Hi, guys. So today we're going to be talking about replacing Docker with Podman. So here's the first step. You DNF install Podman. Next step, alias Docker equals Podman. Any questions? We wait till the end for questions. OK, so this is my favorite tweet ever. So up here we have, I don't know if this thing will work, but Alan Moran said, I completely forgot that two months ago, I set up an alias of Docker equals Podman.  And so basically, he set it up two months ago. And down here, Joe Thompson asked, so what reminded you? And then he said, I executed Docker help. And all of a sudden, Podman help came up. So that's sort of a proof point. And believe it or not, that happened back in May. That tweet went on in May. At this point, if you've ever come to one of my talks, you know I make you guys do stuff. So everybody up. So please read out loud any text that is in.  These might be all US things, but basically containers is a Linux thing. Docker was awesome. They created the idea of this mechanism for storing software inside of basically a top all of some JSON file. So when I talk about a image or a container image, we're really talking about you create a directory on disk called the root FS. Then I put some content in it. A root FS is called that because it sort of looks like root on a Linux operating system, right? Usually, if you go into that directory, you have things like slash user and slash bar and slash root and slash home. So it's a root FS. You put your content into it. And then you create a JSON file associated with the image. And the JSON file has fields in it that basically describe what's going to be in your image. So it's things like the environmental variables that are required to run this image or the entry point, the working directory, things like that are in the JSON file. And then you tie that up together and you basically take that stuff and you put it in a container registry. So CoreOS a few years ago, that's what Docker really invented. And what they did is they put, so Docker sort of controls the image format. But along came CoreOS and they had this tool called Rocket. And what they wanted to do is they wanted to standardize on the image format. They wanted to basically define what goes in that JSON file. What are the fields in that JSON file have a standard? And why do you need standards? And anybody that's ever been around in the computer industry for the last 20-something years, or in my case, 150 years, you remember Microsoft. The guys we now like. But traditionally Microsoft back in the 1990s, they controlled .doc. So basically a standard document format that everybody was sending around the internet. And every time Microsoft released a new version of Office, they changed the standard. And all of a sudden you would get documents in the email, documents on websites or whatever, and you would have to buy new software, new Office, to be able to view that document. And all the open source versions of a Libre Office or Open Office, whatever it was at that time, would instantaneously be broken. Because there was no standard. There was no standard body controlling what was happening on the document. So CoreOS came along and they basically said they wanted to standardize that document format. Standard was not the document format. Standardize the image format, and they opened up a request for everybody to review this thing called the App-C spec, application container specification. At which point, all the people that were working on containers got together and said, we can't have two standards for this. We can't have RPM and Debian again. And so they basically came together and said, we have to have a standards body to define what a container image is going to be. And that standards body became OCI, Open Container Initiative, and it's a standard definition of what makes a container.  So now we had a standards body that said this was a container, and about a year ago, the OCI image bundle specification came out that defined what goes in the JSON file and what goes in the top file. So now we have a standard for what these things are. So when I say I want to run Fedora or I want to run Nginx, I have a standard that defines that. So now we take those container images, and we're going to store them in a container registry. Container registry is really just a website. But there's a protocol to be able to communicate with that. So now when I want to run a container, I need a mechanism to go to a container registry and pull it to my local system. And so a few years ago, Antonio Murdochka, who's someone in here, basically, we opened up a pull request with Docker to basically look. We wanted to pull down that JSON file that's associated with the image. We wanted to pull it to the local system to be able to look at it. Because some of these top balls can get enormous. They can get well over a gigabyte. So what we wanted to do is basically do a Docker inspect dash dash remote. And we went to Docker, had a pull request, and they said they didn't want to pollute the CLI. They didn't want to have these new options come in. But they said, it's just a website. Just go out there, grab the JSON file, and pull it back. So Antonio built a tool called Scopio. And Scopio was a tool for pulling down the JSON, originally it was just for pulling down that JSON file, or the OTI specification, to the host and then being able to examine. Well, Antonio didn't stop there. He basically continued on, and he implemented a whole bunch of protocols, like the pulling down the entire top ball. And he also implemented pushing the top ball. And eventually, this tool grew to be able to move container images between all sorts of different kind of container storages. So you're able to move from one container registry to another container registry without being root. You can move it to your local system. You can put it in a directory. It actually can transition from different types of container images, and we're going to be talking about a thing called container storage in a minute. So now we have a mechanism. Oh, so CoreOS came to us, and we were trying to get convinced them at the time to use Scopio to move their container images around. And they said, we don't really want to exec a tool. We want to have a library. So we broke Scopio into two parts. So we created a new library called GitHub Containers Image. And it's all the source code to move container images from container registries to local storage. So now we have a mechanism to define an image and pull an image. The next thing we need is a mechanism for storing the image on disk. Container images tend to be layered images. You have sort of a base image. Then I put a JBoss on top of it. And then I put Apache on it. And I put JBoss on top of that. So I might have multiple layers. So in order to do that, we needed a special kind of file system called a Copy and Write File System to be able to store those and to build those and create those. And that thing is called, we created a separate library called GitHub Container Storage. And usually, people think of things like an OvalA file system, device mapper, butter, FS. There's all these file systems. So we originally put the code that we contributed to Docker. And we pulled it out. We wanted to put it into a separate library. So that could be developed at a different rate. So now we have the ability to define an image, pull an image, store it on local disk. The last thing we need to do is to actually be able to run the container. And what we needed is a mechanism to define what it meant to run a container on your system. And that we wanted to have a specification for that, because we wanted to be able to run containers in different way. But what you want to do is you want to take the influence of three objects and combine them together into a specification. So when I run a container, the container basically has some content, a container image. Remember, it has that JSON that says, these are the environmental variables I have expected to be set. These are the working directory I want. So we have some specification from there. Then we have a specification from the tool that's actually pulling the image. So tools like Docker and Podman basically define sort of hard code or at least put it in a config file somewhere, content that defines what it expects to be what happened when you run a container. These are things like what security, what the SC Linux label is, what the capabilities it's going to drop, things like that are built into the container engine tools. And then finally, we take user input. User input, that's the way you override stuff, right? You say, well, I want to run a container, and instead of running the default entry point, I want to run bin shell. So we combine the user input, the tool that's pulling it, and the content inside the image. We combine all this together, and we write out yet another JSON file. That JSON file is now defined as the OCI runtime specification. So we have a specification. And because of that, other tools can read that specification and interpret it and do containers in different ways. So you might have heard of Cata containers, there's RunC containers, there's GVisor containers. But basically, all of these guys are following the same standard, so every container engine can generate a specification and then launch whatever container engine implements the ability to read that specification. RunC was the first, is the default implementation of the OCI runtime. So it's a tool that interprets the runtime specification and executes it. Almost everybody in the world that's running containers now is running RunC. Docker uses RunC. All the tools I talked about