Welcome to the NTN Nightly, I'm Nisha Charles, this edition's top stories. The Department of Fisheries is in the process of developing a national fisheries policy. The Ministry of Health and Wellness is finalizing arrangements for the arrival of the United States Naval Ship Voluntary Medical Mission. The Government of St. Lucia and MSC cruises are furthering discussions for a port facility in the south of the island. All that was the latest in youth development, sports and the NTN Nouvelle Arquéon. The Department of Fisheries in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO posted a workshop for stakeholders to develop a national fisheries policy which will inform the manner in which the sub-sector initiates actions to sustain safeguard and expand fisheries livelihoods. We hear more from the Ministry of Agriculture's Amanda Faye Clark. The workshop is an integral component of the technical cooperation project, which is entitled Assistance with the Development of a National Policy on Fisheries. Its objective is to revise the national fisheries plan in order to incorporate clear policy statements on a number of thematic areas impacting the local fisheries, marine and aquaculture sector. Deputy Chief Fisheries Officer attached to the Department of Fisheries, Thomas Nelson explains concerns such as illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, post-harvest issues on the ground such as sanitary and phytosanitary measures, trade and the overall impact of climate change on the industry are forefront of this week's deliberations. We have had an agriculture policy. We have also had a food and nutrition policy that really speaks to how we should move forward in terms of the development of the agriculture sector that includes fisheries and the agricultural policy speaks to food security, it speaks to sustainability, it speaks to pollution reduction, it speaks to a lot of the legal aspects in relation to whether it be land management, ocean management and a whole lot more. So this fisheries policy is not being developed in isolation of work that has been undertaken in the past. Fishery and Aquaculture Officer of the FAO Dr Yvette Day-Wadi says her organization remains committed to assisting governments in implementing the best strategies for securing fisheries livelihoods and thus, applauds the initiative of St Lucia's fisheries leaders in developing a policy document that is unique and representative of the reality of the local fisheries sector. This morning we were reviewing an important document which is now in force in St Lucia. The SASAP, the sectoral adaptation to climate change and action plan, this workshop has enabled to see the limitations that exist in the SASAP before the lenses that we have, critical lenses but constructive lenses that we have, we realize that the SASAP document has some limitations and this policy actually will benefit these gaps analysis to make it an instrument which is very useful to the country. The role of fisheries and marine resources in the national economy is important. Improving the productivity of fisheries is vital in ensuring food and nutrition security, improve fisheries livelihoods and promote economic growth. Results fisheries leaders say will be sustainable, wants policies to protect the environment and natural resources are fully implemented by law. From the Ministry of Agriculture, I am Amanda Faye-Clock reporting. The Lucia's Prime Minister and Chairman of the Caribbean Community Characum, Honourable Alan Shastney has expressed a grave concern about the ability of St Lucia and the region in dealing with the catastrophic realities of a Category 5 hurricane. Honourable Shastney concerns come against the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian which devastated the Abaco and Grand Bahama Islands in the Bahamas archipelago. Characum and the OECS are taking a collective approach to provide assistance to the Bahamas following the devastation by Hurricane Dorian. Prime Minister of St Lucia and Chairman of Characum, the Honourable Alan Shastney indicated that upon examination, regional heads agreed that logistically it was not feasible to get supplies to the Bahamas given the location, and so it was decided that cash donations would be more practical. The Prime Minister spoke to the issue during Tuesday's sit-in. So we all agreed to contribute $100,000 and I think that Barbados put in $500,000. I know in the case of Trinidad and also of Jamaica that in addition to some cash they've also given them troops. In the case of St Lucia and Dominica that we are in the process of sending up nurses and doctors and policemen who actually speak Creole, because clearly there is a community up there that they're having difficulty in communicating with. The immediate lesson at the same as the Speaker and that's why I wanted to make the intervention this morning and I'm very grateful to the Leader of the Opposition to allow me to do so, is I think that we have to be honest with ourselves in that the preparations that we have for hurricanes or the process that we're going through predominantly is concentrated on the pre-hurricane period. And I'm not so sure, well, I am sure that we're actually taking into consideration the level of catastrophe that we've seen now in Dominica, in the BVI and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Honourable Shasne noted that the move towards the government and ensuring that government processes and other relevant information was available electronically is crucial in the event of a disaster where documents and livelihoods are lost and individuals have to be evacuated. Additionally, the Prime Minister asserted that it is imperative that the country start a reserve of funds in case of such an eventuality. It's for that reason that I have said, Mr. Speaker, that we now need to put more measures in place to deal with the aftermath of these storms. Right? So the ability to get people registered to know where they are and where they're moving to is critical. And that is, and it's a point that I wanted to make today, that we still have a tremendous amount of work to do in light of climate change. And that while we're desilting and clearing bushes and doing all these things and giving people advanced warnings of the hurricane, I am not so sure the same level of preparedness is being put in place to deal with an aftermath of the size of a Dominica, the size of a BVI. Currently, what we just saw in Abaco and I think that even though we're further south, we have to put these these things in the practice. And the point from member of Castro himself is extremely well taken. The Prime Minister assured that the government is working assiduously to obtain the necessary sources to ensure functionality and return to normality following a disaster. For the government information service, I am General Norville. The Ministry of Health and Wellness is finalizing arrangements for the arrival of the United States Naval Ship Comfort Voluntary Medical Mission. The United States Naval Ship Comfort will be in St. Lucia from September 23 to October 2, 2019, and will be providing free medical services to residents. Services at the walk-in clinics will be provided from September 25 to 30 of 2019 at the OKEU Hospital and the National Cultural Center. Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Sharon Belma George, says the ministry has been holding meetings with the coordinating team from the ship. Due to the size of the hospital ship and the depth of our harbor, we will not be able to accommodate the vessel at point seraphine, as was indicated earlier, but it will be both out at sea and a smaller vessel from Laplace-Karenage Gate No. 2 will transport patients to the ship. All surgical patients and patients requiring CT scans need to be accompanied by an adult when coming for surgery. That is, the person would need to come with the patient when they're doing the procedure and also remain with them on the ship during the provision of care and also during their admission on the ship. All patients confirmed for surgery are required to attend pre-screening on Tuesday, September 24, 2019 at 8 a.m. at the OKEU Hospital. These patients will be contacted by the Ministry of Health. We also want to indicate that all other clients would like to access surgical care on the ship who have not yet sent in a referral to our office. There is still an opportunity where you can come in to one of the clinics at either the OKEU or the National Cultural Center to be seen and reviewed by the team and then you can be scheduled for surgery. Arrangements have been made through the president of the National Council of Public Transportation to provide shuttle service to the OKEU Hospital via the Cicero and Bexel buses and the National Cultural Center via the Lecleri buses. During the medical visit, contraband will not be allowed. These includes cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, licensed and unlicensed firearms and weapons. During the clinic set up on September 23 to 24, 2019, the public is alerted on increased activity from the port to the site of the clinics. This will include low flying helicopters. The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development continues to roll out its early childhood education reform with a workshop on the Early Learners Program Phase 2 Sensitization. Anise Antoine has more. The Early Learners Programme intends to address essential aspects of policy and practice in order to improve the reading levels of all learners at the early primary levels, grade K to grade 3. The Ministry of Education is currently in Phase 2 of the Early Learners Programme, which focuses mainly on language policy, teacher professional development and curriculum and assessment. Dawson Raghunanan is the Acting Deputy Chief Education Officer within the Ministry of Education. The ELP continues to provide a targeted approach towards improving reading and for the past few years, especially about two years ago, we have seen the data and there are many realities that we must consider. At the beginning, when the first assessment was done in 2016, it was realized that only 9% of students between grades K to 3 are reading at or above the grade level. After a year of intervention, the number had risen to about 16%, and that is very commendable. The Reading Development Programme for young learners is being administered by the OACS Commission and funded by the United States Agency for International Development, USAID. Lisa Sargusin Terence is the Reading Specialist for the OACS Early Learners Programme. The vision of the education sector strategies that every learner succeeds and to achieve that vision, seven strategic imperatives have been identified. The Early Learners Programme allows us to respond to a number of these imperatives, such as improvements in teacher professional development, curriculum and assessment, and the quality of teaching and learning. We are grateful that the US government through USAID has approved funding for the ELP and has further granted us an extension of 18 months and in September 2020 to improve the reading levels of our K to 3 students in the region, thus allowing us to address one of the cross-cutting themes of improving achievement in levels in cost-subject areas such as literacy. The six beneficiary OACS Member States in which the ELP is being implemented are Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Senkitsa and Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. From the Government Information Service, I am Anisia Antoine reporting. And this is DNT and Knightly. Ryan O'Brien is up next. Think about the children. Think about the children. How will we save it? Chemicals and GMOs are not the solution. Use organic and join. Excessive agrochemical use, additives and genetically modified foods are harmful to health and the environment. Join the Good Food Revolution. Grow, buy and consume organic. A message from Ryan St. Lucia and the Ministry of Sustainable Development with funding from the GEF Small Grants Program, UNDP. Welcome back. We join Ryan O'Brien for the latest happenings in youth development and sports. It's the weekend once again and I'm Ryan O'Brien with your update from the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports on the NTN Nightly News. St. Lucia and youth are being urged to take advantage as the National Enrichment and Learning Unit, NELU, is accepting applications and are currently conducting interviews for the Skills for Youth Employment Sky Project. The Sky Project is specifically targeting disadvantaged youth, including those with disabilities between the ages of 15 and 30. The project is aligned with national, regional and international agendas on continued education and training. One such agenda is United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which articulates that by 2030, there must be substantial increase in the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship. The National Enrichment and Learning Unit will receive funding to train 1,150 young people over a three-year period, 350 in year one, 400 in year two and 400 in year three. The training will be certificated at Caribbean Vocational Qualification, CVQ level, and will be offered in districts throughout the island. More than 35% of trainees will be male, more than 35% female, and 12% will be young people with disabilities. Forms can be obtained from the Nalews office located upstairs People's Discount Drugstore at a corner of St Louis and Chisell Streets, social transformation officers, youth and sports councils, Nalews coordinators around the island. Persons who have applied are being urged to attend the interviews. Challenge swimmer Cameron Bellamy, who successfully took on a channel swim from Barbados to St. Lucia last weekend, spoke about the experience during a press briefing this week. Although not ending where he initially planned, the swimmer was delighted to have achieved the desired goal. The end of the swim was pretty difficult. We got a current going south and we tried to get into view for touch rocks and to push it pretty hard. But it was kind of a with a spectacular place to finish under that cliff touching those rocks. I know what it would be nice to finish on the beach and and have like and meet people on the beach, even though I would have been kind of out of it and everything and wouldn't be able to walk. It was nice to finish there because it was very picturesque and from what I've seen of St Lucia so far, it's just like that beautiful, beautiful island. Bellamy said he felt very welcomed when he got on St Lucia's soil. The welcome I had when I got in, you know, having the Prime Minister visit me on the boat with my mom was was amazing to me. And since I've been here, the hospitality has been amazing. So just to start off, I just want to say how grateful I am to the two St Lucia and solution people for having me on your island. The feet by the South African born swimmer also helped raise money for charities in Barbados and St Lucia. And that's how we end our weekend update from youth development and sports. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Thanks, Ryan. The government of St Lucia and MSC Cruises are furthering discussions on the development of a port facility in the south of the island. Prime Minister Honourable Shastney revealed that talks held with the third largest cruise ship company in the world have been promising. The emphasis by my government is to improve the quality of cruise shipping in castries, but not to expand the quantum of it and that all of the increases in the size of the ships would be facilitated in the Deview Fort area in order to be able to balance the cruise ship industry in solution. I think having two ports certainly augurs well and gives us that additional room. Furthermore, developing in the south gives us the opportunity of developing more home porting and that really is the business that we would like to be able to to see more success in. And that was Prime Minister Honourable Alan Shastney and stay with the NTN Knightly. Up next, Prime Minister Hutchinson is here with the NTN Nouvelle Arquio. I'm innovative. I'm competitive. I am productive. I'm creative. I constantly improve what I do. And how I do it. I provide excellent customers to visit. I never stop learning. I give all my best, always. The National Competitiveness and Productivity Council embracing excellence. Welcome back! We join Prime Minister Hutchinson for the NTN Nouvelle Arquio. M. Madame, Department of Universitability, for informing the Government of this session of the GIS, for the National Television Competition with NTN, especially the Nouvelle Arquio, and also Prime Minister Hutchinson. Government of this session, in discussion and at the University of Aetid Touristic Center, which is well advanced to to keep an opportunity to establish a facility in the same way as this one. For this one, we have Alain Chassney, the young leader of the University of Luzern in Switzerland in the first place in the first place in the country. It is expected that this university will serve only for this one but also for the other countries. According to Chassney, we have considered difficulties for the people who have come to the United States and for the industry, tourism, as well as other countries. It is also expected that this facility will provide education and will help the university to benefit from it. For the Luzern education program, it will also provide academic education and practical education. For the Ministry of Education, we have also considered the Limo-Sham Hotel in the country. And we have also considered the Touristic design of the electricity, so that we have a opportunity for the young people to follow the educational and business design of the electricity. For this one, we have also considered the University of Luzern of the United States, especially here in the Hanay. So, we have also considered the Limo-Sham Hotel specifically for the University Hotel We have a group called Luzern. If you agree with that, you can proceed to fight for the land. We have a plan to work in a way that has already been built. We already have a company to work with. And then we have a group of assets. Then we have the government. We have to continue to make commitments to modernize the public service in the country. And we have these ways to make the government available for all of this. Why is that? The government has to work to modernize the public service in the country. And the government has to work to make the government available for all of this. But what is the possibility of developing economic transportation? We have explained to Joseph that this is an issue of transportation that is automatically applied in any way. The people who are working on the service in the country have to serve the internet. The government has to work You should be able to find information on how to work in a more effective manner. Your chef, Mr. Quesco, has modernized the public sector. He is a nurse. He is able to provide services to the service government. He is able to provide services online. He is able to provide applications for the service driver online. He is able to provide services online. This government is a company by the Touristic MSC. It is a discussion to develop a facility for the service driver. Prime Minister Aline Chastney said that the discussion is about how to work in a more effective manner. Prime Minister Chastney said that the government is able to provide facilities for the service driver. Prime Minister Aline Chastney said that the government is able to provide facilities for service drivers. How to get work done online? Prime Minister Aline Chastney said that the government is able to provide facilities for business drivers. Prime Minister Prab silhouette has published a technique to build視 And here's a look at what's happening to us weather-wise. Over the extreme northern portion of the Lesser Antilles, it will be generally cloudy with some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Elsewhere it will be occasionally cloudy with a few scattered showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms. Moisture and instability in the lower atmosphere over the eastern Caribbean islands will cause some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the next few days. A tropical wave located about 700 miles or 1,126 kilometers east of the Windward Islands is producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers. The wave is expected to move quickly westward at about 20 miles per hour during the next few days and some development is possible while it approaches and moves across the Windward Islands this weekend. A tropical wave located near the west coast of Africa has the potential to develop into a tropical depression early next week as it moves westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic. The tide for Castries Harbor was low at 12.39pm and is high at present. The tide for Vieux-Four Bay was low at 206pm and will be high again at 8.22pm. The sea is moderate to locally rough with waves and northeasterly swells 5-7ft or 1.5-2.1m. The sun will rise Saturday at 5.53am. And that brings us to the end of the NTN Nightly. Join us next time at 7pm with a repeat at 7am. You can also catch up with us anytime on the Selenusia Government Facebook page or YouTube channel. I'm Nisha Charles.


So do you have any step to the knee? How long does that take? Or is it just, you know, through constant meditation and reading, setting? Yes, I have a, I've had a, you know, let's hear a little bit of what we have on my mind. I'll rate the price, let's answer questions from all over the world. And I get a power that's so loud. I'm not going to use the power, but the magic formula that I'm going to tell you. And I would say that the power is through the spirit of the knee, whether you call the Holy Spirit or the higher power or whatever. But when God gave you a means to weigh out who you really are, God gave everything. In other words, the spirit of the knee that includes the voice is the power. So when you might go to an enemy and pay attention to that, it's where the voice is. There's your instant mental state happening through you automatically when you tune into that. So the way people should look at you as they're listening to that listening is to believe you've been from the show shows. Because the video is a topic I don't think anymore and I can run it off my own. Or if the look side of the error is like the measurement and dependency error where people get dependent on a part of their world, ooh, they're ministered, they're out of order or something, by all anyone who would have tested him very hard on the word, go to this place in India, and find the right outcome on the right, or the right cortex, or the right algorithm. And what the ordinance teaches when I say that there's no place for playing with anyone special, and there's no place for playing, that you're it. In fact, the court teaches that Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is within you. And the court says the word of the thing is actually unnecessary. The kingdom of heaven is you. Of course, they say in native language, you are the one. And in order to accept that, it seems to be prepared as a path of allowing anything in your mind that is a block or a doubt to come to the surface. So I always say you have to take the little of that repress, all those prepared unconscious beliefs. So, when people ask me about how they do this, and what the purpose of this way is to uncover the meaning, or expose it, or get in touch with it, or believe it, I think I also, in the two minutes that I just covered were silence and relations. Silence, and many of you have ever tried to go out like quiet on the streets, because it's still in your mind, knowing that you're not a digital or content or a monster or whatever. You know it can seem pretty difficult when the chatter doesn't want to stop. And when you go out, sometimes the chatter even gets louder. Like I'm saying, you know what you're not going to do this. And