This was a seven-month-old child who presented with otomastoiditis on the right side. If we look at the brain images, we see that the patient has somewhat large vessels for age. And as we continue down inferiorly, we see the inflammation at his present superficial to the upper portion of the mastoid region. Here in the mastoid region, basically we see bilateral opacification on T2-wayed scan of the mastoid air cells. And on the right side, you also see the external auditory canal, which is opacified. On the post-gadolinium enhanced scan, you get a sense that the patient has meningeal enhancement in the posterior fossa, which is rather striking. And where one would expect to see the sigmoid sinus and distal transverse sinus, instead we see enhancing tissue. Here's the flow void on the left side, which is normal. On the right side, you have this opacification with enhancing matted tissue. And even as we go down into the sigmoid sinus region here, here's the normal sigmoid sinus leading into the jugular vein. I want to point this out only right side with my magic pen. What you're seeing is enhancement in the wall of the sigmoid sinus going into the jugular vein. But within the jugular vein, we're seeing low signal-intensity tissue and the sigmoid sinus as well. And this represents the thrombus, which is going from sigmoid sinus into the jugular vein at the skull base. If we continue to scroll down, we can see the jugular vein absence of a flow void. Here's the normal jugular vein and internal carotid artery. Here's the internal carotid artery and the jugular vein. And there is enhancing tissue within the carotid sheath on the right side associated with the thrombus vessel. So this is thrombophlebitis of the right internal jugular vein, secondary to odomastoiditis. Let me just point out anatomically the structures that we sometimes will refer to in the carotid sheath. And that is the overlying musculature. So this darker signal-intensity superficial to the carotid artery is the styloid musculature, which defines the post-styloid paraphernalia space, the carotid space from the pre-styloid paraphernalia space which has the fat within it. And this is part of this tissue here besides the inflammation is that same musculature, the styroglossus, the styloforengius, and the stylohyoid muscles. Let's just quickly look at the sagittal image because it will nicely demonstrate the inflamed jugular vein. This is the normal jugular, normal sigmoid sinus in jugular vein on the left side, on the right side. You have all this thickened tissue from the odomastoiditis and you have the clot within the sigmoid sinus going into the jugular vein braille.


Hello, thank you for joining me. It's day four of the IFA weekend in the north east. Here I am with my larder, joined with a couple of Wartburgs, the Kubel Wagon Trabant, another Wartburg. Here, it's a railway line. This is a tanfield railway. I've never been to this railway before, but I've always wanted to go there. It's famous for passing the Corsi Arch, the oldest railway arch in the world, so we're definitely going to go and walk up there, have a look at that later. The train is out at the moment. It's number 49, National Cold Board Hunslet Saddle Tank, so looking forward for a trip behind her. She's going to be a winning loco for me. There's also Ford Escort, but I don't think that's with us, but it makes a nice addition to the block, a bit of Ford Classic as well. So this is East Tanfield station here. So this is where we're going to catch the train. There's the carriage head just there, so really what I've got to do now is wait for the train to arrive. I won't go through the station building because there's a bit of a queue and I'll have to put my face covering on now, but I don't need to wear the face covering on the platform. I've been told. So this is East Tanfield station, so it is the terminus of the line. The line carries on for three miles up that way to Sunnyside. We'll be going as far as Andrew's House and then the line literally ends there just by the pylon. I'll just show you along the platform a few things. So just there we have the station building and there's some coal wagons. So back in the day when this was an industrial railway, you'd have seen trains of coal wagons like this and I did get some footage of number 49 shunting these coal wagons this morning. So I'll put that probably on a separate video of just number 49 in action. So what we're going to do now I'll just show you the ends of the platform. It's a bit like it reminds me of Foxfield Railway, a bit another colliery railway. Foxfield Railway is down in Staffordshire where we have also had IFA meetings. If you have a look at link on screen now you can see a link to that video and there's the carriage head with no carriages in because they're out. Railway goes that way. I'm just going to wait for the train to arrive now and enjoy a trip on the Townfield Railway. As you can see the trains arrived just sawed a loco run around. The funny thing is there's more of that steam engine in existence probably than there is my lard because there's over 70 of those Huns itself. I think this Zafra jet has just arrived as well and another warp work. So the train is here so we just have a quick look at the train. Here it is. It's quite a nice vehicle on the end. It's a northeastern railway direct to saloon. So I won't take you inside but I'll let you have a look through the window. Looks very nice this one. So that's on the back and there's almost like a little veranda here. So then here's another one of the carriages. There's the guard's compartment.  Yeah Thomas, Tank Engine pulls Annie and Clarabel. These carriages are a bit similar to that I think. And compartments, no corridors, no toilets but very nice for a little journey we've got today. Now if we come up here we saw a loco run around the train but here she is. That's your cold ward number 49 waiting to take us up to Andrew's house. Winning loco for me. Not having this loco for haulage before. New track as well so I'm really happy with that. One thing I'm just going to quickly show you about the loco is its number is 49. That's an actual cold ward number. Have a look here this is the works plate. So it's built by Robert Stevenson the Hawthorne in 1943 and that's the works number. So that's its official identity because there could be other loco's carrying the number 49. Charges either probably are. There'll only be one Robert Stevenson Hawthorne's loco with that number. So it's now time for me to board the train. Behind NCB number 49 this is the current end of the line. It does carry on further towards sunny side. The loco's flowing up impatiently and when I say the current end of the line I mean as far as passenger trains are going at the moment. So it does carry on further up towards sunny side. Also just over there is Mali Hill End instead where there's loads and loads of loco's. So what I'm going to do is we'll get back over the bridge. You get a complimentary thing on the train which I think is very nice of a railway. So I've got to go and get my complimentary drink before enjoying the ride back. Probably a bit less fresh because it's all downhill. I saw called the arts from the train. The plan is to walk up to call the arts when I've had the train ride. The loco's been blown off so I don't need to shout quite as much. So I'll go down there. There's a very good little footbridge here because the way it's shaped means it's very easy for anyone who wants to watch trains. You can effectively see how it's shaped like this. So I could stand here, film the loco and pan around. So I'm going to go down onto the station now and get my coffee before enjoying the journey back. This is called the art station. I thought they'd be here on the platform. There's the art. The railway is very kindly given us permission to have a look in the engine shed. So I just want to show you this. This is the main running line. Andrew's house station is the other side of the bridge because I said when we were at Andrew's house that I continued our way to Sunnyside to have a bit of work on the station at the moment. That's the reason why we didn't go that far. If you have a look here you might just be able to see some sleepers. There was one to flat crossing here where another line crossed on the level and it had in tail failure recently been used as a head shunt. They're now just doing a bit of track relaying so they've put temporarily a through running line but eventually they will put the flat crossing back there just to create a longer head shunt.  