact its exact location is a complete secret. Oh now now look girl If you if you've issued a policy if you're ready to pay off a claim But if you haven't seen look, how do you know a couple of thousand dollars worth of damage occurred? I've taken Todd swamps word for it. I trust him implicit This is the dog on this girl. How can I possibly investigate something if I can't even if nobody knows what? I give up. I'm sure that Todd'll tell you everything. I'll take you in introduce you to him Then I'll leave you with it leave me. That's the way he says it has to be Here take the keys to my car. You'll probably need him, but how would you get and If you need anything or if I can be of help, you know where to call me at the office or at the house out on St Armand's key, come on Serious alert perceptive he thanked her offer bringing me then led me alone into his private office Sit down Johnny and I'll get right to the point. Thanks. I know all about you at least all I need to know Not only from Earl poorman, but from a lot of the cases you've handled how long you went up on me I also know that on occasion you've handled security matters worked hand-in-glove with the FBI and so on so all right My job here is not only to promote Sarasota tell the world what a nice place it is to live nice people good homes Ideal climate great fishing yes fishing boating just about everything. Okay. Okay. I'm sold But what about this dr. John all work my job is also to be at whatever service I can to the people of the city all right Dr. Allworth has lived here for years Chemists retired until recently that is well go on now in his small laboratory carefully hidden in the swamps of the Everglades For security reasons dr. Allworth is producing an important rocket fuel ingredient all for use at one of the testing centers here in Florida Cape Canaveral He and his assistant work entirely alone for obvious reasons look Earl says there's been some damage at his place That's why I asked him to have you come down only a couple of thousand dollars worth that is beside the point Johnny. I Think it's a case of sabotage, but if nobody's even permitted to know where the place is And if you're ready, we'll go out there right away. Okay, right? Act 2 of yours truly Johnny dollar in a moment And now act 2 of yours truly Johnny dollar and the wayward moth matter Manager the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce suggests that we use two cars So I got behind the wheel of the one Earl poor minute left for me and followed We drove south on highway 41 through Fort Myers then swung left on route 82 into the Everglades And finally into the big Cypress swamp country A few miles further south I'm not permitted to say how many we left the main road for a pair of wagon tracks leading into the swampy jungle We stopped in a little clearing From a small shack on the edge of a bio a tall husky Indian emerge He lowered his high-powered rifle as he recognized Todd Swam and walked over to where we parked Then I see older. This is mr. Johnny dollar. Hi, Ben How do you do mr. Johnny then he used to be let through here anytime he wants Very well, Mr. Todd. Have you the airboat ready for us already back of my house good Come on Johnny The airboat parked on the edge of a bio back up in Osceola shack was an aluminum hull about 12 foot long square across the bounds that Appointed too high seats were built up on it and the back was a powerful motor with a propeller of the airplane type Todd Swam and I climbed on to the precarious little seats and we took off What a ride The airboat half plane half skipped over the shallow water the buyer Perched up over the hull itself. I kept waiting for us to flip After a quarter mile or so we came on a vast plane of soggy grassy marshland splotched here and there with patches of clear water Now and then on half submerged logs big turtles quickly drew in their heads we approached More than once a huge alligator gave us the BDI and then quietly sank over the surface of the shallow pool Thanks a lot Finally we pulled up to an acre and so a fresh and free Almost like an island in the middle of the swamp on it said a long low building made a concrete block This is the place Johnny unless you'd like to ride around a bit more no thanks Todd swam got the introductions over in a hurry dr. Allworth a short Wario man with sharp features and a shock of white hair led us into the laboratory building no mr. Dollar not in there and no one is permitted in the laboratory except myself and my assistant Oh, I'm sorry dr. You lead the way about your assistant dr. Allworth It was in the vault that the accident occurred it was an accident of course It was who would possibly want to plenty of people doctor and you know it May sound corny, but this whole country has enough enemy agents You speak as though we were at war time Well, we're certainly in a cold war and speaking of agents a moment, please gentlemen while I work the combination of this lock This ball looks big enough for a bank in it. I keep two things mr. Dollar the finished rocket fuel component now and the delicate apparatus with which I complete the final secret stage of its production Apparatus no one but myself has ever seen and you're letting us see you well the Accident has rendered it completely unrecognizable. I still haven't learned what happened here. You know matter of fact I haven't either Johnny. I certainly have my suspicions doctor No, no, no don't go in well I the substance on the floor is so corrosive that well look You can see how the legs of that heavy metal table have completely corroded left nothing but a pile of splintered metal and rust The rocket fuel did that now there in the corner at your left are the rotting tangled remains of the apparatus I mentioned The apparatus the insurance money will replace so I can make up for valuable time lost doctor I tell you it was no accident What happened mr. Dollar is that the heavy glass Flagon containing the finished rocket fuel additive glass doctor a very special class over in each stick the Flagon containing about five liters of it was on that marble slab there in the middle of the floor Ready to be crated and shipped to Ship to its destination. I see I had completed processing it night before last Early yesterday morning for some reason. I have not been able to determine The flag and exploded well, I'll bet I can find a reason. Where is that assistant of yours Leon? Yes, Leon Salkoff