Yes, you can hear me My name is Nikhil Vaze and you're here at the managing microservices at scale with open stack Docker So here's a little bit about me I am a software engineer on the electric cloud engineering team and you can find me on GitHub and Twitter over here So just a little bit about electric cloud to kind of frame the rest of the presentation They're just about just a couple of slides. We are a enterprise software company that Focuses on application delivery trying to get Software out faster for our customers and users Everything from when a developer commits all the way to production So that's just kind of our industry in our space specifically I Spend my time on our integrations and plugins. I'm the team lead for for this group and we You can think of all the different tools that exist Be it source control app servers issue tracking So we have to have plugins for all these different pieces so people can construct their delivery pipelines With using these these tools See so my general my experience about Docker is I'm ace the co-organizer for Docker Santa Clara. So this is in California in the United States and Took part of the Docker hackathon in 2014 2015 and In 2014 we was part of a team that did that did well So just humor me for a little bit of audience participation for me to gauge Who here is heard of Docker if you can keep your hands up, okay? If you've typed Docker run keep your hands up, okay, great If you use Docker and Dev and test keep your hands up Okay, if you use it in production keep your hands up. Okay, cool and The last one you've exported a Docker container and you've run it with system dns one. Okay, great. So You know, it's funny one year ago when I asked this question at the DevOps the the enterprise summit in 2014 in California the drop-off was everyone heard of Docker and then when it was come when it came time to Docker run everyone put their hand down and It's just remarkable to see kind of Pretty soon these these next slides. I won't really even need Because everyone will know these so I guess real quick because everyone is mostly familiar with with Docker You know, why are people excited about containers? So when we when we talk to our users? This number one, you know, it typically starts or how we're seeing it. It starts in dev and test So developers really pick it up and they're excited because now they can encapsulate their Software tool chain in a container. So to give an example If you want to do a maven build in the past You put what we did at least is we put maven on a network share then our build lanes would reference that maven the maven binary and If we wanted to upgrade maven or if we wanted to use Python We would have to go through a process where we took where we filed a ticket Got it to put something on the network share and now it would be available to our buildings now I think that's still there but nowadays people are putting the tool chain into the container and Distributing the container across the build agents. So this is just maybe from personal experience where that's where people start and You know the so the rest are you know just development production parody Container the startup times are really really fast if you've ever I guess you guys have Done everyone has done Docker run so I won't get it get into that and finally Microsoft is on board so you know the fact that typically I have a Windows laptop and My Windows experience with the Docker CLI is great It works and it almost worked from the first day you know and why that's a credit to Microsoft and the Microsoft engineers that made that possible and typically, you know with previous open-source tools like Vagrant it for example Windows support was kind of a Distant second, you know, maybe even third so it's just exciting to see to see Microsoft making these changes. So I don't know if there are any employees in the audience Okay, so real quick, you know docker. It's open source used to wrap LXC. It's really really fast I'm going this I'll just I'll explain this as if I were to explain to a co-worker What the value prop of Docker is, you know VMs? We're all we're all familiar with there's a hypervisor Take that away with containers. There's a little bit of kernel that's shared in between the host and guest all Docker is doing is Wrapping the core Linux primitives namespaces C groups and they've implemented this in go it used to be called lib container now It's called run C so on Linux all they're doing is wrapping the Linux kernel and go and on Windows They're going to be I guess doing the same for the Windows and nano server. So over here. You can kind of see the the Docker client that's the CLI it must be attached or talk to a Docker demon and typically that's always Linux now that's changing with Windows and Most of the times when I explain this Having kind of a diagram. I guess it's a little bit hard to see but Let's say we have this laptop. There's a CLI. I must point it. So this is a Mac laptop I must point it to a Linux box typically Running the Docker demon this way you get Docker installed on your host but really you're just controlling another it's like a remote control for a VM that is running a Docker demon and In the past, that's where I've seen some misunderstanding. So okay, great. We've Everyone is up to speed with Docker. So let's let's talk a little bit about microservices. So Docker in fact a Docker con I believe the t-shirt the back Kind of written in the back was like a monolith or container a day keeps the monolith away so hand-in-hand with Docker's popularity microservices have started to become popular and the reason these are the reasons why and Originally the CTO of Electra cloud kind of presented these I like them. So I grabbed a bit So I might be a little bit choppy here so, you know people are really excited about microservices because it provides I guess this two peds what Amazon calls like the two pizza teams, you know, you can grab teams segregate them and work on small pieces and then combine them together and Actually what I kind of Amazon says this because if you look at AWS, I know this is open stack But even actually similar to open stack, you know, there are each individual service that is independently managed released and typically has a rest API definitely an open stacks case and You know, you can group them together, but they're not necessarily coupled with each other So, you know, what are the good and bads about monolithic applications versus, you know, I guess with with monolithic apps? So, you know, it's when you have one code base. It's It's pretty well Testing is never easy, but it is easier than testing microservices app when you're starting out It's pretty easy to do one series of either vagrant files or or docker files to Create a consistent development environment and that's why people think it's it's sort of easier to develop and one thing is easier to Deploy than than many. So, you know, what are what are the what are the bads? So as an application grows it becomes harder to see where the delineations are from module to module or perhaps you didn't use any modules and it over time it becomes hard for onboarding harder to to to take different pieces out and put new pieces in and This this particular one about harder to adopt new technologies if you are Shipping the JVM and you have a JVM app It's harder to Take a go to adopt a service. That's or In, you know, within your product to adopt go lang or python So this is kind of where microservices really come in So, okay, great. What's what's so cool with with microservices? So now there's loose coupling and typically it is a rest rest API or the network if not rest then, you know MQTT or something asynchronous but usually the network and and With scaling and monoliths, you know, you have to scale everything or you have to you you have to scale the entire monolith Here you can scale individual services So the I guess what I It's kind of first-hand experience, you know, we chose Go lang for a new project because of the way it has statically compiled Binaries that's easy that are easy to distribute. So if they're so our use case we are typically a JV we use the JVM quite a bit but for a new project we want it to use go lang and Now people can use the so there there are two ways you can You can use the technology that you are most productive in so with teams think of acquisitions or A new team in a new geography, perhaps they don't want to be bound by the original technology stack or It I guess you get to choose. Yeah, you just get to choose the technology. That's best suited for your business problem So we've already talked about two person or sorry the two the two pizza teams. So okay, great So microservices monoliths Should I you know, should you use microservices? so what what we're trying to say here is There are a lot of prerequisites or things you should do before you just jump on the microservices bandwagon and kind of the bottom You know microservices are not a magic hammer. That'll make your other problems go away. So You must have CI if you think You know CI and good testing if you think managing one thing without automation is hard imagine 10 20 and Yeah, that's that's typically that's really the three bullet points here You know, what's difficult about about microservices? So when you start off in a later slide the the kind of the Guidances start off with a monolith and break it up into microservices. That's kind of the guidance But okay, you know, everyone is solving business problems. Where do pieces start and end that can be difficult When much like the the build automation piece when you Have one thing when you have a monolith and you have one thing to monitor it is perhaps easier than Monitoring 10 pieces and I guess not only is it it's more than just monitoring. It's you know logging Everything is on the network. So each of your services if they're logging a response that response should should agree on a format So it's called response like R ESP. Don't don't call it RSP or R You know, keep it consistent across all of your microservices. Otherwise, you're going to run into problems So, okay, am I am I ready for microservices? You know the so Martin Fowler the general guidance is no first start with a monolith then move to a microservice based architecture solve your like figure out your business problem and then go forward for model to microservice and You know automation and monitoring you need to be you need to those are prerequisites before you can jump into this So here was just a funny tweet that Marius Mars to see a scent which was if you don't this is a consequence of not keeping monitoring Doing monitoring correctly. So we replaced