So I'm grateful to see that because there's quite a few industrial loco's probably would only see here so I'm just going to stop and put my face coming on then we're going to go inside. Right let's go in the shed. Quite a big carriage, much bigger than the ones out. It's a bow of a carriage rather than a four or six wheeler. It looks like it's probably one that would have taken minus to work because it's an NCB on it. Here we have one of the steam locomotives. This one's having some work done. One's built by Robert Stephen of Hawthorne's in Newcastle in 1948. We have Andrew Barclay steam engine. This one has a lot of these around but most of them are four wheel ones. This is the longer six wheel ones. These were built in Kilmarnock in Scotland as you can see it's number 1015, 1904. And this loco is carriage number number two. It's a bit more of a name number two but as I was saying there's so many other loco's number two. So if you want the actual identity, this here, this is a dirty at the works plate. I think our loco will come here tonight and on shed because the carriage there having some painted. I'll take you down here. So this is the loco we've just had a look at. Here we have another Hawthorne and Leslie steam locomotive. Go down the other side and get this mooring and get a bit of view of the loco's down there. There's one loco I'd always wanted to see. Read about it in magazines before and the reason I particularly wanted to see this loco is just because I really like the name of the loco. So I'll show you that. This is the one we just saw. So another industrial sales tank. For those of you who don't know much about railways the reason it's called a saddle tank is if you look this is the tank for the water and it sits on the boiler like a saddle so hence saddle tank. This is the loco here though. I was particularly excited to see. Twizzle. I just think that's such a cool name. I really like the name Twizzle for a loco and built by Robert Stephen Hawthorne in 1891. It's the oldest loco I've seen so far today. I haven't finished looking at it so I might find something older. We come up here get a good view of Twizzle and here we are by a locomotive called Stagshore. Now Stagshore's had a rather interesting life. I'll tell you in a moment. I'll just let you while we're here see the cab. Stagshore was built as an experimental form of steam loco that I believe used compressed steam and as a picture here I'll show you what she looked like originally. Yes that is the same locomotive. It's called Stagshore. If you have a look around the front you might just be able to see there's a stag on her funnel. What I'm going to do now I'm going to go outside have a look around and see what else we can find at Causey Arch Railway Station. That's more of a rail halt. I'm just deciding here with some coal wagons here the train just passed through and very nice grass platform. It's supposed to be one of the nicest peaceful railway stations I've ever been to but there's no facilities here but there's something very very unique something you will not see anywhere else called Causey Arch. The reason it's called Causey Arch is because just over there it's the oldest railway arch in the world. Now that obviously because it's the oldest it predates every other railway so of course it predates this railway. There used to be a horse drawn tramway for moving stone on minerals etc and this is its track bed and there's talk of recreating a section just so you can see what it would have been like and I'll be able to show you as we leave the station. This station has no road access. It's a little walk to the nearest road the car park is about a quarter of a mile away so yeah it's a pretty remote railway station but as I said it's unique so that is the old tramway track bed and this is the sort of wagons that would have been running nearly 300 years ago so before steam trains were invented steam locomotives were invented the horse would have pulled this along and really it was only controlled by this brake and tracks were probably wooden the wheels were certainly wooden but to get them over the gorge they built this the Causey Arch so we're going to walk over it and then we're going to find a way down into the gorge to walk under it so as we come across to here you can see now as we come out to this little lookout area we're pretty high up above the treetops so I'm going to walk over the arch I'm going to go down those steps take you under the arch it's um really I like it up here up in the trees on a nice hot bay you can hear the relaxing sound of the river below the last time I did a video a bit like this was um in Manchester when I went to Healydale Nature Reserve and I walked over an old railway viaduct but obviously newer than this one um have a look at link on screen now if you'd like to see that video that reminded me a bit of this but this and I said it is the oldest railway arch in the world and so only when you'll get underneath it see how impressive it is because obviously we can appreciate the height up here look down to the river below but the sheer scale of the arch can only really be appreciated from down below so I'm now following the old um tramway I'm not gonna walk along it I've got um I'm gonna go for another little walk and um I'll see more that might see more of the trains on the tanfield railway I did really enjoy my trip this morning on the tanfield railway it's a very attractive industrial railway so I get to hear as a junction to pass so the tramway would have carried on down there but I'm going to go down here not wild garlic growing have a this plant here looks like it's pre-passed itself by date but that's wild garlic you can pick it it's quite nice if you cook it into oh yeah there's a strong smell now of wild garlic that's kind of because I'm surrounded by it really strong garlicky smell not so nice to only say but if you pick it you can cook it pretty much so it can be quite nice so there's the arch there still we can't really see the arch itself because um there's some trees in the way so I need to go down these steps you start to see the sheer height of it as we go down to the river and then I've got to find a way back up the other side oh yeah now look at that there it is it's huge it's enormous that's um got to be one of the biggest circumferences of an arch I've ever seen it's pretty high I don't know about I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the highest arch I've ever seen but I don't know if I've seen an arch with such a large circumference it's just massive oh that is really really impressive and to think how old it is how you know it's been here the last 300 years and it was new horses were clipped over it pulling wagons right so we're right underneath it now the sign saying beware of the sudden drop we're still not down quite at the river level and here a waterfall directly down there and it's funny because it's the waterfall's really echoing I can actually hear the sound of water coming from up there but of course there is no water up there it's not raining it's like um you know a similar thing to the whispering gallery at St Paul's we can't try it I'm I reckon if I stood over there and whispered to someone standing there I reckon we'd hear each other quite clearly but it's I don't realize that can we stand underneath you realize that the sound of the waterfall below echoes around so I'm going to take you down to um a less interesting and much much more modern wooden bridge I suppose it's very old stone bridge but from that bridge we should get a view behind us of the cause the arch and there's probably then some steps to take me back up the other side so as we come down here here we have I said a newer not so exciting bridge oh here it's enormous so here we are down in the burn the bridge towering above is the cause the arch the world's oldest arch we was up there a moment ago I hope you enjoyed this video um thank you very much for watching thank you to the tanfield railway for a great day very much appreciated being able to go and have a look in the shed that was really nice and um the things get back to normal they'll be able to run a service where you get on and off at each station they'll start running to sunny side again it's a great day out to do come and visit the tanfield railway and as for the ifa events do look out for them there will be more of them in the future and I'll be making more videos like this with the ifa club other interest in railways other historic sites etc so hope you enjoyed this little series of the ifa event up in the northeast the road run the visit to beamish the railway museum at darlington thank you very much for watching there'll be a few more videos coming from the ifa event I've done on my own a few little places I've been to with my larder so do also look out for them but from cause the arch in county Durham the oldest railway arch in the world thank you very much for watching please do feel free to like subscribe and comment goodbye