Salkoff yes, Johnny a man doing secret work for the rocket missile project hires an assistant with a name like now Salkoff hey doctor there was a famous well I should say infamous character by the name of Salkoff during the last war a young chemist Yes, mr. Dollar mixed up in a couple of industrial bomb plots And if this is the same man it is the same man well in good heaven exactly what I know No, no, no, no, you're both wrong This man was cleared in the war trials. What difference does that make I say a leopard can't change his spots But but don't you see that not even he knows the combination to this bolt Some other way to get in those little windows up there Eight inches square and two inches thick and you're sure there's nothing in your process that would cause the bottle to explode Oh, I have checked and rechecked it where was Leon Salkoff when it happened and where is he now? Well, he went to Fort Myers for suppliers early this morning. He should be back my guess is that he kept right ongoing Yeah, that's how I'm inclined to agree with you because doctor of what you've told us is true Well, somehow someone must have got to this stuff How high are those little windows above the ground outside? Oh about five feet then a gun perhaps aimed in through a window But they are all in place and unbroken Well any reason why one of them couldn't be removed from the outside then replaced well, I I don't know I'm gonna see I'll be right back Act three of yours truly Johnny dollar in a moment And now act three of yours truly Johnny dollar and the wayward moth matters Now wait one move and I will pull this trigger. Oh, are you I will ask the questions What are you doing here? Where is Dr. Elworth? Answer me also help me?  There's a man out here with a gun. What's that? No, no don't come out here Johnny dollar insurance investigator to arrange the payment of our claim You're sure doctor, of course. I'm sure Well, I recognized mr. Swarm's car at this shack of the Indian But when I saw the other car well, I was worried about you. No, no, no, no, it's all right.  All the way into Fort Myers this morning I puzzled over how the flag and could possibly have exploded in the vault you found the answer Or have you known it all along Salkoff? I do not understand mr. Dollar. I think I do Johnny. I thought so from the first I've heard about you Salkoff about some of your activities during the last war I pray that heaven will forgive me for what I have forced to do in that conflict mr. Dollar forced It is my hope that by serving this wonderful country that that has given me refuge In some way I can make up for the terrible things I was compared to do For the man who sought to rule the world now. That's a very pretty speech. Oh, it's true Mr. Dollar you've only to consult the records of the war crimes. I may take a look at those records before I'm through with this case I humbly beg you to do so you still haven't told us where you've been all day leon I tried to figure out how the explosion could possibly have occurred So I telephoned one of our contacts contacts the glass company that has furnished us with the heavy Flags, but there is no way the additive could have caused them to disintegrate Disintegrate no no doctor or the flagon had stood. We found the pile of granulated glass The flagon had completely crystallized. Oh, but even so Wait Of course, of course by some means exactly a critical the formula for the glass that I obtained from the glass works Indicated the possibility would you gentlemen mind telling us what this is all about? Mr. Dollar, I believe leon has found the answer. Well, if he has I'll take back a lot of the things I've said and thought about him Of course, we can't be sure until we prove that it means waiting until morning Oh great meantime, we have a lot of work to do We spend most of the night working like dogs Swabbing out the vault with a powerful neutralizing solution Then early in the morning the four of us gathered in the vaults A flagon like the first one was placed on the marble slab in the middle of the floor We sat around awake a long time Then I noticed something The rays of the sun Coming through one of the tiny thick windows The light was focused as though through a magnifying glass Slowly the powerful searing pinpoint of light worked its way over to the flagon Dr. Alworth rose and held a piece of paper where the rays converged It burst into flame there Now you can see the tremendous heat generated at this point. Yes, and on the flagon itself exactly The tempered thick glass wall of the bottle at tempered perhaps to a highly critical degree But the crystallized doctor the way the other one did leon I still don't believe it. Well many things will cause glass to crystallize vibrations of many kinds You've heard I'm sure of the tenor who shatters the goblet by the power the vibrations of his voice But light vibrations. Oh doctor, of course it Should have occurred by now if it's going to at all Oh the temperature of that bottle must be terrific the pressure building up in the glass itself I don't understand Still the angle of the sun is slightly different each day Or an imperceptible flaw in the one that exploded. Oh sure Well, perhaps the other had some outside stimulus to act as a as a trigger a sudden graft perhaps Oh any little thing excuses leon you're stalling You said the other bottle was in here alone The doors closed only it wasn't because you exploded that thing I don't know how but you did it and if that isn't sabotage Come on, johnny this gag has been carried far enough I saw a tool A tiny moth Attracted by the blazing spot of light on the side of the flagon Where the focus rays of the sun converged The moth circled flew past it Almost brushing it with his wings We waited He circled again again Then dove at it Well time yes leon I apologize A tiny moth Triggered the reaction that disintegrated that crystallized that bottle into a million tiny grains like sand And simply because of the difference in temperature of his little body Seems impossible But it happened Expense account total including the trip back to heart for 204 dollars even Remarks Pay up this claim in a hurry will you The more help we can give to people like dr. Alworth and leon salcoff the better yours truly Johnny dollar Star will return in just a moment Now here is our star to tell you about next week story next week Well, I thought my job in florida was all done far from it.