are using RunC, Cryo, ContainerD, Builda. Everybody's using RunC as the fall to run containers. So now we have the full definition of what it means to run a container. That definition of what a container is, ability to pull it from a container registry, ability to store it on disk, and then to launch the container. Anything missing from this? Oh, yeah, we need a couple more things. We need a standard way to set up container networks. So once I get the container, I want to be able to hook up a VPN to it. And we needed a standard for that, and CoreOS actually introduced a thing called CNI. So it's a plugin infrastructure for running containers and pretty much Kubernetes. And all the tools I'm going to talk about now use CNI for defining the network and allows third parties and whatever fancy networks to be able to plug in to these tools that are able to run containers. Lastly, there's a tool called ConMon that we use, ContainerMonitor. So when I run a container, I just start up the first process in the container, and then the tool goes away. It doesn't have to sit there watching and monitoring the container. But we wanted something that, a little tiny program that can actually watch what's going on in the container. And that we created a OC program, and it's called ContainerMonitor, or ConMon. So for every container we launch, we have a little tiny program, and this allows us to take our services down, bring them back up, and reconnect to all the containers that are running on the system. There is no big fat demon in this. I have a big thing about us, everybody in the world, when Darker came out, figured that there was only one way in the universe to run a container.  Well, all three of those have different security goals. And we ended up with the least common denominator of security. Building containers requires a lot more privileges than just running containers does. And fooling around in developing containers requires a lot more privileges. And because we only had one way to run containers, we ended up with the least common denominator of that. So I wanted to take that. Basically, we have those four things. We wanted to take those apart and say, let's run containers differently. Let's look at tools that can run containers differently. So one of the tools we built is a tool called Podman, Podmanager. And Podman is a tool for managing pods and OCI containers based on the Docker CLI. So if you want to run, see where containers are on the system, podman ps-a.  If I want to exec into the container, if I want to list the container images, everything looks familiar. When I'm running Podman on the system, and I'm about to do a demo, this is what it creates. This is sort of the design of what's going on in the container. There is an individual con mod for each one of the containers. And Podman creates pods, not really containers. What a pod is is a Kubernetes concept that allows you to have one or more containers in the same network namespaces of the same C groups, and basically allows you to sign those together. When I create a pod, the first thing it creates is an infracontainer. So an infracontainer is what we call the pods container. All it does is it comes up and goes to sleep. And its only real job is to maintain the namespaces. So it opens up and holds the namespace. I can see namespace, name space, pin namespace, and C groups. And it just sits there running.  Then I run containerA, which is sort of the primary. So if I just said run the fedora container, it'll create an infracontainer, and it'll be running a single container with the infracontainer. And that is sort of the primary container of the pod. Now I can also run additional containers in there. Usually we call these sidecar containers. They're basically containers that can monitor the primary container inside of the pod. But for the most part, when you think of most people, just run a single container. But when they run it with PodMan, you're actually creating something that looks like this. Anybody want to demo? Let's live on the edge. OK. Everybody see this there, right? Everybody see me typing my password? OK, so this is, I think, last week we announced, look at that. It doesn't even work. As of last week, we introduced 1.0 of PodMan. So I guess sort of January 14th. So PodMan, as you see, this is just simple PodMan version. And it goes out and it lists 1.0 of it. What version to go we built it with and some other interesting information. It looks very much like what you get from Docker. So now we show you PodMan info and scrolled a little bit off the screen. But the interesting part is actually down at the bottom. So we talked about container storage at the beginning of this talk. And here we are pointing to where container storage is. And you can see we're using the overlay. In PodMan, we use overlay. It is overlay 2 in Docker, but we didn't feel like no one uses overlay, and they all use overlay 2. So we just called that as overlay. And it stores it here. You can see different information about where the content is. But above it right here is interesting thing, registries. When we built PodMan, we didn't believe that there was only one place in the universe to get containerious. We didn't hard code. Everybody has to go to Docker I.O. What we wanted to do is allow you to, similar to what you do with YUM or any repository, you can list your repositories. So when you go to pull an image with PodMan, you can pull it from Docker I.O. or Fedora Project from Quay, from Red Hat, from Sentos. And it'll go through and search each one of these when it's executing. So it'll figure out where your container is. So an interesting thing, if we break apart containers into sort of these lower-level concepts and don't have to have just one way of running them, we can actually do containers within containers. So what right now I'm going to show you is another tool we built is called Builda. And I built a BuildaContainer image that I'm going to use inside of PodMan to build a container. So I can actually imagine building containers.  So basically it goes out and it's building a container image using, as you can see, Builda is running inside of the container here. I've taken, I created sort of my own storage so I'm going to put in the container. I'm using isolation charude because I'm already in the container, so I don't have to use so much more container stuff. But basically I just built a container image inside of a container there. So now I'm going to, let me clean it up. So an interesting thing that Giuseppe Scrovano, is he here? Anacura, these two guys up here in the back, did some really interesting work looking at containers and they wanted to be able to run containers as non-root. Now people say, oh, I can run Docker as non-root. The way you run Docker as non-root is you open up the Docker socket to the home directory and you allow people to communicate with it. Well, if I can communicate with the Docker socket, I have full root on the host. I have the ability to do anything I want on the host and it's worse than giving me sudo with no password because I can destroy the logs of everything I did on the system. But basically what we wanted to do is be able to run containers without root and we're taking advantage of a thing called the user namespace. So here I'm no longer using sudo to do this.  OK, you're going to have to believe me that it works. Hold on here. This is why you don't run a demo on your bug machine. It's not a 7.4.0 problem. It's a bug report where someone was running containers in a separate directory. Now is that a recovery or what? OK, so that basically just pulled down the Alpine image as non-root and now I'm going to run a container on Alpine. So it ran in my home directory. I just did listed the top level of the root FS of the Alpine container. So I can actually show you PS of the container running, the Canadians in my system. I can show you the images on the system. I just happen to have Alpine. It's the only thing in my home directory because you just saw I blew away my entire storage. But if I run sudo again, you can see that the image is on the host. So there's a separation. I'm building containers in my home directory versus the containers that are on the existing system. So you can see there's a whole bunch of containers there. But that shows that I'm not basically doing some kind of hacking thing like sneaking you into root while it's going on. So interesting. How does this work? So the demo is about to show you a tool called Build A Run Share. But when I'm running containers in my home directory, I'm becoming root temporarily. And the entire Linux operating system is set to do this. But it's taking advantage of user namespace. So I'm going to do a quick demo of user namespace. But if you go onto your latest Linux type systems, anything beyond REL7, and REL7 will have this feature in 7.7, which has come out in the summertime. There's a file, a new file on your system called Etsy sub-UID. And what happens in Etsy sub-UID is we have a mapping that takes your, oops, run button, that takes your username, dWalsh. Probably you guys aren't called dWalsh. And it basically sets up UIDs, allocates UIDs to your username space. And you get to control these additional UIDs. So what we're mapping here is 100,000 to your username space, and it's giving you 65,000 UIDs. So that gets assigned. And the next user gets the next group of 65,000. You see there's a test user here. And he starts out. And every time you use a rad onto the system, this file gets populated. When I'm running the user namespace, so here I just type builder on share. And guess what? I'm root. Suddenly I'm root on the system. And inside of this container now, I'll prove that I am root. So I'm running root in the system. So let me take a look at my home directory. And right now, someone's tweeting out on the back of the room that Dan Walsh has root files all in his home directory. He runs his root on the system. So it's interesting that I have all these root files on my machine, right?  