Hey Virgo. Welcome back. Welcome back. Hey everybody. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. We're going to do your episode. Let's see what number are we on now for your love saga. Your love messages. Virgo sun, moon, rising, or Venus. Welcome everybody. Please do hit like, share, and subscribe. If you're new, welcome to my channel. I hope you enjoy. You guys, do you know I was just going to say happy birthday? Why would I, why would I, what's, I keep feeling like it's Virgo season. What the heck's going on? I don't even know. Listen, if you guys want to get personal readings from me, I'm going to start opening up more time slots for this week. So definitely click the link in the description box below and you can get your personal reading with me. Let me see what else to have to say. How would I stop talking? Let's get into your reading. Hope everybody's doing well. All right, let's see. Three of pentacles, 10 of cups, two of swords, nine of cups, page of wands, eight of wands. Whoa. Queen of pentacles. There you are. Four of swords and I'm like, okay, five of cups. All right, Virgo. Bottom of the deck here. Three of swords. Okay. Oh, somebody is really heartbroken. Now, this doesn't have to be in continuation of yesterday's reading. Okay, yesterday, I don't know, that was a pretty good reading, but somebody is definitely feeling very insecure because of either a break or a separation. I feel like there's a little bit of resentment, perhaps. Maybe it's you. It could be you or it could be somebody that you're connecting with here. Somebody put the kibosh on something. I don't ever use that word, but for some reason, something about there's restrictions or someone, Virgo, some of you looked at your person and said, I'm not interested in this victim card that you're playing. Goodbye. Some of you just stood up for yourselves and said, I'm not interested in, gosh, Virgo. I'm not interested in these poor me things.  You're the one that hurt me. Listen, you guys, I don't know what's going on, but something kind of feels like that. I hate when readings start off like this, but I just have to go the way it goes. It just feels like somebody that you were connecting with in the past maybe blamed you for why something didn't work out when actually that's not the case. Now give me just a second here because they're giving me a whole bunch of different messages coming in here. For others, I'm also getting this energy of it feels like somebody was self-sabotaging a connection or relationship and could not get themselves and had to end the relationship. Does that make any sense? Like somebody that you were connecting with was self-sabotaging and holding back and that and oh, there they go. Again, no, it does feel like it feels like the day before, like maybe there's a continuation of the day before this person was holding back. There was a fear of getting hurt. That's it. That's it. That's all they're telling me. All right, we're just going to leave that there. We're just going to leave that there. Let's take a look and see what your love messages are here. Okay, unrequited love. Okay, it feels like it's going that way. This one spirit wants to talk. All right, we need to talk heart to heart conversation. Honestly, discuss feelings with each other. Somebody here is coming in to talk to you. Oh, there was a control issue. Somebody was either very controlling or had a control issue or was very jealous or thought there was a third party thing. So they held back from communicating with you. They're holding back now from communicating because they have it in their head that you're with somebody else. That's what it is. And they think that you're not interested. Some of you might be saying, there's just nothing here between us. It's just not going to fly. Some of you might be in that position. All right, so let's take a look at your person here. Okay, because I feel like you guys are going to actually have a conversation. I feel like they want to talk. I feel like this person wants to talk and have a heart to heart and open up and talk about this relationship because they feel like you guys were building something. I don't know, Virgo, did you end something with them? Or were you forced to end the relationship? If you were forced to end because they were stalemating or ghosting you, then I know you're kind of like, this doesn't make any sense. But some of you got over this. Some of you got over this relationship. You cleared it out. You got rid of the energy.  They're not over you. They were still trying to build something here with you. This person, I feel wanted to be with you, but they kept blocking. Why were they stalemating? Why were they blocking? Maybe insecure, suspicious, always suspicious, always thinking something was going on or you were doing something like a five of cups. You didn't do anything here, Virgo. You did nothing wrong. This person was just suspicious and jealous and felt like you weren't interested in them. They made it all up in their head. Gosh, and some of you, I hear you just like, yep, and I left and I'm not dealing with that and I'm glad it's over. All right, let's see. Six of wands and 10 of swords. This person feels like, I feel like they're sad, but I feel like they're trying to make a decision. I feel like they feel like there's not enough here to keep it going, yet they still want to talk to you. They want to have this conversation with you, Virgo, about your relationship, about how they feel about you. They still feel, I do feel like some of you don't have feelings for this past person. Either you got over them or this is somebody new and it just didn't go deep enough and you just were like, well, it's whatever it's not meant to be. But it feels to me, whoever this person is, the only court card here is the Queen of Pentacles. So for some of you, it could be another Virgo, a Taurus or a Capricorn, but let me just take a look here. Let me see this heart to heart conversation. What is this heart to heart? Yeah, King of Pentacles. Some of you are connecting with either a Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn or this person comes across as being someone who is like all strictly business, almost feels like they have no heart. I mean, they do have a heart, but they just kind of don't wear it on their sleeve is how I feel.  This is not their normal way. The Wheel of Fortune. Yeah, they want things to change. They want to talk about making changes here in this relationship. Well, good for them.  And so there's a conversation about that. Okay, and this might be just a small, but this person feels betrayed because maybe you chose somebody else. Maybe you were forced to just let it go or it just wasn't going to work out. You guys, the unrequited love, it just wasn't going to work out here. But I feel like this person, 8 of 1s and the page of 1s, I feel like that's making them more competitive towards you. Now they want to fight for you because they feel like maybe there's somebody else in the picture, which six of 1s can be about, you know, like sportsmanship and winning, winning a trophy, being the winner. That could have a lot to do with it. But this doesn't really feel like an ego thing to me with this person. This feels like this person is like really sad. They're really missing you. It's truly like they're not showing that they're grieving or that they're missing you. They're not messaging you saying, I really miss you. I'm crying. Where are you? They're not giving you any emotion. They're blocking that. Okay. But this 9 of 1s and the 8 of 1s makes me feel like this person's really, they really are. They really are missing you. They really have their heart broken. And that, listen, I'm not trying to give you guilt here. You know, that's, it's just the messages that I'm picking up. It doesn't mean you need to contact them. It doesn't mean you need to do anything. It's we're just having a chat here, Virgo. That's all. I'm just reading some cards. That's it. And this is what I feel like is going on with this person.  I do feel like they're going to come in and talk to you. And because I feel like this person, you are like a wish come true for them here with the 9 of cups. This is the wish card. Very positive energy with this person. Now we have Leo. Yep, three of cups. They want to have a reunion. They want to come back your way. The wheel, the wheel can represent the wheels of the car, get things in motion, travel. They want to come talk to you. Definitely the 8 of 1s is travel. This is air travel fast. Okay, 7 of 1s here. Nothing's going to stop them. I love the cherry blossoms on this card. Isn't that pretty? Nothing's going to stop them. They're going to fight to get back to you. They want to talk to you. Have that conversation with you about their feelings, how they feel about you. Okay, the Empress and the Queen of Pentacles again. They see you.  