Thanks again everybody one more of those breaks coming up


Thank you, Githika, for coming and doing this session for us. I know we're completely out of time. I'll try to keep it short and quick. My first question is about your leadership. As a leader, what steps are you taking to win the digital transformation race? Okay. Firstly, good evening and thanks for the patience to stay on. I'm conscious that it's been a very, very long day. I loved your session. Thank you so much. And I think I would kind of build on that. Frankly, I'm not looking at it as a race or that I need to win as Hershey's. I think we all have to move together. That's really where the consumers are moving. And therefore it is important for us and Hershey's leadership teams to really say how do we harness the potential that digital really brings along. And that's how I look at it. For that, therefore, I think we do several things. The first one is just basic digital upskilling that is needed for everybody. And if you honestly ask me, maybe I'm the least digitally aware person in Hershey because everybody else, you know, the younger people are almost born into this era. So they understand it more. So we have this little bit of reverse mentoring going. We have very focused ways through which we really answer to, you know, what is needed for us to understand this channel better. So there is this Thurker Street courses that we have made people do, you know, of course free of cost. We have a lot of LinkedIn subscriptions.  I think the next thing is really earmark some amount of resources. And it's not just money. It's the time.  So, you know, sometimes if you don't review it often enough, it's not considered important. So therefore, are you putting the right resources, time, effort, energy, money behind that is another way we would like to be part of this digital transformation. And how is this journey different from an FMCG, for an FMCG brand? Yeah. So FMCG comes with its own challenges and we were discussing IBM earlier. I think FMCG has the challenge of also the freshness that come through. Yeah. And therefore, how do we harness technology in supply chain so that we can get the freshest raw material we can ensure our shelf life in the marketplace is not very dated. And therefore, I think those are important things that an FMCG needs to do, specifically a food FMCG, I would say. The other thing is genuinely the consumers have migrated. You know, even if I want to, I cannot kind of live in the whole, you know, as an ostrich. I have to be where my consumers are. And consumers are what we call cord cutters, you know. So the cable TV cord, they have cut that cord and they have moved to, you know, different kind of digital, they've moved to different media players. And therefore, we need to be where our consumers are. And therefore, as FMCG, because we need to remain top of mind and relevant to our consumers, it's not as if, you know, they will buy, you know, maybe a laptop once in a few years. They need to, every time they buy chocolates, you know, and we of course have many competitors who've been there for millions of years.  And therefore, how do I maintain that top of mind recall for our consumers is another very important thing in an FMCG. You can't afford to slacken off because then you will no longer be relevant. How do you benchmark your progress in digital transformation? So I think we are measuring it in two, three ways. The first one for us is actually manpower and how we better utilize. I'm using my words carefully. It is not sometimes digitalists and this entire journey is seen as cost-cutting because we will get rid of people. Hershey, we don't do that, yeah? We repurpose them into doing something different. So for example, you know, at one point in time, somebody was writing down the sales or taking out, you know, an extract of your daily sales report by region. That is now Power BI. We don't need somebody to do that. But that person is now doing something else around insight drink and therefore what is the next level? How can we use our Vizy Coolers better for example? So I think the way we measure digital transformation progress for us is how does it help in either simplifying the lives of my teams or ensuring we are able to reduce the grind of, you know, this everyday repetitive work and free up time to be able to do more insightful, more thinking, more value-added work. So yeah, so FTE repurposing is a big call-out. I think we also of course look at cost savings that come as a result of doing something well. So for example, e-claims, you know, are distributors and we have more than 500 distributors spread across the country. Their claims when they are stuck then we have to give them a certain percentage. I now, you know, kind of pay them claims in a day. So they're, you know, kind of ROI on my business goes up or continuous replenishment. You know, I sell them only as much as they are able to sell out, not a case more, not a case less. So very little kind of working capital is stuck. So there is savings, but savings is in the simplification of it, not in manpower reduction as sometimes unfortunately seen as. So yeah, that's how I would call measure of success. So your brand recently forded into the metaverse. So how do you think the FMCG industry can benefit from it? Yeah. So I think the important thing here is experimentation. And again, if there's one thing that you carry back from this is saying continue experimenting. Do I know if metaverse is a success and we've by the way called it Hersheyverse, whether Hersheyverse will be, it's an experiment. We've come out richer. We've done it for the Christmas time last year. We intend to do it again at similar times. You know, we've got so much insight about our consumers. What are they engaging with on that platform? It gives us an opportunity to really advertise on that platform, you know? So it's just, I mean, my brand is then accessible to frankly everybody across the globe where they're wanting to see it. So I do believe it has yielded tremendous, tremendous advantages. Am I calling it a full, what is success here? If the experimentation is how I would define success, we are very successful. We've had a lot of people come in during the time that we had the metaverse going on and therefore I would say continue the experimentation is how I would define it as my experiments with metaverse.   