But if I go into a different window, I have all the files that are owned by D Walsh. Let's look at this a little deeper. I can go into the container now. And I can do a make-do-or-test. Make-do-or-test. And I'm going to go into cd to test. And I'm going to touch Walsh and a tone home directory. I've got files owned by bin-bin. Pretty cool, huh? Let's look at what happened in my real home directory. Am I outside the username space? It created a file owned by UID 100,000 as bin. So if I go back into Unshear, I'll show you what happened there. So if I cat out croc self UID map, what it did when I set up the user name space in this case is it mapped UID zero inside the container to be my UID. So it mapped it as 3267, which is my UID. And it said for a range of one. Starting at UID 37, it will map one container to that. Then it started mapping at UID 1, 100,000 for the next 65,000 UIDs. So when I created a bin-bin file inside of the user name space, that's actually creating a UID 100,000 file. If I exit the user name space now, and I try to remove Walsh, it basically is going to give me permission tonight. Because now I'm not in the user name space, and I'm trying to remove a file that's not owned by UID Walsh. Inside the container again, or inside the user name space, I'm able to remove the file, so I can only remove the files inside the user name space. So user name space for rootless containers is pretty cool. But I can also do some interesting stuff across mine. OK, so I just created a container, the sleep container, as UID, this case is outside the user name space. And in this case, I'm mapping in UID 100,000 as root inside of my container for 5,000 UIDs. And so I just created a container on the system. And there's a really cool thing we've been introduced to Podman that basically allows you to show the UID. So here I'm saying show me the UID inside the container, as well as the host UID. So it says the container is running as root inside, and it's running as 100,000 outside. So if I look at through the PS command to see what the process of sleep is running, it's running as UID 100,000. Now I'm going to kick off another container, but this time I'm kicking it off using UID 200,000. And I'm mapping 5,000 UIDs. So I just show you that it's running as that. Now I have the container is running as 200,000. So if the container, the first container breaks out, it's running as UID 100,000, and it can't attack the UID 200,000. So it's separated by user namespace, but we can now take advantage of user namespace. User namespace has been around for a long time, but now we can actually use it for separating containers. This is something that Docker and nobody else in the world can do at this point, but we can do it with Podman. So an interesting thing about Podman is that Podman is a fork exec model of containers. So if we look at it, there's a file that gets created when you log into the system. So it's put into your process level. So basically, cat, proc, self-logging UID. This UID gets set exactly when you log into the system, and it follows you everywhere. Oh, boy, I'm already running out of time. OK, so basically what happens here is we can record that you de-wallsted something. So here I am, I'm executing sudo, that's executing Podman, that's executed. So that's basically sudo creating a root process. Then I'm running Podman, which is going to create a container, and then I'm cating the same file inside of the container. That creates the UID 3267, and shows you that Dan Walsh is running inside that container. If I do the exact same thing with Docker, it shows it as 424 billion to some huge number. Well, that huge number represents minus 1. So Docker is a client server model of containers, and what happens here is it actually talks to a demon. So there's no record that you did anything on the system because of this client server. So why is that important? I'm going to run a container where I'm actually breaking out of the container and I'm modifying Etsy Shadow on the system. Anyways, that's why you don't oversleep. Anyways, if the auditing sub-system was working, and I can show you this later, or you can download it yourself, it would have showed you that Dan Walsh modified the Etsy Shadow file when he broke out of the container, whereas if the Docker modified the container, it would have basically showed you that minus 1 modified the Etsy Shadow file. Because we're using a fork-exec model, we have better security, and there's a deep talk later on at, I think, 3 o'clock this afternoon that really goes heavily into these security features. So let's look at a couple more containers. So one of the really cool things that was added is basically also the ability to look at the PIDs associated with containers. We can actually look at the labels associated with containers. We can actually look at the capabilities, whether or not SecComp is enabled, whether or not the auditing subsystems. So these are all questions. Yeah, are my containers secure? What are they running with? So with Podman now, we have tools that allow you to look at different security mechanisms. And again, that's going to be covered this afternoon. So let's look at pods. So we've been talking totally about containers. And what I want to do at this point is I actually want to create an actual pod. So pods are groups of one or more containers, so I'm going to create a pod called PodTest, and then I'm going to launch two containers inside of it. I actually created them. I haven't launched them. So if I look at my system right now, I'm running no containers. So now I'm going to create a pod. So I assign two sleep containers to the pod, and I'm going to stop the pod. And now we're going to actually, and you see, there's two containers running on the system. So what happens when I stop the pod, it actually goes out and stops the containers. If I want to stop the pod, it's going to stop the containers. So at that point, it basically stops both containers. So real quick, since I'm running out of time, I'm going to show you one last tool. So we wanted to be able to, OK, so what I'm doing here is I'm actually going to run a pod. I'm going to run a series of pods. So I'm running three different pods. So I ran three different pods. Each one of the pods, the first one, is an on-emack number generator. The second pod was a database to store the automatic generator. And the third one's a web front end. So I'm basically combining all three of these together, and it ends up launching an application, the web front end. It's basically showing the random number generator graphed to the desktop. So that's basically three pods running inside a lib pod. But I didn't want to, we didn't stop there. So we show you that there's these three containers running inside of the pods. And now there's a new tool called pod man generate. I got five minutes. Pod man generate allows me to generate Kubernetes content out of the running containers. So what we were thinking is basically, people understand how Docker works. What we want to do is we want to be able to create a mechanism to go from sort of the traditional Docker world into the Kubernetes world. So pod man now has a mechanism for looking at what the containers that are running on the system and generating Kubernetes, that you can then take and directly launch into Kubernetes. So this is basically what the help of that is. So I'm going to generate Kube. So this is basically Kube YAML based off of a standard pod man running of a container. So you can basically use the traditional Docker workflow that you're used to for running containers and then generate the YAML that can then be used to put inside of a container. So I'm going to generate three of these. And this was not working late last night, so we'll see if a miracle happens. So now I'm going to go to Kubernetes, and I'm basically going to start generating so it failed. But basically, if you had a proper Kubernetes setup, you can basically start to generate all the three exact same containers inside of Kubernetes. And then you can start playing with Kubernetes, things like basically putting those containers, maybe putting the database on the web front end on multiple different services. It basically shows you the stuff attempting to run inside a pod man, but inside of Kubernetes. And that should work. But at this point, I'm not doing it anymore. So we'll open up to questions. Any questions? So pod man allows you to generate containers, generate pods, pretty much do anything you want. Sort of the most popular feature of pod man right now is running it as a non-root. Everybody gets excited about being able to do containers as a non-root. But basically, we believe that pod man is a great tool for replacing your standard Docker CLI. There's the rest of this presentation, but I'm running out of time. But so the question he's asking is, some people connect directly to the Docker socket and use the API. Well, pod man doesn't implement that API, so we don't implement the Docker engine API. Well, we implement this thing called ViLink. So ViLink is a mechanism for people to talk remotely to pod man and launch it. So we have ability to run. We have a library for Python. We have other programs. People are doing cockpit talking to pod man via this ViLink API. We actually have a tool we're