They know that you are. They know who you are. Some of them might even know you're a Virgo, but they know, but they see you more as the Empress. They see you as, you know, whenever I have the Empress on top of the Queen of Pentacles, male or female, it doesn't matter. It feels to me like this person. They see your glow. They see your love, your level up. You know, I love doing readings where you guys have actually taken the time to like do you and take care of yourself. I mean, it's so inspiring and the four of swords and the four of Pentacles. Yeah, this person feels at peace. So it's kind of like, they definitely don't want to let you go, but that gives them a sense, gives them a sense of control. But I also feel because of five of cops is here again, that this person, it feels like this person is coming to terms with they can't control you. And I feel like control was an issue in this connection. I really do in the relationship or even if you just met this person, you could sense they had control issues and you were like, no, I'm not getting involved with that. Right? Whatever the thing is, I feel, I don't know if you said to this person, they're too controlling. They're too suspicious or jealous or what have you. But you got to know, like the four of swords comes up to the three of swords. So this is a card of healing. And what's happened in here, taking a look, this conversation that they're coming in to tell you that they want to tell you is that, yeah, I'm sorry, I think I do have control issues and I'm doing something about it. Right? I'm getting some healing. Four of swords is rest healing after the three of swords after like some heartbreak or an argument or something that might have happened. You know, this is a card of obsessive possession. Okay, maybe your person was possessive with you. And great. Okay, good. They're going to get some healing. They're grieving. Okay, great. They should be if they were trying to control you. Very, very bad, bad. So good for them. Okay. It still doesn't mean that you should do anything. Okay, let's get a couple of clarifiers here. What were they trying to control? What was this person trying to control? Oh, the eight of swords again. See, this person was very insecure. At least this is why they were doing it. This person controlled by being the victim. So I don't necessarily feel like they came right out and told you what to do, but they may have tried to make you feel guilty or they tried to play the victim card. You know, this is to me, this eight of swords is always like the damsel and distress on the tracks. Right? Somebody help me, help me, save me, save me. That's codependency right there. Big time. And that's a form of control. Silent treatment, ghosting is a form of control, passive aggressive behavior under and we had this conversation a couple of days, a couple readings ago. This kind of feels like a continuation of this. And I know some of you are like, I'm still not going back and that's fine. But this is basically what's happening here. This person must have had something happen.  This is a cup of faith and love and blessings. This is a very spiritual look at all the lotus. Okay. So some kind of blessing. Some of you have been praying for healing for this person, for yourselves. Well, guess what? There's the cup. As I always say, my cup is spilleth and runneth overeth. And this is like a new beginning is happening here. This is, I read this somewhere, the ace of cups, it said key developments that have a very strong emotional impact. All right. And that's what the ace of cups is, potential here. There's healing happening with this person. You know, do I think your person was the big end?  I don't see that. Unless I have like a king in reverse, which I do or a queen in reverse, which I don't, I feel like this person is just heavily damaged by something or someone. Like I said, maybe a mother or father or their environment had a heavy effect on them. And there's the devil. There you go. Okay. Well, for some, you know, so here's the thing. If you were dealing with someone that was like a narcissist or something, can they change? No. That will they love, you know, but can they change their behaviors? Yeah. Can you manipulate them easily? Because they're codependent. But you'll suffer too. If that's, I wouldn't recommend going down that road. I would just say keep it moving there. But for some, I don't really feel like that's what the case is. I feel like this person, everybody has moments of weakness. And when we're weak, that's when the devil finds little ways in, right?  Okay. And here's justice. Okay. So this person is now in this position. So we have Scorpio, no, Capricorn. I'm gonna sit Scorpio. Well, maybe some of you are connecting with Scorpio. We have Libra, Virgitaris, Capricorn. So it's doing the right thing. It's, it's, this is karma. So yeah, it kind of feels a little bit like a continuation somewhere. I guess you guys will know somehow some way. Let me see this unrequited love. Whose energy is this? Okay, the moon. Well, mostly because there was deception. How can we be on the same page or know there's attraction or anything when someone's deceiving us? Because the truth isn't, you know, that's wearing a false mask. The truth isn't coming out. Pisces and energy here. Two of cups. Okay. I feel like there was a desire here to come together, but that devil was, you know, the devil can come in forms like the devil card can come in forms of anxiety, suspicion. Suspicion is the work of the devil. You got to know that. Like if you are someone who is suspicious all the time, you got to cleanse that out because that is the work of the devil. Suspicion, anxiety. The devil is the father of lies. This person was infected by all that stuff. Okay. And listen, you guys, everybody has their moments. Everybody has their weak moments. And I feel like in this connection or in this relationship, the weak moments were jealousy and some of the other things that might have occurred, possessive behavior, that kind of stuff. It just gives me the creeps a little bit. Just gives me the creeps. All right. Let's see here. So I'm definitely feeling like there's a light at the end of the tunnel here between you and this person. And if you want to go for it, you know, as I say in my readings all the time, I'll never tell you what to do. All right. They're just throwing some cards. I was careless with you, but I'm still so attracted to you. Okay. Yeah, they were careless. They were careless with you, Virgil. Let's see. I wish I could take back my words. All right. Well, there might have been some harsh things said between the two of you that caused, you know, the three of swords can be an argument card. It doesn't always have to be a third party. It can be just things that are said that are just really harsh and not nice, like a, you know, because the sword is about communication, thoughts, words. Mostly I feel like this person thought that you had somebody else or they are thinking that or they always think that and that actually, the suspicion has caused some type of a break. I wish I could share my good news with you. Well, I guess the good news for them is like they wake up, like they finally see that there's no room for that double energy in a relationship. You don't know how hard it was to let you go. I don't know what to say. They really are struggling right now with what to say to you about this. There might be a level of shame included in this. Vulnerability can be completely open with this person. I feel like this is for them that they need to know.  We're waiting for the singles, Cal. But others might be like, yeah, I do really want to talk to my person. I want them to open up. I want us to heal. And, hey, no judgment. Everybody's got their own thing here, you know, and you want some of you do want them to be vulnerable and open up and tell you like what was going on, what happened so that there can be healing. Okay, so let's not judge everybody else. Everybody's got their love thing going on. There's something here for everyone. Let's see what else. Okay, sometimes I hear your voice in my head creepy, creepy. And I pretend that I pretend that I don't care. Okay, that's kind of sad. But, right, leap of faith. That was, was that yesterday? I feel like this person is going to take a leap of faith. Let's get some charms and open up and have that conversation with you. What am I forgetting? Oh, your advice. Okay, let's see. Margot's advice. Okay. Oh, there's your night of cups. Okay, well, so I feel like, and this is simply guidance and advice. You do what you want, but I feel like be open to receive the love that's coming in from this person. Rushing in with that cup. The healing. They're coming in. I want to heal this. I want to fix this. Your advice is to receive it or hear them out or hear what they have to say. Okay, now this is general. So apply it to you. Don't get mad at me. Apply it. If you've already had this conversation 100,000 times and nothing changes, then this is not for you.  