And you know, there's something very sweet about your personality. So we call Hershey the sweetest place on earth. But to be honest, I have done two decades of, you know, work with Unilever. I have done toilet cleaners and home cleaners and detergents. So frankly, this is where I felt absolutely at home doing that as well. So I have time for one last question. What are some of the unique challenges and opportunities you have encountered in leading Hershey's operations in India's dynamic and diverse market? I think firstly the unique challenge of Hershey's and of course all of us know it as a chocolate company is in India we didn't launch chocolates till 2020. That's 2020, you know. And we launched chocolates and then it shut down and COVID happened. So however, I am delighted to say that today Hershey's the biggest part of our turnover comes from chocolates. And that's not that the others are declining. Everything is growing, but chocolate is growing at such an exponential rate that today chocolate is the biggest part of the Hershey portfolio in India. But that was a unique challenge for us in India. It is now the number three market player in the premium chocolate. So you know, silk and Ferrero and the Nars. So yeah, I think it's a good space to be in. The other unique challenge for India has been the fact that it's a tropical country. It needs, you know, cooling solutions till the retail point, yeah? And we of course have, we want chocolates to melt in the mouth just not before they reach the mouth of the consumer. And therefore how do we ensure we've put in these little mini fridges, they're called vizikoolers at almost 100,000 retail stores. And then how do we use technology in order to harness the data? So I can on real time, I want to eventually move to saying this particular SKU got sold at this time. I haven't reached there just yet, but I think the unique challenge therefore in India, which Hershey globally never had to face was how do we ensure the purity of the vizikooler that it's there, you know, it's an asset that is the company's asset doesn't get lost. How do we use technology to say whether this is kind of delivering the ROI in that particular place or is it better kind of read put somewhere else. So unique challenges, but nothing that we believe is difficult. And I think the way we've looked at it is always saying that it's a challenge and therefore disperse us on to more action. I have 20, 19 seconds. Any big launches planned during festive season? Yes, every year. So Diwali, Raki, Valentine Day, frankly, even Halloween now is becoming an occasion in the Metro city. So we do have campaigns. We do have a separate gift, you know, kind of a gifting team that puts in different kinds of gifting options. So you should be seeing that in a store near you. And if you're not, feel free to call me and I will ensure it's seen at a store near you. But I know the time is up. However, I'm happy to take some audience questions just to make it worth your while for staying this long. So just in case you have any questions. Any questions from audiences? We have one here. Hello, thank you so much. Catherine Henry from Media Monks. My question for you is digital collectibles, digital assets, given the rich history and the variety of different products that you have, and they're so popular in game spaces like Roblox, is that something you're considering? So you, sorry, just to understand your question, but are you saying all the digital assets because they're popular in gaming? Are we harnessing that? Yes, you're obviously, you've got the Hershey space, but are you thinking about rolling out a separate line of digital assets or digital collectibles? Yeah. In the US, frankly, that is happening. And of course, Hershey in the US is the dominant chocolate brand. So it's a little bit more well-known. And therefore, we are doing a lot of these tie-ups. We're doing several things with some of these. Maybe I can't talk about just yet, but you will see them in the coming months. In India, like I said, we are still at the tip of the iceberg and we have so much more to go. So what we are doing is using digital assets but our own space, right? In fact, we have won almost some 20 awards this year around our digital campaigns, right? So different things that we are experimenting and doing. However, if you were to integrate in Roblox, not yet. And that is not at all in the plans for the now. But let's see, I'm hoping that we will one day be a dominant player in the Indian market and then do that. Thank you. Anyone else? We can take one more question? Yes, yes. There's one at the back. That's normally the sleepy corner, it's just at the end. Hi, I'm not going to take everyone's time. Firstly, I really enjoyed the fireside chat up till now, despite it being the dead end of the day. I just had one query, one question. You spoke about experimentation and success. How would you take experimentation, let's say experimentation for a company that does not have the budget to really experiment? And spend that much time.  But what about a company that doesn't have that financial resource? Good question, thank you for it. And frankly, a few years ago, had you asked me when I was steeped in the old school of marketing of saying that we are going to be TV-only, big burst, GRPs, every launch cost me X crores? I would have maybe given a different answer. Frankly, if you look around you now, there are so many companies, especially these startups that have built credible, large businesses with very little money because of digital. So think wow, shampoos, think a lot of these beauty brands, a lot of food brands that have actually been able to do it because of digital. Why? Because firstly, e-com as a platform, and whether it's QuickCommerce or regular Amazon Flipkart, is a very fair channel. You could be 75% share, you would still get one tile as the consumer is swiping. You could be 0.7% share, you would still get a tile. So it's a very fair channel. And if you believe that your brand has the where with all or the right offering and value to the consumers, now it actually enables us to be able to do it so effectively. Similarly, digital marketing is a lot, how do I say, can be cheaper than the old school GRP driven, put it on Sazbi, Kabhi, Bahuti kind of cereals, which are very expensive to run. You can now be more nimble. And therefore, the experimentation frankly gets there. So I would say, frankly, the smaller companies which have lesser money must experiment even more to see what is the right way where they can kind of get their consumers and move into large businesses. Frankly, I mean, I'm amazed at the amount that is happening these days. And it's also a little scary, especially in the US. We're seeing these prime, I don't know if any of you have heard about prime, this drink, I'd gone to the US. My kid said, you can't enter home till you get prime. Mr. Beast chocolates. I mean, they're just crazy amount of experimentation that is leading to people building credible large businesses, sure effort is through digital and nothing else in terms of mainstream.  Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to be here. And I'm sorry, I know we have extended it by almost an hour, maybe from the time that you were expecting to wrap this up, but thanks once again. And if there are any questions, we can chat outside. Thank you. Thanks, Gittika. It's always a pleasure to have you here.