We did before and the total of the sample down here. And so now you've got same kind of concept. This is, we took this column and said, count them if they are less than or equal to 60. We came up with 50 of them. This one count them if they're greater than 60. We got 30. We did this 80 times. So this number of columns here is 80. We took a sample of 80 out of the theoretical population. Is 80 and then we said, okay, well 50 out of 80. 50 out of 80, we're four candidate A that's 63 about and 30 out of 80 is 38 about. And that's a total of 100%.  So now we have a whole lot more results. Now if I put these results again into a column, I'm going to go way over here and say, and I short cut at this table. So this doesn't have, this isn't as long as the table we will do in Excel, just giving you the kind of idea. But here's the results. So now we've got the results, the percents.  You can see, boom, boom, boom all the way down to here. And then we took the average. So we did a whole bunch of times this time and we compare each one to the expected. And then this is the difference. Now, and then you can basically kind of make histograms. So this is a histogram of the percent results that we've got from testing it a whole bunch of times. And you would expect then, if you test this a whole bunch of times that it would be hovering around 60%, right? So if I look at my histogram over here, we've got the middle point is leaning a little bit to the right, right? Cause you would expect it to be at like 60. And so it's interesting then to look at your results and see how the histogram, as you look at larger results and try to make a histogram out of it, then start to look at the structure of the histogram as you do this and have more results that you're adding to it. Because you would think that then the form should get close to the, in our case, because we did kind of a mathematical kind of concept and we took it everything below 60%. We took a random draw. You would think that the more times you have a result, you would get something that's going to be tapering off and looking more kind of like a bell shape kind of structure as you take more results. So it could be an interesting concept to get an idea of certain things, doing that conceptually in Excel with small amounts of data and then just run the same thing with larger amounts of data and look at the structure of the graphs and histograms as you do more of it, which should take you closer if you're doing a mathematical thing to the actual population, which in this case we said was 60 of the entire population, which is really kind of just a mathematical concept because it would be the similar thing as with the coin flip, right? If we did it an infinite amount of times, you would expect it to be 60, but then it's gonna taper off and what not if you group them all together. So there's that one.


Muscles have evolved the unique ability to stick to surfaces underwater, and scientists have been studying how they do so in order to develop new materials and technologies. This research has focused on creating synthetic versions of these adhesive proteins, known as coaservates, which can be injected into water to form strong bonds. These coaservates are made up of two components, one that is acidic and one that is basic, which interact with each other to create a stable bond. By varying the pH of the solution, the researchers were able to control the strength of the bond. They also found that the pH of the solution could be adjusted by changing the type of polymer used. This means that the same material can be used in different environments depending on the pH of the surrounding environment. This article was authored by Tan Fat Huyen, Yaching Chen, Fiona L.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our next DDW session called Discover, Enhance, Connect, Act, Modern Data Governance to Unleash the Value of Your Data. That's going to be presented today by Evan Tobin, technical evangelist from BigID. Now, all audience members are muted during these sessions, so please submit your questions in the Q&A window on the right side of the screen, and our speaker will respond to as many questions as possible in the time. Please note that there is a linked form at the bottom of the page titled the EDW Conference Sessions Survey. This is where you can submit session feedback, and we encourage you to do so. It really does help. Also, there is a small icon to the lower right of your screen, which will enlarge this window with the speaker and slides. So, let's begin our presentation now. Thank you all and welcome, Evan. Thanks, Eric. So, let's get here. So, I'm Evan, just as a brief overview. I'm BigID's technical evangelist. So, I help companies bring BigID's data to external systems. So, bring BigID's discovery that we'll talk about today into whatever other systems you're using as an organization. And we'll kind of see some of that at the end because I bet that you're interested not just in, okay, I can use some data governance framework to get information about my data, but you're also interested in how do I bring this to the 30 other tools I'm already using. So, we'll see a little bit of that at the end. First of all, I'd like to congratulate all of you because, presumably, you work in data. And data right now has amazing job security. Organizations are rapidly adding new types of systems to help them fulfill their business needs, right? With COVID-19, there's new systems with new types of machine learning, especially self-serve machine learning and data analytics. There's new types of systems. There's all these different new systems that organizations are adding, and they're adding them everywhere. They're adding them across country boundaries. They're adding them across types of data source, types of applications, types of files even, right? You now are having people who are expecting you to be able to tell what data is inside of an image file. And just to compound all of that for you guys, there's now all these data regulations. And Gartner says that by 2023, 65% of the population is going to be covered by one of these data privacy laws. So, that's just going to 10 times the amount of work to govern properly, know what's inside of these systems, and make sure everything is up to whatever your compliance standards are. And so that is a task that's just too big for a human being, right? If you have thousands of different databases, thousands of different file shares that many modern organizations do, it's not possible to do that as a human, right? It's just not something you can do. It's too many systems, too much data to be able to do that yourself. So, what we've created kind of is a four-layer approach to finding that data inside of all these systems and not just using naive methods of looking at column names or humanely linking stuff. You still need to approve stuff and deny stuff and that kind of stuff, but