Good morning everybody, thank you for coming. I understand that Sunday morning in Poland would be a little bit hard, if you're not so interested in it. Well, thank you very much Marwa, and if you're still in the community there, we invite you to talk with us a little bit about community management and data science, or social. So this is more of the outline for the talk. I have plenty of slides, so before I even join you, everyone is there, and primarily the demo is not going to work, as usual, but don't worry, it just happens all the same things. What the idea is to do that thing is usually not happening, but I don't see myself as a community junkie, I don't have to be addicted to a lot of communities. I'm stuck in the HP Calculators Computer Club in London, and for the time being, I don't have a chance. For me, I've been in several limited-use groups in Spain, I've been in GPD, I've been in... Another thing, and actually I'm working as a company, one of the things we are doing is community metrics, that is a very busy topic. Let's talk about it. I remember when I started in the University, I was from a little town in the north of Spain, and I came to Madrid to teach a talk, and we make us a photo of the community we have there in that city, we make a photo with three guys, I don't know who you know, do you remember? Okay. The young part of the area, I met there, I worked with him, I was at home with Micah.  And then, this is for two years ago, in the CLS in Portland, in the middle of the 6th Summit, you see a lot of communities, they are serving the same problem, the same issue. So, first of all, I do disclaimer, I know a computer that could be the scientist, so any of you probably know more than me about technology, I know a lot of science, so it's interesting to be able to talk about data science and community management for the entire community, so it's going to be happy, I think, it's going to be fun. So, when you're talking about open communities and open development communities, usually people start to worry about, okay, what's a community? I'm probably not sure, but no, what's a community for us? It's not a group of people. Why do you usually go to the UK? The UK is usually not sure, so they go to the UK. I was too long, so it's important for people to serve something in common, things that are in common, so it's not about people. It's always about people. When we talk about communities, you might have already told people, you'll interact with people. People that serve things, especially, specifically, depending on communities, so those things are not only equal, but discussions, meetings, everything is almost online, so the community has a vision, has a vision, it's all about. Everybody in the community has its own goals, probably in a community to learn, or in a community if you want to improve the technology, but the community by itself has some kind of target, so that's the idea for it. And especially we are seeing communities in open source, I think it's the people of open source development, and now we are seeing this, all the inner source about creating communities inside companies to develop better innovation and better products. I don't know how it's going to work, but it's happening somewhere. And they are basically in three points, self-awareness, governance, and transference. When I mean self-awareness, you need to know where you are in the community, where the community is, where the community is going on, you need to know where are you reaching, what are the potential people you are reaching, or what are the people that are doing the most activities, the distribution of the community, how far are you from the community, or the community. Governance, you usually could be written to be the fact though, I don't know, but usually some kind of policy, we are discussing before or something like that, but you usually are taking that, you are following that policy somehow, you need to follow that, and that you are also learning to make sure the community, and of course, transference. And for me, transference can be divided into two different parts.  You need to be transparent to third parties, because that generates trust. If you hide things to third parties, I promise you are going to have very big problems, because everything is going to, someone is going to show it up, I promise you. And then, when these things start to worry, these roles appear, the community management, and this has been an interesting discussion last year in Australia, in London, it was, do the communities need to be managed? Because the world management needs something like, you are going to do this because I'd say that, that's something very strong in a community of, oh okay, we are all the same in this community, so, there are these discussions, what's the role of community management, of community management in the community? What should we worry about? And when you are talking about this community manager, the feeling you perceive is that we are worried about things like the health of the community, is the community active, is the community alive, is the community productive? Now in the sense, okay, we are releasing something each three months, but isn't the policy to be done? But I mean, is the community acting this way in the end? Are we going through all that? And is the community visible? That's for me one of the latest ones, and probably not very much people worry about, but when you discuss with people in the JavaScript environment, how many JavaScript frameworks do you know? Probably there are more JavaScript frameworks than even human beings, but when you talk to the people which are the JavaScript frameworks you should use, they are going to name what they have heard about it. If you ask for the big one, if there is someone who told me, because I saw in Twitter that this one is so amazing, so that's the series. Probably there are even better frameworks than nobody knows because it's not really yet to be seen. I don't have a marketing campaign. So when you start wanting to know what's going on in the communities, do you want people to start to want to know what's going on? I can't measure that somewhere. It's okay to measure it to know. If you don't have data, you are someone with an opinion, so fast people are not opinion. If you do any metrics, and we do metrics, we do metrics with her, because if you do metrics, people are going to cheat the metrics. I want to try to cheat the metrics. I want people to choose tickets, so I want to pull something like a notification of who isn't the most ticket. I want to start closing tickets, and one more later I want to create even tickets to close it faster than why this is one. So you have to remove that notification from the community, because you are getting out of it. So okay, when you are talking about open development, and you start thinking about allies in this case, and transparency, okay, you can start thinking, okay, can we do open development and allies? What's going on in the system? Your community managers start to be like allies. Usually you use this approach, okay. It's not that easy, but I need information, so okay, my time is limited. Where I should look at? Where does this happen? When you see around, of course everything is online. How many of you know something about Python? Please. How many of you know something about JavaScript? How many of you know less API? So for you, if you are community manager, it's pleasing to, okay, let's go to the, I don't know, probably this course or Stack Overflow, they have a nice API. Let's go ahead and create a script to start building one in there. Yeah, but my problem is that, okay, my community is discussing Stack Overflow. I'm committing to GitHub, and open issues in GitHub are discussing in the flag. And all of them are, all of them are very different. So you start wasting 80% of your time and this has been said for some community manager. And I've been wasting 80% of my time doing something I've not paid for, that is making scripts to gather data, not for taking decisions, and posting it here too, just to know what's happening now. The decision based on the data that I have, killing a half of the community. So there are some interesting approaches here, and that's the name of some of you. How many of you are about to open up? Open up? Okay, there's a few of you. Well, Stack Overflow has even parameters that publish regularly. Stack Analytics is a solution that is using over the stack, for example. GitTorrent, GitHub Archive. Well, just today, I don't know if it's in the room. I'm just coming with a little bit more about doing some Google BigQuery analysis on GitHub, and people is using that as something, okay, fresh impact. So if you need to know a little bit more, BigQuery and things like that, well, you'd have even a custom API in BigQuery. But you're still looking only a part of the week to write. If you go there, it's not okay. Stack Overflow, open up is okay. Stack Analytics. So what this is for then, so it's to talk about open source, another solution that people try, but it's going to work out. It's an open source toolkit to analyze open source development. There's no software development, but in general, you can track information from almost any data source using open development. There's the URL. You can go there. There's some documentation. And the idea for that, I don't know if I'm going to demo it. But basically, I'm not going to bore you with the details of the architecture. I'm going to give a bit of a review, please. You get out of data source, right? It's going later. You will get a complete file. Okay, this is where my community is defined. This is my project. This is the data. This is Stack Overflow. This is the maintenance. These are, I don't know, for this course, because I have set up all this course for you. And everything is sort of a complete file in the system. And then it's produced in my passwords. You have a API, a recipe. You can wear it to a skin. This is something that is going on in the development. I'm going to review this as soon as possible. I know. Yeah. One of the key points here is if you don't drive the people that are doing the analysis for you, you can download the system, run it by yourself and see how it's going to be measured. And this is something that is very important to you to look at the tools that are outside. You need to trust who is measuring your community. Here, you can even measure by yourself that it's measuring your community. That's something quite different in several cases. Well, just to brief the technology using the new model app. So it's out of Python. A little bit of elastic search to store the data. Something, some Kibana to do visualization. Name some of the pieces of the architecture you have. First of all, for tracking information. Something hard for making the magic of matching identities across the different data sources. So you can profile a person or a company organization across the whole community to know what's going on there and what they are doing. And then some of the things like predefined Kibana dashboard that you can import using the community or even Kibita that is part of Kibana. We are contributing to Kibana to allow some of the things by menus So the idea is these are the data sources that are really important. So in my indie time I was surprised to see many people as well. I don't know. I don't know what it is. Paxilla is already important. Sorry, I was