Pertama, terima kasih banyak kerana datang. Saya tahu hari ini, saya tahu kamu semua penat. Jadi, kenapa tidak kita mulakan dengan permainan yang mudah? Yang mana ini? Jadi, ini adalah permainan Simon yang basically adalah permainan memori. Jadi, apa yang berlaku? Ini adalah bahawa, bahawa ini adalah sebuah sebuah sequenya. Dan kemudian, saya akan mempunyai sebuah sequenya kembali ke Rest Verify. Dan ia berlaku lebih lama sehingga saya dapat ingat sequenya atau saya dapat mengalami. Jadi, basically, bagaimana ini berlaku? Jadi, saya pasti yang kalian semua di sini mungkin tahu dengan Rest Verify adalah, untuk mereka yang beritahu, ia adalah sebuah komputer, sebuah komputer yang mempunyai ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari, yang basically mempunyai ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari yang kalian harapkan komputer. Jadi, apa yang menarik adalah, ia boleh digunakan dalam beberapa projek maker, dan ia boleh digunakan untuk orang-orang untuk belajar tentang bagaimana komputer system akan berlaku. Jadi, ia ada perkara yang bagus adalah GPIO Pins, yang adalah bagaimana saya mengawal ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari di sini. Bergerak. Well, Rest Verify adalah sangat tinggi. Ia adalah sekitar 50 SGT. Dan ia boleh digunakan ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari bersama. Dan ia mudah memperkenalkan. Dan apabila hal 5 tahun, dalam klas kita boleh belajar Python. Python code. Dan seperti, bahkan apabila hal 4.1-nya berlembung, kita boleh bergilang dengan Python. Halaupun, ia mempunyai beberapa kecari kepada semua, ia tidak berlebihan, ia mempunyai pengalaman proses, dan GPIO Pins adalah semuanya. Jadi, ia tidak ada banyak aplikasi ke-cari ke-cari ke-cari, tetapi di sini, ia menarik untuk terserah, Jadi ini adalah barang biografi yang mempunyai GPIO pin. Di sini ada 5v yang mempunyai LED lampu. Dan kemudian ada perjalanan, tentu saja, untuk latihan. Jadi each GPIO pin terpaksa mempunyai 2 stets, tinggi voltage dan tinggi low voltage. Dan ini dapat diperlukan programatikal dengan modul GPIO. Jadi ini adalah perjalanan yang mempunyai self-contained. All you need is the HDMI board, the wireless adapter, and the power cable. So the Raspberry Pi 3, which came out not so long ago, will have Wi-Fi enabled. But this is the older version. So this is the circuit diagram. It's not very complicated. It's just 3, like everything diodes and 4 push buttons, 2 of which are rising H, 2 of which are falling H. So these are all the lights and buttons. So how this is done is with Python software. So firstly we import the RPI.GPIO module and then there will be certain functions such as GPIO.SET board. And then each of the individual pins will have to be set up as an input or an output. And then ultimately to control the pins is a simple function called GPIO.Output and then which pin and then whether it's on or off. I will show you the code but the slides are hard to read. So as fun as this Simon game is, FMI is pretty fun, but there isn't much applications that you can do with it. So what I tried illustrate here with this Raspberry Pi is that it can be used to create a home automation network. So as this Forsager Conference, everyone is talking about all the internet of things and how we can connect all the appliances in the house to the internet. So basically imagine that the Raspberry Pi 80 has all the circuits contained here and they will have sensors which are this input buttons or they could be something like a temperature sensor, it could be something like a humidity sensor or light sensor and the actuators can be LED lights, can be a fan, can be an icon, can be anything. So let's say you want to control this from a remote device, a computer or a phone. So there's this sync-on partner which I'm using which is simply a free online software, or free to the extent that will receive messages and then relay them over to the Pi. So it's like a broker. So over here I have a web interface which is just done with a bit of bootstrap and HTML. And whenever one of these buttons are pressed, it triggers a javascript code over here and whenever one of the buttons are clicked, the javascript code will use pub.nub to send a message and you'll send true pub.nub to the Raspberry Pi. So can you see the Python code? Ya, so this is the Python code or thought you'll report RPIG by O and then pub.nub is a module for this bus and ultimately what happens is that whenever a message is received by the Pi, it reads through the message and then checks what is the content of the message and it will switch on the respective lines. So in an ideal home automation setup, so how would this work? For instance, we are talking about it could be a Stem Regions of Humidity Sensor or Viable. So the information will be tracked by sensors and then uploaded or sent by a partner to an online platform. So the user can check in the app or what's the temperature in the house or has that been an intruder in the house? It could be a motion sensor. So when the user checks this, the user can then use the app to control the appliances in the house. Also, this can be used for complete automation in which appliances in the house respond intuitively based on the surrounding conditions. Okay, why home automation? First of all, it's convenient. You don't have to leave the room to switch on the light or the fan or Viable. But more than that, it can also be quite secure because you can set up a motion detector and then when you're not at your house, if there's any motion detector, then the motion detector can be connected to the camera to take a picture and then you'll probably send to a web app or a phone app so the user who's outside the house can check and say, oh, it's just a dog or oh, it's a bugger and you should call the police. So it's also economically and environmentally friendly because there could be a lot of data that's being collected and monitored. And then you could see about oh, how is this? How much electricity am I using? Are these lights being on unnecessarily? Even if it's bright, the lights are still on. So the rest of the paper can also automate that process and switch on the lights if it's too bright or switch off the ACON when it's cold enough already. So moving on, why the Raspberry Pi itself? because it's quite cheap comparatively I think all the electronic parts together a whole automation system can cost as little as $100 and it's really easy to program like not a lot of experience in code is required to be able to understand how all of this runs and it's intelligent which means that as shown by the Simon game any input received will go through certain calculations like it can be math, it can be random, it can be a bunch of modules and then these calculations will be done before generating an input so this input is intelligently generated so based on whatever web application that is customized Python program is being done by the user. It does have a couple of limitations though. The Raspberry Pi GPIO system has a maximum of 5 volts of output so it works perfectly fine for LED lights but if you're talking about a real light in a room you'll have to collect that to release features which will then transfer that to AC power and then of course there will be security issues like I'll show you later right now there's a program that controls the lights here and it can be accessed by pretty much anyone who has the link so there will have to be password or encryption protocols in place to make sure that only the user of the owner of the house can actually control appliances in the house okay so we'll do a little demonstration does anyone here have like a mobile phone or a laptop with Wi-Fi network if you want you can try using this website please not everybody at the same time because it might cause some issues running as of now so this website is accessible by pretty much anyone as of now because there isn't really any security concern so the lights have been turned on and off and that is basically how you expect a home automation set up to work of course with more additional and on it's not just lights but this is what we have so far as a prototype does anyone have any questions if not then you all can feel free to contact me eating the site yeah thanks very much for everyone's attention


Small intestine, we have three parts of our small intestine. That's cool. And I'm just going to show you the distinguishing characteristics of them, the duodenum has an unbelievable number of glands, like crazy glands, like holy glands, like the glands everywhere in the submucosa. And what that means is that you're going to have to identify muscularis mucosii in order to be sure that you are actually in the submucosa looking at all those glands. The ilium in submucosa or lamina propria, has lots of lymphatic nodules, and they have a special name in the ilium. They're called Piers patches. I don't know why they're called something special there, but they're just the lymphatic nodules. But if you see a whole bunch of them, chances are you're in the ilium. Sometimes the large intestine also has lots of lymphatic nodules. I'm here. Well, we'll save the large intestine for the next one. So look for lots of lymphatic nodules. You're in the ilium.  You're in the duodenum. Now, the jejunum is a little bit process of elimination. If it's not those other two, then maybe it's the jejunum. The distinguishing characteristic here is in the mucosa. The villi in the jejunum are long and thin. And something that sometimes happens when the villi are so long and thin is that the slices will cut the villi in these shapes that almost look like you end up with lots of circles toward the lumen. And it almost looks like giraffe skin. And it's because you've caught all these villi at different weird angles.  That happens, too. Okay, so I have a couple of images to show you. Let's see. Does this look like a lot of villi? Dude, this is like a quintessential image of, yeah, those are long, skinny, thin, fine villi. And that's jejunum. Here's the other thing. Here's that thing that I was telling you. This is the lumen of this tube. And you can see those villi just got cut and it almost looks like giraffe skin. If you see something like that, it's significant. Here we have muscularis mucosi, which means that all of this is laminopropria, but this is submucosa deep to or whatever basal to that. And then we've got our big thick layers of smooth muscle there in muscularis externa. But this is jejunum and that is something that might help you decide that. I am going to show you the duodenal glands. I don't have a good slide of the pyre's patches and I'm just going to have to find one and show that to you. But check this out. I'm not even that close up in this slide. This is lumen. This looks epithelial. And then it looks like, yeah, that looks like the mucosa has shifted into submucosa. And let's go check this out because glands like right there and this looks messy. This tissue definitely looks like dense irregular connective tissue and look at all those glands embedded in that submucosa. So that's how you're going to tell your small intestine. I'm going to do the large intestine.