actually kind of mimicking the process that humans go through as they're going to see and recognize patterns and develop that and give good insight around that. So, that's kind of what we're showing you today. We're going to show you four different lenses that you're able to combine and look at your data to kind of mimic the way a human would look at data and process that, but on a huge scale. So, you're not just going to be able to process your business glossary for 10 databases. Now you can do it for 10,000 databases. So, those four lenses that we have to process your data are going to be first the catalog, which is going to take all of the information that you'd usually have in like a spreadsheet or in some kind of manually written business glossary or something like that. It's going to take all that information that you would have had to track down, take credentials for, talked of like 30 different people to get proper database access. It's going to take all of that information you've spent time trying to get and it's going to grab that information from your data sources automatically for you. It'll tell you what are the column names inside of this database. It'll tell you what type of data is inside of those columns. I know there's historically been a problem with especially older systems. We have column names that are column one, column two, column three inside of your database. The catalog sees past that. The catalog will say there's emails in this column. It'll also check things like access control and that kind of stuff and show you all that information in one place. Our next lens is the ability to classify information. Not just cataloging the information but also being able to say, okay, we have this random file, this random column. What really is it? Going beyond just regular expression classification and saying, okay, I can tell that this piece of text is an email because it looks like an email. Going beyond that and saying, okay, I can tell this file is an invoice because I have this machine learning model that says this is what an invoice looks like and it matches it. In addition, being able to classify inside of those unstructured pieces of data. So saying, okay, we have our invoice inside of that invoice. What data do we have? Which is something that increasingly is being required by organizations to comply with data privacy laws and compliance standards and moving data in between countries is kind of a newer, very big one. So being able to look inside documents and say, okay, there's a phone number inside of this document that maybe that document was being stored as an image. Cluster analysis is our third lens. Cluster analysis is going to allow us to say, okay, we have millions of files in our file shares and those file shares could be cloud file shares. They could be SMB, Windows file shares, whatever they are. So taking the data inside of those file shares and saying, okay, we have these files that are similar. This is going to say maybe they're copies and it'll tell you, okay, you have duplicate data here. You might not want to waste data storage costs having 20 copies of this single file as well as group those files together. So we have a folder inside of that folder is 1000 files. All of those files are similar. So they must contain similar information, right? If you have a folder and there's thousands of files in it and the folder is named invoices and those files inside of there look like invoices, right? You're going to be able to say, okay, all of our invoices kind of look like this and take that information and know, okay, if I get a request for this type of information, it's in a lot of our invoices, so I should probably check invoices. Finally, and what I think is the coolest of these four lenses is the ability to correlate information. So what this means is we're able to take all of your different data sources and not just say, oh, you have a bunch of files. You have a bunch of email addresses. You have a bunch of social security numbers, bank account numbers, but really say you have bank account numbers. This bank account number belongs to this person in the real world. And it doesn't have to be people in the real world. I know some people have used correlation for things like part numbers. So like machine part numbers, some people have said and used our correlation to say, give me all the data on this machine part number and it'll find all the files and everything related to that machine part. So correlation is the ability to find information that belongs to something that exists in the real world or I guess virtual world you could do as well. Those four lenses are what we call our four essential services. We have catalog, classify, cluster and correlate our four services. And that's the big ID platform. On top of that is whatever you want. So a lot of my time is spent dedicated to teaching people how to create their own data protection apps, how to create their own data perspective apps, as well as use the however many we have now through our marketplace and a few other places that you can download and run into your environment. It really is the case with big ID that we provide these four services and then everything else on top of that is either an app we've built, an app one of our partners built, an app a customer built or something that you just wanted and you built yourself. We've really enabled people to say, we have these services, take them wherever you want. And people have really liked that so far. So right here on my screen here you can actually see this is what it looks like when you log into big ID. So I've logged into my big ID training environment here and this is the first thing you see. So you can kind of see, okay, it's showing me a brief view of those four services. If I go on the left hand tab here, so our little menu, you can see there's individual pages for those four services. So let's just click into correlation and I can show you a little bit of what correlation is all about. So here in correlation, we have a list of attributes. So these are attributes about the things we're tracking, right? I said before you can track people. It seems like here we're tracking people because we have user IDs. And then we also have, it looks like we're tracking songs because we have song IDs down here as well. So we can say, okay, we have this user ID. Let's see where else that leads us here. So if I enable showing this table here, we can see, okay, we have our user ID. And it seems like our people are going to be stored inside of this user's AP database table here. And so I'll enable profiles just so we can see a little bit deeper look and see, okay, our people's user IDs are also inside of these profiles. And then that also traverses down into subscription identifier.  