in the middle of trying to keep the project. And then it has been out of the way. So I am not going to show you what Kibana is and what you can do. The idea was to do a quick demo so I am going to skip that for the finals if I can't find it. There are plenty of things that I want to show how to play with this. But just to brief, starting is too easy. This is the geeky point to start. You don't need to run Kibana or run the Kibana. But there is a tutorial that you can follow. It's the base table. How to develop with Vimorla. We will talk about Python later and how to use the tool for Python developers. If you are more than working you can join us. This is one of the things I want to show later if I can. It's actually a Kibana dashboard built from scratch. So it will take something like 20 minutes or no more than even less if you pack all the data later. So next that I would like to show and this is the thing you can't think about data science. Because the idea is you want to have this running playing with the data resources. You can think like network analysis for example. Do you know Kibana does this graph analysis that is totally valid or there is a process blooming to allow you to visualize your community in this type of but this is developing a new project and this is our own Git projects in GitHub. You can guess things like for example the nodes. The nodes are the people working in the project. The size of the nodes is the number of commits they are doing. The blue boxes are the repositories they are working on. So you can see things like this repository is only maintained by only maintained by Santiago. You can see that Alvaro is doing a lot of things. He is competing here, there and there but Daniel is working alone in the panel. So okay that's five minutes don't spend more than that but maybe you need to talk to Alvaro maybe you need to talk with Daniel about your team to run your panel somehow. Or probably it's not in your domain but you can think about it. So this is the kind of things you can do. You can even arrange by colors so that means for example organizations you can see which organization is working with which organization which repository Alvaro we are talking about repositories but you remember the resources you can think about Forlun you can think about ASC you can talk about dependency and this is something that I will talk in history with and someone told me. Do you know the pony factor in Apaches over Foundation they define the pony factor it's a number and it's a very nice formula okay you can see you know who is doing the 50% of the commits. In a period of time on the whole project you can query and see okay I should talk with these people okay in this case the pony factor is one so that project is something like 50% of the commits but this is Daniel's model typical thing who is doing the 80% of the activity who is doing the 50% 50% of the activity or the elephant factor but if we are here we are very innovative in names so if there is a pony factor there should be an elephant factor the number of companies doing the 50% of the commits or the contributions and that's something that could be measured and you can see the names and you can see the votes and now we have also the police people elephants are companies the last factor I think is something like 75% of the people you need to hit in a bus or something like that the return of the factor is when you look at the code that actually you are actually now which code is there and who are the authors of that code which is the number of people that is owning the 50% of that code in the case of Linus Kernel is around 202 and Linus Kernel 50% of the code is from 250 that means a lot of people who are there when you look at the companies and that's the united fruit company factor is around 10 companies now it's the same thing like on the elephant it came to the nowadays code one of the things again about Hibana analysis and this technology is that you can see the evolution of our time so probably in the beginning the return of the factor for the Linus Kernel was one you can see the evolution of how the burst has become in this project and how the code has been removed but not so you can see who are the people who are there and you can see it online in the twitter top you can see things like your graphical institutional diversity of your community and usually you rely on data like okay in github you have activity already there is someone where they are so you can see the results for example in Mozilla they have these reps activities panel what these reps said where they are storing what events are happening and how are you reaching community there so you can see all those activities around assets for example already but for example when you are doing commits some people configure their laptop to sell zero time zone but most of them are not doing now this pattern for example in Mozilla you can see the Mozilla authors quite often and again when you see the evolution of our time you can see things like for example when I started it was basically west code development and three years later you will be able to see how this works from asia, china, india start to grow up so you can see something is happening there so if I am community minded it is probably the group there and I have another quite easily I don't need to fully survive I don't need to make because just look at the data I already have in my community things like the demography I think this is one of the most challenging things in community management because sometimes when you are in community management you are thinking about how to engage people how I get more people in my community usually the problem is not how to get more people but that's a problem too and the idea of paying that for me in community management is how I retain the people I already have in my community I start organizing events and one more later I see that nobody of the first event is coming back and when you see you can see when they have done the first contribution and you can see when they have done the last contribution but you can't even draw how someone that joined in this period how many people start to leave the community and in that case if someone has done a contribution in just three months probably I need to send an email okay what's happening to you so be friendly some of the people probably dealing with all the issues and things like that when you are taking care of the people the people is going to thank you and probably it's going to be more engaged and that can be also long gender gender is going off we have published during the last year three analysis gender technical contribution analysis two, for example the industry open stack and so on we have seen things very interesting when we reach the analysis we put a thing like it should be 50-50 for example so that's the role we start talking to companies and see what they are performing in this area okay they are publishing things like okay my company 30% of my people are women for example that's the case for google, drum box many of them when we run the analysis for these projects we arrive to something very big gap you see something like around 10% even when you can see that maybe some of them are committing using mail names probably a 20% gap to the industry that's quite huge when you compare that to 50% in the market world there is a big gap so something should be done when you put that in numbers when you show that to these outreach programs they start to think okay I like these numbers because I can know now who are the ones that are enjoying the community enjoying the community, staying in the community so I can gain more from there I can learn from those people someone on the internet very interesting question the most difficult question in this part there is an API you can query with a name with a short time accuracy if you answer it this name is made of female the main issue is with facial names because until I think you can use the same name for male or female we have a Chinese guy in the company so he asks do you know in this case when you have that list you can ask even them are you interested in helping us in this somehow so again, you are taking the community for companies again, it's tough for you you can run the analysis things that you can't even do are related with performance in the project are related with core review core review is one of the core from my point of view one of the core processes when you are doing open source development you are talking with people accepting path sets, request you are talking with them and sometimes people only worry about hey, we have like 1,000 pull requests last week, yeah wow how long does it take to get a set what, we have 1,000 how fast are you setting who are the code that is faster, which ones are the people that are sending more pull requests and even worse, which ones are the people that have sent in a pull request you have to say no please improve the code and never come back because you are losing that for me there are some people that want to put you to your brain and you are, now it's not aligned with my code of clean code and you are losing them, they want to help you and you are not taking them from now because you are worried, hey, we have 1,000 pull requests, right? so here you can measure things like how long does it take, who are the people that are making those pull requests faster you can even measure how long does it take how long does it take for the submitter to send to the brain, how many iterations are needed to get the code accepted so you can even say, okay, these people are doing this pull request please, would you join my company please join my core reviewers people we need help on core reviews and like that, I mean how many this is called the open review one so it's opening a view, now it's not open and you can see things when you are analyzing the version information and remember, start over for making these to Jenkins you can measure information there in a lot of ways measure things like how long does it take for someone to open a user story in JIRA, then open some issues open some issues in JIRA, then someone commits to those issues those issues, those commits are tested on reviewers through every and they are okay, get accepted, deploy them in Jenkins and then you have the product so you can measure things like how long does it take for an idea to use a story to deploy many things that's something when you have all these decisions can you measure also the bugs, so the the commits of the code and then correlations to the how many bugs the person is generating just testing research around that and one of the companies has done some research about that we can talk later about these people have some basis on research on analysis that's something that we are we are I have to stop I was just the review of things you can also measure things that people are reviewing each other you can even from companies this is the testing this is what is the website for review analysis and the spots are the companies here you have the number of accepted reviews and here the number of iterations needed iterations for the exception what do you think about companies contributing to something like WebKit for some companies that that's the main product they are saying or raising their business so if you sign a full request there or a part set it's something that is related to my innovation and my business depends