Ac wedi dweud o'r hystidau, mae'r SEM, oherwydd y sefydliad cyfwyr sydd ymwyl, It was one of the first markets in Europe between ourselves and the Iberian Peninsula, the two of us were in competition. To see who could bring two markets together first. I think they beat us by a month or two but the idea of the single electricity market is a complete integration. This is not just about market coupling. The single electricity market has common governance right the way through to common regulation. We have a committee that make decisions jointly together, we have Alan Rhaeny here from the committee today. We make those decisions jointly so that the market is completely coupled. It's not... there's no sense of separation. The decisions are made jointly across the island. The challenges for us though is the design that we had. I'll go back a little to talk about some of the design elements. The design was specifically for the features of this island and the challenges we have on this island and doesn't easily fit within the target model. Dwi'n meddwl, ac yw'r consultaeth sydd yn ymgyrch yn gallu cymryd. If we look back now against what we were in 2007, we've had major new investments both in renewables and in wind. We're well on target for meeting the 2020 targets. That was the challenging challenges that were raised very recently. The major challenges clear in the networks.

As the consultation goes through it looks at the disparity and I'll talk a little about what the differences between our market and the sort of the standard European model and how we need to change our market. We talk about some of the features of why CEM developed the way it did. There's issues of market power. There's issues of the fact that generators in Ireland are actually quite large compared to the overall demand. So the process by which you decide to commit generators in a very large market where each of the generators are quite small, it's easy to do on price alone without looking at startup costs, no load costs. In the Irish market they are a key component of the market so this concept which is called unit commitment, this process of unit commitment is actually a major issue in a small market like Ireland and is made more challenging with renewables than you've heard from Daniela about the variability and this variability is something we're seeing probably ahead of most countries in Europe just because of the size and the level of renewables that we have already. And to some extent this is our opportunity as well as a challenge, our opportunity to try and solve the variability issue here in Ireland and it's not just about more flexible generation, it's also about trying to get demand participation. This is where the whole process of smart meters, smart grids, we need to try and change the paradigm for how the system is operated and this is a challenge that's going to be seen in many countries. I think Spain is also seeing some of these challenges earlier but between Spain and Ireland we're one of the few nations internationally that are seeing this level of renewables and the challenge of integrating renewables. But there's a great opportunity from an innovation point of view, from new stimulating new industry, finding cost effective solutions for solving that. This you've seen at a European level, that's my second slide Daniel, but the first slide here is just to talk about the differences and the similarities between the Irish market and the common European model. The first piece, the blue piece on the left hand side is fairly similar. We have interconnectors traded at the moment that's one interconnector, Moil connecting with GB. We'll have the east, west end in September. It's good to hear again that it's going to be in September. I'm glad to hear there'll be no delay. But certainly, and those at the moment are done by way of contracts, we also have a set of financial contracts, CFDs, and they very much set the price in the retail market. So any retailer going in to sell electricity will be very dependent on those medium to long term contracts, typically sort of annual or part annual contracts. But we don't have a day ahead market. We have an intraday market arriving at the end of this year as a result of changes in the code that will give us a number of gate closures rather than one gate closure, but that intraday market isn't there at the moment. The balancing mechanism is very much a purely TSO issue and the TSO will actually dispatch the system based on what it can dispatch, which may look quite different to the market schedule, which was done on the assumption that there is no network constraints, and the difference between them results in these very high costs to consumers constraint payments. And I'd mentioned earlier about this 20 million per annum for the north-south being late. That's an example of these constraint payments, inefficiencies from actual dispatch based on what should happen if the market was perfect. And the final thing, which is a key part of what we're going to have to change is in the Irish market, the price for electricity is not known until something like three days after the market has closed. Quite clearly this is totally different to the framework guidelines where it's an ex-anti market and the price is known in advance. So that's one of the key areas that we'll have to change our current market. This is a copy to some extent of the slide that Daniel did, so I'll fly through that, but it's again just showing where the common European markets going. This is another copy of your slide as well. I think it might have an earlier version. I don't have as much coupling as you do, but you can see the various markets and the development of the markets. I think it's worth noting though that because we have a mandatory pool system, it's very similar to the system that was in Great Britain until about 2001 before Nita and then it became Beta. But it's a mandatory pool, so every generator in the system must sell into the pool. They have no choice above 10 megawatts. That is done on a marginal basis. It's centrally dispatched and that sets the price every half hour. That price then is the price that are played by suppliers and again they must purchase from the pool. So this design, which is quite common in the US and obviously started off in Great Britain, is very different to the types of markets across the rest of Europe. Most of the European markets are a bilateral market where generators and suppliers contract with each other and then there's a balancing arrangement that sits around that. So the challenge I suppose at all of this is to bring this all together and to try and get it all up and running by 2014. There's a couple of other areas we'll talk about. This unit commitment and dispatch. There's a