our monolith with microservices so that every outage could be more like a murder mystery Okay, so Great, we talked about Docker. We talked about microservices To combine the two Containers are a great way to ship your microservice. That's kind of implicit, but Now that you've had you have many now that you've broken up your monolith into different pieces Each piece can be a container. It can be it can be deployed And you can enforce some level of consistency with a Docker So let's talk about continuous delivery or you know delivery pipelines. Let's just let's just go with this so this is kind of the example of a pipeline back in the day that's a monolith and These are kind of the individual pieces. So, you know, you can see this is kind of a dated slide based on like subversion, but this is really what it takes for a commit either pre pre-commit or or really you check in all the way, you know to To check in time or really to where the The build artifact gets produced and published to an artifact repository. So over here, okay the codes that in subversion, you know over here the Let's say if it's if it's Java the the maven module gets published over here so okay, so source control and artifact repository the other thing I wanted to call out was chef or configuration management typically people would write or they still do they write Chef recipes or they write a blueprint of how you want your Middleware, how do you want your wild flight configured installed? How do you want Tomcat, etc? so as we move on to Containers that changes slightly or at least in my opinion changes slightly. So here's now a pipeline of a monolith but that that is containerized and the key differences are instead of a maven artifact that gets published now there's going to be a docker container that gets published to the docker registry and Because right the you know, I would be negligent to not mention Of course, we have we have open stack, right? So when you are When you want to spin up a integration environment and and perhaps if you want to deploy to production the kind of you know over over here You can spin up on-demand kind of per that scales as your dev organization scales and you can you can definitely use open stack for that and What's nice is you know once you've containerized things it actually it isn't make You get a little bit of cloud agnosticity, you know, you can sub in or sub out different different clouds Okay, so let's now go closer to a microservices pipeline and I promise this is leading somewhere So, you know, the first three are are these three are just Pipelines of individual microservices and I've kind of omitted, you know, the where open stack fits in you can imagine that perhaps It's after building and testing the container like where do you test it or perhaps? it's after you've aggregated all of the containers and you want to Deploy your application That's where you can also, you know deploy. Yeah, so over here deploy the integration environment, so I guess the the point I want to make is Some people call these upper three like lower and lower build environments or lower pipelines that are necessary to To deploy your application So you have least lower environments or lower pipelines that publish your code to a docker your docker containers to a registry and now your application is made up of five ten containers and The combination of all ten get deployed And that is your application. So all ten of them get tested together As kind of shown at the bottom over here Right, so okay. Yeah, so I wanted to do a before and after of hey, you know, we've talked about monoliths We've talked about micro microservices the assembly piece is actually kind of similar, you know the Palm files have dependencies of what what jars you should have you know maven So I've been taking a Java or I'm explaining this via Java terms because that's what I feel comfortable with But if you're a Ruby person or if you're a node person, you can probably mentally substitute Substitute in those those technologies. So all I'm trying to say is here is that the assembly piece bears some resemblance between monoliths and and micro services So, okay, I've given a lot of theory. I don't know if they're top gear fans in the audience But given all this theory, I was like, okay, how hard can it be? Let's see this in reality So what I'm about to show you is I'm gonna go step by step and talk about an application. Let's see Okay So we're all here because open stack. We love it. We use it, right? So how how are we gonna combine these pieces? There's open stack. There's containers. We just went over there's a monolithic app that's gonna get turned into a microservices app over here and How do we put these all together? Okay open stack is kind of you know the the substrate Now we have a lot of these different environments summer production summer test, but overall this is what we're going to do and The way we're gonna do this is via a or the application that I'm gonna take from a monolith to a microservice is a dashboard specifically a dashing dashboard and All of these will be you know this entire dashboard will be deployed on to an open stack cloud Historically, you know if you look when you think of microservices or one these these companies go up and they talk about it They they show Twitter and they show okay the ads or one service and the tweets are another or Spotify You know the recommended tunes so in this case Each individual city will be a microservice eventually so at first everything is a monolith and we're gonna split things apart Where each of these widgets or each of these tiles will be will be a microservice So here's the weather dashboard as as a monolith and I'm just kind of reinforcing these screenshots are from from electric flow And I'll give kind of a disclaimer In a bit, but here's just you know, I showed kind of the abstract. This is the practical of okay here's here's a pipeline and What's interesting is you know these days everything can be done or okay not everything But it's fun to put new things into containers and one thing that I did was the in the testing phase I used I used selenium inside of a docker container and that's not something I've I've done before and it was so I Think it as we talk about testing in parallel and testing one thing to testing ten things It'll it'll become relevant, but a shout out to Dave FP. He was the one who created the weather widget over here And I just kind of build on top of that So here is the weather dashboard As a deployment piece right so there here's our monolith There's one container that can that has everything and how okay great. We have this container What do we do to deploy it? We get an image we run the image and we create some links Okay, so that's the monolith and here's so Yeah, so I'll go through this via a video in a bit. I just want to I just want to run through these slides so Okay, so now a microservice right again kind of the three stages pretty similar and they're going to be 17 containers so selenium The fact that you were running selenium inside a container Okay, now we can scale up and down those tests that have to be done per service per microservice But there are still I I think there are still improvements to be made for for testing But I guess that it'll make sense in a little bit So the the one kind of caveat is Doing this implementation. I introduced a little bit of coupling so I think you can maybe see it here dashing at least out of the box there was no clean way for a Microservice or a component to show or share UI so there's this serialization at the top where it's I get The the dashboard that's just the layout and now each of these 16 different widgets run and These the 16 if something if something fails, that's okay one widget doesn't show up but if something happens at the very top that's a problem and I think as people go from a monolith to a microservice though Just as I ran into this they they will do So a few words before a demo You know everything can everything that I'm about to show you so you know, I'm an electric cloud employee There's a community addition. So everything I'm showing you can be shown here can be can be accessed here. However This is not a product pitch, right? So I am passionate about software delivery electric flow is sort of my canvas and it's easy for me to implement things there So if you have another orchestration tool of choice Whenever I say whenever I mentioned the kind of terminology in the in the product that I'm working on you can translate it So so I was going to do a demo a live demo actually, but I don't I don't have internet so Yeah, so we'll have to go with this video that I That I made but my timing is is is going to be off a little bit, but we'll have to Have to go with this, okay So over here, I'm just showing kind of the different applications so Relevant to our discussion for this talk are the monolith and the microservice so I didn't clean that this is a previous run. So I'm kind of five and six So let's see Okay, here is the you know, I show this in a screenshot here is one component It's a doctor container and it houses everything the front and the back end and The deployment piece. Okay. This is you know getting the image running the image and the links All right, so how do we kind of put this together in a pipeline? I'm gonna I'm what I'm doing here is I'm executing kind of the monolith pipeline so I showed kind of the definition and over here we're building the one container we're testing the one container and In particular what I want to show is the the selenium tests that get run So when you're advancing through a pipeline, I think it's it's important to show having automation That's great. You need to surface that to your users so it can be you so Okay, so So decisions can be made based on that automation. So over here. We see kind of a default selenium result And here's kind of the test suite. It's very I don't know if anyone has written selenium. This is a very very basic Very basic example, but you know, we can see the results and towards the end we've taken a screenshot So, okay, we see this and we're like, okay. Hey looks good You know the selenium tests have passed the application looks like it's in a good state Let's go ahead and publish this So I think in yeah in this example, I have two kind of manual approvals the publishing and then finally going to deployment and On my on my internet version. I took this out I just kind of combined the the tech the publish and deploy so over here. We're just shipping it and So now we've taken a monolith Built it test it put it on a registry and now we're deploying it and we can see over here, okay Was a little bit too fast