on this and this can be accepted by the community so you can see things like someone was accepting more and someone was accepting faster we can discuss about later because I know people involved in that you can read the paper here and you can see which company for the project at the end of this process and create a WebKit version think like your issues management system how is the process you can even look at this very complex thing and you can identify where bottlenecks are or the real process is going like you have said in the data one of the things we are working as an idea maybe was to be ready for further but there are other things ready for further and already was this contributing to this panel this idea of people, the service or attendees came through meetups, power tools join your Slack channel thoroughly then start to ok I would like to help but I have to in the background why don't you go to Praxilla or did I open an issue oh I've seen this coming ok open an issue here how is it going how long does it take if the technical skills are going now they are going to say ok I know how to solve this issue I am going to submit a pass because I have learned how to manage the cost I am going to submit a pass and then really get accepted there is the previous model champion and you are thinking I need to attract people to my community to do things like that this is the typical contributor's panel people that came from marketing and sales this is what is called as marketing or satisfying how many people can you reach and then who are the buyers in this case who is the people that are alive to be a contributor so you can learn where the people are coming from how many people how many times are in Praxilla you learn how to do that from politics and that was all if I remember but that was not all you can test it live in coderon.io and that's this is the real oh my god you can go to coderon.io and get an overview of five organizations in github all of you have github accounts you can use your github account to get it and everything is based on one hundred percent of the open source so that was all from my side but not time for them but I am a great lady do you want more thank you that's it


Mother, is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's Father Knows Best, transcribed in Hollywood, starring Robert Young as father. A half-hour visit with your neighbors, the Andersons, brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House. The coffee that's always good to the last drop. In the third act of Romeo and Juliet, the fair miscapulet comes up with a dilly. Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound, she asks. You know what she meant? Don't judge a book by its cover, that's all. Well, in Springfield, in the White Frame House on Maple Street, the Andersons aren't quite as flowery as Juliet, but they're going to be given a treat just the same in the fine art of judging books and other things, like this. Margaret, I'm home! Margaret! What's going on in here? Didn't you hear me call? I'm sorry, dear. We didn't know you'd come in. Hi, Daddy. Hello. I've been standing in the hall for ten minutes, screaming my head off. Well, we seem to have a little problem. Father, I couldn't help it. Really, I couldn't. What did she do now? She's in love, Kathy. Mush, that's all it is. Just plain mush. Never mind, bud. Margaret, I may be a little dense, but since when does Betty, falling in love, constitute a problem? Father! She changes boyfriends like I change my socks. Jim, the problem is not Betty's new boyfriend. Well, Kathy just said... I said she was in love, and she is. Why don't you mind your own business? I do. I mind everybody's business. Mush, that's all it is. Mush. But if that's the most you can add to the general conversation. Well, holy cow, Dad. I'm hungry. Well, we'll have dinner a very few minutes, but not until your father knows what Betty has done. Done? You make it sound like I robbed a bank. Has she? Father. And stop saying father. Jumping creepers. That's better. Jim. Honey, give me the horrible details of Betty's latest crime, and let's eat. She invited the Van Norton's to Sunday dinner. Fine. Now if it's... Who? The Van Norton's. The Van Norton's? The Van Norton's. What did she do that for? I told you, Father. I couldn't help it. She thinks he's gorgeous. I do not. Oh, you told Jane Liggity was? I never did. Kathy? Oh, you did too. You took the phone into the hall closet, and you thought I couldn't hear. And you told Jane, Mother. All right, girls. That'll be enough. But, Father. I said that'll be enough. Daddy? Yes? She said he was gorgeous. Mush. That's all it is. Mush. Look, as long as we're getting into this thing, let's start from the beginning. Who is gorgeous? Roger Van Norton. Only I never said he was. She did too. Kathy, you stay out of this. Yes, Daddy. When I want you to tell me something, I'll ask you. Yes, Daddy. All right. But she did. Margaret. There's nothing very complicated about it, Jim. Roger Van Norton and Betty have been seeing quite a bit of one another at school. He has a convertible. Well, if it isn't complicated, what's the problem? It gets complicated later. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Betty invited Roger to dinner. Well, only because he said he thought it would be nice. I see. He's the subtle kind. He's a drip. Mother, if you don't make them stop. But when you have as much money as the Van Norton's, you can't be a drip. He's a rich drip. He is one of the nicest boys in the whole school. And he's coming to dinner. With his family. And his convertible. That's the part I don't understand. The convertible? The family. I don't understand any of it. It wasn't my idea, Father, about the family. He said he thought it would be nice. What would? If we met. I thought you knew him. She means the family's dear. Oh, not the convertibles. The convertible. That was a joke, Dopey. What was? What Dad said. It was? It was his kind of a joke. Oh. Well, now that that's all straightened out. May I ask just one more question? What's the problem? Father, we just told you. Look, let's make believe I just got back from a long trip into the heart of the African jungle. Jim. We haven't seen one another in almost eight years. And I say, what's the problem?  Hello, Daddy. Well, he said we hadn't seen him in eight years. Jim, it's really very simple. The whole problem is the rose chair in the living room. I think I'll go back to the jungle. Father, you've never seen the Van Norton's house. It has a swimming pool and a tennis court. I still don't see... And six bedrooms. What's that got to do with the rose chair in the living room? Being repaired, isn't it? They brought it back today. All right. If they didn't do a good job, make them do it over. Well, they did a wonderful job, dear. It looks just like new. It makes everything else look awful. Wait a minute. You mean because we have one chair recovered, we've got to have the whole house done over? Oh, no, dear. Wow. Just the living room. Now, just a minute. If Betty wants to invite the Van Norton's over for dinner, that's all right. But... I'm as broad-minded as anybody. Just because the Van Norton's are the richest people in Springfield, that doesn't mean they aren't as good as anyone else. They might very easily be. The doorbell rang. But when you tell me I've got to have the whole living room done over, well, that's carrying things a little too far. Jim. The doorbell rang. As far as I'm concerned, the living room looks fine. And if anybody thinks I'm going to change it, they've got another thing coming. The doorbell rang. But it just needs a little paint. But didn't you hear the doorbell? Sure. Well, what are you waiting for? Betty shook her head. Margaret, I don't know what's gotten into these children. I swear I don't. They don't even make sense. I didn't do anything. But see who's at the door. Why blame it on me? I didn't shake my head. It was Betty. Jim, I think there's something you ought to know. I think there are a lot of things I ought to know. Father, promise you won't make a scene. About what? The decorator. What decorator? The one who rang the bell. You sent for a decorator? Mom, it's Mr. Worthington. Oh, dear. Tell him we'll be right in. Tell him to go away. Jim, please. Honey, I told you in the very beginning... Betty, why don't you and Kathy go into the living room and entertain Mr. Worthington? But I want to tell Father... I'll tell your father everything he needs to know. Go ahead. Come on, Kathy. Why don't we have... Now... Margaret, in the first place... In the first place, Jim Anderson, you've got to realize that we have a definite obligation to our children. I never said that we didn't, but... And when the recognized social leaders of our town show an interest in our daughter, the very least we can do is make the best possible impression. Well, sure, but... For her sake. Margaret, if we've got to get new furniture and repaint the whole house every time we want to make a good impression... Have you ever said anything about new furniture? You said... And no one mentioned repainting the whole house. Then why did you call Worthington? He's the most expensive decorator in Springfield. He won't look at a job that's under $500. Well... You mean we're going to spend $500 on the living room? It shouldn't be much more than that. More! On one room? You have no idea how expensive good painters have become. Who's he going to hire, Michelangelo? Of course, if you don't want your daughter to meet the right sort of people... That isn't the point. I'm as good a father as anybody in Springfield. But $500 for one room? Why don't we do it ourselves? Jim, that's ridiculous, and you know it. Why is it? We can get a few cans of paint and a couple of brushes and have it finished in no time at all. What's ridiculous about that? But every time you've offered to paint anything in the past... This is different. We can all pitch in and help. $500. There isn't that much paint in the whole state. Oh, dear. Now I don't know what to do. Honey, please, it's a favor to me. Let's do it my way. Just this once. You won't get tired right in the middle of a wall. Of course not. You'll use just the colors I choose. I'll paint the room lavender and puse, if that's what you want. I still think we ought to let Mr. Worthington... Margaret, look. I won't even go into the office tomorrow. I'll buy the paint and some new brushes and I'll spend the whole day doing just what you want me to do. Well... All right, Jim. But remember, if you do one little thing... Margaret, so help me. When I'm finished, you'll be the happiest woman in Springfield. I hope so. Now, you'd better tell Mr. Worthington we've changed our minds. We've changed our minds. I never wanted him in the first place. Jim, if you're going to be difficult about it... Okay, if that's the way you feel. Mommy! Mr. Worthington says he has to talk to you about colors. Your father's going right in, aren't you, dear? Yes, dear. Into the Valley of Death, March the 600. Who? Never mind, dear. Your father's being funny. Again? I never saw it to fail. Anytime there's an unpleasant job, I have to do it. I never wanted the guy in the very beginning... Mother, did it work? Did he say he would? Your father starts painting in the morning.  