question in the Irish market about is this central unit commitment a key feature of the Irish market? Can we change it? Can we move to the alternative? And the alternative is a self commitment. Each generator decides how they want to run, how they want to bid in and part of this relates to the structure of the bids that they make into the market. In our market in the single electricity market it's what's called a complex bid. So people bid in not just the cost to run but also the cost to start up and the cost to run at no load, i.e. to be there but not to be generating. In a simple market what the bids are are simple bids where there's just a single price put in and it doesn't define the start up and no load cost to separate. The design was quite helpful one for unit commitment and two also to ensure that those bids are accurate. We have a very tightly managed market. The bid from each generator is actually controlled by the regulator and there's a market monitoring unit. There's a requirement in our current market that they must bid in short or marginal costs i.e. the running costs and the recovery of fixed costs come from a capacity payment. Again if we go back to the other markets the capacity payment has been fudged a little in terms of the central design. There's some discussion about capacity coming in in GB but it's an integral part of the Irish market. There was quite a bit of debate at the time when the SEM was being designed. Do you have volatile prices so the spot price can raise to very high prices at a time of shortfall? Or do you have a capacity payment and a sort of a less volatile energy price? The decision at the time of the SEM was that we would go for the ladder. But these questions are now back in the fray. This consultation raises some of these questions again and there's an element of going back and having a relook at the primary design principles. I've given you a table here and I don't intend to go through the various aspects of this table but to note this idea of the ex ante versus the ex post it's quite a major change in the market design. We'll also have to look at the cost of centralized systems. There's a cost of market participant systems. All of these will need to change dependent on the level of radical change that we make in the market. Again this sort of describes this pool that I mentioned earlier on where there's a mandatory pool where everyone sells into a common pool. Just to mention this for the Irish system we're talking about just over 2 billion euro per annum feed through this pool system. So even for a relatively small market like Ireland you can see we're talking about large amounts of money. So the systems that need to be in place here need to be extremely robust. Any chance of that failing and large amounts of money being lost would be inconstantable. So it's critical that these structures in the systems are robust and that they're not, that they will be very unlikely to fail. As you can see that's the new market design in terms of the European level is on the right hand side. This is just a list of countries that have the sort of the self commitment versus the central commitment. I won't again go through them all but I think it's generally fair to say that all the centralized ones are in the US, Bar Ireland and the island of Ireland and most of them at the European level are self commitment. Some of these issues I've already talked about in terms of the development of the market. I think it's worth just maybe talking about wind and the integration of wind in the market as well. It's quite important with the current system and maybe I'll just go back to this statistic because I think it brings it home. At the moment the Irish system is already seeing in a given half hour 50% of energy from wind. So this shows that when you're at a 15-20% on an annual average we're hitting the 50% in real time. At the moment the 50% is a limit. The great operator says that when we're at 50% we can't go beyond that. That's causing curtailment of generators which means that even though the wind's blowing, even though the wind generator is available, that wind generator is being told to turn down or turn off which is obviously has a negative effect from them, from a financing point of view and to the consumer is a cost why pay for something and you get nothing for it. Resolving that is a key challenge. There's a project being in place at the moment by the TSOs to try and resolve this to move from the 50% to the 75%. The timing on that is very important. Interconnectors help and Daniel you mentioned about interconnectors and the benefit. An interconnector when there's a high level of wind and low demand you get low prices. At low prices you should be exporting. If you're exporting you increase the demand and therefore the problem goes away. It has a major effect also on efficient use because it's extremely inefficient to have wind generators and not be using them properly. The design of the market has an effect on many different areas in terms of the efficiency of the system generally. Maybe I'll just finally finish up on the last, oh sorry, interconnection. I think it's worth mentioning about the opportunities in Ireland for future interconnection. I suppose if we exclude Iceland I think that the options for us are do we connect further to the Great Britain market or do we connect to France? I think some of the challenges in a small system like Ireland, the cost of interconnectors are a relatively large cost and I think there's a debate to be had about who pays for interconnectors. Do both ends of the interconnector pay or does only one end of the interconnector pay and I just throw that out for discussion but it's a useful one maybe to think about. I think there's also a question of diversity if we're closely coupled to the GB market. If the wind profile in Ireland is very similar to the wind profile in GB is there a sort of a diversity benefit by say connecting to France? But of course it's longer and further away so there's extra cost and that's something I know that Air Grid are doing some studies on this and it'll be great to see more of that before final decisions are made. I suppose if I give you one conclusion, there's a consultation out there last week, please read that consultation. Try and understand the issues that are somewhat difficult and can be quite technical but the implications they will have for this market are profound. If you engage early we're coming to this with an open mind, we genuinely don't have a view of how it will be done.  We'd like it to be efficient, we'd like it to be investment friendly but beyond those sort of general presumptions we're quite open on terms of the way it will be done and we're keen to hear everyone's view on it. Thanks very much.