Okay, we can see kind of the you know the widgets and So, you know, this is a global conference and so this one isn't in Fahrenheit because that Makes sense to me. I grew up with that. Don't worry. The next one will be in Celsius So we don't give anyone out So over here, I'm just doing a little bit of cleanup. I should have really edited this out I I reuse the same open stack environment. So what I'm doing here is I'm doing an undeploy. So I deploy the monolith I'm undeploying the monolith and then we're I'm going to run the the microservices application So, let's see. Okay. So the unemployment succeeded and Here we have Yeah, here's kind of the The layout and and one thing that that really comes up In my experience is the UI or any UI, right? When you are trying to figure out a problem space you eyes are great and they allow for experimentation at a certain point there is a Gap right where it's like, okay, I've done something as a proof of concept now I really need to implement this in production How do I go from one to to 16 or to a hundred typically central tools teams get run into this? Or if you try to do something for real So what I actually did was I use a DSL or I use a scripting mechanism, right? So you take one and You just put a loop around it and I think that At least the DSL aspect really saved me a lot of time on the demo But I think that as As we go and go into microservices even this actually can you imagine kind of like making this in the in a UI As we explode and deploy more and more things. I think it's inevitable that code Comes in to ops and into production where Yeah, you need to define your process as code Otherwise you will You'll have to kind of modify XMLs or use UIs and at least from as a dev I prefer it in code so here is Here's the microservices pipeline and it's it's it's pretty similar the one thing This is the assembly piece and how I modeled it So now great you have all these containers when it comes time to deploying How do you specify which containers to use? So I specified a JSON Lob kind of upfront saying what's the city and what version of the container I should use So again, you know, we retrieved all the microservices. Okay Now we're testing them and the difference now is each microservice So I stopped at three, but you can kind of imagine These going to 16 or 50 or however many you have Now you have all of these individual test results that you need to look at and make a decision on and Yeah, so over here. I'm just kind of showing the same the same kind of selenium test Okay, so Now that we you know the selenium test look good. Let's ship it and This deployment In a second we will see a A link to the to the dashboard and then I guess we'll see kind of the individual widgets Updating one at a time. So, okay, so here's the dashboard Okay, and yeah as the deployment is happening now the individual widgets are getting updated and Yeah, so that was that's okay, and it's Celsius so So no one's left out. All right, so I guess I'll at this point. I'll just kind of say some kind of concluding thoughts or As I was creating this or through my experience, you know, what were some some of my thoughts? so Selenium and Docker so okay before it was testing. Hey When you have a monolith, there's only one thing to test when you have microservices. There are tons of things and Selenium and Docker were actually kind of a natural fit even though that's kind of not That's where you run Selenium is independent on if you go through with microservices or not From from experience, I feel like a lot of organizations skip UI testing because it just takes too long You know, you can't run your entire test suite without bogging down the process I feel like this is just an area that for improvement, you know, sort of how do we tame this type of technology? and I know that you know Selenium has Selenium grid and all of that but That this middle piece is I maybe it's it's controversial to me or I argue with some people I'm still undecided about packing it all into one container. So what I mean by that is If you look at so the Docker container that I use for dashing was based on an open source version like I think FR VI slash dashing and There were volume mounts. So the idea was you take a container and then you volume mount in your code and you deploy that unit and What I did actually was I just packed it all in I removed the volume mounts because they don't Sorry, they don't they don't get versioned or if you commit them At least that's as of today. They don't get versioned. So I feel like the If you if you don't pack it all all in, you know, you have some interfaces or you lead It's easier to reason about what is going on in this container and why even though it gets harder to deploy in ops, but I'm still kind of I've done it both both ways and I'm flip-flopping a little bit The other part is There's just so much I showed it some pipelines, but I left out a ton, you know Deploying I deployed all the microservices. What happens if you want to only update one individual piece What happens if you want to do zero downtime or rolling rolling deploys or or rollbacks? And I think you know as your applications explode The the rollback becomes even more important or the rolling deployments become more important and So I think Mean time to recovery I think and mean time between failures. So this also kind of ties into selenium where You know You would like to have a robust unit a robust testing environment or testing practice within your organization, but practically You can only do so much between and business deadlines happen and you need to ship software, right? so As we increase complexity, we may have to consider changing our deployment practices such that It's easy to roll back and I think I've seen I've heard Facebook do this with with mobile apps actually where they seed their kind of most loyal or Staff or people who opt in for their alphas and they really instrument the data and they Take a look at Okay, let me back up because mobile devices are so so many and so frequent especially on Android That they basically said we can't test every single handset, you know So we'll release this into the wild we'll look at the the metrics and the people who opt in for bleeding versions will review their data before pushing out the actual application to the entire world and I think that piece in mobile. I think we're gonna have to to bring that in to kind of the back end or you know, this this microservices architecture and And and for what I did, you know with the weather application it was it was cheating a little bit, you know They all query the same back end a more representative or a more perfect example would have been querying different things or different endpoints and Not all of your services will be created equal. So that's just kind of the last the last piece So, okay, so resources right here's some resources Martin Fowler, of course the book the O'Reilly book. I believe building microservices Or or perhaps I I got the wrong one I think you know surprisingly for me at least D zone actually has a really good series of posts And with that Yeah, I guess I'd like to open it up for questions Sure, I don't know if you want to I can repeat the question or if you want to go to the mic You showed us is basically based on the traditional Application to develop a little life cycle see our life cycle But in reality, we have to manage there always and middle a part of the counter image Is there any good way to manage or send a middle a part of the image in conjunction with application layer? Yeah, so the question was that hey in the pipelines I focused on I glossed over the middleware aspect and what are some strategies, you know to To manage that so You know, there's some open-source tools like Packer for example that go from a blueprint and result in to a docker container I believe even the configuration management tools that they also Provide an ability to to build containers So yes, you're correct. I did I did leave that out so In that that would be just yet another pipeline or another piece of your application manifest, you know Hey, which which base image or where do I? It's another input Okay, yeah, so, you know I so I said earlier I I was part of the electric flow plugins team so we've written a Driver or sorry like a like a plug-in that calls the open stack API's So what we did is we so I? May actually have this week. I ran this on helium I don't know if anyone else is sad that helium is going away, but yeah, we provisioned these two these two images and Yeah, so we provisioned it via the rest API then we had a an agent actually running on this VM Sorry containers running on a VM running in a tent. Yes. Yeah No, it's this is just a new bun 2 image Yeah, it's all running on one VM Yeah, so that's another okay. I see where the question is All the microservices that I now that you see this this image, right? Yeah, I put them all on one one VM. So you can imagine so You know last week at At another talk I split things up into different VMs the problem or the problem I ran into was you need service registry or service discovery otherwise it becomes really hard and For this demo, you know, let's just we'll just minimize this No, it's In order for a complete example. Yeah You do need to put these into Individual or more than just one or two Yeah, so what I did I reused an open stack environment so instead of kind of the deploy and tear down Just like I had instructions on how to take an application and put it on I have the instructions on how to clean slate it So since everything's inside the container all I have to do is undeply the the oh, okay the containers So that's how I cleaned it up All right. Yeah, so I just got the notice that times up So thank you open stack for for inviting me, you know for this Thank you