I'm just very much like that. And I would say that relationships are very important because everyone who shoots their needs is a reflection of what you still believe in your mind. So with this, the mirror effect of whoever's in your mind, and you have that kind of irritation, annoyance, frustration, whatever, that's a real good touchstone or an in-road in getting in touch with what you believe. And that's why this is an app that includes amusing relationships instead of like the old traditional best that you know brought the Himalayan women get away from all the people, all this, you know, deceiving issues and conflicts. You might be a little bit worried about it, so you might as well take advantage of that little opportunity and use it to develop instead of thinking, oh, I don't need to say I don't know the simple version, can I have peace of mind? It's tempting to think that there's certain scenarios that are basically more reasonable, but it's actually, as the Course says, you know, the only spot on it where an ancient hatred has become a present model, it takes away control of your mind and space, brings it back to that still point in your mind, which is always there, you can always go to it. And I would say that you don't get to go on having a witch hunt, you know, every day is a full way. You know, you don't get to go to a meeting, but it's just your desire for us, but I don't have peace and joy and love and happiness. That's how I find my job, big time. And then I think it would have kind of like, I can't contain the glacial, you know, the glacial movement of the comments, they would just move anything in their way outwardly. It's a matter of how long the tree was, how big the tree was, it would stick out that tree like a toothache, because it's such a giant matter of light, of light ice, and you might think that when you call on God, and you call for healing, you're out of this giant glacial light on your mind, and that was towards something you were aware of, and it made this unlikely result. So a lot of times when you really call on healing, you're allowed to seem to get worse, experimentally, before it needs to get better. We can get out of that, you know, but now she seems to be saying, you know, between the mind, between the mind of all the trees, like cleaning and trimming, and everything, that's good. So you can kind of look at the water, and you can soak it up, and you can soak it up, and you've got straight to silence, and she said, the water gets a lot dirty, before you finally get rid of the rinse, and clean the hands, and start with clean. So, as she mentioned, you can hear her in another of your other stories, that when you call on God, and you seem to get intense, then more length than before, I don't think that you're doing something wrong, just know that the ego is getting crushed up by the tide's face, and that you're on a good road.


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Google Cloud Next 19. Brought to you by Google Cloud and its ecosystem partners. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live in San Francisco for CUBE's coverage of Google Next 2019. Hashtag Google Next 19. This is Google's cloud conference where their customers, developers all come together as theCUBE's three days of coverage. Day one, I'm John Furrier with my coach Dave Vellante as well as Stu Miniman who's out there doing some reporting. Our next guest is Allison Wagon, filled as the CMO of Google Cloud. Great to see you, thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me, I'm glad to be here. So I got to say, looking out on the floor here, we're in the middle of the floor, great demographics, a lot of developers, a lot of enterprise customers, a lot of, you know, sea levels and also enterprise architects and cloud architects. So this is not just a developer fest, this is a business developer conference. Yeah, so that's been a real change this year. Not only have we increased the numbers, I think I mentioned earlier that we have 30,000 people are actually probably even more than that. We had a cap registration we sold out last week, but the composition is different this year because this year we have over 70% from enterprise companies and then within enterprise companies, it's devs, IT decision makers, business leaders and then we have a whole executive track, a leader circle program as well. So it's been a really great mix of different energy, different questions and different sessions. You guys do a great job with the event, kudos to the team. I've been the original Google IO, it was great event that continues to be the consumer side of Google. You guys have that same kind of groove swing going on, a lot of sessions. Take a minute to explain the theme of the show, what's going on around the events, breakouts. What's the focus? Yeah, so the focus, well, there's a theme on a couple of different levels. The broad theme is a cloud like no other because we've introduced a lot of new different features and products and programs. We introduced Anthos this morning, which was really revolutionary way of using containers, broad laid multi-cloud hybrid cloud. So it's from a product standpoint, but it's also a cloud like no other because it's about the community that's here and it's truly a partnership with our customers and our partners about building this cloud together and we see the community as a really key part of that. It's really core to Google's values around openness, open source technology and really embracing the broader community to build the cloud together. And I thought it was interesting, the keynote was a phenomenal, you had the CEO of Google come out, Sundar Phukai and the new CEO's on the job for 10 weeks, TK, Thomas Kurian. A lot of action going on at Google Cloud right now. There's a lot going on. It's been great to have Thomas, Diane was phenomenal in building the business. It's wonderful to have Sundar here. He showed a lot of commitment, really engaged with our customers. And so it's a lot of energy and a lot of excitement at Google. I thought it was a very class act of Thomas Kurian. His first words on stage at the CEO was to give props to Diane Greene. Very respectful, that was great. I agree, it was very gracious of Thomas. Oh, sorry, he said the pressure there. One of the things I really like about Google is it's not afraid of hard problems. So I wanted to ask you, as a CMO, I always ask CMOs about brand promise. What's the brand promise that you want customers and the community to take away from an event like this? So the brand promise has a couple different areas. First and foremost, we want our customers to be successful with their customers. And so we think really holistically about, let's make sure that we're delivering the cloud technology so that customers can really serve everyone that they want to serve. Whether it's be a retailer that wants to create a wonderful offline and online experience, whether it's a healthcare provider that wants to ensure that every doctor knows all of the right data about all the patients or within a hospital. And so that's the way we're always thinking is how do we ensure that we help our customers set up to be successful? So one of the big themes we heard this morning was the industry focus. And you just referenced it again. It seems to be an increasingly important part of the messaging and the technologies that you're creating. And it ties into digital transformation. You're seeing every industry transform. Data is at the heart of that transformation. You're seeing big companies traverse different industries. So I wonder if you could talk about the industry focus. Where'd that come from? Where do you see it going? Yeah, so there's really three core parts of what we've been talking about today. First and foremost is the infrastructure and ensuring that we have the world's best infrastructure. Then on top of that, it's ensuring that we have all the right applications to help with digital transformation. And then as part of that further is the industry solutions because in our six focus industries, we want to make sure that we are really developing the right applications with the right solutions and have that deep expertise that companies are looking for so that we can really partner with them and really truly be innovative. And we can feel much more comfortable being innovative when we really understand our customer problems. The key part of that is the global SIs.  