Ladies and gentlemen, Malaysia is keenly aware of the many false roles of porous in addressing and responding to climate change and as part of the holistic approach to implementing sustainable development in Malaysia. Because and foremost, porous and trees play essential role in reducing the impact of extreme weather events. Trees intercept and detain rainfall with subs to prevent and to reduce floods. They also reduce the impact of storm by serving as wind breakers. Underground porous trees root and lead the Serb to stabilize and protect soils from erosion. This role contributes to protecting stream river water quality as well as the integrity of our drainage system. In coastal areas, mangrove and other coastal porous reduce shoreline erosion and the impact of storm surges. Porous play key roles in questuring greenhouse gases, in healthy porous ecosystems quester, copious amount of greenhouse gases and serve as long term sink for these emissions. As reported in Malaysia internal vinyl update report, sequestration by porous in Malaysia in 2011, totaling more than 262 million tons, offset more than 90% of Malaysia's 290 million tons of emissions. Finally porous provide a host of ecosystem services and serve as habitat for Malaysia's mega-biodevacities, flora and porna and play a role in bioremediation. Malaysia's record a long term porous management and conservation. At the Rio Summit in 1992, Malaysia's made a pledge to keep at least half of its land area under porous and green cover. 24 years later, I'm pleased to inform you that Malaysia has delivered fully on this pledge. The complete time series of Malaysia's porous cover from 1990 to the most recent confirmed data of 2014 is transparently reported through website of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Malaysia. Malaysia's natural porous cover as of 2014 stands at 18.27 million hectares or 55.23% of Malaysia's total land area. Malaysia's continued to practice sustainable porous management on both production and protection of porous, promote independence, third-party certification to ensure sustainability. Furthermore, Malaysia continues to identify strategic areas for gazettement as permanent porous under the central porous pines in the Peninsula of Malaysia and the Heart of Borneo Initiative together with Brunei Indonesia in the Borneo. In this way, Malaysia hoped to enhance porous conservation and strengthen connectivity between porous types. Malaysia's interest implementing REDDs plus Red Plus, honorable distinguished guest ladies and gentlemen. We are well acquainted with the fact and retaining land as porous as high opportunity costs. There is always pressure from interested party to convert porous to other land use that could generate long-term economic activities. For this reason, Malaysia regarded the international support for porous as vital and has implemented REDD Plus to gain access to payment for result-based action. To this end, Malaysia has submitted its porous reference level for sustainable management of porous and has successfully completed the technical assessment process that followed. Continuing on the path toward REDD Plus implementation, Malaysia's included as part of its initial vinyl update report, a technical index, an X containing detailed policy information and clear removal and uptake data with view of securing payment for result-based action in accordance with the decision of the 14 CAP.19 of the UNFCC, United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change. Earlier this year, Malaysia completed the initial half of international consultation analysis procedure with include technical analysis of the aforementioned REDD Plus technical annex. In term of the final readiness to implement REDD Plus, Malaysia has implemented a national porous monitoring system and it is advanced stage of preparing its safeguard information system and its national REDD Plus strategy. Finally, Malaysia waits for the Green Climate Fund and REDD Plus guidelines that are due to be out in October of this year. This thing is, ladies and gentlemen, to conclude, Malaysia values its porous highly and moving from regarding porous as commodity to regarding at this unnatural capital. As integral component of sustainability is a rich renewable biobank and natural resources, our porous are also essential backdrop for all the mitigation action that we are implementing in the energy, industrial process, agriculture and waste management sector. Additionally, porous help community to the impact of climate change in implementing REDD Plus will help Malaysia achieve its ambition porous management agenda and obtaining REDD financing under the Green Climate Fund and bilateral sources which will make this ambition a reality. At honorable minister, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.


The wise human human architecture here to our concluding episode of our total volume of nine about the COVID coronavirus combating complicit courtyard catch, I guess we could say with all these seas. And so in these days of lockdowns. We have been dreaming about these spaces because inside is not working so well anymore and outsides, if people don't stay far enough away from us either so these sort of indoor outdoor spaces in places we've been getting excited about it we've been revisiting. So we're broadcasting life again from opposite ends of the world, maybe still back in Germany, and in Long Beach, California, we have our mid century master of courtyards, Ron Lindgren back Iran. Hello Martin, it's been a pleasure to have seen all eight of the previous courtyard covena programs. Well, and you've been an integral and very helpful part of them so thank you for that one. So let's contemplate while phasing out and bring up the first slide here I want to quickly update you on the situation here. Our Chancellor Angela Merkel has just been issued a what she calls a lockdown light, which will still be tired enough for us. And so, back in my hometown, I've been doing basically evidence based design lifecycle assessment. This is a work that I've always been doing, but this year I've been taking my otherwise pretty much locked in their in their in their rooms, emerging generation out there and children around. This is a typology here which will stay open because it's considered to be essential business. This is a local grocery facility just down the street from my son Lenny who was hosting me. Behind this, this this awning there which is helping to keep it cool in the summer and all the glazing help to heat it with a sun in the winter time there's a courtyard that's open to the sky and we always encourage the clients to potentially grow some of their produce out there on their own roof as a suggestion for post pandemic productions and the next slide is the other typology are original initiating typology of public transportation. Lenny we see on his bicycle there. We spotted this very nice Mercedes Benz dealer run that we thought get you excited because it seems like you guys could have been designing that one of your German projects. Very nice mid century piece. And you see our tram station projects we did for the x point 2000 again I was walking the emerging generation up close to check it out. Public transportation isn't as much of a virus spreader as we think, because people are pretty much practicing the distancing and wearing masks, different than when they're just private and they're just, you know, letting all go and just forget about any of the measures we should take these days. So, let's get to the next slide because then I was telling Lenny about a, a childhood memory of when one of my jobs to in college was the emergency newspaper delivery guy whenever someone got sick I got up and and ventured out to neighborhoods that I hadn't been before. And so I remember this one here and last week we were remembering our good colleague and friend and hero, Steve owl who has just passed away. And so it reminded me of another fine character of my culture who we just lost his name was always dying he was a cartoonist. And he was famous for these mice here that you see at the very, at the very top. And so we drove by Lenny Citron we drove by we also spotted this this our feet are our for no for that they were making from the mid 60s early 60s till to late 90s so for almost 30 years. So, it's prime time was in the 70s and so we can only imagine was this house but we shine, who is a brutalist courtyard house, again, in temperate climate. That's how you grew up run and the cold heartland I mean not, you know, emotionally cold but climatically cold heartland. And so similar here and what we're saying, you know you like that a lot we were talking before the show because you said this is a exquisite example of the kind of, you know, evolution of your guys case study houses back in California in in the 50s and 60s where you kept the houses brother opaque to the street. There's only this mousehole slip that you can get and you were saying wow it seems really nice and attracted back there like a little oasis courtyard paradise. So we're saying, if you can do this in cold Germany, we should be able to do this in California and in Hawaii more right. I agree. And so let's move on to the next slide. And this is we're missing the soda today but for good reason don't worry because he has to give a tour at his work and this is his workplace the Bishop Museum and places that you run had said, you know, although you've been there multiple times you haven't discovered them so they must be somewhere hidden that discrete. So these are the courtyards