Oh, it wasn't anything, really. But how did you do it? Last time, he swore he'd never paint another thing as long as he lived. Well, it's very simple, dear. You just use the same thing that wives have been using on husbands for thousands and thousands of years. Child psychology. Mother may well be the family genius, but there are times when the man of the house is well worth listening to. Yes, and when he says, Best coffee I ever tasted. Why, those words should warm your heart. Because when it comes to coffee, that husband of yours has a mighty important title. Yes, ma'am, he's the world's greatest coffee expert. Of course, you might call us experts, too. More families do enjoy our Maxwell House than any other brand. But when you pour the coffee, the expert with the final word, he's your husband. And tomorrow, if you'll serve him Maxwell House, we're sure he'll beam and say, Best coffee I ever tasted. In fact, if he doesn't, we'll give you your money back. We're that sure. You see, no other coffee has that wonderful good to the last drop flavor. Because no other coffee has our famous Maxwell House recipe, a recipe demanding certain special coffees blended just so. That's right, no coffee tastes like Maxwell House, because no coffee's made like Maxwell House. So tomorrow, get a pound of our coffee. Fill your husband's cup with Maxwell House. If he doesn't say, Best coffee ever, why, just send us the can and unused portion, and we'll gladly refund every penny you paid. Our address is right on every familiar blue tin. That's our story. Tomorrow, then, won't you serve your expert coffee with the world's most famous flavor? Serve your husband Maxwell House coffee. Always good to the last drop. There's an old Dutch proverb that says, Paint cost nothing, such are its preserving qualities. Well, that's a fine slogan for the people who sell the stuff, but they better not mention it to Jim Anderson. It's Sunday in Springfield, and paint is a pretty sore subject in the White Frame House on Maple Street. At any rate, it's going to be, very shortly, like this. All right, but shove the couch a little toward me. Okay, that's fine. Now, is that covered, Kathy? Yes, Daddy. How about the spot near the fireplace? We'll hang a picture over it. We used up all the pictures for the other spots. Well, we'll get another picture. Are there any left in your room, bud? Nope, on yours either. I don't know. How could one small child make such a large mess in such a short time? I don't think it looks bad. I kind of like it.  I didn't know it wasn't the same color paint. It's set green. Why didn't you just leave it the way it was? I don't know. I'll bet we've got more pictures in our living room than anybody in Springfield. When the Van Norten's get here, they won't know if this is the Anderson's or the American Museum of Art. Maybe Mommy won't notice it. Now, there's a brilliant thought. Maybe if we stand in the middle of the room and put lampshades over our heads, she won't notice us. Where are you going? To get a lampshade. Come back here.  Yes, Daddy. You know, Dad, I still think it doesn't look too bad. If you like pictures. I like pictures as well as anybody. But I still think we ought to be able to see the wall. Daddy. It's all right, kitten. I'll explain the whole thing to your mother. I better get out of here. You stay right where you are. But I just remembered a date I forgot. Well, forget you remembered it. Jim, we got the loveliest flowers. Oh, that's fine, dear. We're in this together and we'll stay in it together. Father. Uh, yes. Practically everything's in the living room. Back of you, Daddy. Please. Now no one's going to hurt you, Kathy. Jim, you have never seen such beautiful flowers in your gym. Now, now, just take it easy, honey. And I'll explain the whole thing. You see. But you better grab some of these before they... Uh, sit down, Betty, while I tell you what happened. You see. My living room. What have you done to my living room? Well, why don't we think of it as our living room and it won't hurt you? A half hour. I haven't been gone more than a half hour and look what you've done to this room. Oh, but how could you? Me? Just because you don't like Roger Van Norton. All I did was carry pictures and move furniture. Why blame it on me? Well, will someone please tell me the meaning of this art gallery? I was just trying to fix it, Mommy. She made a little smudge, Margaret. That's all she did. A smudge? With her basketball. So she got a can of paint to touch it up. And that made another smudge. You mean in back of each of those pictures is a smudge? Well, not exactly. They are drips. Well, you know what it means.  I know, honey, but we can't do it today. And I thought while the Van Norton's were here... We can't let them see this. Why, they think we were out of our minds. I've got news for you. They'd be right. I don't think it looks so bad. It's kind of cheerful. The only boy in the whole school with a convertible and you have to do this. Bud, push the couch back where it belongs. You won't like it, Mom. Why, uh... Why don't we just leave everything the way it is? And then tomorrow? There can't be a smudge that big. No, but... Well, you see, I didn't know Kathy had the paint can on the chair. Jim, you didn't. Of course not. I, uh... Stepped in it, that's all. But you see, when it tipped over... You mean it's all over the floor, right? Just under the couch, honey. But we can take care of that. Why didn't you hang some pictures on the ceiling? Because the paint didn't splash that high. Look, it's only on this one wall, Margaret, and if you'll just listen to reason... I've listened all I intend to listen. Kathy, take these flowers into the kitchen. Yes, Mommy. I just wanted to help. Bud, go up to the attic and get some more pictures. More? You'll find them in the box marked blankets. But, Mom, if we... And stop arguing. I wasn't arguing, but if you put any more pictures... Holy cow! Honey, don't you think we've got enough pictures now? If we put up any more... We've got to balance the ones you put up. As long as you've got them clear to the floor, we'll have to put them clear to the ceiling. But who looks at pictures up there? The same people who crawl on the floor to look at them down there. Honey, that's the way you want it. Mother, they're here! Oh, no, they can't be. Let's all hide in the cellar. Maybe they'll go away. What are we going to do? Jim, you've got to keep them out of here. Okay, where'd you put my shotgun? Jim! Will you please let them in? You just said to keep them out. Out of the living room. Oh, uh, how do I do that? Take them into the den. Take them anywhere. But don't let them in here. Okay, come on, Betty. Mother! I'll be in in just a few minutes. Father, what if they go right in? Very simple. We'll just hit them over the head with a meat cleaver. Father! All right, Betty. Let's, uh, smile. I wish I were dead. Well, hello! Hello, Mr. Anderson. Hello, Roger. Hi, Betty. Come on in. No sense standing out there in the cold. Well, Mr. Anderson, we feel this is quite an imposition. It's no such thing. Why, we've been looking forward to seeing you. Come on in, Roger. No one's gonna bite you. Hello, Mr. Anderson. Father, this is Roger.  Glad to know you, son. And I'm his old man. I suspected that, too. Well, now that we know who everybody is, let's go someplace and sit down. Just let me have your things, and we can all go into the den and be comfortable. Roger, why don't you help Mr. Anderson like a good boy? Mom. Oh, I keep forgetting he isn't a good boy anymore. He's a young man. Well, whatever it is, let's go sit down. Mr. Van Norton. Nilly, I told you, in the very beginning, I didn't want to wear these shoes. Please, D. Oh, they're friends.  Do you, Jim? No, not at all. My name's Jake. Jake? Well, if you want to be technical, it's Westbrook, Sylvester, Van Norton, the third. Horrible thing to hang on a kid, wasn't it? Everybody just calls me Jake. Okay, Jake. The den's right in here. My mother said she'd only be a moment. Oh, that's quite all right, dear. Oh, my feet are killing me. What seems to be the trouble? These shoes. Never had them on before. Well, sit down. Take it easy. Oh, that's a little better. Dad, for crying out loud. He thinks I'm going to disgrace him. Jake has such a lot of trouble with his feet. It isn't my feet. It's these shoes. Jim, tell me the truth. Would you have noticed if I'd been wearing my whole shoes? I don't think so. There. You see, Rog, I could have been comfortable all the time. But no, I had to wear my new shoes. We had to make a good impression. If they hurt, why don't you take them off? You mean you won't mind? Of course not. Jake. Well... Holy cow, Dad. Holy cow. Is he a holy cower? Never stops. Is yours? Chief stable boy. Oh, brother, does that feel good? Oh, Kathy. I'm fixing the flowers. Run upstairs and get my slippers for Mr. Van Norton. Okay. And put the light on under the coffee. Okey-doke. Jim, I love you like a brother. Dad, Mom says she'll be ready in a couple of minutes. Fine, bud. Oh, I don't think you've met my boy. Mr. Mrs. Van Norton, this is Holy Cow Junior. How are you, son? I'm pleased to meet you. And this is Roger. I know all about, bud. You hit 383 for Springfield High last year, didn't you? How'd you know that? Oh, I just happened to know it. He just happens to know everything that has anything to do with baseball. He does? Roger's quite a baseball player himself, you know. He is? Turned on a contract with the Dodgers last spring. He did? Not the Dodgers' debt. It was just a farm club. Holy cow. There you see. What did I tell you? Jim, we ought to form a club. The fathers who suffer from Holy Cow's incorporated. Holy cow. She would. Why didn't you tell me, Betty? I didn't know. Betty, while the men are talking, why don't we go inside and see if we can do anything for your mother? Oh, no. I mean, mother doesn't want us to. She doesn't want us to. Really, she doesn't. It's quite all right, Betty. Oh, are we all set, honey? Yes, dear. Everything's all ready. How do you do, Mrs. Van Norton? How do you do, Mrs. Van Norton? Mrs. Van Norton? Mrs. Amazon? And of course, this is Roger. Hello, Mrs. Anderson. Betty's told us all about you. She has? Well, it's awfully crowded in here, isn't it? Why don't we go into the living room? The living room? But you said... It's all right, Jim. And I'm sure we'll all be more comfortable. Well, it's all right with me. You have a lovely home, Mrs. Anderson, but we've seen of it. Well, thank you, Mrs. Van Norton. It's nothing pretentious, of course, but we love it. I like anything as long as I don't have to put those shoes back on. I hope you don't mind the smell of fresh paint, Mrs. Van Norton. You see, we've been doing a little redecorating. The living room isn't quite finished, but I'm sure you'll understand. Of course, dear. We've just been going through the same thing our... sales. Uh, nice-looking room, isn't it, Deli? Gosh. Oh, mother. Look, uh, Jake, as long as we're going to be friends, I might as well tell you... Mrs. Anderson, I'm going to ask you a very personal question, and I hope you won't be offended. Why, not at all. Have you ever heard of a decorator named Worthington? Well, yes. Matter of fact, he was here just a few nights ago. That's what I thought. But we felt that... Mrs. Anderson. Deli, it isn't important. It most certainly is. I paid Mr. Worthington $1,000 to decorate my living room. Well, that's very nice. And he did mine exactly like he did yours. Oh, no! This weekend, chances are you'll buy coffee for your family, and you'll look for one thing, flavor, the most in flavor for your money. So take home the one coffee famous for flavor above all others. Take home a pound of Maxwell House coffee. Then put it up to the world's greatest coffee expert. Yes, pour a cup of Maxwell House for your husband. He's the number one expert on coffee. When he smiles and says, best coffee ever, you'll know Maxwell House has the flavor. And you can count for yourself all the truly good cups of coffee you get from every pound.  