I won't name them because I'll forget one, but there's two obvious ones right there. Because once you start to see those guys come into the ecosystem, that's when you can partner and get real deep industry expertise globally. I agree. And so we do have great partnerships, as you said here, with Accenture and Deloitte and Atos, or three of them, but many more that we're working really closely with. And they're really an extension of what we want to build because we know that we will not be able to create every single last mile industry solution in every single industry and working with those companies really helps us. I was on the plane last night watching the game, of course. I don't know if you guys got to see it, you were probably up here busy. But I focused, Google was all over the NCAAs this year. So this is our second year of our partnership with the NCAA and it's been great. There's a couple of dimensions to that partnership. First and foremost, we helped them analyze 80 years worth of data. And through all of that analysis, we've been working with them about making predictions about games and helping them understand players and coaches and teams better, everything from creating brackets to how do you, the fan experience. And then as part of that, we also had opportunity to do some advertising within their games. So you may have seen some of the TV spots that we did, which was about analyzing that data. And we put ourselves on the line by making predictions during the game about what we thought would happen based on all of our analysis. And then the big chef this year was we included students. So it was really exciting. This last year, we created all these models, but we did it within Google. We had Google Devs and Google engineers creating prediction models. And we said, like, what if we brought students in to help us? So we recruited 30 or so all-star students around the country from their schools, brought them together. They learned GCP like that. It was awesome. And then they started working together doing predictions. And so a lot of what you saw in the games and on our hub was actually students using Google Cloud Platform to make predictions about the games. So just to get this right, and this is referenced on stage by TK, the students. So you had data from the NCAA that was exposed to the students. They had a hackathon. How much lead time did they have? What was the- They did everything within 30 days. So the hackathon was about two or months ago or so. But within the last 30 days, they did all of these different projects. And they were actually doing really creative things about trying to come up with new types of stats, like explosiveness. What does that mean? Does it mean that you move in closer to the basket or does it mean that they're coming up with stats around pace of game and different elements of the play? So it was really fun. How many slam dunks, miss fouls. So question, who are you rooting for? I was rooting for Virginia. But let's say I was rooting for Virginia after my bracket got busted. And so I was allowed to kind of change a little bit in there in Michigan once they were gone. I was like, hmm. So I used no A.I., but I hit 99% tile. So there you go. I had Michigan State rather in Virginia in my final four. That's impressive. My final four, yeah, Michigan State lost, but still I would have been- That's pretty good. 99.9. Yeah. What other, what kind of predictions were the students doing? The students were doing predictions about everything from, well, last night we had some predictions about the number of two points. Last, we had about how many different times we were going to exchange. Like the ball would go back and forth between teams. We had predictions about three pointers in one game, everything. So it's been really fun to work with them. And kind of in-game predictions too? I see that a lot, right? Yeah, you probably saw some stats real time. Probability of victory, which of course last night, forget it. It changed so quickly. It was super fun. Great program. One of the things I want to ask you, not to change gears is you have a book in the press room called Customer Voices. Yes. So this has been a focus. And I think a lot of people have been like, oh, Google's got great tech, but not a lot of customers, which you guys are debunking with not only this, but here at the show with showing the logo slide. Really kind of showing the traction from a customer standpoint. Yes. Talk about the focus on the customer. How has that changed? How are you doing your job? How is the tech rolling out? Can you share some insight into the customer focus? This has been a really big step change this year. We have over 400 customers speaking throughout this event. And then we have a number of them that are on stage in the keynotes telling real stories. Two years ago, we had some customers speaking and they would say, oh, I'm dabbling in this, but now they're making real kind of bet the company decisions using our technology. And so this customer voices is looking at those companies. We have something called the Customer Innovation Series this afternoon where the CIO of HSBC will be talking about their evolution on Google Cloud two years ago. Jared West was on stage talking about just kind of what they were beginning to do with Google Cloud Platform. And now here we are two years later where they've made a lot of progress and we'll be sharing their stories. The Customer Innovation Series is one of my favorite parts at Next. You know, we cover a lot of events. Dave and I, as we like the ESPN of tech or Game Day, we go out on the shows. We see a lot of events and you kind of hear the key words over and over again, some of these events. Here we're hearing scale, which we've heard all the time, Google, scale, scale, solve our problems, but we're hearing more about customers. Okay, this has been a big focus. How have you guys shifted internally because this seems to have been around for a while? Like you said, I think it's a step function from what we're seeing as well. What's going on internally? How are you guys mobilizing? How are you guys taking this to the market because you've got great partnerships. So Cisco on stage, VMware is even up there. You've got an ecosystem developing, a lot of momentum. So we are truly this year enterprise ready to use a buzzword that comes up. So two years ago, we still had some holes in some of our technology stack and we were still really building the go-to-market teams. We still are vastly scaling that. So absolutely growing there, but we're in a whole different place as a business where we are able to serve really large enterprises at scale. Here at McKesson just announced, sixth largest company that they are moving and working with us at Google Cloud. I mean, so these are major companies that are making big decisions to work with us. And so it's at a whole different level this year and we're really proud that the customers have chosen to work with us and we're building the organization to ensure that they're successful. So that's our customer success program that's ensuring we have the right kinds of customer engineers working hand in hands with our customers. So it's a big focus of our whole group. It's a focus where Thomas Kurian has a lot of background serving enterprise customers at Oracle for 20 years, bringing that expertise. So you'll see that everywhere. So I'm glad you picked up on that and feel it because it really permeates everything we're doing at Google Cloud. And it's been a positive change in the results for there. What's the focus for you as you look forward? There's obviously a lot to do.  