that the soda can share from his very personal, everyday life work experience. And the next slide is the what he, when we started to to be get ourselves excited about courtyards this is what he first thought of and these are the images he provided beginning, and these are additional institutional courtyards of museums and and what are your thoughts about museum courtyards, Ron. Yeah, even though I didn't have the pleasure never had the pleasure of seeing what's at the Bishop Museum as far as courtyards. The Honolulu Fine Arts Academy is certainly one of my favorite places, because for me at least, it solves that general problem that the public has with being just burnt out museum fatigue, but here you you look at the art. You're ready to leave. You don't need to you glance out in these beautiful courtyards, get refreshed and go on to the next masterpiece in the museum. Wonderful space. Especially in COVID times, they're especially convenient right because you might not, you know, be able to be inside as much as you, you didn't even want to begin with as you were sharing but probably not even less and courtyards that you breathe again literally and figure speaking. So, let's go to the next slide and have you run sort of recap. One of your most famous courtyards and this show we want to conclude because we said, you know, in Hawaii and probably anywhere else we got to keep the country country and make the city a city. So, guys, and you in particular as well with his projects have been doing urban courtyards. Let's recap your masterpiece helical Lonnie a little bit to that regard. Yeah, the privilege I had to work on the holiday colony. I really consider the thing that I'm most proud of, but in designing the holiday hotel my Japanese client only had one one sentence program requirement, besides the number of guest rooms. The first was that I would create a luxurious elegant and quiet sanctuary in the heart of busy high rise white key key.  So for the first and unfortunately the last time in my architectural career. I wasn't just designing a building in space, but I was creating spaces with buildings. And of course those spaces were courtyards. And if you look up at the upper left. This is a view of one of the two courtyards as seen from the hotel's vehicle entry, which is the Port Couchere. So from the Port Couchere you step out of your car go up a few steps and suddenly you're looking out over an expansive lawn a swimming pool terrace and the open ocean beyond. And then on the upper right is the second courtyard. Now that one happens to be the hotel's pedestrian entrance, which I created as an open air tile roof pavilion. And the lawns in the view are extending to what is the hotel's prime jewel. And that is CW Dickies 1932 louis house, which we completely renovated and remodeled. And that too was the only time in my career where I got to to take on the challenge and the merit of historic preservation. We want to move to the next slide. Yeah, let's move to the next slide please. The next slide at the lower right is showing the site plan for the hotel and the two courtyards are identified. And again, those courtyards are facing out to the south and to the open ocean that swimming pool courtyard shows up on the upper on the lower left. And Kelly's worst desired swimming pool designs, which are always oval. And then my happy contribution is up on the on the upper right, because most of the public circulation at the ground level of the hotel is in is in covered porticoes as shown here. And they were designed to simulate the sort of measured measured cadence of walking through gardens, or alongside a closer courtyard courtyard courtyard courtyard courtyard. What an opportunity at the Holly colony. And the next slide. Here's where Martin you'll probably want to jump in to at the lower right.  But what it's really showing is that instead of muscle draperies and the tropics that we use sliding wood doors with operable wood louvers, and they're a fine tropical alternative to you know musty curtains. And every guest room might have had a Juliet balcony but if it did, it would also have had a full size outdoor room a full manai. And that's where the hotel encouraged the guest to indulge in room service meals. When when the hotel service breakfast to these guests at a luxury hotel. This is incredible source of hotel profit at the lower left. We're showing the orchards restaurant which is located in the louvers house, and right at the most desirable designing locations of the dining locations. That is those with the best diamondhead view or the ocean view. We built additional designing dining spaces with informal waterproof fabric roofs as you see, and they were stretched over minimal steel frames. This was a wonderfully informal way to have those outer dining areas at the upper left Martin you might remember that on a very early morning. You took a picture down lures road to show what is one of my proudest proudest design moments at the Holly colony. That's the fact when a visitor first sees the hotel at the southern end of lures road, where it makes a T intersection with clear road. The initial experience is memorably low key and surprisingly residential. All that the first timer sees is open sky above an elegant Hawaiian home, sheltered beneath the Dickey roof. That same picture in the upper left is a waterfall feature that I developed. As you walk up the steps to the entry pavilion for pedestrians, and it's a waterfall that completely wipes out any noise that comes from the street. Right. This is, this is a sort of painful photo for me because we all know that in the planned upcoming renovation of the hotel, which is going to happen sometime during the pandemic lockdown. I'm really hoping that original features aren't lost.  And they add such a fine residential character to the experience of the hotel as the Holly colony that I hope in the remodeling that that isn't lost. Absolutely. And thanks for sharing, you know, walking us through this slide here just making us aware of reminding us that good architecture gets better the closer you get to it. So, you know, not just the macro of a courtyard form and performance is important, but it's detailing and it's fine grained and you guys that you masterfully did. And since the show wants to, if anything, encourage the audience to discover more along the same subjects, Ron, we got us, you know, back and forth excited about another courtyard master, who is Joseph Eichler. And you in particular went out and bought books and did some more studying and and through the next couple of slides and let's go to the next one. Yeah, in the spirit of humane and healthy architecture that incorporates courtyards our main topic for the last nine weeks. I believe that another topic from a previous program deserves greater scrutiny. And as you are saying, I'm speaking of the many tracked housing courtyard homes that Joseph Eichler built at the age of 45. Eichler began an entirely new career. He ultimately built 11,000 homes in track subdivisions in the San Francisco Bay region. This was the mid century modern era of the 50s and 60s. He, he actually managed and that's his why he's such a hero to me. He delivered affordable mass produced houses that retain the look and the feel of much more expensive custom homes for middle class buyers who couldn't themselves afford the personal service of architects. And so the homes were distinctive for being consistently very modern and appearance that innovative features and affordable construction techniques. For example, in the slides, you can see there that exposed posts and beam construction was used. That allowed for a very quick erection and flat plan flexibility indoors, and a sort of clear stripped down order to both the exterior and the interior spaces. The early industrial process of mass construction was created in which each house site was the stationary assembly line. 12 building crews, each with a different construction specialty arrived at the site at set times from the beginning to the remarkably rapid completion of each house. And so, standard construction details, for example, for doors or windows and roofs were used no matter what type of house was being built. Some building materials were prefabricated, such as the Philippine mahogany plywood panels, which covered almost all interior walls slab on grade foundation contained radiant heat potting in the concrete. And frankly, that was a largely post war innovation. But a greatest interest to us is the fact that open interior planning was paired with indoor outdoor relationships through entire walls of glass. The most salient and popular feature of these homes was the inclusion of a private outdoor atrium. Now atrium actually originally just meant a central hall in an ancient Roman house, but for Eichler's sales marketing team, it was a fancy word for, you guessed it, courtyard. Though many Eichler homes were flat roofed, the most popular models incorporated sheltering gabled roofs and a comforting evocation of the traditional house form. People were just comfortable with that. And Eichler relied completely on architects Robert Anson and a Quincy Jones of for the home designs and for the site planning for all of his modern housing tracks. And also very unusual for the time, landscape architects developed the properties fully from lot line to lot line, because usually the developer left the ground around the house to weeds and the imagination of the new owners. Now, each new housing tract and their individual home designs were constantly studied so that they