Two nights. Okay. So if you receive this love that's coming in from this person, choose to respond with intellectual responses rather than emotional ones. Okay. And review your options carefully. You might be a bit defensive and you should be. You should this is kind of like on guard. Okay. They have to be vulnerable and open up and tell you everything that's going on. You don't have to apologize for the things that they've done. That's, they have to do that. Okay. But be kind of like clear cut with yourself, decisive, focused and stand your ground, like be on guard about what's coming in, about what they're bringing here to you. Have a, have a, they want to have a heart to heart with you. You might not be ready to open up your heart because there are going to be, these are going to be like sudden unexpected changes coming in here from this person. And you may need to like, okay, I got to sort this out here first. Yeah. See, four of cups. Some of you might be pay attention. If you're in different pay attention, this could be the opportunity for things to really get healed in this relationship. This might be the one magical opportunity. Make sure you're clear that this is what this is, because if you're not sure and you say, no, you're not doing it, you know, you might miss something great. But if you're 100% sure you shouldn't, and you know, then you shouldn't even be listening to this. Okay. But for others, make sure that you're clear. Okay, because there's a surprise.   And it's going to be a surprise. Some unexpected changes and surprise from this person, like a surprise apology, and really, not just words, but like backing it up. True love. This love is emotional, physical, and unconditional. Okay. Yeah, this person's like, still very obsessed with you. Again, they know they have an issue with that. I told you. And they're trying to heal that, because they have like some controlling, they have control issues. All right, let's see. Wow, sugar skull. I actually remembered it this time for October. Okay, something going on with the sugar skulls, maybe you're painting them, or you're putting them up around your house. For Dia Del Mertis, I can never say it, just sugar skulls. And then we've got like a footprint, doggy footprint here. How sweet. Oh my goodness, pretty white and purple unicorn. Wow, this is definitely going to feel like a unicorn moment with this person, the way they come in with this apology. I kind of feel like it's just going to be very unexpected. Even if it was just an argument and the things they said to you were very controlling and obsessive and mean and cruel, and they're regretting saying these things to you, I definitely feel this person is going to come in and try to like heal things that, you know, definitely try they know they can't take their words back. But I feel like there must have been an argument or break or something happened and you left, or you just some of you just decided this isn't going to work, you know, and you're moving on or, you know, or you were just forced to leave because it never you had something happen and then they just left you out in the cold there. And maybe you were just forced to leave. And this person I feel like kind of just thought maybe you went with someone else. But whatever happened, even if you didn't, and even if they just think it, now they're like, I really messed up.  You know how like they get you get that adrenaline when you have an argument, you think you're right.  But then after a while you like, now I feel maybe I shouldn't have said that, you know, that kind of thing. And I feel like that's what that person, that energy was like, Oh, I shouldn't have said that stuff. I've lost Virgo. Okay, so this is definitely going to be a unicorn moment. I don't know what's up with those puppy prints, but something here with puppy paw prints, our doggy prints. Maybe somebody has a tattoo, dog prints, puppy prints, that's pretty cute. I saw somebody they stamped their dog's paw print in the ink and then put it on the paper and then they got that tattooed. And then when they're, you know, their dog, I guess when their dog passed away or something. It's kind of kind of like they do it kids, they press their feet in the, in the mold and stuff or their hands in the mold or the feet on the birth certificate. I don't know. So let me do that with a dog, I guess. Are somebody's coloring sugar skulls or I'm not picking up a lot. That's really all I'm picking up with that paw print. So if you, they'll do a little interactive game here. If anybody here, because I know sometimes in the comments, like if you intuitively pick up anything with that paw print, definitely leave it in the comments. If that's resonating for you. I'm not picking anything else up, but that maybe somebody's pet has passed away or there's something about a pet. Okay. And it doesn't feel like any of that relates to the reading, but that's okay. All right. Let's go over to the singles. Hi, you guys. How is everybody? Hope you're doing well. Somebody commented on my channel that I need to make my videos shorter because I'm going on and on and on about the same thing and not to be, not to take it offensively, but because she really loves my readings. And I was like, that's not a backhanded compliment. Hello. I can't stand that. That is so passive aggressive.   That's an example of a backhanded compliment, you know, where they compliment and insult you at the same time. So I deleted her and I reported her spam and I blocked her. And if she shows up on my channel again, she's going to, she's not going to happen.  You know, you don't have to listen. How about this?  I do do them for 30 minutes and you can split it 15 minutes each. Like I'm going to change my entire channel and my entire style for every, like what, I'll be like a chameleon. If I, if I went with what everyone wanted, I'd be all over the place. Okay. I'm having a rant. I'm going to have my rant, you know, because I just think it's rude. I mean, it's one thing to give, to give constructive criticism and say, I like the way that you do that. Maybe try this, maybe try that.   All right, let's see. Okay. Ace of sorts. King cups. Oh boy. You know, when I look at this king of cups on here, I don't know. He creeps me out.  Right. Look at that face. I knew you can't see it because it's kind of blurred, but just looks like he's like the death stare. Anyway, Cancer Scorpio Pisces, Taurus. Okay, let me see here. So you've got a water sign coming in. But actually, this water sign is not looking at anyone. He's looking down at the water. He's in deep thought. This person is a deep thinker, very philosophical, speaks in parables. This person kind of has a way when they communicate. Um, they speak like very spiritual, a very spiritual way that they communicate, like when they talk to you, they might you'll meet this person and for some of you, this is going to be January of 2022. Okay, so just, you know, don't get upset. Just go enjoy the holidays. Okay. Um, I feel like this person will be coming in January 2022, but you might meet them like, um, I don't know, some of you spend the holiday at church or something. You might meet them there. Okay. If not, I know some of y'all are going to be going to church because you're going to meet your person. All right. So wait, let me take a look here. This person is either a professor or a teacher or they, they're like some kind of a pastor, some sort, very, very spiritual, very well educated. Okay. This is what I need you to know, very much single, but it's definitely someone who follows a rule of law. Do you know what I mean? Like morals, principles, that kind of stuff, very, um, victorious in their communication. So everything this person will say to you when you speak to them, it's all about your winner, you're amazing, you're blessed, you're like, they're very feeling, very emotional type of person and they just, they speak life and truth into people when they talk to them, very uplifting kind of an energy. There you go. There's the sun, positive energy, very uplifting, like I said. Okay. It's definitely a water sign, Cancer Scorpio Pisces. Oh, wow. Okay. The three of wands.  This person, this person is waiting on you. And so for those of you who are like, you're not going back to the past, I will say for some of you, if you, this could be your past person. Okay. I am going to throw that out there, but that's, I'm not going any further with that because you've already had your reading for the singles.  They're looking for their other half to make that four of wands. This person believes in traditional marriage, very responsible, some type of an energy person, you know, very much a leader, but they lead from behind. In other words, they instill self-esteem and positivity in people around them so that they empower people so that people become empowered to lead. Right. This person does not wish to take the lead. They would rather infuse joy and self-confidence in others. Okay. It's just their way. It's just they just have a way of making you feel like you're important. They do this with everybody. Okay. But it comes from, it doesn't come from a place of manipulation. It comes from spirit. It comes from like, like when you talk to this person, this person will tell you, Jesus loves you. You can do anything you want. This person will say, God's got your back.  