Look for the friendly blue tin with the big white cup and drop. That's your sign of good coffee. Maxwell House coffee. Always good to the last drop. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Robert Young. Tonight, I've been asked to tell you something about the American economic system. And that's rather difficult because what can I tell you about a subject like that? You are the American economic system. You're the flesh and blood and bone of a country that works better, plays better, and lives better than any other country in the world today. Farmer, merchant, butcher, baker, we ask only that you appreciate your magnificent past and recognize the infinite possibilities of your future. Write to box 10, Times Square Station, New York City, for the free booklet, The Miracle of America. Learn how a great country can be made even greater by your cooperation. Thank you, and good night. At breakfast time, you don't have to say...  Just say... Hop along Cassidy is crazy about hot wheat meal. Just a little psychology.  Post-wheat meal is chuck full of solid whole wheat nourishment, has a wonderful nut-like flavor, and it cooks in just three and a half minutes. You'll see, you'll all agree, it's the best hot cereal you ever ate. Join us again next week when we'll be back with Father Knows Best, starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson, with Roy Bargy in the Maxwell House Orchestra, and yours truly Bill Forman. So until next Thursday, good night and good luck from the makers of Maxwell House, America's favorite brand of coffee, always good to the last drop. Father Knows Best was transcribed in Hollywood and written by Ed James. Now stay tuned in for Dragnet, which follows immediately over most of these stations. Yes, exciting and authentic Dragnet is next on NBC.


The command of the Russian army will redeploy some Russian troops from the front in Ukraine to defend Belgorod due to frequent attacks in Shelling. A source close to the Kremlin told Bloomberg about this. The Moscow Times reports that since the beginning of March, the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation has been subjected to regular Shelling and attacks by Sabotage and reconnaissance groups of Russian volunteers. At least 20 people were killed and about 100 were injured. The most intense impacts occurred in mid-March. On March 16, the city came under fire twice, and on March 14, three times. The publication notes that, despite the Shelling and missile danger, the mayor of Belgorod, Valentin Demidov, called on residents not to refuse to visit polling stations for the Russian presidential elections held on March 15 to 17. Earlier, the Comments portal reported that Ukraine will not conduct peace negotiations with Russia since the Russian Federation is a terrorist country, and terrorists are not talked to, they are destroyed, said NSDC Secretary Alexei Damolov. The NSDC Secretary added that all civilized countries of the world should, following Ukraine, recognize the Russian Federation as a terrorist country. What kind of peace negotiations are there with Russia if this country is an aggressor? This is a terrorist country. No one talks to terrorists in the modern world. They are simply taken and destroyed, Damolov said. In addition, the Comments portal reported that Polish President Andrei Dudas said that in the near future Russia could restore its military potential in order to attack NATO countries in 2026. The president of Poland believes that due to the threat from Russia, NATO should increase the required threshold for countries' defense spending from 2% to 3% of GDP.


Hello and welcome. I'm Chris. It's Chris with the K of films by Chris also with the k.com Should be a link in the description of my website be sure to check it out today. I'm just gonna talk about stuff in my thoughts and Talk about how I dislike most computer magazines Obviously most computer magazines you go. They're gonna be talking about Apple or Mac computers or iPhones or Android or windows and I really don't find missions But I feel the same about a lot of Linux related magazines as well And again, it kind of goes back to recently I talked about YouTubers that I like and how a lot of Linux YouTube videos are just reviews of different distros or Boring stuff I don't care about and I'm more interested in actual usage and coding and configuration stuff like that And I wish there were more magazines like that one magazine. I have subscribed to for years is the Linux journal and there are some you know People in there. There are some Articles that they go over bash scripts and stuff like that and I do enjoy that but I wish there was a magazine That and there might be that that mainly focuses on on code And so this is my idea of a magazine and I thought about doing this And you know if you guys are interested in helping you with this Let me know below in the comments because you know if we get 10 or 15 of us We could actually you know pop out some digital copy of this But I kind of picture it in a small format if you ever subscribe to the 2,600 magazine the hackers quarterly It's just a small little book that come came out quarterly comes out quarterly and You know has regular paper pages, but I kind of picture it in that format if it was physically printed But it's just code and that's all is you open it up and like it was a title maybe a quick description of what code does and then it would have the code and And maybe you know it would have you know a section where we have learned to bash scripts each month or quarter or however often this Magazine came out then maybe have a Python section where has some Python code and then maybe some C code And maybe even it has like a theme throughout it's like okay Here's a code on on creating a tic-tac-toe game here. It isn't bash here It isn't Python here. It is in C here It isn't Pearl and like you had different people write the code for different languages, but that's all it is It's a description on the page and it has the text of the code that if it's an individual format in copy But also at the end it has a little QR code that you can scan that we either be directly the text of that of the code Or at least a URL to where you can get the script So you can read through this and you can just look over and see how people do different things in different programming languages And again, maybe it could be the same code in different languages the same program in different languages You can see how different that can help you learn different programs Like oh, I'm familiar with bash and Python, but let's have a look at the JavaScript or You know the the C or C++ program and see oh, that's how they did that there, you know And I just think a magazine like that. I don't need the articles That's something I feel when it comes to magazine articles and I've written a couple of magazine articles here and there one or two for the links journal stuff and Quite a few it back in the day for the 2600 magazine But you know you have to fill You know two pages or three pages and actually I never really wrote an article for a lecture knowledge wrote little clip it clip It's I think they have posted stuff. I've said in there. I don't even remember But I just feel like a lot of it's filler I'm just talking to talk to fill things up rather than getting to the point where the magazine I'm seeing again description. This is a program that does this You know and this is the creator and hopefully you know the license would be a GP license or something similar But here is the code just just the code with with comments in it You know this line does this and you know maybe well well well Commented which is a hard thing for programmers to do but well commented so that people know what lines code do and again You can scan the QR code to get that code digitally or if the magazine would be completely digital You just copy and paste it from from the thing, but um What do you guys think when would you like to see a magazine like that? We'd be like to help create a magazine like that because I would I would think it'd be so cool. I mean again you get 15 people 10 or 15 people to work together to every three months each write a code then you know a script that's a page or too long and And throw it into a digital magazine that we can share I mean or do you think that's kind of silly like well? I can just go to a github or paste been to see that sort of thing It basically be like paste been in a digital format or in a in a in a magazine format or even a little booklet format But I would just so love like lots times when I'm looking through magazines again going It's like you're trying to fill the pages and that wouldn't be the point of a magazine like this But I if I pick up a Linux magazine I start flipping through and you know if same thing I do when I search for stuff and I go to like What's that website on wow? Website I go to all the time stack exchange. That's the name of the page, right? It's like I don't read what people write I go straight to the little code block This magazine would be nothing but code blocks and the same thing I go You know whether it be the Linux journal or whatever Linux magazine is out there I'm flipping if there isn't code on the page I'm usually not interested in and I just keep on flipping and I just go straight to the code That are close interesting if there's something in the code I don't understand but then I end up reading through a bunch of you know Just filler code filler words that are trying to fill up this magazine Which I get they have to fill the pages, you know, and the magazines are 50% Advertisements anyway, but I'm interested in the code Not you initially talking about the code unless you're explaining something important about the code But yeah comment below again, let me know What do you think about this idea? Do you think that would be cool? Would you like to see magazine or a little booklet like this? and Would you be interested in helping like in something like that again if I just get a handful of people, you know You sit down and you know 10 15 minutes write out a code and again It could be the magazine could be you know the same theme for every code or it could just be you know Hey, I felt like writing code that shows you how to you know scrape stuff from this particular web page or scrape things from YouTube and pull down videos although YouTube deal kind of Does that by default, you know more than one liner is an actual code. You know, maybe you know, not super long But basic little scripts What do you guys think about that? Let me know comment below and as always I hope that you have a great day


Think about this for a second exponential if you go up the curve and the exponential curve 30x from where we are now You know what you end up? one billion It's hard to imagine 40 years from now a world that's one billion times as far And you think if you have kids you gotta think about that We're going to live in a world where we have to reinvent we have to adapt and we have to protect What makes us human?