Hello, Windows Server Hybrid Administrator. Welcome to this Microsoft Learn Training Module, Introduction to Group Policy. This module provides a general introduction to group policy and group policy objects, GPOs. This module also functions as preparation for objective domain 1, deploy and manage ADDS in on-premises, and cloud environments of the first Windows Server. Hybrid Administrator Associate Exam AZ800. The Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate Certification is Microsoft's successor to the Windows Server MCSE. You can follow along with the contents of this module on Microsoft Learn, at the address shown on the screen or listed in the video description. After completing this module, you'll be able to describe GPOs. Describe GPO scope and inheritance, describe domain-based GPOs, create and configure GPOs, explain GPO storage, and describe administrative templates and the central store. Since early versions of Windows Server, the Group Policy feature of Windows Operating Systems has provided an infrastructure with which administrators can define settings centrally and then deploy them to computers across their organizations. Group Policy is a framework in Windows Operating Systems with components that reside in Active Directory Domain Services, ADDS, on-domain controllers, and on each Windows Server and client. By using these components, you can manage configuration in an ADDS domain. You define group policy settings within a Group Policy Object, GPO. A GPO is an object that contains one or more policy settings that apply to one or more configuration settings for a user or a computer. Group Policy is a powerful administrative tool. You can use GPOs to push various settings to a large number of users and computers, because you can apply them to different levels from the local computer to domain. You also can focus these settings precisely. Primarily, you use Group Policy to configure settings that you do not want users to configure. Additionally, you can use Group Policy to standardize desktop environments on all computers in an organizational unit, OU, or in an entire organization. You also can use Group Policy to provide additional security to configure some advanced system settings and for other purposes, such as mapping network drives or connecting network printers. A Group Policy Object GPO is a collection of Group Policy settings. The most granular component of Group Policy is an Individual Policy setting. An Individual Policy setting defines a specific configuration, such as a policy setting that prevents a user from accessing registry editing tools. If you define that policy setting and then apply it to a user, that user will be unable to run tools such as Reggieedit.x. Some settings affect a user known as user configuration settings or user policies, and some affect the computer known as computer configuration settings or computer policies. Group Policy manages various policy settings and the Group Policy framework is extensible. You can manage almost any configurable setting with Group Policy. To define a policy setting, in the Group Policy Management Editor, locate the policy setting and then select Enter. The policy setting properties dialog box appears. Change the policy state to Enabled or Disabled. Most policy settings can have three states, not configured, enabled and disabled. If required, configure additional values and when complete, select OK. In a new GPO, every policy setting defaults to not configured. When you enable or disable a policy setting, Windows Server makes a change to the configuration of users and computers to which the GPO is applied. To create a new GPO in a domain, in Group Policy Management, right-click or access the context menu for the Group Policy Objects container and then select New. To modify the configuration settings in a GPO, right-click or access the context menu for the GPO and then select Edit. This opens the Group Policy Management Editor snap in. The Group Policy Management Editor displays all the policy settings that are available in a GPO in an organized hierarchy that begins with the division between computer settings and user settings. The computer configuration node and the user configuration node. GPOs display in a container named Group Policy Objects. The next two levels of the hierarchy are nodes named policies and preferences. Progressing through the hierarchy, the Group Policy Management Editor displays folders called nodes or policy setting groups. The policy settings are listed items within those folders. You can use a starter GPO as a template from which to create other GPOs within the Group Policy Management Console. Starter GPOs only have administrative template settings. You might use a starter GPO to provide a starting point to create new GPOs in your domain. The starter GPO might already have specific settings that are best practices for your environment. You can export starter GPOs to and import them from cabinetlarge.cab files to make distribution to other environments simple and efficient. The Group Policy Management Console stores starter GPOs in a folder called starter GPOs, which is in Sysvol. Sysvol is a shared folder on domain controllers. ADDS includes pre-configured starter GPOs for Windows client operating systems. These starter GPOs have administrative template settings that reflect best practices that Microsoft recommends for the configuration of the client environment. Policy settings in GPOs define configuration. However, you must specify the computers or users to which the GPO applies before the configuration changes and a GPO will affect computers or users in your organization. This is called scoping a GPO. The scope of a GPO is the collection of users and computers that will apply the settings in the GPO. You can use several methods to manage the scope of domain-based GPOs. The first is the GPO link. In ADDS, you can link GPOs to sites, domains, and OUs. The site, domain, or OU then becomes the maximum scope of the GPO. The configurations that the policy settings in the GPO specify will affect all computers and users within the site, domain, or OU, including those in child OUs. You can link a GPO to more than one domain, OU, or site. Linking GPOs to multiple sites in a multiple domain forest can introduce performance issues when applying the policy, and you should avoid linking GPOs to multiple sites in this situation. This is because in a multi-forest multiple site network, the GPOs are stored on the domain controllers in the domain where the GPOs were created. The consequence of this is that computers in other domains might need to traverse a slow, wide area network, WAN link, to obtain the GPOs. You can further narrow the scope of the GPO with security and WMI filters. Security filters specify security groups or individual user or computer objects that relate to a GPO's scope, but to which the GPO explicitly should or shouldn't apply. WMI filters specify a scope by using characteristics of a system, such as an operating system version or free disk space. Use security filters and WMI filters to narrow or specify the scope within the initial scope that the GPO link created. The GPOs that apply to a user, computer, or both don't apply all at once. GPOs apply in a particular order. Conflicting settings that process later might overwrite settings that process first. Group policy follows the following hierarchical processing order. First, local GPOs. Second, site linked GPOs. Third, domain linked GPOs. Fourth, OU linked GPOs. And final, child OU linked GPOs in group policy application. The default rule is that the last policy, the most specific policy applied, prevails. For example, a policy that restricts access to the control panel applied at the domain level could be reversed by a policy applied