You're worth all the gold in heaven. Like that's kind of how they are. Right. Even spiritual principles, like they could speak any, any religion, any, whatever religion or any spiritual principle whatsoever.  That's this person. Pretty amazing kind of a person. All emotions, all emotions, all watery, but stable, very stable, very grounded. January feels like a really important time. Some of you might work with this person, but this person's very consistent. You know, they work very hard. They believe in putting the effort in and being consistent. Like, I really like this person's energy for you, Virgo. Okay. And they have a lot of plans and ideas. I feel like you may meet them and they're in the process of either rebuilding their business or building a business. Yep. Ten of pentacles, a brick and mortar. Wow. So this person has like, oh, they could be building like a church or some sort or a place they speak. This is definitely some kind of a business, like a brick and mortar business. It's, they may be online. They may do business online, but now it's moving to an actual shop or a store in a town. Something nice. It could even be like, I just heard like, like a spiritual shop, you know, where you go in and buy candles and incense and books and there's yoga.  I'm feeling like, like a very, like a California Sunny, Sunnyvale. I heard, is there a Sunnyvale or Sunnyvale? I don't know if it's California or Sun, the city, Sun, Sun City or something. But it has like that vibe, you know, like free, free and hot and warm area. Okay. Let's get a couple more to see. Now, listen, there you go. That's what I was saying. This person wants to be married. This is somebody who lives near your home. They could be building their business in some city that's like in a sunny, hot place or the name Sun is in the city or the town, but this is someone near home. They're not going to be traveling. You're not going to be on the road and meet this person. They live where you live. Let's try one more. Okay. I have the five of wands. Okay. Oh yeah, four of sorts. This person, they're not, they want peace. This person does not really like drama.  They're not competitive. They would rather, they probably don't even place any kind of sports if it's a male or even female. They don't compete in anything.  This person is just really like relaxed, very calming, peaceful, very easygoing, someone that is just relaxing, someone that you could just be around and you just feel good around them, right? They don't start trouble. They're praying for people who start trouble. Look, people, everyone around them in their life or in the world that has conflict or challenges that your person's like laying down on the mat praying that the world will heal and everybody get better and I'd like to give the world a coke and keep you satisfied. Is that the, is that the song? That just, where did that come from? Oh my God. Okay. That was, you know what you guys? That database. I'm not kidding. That, I just pulled that out of, I don't even know. I know some of you are young and you're like, what is that song? Oh, trust me. Look it up. Google it. That's an old commercial. I'd like to give the world a coke and keep it. I can't remember the words, but that's your person.  Let's just be happy. All right, we're go. You're going to meet this person. If you haven't already met them, some of you I know you're like, I already know who that is. Which is cool. Gosh, sometimes these readings, I'll tell you what. So I'm going to leave you reading there because oh my gosh, it's getting too long. I'm just kidding. I couldn't care less. I will see you guys tomorrow, obviously, and I didn't get around to today. I didn't have time to choose the moderator. So hopefully I'll be able to do that tomorrow, but definitely be before the first. All right, you guys, thanks for being here. Don't forget to hit like, share. You don't have to hit share. Share if you want, but definitely like and subscribe. We'll see if we can't get to 20,000 subscribers by the end of this month. That would be really, really awesome. So please do share it. Let everybody know all your Virgo friends and tell them to come and join in the chat. And yeah, that's it, you guys. All right, love you. See you tomorrow. Bye.


Hello and good morning everyone. Yeah, we are excited to tell you more about our cloud native journey So it's fantastic to be in this lovely city Amsterdam and after this very inspiring lightnings talks Alessio and I looking forward for an amazing day to share you our experience and cloud native journey We did so far at Swiss gum So I'm Josh Hiller and I'm Product owner at Swiss gum and I'm very passionate about DevOps and bringing together people and ideas to build innovative solutions and with me is Yeah, I'm anti-alessio senior DevOps engineer at Swiss gum my first time at good one But I hope I will be able to give you some technical details on how we try to move that from Spreadsheet learning escort. So let's get it started So, yeah back to the title. So first we want to explain. Oh, no What's that? Oh, no, my teammate put me on the On the on the call service for our 5G core. So now dev Ops Jenny is calling me. So I will take the call Sorry, I I missed it. So Yeah, Alessio will explain you more about What's going on actually What's going on here is that someone by mistake probably deleted CC CC RC, which is our NRF function, I don't Cannot Here maybe yes, as you can see here, there is a CC RC namespaces that was created lately in three in three minutes, which means that it was been deleted and now it's back alive This was on our own permits Infrastructure and now if I managed to find my mouse Yes, you will see that it's exactly the same situation here for The NRF in AWS cluster we have so we have a freshly created namespaces Thanks to our automation We don't have to worry about that and we can continue with our talk and we will see at the end What's the result? So back to you Josh Yeah, so why we are doing this So first we really want to improve our time to market to build new services for our customer and as well we want to benefit of To benefit of cloud elasticity so we can build our Telecover cloud on different clouds on public cloud private cloud With this we also want to increase or improve our innovation to build more Reliable services that they can operate our services at scale But all this new Technology is is arriving and we need the skills really to be able to manage and build this automation So for this we have our journey from telco to tecco and there we have four pillars So one is really about simplicity. So we so telco Infrastructure or services are increasing in complexity. So we really need to be able to simplify to be able to build new services or products Fast and get them out to our customer. Then the next pillar is cloud nativeness. So it's not about religion It's really about sustainable Operational benefits we want to achieve with the elasticity of cloud and for this we also really need the automation There yeah, we cannot use any more spreadsheet. We need to have everything as code So we have it described in our repository and we can push it to the different infrastructure and To do this we also need to change how we work So it's not enough to be able that Someone just knows about a certain capability and the next person knows about the next capability So we really need to work together to be able to make this automation work So how we do this? So first we have one backlog for the whole 5G core we built at Swisscom and there it really helps to prioritize and as well to to share the knowledge between all the different teams and We really encourage the people to work on tasks of other teams and share Their knowledge so really a boundary less Collaboration as well. We really take together networking engineers Kubernetes experts and application specialists to build this new 5G 40 core together and We we we start to To experiment way faster, so we test something we fail and then yeah We we try it and with another solution So we really try to rapidly find new solution for the problems we are facing and The last point is really we have a close collaboration with our vendor So there we can give them fast feedback and push them in in the right direction to build more cloud native workloads With this I want now to go more into the technical detail so to make all this work and be able to Spend more time building new products or service for our customer We really need to have the end-to-end automation. So we don't need to spend our time on tedious repetitive work anymore So to give us give you a short introduction on our automation pipeline So first there is an overarching pipeline today We use Jenkins for that and then we have a few sub pipelines triggering different functionalities so we get the package from the software packages from our vendor To our software gateway from there we use the sourcing pipeline To check this and monitor if there is any new software take it if needed decompose it push