could be improved upon from the lessons learned from what they perceived as successes and failures. This included the very careful study of post owner evaluations as to livability and consumer satisfaction. Next slide please. In the upper left, next to Martin's bare face is Joseph Eichler himself. Besides pioneering new home construction techniques, Eichler was the very first speculative post war developer to incorporate real community planning methods into his subdivisions. Generally, other people of his ilk building subdivisions would simply strive to jam as many one eighth or one quarter acre home sites onto a property, as was possible. But I clear correctly felt and I quote him, fostering social coherence and buyer satisfaction meant reforming the land use and physical planning of suburban residential landscapes. In his developments, there was a higher density of housing than usual, and this freed up some open spaces for communal use. Also homes were often planning clusters so they could preserve some shared open space for common facilities right in the center of the housing track. Now, these amenities included things like shared landscapes of a wooded park, recreation center buildings and nursery school, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Importantly, a feeling of community spirit would grow up around the idea of shared owner investment. Now that might seem old hat but at the time that was a very new idea in the 50s and 60s shared owner investment and where you live. If you look at the lower left. He also used unusual roadway and cul-de-sac arrangements. And they were provided. One of the most unusual, which was actually built was this concentric ring pattern. And it conveyed to residents a sense of sharing in a larger whole and other words your house was part of the circle or part of the art of. It also slowed traffic down considerably, and that greatly increased children's safety when just playing outdoors or walking home from school, like the two kids there on the lower right. All power lines were buried below grade, and that also was a relatively new practice for beautifying housing tracks. Next slide please. The vast majority of housing tracks had no, or I should say, Eichler's modern housing tracks did not have racial covenants. But the vast majority of those people who were mass housing merchant builders and their banks and lenders, they wanted, I quote, homogenous, stable neighborhoods which would hold their property values. These very fine sounding words are actually racial dog whistles, which mean, of course, simply that no people of colors or Jews would be allowed to live there. For Eichler, his anti-discriminatory stance wasn't really a personal crusade, but just part of his congressional business practice. That liberal practice included the hiring of handicapped workers when possible, and also employing furloughed convicts as day laborers and apprentice carpenters. In summary, Joseph Eichler, someone I'm ashamed to say that I knew nearly nothing about, goes from zero to hero for me, having built neighborhoods that brought the look and spirit of the case study houses to affordable track developments. Next slide please, and that yours. Well, it's ours and you said you don't recall that space and it might have been around when or not anymore when you were working in the heart of our city in Honolulu. So, this gets us back to the urban because we want to encourage courtyards to be implemented also in the heart of the city. This wasn't what it's now Kakaako, and this is by Hogan and Chapman, mostly known for their fine pen and building on Kapiolani Boulevard. So on the right side, which you remember, as you said you had one of your consultants having in his office in there. That was Steve ours very fine word Plaza that unfortunately was torn down fairly fairly recently. So these are great. One of my one of it's not a failure but when I had meetings with my electrical consultant who had an office there I think on the second floor. I always got there early so early that I could sit in that courtyard and decompress and enjoy the wonderful space before I went up to sometimes very contentious meetings with consultants. No, you're right. And so having to speed up and conclude here, let's go to the next slide. Once again, I almost forgot a courtyard we've been doing for mentally disabled children, actually a multitude of different courtyards, open ones to the sky, covered ones with a new innovative material of ETFE, or another one with that same material on the on the right that's open to the end so the kids, as you can see they're bundled up and cold climate could still enjoy the outdoors. So that in mind. Next slide. I'm remembering Steve out for many things, but as well for what he had proposed for Kaka Akka which you can call pretty much stack line eyes of courtyard T character. And that reminded us very much of the proposal run you guys have been done and you've been sharing which we see at the bottom right which were high rise stack line eyes for Singapore right. So by the similar similarity of Steve house plan for that stack line eyes housing, as it related to the plan of one of the penthouse units at the Singapore condominium that we built very similar and having many different prospects, a lot of light and air coming in from all directions. And you said so nicely, yet you built, you should have built and one should build this like they should build the Steve out towers, at least one of them and we're saying you know how would you should do that but also come here to school. The other large landowner on the island they should do one of these as a tribute to to Steve. Let's go to the next slide Ron and and you recap. Pretty much how you took that original mid century case study house courtyard theme of Ed and France and how you basically evolve that through your body of work which we see on. These quick. Yeah, the fact is that the success of projects that came out of the killings worth office. They had a single common feature, and that was the use of courtyards, but the fact is that memorable hotel courtyards could be of several different types. For example at the bottom right is the Ilani hotel, where the courtyard is a very vertiginous 17 story atrium to the lower left is Larry strippers designed for a lobby atrium which was open to the sky. We discussed this sadly because the original tropical experience there that you see in the very far left was an evocation of a Hawaiian paradise, but it's been lost in a recent urban gentrification up at the upper left. You see the 1967 call apartments, and there the courtyards that were only 30 foot wide between four foot high apartments or condominiums. The privacy was provided only by the fact that those courtyards were filled with tall dense tropical planet or landscape. And you can see the color hilton off in the distance from our good friend and very fine photographers apartment, Andrea Britsie. And last at the upper right is another type of courtyard we really haven't discussed. That's a motor courtyard. This, this was a model view of the couple obey hotel, which does not exist anymore, but to create a memorable arrival experience there a very large. Exactly square motor court was built with an open portico structure that went all the way around it, and was hung with flowering and scented vines of. I was a project architect on that hotel and I miss it dearly. Next slide. We do to run and let's tear down what they replaced it with and rebuild yours. So having to phase out here I just want to quickly share where this could you know where this tradition could evolve, and how your guys, you know legacy could live on through the emerging generation. This here is again referring to at the very bottom left. Starting with add you know he made this brilliant courtyard proposal for indigenous Latin American. You know, people that also wasn't built. And in that tradition we developed along the same lines the basically clustered cargo courtyard cabanas where you use cargo steel you stack them on top of each other. Always leaving the void of the by one and one free methodology.  And last but not at all these at the very last picture here. This is primitive a one, which is pretty much an extruded donut and has this very long linear courtyard that what you see behind me that little surreal picture looks pretty psychedelic Halloween coming up. We're suggesting to every so three to four floors to knit in the stainless steel mesh that that would, you know function as a trampoline for for the kids and and provides safety and a lot of fun. So what we're trying to say Ron is that again there's a rich tradition of courtyards around the world, Roman, the Greek, the Egyptian, the Chinese you name them and the American very recently as you have been masterly manifesting. And we we urge the emerging generation to pick it up from there and come up with their very own courtyard theme interpretations, which again seems so timely and in the claws of covert to be in these beautiful places that you outdoors, they're easy breezy and easy breezy. So we say that's the way to go and create more shows for your own make volume 1112 and so on about courtyards. And until then, run, stay, you know pray for next week election day. Also stay cool literally and figuratively because the wildfires have been picked up so in all of that, keep up your great sanity and safety. And I'll see you soon for another show, as you know we won't let you off the hook. So there are more to come in the future. Thanks for the good wishes. Bye now. All right, bye bye.