working on right now called pod man remote, which allows you to run on top of a Mac talking to a pod man running inside of VM. So pod man has a full remote API. We don't intend to implement the Docker API, but we don't intend to implement Docker Swarm, obviously, because we're Kubernetes. But pretty much everything else. Everything you would traditionally do, I would say 95% of everything you would ever do with the Docker CLI we have, and then we're going to extend. We want to extend and really get it into the Kubernetes world, to move it into the Kubernetes world. Mac, well, I just actually mentioned that. So there's a thing called boot to Docker. We're working on a similar thing called, well, we're calling it boot to pod man or boot to CoreOS. And our goal is to have a client that sits on a Mac talking to a VM that's running pod man inside of it. That's exactly what Docker does now. Because you're running Linux containers. You can't run Linux containers natively on Macs. So that tool will work on both Windows and on Macs. Well, so you're asking about Docker Compose. Our goal is not to get in. The Docker Compose is sort of like a half-baked solution. Our goal was actually more to go towards the Kubernetes world, so we're really working towards supporting what we want to be able to do is to import Kubernetes YAMLs into pod man and be able to launch multiple pods that sort of match what the YAML is. So we're looking at more of how do we integrate better into, to allow people to move from the Docker CLI to Kubernetes and back from Kubernetes back to what they're more familiar with, the Docker workflow. So right now we don't intend to do a Compose. This is a fully open source project, though. So if you want to do compose-type stuff with pod man, we're fully open, and we'd probably accept requests to do that. Yes. What's my future vision? Well, I mean, we want to, I'd like to get to the point with pod man that it automatically runs everything in a separate username space for more security, because I'm a security guy. We have visions of better integration of the tooling on the system, getting the Mac stuff working properly so you can have a developer workflow from that. There's a whole page of stuff we plan on doing. Better integration with Cryo, so if you're running containers in Kubernetes, pod man interacts as well as possible with those. But pod man, build a cryoscopia, all share that same container storage so they can all work together with their individual stuff. Yes. The list, I will post it. But if you follow, we put all blogs regularly. Go to podman.io, it lists all the blogs that are available for us by github.container.slashlibpod is where podman is based out of. Anybody else? OK, sorry about the demo failing, but that's what happens with live demos. OK, thank you very much.


I'm Darren Marlar and this is a Weird Darkness bonus bite. From Ladd Bible. Man spent 50 years tricking entire town into believing Bigfoot lived there. By Jess Baddison. Sometimes you might prank your mates by telling them the wrong dress code for an event. Or you might rap your uni-flat mate's room and foil. Or perhaps your pranking days started off as a kid with simple games of knock and run. But rarely is a prank so extravagant that it crosses decades and fools a whole town. And one man in Alabama spent 50 years tricking his entire town of Bradley into believing Bigfoot lived there. Prankster genius Eugene Hendricks' plan hatched back in the 70s when locals spotted tracks by a river. Hendrick told WFSA television I got a wild hair one day. I wanted to do something about a Sasquatch. I got some big old feet and bolted some shoes to them and walked around by the river making tracks. I even made claw marks in the trees. However, speculation soon filled the town of Bradley as they were convinced that something out of the ordinary was going on and it got so wild even the police and search dogs showed up. Local Jimmy McGinty was just a child when the mysterious Bigfoot was supposedly wandering around their town. He remembered, I was just going out by the river and saw some unusual tracks on the sandbar. I went and looked and saw these big footprints and I'm going, am I seeing this right or not? But with such fear in the community and the police involvement, Hendrick decided to abandon his antics. He said, I put the cut out feet and shoes away and kept it a secret until 2017. And for a long while no one knew that he'd been behind it. But then Hunter Royal, who owns the old Gin-Greek country store in Bradley, decided that he'd start selling a monster burger, the Sasquatch burger. And Hendrick decided it was time. He was going to come clean about his epic pranking. McGinty couldn't believe it was him behind it all and said, I knew I wasn't crazy then, but he got me. The store then went on to sell all kinds of Bigfoot merchandise, even picking up a 3,500-pound solid concrete Sasquatch. Hunter was pretty surprised when his father-in-law McGinty showed up with the huge creature saying, I was in shock. It has made a landmark for the community. And in almost sweet end to his operation, Hendrick was the one to paint the giant statue, using his professional artist skills to design the landmark. Although it seems the locals do still reckon some kind of creature exists in the town, as Hunter said, if you don't believe in Sasquatch, you're the problem.

Remember a hallmark card when you carry it up to send the very best. You are an unusual true story on the hallmark hall of fame. We bring you another true story of an inspiring moment in the life of a real person. As William Shakespeare put it, some men are born great. Some men achieve greatness, and some men have greatness thrust upon them. Tonight we salute Lawrence and Drake. Grandfather of the American petroleum industry might never have made his marks on the tablets of history, had he not been the lucky holder of a free pass on the Pennsylvania Railroad. How this all came about is the remarkable true story we're going to tell you tonight. Here now is Frank Goss from the makers of hallmark cards. The next time you want to send your best wishes in the most gracious way, just visit a store where hallmark cards are sold. You'll always find hallmark cards with new ideas, new designs and colors, with new ways of saying what you want to say, just the way you want to say it. And of course the hallmark on the back of your card says something too. It says you carry now to send the very best. Lionel Barrymore is appearing by arrangement with Metro Golden Mayor, producers of the Technicolor Picture Mogumbo, starring Clark Gable and Ava Gardner with Grace Kelly. And now Mr. Barrymore brings you tonight's exciting story on the hallmark hall of fame. The story of Edwin Lawrence and Drake is a fabulous story. So fabulous you may find it hard to believe, but it's true. Let's drop back almost a hundred years. The time is April 11th, 1858. And the place for us is an average American home. Exibar! I'm coming, dear heart. Oh, I've got him again. It's cob wobbly's in my stomach. Oh, now don't you worry, dear heart. I've got the thing for you. What's that? Seneca oil. It's a modern-day medical miracle. Oh, no, that looks awful. Here now. Open wide. I don't think... I suppose. Let me see that bottle. Seneca oil. Magical curative from oil creeks owned by the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company, New Haven, Connecticut. Temmest I mentioned earlier in our meeting. We came to the conclusion that there may be even more uses to which this petroleum liquid may be put. Our chairman will explain what we have in mind. Stuff off the top of an oil creek out in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Got a couple of local men out there skimming the oil off on a blanket. Now, working this way, we're sending a man down there to look the situation over. One of our stockholders, Mr. Edwin Drake, if you have the necessary papers and so forth. I have, Mr. Chairman. Then let me wish a pleasant journey. You other gentlemen, I will do my best to justify the trust you've placed in me. I'll not let you down. I'm suitable for the job.  We don't want to spend any more than we have to. Yes, but why send Drake? We want to save money. Prior to his retirement, Mr. Drake was a conductor of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He's the only man in this company who has a free pass to Titusville. In my theory, Mr. Drake, I think it's in the coal. And where do you say then? Well, we've got some coal around these parts. And I think the oil kind of gets squeezed out of the coal by the way to the ground. I've explained why they're so little of it. Hmm. It couldn't be that they're so little because nobody's ever really done for it? Yes. He said there's very little of the oil. Yes, because no one ever bothered to dig deep enough for it. Well, let me still tell you what. Here's the show. More on tickets expressed from me to you. Yes, you go around. I'll send the wife around with a bottle of setting oil for your income back. The proper word, gentlemen. I believe the most proper term would be drill. And if I'm not mistaken, it has been discussed before. Sure, I put a stop to that talk. Hair, brain, waste of money. Well, allow me to elucidate. Now then, while exploring the area which lies about Titusville, I came upon a crew of men who were busy constructing a salt well. Their method of operation was, to me, unusual and indeed provocative. Mr. Drake. Yes. You did clear up that matter of land titles we sent you for. Yeah, I did. Thank you. May I, uh, proceed? Yes, do. I will. It seems that far beneath the surface of the land in that region lie great subterranean lakes