it to our art Artifactory all the artifacts the helm charts and the images and Then we also do security scan so we get alarms if there is any vulnerability in this software We receive from our vendors in the end and then the most important thing our DevOps team Which? Manage everything as code in our git repository. So our full service is fully described in the git nowhere else and then we have our Different clouds we have a public cloud private cloud and there we have our Kubernetes Cluster and we use of an operator called flux to go to git read the description What to deploy then go to the Artifactory to get the helm charts the image repo and then synchronize this to the Kubernetes cluster and with this then we fully automatically can deploy our 5G 4G core Then if a CNF is deployed it will notify that the overarching pipeline and will trigger some post deployment step or Then also the configuration the business logic of the CNF also this ansible is fetching this configuration from git and then pushing this over net conf to the different CNF's in the end and As well then we have additional pipelines to trigger an element Manager or to configure an element manager a security manager to to know about the new CNF which was deployed to be able to communicate with it and get the information needed for their capabilities and Then really one of the most important part is our testing pipeline there We have different tools we can trigger and they're like an example chaos testing which was mentioned before from litmus so there we can trigger this after a upgrade and after a Config change as well. We do this continuously testing. We will show you later and Do this to different CNF's or as a system under test or as an end-to-end test So and they're also very important is our observability capability where we get all the metrics the locks We have as well a dedicated cost a cluster for the long-term storage where we store all our Data and this cluster is as well managed by the whole pipeline and then we use our internal Monitoring as a service to create the dashboards to and as well to create the alarms Unfortunately, we were not able to hear it before but that would be obstiny calling me Yeah, that the namespace of the posts and our apps got deleted with this. I would like to hand over to Alessio Thank you, Josh. Thank you for the great introduction I would like now to go to some more technical details about the git repositories We have and how we manage them the first one I would like to talk about is I pillow level design repository Which is one of the milestone change we lately introduced It's an unseable inventory where we store all the peer-related Informations for all the application infrastructure and all the tools we use to manage our 5g core It's really what enabled us to Further automate everything else. So as you can see in the left side, we have The unseable inventory with us, which are the Kubernetes clusters we manage that are divided in groups Different groups regarding their characteristics on the right side instead you can see an example of how we store the parameters So it's a plain YAML file with a hierarchical structure And it's as you can imagine far away from what we were used in the past with spreadsheets Where you have a spreadsheet in somewhere in SharePoint with a freestyle structure Everyone can go there modified it Now if this one if the these parameters are starting it you have a centralized way you have a peer review process to introduce changes and it's the only and unique place from where you get Parameters the way you can get them is Described at the bottom of the slide. So if you are within an Ansible playbook or a Jinja template is natively Supported with a path and the name of the parameter you look for and it's as well Quite easy for a generic script like for example Python or whatever you can use the Ansible inventory command piped into a jq o parser and use the path and the variable name to get The value you look for this is what we do not only for the IP related parameters But for all the parameters of application and infrastructure we manage as I will show later in the next slides Let me now go into some more details about the code base for our CNS as you can see from the top right corner, we have Actually at that moment one repository for each CNF we manage It is this was not the case at the beginning when when we had an all-in-one repository However, this is not manageable at all You can imagine the amount of PRs that are coming for Introducing different changes in the different network functions. It was not scalable and manageable at all so we decided to come to a Splitted version for each CNF the structure of each repo is Anyway, the same one and it's the one that is depicted in this slide So as you see the first folder we have is the Ansible folder where we store The application low-level design so all the parameters that belongs to the application which are not IP related It's again another Ansible inventory Where in this case os are the different instances of one of the CNF we manage in the example You have ccpc so the policy control function and you see all the hosts that all the different Instances we have we store parameters as I said before per host. So we which are specific of specific CNF instance or In group bars where when they are shared across different CNF instances in the same folder we have Sorry, we have as well Ansible playbooks and Jinja templates we use to produce the configuration and Kubernetes Deployment files. So there is Ansible playbooks that fetches values from the different low-level design parameters and Populates templates to produce the application files, which are again stored in it with the structure You can see in the slide. So for example here sorry for example here we have All the files for the day zero which are the Kubernetes resources and the day one configuration files Which are the files that Josh showed you before are pushed via net coms For what concern the branching strategy we have in place We have one branch for each cluster. We manage in the different sides. So several branches for each cluster in dev staging and Production how merging strategy works is depicted in these slides So the idea is that when we want to introduce a change or whatever and upgrade or a new feature We start clean from a feature branch and we produce all the files from templates for all the different Clusters so when all these changes are ready We raise a merge request to move from the feature branch to one of the development Branches so so to one of the dev clusters we perform some tests this which are automated and when the feature is Validated to be working as intended we move then from what the first dev cluster to the other dev clusters Again when moving from dev to staging the same process a lot of testing when it's validated from one stage clusters spread Across all the other stage clusters and finally eventually hopefully to the production What is really important here is that with the template we really gained a lot of Velocity and we reduce the failure rate because the structure of the thing you introduce the change of whatever it is It's always the same and parameters are gathered from the low-level design inventories Going now to the infrastructure repo. We have here We managed as we said before two kind of infrastructures So the we have the on-premise one, which is the one that the which is Deployed through the package we get from our vector Ericsson cloud container distribution eccd Which is a flavor of Kubernetes deployed on top of OpenStack VMs Here in this case, we have as well ansible Inventory so we store parameters for eccd in a specific repo and again Ginger template and playbooks to produce deployment files environmental file file You may be familiar with for OpenStack. That is then deployed by a pipeline for the AWS case we store as well in Git all the parameters for the flow and join step functions that we use to deploy all the needed resources in AWS so EKS VPCs and whatever we need Going now to another repo which which is the one we called common repo. This is another Milestone, let's say repo which is kind of glue among all the other Repositories because here we store some common artifacts like for example the Jenkins pipeline We use to trigger that they want configuration via netconf we store as well a bunch of playbook ansible playbooks that are used to configure the Some other systems like over the for example the gateways the routing and the firewall rules We need to operate our 5g core. There is as well the definition of the flux operator Which as is the operator as just showed a big at the beginning we used to? Deploy our Kubernetes apps Just as quick detail on a quick info on how we manage the rest of Applications which are different application kind like for the one that we use for testing or for our Observability stack all of those are as well of course storing in git and they are managed as well