at the OU level for the objects contained in that particular OU. If you link several GPOs to an OU, their processing occurs in the order that the administrator specifies on the OU's linked group policy objects tab in the group policy management console. By default, processing is enabled for all GPO links. You can disable a container's GPO link to block the application of a GPO completely for a given domain or OU. For example, if you made a recent change to a GPO and it's causing production issues, you can disable the linker links until the issue resolves. Note that if the GPO is linked to other containers, they'll continue to process the GPO if their links are enabled. You also can disable the user or computer configuration of a particular GPO independently from either the user or computer. If one section of a policy is known to be empty, disabling the other section can speed up policy processing slightly. For example, if you have a policy that only delivers user desktop configuration, you could disable the computer section of the policy. You can configure a policy setting in more than one GPO, which might result in GPOs conflicting with each other. In this case, the precedence of the GPOs determines which policy setting the client applies. A GPO with higher precedence prevails over a GPO with lower precedence. Precedence is determined numerically. Each GPO has a precedence value, the lower the number, the higher the precedence. Therefore, a GPO that has a precedence of one prevails over all other GPOs. The default behavior of group policy is that GPOs linked to a higher level container are inherited by lower level containers. When a computer starts up or a user signs in, the group policy client extensions examines the location of the computer or user object in ADDS and evaluates the GPOs with scopes that include the computer or user. Then the client side extensions apply policy settings from these GPOs. Policies apply sequentially, beginning with policies that link to the site, followed by those that link to the domain, followed by those that link to OUs. This sequential application of GPOs creates an effect called policy inheritance. Policies are inherited, which means that the resultant set of policies for a user or computer will be the cumulative effect of site domain and OU policies. You can configure a domain or OU to prevent the inheritance of policy settings. This is known as blocking inheritance. To block inheritance, right click or access the context menu for the domain or OU in the group policy management consultory and then select block inheritance. The block inheritance option is a property of a container, so it blocks all group policy settings from GPOs that link to parents in the group policy hierarchy. Use the block inheritance option sparingly because blocking inheritance makes it more difficult to evaluate group policy precedence and inheritance. With security group filtering, you can carefully scope a GPO so that it applies to only the correct users and computers in the first place, making it generally unnecessary to use the block inheritance option. You can set a GPO link to be enforced. To enforce a GPO link, right click or access the context menu for the GPO link in the consultory and then select enforced from the shortcut menu. When you set a GPO link to enforced, the GPO takes the highest level of precedence. Policy settings in the GPO prevail over any conflicting policy settings in other GPOs. An enforced link applies to child containers even when those containers are set to block inheritance. The enforced option causes the policy to apply to all objects within its scope. Enforcement is useful when you must configure a GPO that defines a configuration that's mandated by your corporate IT security and usage policies. Therefore, you want to ensure that other GPOs that are linked to the same or lower levels don't override those settings. You can do this by enforcing the GPO's link. To facilitate evaluation of GPO precedence, you can simply select an OU or domain and then select the group policy inheritance tab. This tab displays the resulting precedence of GPOs, accounting for GPO link, link order inheritance blocking, and link enforcement. Note that this tool doesn't account for policies that are linked to a site for GPO security or WMI filtering. You can create domain-based GPOs in ADDS and store them on domain controllers. You can use these GPOs to manage configuration centrally for the domain's users and computers. When you install ADDS, Windows Server creates two default GPOs, default domain policy and default domain controllers policy. Note that Windows computers also have local GPOs which are primarily used when computers aren't connected to domain environments. The default domain policy GPO is linked to the domain and it applies to authenticated users. This GPO doesn't have any WMI filters, therefore it affects all users and computers in the domain. This GPO contains policy settings that specify password, account lockout, and Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol policies. These settings are of critical importance to the ADDS environment and thus make the default domain policy a critical component of group policy. You shouldn't add unrelated policy settings to this GPO. If you need to configure other settings to apply broadly in your domain, create additional GPOs that link to the domain. The default domain controllers policy GPO links to the OU of the domain controllers because computer accounts for domain controllers are kept exclusively in the domain controllers OU and other computer accounts should be kept in other OUs. This GPO affects only domain controllers or other computer objects that are in the domain controllers OU. You should modify GPOs linked to the domain controllers OU to implement your auditing policies and to assign user rights that are required on domain controllers. You manage GPOs by using the following tools, the group policy management console, the group policy management editor. You can also use Windows PowerShell commandlets to manage GPOs and their settings including the following. New GPO creates a new GPO, new GPO link. Links a GPO to a site domain or OU. Get GP inheritance gets group policy inheritance information for a specified domain or OU. Set GP inheritance blocks or unblocks inheritance for a specified domain or organizational unit. Get GPO, list one GPO or all the GPOs in a domain. There are two major categories of policy settings computer settings which are contained in the computer configuration node and user settings which are contained in the user configuration node. The computer configuration node contains the settings that apply to computers regardless of who logs on to them. Computer settings apply when the operating system starts during background refreshes and every 90 to 120 minutes thereafter. The user configuration node contains settings that apply when a user logs on to a computer during background refreshes and every 90 to 120 minutes thereafter. Within the computer configuration and user configuration nodes are the policies and preferences nodes. The policies nodes in computer configuration and user configuration have a hierarchy of folders that contain policy settings. Because there are thousands of settings the scope of this course doesn't include individual settings. However, it's worth reviewing the types of settings that you can configure. GPOs include a large number of security related settings that you can apply to both users and computers. For example, you can enforce settings for the domain password policy, for Windows Defender firewall, and you can configure auditing and other security settings. You also can configure full sets of user rights assignments. You can use group policy to provide a consistent desktop and application environment for all users in your organization. By using GPOs you can configure each setting that affects the representation of the user environment. You also can configure settings for some applications that support GPOs. With group policy you can deploy software to users and computers. You can use group policy to deploy all software that is available in the MSI format.  