It's time now for Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons. Ladies and gentlemen, Anderson and Collin Oates present Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons. One of the most famous characters of American fiction and one of radio's most thrilling dramas. Tonight and every Thursday at the same time, the famous old investigator takes from his file and brings to us one of his most celebrated missing persons cases. Tonight's case is entitled, The Silver Dagger Murder Case. When you think of a headache, think of Anderson. When you have a headache, get Anderson. Anderson is like a doctor's prescription. That is, it contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven, active ingredients. It gives incredibly fast, effective relief from the pain of headaches, neuritis, or neuralgia. Millions have turned to Anderson tablets for this reason. If you're one of those who have not already been given Anderson by your own physician or dentist, let me urge you to try it. Results will surprise you. For most effective relief, use only as directed. I'll repeat the name. Anderson. A-N-A-C-I-N. All drug counters have it. Now for Mr. Keen and the Silver Dagger Murder Case. Our scene opens in a three-story, privately-owned, white-stone house in Metropolitan, New York. On the first floor in a handsomely furnished study, decorated with curios from many parts of the world, a beautiful woman sits at her desk, deeply engrossed in writing a letter, unaware that death is lurking just outside her door. And this is to tell you that we must not see each other again. Apparently, you misjudged my motives and made a grave mistake. I am not in love with you and I never was. Good luck. And the best of everything. Edna. Who's there? What are you doing here in my apartment? I thought I made it plain that you were not to see me again.  Leave that dagger on the wall! Did you hear what I said? What are you doing with that dagger? No! I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Keen. Well, that's quite all right, Mike. There's a strange-looking fella in the outer office. He wants to see you. A strange-looking man? He's got a French accent, but he's wearing an outfit like a moving picture extra. He says his name is Lafarge and it's a matter of life and death. I'll see him at once, Mike. Right, sir. I'll wait till you get a look at his makeup, boss. Chiralli needs his a camel and he'd be set for a trip across the desert. You wanted to see me? You are Mr. Keen? Yes. My name is Lafarge, Mr. Jean Lafarge. I am grateful that you can send to see me, Mr. Keen. The situation cannot wait. Please sit down, Mr. Lafarge. I'm your partner, Mike Clancy. Yes, yes, of course. Can I ask you one question, Mr., before you tell the boss what's on your mind? Naturally, Monsieur Clancy. Where did you get that outfit? I am in North Africa, Monsieur. My home is in French Morocco. Part of this costume is Arabian. You don't mind my saying so, Mr. Lafarge? You don't look Arabian to me. I am French, Monsieur Keen. My parents left France and moved to North Africa to Casablanca when I was a child. Was it you wanted to see me about, Mr. Lafarge? Murder, Monsieur. Saints Preservice. What's going on? Last night, a woman named Edna Coring was killed in her home here in New York. Edna Coring seems to me I've heard that name before. She was a very wealthy and beautiful woman, Monsieur Keen, much in the news. I didn't read about a murder in the papers this morning. It was kept from the papers, Monsieur Clancy. The police believe they will have a better chance to catch the killer if there is no publicity at the moment. Then how did you learn about it, Mr. Lafarge? I had an appointment with Edna, Miss Coring last night. When I reached the house, the police were there investigating her murder. The man who found her body, a servant told me what happened. And you spoke to the police? No, Monsieur. I did not. I left immediately without going upstairs. I see. But please, let me explain everything first. Very well, Mr. Lafarge. I first met Miss Coring in North Africa three years ago. She was on a tour and she came to my place of business. I am an exporter of African curios, Monsieur Keen, and she was fond of collecting odd souvenirs on her travels. What sort of odd souvenirs? Oh, masks, silverware, and knives. It was a solid silver knife that I sold her, a dagger. It was used by her murderer. And is that why you were so reluctant to speak to the police? Because you had sold her the murder weapon? That and my relationship with Edna Coring, we were very good friends and nothing more. But the police may think, Mr. Keen, it is not for myself alone that I beg for your assistance. Edna Coring was a wonderful woman. It is only fitting that I should ask you, one of the greatest investigators in the country, to see that her murderer is caught. It seems to me, Mr. Lafarge, that your story isn't complete. Monsieur, are you holding anything back from me?  Yes, there is something else. I only hesitate because I don't want to involve a young man who may be innocent. Who is this young man? His name is Alan Cody. He's a young, ambitious playwright who is still unknown. I have every reason to believe that Edna Coring was in love with him. She told me about young Cody. You also have reason to believe Alan Cody may have murdered her? She told me several days before her death that she was breaking off with him. She said that she intended to send him a letter, but I could see it was making her nervous. She wasn't quite sure how he would react. Why was Edna Coring breaking off with this young man? She said there was too much of a difference in their ages, at least 14 years. Perhaps there was another reason I do not know. However, if I may suggest it, young Cody would be the man to question first about her murder. Yes, obviously. Here is my cart, Mr. King. I will write young Cody's address on the back for you. Very well. You have no idea how grateful I am for your help. This horrible thing has become a nightmare, but now I feel safe. You're safe, Mr. LaFage, as long as you remain on the list of innocent people. I beg your pardon. If I accept this case, I intend to make a thorough investigation of everyone connected with it, Mr. LaFage, including you. I understand that, Mr. King. Very well. Mike Clancy and I will have a talk with Alan Cody. Perhaps he'll prove to be a starting point in our search for Edna Coring's murderer. Yes? We're looking for Alan Cody. Does he live here? Why do you want to see him? I'll explain when I meet Mr. Cody. Who is it, Juliet? Someone to see Alan. Someone else? May I ask who you gentlemen are? My name is Juliet Forsythe, and this is Mrs. Cody, Alan's mother. My name is Keen. My partner Mike Clancy and I... Gee, I knew it. Something awful has happened to Alan, Mrs. Cody. Mr. Keen's a private investigator. Calm yourself, Juliet. I trust my boy implicitly. I knew those other men who came here this morning were policemen, even though they weren't in uniform. And now, Mr. Keen... Mrs. Cody, has someone questioned you about your son Alan? Yes, Mr. Keen. They were looking for him. They didn't tell me why, but they acted like plain clothes policemen. They probably were. You see, your son is involved in a murder case. No! Juliet, please leave me alone with these gentlemen. I'll phone you at your flat later on. Very well, Mrs. Cody. I'll expect to hear from you. Mrs. Forsythe and your son are friends, Mrs. Cody? Yes, Mr. Keen. Juliet and Alan have been friends since childhood. She's a wonderful girl, and my son is a good boy, no matter what they think he may be involved in. Where is he now, ma'am? I don't know, Mr. Clancy. And if I did, I wouldn't tell you until you've explained what Alan has to do with all this. A woman named Edna Coring was stabbed to death in her apartment last night. Edna Coring? You knew her, Mrs. Cody? Yes, and so did Alan. That's why we want to question it. But if you think my son had anything to do with it, Mr. Keen... I understand your son was in love with a murdered woman. That's not true. Then what was his relationship with her? Well, it was purely business. He's just finished writing a play, and Edna Coring was interested in helping him get it produced. She had money and... I know that. However, my information links your son with Mr. Coring in more than a business way. Then your information is wrong, Mr. Keen. Please don't think I've come here believing your son had a part in Ms. Coring's death. All I'm looking for are facts, and I thought he might be able to help me. I haven't seen Alan in three days, Mr. Keen. Does he live here with you? Most of the time, but he also has a small studio where he often works when he wants privacy. Where is that studio, Mrs. Cody? I don't know. You mean you won't tell me? Mr. Keen, Alan is my boy. He's all I had left in the world after his father died.  I respect your feelings, the mother, Mrs. Cody. I don't blame you. But if I could only convince you that we're here to help him if he's innocent, perhaps you'll cooperate. I don't want to be rude, but I've said all I'm going to say. Very well, Mrs. Cody. Let's go, Mike. Mr. Keen. Yes? I swear to you, my son is innocent. For your sake, Mrs. Cody, I hope I can prove it. But my mission is to find Edna Coring's killer. And when I do, I don't intend to spare him the penalty that all murderers must pay for their crimes. Well, this is Edna Coring's house, Mr. Keen. She owned this entire Whitestone building. Well, perhaps there's someone inside. No one seems to be in, boss. I beg your pardon. Are you looking for someone? Oh, do you happen to know if anyone is home in Miss Coring's residence? Are you friends of hers? My name is Keen. My partner and I are private investigators. Oh, yes. I'm Anson Howe, Edna's husband. Her husband? I didn't know she was married. Edna and I were secretly married one week ago in Chicago. I've just come from police headquarters, Mr. Keen. I was told that you two were investigating Edna's murder. Please come inside. I have a key to the house. I only found out about Edna this morning when I arrived from Chicago. I'm not able to control my emotions completely as yet, so please forgive me. I understand, Mr. Howe. But perhaps you can tell me, boss, what was that? Something hit the floor in that room. It must be a prowler in the house. Keep your gun handy, Mike, and let's investigate. Right, boss. I'll open the door fast. Stand where you are, young fella. Don't make a move. Who are you? I just came to see Edna Coring. Is your name Alan Cody? Yes, I thought so. How did you get in here? The door was open. It happened to be locked when we came in. Surely he climbed through that open window, boss. All right. But I haven't taken anything, except my own property. You mean that manuscript under your arm? If you'll let me pass, please. Just a moment, Alan. Let me see that manuscript. It's mine. I gave it to Edna to read, and I've taken it back. The boss asked for the script, young fella, so just be polite and hand it over. Give that back to him. I'll take it easy. Here it is, Mr. King. Alan, your play has an interesting title. Has it? The Dagger. It's, uh, Mystery Melodrama. So I get it. Sit down, Alan. What are you going to do, Mr. King? I'm going to read your play from cover to cover. It might prove to be as interesting as its title. The Dagger. Edna Coring, you remember, was stabbed to death with a silver dagger. In just a moment, we'll return to Mr. King and the silver dagger murder case. Meanwhile, beware of unpleasing breath that breathes between the teeth.