Where is their data? And so this correlation screen here is just a good way for me to illustrate of, okay, if we're looking at one piece of information for a person, what systems is that in? So correlation is going to tell us where is this person's data. After we have that data, what we can do is we can classify it, right? So we know that this data belongs to this person and we can say what type is it. So this has 212 different classifiers loaded into it. Classifiers can be created by you or there's 200 some preloaded that we've already made for you. So you can see, okay, I want to click on country. I want to see who's or let's click on something that's more kind of PII. US Social Security Numbers. We're storing US Social Security Numbers and it looks like we're storing them inside of a server that is located inside of New York. And that's getting transferred to application that's located inside of Portugal. So in our case, there's not really any problem here. Maybe we just decide to use a cheap Portugal web hosting provider or something. In other countries such as China, Russia with that are going to have restrictions in terms of transferring data between countries or even the EU for that matter. You're going to want to be able to see, okay, I have this person's data at this physical location. Where's it going? And then if I scroll down even more. Well, there's no people for that one. I guess I'll just go back up to email. If I scroll down even more, I can see exactly where that information is. So it looks like we have emails inside of this relational database. We have emails inside of this relational database inside of this specific file. We have email addresses inside of this image. We have email addresses. So it'll call out and tell you where exactly is this information. We also have cluster analysis, which as I said before is going to look at files and tell you information about them in general. So it's going to look at all of the files we have that are similar. And so we have all these files that are artwork agreements that are similar. And it's going to say, okay, we have these 30 artwork agreements. These files are pretty similar. What is an artwork agreement to us? To our organization, what does artwork agreement file mean? And it's going to say, well, an artwork agreement file to your organization means it has emails. It has some residency information inside of there. It has URLs. It has full names. And all this other information inside of that file. If there were duplicates, it would say, hey, why are you storing X amount of this file here? And it would call that out. So you could perhaps adjust your backup settings or adjust where that information is copying to and that costs up. So that's called out on the correlation screen as well. And then I like to think of our catalog service screen as kind of a summary. So it's a summary of all of the information we found everywhere else. I know I've had a few people in my classes come up to me and be like, okay, I need, I've been given the task of creating a business glossary. I've been on it for three months. We have millions of databases. How do I just get information about all of my systems? I can just say this is the data inside of every single system and import that to some external system. So this core catalog service is what's going to allow you to do that, right? So you have every single file we're scanning. And then we have all of our different databases. And then if you look on the right here, all the attributes inside of those databases, so I can expand that. And see, oh, okay, so there's this type of information, this type of information inside of this database. And of course we can export this to Excel to make it easier to read. Or you can click into one of them and see, okay, these are the different things we detected inside of here. These are the columns inside of the database. What is in each column? And then what's the confidence level? So what percentage of those? So once you've completed those four services, I talked about before, okay, we have those four services. Now it's up to you. You run with it. And what I mean by that is there's a few different ways you can extend big ID. The most common I'd say is going to be the application framework. So you can create your own app, as you can see in the upper right. Or we have all these apps that we've created for you that are just deployed. And this isn't even all of them. I think I'm missing like three or four different apps here related to data governance that are not on my environment. But so from that you can take that information and do things like upload files and have big ID tell you whose information was breached. So I upload a sample data breach file. I have big ID scan that and big ID will say, okay, your database users us was breached. This is where the data came from. So breach response notifications become a lot easier. That's just one example of a use case of taking those four different services and branching them out. And so I see a few questions and I'll get to questions at the end, but they kind of relate to the next thing I'm going over. So where is this data coming from? How do I connect? What can I connect to? And the answer to that is anything. So big ID takes the approach that out of the box, we give you around 60 connectors, 60 plus connectors that you're able to use out of the box. You don't need to pay anything for these. They're just installed into big ID when you get big ID. I mean, besides getting big ID, right? So all of these connectors are there for you and they cover the gamut of stuff like office 365 all the way to SAP and Slack and ServiceNow. Even if you wanted to just do CSV exports and something like that, you can do that as well. What if your data source isn't in these 60 options? We have a one day class that I teach that you can come to on how to build a connector. It really is as simple as one day or maybe like a week depending on you need to get credentials, you need to get the business processes lined up. But after that, programming them is very simple, but we have a one day class. You build a custom connector, as you can see right here in the middle, and you can now connect to that data source. And there's no programming language limitations on building those custom connectors.  