Whilst you can deploy software in this manner most organizations use other methods such as configuration manager and Intune. With the folder redirection option it is easier to back up users data files. By redirecting folders you also ensure that users have access to their data regardless of the computer to which they sign in. Additionally, you can centralize all users data to one place on a network server while still providing a user experience that is similar to storing these folders on their computers. For example, you can configure folder redirection to redirect users documents folders to a shared folder on a network server. By using group policy you can configure various network settings on client computers. For example, you can enforce settings for wireless networks to allow users to connect only to specific wi-fi network SSIDs and with predefined authentication and encryption settings. You also can deploy policies that apply to wired network settings and some Windows server roles use group policy to configure the client side of services such as direct access. Group policy inheritance, filters and exceptions are complex and it can often be difficult to determine which policy settings will apply. Resultant set of policy is the net effect of GPOs applied to a user or computer considering GPO links, exceptions such as enforced and block inheritance and the application of security and WMI filters. Resultant set of policy also is a collection of tools that you can use to evaluate model and troubleshoot the application of group policy settings. Resultant set of policy can query a local or remote computer and report the exact settings that apply to the computer and to any user who has logged on to the computer. Resultant set of policy also can model the policy settings that are anticipated to be applied to a user or computer under a variety of scenarios including moving the object between OUs or sites or changing the object's group membership. With these capabilities resultant set of policy can help you manage and troubleshoot conflicting policies. The following tools exist for performing resultant set of policy analysis, the group policy results wizard, the group policy modeling wizard, and GPO result.exe command line utility. Group policy settings present as GPOs in ADDS user interface tools but a GPO actually includes two components. These are the group policy container and the group policy template. The group policy objects container is located in active directory and it stores GPO metadata. It doesn't contain actual settings but information on when GPO was created, how many times user and computer settings were modified, GPO version and its GDAWID which is used to link group policy settings to a group policy template. The group policy template is a collection of files stored in the sysful of each domain controller in the percent system root percent sysfall domain policies GPO GWID path where GPO GWID is the globally unique identifier GWID of the group policy container. The group policy template contains the group policy settings similar to all ADDS objects each group policy container includes a GWID attribute that uniquely identifies the object within ADDS. When you change the settings of a GPO the changes are saved to the sysfall share by default the domain controller that holds the PDC emulator operations master role is used. Changes made are then replicated to other domain controllers by default when group policy refresh occurs the client side extensions apply settings in a GPO only if the GPO has been updated the group policy client can identify an updated GPO by its version number each GPO has a version number that increments each time you make a change the version number is stored as a group policy container attribute and in a text file group policy GPO.ini in the group policy template folder the group policy client knows the version number of each GPO it has previously applied if during the group policy refresh the group policy client discovers that the version number of the group policy container has changed windows server will inform the client side extensions that the GPO is updated and processing will occur the group policy container and the group policy template both replicate between all domain controllers in the local domain in ADDS however these two items use different replication mechanisms the group policy container in ADDS replicates by using the directory replication agent DRA the DRA uses a topology that the knowledge consistency checker generates which you can define or refine manually the result is that the group policy container replicates within seconds to all domain controllers in a site and replicates between sites based on your intersite replication configuration the group policy template in the sysval replicates by using the distributed file system replication DFSR because the group policy container and group policy template replicates separately it is possible for them to become out of sync for a brief time typically when this happens the group policy container will replicate to a domain controller first systems that obtained their ordered list of GPOs from that domain controller will identify the new group policy container those systems will then attempt to download the group policy template and they'll notice that the version numbers are not the same a policy processing error will record in the event logs if the reverse happens and the GPO replicates to a domain controller before the group policy container clients that obtain their ordered list of GPOs from that domain controller won't be notified of the new GPO until the group policy container has replicated administrative template files provide most of the available GPO settings which modify specific registry keys the use of administrative templates is known as a registry based policy because all the settings you configure in administrative templates result in changes to the registry for many apps using a registry based policy is the simplest and best way to support the centralized management of policy settings you can use administrative templates to control the environment of an operating system and the user experience there are two sets of administrative templates computer related settings and user related settings they have sub nodes that correspond to specific areas of the environment such as network system and windows components the settings in the computer section of the administrative templates node edit the Hickey underscore local underscore machine hive in the registry the settings in the user section of the administrative templates node edit the HKE underscore current underscore user hive in the registry some settings exist for both user and computer and some settings are available only to certain versions of windows operating systems for example you can apply several new settings only to windows 11 the administrative templates node has two sections the computer configuration sections and the user configuration settings in the case of conflicting settings the computer setting prevails computer configuration includes settings related to control panel network printers server start menu and taskbar system windows components and all settings user configuration includes settings related to control panel desktop network shared folders start menu and taskbar system windows components and all settings most of the