The murder of beautiful, wealthy Edna Coring brings Mr. King the famous investigator and his partner Mike Clancy to the scene of the crime. Ms. Coring's New York residence. There, Mr. King discovers that the victim had been secretly married to a man named Anson Howell and had apparently also had a close relationship with Alan Cody, a young playwright. Mr. King has surprised young Cody in the study, attempting to get hold of a copy of his latest play, which the murdered woman had had in her possession. Now, as Mr. King reads the manuscript of the play, which is titled The Dagger. When did you finish this play, Alan? Four weeks ago, Mr. King. Have you read it, Mr. Howell? Yes, my wife showed it to me. Edna said she was interested in producing it to help this young man, Alan Cody. I never met him, but I know who he is. You mean you were married to Edna Coring? Yes. Mr. Howell and Edna were secretly married last week, Alan.  We only kept it a secret so there wouldn't be too much newspaper publicity, Mr. King. And I thought she loved me. Edna told me all about you. She said she befriended you because she thought you were talented, but that you became infatuated with her. Apparently, that's the theme of this play of Alan. A young man falls in love with an older woman and then stabs her to death. Mr. King. Yes, Mike. Will you just look at the walls of this room? I noticed them before, Mike. Edna Coring had some odd souvenirs. My wife collected these masks and weapons as a hobby, Mr. King. The silver dagger that was used to kill her was taken from the empty space on that wall over there. Mr. Howell, do you know a man named LaFage? Jean LaFage, the French Moroccan? Yes, he was also in love with my wife before I married her. But he was a sensible man, Mr. King. Alan Cody here was different. What do you mean? I mean that I think you had something to do with my wife's murder. Do you have anything to offer us proof, Mr. Howell? You've just read his play, haven't you, Mr. King? Yes, but that's not proof of murder. It might have been a coincidence. The money he felt for my wife was no coincidence? Are you lying? Just stay put, young fella. What money are you referring to, Mr. Howell? Edna gave Alan Cody $15,000. You'll find three canceled checks in her bank statements for 5,000 each, endorsed by Alan Cody. I don't know a thing about that money. Mike, look through that desk and see if you can find those bank statements. I'll find them for you. They're right here in this drawer. You'll find them in this bundle of checks, Mr. King. For all I know, Cody tried to squeeze more money out of Edna. She refused, so he killed her. And if it's the last thing I do, I'll make certain he pays for it. Alan, Mr. Howell is telling the truth. Here are those checks, totaling $15,000 and endorsed by you. But that isn't my handwriting, Mr. King. It's a forgery. Write your name on this sheet of paper quickly. Write my name? Yes, here's a pen. There you are, Mr. King. Look at this, Mike. Sure, and his handwriting isn't the same as on those checks, boss, but maybe he's disguising his signature on purpose. Well, isn't anyone on my side? Do you all think I'm guilty?  She came here once and quarreled with Edna, threatened her and didn't break off with you. Leave my mother out of this. I'm sorry, Alan, we can. View what Mr. Howell just said about threats. Please phone your mother now. Look, Mr. King, arrest me if you want to, but leave her alone. I've caused her enough unhappiness already. Alan, will you phone your mother or must I? All right. I'll do it. Juliet? Yes? Yes. Let me speak to mother, please. What's the matter with her? I'll be right over. Mr. King, my mother's been taken ill. I've got to see her. Please give me a break. I won't try to run away. You'll find me there with my mother when you want me. On my word of honor. Your word of honor isn't enough in this case, Cody. Keep out of this, Howell. I think we can trust him, Mr. Howell. Go on, Alan. But don't leave your mother's flat until you hear from me. Thank you, Mr. King. How could you let him go, Mr. King? Suppose he... Alan, Cody didn't murder your wife, Mr. Howell. At least he never endorsed these checks that were made out to him. Tell me, did your wife make these out herself? Is this her handwriting? Yes, of course. She told me she'd sent money to Alan to help him produce his play. Did she tell you that she sent these checks to him directly? No, I just took that for granted. And we're dealing with murder, Mr. Howell. We take nothing for granted. Suppose we all follow young Cody to his mother's house. I have an idea that the solution to your wife's murder is there. Mr. King, please come in. Thank you. Juliet, you know my partner, Mike Clancy, and this is Mr. Howell, Mr. Juliet Forsyth. How do you do? How do you do? How is Mrs. Cody? A little better. May we see her? Of course. She's in the bedroom with Alan. Please come with me. Mike, let me have that statement I made out before we left Edna Coring's study. Here it is, boss. I still don't understand why you typed that thing out, Mr. King. You have complete authority to investigate the case. You don't need a statement of that effect from anyone. I prefer it this way, Mr. Howell, for my own reasons. Please come in, Mr. King. Mr. King. How do you feel, Mrs. Cody? A little better. Thank you. The doctor said mother would be all right, providing she wasn't subject to any more strain. It's her heart. Mrs. Cody, I'm convinced now that your son is innocent of Edna Coring's murder, and I'm going to prove it. Oh, Mr. King, do you really mean that? The boss never meant anything more in his life, ma'am. Incidentally, this is Mr. Howell. He's married to Edna Coring. Married? Then I was right about her. After all, she was shameless. Take it easy. I'm all right, son. I just want you to know that when I interfered on your behalf, I knew what I was doing. Then you saw Edna Coring, Mrs. Cody. Mr. King, I knew she was only amusing herself with Alan. I saw her and warned her never to speak to him again, or I wouldn't be responsible. Mother, be careful of what she says. I'm not afraid. I have nothing to hide. Perhaps not, but you made one mistake, Mrs. Cody. Edna Coring was only trying to be fair to Alan. She never let him on. Is that right, Alan? Yes, but if you think my mother's quarrel with Edna had anything to do with her murder... Alan, right now, all I want is complete authority to investigate this case thoroughly. But you already have that, Mr. King. I need it in writing, Mrs. Cody. I've prepared a statement to that effect, and Mr. Howe has already signed it. I want the rest of you to add your names. Mike, your pen, please. OK, boss. Here, here you are. Mrs. Cody, sign here, please. There you are. Alan? There. Well, I guess that's all we... Oh, wait. Suppose you sign it, too, Juliet. After all, you're involved in this, too, Alan's best friend. I'd be glad to sign, Mr. King. There you are, sir. Well, thank you, Juliet. Now I don't want to cause Mrs. Cody any more distress, so I'll leave you for the time being. May I stay here with Mother, Mr. King? Yes, Alan. It's quite all right. Oh, Mr. Howe, may I speak to you in the living room before I leave, please? Very well. And you, too, Juliet? Excuse me, Mrs. Cody, I'll be right back. What is it, Mr. King? Mr. Howe, I wanted to tell you that I've found your wife's murderer. What? But I prefer to finish this case out here, so as not to excite Mrs. Cody. Mr. King, you mean you know who killed Edna Coring? Yes. Who? You did, Juliet. What? Don't try to deny it. A moment ago when you signed this statement I pretended to need, I saw that your signature matched the endorsements on these checks of Edna Coring's.  But, Mr. King, how did this girl get hold of those checks for my wife? Your wife believed Juliet Forsythe could be trusted as Alan's best friend. She wanted to help him produce his play, but thought perhaps he wouldn't accept her money after she broke off with him and that Juliet could persuade him. But Juliet promptly forged Alan's signature and cashed the checks herself. No, that's a lie.  Edna Coring took Alan away from me. All my life I hoped he'd marry me, but he never knew. And Edna Coring stole him away.  Don't you see, Mr. King, I wanted to protect him from her. I admit I was terribly jealous, but I thought of him as well. In other words, Juliet, you're looking for sympathy. Well, I'm going to disappoint you. There is no excuse for murder and no sympathy for it. Even less in your case. How can you say that? Look at me. Am I pretty? Am I rich and beautiful like Edna was? No. All I had was Alan and she...  Love such as yours is false, unit.  No! Maybe jealousy had a part in it, too. Maybe your mind did become twisted over the years. But the fact remains that you murdered primarily for profit. That's how you'll be tried. Take her away, Mike. I'll put in a call to Lieutenant Hale at police headquarters and tell him that the Silver Dagger murder case is finally solved. And so Mr. King finds the solution to the Silver Dagger murder case.