I teach the classes in TypeScript because I like TypeScript, but you're free to do whatever you want. Beyond just having connecting to these different data sources to get the data and scan the data and give you data insights about them, you also can connect to whatever type of integration system you want. So two sample integrations that I think are very common are going to be a sample integration to JIRA. So if an alert fires within big ID, I want to create a JIRA ticket. That's an integration that's on our big ID community that you download. It's just a big ID app. You install it and all of a sudden automatically big ID will automatically synchronize your information from JIRA to big ID and back and forth and so on and so forth. We also have what's called metadata connections. So there's a few of those. All of those also take the form of an app. So something like interfacing with Calibra, you're able to, what I think of metadata collections as is you're interfacing with big ID presents a view of the real world, right? Big ID scanning your actual systems. So Calibra gives you, Calibra and all these other data governance tools are going to give you a logical view of your systems, right? What you think they look like. So these metadata exchanges are going to allow you to take big IDs, data about the real world and reconcile that with the logical data that your data governance organization has about systems. I know it's very common like, okay, I finally got through documenting all my systems properly. And then the applications updated. And then everything changed. And so being able to keep that metadata connection of my documentation, I have the real world that big IDs providing, and it's changing that data is very important. So I think I'll do, I'll go to questions now. That way we'll have a little bit extra time and I can show you in the product where that actually is. So we have our first question here, I'd be curious to see how I can track where my data goes, not just the data itself, how do you show me that. So currently big ID does not provide our own lineage tool. So we don't provide something that you would see like, what's a good example of a lineage tool. I'm just trying to think of one. But we don't provide like, Oh, this data flowed through this system flow to this system flow to this system, you can document that and big ID, but we're not going to discover that flow for you. But we do have integrations with lineage systems that allow you to get that insight. So we can do a metadata exchange with a lineage system to enhance their data and then pull the lineage into big ID. The second question, how is the tool deployed, what is required in order to gain this level of insight. How is it able to capture that a user has stored an email in the database, like I showed. So how is it deployed. There's a few different deployment scenarios. The most common today is on Prem. It's on Prem. Kubernetes is the most on Prem Kubernetes or on Prem Docker is the most common. However, you can there is a button in the AWS marketplace, where you can just click deploy big ID, and it'll spin up an instance for you. So there are you can deploy it in the cloud. I know some people have a lot of our customers are going to go with that on Prem option though. What's required to get that level of insight. So there's a few things required. The biggest I would say is you just need to have read only credentials to that data source. So if you're trying to scan a MySQL database, you need read only connect credentials to connect to MySQL. And then at that point you click inside a big ID scan this data source. It's going to go through our scanning process, which there's a ton of different parts of the scanning process I think we take like an hour of that in our product class. But there, it goes through the scanning process and then it spits out the results. So there's a lot to do with the scanning process I can't talk about right now just because we're time limited, but that's the highest level view. I'm sure that a user has stored an email in the database. So during the scanning process. Going to classify all the information it comes across of using the installed classifiers in your system. So this is a machine learning classifier. This is a regex classifier. We have, as you can see, at least I think there's like 200 in the system or something. So it uses a combination of those regex classifiers those machine learning classifiers, and then there's also natural language processing classifiers that will be used to on all the data to say, Hey, is this piece of data, this type of data know next one next one next one. I think that answers your question. All right, Evan, it looks like we do have one more question that's come in here. Does does this tool also have governance workflow capability like review and approval process for metadata changes or catalog updates. Workflow capability, kind of. So there is workflow capability where you can say, I'll just bring it up. You can say, okay, data process and sharing, you can say, okay, I have this flow and this is the flow. I've said my data is going through. And then when an update appears, it'll go and say, oh, okay, there's an update to this. And I need to say, where's my, I need to get approval on this from someone so new attribute was discovered. Hey, Ellen, can you come check this out. Yeah, that would send an email to Ellen and it would go in your JIRA, whatever, whatever else. There's that capability. I feel like you're asking for something different, though, approval process for metadata changes. Yeah, so if you could clarify that would be helpful. So has big ID been used as a tool as a part of due diligence in MNAs? So like in mergers and acquisitions, I don't think so. I don't, I haven't heard of that happening yet, but I could see how it would be an amazing tool for that.  And then as like a demo, I've just scanned my computer whenever to like find lost files. It's not what it's made for, but it works. So, so I'm not aware of that, but I don't see why that would be something it couldn't do. How am I defining classifier? So a classifier is going to be either one of three things. For big ID, it's going to be either a machine learning model that says this file looks like this. Or it's going to be a natural language processing model that says inside of a file, a name looks like this. Or it will be a regular expression saying that this piece of data matches this regular expression, then it's a phone number. It's one of those three options that's run against data. And if it returns true, then that piece of data is that type of data, right? So if our phone number matches this regular expression, then this this piece of data is then a phone number. If it matches this regular expression is how we define classifier. Great. Yeah. Oh, I think I just, yeah, I missed one question, but you can email me at evint at bigid.com and I can answer your questions. I think it's in the whatever materials we gave for the conference. Great. Thank you so much, Evan. Also, once this video is processed and posted, the Q&A will remain live. So you'll be able to go back and answer questions textually there as well. Oh, perfect. Evan, thank you so much for this great presentation. Thanks to all of our attendees for tuning in. And a big reminder that the sponsor virtual exhibit booths are open today until 1.30 p.m. Pacific time and will also be open tomorrow. So please do take some time to explore the sponsors area. And please also complete your conference session survey on this page for this session. The next sessions will start up in about 10 minutes. So we'll see you all there. Thanks again, Evan.