Good morning. Thank you for welcome to the third day of DevConf. My name is Imogen Floodmurphy and today we're going to be talking to you about Better Inclusion is a bigger piece of Gregal for everyone. We will talk about diversity, inclusion, agile, resiliency, neurodiversity and much more. As you can hopefully see there are three presenters today. My name as I've already said is Imogen Floodmurphy. I'm a manager within Red Hat's customer experience and engagement team. I also lead the D&I advisory group in Fornow and I will be moderating today. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the chat and we will try to get to them as we speak. Sarah. Thanks Imogen. My name is Sarah Finn and I'm a senior agile practitioner at Red Hat and I'm currently working with CPE teams, so the community platform engineering team, who are at the forefront of support for sentos and fedora communities and I also support the agile and devops community of practice within Red Hat as well. So creating space to allow reps from teams across Red Hat to come to our syncs to practice some techniques and tools and to help their teams. I'm absolutely delighted to be here today and I'm going to speak about inclusion in relation to agility and resilience. Over to you Aliska. Hello everyone my name is Alishka Manikawa. I work as a project manager at Red Hat Check. I'm located in Burnow. I'm passionate about D&I and most of all about neurodiversity. So I am representative for neurodiversity community for my location and recently I'm also a student of psychology and management too. Feel free to reach to me every time. You can see my email address here or we can chat if some time remains after this talk. Thank you. So here's the agenda, what we're going to be talking about today, starting by introducing the topic of inclusion, then moving on to neurodiversity, the actual mindset and resilience, and finally psychological safety and the business value of all of this. And before we dive into neurodiversity, resilience, agile and other terms, let's start with a little reminder of what inclusivity is. What does inclusivity actually look like? What does inclusion actually look like? Inclusion is embracing differences in people and perspectives so that we can all use our individual strengths to contribute our best. It's inviting everyone to bring their authentic selves to work every day, treating each other fairly and respectfully and recognizing that we all have something uniquely valuable to offer. The definition that we actually use for inclusion is embracing differences in people and perspectives so that we can all use our individual strengths to contribute our best. In regards to agility, inclusion is a vital component to the overall success of a project, be it within our everyday life, homeschooling or work life delivering a valuable product. Looking at our resilience, inclusion of others to support ourselves and build connections is key. Yeah, let me describe and explain as best as this picture. You can see a few circles demonstrating the differences between inclusion, exclusion, segregation, integration. We have a variety of colorful dots to see the differences here, to demonstrate the differences here. So exclusion on a left down shows how it could look in exclusive environment. All dots that are not the same green color are excluded are not part of the circle are outside of it around. Yeah, segregation, excuse me, segregation, look at the middle picture, there are two circles, one main with only green dots, and one small circle full of full of colors. So it's being separated from each other. This is great. I really like this illustration here, the differences between each. Just looking at this, what is the difference between inclusion and integration? Well, integration, it is pictured here as two close circles, small colorful circle is part of big circle, but not really a part, it is in there, but it's still kind of kind of separated, right? So inclusion at the top of the picture shows all colorful dots together in in one circle, cooperating, being together dots of whatever color in one circle to the difference. So the difference is that the inclusion truly is a mix. It's cooperating together. Yeah, integrated work place is, is a setting where neural are typical work alongside neuro typical, or whatever diversity we are talking about everyone is held to a standard set of working. Yeah, inclusion is the actual merging of all of it, of the needs with the belief that all people are different will learn differently and should have access to resources. So the workplace expectations are adjusted so that everyone has their needs met and everyone can do their best. Okay, that makes sense. And it's a really good distinction between the two. I wonder by integrating in an organization by integrating, do we feel that we feel like we're actually practicing inclusion, whether we might not be, but not know us? Oh, yeah, we are. And you're right. Yeah, we have some space for a few further steps. That's for sure. Okay. Next slide, please. Before I speak about neurodiversity and explain this term. Let me please refresh and explain the word diversity. As we touched by the inclusion here, I believe that most of us heard this word very many times. Diversity can be defined as the range of human differences that create our individual and shared experiences. And when we talk about diversity, we usually tend to think about gender, national origin, ethnicity, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. All of it definitely belongs under it, but diversity spans many more dimensions. Emo will talk about those in a moment. Physical and mental ability or attributes. So neurodiversity, all of it belongs to the list and much more for sure. So neurodiversity Next slide, please. Neurodiversity is the concept that the neurological differences between people should be respected and recognized. So it basically is one of the diversity perspective, as I already mentioned, only focus on the fact that each mind is different. Yeah, and instead of using terms with this, like dysfunction, disabilities, this orders, this term neurodiversity is enabling, it takes into account the neurological differences. It's not one size fits all. We're all different. And neurodiversity celebrates the difference. Yeah. It just refers to variation in the human brain regarding social ability, social ability, learning, attention, mood, and other mental function. Next slide. Not all minds are created equal. And that's okay. Maybe a little example would help with the perspective on neurodiversity. So few names of famous persons with some diagnosis, for example, Bill Gates has autism, John Chambers, so who's a former Cisco CEO has ADHD, and the list could surely continue. So why would neurodiversity matter? Yeah, for that reason, that not all minds are created equal, right? And the chemical balance in my brain is unique to me, as yours is unique to you.  Yeah, for example, dyslexia, autism and ADHD all result in the ability to see connections. Others cannot. Yeah, so this person can create a narrative set helps to simplify complex projects or tasks. And it's not only the condition we were born with it could include also situations happening around us like the recent situation with the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, for example, it affects us all a lot. And it could affect or challenge our mental health. Some of us might recently experienced a world more like neurodiverse person. So given given the recent situation now more than ever, we need to innovate and we need more allies, more understanding and educated people in this area, just the creative and diverse minds. I would like to also mention that neurodiversity is the idea that the neurological differences like autism and ADHD and the other result of a normal natural variation in the human, human genome. Yeah. What else? neurodiversity covers. In addition to addressing what makes us unique neurodiversity also addresses how we take care of ourselves. So based on these factors, these are also known like mental health or mental, mental wellness. Now, when I talk about what neurodiversity is, let me please let me tell you what neurodiversity is not. It's a very important part to know. It helps us understand this even better. So this is not a perspective. It's not an approach. It's not a belief or political position or paradigm. neurodiversity is a biological fact. I think that's another great distinction there. Let's go back. So definitely thanks so much for sharing that. That it's not, as you said, a perspective or a belief that is part of our makeup. Is there a biological fact? Thanks for that. So we just want to talk a little bit about what diversity is. There are different levels of diversity. I won't list everything that's written here. However, they are linked to identity, such as age, for example, thinking someone is too young to know something or too old to keep up with the latest trends. It could be upbringing, your native language, having not having English as your native language will impact you and your ability to interact. Socioeconomic Group, what financial resources did you have access to as a child or now? Organisational, where are you based within your organisation? What job do you do? How long have you been in your role? Company culture will also impact on the business outcomes that are listed here, such as a better understanding of our customers, creative leadership, a diverse workforce and important for every company, a strong financial performance. Yeah, I'd like to mention the best companies have realised neurodiversity is a competitive advantage like HPE, SAP, IBM or Microsoft, just for example. So there are surely much more of companies focusing that way already and it's just not about only the hiring initiative. Managers and associates needs to be equipped to collaborate with and lead in a way that is psychologically safe for people who see the world or experience the world differently. Okay, thanks for that, Leska. So let's jump in to the world of agility. Agility is the ability to adapt and respond to change quickly. We practice agility naturally every day by adapting to our changing environments. You might wake up one morning after a great night's sleep and are ready to take on your ever growing to-do list. But to discover that you're out of coffee, what would you do? You naturally practice agility and adapt in that moment. You may decide to try and manage without coffee for the morning and drink tea. But let's face it, that to-do list is going to be a little bit harder to tackle. Or you might decide to leave to the shops, resulting in you maybe have to do prioritise an item on that to-do list or move it to the next day. Having the ability to adapt and make the choices with the information we have comes naturally to us. And we always gain an opportunity to chalk down some lessons learned. So for example, doubling up on your coffee intake or your coffee shop during the week or building some wiggle room into your daily plans. So 2020 and 2021 has had us practicing agility on another level. This could be from building in time into your day for home schooling or checking in on family members to ensure that they are minding themselves