Live from Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE, covering Red Hat Summit 2017, brought to you by Red Hat. Welcome to the session wrap of the Red Hat Summit. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, Stu Miniman, wrapping up three great days of open source talk. Where are we, Stu? Tell us the state of Red Hat, the state of open source, what have we learned? You mean beyond we're in the seaport district of Boston, Massachusetts. We're a couple blocks away from the new open innovation lab coming from Red Hat. So, Rebecca, it's been a lot of fun with you these last couple of days. I feel the same way. Did over 30 interviews, executives from Jim Whitehurst, on down to many of the product teams. Many people are participating greatly in open source, open innovation award winners. The women of open source award winners, open innovation lab participants, a lot of topics. But, okay, Red Hat itself. I've worked with Red Hat in various roles in my career for quite a long time. We didn't talk a lot about Linux this week. Stu, Stu, Stu, I've got to stop you. Linux is containers, containers is Linux. We're hearing so much about containers. It's the same diff. Yeah, well, I got the t-shirt, Linux is containers, containers are Linux. However, if I even look at Red Hat's messaging, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is like the first platform what they build around. And it's a little surprising that they didn't, at least in the conversation we had, it was very much about some of the newer things. Coming into the show, I said, what's the progress that they've made around some of the cloud offerings, some of the management offerings, Ansible weaving its way into a lot of the products. OpenShift really maturing and expanding the portfolio of things like the OpenShift IO to be able to really help with application modernization. Middleware progressing, even heard a little bit of a future where they're doing things like serverless. So Red Hat's making good progress. We love when we do these shows multiple years is they talk about it, do they deliver on it? And you know, a couple of guys talked about there's a little bit more transparency and open source and being part of all of these communities, you have some visibility as to where you're going. It doesn't mean that things don't slip every now and again and not every piece makes it into the product lease that they're expecting. But they've made great progress. Linux still is just a mainstay. It's a piece of lots of environments. The ecosystem reminds me of some way that I talk about OpenStack, which we'll go into next week. We had a great session with Radesh towards the end here talking about OpenStack in many ways is like that. It's weaving its way into lots of infrastructure pieces, some will dig into more this week, but let's focus on this week for now. Yeah. Right, so you said we didn't talk a lot about Linux. I said just straight there. But what else did we, what did you not hear? What do you remain skeptical of? As you said, Red Hat seems to be going from strength to strength. It had 2.4 billion in revenue this year. Yeah, and for 2016, 2.4 billion in revenue and 3 billion in bookings. Right. And there was, I read a financial report that Jim Whitehurst said the goal of the company is 5 billion within five years. And you look at it and say, okay, from 2.4 to 5, well, you know, actually if it was 3 billion in bookings, and I think back to three years ago when we first started, it was around 2 billion dollars, that was almost a 50% growth rate in three years. So if the three years from now we do 50% growth rate, we're going to have 3 to 4.5. Of course, the math's not linear. They're scaling of the company. There's lots of products in here, but they've got a big tam. Ambitious but achievable. Ambitious but achievable. The question we've had for a bunch of years is when I look at the cloud, public cloud is affecting a lot of the traditional infrastructure companies. Red Hat is a software company. They're an open source company. We heard the cloud messaging. Microsoft and Google up on stage, Andy Jassy on video. That was a big question coming in. What about Amazon? How close will Red Hat do? Amazon actually has their own AMI for Linux, which means I can get a package for Linux from Amazon. Not only that, I could take that package outside of Amazon and put it in the data center so I could use the same type of Linux for AWS to work with Red Hat to take Redshift, make what's deeper integration in the public cloud with AWS. And if I put that on premises, I'm going to have access to the AWS services so that tighter application integration for what they're laying out, really the open hybrid cloud. Red Hat terminology, we'll see if other people take that up, but really it's a multi-cloud world. And Red Hat has a good position to live in lots of those environments and provide, really help solutionize and give really that almost adult supervision that the enterprise wants for all of these open packages. So I was heartened to see the progress made, strong ecosystem, as always passionate, customers, developers and really just heartwarming stories of making the world a better place. What would you take on those pieces? Yeah. Yes, absolutely. And those are really what you come away remembering. It is the story of a woman saving a man's life in a park in Singapore. It is the story of an emergency room doing a better job of serving its patients. It is scaling up technology use in the developing world. I mean, these are, this is what you come away with. And you say that is open source. Maybe next year that Apple you get at the grocery store won't have been sitting there 18 months. Well, maybe. We're going to code climate. Boston's going to be beautiful and year round. No, but so I really do agree. And that is, I think, what Red Hat did so brilliantly at this summit is really showcasing the ways in which this technology is having an impact of transforming industries, obviously helping businesses make more money, but also really doing a lot of good. Yeah, absolutely. And Rebecca, I want a big shout out to the community here. This is a community show. Red Hat is a great participant of the community. We talked to Jim Whitehurst. They want to help raise up the community. It's not about Red Hat leadership. We don't hear number one at a show like this.  We heard about open power, how excited they are that Red Hat, getting involved and working in some of these pieces. So we could not be here without Red Hat support. It's our fourth year doing this show. We had a blast with it. We see Red Hat at a lot of shows. They bring us great customers, their ecosystem partners and their executives and it's been a pleasure to cover it. Yeah, no, I couldn't agree more and I do think just in terms of what you're talking about, the humility of the Red Hat folks is that they aren't going around banging drums of we're number one in this and number one in that and you sort of think, okay, blah, blah. No, they don't at all. They really are saying, no, we're about making our partners and our customers shine. Yeah, what's going to happen with the future of jobs? Where are people going to work these days in the future? What kind of processes will they work? We're all said it's very much a global ecosystem here. We've got to interview quite a few international guests here and hear how technology spreading, how people are interacting, how innovation happens in a global environment. I'm sure it ties back to a lot of the things that you write about. No, absolutely, and I think that that is, I mean, Redesh, some of his words of wisdom was, technology is the easy part. What we need to be fundamentally rethinking is how we write these applications, how we develop these applications, how we design them and how we deliver them and also really bearing in mind the end user. And that is, I think also what we learned and also a lot of our other sessions is really thinking about that. We heard from another person, you know, your competitor is maybe not necessarily the competitor you're thinking of. It's the last app you opened or the last application that that company was using and what is drawing them toward that application or that technology or that infrastructure and not yours. And so it's really thinking much more broadly about technology and who you're competing with and how you're working. Yeah, it was a bank, I love that. They were like, we're not competing against other banks. It's like, where's that other attention span that you have? Where are your eyeballs? We know, one of my favorite lines is, you know what, you, Michael Angelo and Einstein have in common, you only have 24 hours in a day so you need to make sure you take advantage of that. That's the kind of thing that when you leverage the community, I thought it's inspiring is, we can do great things, you know, if we work together and do that. So we're always like, oh, I'm too busy or I don't have time. It's like, you know, hogwash, that's not the case. I'm inspired and fired up after all the conversations we had, especially some of these great users here and looking forward to the next one. You're looking forward to the next one, you're looking forward to OpenStack coming up. Yeah, oh my gosh. So, right, Rebecca, you know, next week, we're both going to be on theCUBE but in two different locales. Our team is in the midst of, you know, the sprint that is the spring tour. So we had the Micron event and we're here next week. Our team is at Service Now Knowledge. We're also at Dell EMC World in Vegas. We're at OpenStack Summit back in Boston. We've got some of our teams going to Microsoft Build and I'm sure we'll have analyst reports followed from there. Boy, do we have more shows than I could mention through the rest of May and June and beyond. Check out SiliconANGLE.tv to catch all of them. You know, Rebecca, I'm going to let you do the close but I have to say big thanks to our team here and remote Leonard, Chuck, Alex, Ava. We love you all.  We were doing some cool things playing with Facebook live as part of this event. We always love, you know, playing around with some of the new technologies, finding more ways that we can help reach you. We always appreciate your feedback. And Rebecca, take us on home. Thank you so much for joining us here at the Cube Red Hat Summit Boston, Massachusetts. I'm Rebecca Knight for Stu Miniman. Thanks so much.