Item number SCP-4640 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-4640-1 currently resides in its home in McElwough, Maui County. Two field agents posing as Mr. and Mrs. Feigs are to care for SCP-4640-1 while attempting to persuade SCP-4640-1 to provide them with SCP-4640-2. These attempts are to be gentle, non-confrontational, and intermittent to avoid the manifestation of SCP-4640-3. Once per week, agents are to provide reports regarding SCP-4640-1 and its willingness to provide SCP-4640-2. Additional agents are to monitor SCP-4640-1 discreetly to prevent SCP-4640-3 manifestations. But SCP-4640-1 acknowledged Foundation monitoring, and SK Class 1 vs. Everyone Scenario could ensue. Tests will be conducted in designated Foundation's safe spots, where SCP-4640-1 will be taken to by the previously mentioned agents, which will be announced as family and or school trips. All tests have been halted until further notice. Description SCP-4640 is the collective designation given the two entities currently linked via an anomalous item. Each of these elements have been subclassified as SCP-4640-1 through 3. SCP-4640-1 is Andrew Feigs, an 11-year-old male of Native Hawaiian descent. SCP-4640-1 is non-nomeless, however it is the owner of SCP-4640-2. Any attempt to forcibly remove SCP-4640-2 from SCP-4640-1 results in the manifestation of SCP-4640-3. SCP-4640-2 is a yellow circular plastic pen with a stylized purple W. SCP-4640-1 claims that prior to owning it, neither the coloration or W were originally present. As of right now, SCP-4640-2 is attached on the upper left side of a hoodie constantly worn by SCP-4640-1. When SCP-4640-2's current owner is endangered, physically, psychologically, or emotionally, it causes SCP-4640-3 to manifest. SCP-4640-3 is a humanoid entity of muscular build, standing approximately 1.8 meters in height. SCP-4640-3 is dark purple coloration, with a golden W on its chest and yellow pigmentation on its hands, feet, and pelvic area. It is also of note that, despite having the appearance of a human male, SCP-4640-3 did not possess any genitals or interglutial cleft. SCP-4640-3 goes by the name of Wonder Man, and presents various anomalous abilities characteristic to classical superhero tropes. These have been seen to include Abnormal Strength Abnormal Speed Abnormal Endurance Being impervious to damage Emitting light beams from the eyes at will Amnestic capabilities Healing individuals through direct skin contact When SCP-4640-3 manifests, it will go through any measures to protect SCP-4640-1. Damaging structures and other living beings is necessary. SCP-4640-3 will also use its amnestic abilities on SCP-4640-1 in order to eliminate any traumatic experience. It is theorized that SCP-4640-2's and SCP-3's appearance are based off from SCP-4640-1's ideation of the concept of what a superhero is. However, both aforementioned objects share the branding color scheme of various Dr. Wonder Tainment products. Research into whether SCP-4640-2 is a Dr. Wonder Tainment product, or if SCP-4640-1 has previous knowledge of the company's ongoing. Addendum 4640-1 Discovery SCP-4640-3's first recorded sighting occurred in the Elementary High School, where it spontaneously manifested after a series of students laughed at SCP-4640-1 when it accidentally dropped its beverage on itself. SCP-4640-3 obligated the other students to apologize, followed up by anesthetizing SCP-4640-1 as the event. Foundation response teams were dispatched, amnesticized all witnesses and then catalogued the occurrence as an extra-normal event. A direct link to SCP-4640-1 was not made until July 6, 2018, where a reported purple superhero saved child from a deadly car accident. The accident involved a gas truck colliding on the lateral side of a car being driven by Mr. and Mrs. Feaks. All individuals involved, excluding SCP-4640-1 died in the event. SCP-4640-3 denomnesticized SCP-4640-1 and took it to a video game store to latter frequency. Addendum 4640-2 Interview Log Interview E. SCP-4640-1 Interviewer, Agent Hilla, posing as the elementary school psychiatrist. Forward. The interview was conducted for the purpose of gathering information about SCP-4640-2's origin. SCP-4640-1 was told that it was chosen at random for a psychological evaluation. Begin Log Hi, Andrew. How have you been doing lately? I think I'm doing fine. Why am I here again? Well, because I'm still new around here, so as a way to get to know you all a little better, I'm doing evaluations at random, so don't be scared or surprised if you get called again in the future. Oh. Okay. So, what do you think of yourself around here?  I, uh, I guess I'm just a quiet one. Oh, that's totally fine. Not everyone needs a wacky personality. Actually, did you know people who are reserved are usually more intelligent? Really? Well, I'm assuming so. You have such good grades, after all. Thanks. I assume you must be a creative person as well. I've heard you like the doodle in your notebooks. I do. Would you like to see some of them? Can I bring my math notebook? That one's got the most drawings. Maybe later, Andrew. I noticed you have a rather interesting pen there, and it made me curious about your personal interest. Is it from Michelle? It's not. It's a Wonder Man pen. And what's Wonder Man exactly? Never heard that name. He used to be just in my drawings, but since I got the pen he actually became real. He teleports to me whenever I need him. Is that so? And where did you get it? I mean, who wouldn't want a personal superhero? I'd like one, too. It came inside a plastic box in his weird cereal mom once bought. It was delicious, but she says she can't find more of it. My favorite part were the marshmallows. I'm pretty sure they change the color every time you close and open your eyes, but mom told me she could only see them blue. Perhaps she went to a store she normally doesn't go to? I don't know. She never told me. Hey, isn't it weird she was the only one that bought the cereal? There's normally more boxes behind the ones you first see. It does sound pretty weird. Maybe the cereal got discontinued or something. Oh, would you look at the time? It's almost recess. Let's finish this chat for now. I'll see when we can meet together again. I got really curious about this Wonder Man you mentioned. You're free to leave now. Okay, thanks. Bye, Ms. Lienzi. Bye, Andrew. End log. Closing