and minding their health. We manage better when we include others in our plans. So reaching out maybe to a teacher for further insight into that maths problem that you might be having with your son or daughter or reaching out to siblings to help with the load of caring for your parents. We can have a greater impact together and even have some fun in the process. Aliska and I know I'd be really interested to hear how we had to adapt throughout last year or so. Well, I guess we all learned a lesson about that during 2020 and so on going. It was a year that challenged me quite a bit and made me realise how lucky I am in some areas. Yeah, for example, I was able to keep working from home. That's that's great. And also I had the option to adjust my living space for for my hobby. We build a pretty decent gym in the in the garage to keep exercising. So for me, I would usually travel back to the UK every couple of months I'd appear in the Czech Republic. But with COVID that just wasn't possible, not without spending weeks on ending quarantine. So I needed to find ways to recharge my batteries without travelling home to see my friends and family in London. Okay, that's great. You know, to hear how you had to adapt in the moment and to find ways of building in exercise at home and connecting with people differently. And so thanks so much for for sharing that. Okay, so let's take a deeper look into agility in the world of work. When we refer to agility at work, we refer to it as agile. You may be familiar with the term agile, or maybe if not familiar with the term agile, definitely probably with the terms scrum and kanban, which are agile frameworks. This is simply bringing the ability to practice agility into the workplace. So allowing us to quickly adapt and change based on the information that we have at hand. Agile frameworks, practices and tools are built around this and recognises the importance of information to deliver a valuable product or service to our users. These frameworks, tools and practices enable us to collaborate, communicate and gain feedback to fuel continuous improvement. There has been a recent shift over the last couple of years in work and organisations to spend just as much time supporting teams to embrace the agile mindset as it is to encourage them to experiment with using some frameworks and tools. So what we're trying to do is to tap into the right side of the brain, so our emotional and social side. They recognise that for us to change your ways of working to be more inclusive and collaborative, we need a lot more than just frameworks and processes. We need to spend time training our minds to be more open, curious, trusting and courageous to ensure our processes and frameworks are effective. So combining an agile mindset with these frameworks results in sharing information and collaborating together on new ideas to deliver the best value to the market and our communities. So we know the frameworks, we know the tools, the practices, but how do we suddenly start being agile? It's not as easy as following steps in a framework. It is a complete mindset shift that may take us a little bit out of our comfort zone. Building on our resilience can really help support you on this journey. Let's look at resilience. Resilience is the ability to redact openly in the face of adversity and change. A Greek philosopher once said, change is the only constant in life and how true you are. Change will happen and in our world today it's changing at a much faster pace. Constant change is the norm. A lot of the time we have very little control over that change, but what we can try and manage a little bit better is how we react to change in adversity. Not trying to control and stop the change, but becoming more open to explore the opportunities it may bring. Yeah, Sarah, would you please help me understand better why the word positively is crossed out? Yeah, no problem, Inesca. So I crossed that out and swapped in the term openly here. Sometimes there's a lot of pressure on people when change is on the horizon or asked to do or work in a different way or try out a new way of working. There could be pressure on us to accept that change as positively as we can. And we do try to do that, but I think it creates a barrier and it breaks down the reality of the actual situation that it can be a little bit unnerving, a little bit unsettling and to try new things. So I think a more a better term here is just to embrace a little bit more openly, feel it a bit more curious and inquisitive instead of positively. Yeah, thank you. I agree. I was asking about it because my thinking is that sometimes we just insist too much on positivity, like being positive, optimistic, it actually could cause more harm than good, I think, being ourselves and looking for brighter sides. Yes, but staying optimistic and positive all the time doesn't really seem to me like an healthy perspective or sometimes even an option. Absolutely, no problem. And sometimes it can actually be a barrier to change when we're told we need to react to it positively as well. So thanks for sharing that with us. I appreciate that. OK, next slide. So to trivially adopt an agile mindset, we need to build on our resilience to be ready for change, to be inclusive and to seek out the opportunity. Yeah, I really like that you mentioned the opportunity that awaits. Yeah, because with change comes opportunity. So it's trying to focus a little bit more on, again, if it is the term opportunity, like what can it bring? Who else can I work with? What can I learn? What can I help out with? And things like that, and trying to embrace the excitement even of change. Next slide. So let's look at resilience here and how we can spend time on building that to allow us to adapt a little bit better and become more open to change. So when I'm building a muscle, increasing your resilience takes time and effort, and it will look different for everyone. So I won't wake up today and say, today I'm going to be resilient, and my mindset is going to change like that. And that's it. No, unfortunately not. We need to work on that. We need to work on what that means to us. So what might mean, but I'm sure I've taken plenty of breaks throughout my day to allow me to decompress and digest, building some exercise, building time to get out for fresh air. And especially with COVID-19, we've been really restricted in what we can do there to help us decompress and to unwind. So we've had to become very creative in that. And it will look different for everyone. So for somebody it might be that they have a morning yoga session that sets them up for the day and they listen to a meditation at night to unwind. Or for somebody else it might be going for a walk during lunchtime and connecting with others through box sets of Netflix and things that they're watching as well. So it's really just trying to find what works for you and ensuring that you're spending enough time on prioritizing that to support yourself in it. Next slide. So these are the four cornerstones of building a resilience. First is to build your connections. So to ensure that you're reaching out to people. As I said earlier, working together is much better. It creates a connection. And we could actually have fun as well even when we're working to be able to reach out to your colleagues and to obviously work together on valuable pieces of work. But to enjoy that and get to know each other as much as you can. So you can do that to have a social sessions with them maybe pub quizzes, maybe having a celebration cause each quarter, whatever that might be. And also connecting with family members as well. Definitely ensure that you're building that in. Feed yourself healthy thoughts. So again, it's been quite challenging last year and this year being confined that sometimes we can spend a little bit too much time in our minds. And we might be in a, we're juggling a lot at home. We're juggling maybe looking after parents, maybe homeschooling, whatever that might be as well as our work, we might be self doubted having to look at the self doubt around things. So ensure that you're feeding yourself healthy thoughts knowing that you're doing really well and the situation that you're in and that what you can do every day is good enough. You're brilliant. I second to that. Just to mention the building the resilience could be different for everyone. As you already said, neuro typical or neuro atypical but it makes us no less valuable. That's it, exactly. And key as well is to have a purpose. So to know your why and to strive towards that every day. It doesn't necessarily need to be work-related. It can absolutely be on a personal level as well. But building small little goals that you feel you're achieving each day or each week to kind of help you on that journey. And last but definitely not least is wellness. So to ensure that you're minding your body and your mind. So as we all know, when showing we're having water, healthy food, obviously the odd little treats now and again, but ensure we're getting enough sleep, exercise and just minding ourselves in general and trying to prioritize our general well-being will support you on your resilience journey. So now I'm gonna hand you over to Emote who is gonna chat to you about how you can be more inclusive. And of course I forgot to unmute. So there are many ways to be more inclusive including creating opportunities for people to share and contribute. Valuing your contribution as well as that of others making sure that they are aware that you value that contribution. Being accepting of your own strengths and weaknesses and knowing when to ask for help. It is often especially difficult to ask for help. I think engineers have this built-in thing that we must fix this. We must know how to resolve this. And so we're less likely to ask for help. Viewing challenges and disagreements as opportunities to learn. You know, every, it's just a different point of view. And if you can learn from that you will grow as a person as a result. Acknowledging that change is constant as Sarah already mentioned. It's the only thing that stays the same. And looking for those opportunities to grow. Listen more. Listen to your teams. Listen to the people who perhaps don't often speak up. Just listen and listen to yourself. If you're tired, go to bed. Be kind to yourself. Actively advocate for inclusion. If you know that there is somebody who is a little more quiet in meetings or in your friendship group, ask their opinion and do it in a way that works for them. So if you know they don't wanna speak up in front of 10 people, ask them on a one-to-one. And last but by no means least, instill psychological safety. Make sure that the area is safe for people to speak up. And Alicia is going to talk us through what psychological safety is. Yeah, thank you, Imo. It was really nicely said, all of it. So psychological safety, the cornerstone. Psychological safety can be defined as being able to show and employ oneself without a fear of negative consequences of self-made status, career. It can be defined as a shared belief that the team or the environment is safe for interpersonal risk taking. And psychologically safe teams, team members feel accepted and respected. So they feel like they can express themselves, disagree, say no, be authentic, even make a mistake. Good news, it's within our control. So individual contribution matter very, very much. Your attitude can change a lot. As Imo mentioned in her previous slide, value contribution of others. For example, just for example. There are a few good questions we can ask ourselves within our teams, groups or communities, whatever environment we would like to apply it at. So do people feel comfortable saying no? Can meetings be declined or rescheduled without fear? These are just an example of the questions we can ask ourselves. Big part of psychological safety is to show vulnerability or fallibility, openly ask for feedback on how you deliver, gracefully admit when you're wrong or just admit when you're wrong, right? We ourselves can be the leading example and model behaviors we would like to see by assuming a good intent. So in addition to that, let's not jump to conclusion and blaming but ask a few more questions first. Being said, replace blame with curiosity. Engage in exploration together to find a solution. And please remember, safety looks different for everyone. And in light of COVID-19 as we touched it a few times here and restrictions related to the situation, more people than ever before might be experiencing life as a neurodiverse individual and the stigma and lack of safety may prevent them from seeking help. So I would like to encourage you to be open-minded and look out for each other despite most of us work from home. Rethink the way we work so that it is safer and more productive for all the team members whether biologically neurodiverse or just temporarily coping.  