Hiora, kaupai te hiri e tine e ra mingamahi o tine ropu amine. Ko opuka toku monga ko wama ka reri toku awa ko iroa ko poarangi toku waka ko jusuf.  Tena koto, tena koto, tena koto kato. Hi, I'm Julia. My mountain is Mount Hutt in the South Island. My river is the Waimakariri and my waka is Christchurch. I honour my grandparents Joseph and Mae, my parents Ian and Patricia and my children Joe, Izzy and Bal.  It feels very special to be here with you all and I honour all of the work and araha that I see that is so apparent to me as I look around. Thank you for inviting me to be with you today. So, I wanted to share a little bit of my story. My work with common unity was ceded by my parents, both children of the Great Depression who in their very working class, Nofril's approach for parenting believed that a proper education meant having a backpack filled with practical skills that this was as essential as academic pursuits. My mother's mantra was just to get on with it. I spent large amounts of my time as a child delivering eggs around my community in return for fruit, plants or money. It was not uncommon for me to find the community at home, after school, cooking, preserving or sewing together. It's just how we rolled. Alongside my local community growing up, I learnt to grow food, cook, chop wood, rebuild my bike, preserve fruit, pluck freshly culled chickens and roast lumps of meat after first experiencing the full process of their demise. But perhaps the ultimate gift they gave me was the one that they didn't count on. My father, being unable to pursue most professions, given that he was illiterate, became a prison officer, a job that constantly broke his heart. And from my earliest times, I can recall lying in my bed, listening to him quietly narrating reports to my mother who would write them up for him. Except they weren't really reports. They were the stories of the men that he was in charge of incarcerating. The stories of how they got to be where they were. Ratched stories at times. Men who were broken. I came to understand that those random families that arrived on Sundays for roasts and left with boxes of garden produce and hand knitted woollies were actually ex-inmates. This was never explained to me by my parents. It's just how it was. The same feeling of outrage and injustice that I felt as an eight-year-old listening and trying to make sense of these things has never really left me. I honour my parents today for demonstrating community, resourcing me with skills that could be used as personal currencies, a sense of social justice and, above all else, a commitment to being vegetarian. It was to come when I found myself alone with three children and a terminal illness, the seeds of resilience that my parents had sow and germinated. And so too did the curious experience of being so deeply challenged but without fear. I could do this thing. I had what it took and I simply needed to just get on with it. When I was well again, I wondered if my story might be of use to the other stories that I kept hearing in my wider community. And the idea of common unity was born. This morning I speak on behalf of the community that I work alongside. That is so dear to me. Common unity is a charity that operates in collaboration with Ipuni School in Loha Hutt. We have a role of about 100 students with many challenges in our community. Common unity started as a pilot, a strange, crazy experiment to see whether it was indeed possible to feed the 100 children of the school from what we could grow and resource locally. With the belief that given support, communities can take this responsibility on for themselves. The Ministry of Education gave us the use of a disused soccer field and then later a classroom which we turned into a community room and workspace. We invite our parents to come to school with their children six days a week where we all learn together. Many of our families are living in challenging situations, suffering adversity and hardship. Our place of unification is meeting the needs of our children sustainably and collectively, using time and gifting to transact with one another, growing richer without the use of money. This is our place of transformation and strength. Anyone is welcome to attend any of our sessions and workshops, local parents, families from our wider community, businesses and corporate friends, thus creating diversity of skills, ethnicities and backgrounds. We knit a new story together. Our offering to all participants is our modest but growing collection of social enterprises and open sessions. We have a recycled bike library, cooking sessions, a nationwide bee education project, a knitting project producing blankets for our children and a sewing enterprise that produces clothing and goods from recycled fabrics and corporate uniforms, a playgroup, health clinic and a community honey project. We do not service provide nor do we implement any programs whatsoever. Everyone is welcome to receive and everyone is asked to give back. Anyone can have support from a garden or home through to assistance with developing a business or an enterprise, advocacy or support. What we can't forget as a group, we reach out forward into our wider community and network of supporters. We take resources that others throw away and reuse them. Our garden itself and acre of food production and food forest was created from 15 local resources all found within a five kilometre radius of where some of the greatest poverty in the Hutt Valley exists. We have our so good project which recycles textiles and corporate uniforms into plastic free packaging solution and clothing for our children. Sorry Charlotte. We hold our own seed bank and make our own skincare range. We dig over each other's gardens, we cook together, we help each other out. Actions that are entirely led and owned by the community. We get grumpy with one another and don't always agree but we are learning to understand each other's stories. Above all we laugh a lot. We also see the abundance of economic opportunity that surrounds the very issues we are needing to solve. By developing these ideas into years to come and connecting with a growing body of like mindedness, our vision is to share our model into many communities. By using alternative forms of exchange rather than just money with reciprocity and fair share, being underpinning values of our organisation, we are able to celebrate the wealth that we do have. Fertile soil, time, innovation and each other. We are constantly reminded of the magic that happens when we keep our actions child focused. We work with the idea that communities are ecologies too, aligned to the plight of the ecologies of our natural world. And that the plight of one is reflected in the health of the other. And that just maybe if we are able to restore our ecologies in human communities, we have a chance of saving our wider natural environments. Or as Edgar Kahn, the grandfather of time-being, he puts it, no more throwaway planet, no more throwaway people. So these are my colleagues. They are our Ipuni farmers. All of them grow food every week, but they are also growing change. They are our major stakeholders, the children of our village in whose name we call to action our community. We are able to feed ourselves locally and organically at the cost of 10 cents per child with our service providing or corporate sponsorship. Our families run these sessions. They are our leaders and our change-makers. Self-esteem, it grows from learning, I am capable, I am lovable. We have found so much local food. We realise the issue is not that we have a food scarcity when it comes to feeding our communities. We are needing networks, collaboration and sharing across New Zealand. We call constantly upon government to fund community-led projects such as our own. To allow communities to respond to their own needs, utilising the individual needs and strengths of each. That the model of funding a corporate response of low-quality food-like products and delivering them into school creates an industry of poverty out of our most vulnerable. We ask for assistance to resource communities to enable them to create their own solutions to develop employment across social enterprises that are locally owned and networked with one another, thus creating resilience and restoring heart back into the broken places. Communities that again revere the role of a primary caregiver, bringing parents back home to their communities as much as possible. This is the common unity dream for the children of Aotearoa. But whilst we wait for the system to catch up, we just simply get on with it, recognising that many families and our planet simply cannot wait. This is Vic. He has one of the most extraordinary stories that you would ever hear, and he volunteers time in our garden and is learning to be a beekeeper and helping us develop our community honey project into an enterprise that will employ four dads later this year. We want to educate and employ as many locals as