I always say Google's the dark horse. I'm now saying Amazon's got a good lead out there being first in, but you guys have a lot of tech. You got the customer focus. You got a lot of momentum on the tech side. Cloud native open source, partner ecosystem developing, customer ecosystem.  Yeah, we feel really well positioned. It's early. So in the whole market, a lot of people seem to think that, oh, like all these decisions, but it's really still 80% of workloads are in data centers of these big enterprises, everybody who's here with us right now. And most companies are choosing a multi-cloud strategy. This morning we announced a major product, Anthos, that really enables a multi-cloud strategy. So it enables Google to really be at the center of that multi-cloud and provide the services using containers and a lot of the biggest, best advances right now. And so as we scale or go to market, we can really bring this technology that we hear over and over again as the best technology in the business. Yeah, we hadn't really had to go to market in place to bring it to customers. And this is really where we're taking it so we can help get this awesome technology. It's so fun as a marketer to them, bring it to everybody. I always say it's so early. The wave is just getting started. There's more ways behind it. I'm very impressed and intrigued also by the rebranding of the Google Cloud Platform, which you guys announced last year. It's kind of a hybrid. Anthos is interesting because it's a rebrand slash new set of integration points. Cisco again on stage kind of integrating with your container platform is a key story that I think is nuanced, but kind of points to a whole new Google. What was behind the rebranding? Can you just share some insight to what the conversation was like? Google Cloud Platform is descriptive, but I mean, it says what it is. So there was a couple things. So Cloud Services Platform, when we chose that name last year was when we went into Alpha with the product. And frankly, within the marketing team, we kind of knew it was always a placeholder name. And then the debate was when do we change the name when we go to beta, which we did a couple months ago, or when we went to GA and we decided this would be a great opportunity to change the name. So we always knew it was, we're going to change the name. Picking a name is always complicated. And so we spent a lot of time thinking about what we wanted that name to mean and what we wanted to stand for. And we really liked Anthos. It's a Greek word, it's a nod to the Greek aspects, the history of the product with Kubernetes and Istio and other areas. It means to blossom, it means to grow, it means all. And so words like anthology and things like that. So we liked both what it meant and we also liked that with all naming decisions, it's easy to spell, it's easy to find, it's all great. And it's super booming in California here as we speak, a little ironic. And it has an international flavor to it, right? You guys are taking this show overseas, right? They've got a big show in London in November, I know. Yes, we'll be in Tokyo in July next and then London in November. And then we do in between all of these, what we call Cloud Summit series, which are in country, slightly smaller, but we bring a lot of the same technology and speakers and sessions, just have a slightly scaled down version. Intimate. Well, we really appreciate your support. We love doing theCUBE here with a lot of tech athletes as we say here on the show floor. A lot of knowledge, good customer conversations. Allison, thanks for sharing the insight. Congratulations on the great show. Thank you, I love being here. Thanks for having me. And great rebranding. As the market shifts, great time to have a rebrand. Certainly when it means something more, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, Google Cloud Platform now, Anthos. theCUBE bringing the live coverage here from the floor at Google Next 2019. Stay with us for more after this short break.


Hi Janice. You got power. Yeah. Not my cheat, but I got power. What's your gas out or? No, I live in an uninsulated house. Oh, the worst thing for me is cold wind, which is what we have. Told me it was blowing really hard in the west side and it really didn't blow much here in Live Oak. I was shocked. We lived down by the beach, but it wasn't blowing at all hardly. Yeah, where I am, the gusts have been really strong. I'm in Live Oak too, but I'm further away from the ocean, I think. And when the gusts comes, it's very strong. Well, my furnace isn't working, so it's kind of chilly. Yep. And there's no way we're having a repair person in the house. Don't you have a wood stove though, Keith? I do have a wood stove. We'll be using wood. We have lots of wood. Trees are always falling down, right? Yep, they're always falling down. I just got to cut them up. I hope there are any near you. They say about making wood that it warms you twice, right? Well, it warms me three times because it's, most of them are down quite a ways down the hill for me, so bringing them up is the second time. Well, the last tree in my yard went down last winter. So it'll have to, something will have to work hard. I'm not wishing for it. I don't know. Did you hit me now? Keith, maybe you said this already. You're up rodeo Gulch road. Yes. How far up are you? Two and a quarter miles. I don't know if you know where Hidden Valley is. We're past Hidden Valley. Yeah, but it's driveway. You need a four wheel drive to get up. That was quite an adventure finding your house. It's not that bad. You don't have a four wheel drive, Keith? Oh no. We drive a fish at little O'Connell boxes, electric car, hybrid. Well, you need a small car like mine or yours to get up and down the driveway. It's like a skateboard track. I mean, it is pretty amazing when I went up there to drop off some stuff. I just said, wow. This is like an adventure in itself, just getting here. And I live at the bottom of the road in the low rent district. The people on the top have the multi-man dollar views. More wind though. Yeah, but they get sunrises and sunset. We never see sunrise and sunset. The sun's already down 15 minutes ago here.  Wow, that is early. And that also means there are no signals here. We get some radio, but we never have gotten any television or anything. It was kind of a cool way to raise our kids with no music. That's what I was thinking. We had to hide ours during the week. We had a little one and we put it in the trunk of the Volkswagen because they took it to work.  You know, my, my girlfriends got school-age kids.  So they're supposed to be not doing any devices, you know, if, you know, if anybody had a hard time transitioning to online, it's going to be the Waldorf school where it's all wood and touchy feely. They managed to do it somehow. I sometimes unplug wifi to see how long it takes for, for the, for the, before they start to get angry. Usually it's about three minutes. That's kind of the, you know, something wrong with it. I don't know. I don't know. Larry, you need a hobby. Oh, that, no, that's my hobby. They're teenagers. That's all I got. Maybe you could just throttle it periodically. Yeah, but that affects me too. Let's face it. Well, so does disconnected. Yeah, but it'll be in time when I'm not using it. You know, so. It's amazing how quick they, they bolt out of their rooms. And I don't do it when they're in school. I'm going to call this meeting to order. Looks like we're. Sorry. Looks like we're waiting for Elizabeth. I'm not sure I haven't heard from her. We may or may not get her. Just for the new folks, David and Christina welcome. My name is G. And I'm the, the chair. And this is my first meeting. Officiating at, I guess, or I guess I officiated it part of the last one. So we'll see how it goes. So I'll call this meeting of the board of directors of community television to order. It is January 25th, 502. And with the secretary call the roll. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Director Macy ours.