So one more thing, as statistics shows some interesting numbers like one in four people will report a mental condition in their lifetime. So it's not really that small number, right? Just one of the reasons why, one of the many reasons why psychological safety is important. Sarah? Thanks for that, Aliska. Really important points on psychological safety there and especially around the vulnerability. So if you get more leadership and senior leadership teams and managers asking more questions and showing their vulnerability hopefully that will ensure others will feel safe doing so as well. So let's look at what business value can inclusion deliver. So when we include others into our conversations it can limit group think. So it creates an opportunity for us to learn from a range of workplace skills. And obviously then that was going to transpire into more valuable conversations and more innovative ways of working and even on our solutions. When we recognize that our contribution is value and considered we also actively engage a little bit more. So if we see people actually listening and actioning some of what we're suggesting we're gonna keep suggesting things. We're gonna push the boat out and try new things. So it's ensuring that we keep that in place and inclusion really helps that. Yeah, our companies are embracing diversity of identities as Emo described to you previously. Neurodiverse employees for example bring a unique experience and skill sets to your environment. So neurodiverse individuals are and could be an untapped pool of talent and with just an example 80% of autistic people in Ireland are being unemployed but there is a huge resource to help fill the skills shortage gap especially in IT or finance sectors. Yeah, so neurodiverse companies have been proven to outthink and outperform some heterogeneous spaces. And one more thing to add people with dyslexia often have average or above average intelligence with excellent creative thinking skills. So they tend to have strong problem solving capabilities. This allows them to see variety of solutions to the problem or people with autism tend to excel in areas like a rule-based thinking. So many organizations are experiencing the benefits from including individuals with these strengths and I just touched this, but yeah, definitely limit the group think. Yeah, but by working with the diverse team employees have people in that groups have more opportunity to learn from a range of workplace skills. Absolutely, Liska. They're really, really great points there. So yeah, just touching base on some others. And so we've innovation and exploration so SOAR has barriers to contribution are removed. So as I said that previously, we start thinking outside the box and exploring a little bit more what we can do. The group feel more empowered. The organization of teams feel more empowered as an open culture and a happier workforce. And they take pride in the collaborative effort to deliver a valuable quality product or service. So they feel proud in their contribution or what the end product is. Thank you, Sarah. So we are coming to the end of our time and it is up to me to recap what we've spoken about today. Neurodiversity that is part of diversity and inclusion. Psychological safety is particularly important for neurodiverse individuals as it really is for everybody. And it's often hidden. It's often not immediately visible. You don't necessarily know if your colleague or your manager or your boss's boss's boss has neurodiverse issues. Agility, which is all about communication and collaboration and the continuous improvement both in our work and personal lives. Resilience, being open to new ideas and support, valuing the contribution from others and the importance of connection to everybody.  For those of you who don't know, who perhaps haven't been to the Czech Republic, Fregal is this sweet Czech pizza kind of thing that is really good. And I recommend everybody the next time that you are here to check this out, I will happily take you for Fregal as I'm sure will, Mishka. Yeah, yeah. But the main point is that with these tools, with these empowered teams, you end up with a happier workforce, better products and services and just a better quality of life. We have here, Mishka, do you want to... I'm sorry, I just wanted to jump in and say what you were about to say. Anyway, here you can see the list of references and the resources used for this presentation, for this talk, but more links and resources are on each slide. Feel free to explore all the mentioned topics further or get in touch. We would be happy to, all of us would be happy to discuss with you any further questions now or later. Thank you. Thank you very much all for your time this morning. We really appreciate you getting up early on a Saturday to listen to us. Thank you, Alishka and Sarah, for your insight and perspective on this. The slides will be available. We will be sharing them so that you can follow all those links that we just shared with you and as Alishka mentioned, feel free to reach out to any of us if you have any questions or just want to touch base on any of the topics that we've discussed today. So I think we have, we are right at the end of our time. So unfortunately, we won't be able to take any questions. There were a couple in chat and some conversation in the chat that we will be following up on. So thank you everybody for your time. That was great.


This is the SugarBeat Report, bringing you the latest information from NDSU throughout the SugarBeat growing season. SugarBeat growers have a tiny adversary in the form of the SugarBeat root maggot. This year's numbers continue to soar. Mark Botel, NDSU Extension entomologist, has the latest information concerning the SugarBeat maggot. Mark, last year growers faced a record high SugarBeat maggot population. What's the root maggot situation look like this year? All fly activity has increased a lot in recent days. Some of the worst hot spots we've recorded in our monitoring program include St. Thomas, Crystal, Auburn, Voss, Oakwood, Grand Forks, Thompson, and Reynolds in North Dakota, and Saban, Ada, Crookston, East Grand Forks, Donaldson, and Oslo in Minnesota. What's your model telling us right now? Have we reached peak fly? Yes, most areas should have reached peak by now, probably between June 3rd and 7th, and of course the insects development is impacted by heat units, so the Southern Valley typically peaks two to three days earlier than fields in the Northern Valley. Recent stormy weather that we've had and is in our forecast for the next couple of days has probably kept a lot of flies down and into the fields in which they overwintered, so activity is probably going to continue for a few more days with more flies pouring into fields over the next couple of days. With that in mind, what can growers do at this point? Well, it's going to be very important to be vigilant about monitoring fly presence in fields as well as monitoring the fly count web page online for the latest numbers on fly counts and those we update every Monday and Wednesday, Friday. And post emergence insecticides are still a possibility for hitting those hot spots. We've probably run out of time with post emergence granular insecticides, but liquid spray should work pretty well, especially if applied within two to three days. Ahead of peak fly is what we recommend, but they should still work pretty well applied within the next few days. Mark, is there anything else you'd like to add about the root maggot? Yes, I would just suggest that growers and crop advisers be very vigilant about monitoring fields at this point and the fly count website that I'd mentioned before over the next few days for potential upticks in fly activity and also be prepared and poised to quickly take action with insecticide applications if needed. Is there anything else going on with insect pests in the region? Well, I've had quite a few reports of cutworms in the Mindak growing area, so it's going to be important for the next couple of weeks to be monitoring fields for cutworm activity. Liquid sprayable insecticides, foliar applications of those materials should work pretty well. The pyrethroid insecticides are probably the best option at this point. We're working on experimentals, but that's a little ways off yet. Even applications of those foliar materials tend to work best. That's because cutworms are most active during overnight periods of the day of the 24-hour period when they're out feeding. A late afternoon to early evening application is going to work very well. I've also had reports of four-lined plant bugs showing up in the southern Minnesota growing area. They cause dark gray to almost black lesions on the leaves, and it's usually in patches. That injury is also patchy within the field. It's usually localized in long field margins, and they have a very wide host range, so they're not just going to be feeding on sugar beets. They feed on ornamental plants, even some tree species. I would say at this point injury in beet fields, and I should add too that they feed on a number of weed species. Injury in beet fields is not likely going to be sufficient to justify an insecticide application. If a producer chooses to do so, say they have significant injury, but it's more like a localized along the field margin or near a tree strip, a perimeter treatment should do a pretty good job in those localized areas. Thanks, Mark. Our guest has been Mark Botel, NDSU Extension Entomologist. This is the Sugar Beet Report, bringing you the latest information from NDSU throughout the Sugar Beet growing season.