of salt water, which, raised to the surface, may be evaporated, leaving a residue of salt crystals, which are marketed at a reasonable margin of profit. These salt wells are not dug. It's drilling process which I propose to utilize in my search for the lakes of oil. Oh, my sainted aunt. What lakes of oil? I have a theory, gentlemen. A theory? Which is shared by several eminent men of science. Mr. President, must we? I suppose so. Go on, Mr. Drake. The theory being that petroleum is not a product of coal under pressure, but rather an organic compound left over from ages long past, and that this petroleum has over the eons come to seek its own level, to gather in great subterranean pools or lakes. And you want to drill holes down to these theoretical lakes and pump the stuff out? Precisely. Oh, my sainted aunt. Now, see here, sir. What? I don't like your attitude manner or tone of voice. Well, now, isn't that a shame? The X-ray road conductor doesn't like my tone of voice. And in thinking this entire matter over, I cannot help wondering if you are really the proper gentleman to invest in this project. What's that? I believe you heard me. Well, now, let's not get hasty, Mr. Drake. Let's top this over. That gentleman over there may be inclined to scoff, but personally, I'm a gambler. I'd like to hear a little more about this. Well, I am convinced that petroleum, in amounts to stagger the imagination, lies beneath the face of western Pennsylvania, the men who have the vision and the daring to bring it out will stand to make millions. Tie on your field, you seem to forget. Your own chemist has said petroleum can be used as an illuminant, a lubricant, a wonderful road, build hundreds of other as yet undiscovered purposes, as a future gentleman, and with or without your aid. Honest especulator, purpose of batting, Drake. Do you understand your resort, world-driller? That's right. I'd like to engage you. Just a minute. If we can come to some sort of agreement, Mr. Price. All is charged the same, Mr. Drake. $3,000 foot, 1,000 foot guarantee. Guarantee? I don't understand that term. Well, short water is a funny thing. As far as I get my rig all set up, get my helpers out, and then we hit water and say, fellas, for me, I can lose out. 1,000 foot guarantee. And, uh... I might as well tell you now this locality. When do you want to start drilling for oil? How would six weeks from now suit you? Fine, that suits me just fine. We return to the second act of the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Analyze how your mind works when you're selecting a gift. First, you pick up an article and say to yourself, I like this. Next is, will Mary like it? You see, every gift we give is a combination of what we like plus what we think the receiver will like. It's the same with the Christmas cards we choose. Only here, instead of one receiver, our card is our Christmas gift to a whole host of friends. That's why you'll see so many discriminating people taking plenty of time to select just the right Christmas card. And why they prefer to make that selection from the Hallmark Christmas card albums. Every year, the cards in the Hallmark albums have been the style leaders. They are always the card you see displayed most prominently in your friends' homes at Christmas. And this year, the Hallmark Christmas collection is more exciting and varied than ever before.  So why don't you make a date with yourself right now to visit one of the fine stores where Hallmark cards are sold and select the greeting that will be your Christmas gift to all your friends this Christmas. And remember, a Hallmark card always receives a special welcome for to everyone, everywhere. That Hallmark on the back of the card you send means you'll carry enough to send the very best. Very more brings you to the second act of our true story, of Edwin Larrington Drake. The speculators back in New Haven, Connecticut, he was a dreamy-eyed visionary who would man run inside his world Pennsylvania. He was an infinite source of fun and merriment. To his wife, he was a figure of tragic greatness, a man of frustrated genius. History has proven the wife to be right. But I'm sure there were times when she wished Mr. Drake had stayed home and knew it. I say confound him, won't it always? Because I was a railroad man, they won't listen to me. You mustn't take on so, dear.  I do not want tea. I want justice. I spent eight months chasing that first man, that snickering goat of a well-bore, chasing him over half the state, listening to his oaths and promises, and to one end, to the end that you and I have been practically laughed out of this miserable, forsaken mud-hole of a town. I don't mind what they say. You don't, eh? Well, I do. But that other man, the one you engaged into random, he's coming, isn't he? He is not. Sometimes I think the Almighty wants that oil to stay in the ground. I'll just fix you some tea. If it's another letter from those vultures and you haven't, you can burn it. Why, yes, he is. Won't you come in? Someone to see you, dear.  No, sir, nothing like that. The fact is I come see if maybe I could drill your well for you. Of course I won't guarantee nothing will come out of it after I got it dug. I got four sons, all big fellas. The drilling business is slow. We ain't been eating too good. And I heard about you and the money you're willing to pay. Sit down. What is your name, sir? It's Smith, sir. William A. Smith. They call me Uncle Billy, where I come from. In Butler County? Mr. Smith? I have a feeling you and I, despite your many caustics and indeed defamatory communications, I have remained true to my goal. Now it is at hand. April 1st, 1859. Mr. Smith and myself will definitely commence operations. Your apologies will be accepted. Sincerely, your servant, Edwin, dripper water, Mr. Drake, because that's about all we got down this hole. That's a darn much water that the sides of the hole is washing away and I can't get the drill to stay steady. On top of which, we're down 31-foot, and that's where the solid rock began. Mr. Smith? You got a way to keep the water out of that hole? It's interested in salt, Robert, since it is. I know one way we could clear up our deficit. How's that? If one of them, Lake Erie, norther, should come pounding down across here. Lake Erie, norther? What's that? As you are, after the wind's getting late, Mr. Smith. Yes, so what we did, we chopped her down, sawed her up into three-foot lengths and sold her for post-holes. Cleared a pretty little penny, too. We're in church, Mr. Smith. I'll meet you here in the morning. How about things, Mr. Drake? We'll get a job in the circus telling about this idea. Impressingly bright morning. Most expensive vet happened to have a barrel. It's possible the magnificent growth of the petroleum industry, a great industry which right now is, yes, sir, to Edwin, Lauren, Gene, Drake, the industry of America. I'll be back in a moment to tell you about it. But first, here's Frank Goss. While I can't attempt to describe the cards you'll see in the Hallmark Christmas card albums, here's a preview of some of the famous artists whose work you'll find represented. There's Marcel Vertet, who won two Academy Awards for his artistic efforts in the motion picture Moulin Rouge. Doris Lee, whose paintings hang in art galleries all over the country. Saul Steinberg, the humorist with pen and ink. Norman Rockwell, Grandma Moses, Holda, and many others. Also new this year on Hallmark cards are the works of the associated American artists, as well as winners from the International Hallmark Art Awards. All in all, you'll find many fresh new approaches to the Merry Christmas greetings you'll want to send your friends this year. And best of all, these Hallmark Christmas card albums will be found only in those stores where shopping is a pleasure, where you can sit down and enjoy a visit with all these artists. At the same time, you're selecting the one design you want to have imprinted with your name. There's satisfaction too in knowing that whichever design you choose, your card will carry that Hallmark on the back, which always shows you cared enough to send the very best. And now here again is Lionel Barrymore. You know, Frank, I really got a thrill the other day when I saw the Christmas cards I designed for Hallmark on display right alongside the Hallmark cards by world-famous artists like Norman Rockwell, and Grandma... You know, painting has given me many happy hours. And I recall a quotation I've always liked. A fellow named Quintillion once said, The learned understand the reason of art, and the unlearned feel the pleasure. Well, Frank, to get back from the artist's pellet to the Hallmark Hall of Fame, whom are we honoring next week? Next week we're going to honor a man of great vision and force, I, Joseph McCoy, at a crucial time in our history, he found a way to get the plentiful beef of the Southwest to the needy markets in the East. How he did this is an exciting and adventurous true story. Oh, it certainly is, Frank. And as I recall, Joseph McCoy contributed to the growth of one of our most productive and important American cities, Kansas City. Well, I hope you'll all be with us next week to pay tribute to Joseph McCoy. Remember, you're also invited to the Hallmark Hall of Fame on television on Sundays, starring Mrs. Sarah Churchill. Until next week, then, this is Lionel Barry Moore saying, good night. This is Lionel Barry Moore appeared by arrangement with Metro Golden Mayor. Reduces of the Amsko color picture take the high ground, starring Richard Widmark, Carl Maldon, Andy Lane Stewart. This is the CBS Radio Network. This is KMBC, Kansas City, Missouri.