Number four, approve the board meetings of November 23, 2020. And approve recommendation of finance committee to accept November and December 2020 financial reports, which just happened moments ago. Thanks to the finance committee. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'll move. I'll second. Moved by director Gudger second by director Hall. All in favor. I think we can do a voice vote on favor. Hi. Hi. Hi. Anybody opposed. All right. Now this is a good part. Regular agenda. We have number six, and joining us is Christina. Is it granados? Granados. She's still muted. Myself there. Hi. Yes, Christina. Thank you. Watsonville representative term expiring at the end of this year. Thanks so much for joining us. And then David Warren. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As, as nominated as a net large representative. And his term is expiring. What will expire at the end of 2023. And I want to thank both of you for joining us. We're really excited to have you as part of the board. The bios were included as part of the. The agenda. And we're just stoked that you're with us. Thank you. I'm very excited to be on board. So thank you so much for that warm welcome. And I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing. Great. Thank you. And I'd like to thank you Christina for joining our board. It's been a while since we've had a Watsonville rep. And we really, really appreciate your joining. Thank you so much. I'd like to echo that it's both, it's really exciting to have you guys coming on board. Well, I just want to say I'm excited too. And I'm, I'm honored to be a part of this group and work on the mission of community TV. Great. Well, thank you both. That's great. I will entertain and. Do I do this together or do we do them separately? Any parliamentarians here? I'm inclined to do them together. Okay. I will entertain a motion to accept the, or to elect the new board members. What from Watsonville, Christina, and at large, David Warren. I move. Right, Janet. So just called. Moves and it looks like Keith gudger second. Couple of seconds. And all of those in favor. Say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Can I ask a quick question? We were doing the roll call votes because of meeting online. I think do we need to still do that? Pretty sure that's a branch requirement. I think so we just so for, we've. Continue to do those even for kinds of wrote things. Consent. I think it's probably a good idea. In the interest of. Crossing our eyes and dining our teas. Let's do that. Okay. Chair Launay. Yes. Director Maziar's. Aye. Director Hall. Aye. Director Loren. Aye. Director Driscoll. Aye. Director Shaw. Aye. Director Gudger. Yes. How about director Mannheim? Can I vote? Oh, no. Sorry. I thought I skipped the director. Sorry, director Mannheim. Affirmative. All right. Well, welcome both. Yay. And I have two little comments. David, I knew from. Because I taught there at night for. A couple of decades. I thought I recognized you and I read this. Oh, there it is. And Christina. Just want to let you know, I graduated from UCLA in 1967. So you have a heritage graduate on the board with you. Oh, that's great. Thank you.  Yes, I did. Yes. I worked closely with him. Way back in the day, I was a reporter at KSPW and I, I got an opportunity to do a two part story on this new thing called computers. And I worked with him on the board and. Convinced the station to allow us to put a computer in our bureau and went out and bought a Commodore 64. Oh, Jesus. That's older than what I graduated from you. So no. Well, welcome both of you now. Can participate in, in. Anything else we do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now I will move on to the report of our executive director. Okay. Thank you guys. This is my report for November and December since we don't meet in, in December. I'll cover both those meetings here. First, we have applied for the under financials. So we're eligible to get about $15,000. We got notified today that we're on their wait list. So we'll be in round two instead of round one. I believe. And we are still, our status is still funding at the, for the EIDL loan. And I did get a letter. I think I told you last time from the government saying we're in the pipeline. It's just taken a long time. And it's just been a long time since we've been in the pipeline. And we're still not paying for it. So I'm just saying to the new members, what the idea alone is. That's the federal government's loan for. For COVID. Relief. And it is a, this, this in our case, it's $150,000 loan. It's a very, a very low interest and long payback loan. It's sort of like a mortgage. And we are. We may or may not want to use it, but it's a very low interest and long payback loan. And we can use it for whatever we need. It's not restricted. We didn't qualify. We don't qualify for the second round of PPP funding. Sadly, but for a good reason, we didn't lose enough money to qualify. So we're worried. That's kind of, that's the good news part of that. We expect our original loan will be forgiven. And we've been waiting for guidance from the government because we've been working with the government. We've been working with the government. We've been working with the government. And we're just reporting if you've got less than $50,000. And we did. But it, we used it all for payroll. It's one form. So we're just going to upload it and go ahead without waiting for the streamline version because it is pre pretty streamlined in our case anyway. Let's see. And then moving down to coworking. Our break even number in the co-working center is $10,000 a year. In the last couple of years, we earned $15,000. And in December, we earned 10,000. But in November, it was an abnormally high. Number because in, someone was paying for October in November and someone paid for December in no, in November. So it evens out in the end, but it looked very exciting at first. On paid services. We, as a, for, for new board members, we, one of the services that we provide the county and it is a revenue stream is that we cover government meetings. And we did 16 in November and in 11 in December and cover is a TV technical word. So I will rephrase that. We record them and then we telecast them on television. And we also do webinars now because so many of the commissions and agencies in our area can't meet in person. We developed a webinar platform where they come and meet and we host their webinars. And so we've been doing, we've been doing that. We did the, I think, I think we did. Oh, I, oh, somehow it. We did six webinars in November and six in December. And from now on, we're going to, we've gotten some new business recently. So we'll be hosting webinars for the Santa Cruz County Board of supervisors. We started doing that in January where we'll be hosting health services. There are press conferences. We've already done one and we'll continue to do those. They do a couple of months and we're also going to be hosting webinars for public works and the planning department. And we just got a request today to do some town hall meetings for the county. So we're going to do a lot of webinars and we do those webinars live. We actually, we also stream them to Facebook and YouTube and then, and also on our channels. And we've got so many now we've had to get another account so we can do them all at the same time. Many of them happen. At the same time slot. So we under facilities and equipment, not a lot happened, but we have a new computer for our accountant. Under mission programming, we did, we completed our intern program in December and we produce three, the interns produce three programs and they're supposed to air. I think I have written here that they're supposed to air in January. I believe now it's February though. So we'll have three episodes of a show called joining me now. And we interviewed three. And we're going to talk about some interesting people from our community. Jody, Freddie, Annie is a wild, wild life photographer, Rachel Kippen, who's an environmental activist. She also is the, um, ED for sea Odyssey and Curtis Relliford, who's a humanitarian and you may see him around town in a big truck, raising funds. If you don't see him, you'll hear him. Yeah. Yeah. He goes by my house late at night. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's always fun music. And so he raises a lot of money in town and a lot of people see him and we thought, um, the intern that wanted to do his story thought that, you know, we see him, but we don't know a lot about him. So, uh, she tracked him down. She actually had to find him by just looking around in real physical space. She was unable to get him through, um, a phone or a website. And she found him. So she's going to be a good reporter. She's intrepid. We're very proud of her. She got a good grade. So, um, on social media for, uh, the Corona vice, we still have ship been sharing the press releases with the public and, uh, and, and with, with, uh, we've been sharing the press releases from public health and the governor on our of our social media channels. And now we're recording their health conference. So we're putting those on, uh, obviously our channels, so we put links in social media and also on our website. And, um, in co-working, we've implemented a new social media strategy that Ian is working on. He's putting, um, where we've created some, uh, a more of a branded look. And he is posting informative contact on a schedule to engage our audience there and hopefully to, um, it's directed that entrepreneurs and solopreneurs and that sort of thing. So, um, up until now, it had just been sort of random stuff about co-working, which wasn't very effective. So we've got, um, this more targeted plan and we'll let you know how it works out or how it's, how it's moving forward next month. We're also doing the same thing for the studio. We actually have a separate website for the studio that directed more to professionals and, um, and not, not, uh, not members like of our community, uh, television station that want to makes things for the community, but professionals in the community that want to make things for others. And so we are developing the same strategy for social media for them, uh, coming up with interesting content about what's going on in production or in equipment or just that sort of thing that will be intriguing for them and different trainings and, and, um, we're, we've found a lot of interesting information. So we're sharing it there and we'll let you know how that strategy works. Um, in outreach, we are working, we got an opportunity. The youth grant committee has been working on putting together a sort of a pandemic version of our youth grant. I think we reported that out to you last time we met and now we've kind of refined it into enough of a, um, we've gotten far enough so that now we feel like we need a beta test in order to, um, really see if we're on the right track and how it would work in real life. So we've got a simplified version. We spoke with save our shores and they were very interested in helping us connect with, uh, kids that we could, uh, try our new plan out on. They had some, um, comments on what we had planned. So already we got some feedback on our ideas and, uh, they were able to, um, they actually, I got, after I wrote this report, I got a message from them that they have connected with a teacher in middle school who would like to work with us. So I have a meeting planned with them, um, later this week and, uh, it looks like we might be able to, um, move forward with a beta test on some unsuspecting middle schoolers. And so we're, we're excited about that. And, uh, that's my report for November and December. All right. Thanks, Becca. Very much. Next we have oral report of the board chair. That's me. Um, I really have nothing much to report in particular. Um, but this is the first meeting that I've, um, actually led and it was a bit of a learning experience, putting together the agenda, but I think it all worked out pretty well. I think, um, I would like to, I meant to include our calendar, a list of all the meetings that are coming up. And so I'll do that next time, just as an informational item. I forgot that. Um, and that's, that's about it for me. And we have any board member or staff requests for specific items to be on next month's agenda. Tom. Well, it's going back to the last one. Did you want to mention the, um, meeting we're going to be having on Thursday or Friday morning? Um, yes, I will. Thank you. Um, we are calling a meeting for Friday morning at 10 o'clock. So, um, I think it's going to be a little bit of, of anybody who, who can join. It'll be very brief. The, um, Community television tax return. The 990 is due and it should be reviewed by. Uh, board members, um, before going. Before it being signed and send off. So I think Becca will send that out. Is that, am I right? You would send that to Keith. And he'll go out in the packet for that. I think we're going to call that an executive committee meeting. Um, not everybody's got to be there, but we need to have at least three. It'll be very brief. I think probably no more than five minutes. This would be Friday at 10 a.m. Um, by zoom. And just to, um, a little more on that, the, the finance committee members have all agreed to be there. So nobody else has to be there, but you're all certainly welcome to join us. And we'll be back to you. We'll be back to you. And we'll be contacting as the executive committee when we. Okay. Anybody else have any, um, particular requests for. Next meeting agenda. Um, I will note that this is, um, so far been a fairly swift. Meeting.  Well, I'm actually very grateful. I'm very happy to be here with you. I'm very happy to be here with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the airport in about nine minutes, but, um, I, I see. We didn't get a chance to comment on our question. Our executive director's report. I just wanted to acknowledge. Um, Becca's work and the staff and community TV. Um, whom I think we now outnumber three to one. The board and the staff. But yeah, the, the, um, The department. We had a lot of meetings from what we had before. Went remarkably smoothly. It's, it's a lot. A lot simpler now. And yeah, I was delighted.  Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly, not gone would. Um, and also I caught the last part of the, the first health. Department. You know, COVID briefing. I believe if I can speak for the entire county staff, DuBecca and the team for helping us move those to strictly virtual format. Thank you. Well done. And I'd also like to say I caught the very first beginning of that broadcast and at the very beginning you see Ian at CTV on the very bottom of the Zoom. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I got to see the whole thing and it was beautifully done. They had a lot to handle and it went very well. Thank you to everyone. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. I'll share that with the team. OK. Any other announcements? Thank you for that, Director Muziarz and Safe Travels. Do you?  Safe Travels. Thank you very much. No, I'm picking up somebody. Yes. And now I will entertain a motion to adjourn. Matilda's not here. I don't know who's going to do it. I will move to adjourn. Director Muziarz moves to return. And Director Shaw seconds. I think this can be acclimation. Yeah. All those in favor say yes or wave. Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody. Thank you, folks, for coming. Thank you. Welcome aboard. Hi, everyone. Thank you, members. Welcome aboard. Thank you. Thank you, Guy. Bye.