Hell no, this is how you know I'm late to the party. How's it going everybody? Dottonoi here today. We got a react to the new sparking zero trailer I've been avoiding it all day and some stuff to take care of I had to duck my head in real life But let's just go into it They've also did a presentation covering a whole ton of stuff, but yeah, I'll watch that after this for now It's trailer. Let me sit back and enjoy So are the character slots actually up? Oh, they didn't show the full picture. Oh drugs Let's go they got the English dub on this too is that no way super trunks is in the game Oh, bro, you know this game looks amazing. This poll looks really good there.   She was in the beach up page, but how did she make it in the game?  He just kind of looks like, you know, I mean this is for the Dragon Ball world But he looks well toned Nice original coming off Nice. All right, wasn't the most impressive beam, but oh look at this city stage Wait, what this looks too good Birder, oh No, bro. Oh, no, I want to pause and look back at that Birder really still talking like he's the fastest in the universe. They got telephone gameplay. Oh No, bro on the city stage looks so good. Ah Jays to iconic. Oh the double no wait team attacks Oh They jump in this man. They never gave them the respect for what I want. Damn the purple common attack Wow, they just ran into him. They didn't even fire the beams out of it Okay, but this is the best trailer of all time maybe for any game ever this just will not stop Full power. Oh, wow. Are they a tag team? Tell me we had a team attack Non-canon team attacks would go crazy. Oh Oh, that wasn't even a team attack. They were just beefing Damn, they just won't stop. They won't stop. It's too much It's too much. You gotta give me a break You don't end the trailer though. I was joking. I was joking. Okay, but when are we getting the next trailer like this? Oh, look at the city back No, the city stage might actually be the most hyped thing I seen Is anybody else with me on that the city stage might be the most hyped thing I saw Dude, does that mean we're gonna get the whole ginyu for like are we actually gonna get to play as gold? Again. Oh sand land. You already know i'ma buy sand land, bro. I already got the collector's edition pre-order Hold on. I gotta go back and watch i'll go into the let me calm down I'll go into the the powerpoint presentation later I need to see this nap attack again this this as well as the city stage might be the most hype I was bro. Hold on. Let me slow it down. Let me get the let me get the music out here Look at this bro. Look at this first of all the city stage Look at these destructible buildings and it breaks when napa cleaves through it. Nah, dude This is too crazy This is too crazy I need to see that again. Was is this not the most impressive thing from the trailer?  But maybe like it was like that one hit was supposed to hit burger.   He's got the same cup, bro I've seen this exact same string done on me in bt2 and bt3. Look at it. The the leg drop kick The references are crazy. Damn. Look at the destructibility though and the they even got traffic lights They got a walking sign, bro. This map is insane Did tobo do anything in this trailer? Did he just do the tornado spin? I think that's all I remember Wow, he bro did not get a lot of screen time I need to see this team attack one more time too Damn And the purple comet attack instead of firing key blast like it's done in every other dragon ball game That's stant dude the thumbnail shot Nah bros acting like these two are popular enough to go on a thumbnail, but they might have to with this But what it did bro Oh my god, the the purple comet actually works better as a collision based attack I like that a lot more than the key blast and then the super saint camp Dude She thinks she going on a thumbnail too. The game just looks too good. Oh, let me get the pause shot.  That's crazy. I can't wait to go break down the uh the actual the the 12 minute gameplay stuff Is going to be wild I'm really standing here like this is the the whole thing. I think I pretty much had my fill of that I accidentally paused on another great thumbnail shot Damn, okay. All right. All right. Let's switch over to the 12 minute time to dive headfirst into an epic confrontation between the two iconic Right. Oh my god.  Oh It looks so good in motion What the hell Okay, that looked a little weird when they were clashing, but that's fine. Nice. Would you have got behind him? And the ui is pretty minimalistic Oh what a combo. How do you blink that? No shot. He blinks that nice Oh, oh look at the charge up. Hold on max charge Nice the movement itself looks really good. Like when you're flying around that looks like you have a good sense of control Oh the charge up on the b. Oh and it bends. Why did it bend? You can't miss in this game Bro, that actually looks a lot better. It looks like the beam bends automatically. How's that? And he getting his look at the damage on the battle damage on vegeta is also crazy Whoa, whoa It kind of bent up to hit him. Okay, so the beams look like they auto lock on And the movement looks so good. All right. They cut ahead a little bit how to let goku move around The stages look so much more dynamic in this game Oh the weather the the weather changing when they're at max key like when they're in burst mode It looks like there's honestly, it looks like there's some raging blast dna built into this uh Or just some raging blast like that looked crazy good final flash.  That's nuts Super say no blue Dude this game looks even better in motion The trailers didn't do it justice Behind the back gotta get this combo Show us the combo route knockdown wait boost raging blast dna. I guess that was also in uh budakai never mind Nice just staying at rush attack 14k for that's a little wild, but I guess I don't know what the numbers mean in this game Okay, another galley gun just a block. Oh a block into a deflect Oh, he's got to kick it up into blue two Battle damage vegeta looks nuts dude. This is this is even better than the original trailer. What the hell's happening? Oh Nice, let's go Big combos nice I just like seeing the movement in the combos. Oh he interrupts it Get that weak stuff out of here All right, another combo from vegeta here looking pretty good. Nice. You he countered it. He looks like he blocks into a counter Oh my god the tell okay. I'm getting mixed in real life, bro The teleportation is too smooth in this game. I'm cooked Oh, he's going max power Oh, he's in he's in tapped in the weather's got to change now Oh and the music goes crazy too Break it.  Oh, let's go. They broke the dimension Oh, they hit the suit. They hit the broly movie, bro No way goku wins. Of course. He wins. That's my go that look at the hair physics No, this game is too good The hair physics Oh That was too good Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, you guys got me. Is that is that going to be everything? Let me do a quick pass through in the video see if they mention anything other than that I'm good to tap out battle system such as dragon dash enables high speed movement I mean, yeah, and the iconic counter system. I noticed all that stuff too. They they have that all included Impact action. Okay, okay beam clash, bro. Oh, it's a bit Wait, I didn't notice. Hold on. We got to go back to the beam clash I was too hyped. I didn't even notice that they actually just saved the day. No way No way. Look at the beam clash guys. Look They were looking out for old men like us now. Look, we're not young anymore.  Look if you time it at the max you get better It's not thank god.  Oh, he's so cooked now Oh, he's so cooked. I don't have to be afraid anymore. Let's go. Let's go. All right Let me skip back game keeps the core mechanics of the series. But after some considerations, we've tweaked some I don't mind that you you need to tweak some stuff All right, gonna break down four of the details here One of the biggest changes was to the boost in the normal movement making it as fast as the dash in the previous series Wow I like it. I like it. Gonna give some more skill display for sure Like look at how fast they move man. You get like micro dashes dodging opponents attack with a short dash Yeah, you got that micro that that's awesome. That's a great shape. Look at the key blast. Ah These guys were in the kitchen cooking also introduces actions by skill count. Oh, you just get an armor attack cheap Oh, and you have like all weight it builds up so you can use skills on the fly That's like an actual fighting game That's like an actual competitive game mechanic right there and you can only deflect beams with and now it actually is cool Now it actually makes sense in raging blasts You could just do that anytime you block the beam and overall walk cool Yes, it was kind of pointless, but now it costs skill gauge to use It costs too. That might be a little expensive for that like all you do is avoid chip damage Then I guess that's still really sick. That's a great change vanishing assault. So what do you do? Oh, you vanish from far away up close and it cost one bar. Okay.  