the same way as the other so inventories flux and Eventually some ansible playbooks and pipelines But how all of these comes to together and glue to have what Josh introduced at the Beginning, this is what I tried to depict in this picture So the idea is that at the beginning there is a manual input and introduction of the parameters in the different Low-level design repos at the moment is manual But it could be as well automated like for example via an IPAM when although all those parameters are ready The automation kicks in like for example for the infrastructure. We have a playbook that is pulling in for Information populating template producing configuration files and then again with another pipe pipeline is the infrastructure is Deployed when the infrastructure is ready. We have other playbooks that Again pull the information from the all the all the Application and IP low-level design populace template and produce configuration files Day zero files which are in our language Let's say Kubernetes files and they want files. So net conf configuration files Flux now can take those file from the git and deploys them on our cluster as well as for some bunch of Tools like for example the external secret operator. We use to sync secrets from the Ashikov bolt Now then there is the day one pipeline which configures via net conf and when the CNF is ready a bunch of testing Cases are executed to complete the picture We have as well some others more people we manage like for example the one where we define alerting rules which is One one of those others is the one that we received at the beginning of this presentation alarming us that a namespace was deleted and Lastly this repo here on the upper left side where we have all the other tools we deployed as I said with flux After all of that our automation. I hope should have worked as expected and let me now go to See in the dashboard if everything is back as intended So we prepared this dashboard here for the cube con Then my view. Okay, the VPN. I hope it's working back again Yes, so actually what you can see from here, this is the Grafana dashboard So for the med with the magic that we get from the cluster We see that there was a period where the of course we lost of Lot of pods because the namespace was deleted and now the situation is more or less back to normal Unfortunately, we don't have all the NF back Registered but yeah, this is real life. Sometimes it takes time to get all the NF registered back into the nrf What I would like to show you as well is that I Think that we have problems with the VPN, but the idea was to show you here some logs entry about Yeah, it's even worse now Anyway, that's sure. We should have been some logs entry about the changes we made so the net conf Configuration that were pushed and as well some information about the testing Let me see if I can recover this situation Probably it's reconnecting. I don't know why Really sorry about that That should have Okay, yeah, anyway, let me maybe try quickly, but now I will not make Really sorry, but yeah and With that, let's switch back to the presentation for some conclusion from Josh Yeah, so really important there was also that we really are able then also to show that the test progress So you would have seen how many test tests were successfully completed after this redeployment So we don't need to touch anything to get the CNF back or to deploy a new CNF So that's can now be fully automated and with this is really that Basically our conclusion is that automation outrun spreadsheet. So we will not work with Text a file or something stored on an individual laptop. That's not any more possible in such an environment And we really can benefit of cloud elasticity Especially if the workload supports it that you can deploy it wherever you need it It's important to have this low-level design as code and the smart repository structure and Yeah, you need to bring together the the good engineer from all domains to build really the Yeah, to figure out the best solution for the problems you need to solve Which really is able to then transform with the technology So for us we have started the our journey from telco to teco and Yeah, with that. Thank you for listening to us So if there is still time for a question or we can move to the next talk Possibility to ask the questions that audio setup doesn't allow that. That's why I'm going to Play this role. Thanks for this presentation Very insightful. I am quite curious How do you tie this in? for example, the Change process with the merge request promoting from environment to environment into your existing well established change management process in the company So that's have not been done yet. So there we We we try really to go new ways We are working with our change management to see how we automate changes and Which which changes really need to go through this change process and what's just done? Automatically because yeah there with with how we work now. It's not possible anymore. That's someone understands Why this change is now going to production and even yeah have the time to click somewhere to accept it or even Ask someone why this now needs to go to production. We really want to get to a change capability where we bring Like 20 hundred changes a week or even a day to production. So it gets impossible to know exactly What which change is really doing and there we also think that Because we we have this structure and all the testing that we are very confident that everything which get pushed to production Is not breaking something Thank you very much. Thanks Justin. Thanks Alessio next on the stage. Please give them a round of applause


It's the Joe Biden story that's not really being told. For decades, I've been sounding an alarm about how our economy has become increasingly rigged for the rich. I've watched it get worse. You're both Republicans and Democrats, but what President Biden has done in his first term gives me hope I haven't felt in years. It's a complete sea change. Here are three key areas where Biden is fundamentally reshaping our economy to make it better for working people. Number one, trade and industrial policy. Biden is breaking with decades of reliance on free trade deals and free market philosophies. He's instead focusing on domestic policies designed to revive American manufacturing and fortify our own supply chains.  This flood of government investment has brought about a new wave in American manufacturing. Unlike Trump, who just levied tariffs on Chinese imports and used it as a campaign slogan, Biden is actually investing in America's manufacturing capacity. So we don't have to rely on China in the first place. He's turning the tide against deals made by previous administrations, both Democratic and Republican, that helped Wall Street but ended up costing American jobs and lowering American wages. Number two, monopoly power. Biden is the first president in living memory to take on big monopolies. Giant firms have come to dominate almost every industry. Four beef packers now control over 80 percent of the market.  In a monopolized economy, corporate profits rise, consumers pay higher prices, and workers' wages shrink. But under Biden, the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department have become the most aggressive monopoly fighters in more than half a century. They're going after Amazon and Google, Ticketmaster and Live Nation, JetBlue and Spirit, and a wide range of other giant corporations. Number three, labor. Biden is also the most pro-union president I've ever seen. A big reason for the surge in workers organizing and striking for higher wages is the pro-labor course Biden is charting. The Reagan years blew in a typhoon of union busting across America. If they do not report for work within 48 hours, they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated. Corporations routinely sank unions and fired workers who attempted to form them. They offshored production or moved to so-called right-to-work states that enacted laws making it hard to form unions. Even though Democratic presidents promised labor law reforms that would strengthen unions, they didn't follow through. But under Joe Biden, organized labor has received a vital life vote. Unionizing has been protected and encouraged. Biden is even the first sitting president to walk a picket line. Biden's National Labor Relations Board is stemming the tide of unfair labor practices, requiring companies to bargain with their employees, speeding the period between union petitions and elections, and making it harder to fire workers for organizing. Americans have every reason to be outraged at how decades of policies that prioritized corporations over people have thrown our economy off keel. But these three waves of change, a worker-centered trade and industrial policy, strong anti-monopoly enforcement, and moves to strengthen labor unions, are navigating toward a more equitable economy. It's a sea change that's long overdue.