first round stage so please excuse me if I get confused yeah I'm a father first and foremost and then an entrepreneur as was told in the intro I was part of the founding team a title exited to JC and now building Unicast but this is one of the few times on the stage where I'm not pitching the company and that feels good we are about 40 people strong team by now in New York and Oslo and we recently pushed our share of women in the tech company Unicast from 17% to 36% in six months and I've been invited here today to talk about how we did that because I'm kind of tired of everything everyone talking about gender diversity as important but very few actually sharing how to do something about it so I'm going to share how we did that so first gonna talk about how can man and sadly man is often in control of a tech startup get woman into tech but also at the end how can woman get woman into tech it's all interconnected so we first started as everyone does realizing that we had a diversity deficit that's the start it's a problem it's a problem because our fairness principle but most because it's bad business studies have shown that more diverse teams actually perform better on the bottom line second then follows the internal discussions and why this is and how to fix it right everyone has been through that stage hopefully third nothing happens absolutely nothing happens no rush of women are applying to your tech jobs nothing happens and my thesis is that most companies stop here and they sit in their office and they wonder why does no one want to work here and they give up there's a couple of more steps as you can see here we went to step number four new internal discussions why did we fail and how to fix it and not only talk about it we had to reconvene and discuss this fifth we actually created a dedicated team to work on these topics we weren't expecting this anymore to happen by itself we had to treat this as any business mission set down a dedicated team to think of this and only this and then we admitted to the world that we had failed and whenever you see that logo there you can find our blog post on unicast.com describing in more detail we had to say to the world that we had failed also to commit ourselves to the solution and then we had to change our company culture and also how we communicated we actually went through all our texts on all our external sites and changed how we talk about ourselves and how we talk about future candidates as an example unicast unicast rule and we were calling ourselves the Knights of the unicast a fun start of the kind of thing what we later discovered was that a lot of women felt that to be unnecessary masculine we hadn't thought of that but in the process we learned it we removed the Knights so we relaunch our values with being your own CEO as the core value meaning creating a culture where every single individual in the company could shape the company as they saw fit themselves from everything to when you come in the morning to when you go in the afternoon when you take your vacations and how you prioritize your tasks we wanted to open up so the company was more approachable for a more diverse sets of human beings then we changed and opened up our hiring processes to avoid biases what we had learned was that when we had a hiring situation and they're hired 20 30 people the last 12 months we tended to end up hiring ourselves because the process wasn't good enough it wasn't structured enough so when push comes to shove I can more easily understand me than you so I ended up hiring me 20 30 times over so we had to change our entire hiring process and also open up that process to the world so that future candidates could see how we're hiring what we're looking for then we launched a diversity dashboard again showing the world how we're doing where we are doing well and we were doing not so well but daring to be transparent and then we did something very important we agree that it is okay to take longer to hire if you're looking for something in particular many come to me and say yeah that's all well and good but I have to hire the best candidates I have to saying that for me is as futile as saying as there's one person out there that you can have a more intimate relationship with if that was true you could never have a girlfriend or a boyfriend so that's true in a hiring situation as well there's always 10 20 candidates that are just a fit for the role but you have to give yourself the time to actually find that person and then comes the most important part I think a lot of companies fail to do you have to work hard you have to work hard on this and you have to learn and you have to iterate it will not be perfect the first time you have to do it again and again and again and then what you have to do you have to work harder this is not easy as anything you want to accomplish with a company you have to actually put a resources needed behind it and you have to be willing to change the company accordingly to achieve your goals that holds true for gender diversity as well so you have to want it you have to work hard and you have to work harder that's our secret recipe it's not like some magic bullet or a secret formula you just have to work really hard at it and this is just the start of our journey we have an internal ambition and goals to get this up to 50 percent we want to show other 10 companies that if you want this enough and if you work hard enough you can actually bring the gender balance up to where it should be matching the world around us 50 50 but there is another element that we can never escape and that is time there is 24 hours in a day and that's time restrained goes for all of us man or woman rich or poor and I had an experience a personal experience that led me to understand that this is a multifaceted topic it's not only what goes on in the workplace it's bigger than that so couple of months ago I was on a train ride with my daughter just me and her and we went into the family compartment and we saw this sign this is the sign for family on Norwegian trains it's fair to say that I didn't really feel at home so I went together with a designer and we changed the logo to something more fitting for me as a father and we sent it to NSB which is a train company no reaction but that's not the point of the story what I saw I'm gonna kind of internalize that day is that fixing something in the workplace is only half the story you have to also think about how you fix this at home because I was clearly not seen as a parent in in from that that's a certain interaction so if we don't think about the family life at the same time I think it will be harder for us to reach the 50% and the family perspective is something that we all have to think about all the time because this is a fact in Norway less men take paternity leave it's a downward trend men take less paternity leave it's a downward trend more women get custody of the breakups and more women take chores at home so well I think that the tech companies need to want it they need to work hard and work harder I think we need to expect the same from the family they need to want it they need to work hard and they need to work harder this is a picture you get if you search for work-life balance on certain picture services this is a sad sad picture so why is this important why do we need to focus on both what goes on in the companies and what goes on in the families it's very visible in this picture we need to fix this for this poor fellow that is not seeing his kid he's in the computer is building his tech startup he's not seeing the family we need to fix this for him we need to fix this for her she's only seeing the family she's not seeing the tech startup that's being built a computer away she needs to look up from that family and allow that man to come into it but most of all most of all we need to fix this for this poor little fellow because he's growing up seeing how his parents are both building tech companies and families and he or her will copy them so we all have to work harder on the companies we're building and the families that we're forming thank you