I'm really liking this new skill gauge. The skill gauge is so smart It's gonna. Oh that adds so much that adds so much Yes, it like what like he's saying this is gonna make the game so much more strategic. No, they They they were really cooking, but these guys are talented Okay, so after that is just the character trailer, which we already watched but honestly, I'm satisfied, dude I'll leave the trailer playing in the background But we're just gonna talk our way out of this because god damn bro This trailer and this gameplay showcase was exactly what we needed exactly what we needed Not only did we need the characters the killer characters are always hype They got us with that one But overall the the gameplay breakdown and that Goku versus Vegeta stuff perfect shows how the game moves I didn't have any complaints. I have no complaints. Maybe it could be a little hard to track when all the vanishings going around But at the end of the day, that's like a a comfortability thing. That's like a skill issue thing That's all stuff. I'm gonna learn when the game comes out So I can't be more impressed the city stage is so good. No, they cooked they cooked That was an absolute That was a pin. That was a that was a game changing moment. They they could not have done a better job And I'm gonna say that with 100 confidence They could not have done any better than they did today. I guess other than a release date Are they gonna announce a release date at the end of this? Hold on. Let me skip forward. Let me skip forward Let me see if they have the release date in the full trailer. I I guess they probably wouldn't wishlist now No trailer sand land dragon ball fighters netcode update and then breakers So no no release date. So I guess they could have done a little better But honestly if they need more time, they are very clearly cooking. Let them talk bro. Let let them let them take their time That's gonna do it for me. Let me know down below in the comments If you guys saw anything you didn't like but I I already know let's mostly talk about what we did like There was a lot to talk about Hopefully you guys enjoyed this video Leave a like subscribe if you want to see more on this game because I will definitely be covering it Every step along the way and of course playing the game when it comes out a ton with that said I've been Dada do it. I'll see you guys in the next one


My relationship with queer youth programs affects my peers in a lot of ways in that most of the people that I talk to I just naturally educate them about trans issues because no one a lot of people just don't know about trans issues the way ideally everyone should and so I'm always educating and so I feel like my relationships are broadened and people I think oftentimes come to me for that type of information. Well the organization that I'm involved with right now other than my private practice is the Santa Cruz transgender therapist team and so we actually all get together to consult on how to work with queer youth and queer families and families of queer youth and how to really make a better space for them, a safer space for them. Can I do this and over again? I'll do this one again. So the organization that I'm involved in that other than my private practice is the Santa Cruz transgender therapist team and so we all get together on a periodic basis in order to consult and also just to talk about how we can help work with queer youth and their families and help create a better and safer space really in Santa Cruz County for that. Well the people that I work with called the Santa Cruz transgender therapist team we get together and we all have clients that are trans-oriented and families that work with them and I think my dream would be that every therapist in all of Santa Cruz County really knows about trans issues and not that they're gender specialists but that they at least have the ability to know how to be culturally competent with trans issues and at least know to refer out or how to work with them in a way that's just effective and safe for all trans people here in Santa Cruz. I first realized that I was gay identified when I was 17 however most of my work nowadays seems to be working with and being an ally for the trans community and that came about about almost 20 years ago at this point where I've been working with trans youth and their families in order to create a safer space for them really and to just allow them to blossom and grow in a way that all of our society really should. My favorite movie is The Matrix and I just think it has a psychological depth to it and a spirituality which I'm impressed by but you know it's it's interesting that years later you know Lana Wachowski came out as trans herself and and I don't know if you saw it but her her interview on that she gave her acceptance speech for the award for HRC is one of the most inspiring speeches I've ever heard. My favorite color I haven't answered this question since high school is turquoise blue probably because I'm from New Mexico and so it allows me just it just gives me joy whenever I wear it although I'm not wearing it today this is a different color blue.


Welcome to my talk about the automatic update for LibreOffice that I'm working on. It's one of these features that has been requested for quite some time by users. And I've been working on it now for a bit more than a year. I've already talked a bit about it a year ago. This time I will talk about what's still open and why it's not ready for LibreOffice 6.0. Let's start with the motivation, why working on an automatic update, at least from my side. I did the work on the crash reporter. That here is our reports that we got during, I think, the last month. And the one that you see here that's much higher than the other versions is 5.2.4. A version that is not supported anymore. There's actually a newer 5.2 version. There's 5.2.7 that has a lot of bug fixes and so on. You can see we are now here, 5.2 was released. I think somewhere beginning of 2017 or even still in 2016. And despite of that, we still have a lot of people using an old version that contains a lot of crashes. Each of these persons that's using 5.2.4 gets for each crash a dialogue when they start the next time. And still they don't update. So from these data we see obviously we need to help users so that they stay up to date automatically. I will quickly talk about the different components of the automatic update and then talk about which components are not working. The main focus will be on the not working parts. So how does the update actually work? We are reusing the Mozilla code. It's called MAR based updater because the file format that they use for the update files are MAR files. I have merged the code to master I think half a year ago. And you can enable it with this minus minus enable online update is equal to MAR. And compared to my last presentation about that, we are now using always an own process for the updating. So we have our LibreOffice that does the downloading of the update file but then updating the running LibreOffice instance is not done anymore on Linux. It's now always that we hand the task over to the updater process.  What we already do is we distribute daily builds with the updater enabled for Linux and for Windows. The Linux builds are currently done on Jenkins. They are automatic. The Windows builds are done manually because they are still a bit fragile. They sometimes have issues with our Windows build that the scripts were originally written for Linux. So I am still working on that and that means also because I need to spend some time for each Windows build that they are not that regular as the Linux builds. For Linux, there's one build a day. So you get about, I think, midnight German time that the Jenkins job starts and tries to build a new build and does an incremental update for the last three days. If we look at the incremental updates, we see that they are quite small. So a full build is about 180 megabytes. Let's build here and the incremental updates that are generated are between 1 and 10 megabytes. The 10 megabytes happens, for example, if someone decides to include new images or something like that or if someone changes a huge part of the code. So how does the update work? We have our running LibreOffice or all the work for the automatic update happens during startup basically to avoid that we would need to restart LibreOffice later on when someone has already done some work in a document. So as early as possible we request from our update server that's running on TDF infrastructure we send the server, our build ID, our language packs that we need and the update server tells us whether there's an update inside of a small snippet. Instead of what's written there it's actually JSON and that snippet then contains the location of the update files size and hash. In a second step we then ask the LibreOffice download server or in the future most likely our mirror network for the download file and download these files. And that's basically the point when the LibreOffice process is done and hands over now to the update process that we use our update files to generate a new LibreOffice. If we look a bit closer what I described right now is basically that first green block and what's shown here is actually what happens on Windows because the update service and privileged update executable is only available on Windows. We hand over to our updater, the updater applies at least on Linux directly our incremental update and starts the new LibreOffice. On Windows it's a bit more complicated because usually we are installed in one of the system locations and the normal user can't update our installation. So what we do is, what we should do, it's not implemented yet, is call and service. That's installed when we install LibreOffice that more or less grants us privileges to update the file in a system location. So now I'm getting to the parts of the updater work that are not done yet. I already mentioned that the updater service is a huge missing piece. It builds already, it's also taken from the Mozilla code, but it needs a lot of low level adaptions for our LibreOffice build process. Mozilla does not ship MSI files, so there's still a lot to do to integrate this updater service with our MSI process, with our MSI generation. That's one of the main blocking things that prevented me from even trying to get it into 6.0. I mentioned the updater server. It's a really, really small, Django-based server that I've written. It's just a few hundred lines of code and it does not match. It basically just stores hash, size and location, hash and size, so that when we generate the update file, we store there all this information because we potentially download files from an untrusted location, especially