possible to grow together fund where regular givers donate the equivalent of a coffee per week. Our honey project received funding from these cute little people, our sunflower farmers. Every year they grow a field of sunflowers, and each year call them around New Zealand as part of something we call Project Sunshine. This was in response to them wanting to live in a community that looked beautiful. They now have 350 different communities around New Zealand who have taken their seed and the project on and are now also growing sunflowers as living works of art in their community as well as highlighting the plight of our bees. Our little ones are learning that simple actions of sharing can amount to significant change. They are learning that they are pollinators of change and such proud moments this week for our bee daddies who were able to gift back to the children our first honey harvest that their seed money had funded all 120 kilos of it. So this is Dar. Her husband, Nicklin and their three sons were refugees from Indonesia. They were given a cold and damp flat in a building full of addicts to live in and they have not yet been reassigned to suitable housing. Her children suffer asthma and Nicklin became a beekeeper with us when he realised that giving his boys honey each day stopped his boys from wheezing. Dar comes to spend most of her days with us. We employ her to run our kocha kitchen sessions. She has a budget of $10 per 100 meals and sometimes doesn't even spend that. Our kocha sessions are open to anyone in our community. We cook with the children and then have a community lunch and afterward share surplus meals and produce with those that have helped. This is our idea of what a food bank should look like. Every child should have a dar at their school and every school's dar should be supported by their wider community. This is my friend Peter and when he looks around his community he sees cooperation and hope. We are expanding, currently fundraising to build an off-grid community kitchen and another urban park and food forest that Hutt City Council has leased us. A beautiful facility showcasing green technologies, community cooperation and education. A place to incubate enterprise and feed 500 children a day from. A place to grow change. It's time to restore dignity and strength to our people. When we connect together and put our children's needs back into the heart of our village and our actions our economies grow strong, our planet is respected and nobody is left behind because when we share we get there together. Thank you very much.

We are an active member of the Freedom Online Coalition's advisory network, and we co-chair the new task force on trustworthy information online. The volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia, who I have the honor of representing today, are citizens and constituents of all of the governments represented here. They are committed to working with all of you to make sure that the internet evolves in a way that allows everyone everywhere to thrive. But what we're seeing in this age of artificial intelligence is that it's getting harder to ensure that technology serves people and not the other way around. To thrive economically, socially, and culturally, and to exercise all other fundamental human rights, we know that people everywhere need well-sourced knowledge that is available in their own languages. Last month I had the privilege to travel to Singapore for a global gathering of our volunteers. It is a constant reminder of the humans who are dedicated to ensuring that the internet remains human led and technology enabled. People like a doctor named Allah, who dedicates all of his spare time to ensuring that accurate information about COVID-19 is available in Arabic, or Taufik, who started editing in the Malay language Wikipedia as a student and now as a teacher is focused on how to use Wikipedia in the classroom. The one thing I've learned from the Wikipedia volunteers is how the day-to-day process of building and improving facts works on Wikipedia. It's important to remember this is an encyclopedia. It is not a social media platform or an opinion page. Contributors to Wikipedia collaborate, debate, and discuss their edits in order to write thoughtful, informative articles. They provide citations and sources. They weigh multiple perspectives all out in the open so that good faith decisions can be made about content together. And they embrace the spirit of collaboration across national borders to provide the most accurate information possible for the world. They also set and enforce rules for what does and does not belong on our projects guided by a universal code of conduct and the foundation's commitment to human rights standards. Wikipedia directly reflects some of the sustainable development goals that we're here to discuss. Our projects contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning for people everywhere. The foundation's programs prioritize the advancement of gender equality and empowering all women and girls. But there is no SDG that can be achieved if individuals and communities lack a wide range of well-sourced and accurate knowledge. Reliable, verified facts need people to discover, report, research, curate, translate, analyze, and organize them. Which means that people who do such work, including Wikipedians, need to be protected. We are experimenting and have been for many years with how AI tools can help Wikipedians do their work by keeping humans in control of the facts. There is much discussion this week about AI regulation and we certainly believe that any company and organization that deploys artificial intelligence should be held accountable to and by those affected. Finally, we must not lose sight of the people who governments have an ultimate duty to protect. We need to make sure that the laws and regulations targeting technology also protect the people who are at the coalface of the fight against disinformation. People who discover, report, share, and curate knowledge, including sometimes facts that may be inconvenient to the people with the power to silence them. Thank you.


The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King, the swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest-mounted police who preserved law and order in the new northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant. Sergeant Preston stood talking to Shane O'Neill. A strong cold wind was cutting into the two men as the young trappers' acts bit him fatically into the log he was splitting. On this frame of mind, Shane, you ought to get a lot of those logs split. Yeah. I see what you mean. You don't know where a man could trap, say, $5,000 worth of pelts in this country, do you, Sergeant? $5,000? Well, that's a lot of pelts. If you set some traps up in the hills, you'd get some good pelts, but I doubt very much... But not $5,000 worth, huh? Probably not. Why? Oh, it's Julie's father. Jim? What's he got to do with it? Well, I've already asked Julie to marry me, see. Well, does Jim have something against you? Or is it Julie? Oh, no, no. Julie will marry me all right. And her father's for me. But he says I'm not making enough to support her. This last season's been a poor one. He figures that if I had to have $5,000 in the bank, that it'd be enough to tie this over for a couple of seasons like this last one. That's good sense. Sure, it's good sense, but I don't have $5,000. Mallory's been calling on Julie lately. And her father thinks that because dude's cafes are paying proposition, that she ought to pay more attention to him. Oh, wait a minute, Shane. Judy's calling you. Hi! Oh, there, Sergeant. It's a huge bit of stuff to catch some breath. You've been running all the way from here, please? Yes, I have. I wanted to tell Shane father's looking for him. For me? Yes, he wants to talk to you. What's he want to talk to me about? Seems to me he made everything plain enough the last time I saw it. Oh, well, if that's the way you feel about it, all right. I'll just tell him you said that. Oh, I'm sorry, Julie. I'll go right over. Oh, why don't you come too, Sergeant? Father feels that you've blighted up, stopping at Shane's. Glad to see you, Sergeant. Here, sit down. Most comfortable chair in the place. Hey, see you still got the best-looking dog in the Yukon. Ah, thanks, Jim. Yes, King's my right-hand man, aren't you, boy? Shane, I called you over here because I want to talk to you about a dog. You know the race they have over in Middleton every year? Yeah. Well, I got a dog I think can win it. That is, he can win it if Sergeant Preston here don't end the King. No, King's not running in any race. Well, then I'm sure a winning, providing I can get someone to handle the dog. I'm too old to train him myself. A couple of years ago, maybe I could have done it, but I didn't have a dog I felt was good enough then. Where did you get the dog, Mr. Stanley? I bought him the other day, and he's a beauty, strong as a nox. Now, I'll make a deal with you, Shane. I'm listening, sir. Well, you train the dog, and I'll put up the $500 to enter him in the race. And if he wins, I'll split the $10,000 prize with you. That means you'll get $5,000 out of it. And if... say, then I could marry... Well, yep, that's right. You could marry Julie with my blessings, providing you win the race.  