A little over a year ago, we shared the story surrounding a mysterious discovery that was once claimed to have been made deep within cave systems within Ecuador, which some believe were originally man-made. A discovery that, although now concealed from the world, was photographed, studied, and documented thanks to the array of artifacts which had been amassed by an individual known as Father Crespi. An entire seemingly alien metallic library, complete with hundreds of sheets of gold, platinum, and other precious metals, hammered out to reveal an astonishing unknown language clearly left by a people of tremendous capabilities. The caves in which this find is claimed to have been made is known as Cueva de los Teos, and although such discovery is denied by the Ecuadorian authorities, the Ecuadorian and interestingly United Kingdoms governments funded an extensive search of the cave systems soon after the claims became public. It attracted the attention of numerous individuals who traveled into the depths of these caves, including Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. What we wish to focus on this video, however, is the enormous seemingly man-made caverns which are found to be within the cave systems. We feel, if these cave systems are indeed one day admitted, as having been artificially hewn from the bedrock, then this would undeniably reveal tremendous flaws in academia's claims as to the geology and indeed true history of the area. The cave system is so enormous, it has yet to be fully explored by modern man, yet what has been explored has revealed highly compelling features which cooperate earlier claims of an artificial origin. The Morita portal, for example, named after Juan Morita, the individual who claims to have originally discovered the metallic library, is clearly of an artificial nature. The question is, why go to such lengths to construct this natural-looking cave system? Was it all created merely to hide this library? And if so, how important could the information held within be? And why did such a find attract the attention of the first man on the moon? Did the astronaut know something we are yet to discover?  Provided, he could provide photographic evidence and an independent witness cooperating the discovery. When Morita met with Von Daniken in 1972, he took him to a secret entrance, through which they entered a large artificial hall within the cave system. Apparently, Von Daniken never got to see the library itself. He wrote in his book, The Gold of the Gods, quote, The passages all form perfect right angles. Sometimes they are narrow, sometimes wide. The walls are smooth and often seem to be polished. The ceilings are flat and at times look as if they were covered with a kind of glaze. My doubts about the existence of the underground tunnels vanished as if by magic, and I felt tremendously happy. Morita said, passages like those extended for hundreds of miles under the soils of Ecuador and Peru, end quote. We feel the question now is, who went to these unimaginable efforts so far back within history? Why create such a place deep within the Earth with such an intended illusion of natural origin if you did not seek to hide something? Many still believe that the truth is still hidden deep inside its unexplored caverns, a truth that will force us to completely rewrite the history of mankind. Are the legends true surrounding Cuevo de los Teos? Did it once indeed contain an ancient metallic library left to us by an ancient civilization? We find the evidence to suggest so highly compelling. We have in the past covered the fascinating legends and indeed recovered artifacts that have been found over the years within the Ecuadorian cave system, known locally as Cuevo de los Teos. The legends of the cave nearly all surround hidden treasures of lost ancient and giant civilizations, including the posit of an ancient yet inexplicable library room made entirely from a curious metallic formula. With caves with an intrigue, strong enough to even attract the attention of the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, when began to wonder whether these legends be true, and when you bring Father Crespi's collection into the fold, the flurry of interest surrounding these legends and indeed the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself all become easily explainable via such motives of discovery. Father Crespi, as the title would suggest, was a religious man and one who was highly philanthropic and also incredibly interested in the artifacts of antiquity, and fortunately for him and us, the location in which he lived was steeped in lost ancient artifacts, all just waiting to be recovered. Father Crespi was a man of modest wealth and in return for curious artifacts, often found within the Teos Cave, even reported to have given food in return for clear forgeries, offered by hungry individuals, although he would offer more and often money, respective of the artifacts clearly historical value. This allowed Father Crespi to gather a literal horde of authentic ancient artifacts, many clearly from this long claim to exist metallic library, his collection full of metallic plates of unknown writings and other fascinating metallic artifacts. The reason for our revisiting of these caves and indeed the fascinating character that was Father Crespi, is our recent perusing of new information released on the cave, deliberately ignoring all aforementioned facts, including the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself, in particular at entrances, as if reinforced with enormous ancient lentils. Unfortunately, all that remains of Father Crespi's collection that can be confirmed as 100% his and authentic now only exist within the photos taken of him with his collection prior to his death. Whereas the horde of artifacts was ransacked and many replaced with poor quality forgeries. Thus, it is a mystery and we believe conspiracy to conceal a lost history, which we find incredibly frustrating. It is now a well-known, heavily studied fact that the modern-day bird was once a very different looking animal, evolution in the form of a radical transformational adaptation, forced upon them by gradual changes in the Earth's environment, from which they once came, that being the dinosaur. We now know this to be fact, thanks to modern technology. Our capability to now scan these fossils, some found remarkably well preserved, still fortunately containing many things, which have allowed us to discover that dinosaurs had bird brains, or more accurately, birds have dinosaur brains. With current investigations even shining light upon the reality that many of these gigantic animals, including the T-Rex, once had maines made of feathers. This drastic change from the dinosaur, resulting in the vast array of creatures we see today, from the ostrich to the albatross, even to the commonly domesticated budgerigar. Yet, they all share one common trait, a significant reduction in their size, even animals which survived unchanged, such as the crocodile, still shrank considerably. This shrinking of said species, having been demanded of them by environmental changes. Evolutionary adaptation, as we have covered in the past, is, in the channel's opinion, in its true sense, an adaptation of specific sets of vertebrate types, the true definition of species, not as Darwinian theory posits, of leaps between such. Thus, evolution witnessed within the animal kingdom is not indicative of a shared single ancestry, but inseparable branching from specific vertebrae or phyla groups, never proven to have leaped from one to another. As such, modern-day birds could in fact be seen as the product of de-evolutionary adaptation, possibly derived from cataclysm, which deprived them of the resources needed to remain at such gigantic sizes. The reason for this digression is the channel's postulation of this same process, having once possibly occurred to Homo sapiens also. Could this explain why some of the oldest ruins are also some of the most advanced, with many remaining beyond the reach of modern man's ability to understand them? Is it possible that man once had a much higher intellect than us today, due to a far greater size cranium? Simply put, were we once giants, just as modern-day birds were once dinosaurs? Legends and accounts of ancient giants can be found all over the world, also featuring in many ancient religious teachings. Additionally, many of the still unexplained sites of Earth regularly feature doorways many feet, sometimes even meters above that which is required by and for humans of our modern scale. The Terracotta Army, for example, is believed by many independent researchers, including Mystery History, who have been made by a lost civilization, and their average height, intriguingly, is much taller than modern man. Many accounts exist of giants, which share similar descriptive characteristics. Red hair, double-road teeth, elongated skulls, etc. With many accounts of red-headed giant remains actually discovered and excavated all over the world, yet often, all that survives of these reported events is a small news article, regularly noting Smithsonian involvement in said recoveries, yet seemingly and conveniently always slipping away from the public domain. Lovelock Cave being another example, locals tell of it once being the home of a group of red-headed giants, which was eventually blocked and the giants burnt alive, a giant handprint still visible on a rock in the cave, presumably made by one of these individuals during their unpleasant