if we use a mirror network. We try to collect some statistics. That's mainly because we want to know how many people are actually using LibreOffice and the method that we use right now of trying to analyze the log files later is quite difficult. The project is on GitHub and we have actually a running test instance that's used for our daily builds that shows that it's actually working mostly already. I mentioned that Mozilla is not using MSI files for the installations, so the whole update code for Mozilla does not handle MSI installations, MSP patch updates. That's something that I need to patch into that code. A huge problem is MSP generation in LibreOffice. It's part of our build, but you need to configure that part with a few files that are more or less undocumented. It also requires that you change how you build LibreOffice, so it generates then CAB files that are then later packaged again and so on. The question for all of that is why? We have MSI files, we can install them and basically what we are interested in is the difference between two MSI files. That's why I started a new project. It's basically extracting our Perl-based installer code for MSP generation. We written in Python and that takes now two MSI files, the PCP files, that store some information about how the MSP file should look like, takes some of the config stuff that we have in our build, but now explicitly as part of the command line. And then generates MSP files. Good yet, it works for some simple cases, but I have a lot of cases where the applied MSP file produces invalid installations later. One of the big problems that comes up often is that one of the updates is bad and I currently don't find these cases before they are shipped and reported back to me. So because we have many more ways how an installation could be created, like it's an original version directly downloaded, it's an old version updated a few times and so on, you need to do some basic testing on each of these versions. So you have all the incremental updates that you support, the official version and updating through a full update. Currently, my best idea is to use the UI testing, which allows me to basically control the profit instance through the UI out of the Python process and use that to do some basic testing to make sure that the generated update files produce valid installations. I will try to show you a quick demo if I have time. Does it show documents? So as you can see here, it's, oh, can't see much. Here's the old build ID. It's the build from yesterday night. If we now start, so now it's downloading, updating, producing a new build. It started already the new build, but we can, after an update, we always open a web page that we store that shows them the release info, what happened, potentially some donation information. And if we check now the file, you see we have the new build ID already here. That's it. Any questions? Stefan? I don't plan to do any work on Mac. If someone does it, the Mozilla code supports it, but I don't have access to a Mac. Yeah, Linux is mostly for me to do the work, and Windows is the main target. So I don't think that TDF would do incremental updates for Linux. The main target would be Windows right now. Well, it was surprisingly easy to extract the code into Python. I think it could be made an easy hack and replace a lot of our actually Perl code, and many of the configuration stuff that nobody knows anymore into something clean that's written from scratch. What he wants to do? That's why we use the Mozilla code and not something we did ourselves. The Mozilla security team spent quite a lot of time on it. So there's a checking of security certificates on each part. All the update files are signed by a certificate that's hard-coded into your executable. So into the old build must be the certificate information for the update that you're going to install. Otherwise, you would not call the updater, and then each process checks that the calling application is signed as well. Yeah, and as mentioned, the Mozilla team spent quite a lot of time analyzing it. They have a list of security bugs that they found, and we need to check that. That's why I don't write it myself. Yeah, yeah, good.


Welcome to this introductory video on active learning in OER. In this video, we'll be exploring what an open educational resource is and how you can use them in conjunction with active learning techniques to open up your teaching. Let's start with the basics. What is an OER? Open Educational Resources, or OER, are teaching resources that are free of cost and access barriers and which also carry legal permissions for open use, which allows anyone to freely use, adapt, and share the resource. This can be broken down into two key concepts. OER are open because they are free to access and because they come with permissions for open use. You might ask, what permissions? Well, the permissions inherent to OER are encapsulated by the five Rs, a set of rights for users which include the rights to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute copies of open content. In other words, as an instructor, you can adapt an OER to meet your course's unique needs by removing a chapter you don't teach, translating content into your native language, or by simply adding more examples that are relevant for your students. If an open educational resource can be any free, openly licensed learning material, that means there are a lot of different options for what an OER can be. This definition encompasses a wide variety of materials from textbooks and lab books to videos and simulations. However, OER have never been the only important piece in the field of open education. Another important piece, particularly for our topic today, is open pedagogy. Open pedagogy looks beyond course materials and asks us to consider how we're opening and including students in their learning. As Catherine Cronin defined it, open pedagogy might be seen as collaborative practices that include the creation, use, and reuse of OER, as well as pedagogical practices employing participatory technologies and social networks for interaction, peer learning, knowledge creation, and the empowerment of learners. Sound familiar? Yeah, it sounds a lot like active learning. Active learning is often defined as an approach to teaching that shifts the focus from a sage-on-the-stage approach to a more collaborative student-centered design. Open pedagogy might be seen as a type of active learning then, one which endeavors to center openness in the final outcomes of the learning process. But how is open pedagogy practiced? Well, there are a lot of different models, but it's easiest to conceptualize open pedagogy through its assignments. Here I have a few examples of open pedagogy assignment types. First is annotation, which might include working with students to annotate a reading used in the classroom by highlighting important passages or commenting on sections that are particularly interesting or thought provoking for them as a learner. Second is curation, wherein students pull together resources they found separately to share with one another and showcase what they've learned through outside research on your course topic. Third is updating or editing course content. This might be handled through a peer review process, wherein students comment on an OER assigned to your course and provide feedback on how it might be improved, or through a collaborative editing process, wherein students take pre-existing course materials and update them with things they've learned in your course meetings. This is where those five R permissions for OER come in handy. Because an open educational resource is open, you can adapt a copy of the content based on feedback from students to make the resources you use more relevant to your course. And finally, our last example is creating exercises and core course materials with students. In the former case, students might create test banks to help test one another's and their own understanding of your course content. In the latter case, students might help create a course reader or textbook demonstrating their learning and their grasp of your course content while creating something that can help educate others. These open pedagogy assignments are very similar to some of the examples listed on CELT's 226 Active Learning Techniques handout, which includes things like allowing students to compare notes and develop questions about what they've learned, having students peer review one another's writing, or working with students in groups to reflect on the lecture and discuss what they've learned. The one piece that makes open pedagogy different is that a final outcome of the work might be shared openly outside of the classroom or reused in future classes to support students who come after your current session ends. So now that I've had a chance to introduce this topic, I'd like to share a few considerations to keep in mind for those of you interested in exploring OER or open pedagogy in your classrooms. Specifically, consider how an open approach might help improve your class. For example, you might ask yourself, what experiences will drive my students to remember the most important topics in my class? What about my current material isn't speaking to students? And can they diagnose and fix that? What materials do I need? And how can students help me create those materials? Or how can my students help other students connect with my content? Regardless of where you end up, what's important is that you focus on teaching as a student-centered experience. The reason why open educational resources are popular isn't just because they're free, though the equity and affordability of OER are certainly a huge benefit. Open Education is also popular because it looks beyond materials to consider how a course can become a more open, inclusive, and participatory environment for students who want to have the opportunity to showcase their learning.