What do I say, Mr. Stanton? You've got yourself a trainer for that dog. Sergeant Preston was delayed at Middleton, waiting for orders to come through from headquarters. And while he waited, he worked with Shane O'Neill, helping the young trapper to train his dog, Kuna, for the race. A short distance from his cabin, Shane stood talking to the Monty. Well, from what I've seen, I'd say he's ready for the race now. Just what I was thinking myself. There's only one other entry that stands a chance to come in any ways near him. Mallory's dog, huh? Yeah, he's a favorite. And there's no ceiling on the beds either. Yes, I know. I was in town this morning. I heard a lot of talk about him. I haven't seen the dog myself, but I... Yeah, speak of the devil. I guess I came out to get a look at the competition. Hi there, Sergeant Preston. Why don't you get on the side of a winner? What's that, dude?  My dog will pull the legs off this one. I wouldn't be too sure about that, Mallory. No. Wouldn't like to place a bet on the side, would you, Shane? Everybody in town knows who's going to win that race. I'll make a bet with you, Mallory. You're one man I don't mind taking money from. Listen to that.  Are all the entries in, dude? Yeah, yeah, I've 20 up. 500 dollars ahead. And winner take all the way it was last year? Yeah. Personally, I think they ought to enter 25 dogs. That way there's a little cash left over to give the judges. Well, dude, most of those men are in it for the sport of it, not for the money. Not me. I'm interested only in cash. How about that bet, Shane? You want to back up the big talking you've been doing about that dog? Come into town and we'll let Sam Morrison hold the money. I'll be in first thing in the morning. You name the figure. I'll see you. Step in at the cafe, sir. I'll do that, dude. Come on. Goodbye. I don't know what you think about that, Sergeant, but I don't like it. It seems to me he's a little bit too sure of himself to be planning to win that race, honestly. He's got something up his sleeve. And me, I'm going to be watching Kuna day and night to make sure he don't get a chance to pull it. The day of the race, while dude Mallory struggled into his heavy weather repellent Mackinaw in the back room of the cafe, he spoke to a heavy set man who glanced nervously out of the window from time to time. You sure the girl hold for the first part of the race? Yeah. The only thing is, now... What?  He didn't have a chance to get near any of his stuff. But once the race starts...  It's that knife for his. He's used it to skin pelts for the last five years. Everybody will recognize it. You get that knife when we can both swear it was found beside our sled. Don't worry, I'll get it. Shane, who Neil's going to lose this race and it's going to be a big surprise to him when he finds it out. Slowly the dogs inched forward, pulling the heavy sleds through the snow. Muscles straining in a contest where strength and stamina were as important as speed. King looked at the mob of people. Every man and woman in the crowd stood watching the race. All of them oblivious of the dog standing back patiently waiting for his master. The great malamute felt the common bond of excitement that held the crowd without knowing its reason. And so he fought it strange when one man from all the numbers walked unnoticed from a cheering townspeople. Strength were nearing the finish line. Shane, O'Neill and Duke Mallory were ahead of the others. Their dogs so close it was almost impossible to tell which was ahead. Then as O'Neill pulled away from the others Duke Mallory's dog bent his head in one great effort and suddenly the harness snapped sending the dogs sprawling in the snow and leaving the sled of the standstill. The race was Shane O'Neill. You'll see what it is, Mr. Stanton. Hey, Sam! Sam, come here a minute. I want to show you something.  Well, Shane, I want to congratulate you. That was a fine show and you may guess, sir. Not so fast with the congratulations, Sam. Better have a look at my gear first. What's wrong with it? It was cut. That's what's wrong with it. Come on over here. Congratulations, Shane. What happened to your harness, dude? It was a bad time for it to break, wasn't it? Break? It didn't break. You see this? That's where the leather was cut. Just enough to weaken us so it'd give out on the race. Well, O'Neill, so this is the way you thought you'd get me out of the running, huh? Sam, I demand you to disqualify him. Disqualify me? Look here, Mallory. I didn't have a thing to do with that. Oh, no, no, no. Listen, everybody in town knows what you stood to gain by winning that race. You know that my dog was the only one in the line up that could beat yours, so you made sure he wouldn't. That gear was all right yesterday. I wasn't near that sled of yours. Can you prove it? What do you mean? Can I prove it? I thought you planned to pull a stunt like that on my sled, so I stayed up all night keeping my eye on it. No likely story that is. Sam, what are you going to do about this? You can see where the leather was cut. Yeah, I see.  Oh, Shane. Julie, I don't know what this is all about. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Don't you think you should have proof of Shane's guilt before you disqualify him? Yeah, sure. Well, I reckon so, Sergeant. But it looks like he'd be the only one that have reason to cut the harness. Like Dude says, anybody can see his dog and Shane's was the best entered and the most likely winner. If you want proof, Sergeant, we can go over to where the sleds were kept. Bound to be some way to tell who did it. Yeah, let's go over there. Well, then come on. Come on. Never thought Shane would do a thing like that. Dude Mallory, flanked by Sergeant Preston and Sam Morrison, was followed by Shane O'Neill and as many people who'd heard the dispute. Quickly the group walked to the small stall-like lean-to where Dude's dog and sled had been sheltered. The cafe owner hesitated at the entrance. He'd expected Harry Conway to be there to meet him, but the place was empty. Well, dude, I guess you might as well look around. I don't know how you can tell anything from these tracks, oh, Sergeant. No, they're pretty well-tamped in. They overlap in so many places. It's hard to separate them. Well, maybe he left something here. A clue of some kind. Isn't that what you'd call it, Sergeant?  And as they did, a strange sound came to their ears. It was King. The great Malamute had followed Harry Conway when the man walked to where Shane O'Neill's dog and sled had been housed in a lean-to similar to Mallory's. It was when he saw Conway rummage through the pockets of a spare mackinac that he'd jumped the man. As the intruder fell, he struck his head against a pole, losing consciousness for the space of a few minutes. When the man stirred, King was instantly on guard again. That's King. But where's Shane? That's coming from your lean-to. I'm right with you, Sergeant. You won't touch anything with that knife, Conway. This man's on your payroll, isn't he, dude? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was. What are you doing here? I'm sick of looking at that dog. Down the back away from me. Not until you've told me why you're in here. As long as O'Neill's pack is in this lean-to, it's legally his property, at least until 10 hours after the race is over. Rest him for trespassing, Sergeant. Who rest me? Are you dirty, yellow dog? You think you can show this on me, huh? Who wouldn't for you, I wouldn't be in here.  Get the knife, you said, and we'll plant it in our lean-to.  You didn't tell me every time I try to get past him, them teeth of his would be in the way. Don't you know being arrested for trespassing is nothing?  A little bit too late to tell him that, dude. He's already told us how we need to know. All right, King. Sam, I think it's pretty plain what happened here.  No, no, no, just a minute, Sergeant. Now maybe we can make a... Conway. Who cut the gear? You or Duke?  You don't have to tell anything. I could still arrest him for... I cut one side and Duke cut the other, Sergeant, if we want to cut our own gear, that's our business. Not when you try to frame another man for doing it. Well, look, look, suppose that, uh, suppose we just forget all about this. Forget about it? I'll take it out of your hide, your cheap tin of horn. Now, maybe you better forget about the chain. You've just won $10,000. That's right. I forgot about that. Well, I ain't forgot about it. Now, come on over, son. I'll give you the money in cash. Dad, Dad, did you hear that? Chain won. He won! Yes, fellow. He won all right. But it's because of you that he'll collect the prize.