nodes contain multiple sub folders that enable you to organize settings into logical groupings even with this organization finding the setting that you need might be challenging all the settings in the administrative templates node of a gpo are stored in files all currently supported operating systems store the settings in admx files these settings use a standards based xml file format known as admx files by default windows stores admx files in the windows policy definitions folder but you can store them in a central location the admx files are language neutral the plain language descriptions of the settings are not part of the admx files instead they're stored in language specific adml files this means that administrators can review the same gpo and observe the policy descriptions in their own language because they can each use their own language specific adml files the policy definitions folder stores adml files subfolders each language has its own folder for example the nus folder stores the english files and the es es folder stores the spanish files by default only the adml language files for the language of the installed operating system are present in domain based enterprises you can create a central store location for admx files which anyone with permissions to create or edit gpo's can access the group policy management editor automatically reads and displays administrative templates policy settings from admx files in the central store and then ignores the admx files stored locally if the domain controller or central store is not available the group policy management editor uses the local store the advantages of creating a central store are you ensure that whenever someone edits a gpo the settings in the administrative templates node are always the same when microsoft releases new administrative templates for new operating systems or apps such as office you only need to update the administrative templates files in one location and you must create the central store manually and then update it manually on a domain controller the domain controllers then use adds replication and dfs are to replicate the data to create a central store for admx and adml files create a folder and name it policy definitions in thedo fq dn sysval fq dn policies location where fq dn is the domain name for your adds domain an administrator must copy all files and subfolders of the policy definitions folder which on a windows computer resides in the windows folder the policy definitions folder stores all admx files and subfolders store adml files for all languages enabled on the client computer for example on a windows server computer that has english enabled cd windows policy definitions will contain the admx files and in the subfolder n us the adml files will contain english based descriptions for the settings defined in the admx files in

One person has been confirmed dead and many were injured in a windstorm which occurred on Tuesday night in the Agbashi community area of Domo Local Government area of Nassarwa State. Several houses and public infrastructure were also destroyed, leading to the displacement of thousands of people, while the acting chairman of Agbashi Development Association Anthony Oshinyeke confirmed the death of the person to our reporter. The State Commissioner of Humanitarian Affairs, Margaret Eliyo, said the level of destruction and number of persons and communities affected were yet to be sustained, adding that a team from the ministry is assessing the damage. Because of this community, it's really devastating to come by here and see the magnitude of these properties that has been affected by the windstorm. In terms of government coming in, that's why we are here for an assessment and afterwards we'll be able to key in to what is necessary to be done to the communities that is affected. And also, we're hoping that the federal government and their member will come and do their own need assessment by the time we submit our own to them because that's the effort we're going to do, so that we can come in and make this a quick speed because to be honest with you, until you get here, you'll actually see the damage that this community involved in.


During the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a significant decrease in the number of patients visiting emergency departments in Germany. This decrease can be attributed to both changes in disease burdened due to contact restrictions, as well as changes in utilisation behaviour of the population. In particular, the youngest age group, 0 to 19 years old, experienced the greatest decrease in visits, with a decrease of 39.4%. Additionally, the severity of illness among patients visiting emergency departments decreased significantly, with the least severe cases experiencing the smallest decrease. These findings suggest that the decrease in emergency department visits may not necessarily indicate a lack of access to care or a shift towards self-treatment, but rather a change in the population's perception of the need for emergency care. This article was authored by Madlène Schranz, T. Sonja Bohender, Tim O'Grayner and others.


What's up everyone it's your girl Kenzie here from Leighton Sports Cards and I'm ripping 2022 Panini Origins Football Hobby 16 box full case break number 27 Random Divisions.

That will do it for Origins. We've got our 16 box master case break of Playbook coming up. Thanks, everyone.


In cancer therapy, we know that cancers are driven by mutant genes that drive cancer cells to grow. In this case, we know that cervical cancer is driven by a virus, and this is a unique gene that drives the cancer. We've used CRISPR to target that gene, and that kills only the cancer cells, leaving normal cells untouched. Basically, we cured cancer in animal models entirely. So cancer cells or the tumours have been cleared 100% with 100% survival rates for every animal using this study. So what we did is we took human cancer cells and used them in our preclinical animal models. We gave them cancer. Then we refined and designed a specific treatment that targets certain genes within the DNA of that cancer cells. What CRISPR does is it targets the gene and it breaks it open and the body tries to repair it by adding a few extra letters. It's like misspelling a word in the spell check and no longer recognise that as a right word, the gene doesn't make any protein. The cell dies. So to our knowledge, this is the first example in the world of completely curing a cancer using CRISPR technology. Others have shown reductions, but this is the first complete cure. We're really excited. This study from Griffith University is the first to demonstrate successful treatment of metastatic cervical cancer using CRISPR gene editing. Our aim is to translate this exciting finding into the practical treatment for our women. To help achieve this, we have weekly meetings with these exceptional research scientists aiming to work out ways this can be done. We are hoping to see our treatments being a blow to human cervical cancer and other cancers, hopefully in the next five years. One of the main things to determine there is to make sure it's safe and effective and decide how many treatments we need to give a patient before they're cured of their cancer. If we are able to identify the driver genes that drive the cancer cells, regardless of the type of the cancer, this means the technology will be able to be utilised to treat that kind of cancer. There are labs all over the world who are developing CRISPR technology for cancers. CRISPR technology is really the next big thing in terms of gene therapy. Things which have a very poor survival rate now, this technology is going to revolutionise how we treat cancer and survival rates will improve dramatically in the next ten years.