Statement Investigation into all supermarkets located near SCP-4640-1's residence has revealed that no personnel or written records evidence the existence of a cereal, advertising the described features. However, security footage of Mrs. Feek's analyzing in a confused manner a honey-nut cereal cereal box and then adding it to the shopping cart was found in ██████. Whether this footage has any relevance is still being debated. Addendum ████-4640-3 Testing Log The following is a series of failed attempts at attaining SCP-4640-2. This list has been recently abridged. Consult Dr. Akoha for the complete testing log. Test ████-1 Procedures Agent Killawa and Gersh, posing as SCP-4640-1 parents, attempt to acquire SCP-4640-2 while it's asleep. Results SCP-4640-1 is seen with SCP-4640-2 now attached to its pajamas. When attempting to remove the object, SCP-4640-3 manifested. The entity raised its right index finger up to its mouth and shushed at the agents until they left the room. Attempts at re-entering the room were met with SCP-4640-3 remanifesting and repeating the process. Test ████-5 Procedures Agent Foros poses as a substitute teacher at attempts to confiscate SCP-4640-2 from SCP-4640-1. Results SCP-4640-1 responded by taking SCP-4640-2 from its hoodie and placing it inside its pocket, apologizing for wearing the object. Test ████-6 Procedures Follow up the previous test. Agent Foros demands SCP-4640-1 to give her SCP-4640-2. Results SCP-4640-1 reacts with fear, resulting in SCP-4640-3 manifesting. The entity then tells Agent Foros to apologize, followed by the agent being forced verbally to sit at a corner of the class. SCP-4640-3 watched over the agent to prevent her from getting up until the school day was over. Test ████-9 Procedures An individual named Robert Frow, allegedly SCP-4640-1's best friend, is paid $10 in order for him to ask SCP-4640-1 if he can borrow SCP-4640-2. Results SCP-4640-1 responded with a no without further comment. Test ████-10 Procedures Frow is told to use his $10 to buy SCP-4640-2 from SCP-4640-1. Results SCP-4640-1 is specifically told Robert to get away from him. Test ████-16 Procedures Agent McKelsen, posing as a clerk at the grocery store, SCP-4640-1 often visits, attempts to convince SCP-4640-1 to give him SCP-4640-2 in exchange for any confectionary of his liking. Results SCP-4640-1 turns down the offer, indicating SCP-4640-2 is more valuable than candy. Despite no danger or offense towards SCP-4640-1 having been made, SCP-4640-3 still manifested, relating to the former's comment that eating too much sugar is bad for SCP-4640-1's health anyways. The entity then gestured a thumbs up towards SCP-4640-1, which responded in the same manner. Test ████-23 Procedures Agents Killawa and Gersh walk with SCP-4640-1 towards an alleyway, where a staged mugging act with D-9022 being the thief will occur. Results SCP-4640-3 manifested and punched D-9022 in the face, breaking his nose. D-9022 was rendered unconscious. SCP-4640-3 then turns to face SCP-4640-1, exclaims the phrase, I'm the Wonder Man, in a lower pitch voice followed by its demanifestation. Medical examination of D-9022 revealed minor skull fractures in its front and backside. These appear to originate from the initial punch at its face and a subsequent impact with the ground. Test ████-30 Procedures D-9023 is instructed to walk unsuspiciously towards SCP-4640-1, and then steal SCP-4640-2 as fast as possible. Results SCP-4640-3 manifested, while D-9023 was at a meter distance from SCP-4640-1. He then grabbed D-9023 by the collar, stared at it in an intimidating manner, and then threw it on the floor with excessive force. This resulted in various burst fractures along D-9023's spine. Test ████-31 Procedures D-9024 is instructed to walk unsuspiciously behind SCP-4640-1, and then knock it unconscious with the given baseball bat. Results SCP-4640-3 manifests the moment the baseball bat makes contact with SCP-4640-1's head. SCP-4640-3 then takes the bat and breaks it in half, followed by SCP-4640-3 throwing the broken bat pieces at D-9023 with enough force as to have broken two of its ribs. SCP-4640-3 then turns to SCP-4640-1, heals it via anomalous means, and then unests the sizes of the event. Test ████-32 Procedures D-9025 is told to incapacitate SCP-4640-1 via shooting one of its legs from an area SCP-4640-1 does not have visibility of. Results SCP-4640-3 manifested when the fired bullet was 10 meters short of connecting with its target. Bullet ricochet off when making contact with the entity, damaging a nearby building. SCP-4640-3 then redirected its line of sight towards D-9025 and fired a laser at its location, effectively killing D-9025. After a few seconds, SCP-4640-3 turns towards one of the hidden cameras recording the test and stares at it for a total of five minutes before attending SCP-4640-1 and de-manifesting. Addendum 4640-4 Incident Log On January 15, 2018, SCP-4640-1 started experiencing a nightmare involving itself being pursued by a multitude of characters originating from various cartoon shows it watches. This resulted in SCP-4640-3 manifesting at seemingly random locations in an approximate radius of 6.5 kilometers from SCP-4640-1. The entity acted as if it were in combat with said characters, often using its anomalous capabilities to defend SCP-4640-1. In said attempts to defend SCP-4640-1, SCP-4640-3 displayed a large quantity of previously unknown abnormal abilities. Some of which include flight, spontaneous generation of control over fire, spontaneous generation of control over electricity, generation of ice particles via exhaling, manifestation of solid translucent barriers, self-duplication, short-range teleportation. This resulted in the destruction of multiple buildings with a total death count of ████████ and ██████████ injured. The rest of the surrounding populace at this point had woken up, most of which sought shelter while the remaining few attempted to record the event. Despite an additional SCP-4640-3 instance preventing the commotion from interrupting SCP-4640-1's sleep, agents Kilowah and Gersh managed to successfully wake up SCP-4640-1, resulting in the immediate demanifestation of all SCP-4640-3 instances. Modern amnestics were released and a fake memory of an earthquake was implanted. All recorded evidence of the event was destroyed, with copies currently being stored in the video archives.