demise. Yet what has to be the most compelling piece of evidence, fortunately still in view to suggest giants did indeed once exist, are footprints found all over the globe, once laid down upon sediment, now fossilized into solid stone. These footprints range in size up to a few meters in length, indicating that humans, at some point in the distant past, may have been even larger than many dinosaur species. We find the evidence to support the hypothesis of giant ancient humans highly compelling. An astonishing collection of ancient evidential items and rediscovered historical factors have allowed the argument for an once lost history to have existed, all but now a foregone conclusion, a civilization at which some point in our distant past was lost, yet a once highly advanced worldwide culture. The proof that these ruins were all built by the same people or by those who were in contact with each other worldwide is now we feel overwhelming, yet their technological capabilities were just as equally astonishing. Cut from nearly every type of strata, ruins with such precision not only do they seemingly appear to have been cut with laser technologies, but the Barbara caves is undoubtedly the jewel in the crowd. When previously looked at by us, we were astonished by the finish of the caves' walls, both in surface and angle, which thankfully, due to the structure's sheltered nature, have survived for at least 2,300 years in incredible condition. Even more astounding, however, is that this precision has recently been confirmed using modern sonar-like technology, allowing for an incredibly detailed map of each cave to be created, each cave's image made from millions of points of reference. Revealing, for the first time in well over 2,000 years, just how incredible the creators of these cave systems were. A feat many now believe we could not achieve ourselves. Perfect 180 curvatures on the ruins, perfect 90-degree angles on the doorways, perfectly flat floors, and perfectly vertical walls, the creation of the caves was simply perfect. We feel it is undeniable that whoever created these caves had in their possession incredibly advanced stone cutting technologies. Yet, how this was done and with what are questions which we find hugely intriguing. There are a surprising number of historical anomalies, which scrutinizes the current often outdated explanations as to the possible origins of human civilization. Anomalies which suddenly bring the age of countless inexplicable ancient ruins found all over the globe into question. There exist inner circles of historical specialists who have quietly been battling it out over the authenticity of groundbreaking finds made over the ages. A smoldering cauldron of unavoidable controversies with frequent yet often failed attempts at discreditation. Ancient discoveries argued over behind closed doors, often within prestigious institutions. Each and all with vested interests on the retention of already established paradigms, illusionary or not. With the Glozol Affair being of no exception. Possibly one of the most explosive discoveries which could be unleashed on the historical academic community. A controversial congregation of artifacts of vastly varying dates would be an understatement. Rows of ancient technologically advanced uparts created by groups originating from all corners of the world. Some dating back to the Neolithic with an array of other periods present. All laid undisturbed for untold millennia. A seemingly modern age historical impossibility. A number of independent investigators continue to entertain the idea that academically funded historians accidentally stumbled upon and subsequently partially exposed to the world. A perfectly preserved pre-Atlantis antediluvian museum. One so controversial if the battles over carbon dating be won by those who support said theory. It would turn our chronological understandings of man upside down. Arguments over the authenticity of the discovery raged on for many decades until the outbreak of the world war in 1939. Multiple lawsuits were launched. Five international battles were undertaken. All to either prove or disprove the site's authenticity. Yet it wasn't until 1974 when a Glenn Daniel, professor of archaeology at Cambridge University, took another more significant look at the Glozol Affair's artifacts. Although with the clear intention of proving through carbon and other forensic testing that the true ages would ultimately reveal a fakery. Unfortunately, the complete opposite occurred. What was doubly bad for Daniel regarding these peer-reviewed results was that the finds, one luckily buried by the war, had now been plucked from the archives and back into the forefront in the academic field of discussion, yet now with no way of receiving dismissal. In 2019, another examination and scrutinization of the original tests was undertaken, and they held up. So, at a public symposium on Archaeometry at Oxford University, details of further work undertaken by McCarroll of Edinburgh and Maydoll Denmark claimed to show that the age of the ceramics alone is unquestionably great and authentic. This is a site which is undoubtedly incredibly important, and one we will definitely be exploring again in the near future. We find the Glozol Affair highly compelling. One of the more obscure and personal favourite uparts of mystery history is a small yet incredibly special unique figurine. Dated to the Stone Age, yet regardless of this extraordinary antiquity, this hollow figurine remaining unopened and unbroken for so long, interestingly rattled. After a delicate extraction procedure was undertaken, a metallic ball was found inside. A sphere, which due to the aforementioned age of said upart, should simply not exist. Yet, after further research, we have discovered that this unique figure wasn't a singular anomaly as we first presumed, but was actually part of a collection of equally puzzling artifacts, some of equally unexplainable characteristics. We now know it was found amongst a collection by locals mining for gold in Sierra Leone. They are now known as the Nomaly Figures. The statues are now attributed to a number of varying legends in Sierra Leone. Dating from 17,000 BC, some believe that angels who once lived in the heavens were as a punishment for causing bad behaviour turned into humans and sent to earth, a legend uncannily similar of certain fallen angel theories. The Nomaly Figures are thusly thought to serve as representations of those entities, and were cast as a reminder of how they were banished from the heavens to earth to live as humans. There are many strange hybrid interpretations within the collection. It includes animals such as monkeys, elephants, lizards, among other curiosities, some also depicted as giants. Quote, While the figures are varied in shape and time, they are uniform in appearance, indicative of a common purpose. That purpose remains unknown, however. The figures were part of a temny culture and tradition, but that, upon invasion by the mendee, the tradition was lost, and the civilization displaced to other locations. With so many questions and uncertainties, it is unknown if we will ever have definitive answers as to the dating, origins, and purpose of the Nomaly Figures. For now, they remain a magnificent representation of the ancient civilizations that preceded those that now live in Sierra Leone, end quote, asserted curator Frederick Lampe. We find the entire collection, especially our previously covered upart's metallic sphere, highly compelling.


The purpose of business or the purpose or the goals of big business is to expand. You can expand in two different ways. One is by conquest, another is by embrace. I can conquer you or I can embrace you. Both ways you will become mine.   Yes or no?  Successful people are showing miserable faces, which is a wrong message to send to the world, particularly to the youth. If you send a message that success is misery, you're destroying humanity. Success is the sweetest thing that can happen to human being. But now you take the most successful 10,000 people on the planet. You will see there are an epitome of tension and anxiety and misery. You are sending a completely wrong message. This you can see took such a bad turn in United States of America in the 60s. The so-called corporates brutally wanting to grow, conquer the world set such an image of themselves. The youth thought it's better to sit in the street corner and smoke pot.  So it's extremely important that successful people send a clear message, success is a beautiful thing. It is not a suffering, it is not a miserable thing to do in your life. If this has to happen, your expansion has to happen by embrace, not by conquest. When you have expanded by embrace, you don't become miserable with expansion. You become joyful and wonderful with expansion.
